Having problems with your Nikon Coolpix 4500 Digital Camera ?
I suddenly have this message saying that my "Memory Card is Write Protected." I just want to know how to get rid of thia so I can move forwartd to out next movcie.....
Answers :
Pull the memory card out and verify the card lock switch has not been moved to the lock position.
SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks it, enabling writes. If the slide is already in the correct position, slide it fully the other way and then back.
If that doesn't work, try a different card.

The Walking Dead has just completed five seasons on air, and its popularity continues to grow, with the show now producing a spinoff.
Some speculate that AMC could renew the show for as long as Robert Kirkman continues to produce the graphic novel that inspired the series. Given the show's ratings and the social media fan universe it has created, it's conceivable that The Walking Dead could become one of the longest running shows in modern TV history.
But why is the show so popular? At the time Lexington Books published my edited volume Thinking Dead, the show was in its third season, and there was a sense that audiences were already experiencing zombie fatigue. After all, zombies have saturated popular culture now for over a decade, becoming mainstream in a way that George Romero likely could have never imagined when Night of the Living Dead was released nearly five decades ago.
As I note in the introduction to Thinking Dead, uncertainty and turbulence continue to fuel our fears about an apocalypse, but the deeper reason stems from what zombies represent: us. They are both our Others and ourselves, tantalizingly close to who we are (or were) yet irreconcilable. Some zombie genres, including Warm Bodies and the CW's new television show iZombie, have tried to "humanize" zombies and make them capable of having the same tendencies as the living.
But The Walking Dead has made sure the zombies stay Othered, and in this sense, both the graphic novel and television show present them almost as background to the larger conflict within and among the living. That's why both cultural texts captivate audiences and keep adding casual fans. We see ourselves as the survivors and are constantly asking what we would do in the same situations.
Still, the fascination with The Walking Dead rests primarily with its ability to entertain audiences, particularly as global economic, social, and political anxieties across the world continue to dominate our headlines. In other words, we feel sheltered by our weekly engagement with an imaginary apocalypse rather than confronting the real-life uncertainty around us. This is likely why The Walking Dead's popularity is only likely to grow.

Hive Five: Our daily listicle of musical musings
"I've been working with Kanye West for about nine years now, since before he was a signed artist," says Ken Lewis, a Grammy winning super studio wiz. Having recently launched an online engineering school, along with helping to mix, produce and arrange mega-hit records by Eminem, Lana De Rey and 50 Cent, we prompted Lewis to reveal all about how Kanye gets down behind the boards. Here's five suggestions.
1. Never Stop Rhymin'
The first time I was directly in the studio with Kanye, I was creating music for a song he was producing for Memphis Bleek and he was sitting on the back couch with a couple of his friends and he was just rhyming non-stop for hours. I had no idea he had any aspirations to be an artist -- I just thought he was a producer -- and I was listening to what he rapped and thought, "This guy's going to sell ten million records or ten records." And then several of the lines I heard him spit that night ended up being on The College Dropout.
2. Keep It Creative, Not Technical
Kanye is not really technical. He's more of the creative force behind the music. When recording, it's his vision and his ideas and his guidance and general direction and then usually we handle most of the technical stuff on how to get there. He's known for his ego, but he can be very smart and humble with his choices about who to bring in to help out.
3. Study Your Chops
In the studio, he doesn't do anything I haven't seen other guys do, but the way he chops up samples is really brilliant. His sense of musicality while he's doing it is far and beyond most other urban producers by a long shot.
4. Embrace the Vibe of the Day
There's a lot to Kanye's personality in the studio. I've seen him many times where he's supper focused and really concentrating hard on getting his lyrics right, and then other times there's 25 people in the room and he's rhyming non-stop to the beat just to try and entertain everyone. And I've definitely seen the sessions get a little wild sometimes…
5. Be a Perfectionist
Kanye knows exactly how he wants every part of the record to be, and he'll often keep working on tracks when other producers would have been happy with them a long time ago. Whether it's adding a whole horn section, like I did for him on "New Day," or tweaking something a lot of people might not even hear, he doesn't sign off until he thinks the song's perfect.
For more insights into how Kanye operates in the studio, check out this clip of 'Ye and Jon Brion:

Peter Crowley teaches what he practices. In his weekly group classes, Peter asks his students to turn their attention inward while feeling specific movement to promote more physical and mental comfort. He offers sequences embodying years of anatomical study bolstered by insights and anecdotes from his own practice spanning the last dozen years. By introducing methods for better breathing and an attentive approach to feeling, Peter encourages inquiry into aspects of a meditative practice that goes so much deeper than choreography or shape making. His class nurtures introspection and self-discovery in a non-competitive environment.
Peter found yoga in spring 2002 though he now believes that his practice began long before he ever stepped barefoot into an asana class. Through the advice of a dear friend, he started attending regular classes to address back pain and a heavy heart. Yoga guided him to rehabilitate the physical and soften his subtle body.
Peter first taught a yoga class in 2003 while living in San Francisco. Five years later, having completed two 200 hour trainings as a regular student of Ashtanga Vinyasa and Forrest Yoga, Peter left his job in architecture and began teaching full time. He has been studying alignment, pranayama, and philosophy under the guidance of master teacher Barbara Benagh for the last four years and has just earned his 300 hour teacher training certification. Today, his teaching style fuses the strength of his previous pursuits with the authenticity and deliberate placement found in Barbara's Slow Flow Vinyasa.
Grateful for the authenticity and discipline of his mentor, Peter encourages exploration, practices humility and teaches authentically. He believes that while our yoga practice is sacred and solemn, we must not lose sight of humor and humility.

As biology lets out, I mentally give it a review, as if I'm critiquing the class. 'It was boring and hard... and it seemed really hard...' I think to myself. 'So hard... I hate it already.'
The thing I hate most about school is that it seems like nobody else struggles with it except me. 'Why do I have to have problems with it? Why do I have to have a tutor?' Questions like these are flying through my mind as I get up and begin packing stuff into my backpack.
I glance upwards to see who's still in class; it's just me, Camilla, and Mrs. Green. Camilla's standing a few feet ahead, waiting for me. Not wanting to make her late for the next class, I begin moving my things around in my backpack as I walk, trying to make room for my biology book.
"Camilla," Mrs. Green says softly. I glance up from my struggles to see what's going on. "Could we speak in private?"
"S-sure," Camilla stutters out in response.
Noting how panicked Camilla looks, I decide it'd be better if I wasn't around to listen.
"I'll meet you outside, I guess," I offer, heading towards the door without waiting for her response. Just as I'm about to close it, I hear her mumble an "alright" to me.
In the hallway, people are shoving around to get to the next class. It's loud, and nobody seems to notice me. Glancing around quickly to make sure nobody's watching, I press my ear against the classroom door, watching Camilla and the teacher through the glass pane out of the corner of my eye. I'm curious as to what she's in trouble for.
Their voices are muffled and slightly hard to hear, but I manage it. Unfortunately, I'm slightly too late, because they're already speaking.
The first thing I hear is Mrs. Green, and she sounds kind of sad. "I know how you must feel, Camilla. Having Schizophrenia is not easy... especially when you're somewhere new, with new people, and you're nervous," she says.
'What's Schizophrenia?' I wonder, raking my brain for any knowledge of the word. I find nothing of the sort, and make a mental note to myself to look it up later.
Camilla speaks too quietly, so I don't hear her response to Mrs. Green's statement or what the teacher says next. I do, however, hear the next thing Camilla says.
"Strikey," she hisses in a loud and annoyed tone.
I hear the sound of footsteps getting louder and louder and quickly back away from the door and lean against a nearby wall, acting as if I didn't hear any of it. I might as well not have; none of it made sense to me.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - April 24, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa mmm tht &nln? l\npitb Editorial Page Wednesday, April 24, 1974 8-I bo mbs out A LETTER WRITER who chose anonymity has chided this page's caretakers for apparently ignoring the B-l bomber project, the price tag of which is growing more than slightly astronomical. The most significant feature carried lately, noted the writer, was a "gee-whiz" propaganda Item in the comics section's "Our New Age" feature April 14. The critic is wrong about the alleged omission: With the aid of Congressional Quarterly reports, this page carried a sizable pro-con appraisal of the federal government's B-l project last June 21. But recent as last June may seem, the B-l cost estimates used then are as obsolete as the B-25s James Doolittle Hew over Tokyo three wars ago. Thus, an updating is in order: When last we left the embattled super-bomber, the editorial advice was to let prototype development of three B-ls proceed but withhold an automatic go-ahead for all-out production of the 240-plane fleet. A price-tag on the test and evaluation prototype aircraft read $2.7 billion, and the projected cost-per-bombcr (built in the late 1970s) was a prodigious $43 million, compared with a $30 million estimate in 1970. Now the air force has decided on development of a fourth prototype (which suggests possible dissatisfaction over results so far), raising the research and development tab to $3.1 billion. As for the ultimate price of each B-l, it is now a stratospheric $56 million and rising. Defense department of ficials reportedly are estimating $61.5 million while the bomber's sternest critic, Rep. Otis G. Pike (D-N.Y.), predicts the cost of each supersonic needle-nosed bird could reach $75 million. Even so, assume that the B-l's builder, Rockwell International in Los Angeles, is able to bring it in for $60 million per plane. That is $14.4 billion above the $3 billion-plus already plunked down for prototype development. Granted, the B-l will be a fantastic weapon — able, among other feats, to carry tremendous nuclear payloads at altitudes below the range of existing radar systems. But what's to prevent the Russians from devising a low-scan radar system able to detect treetop grazing B-ls? The scenario recalls Goliath's invulnerability to every weapon except David's One needn't be a weaponry wizard to see that a bomber boasting 1975's finest gadgetry could be pitifully obsolete by the production schedule's wrapup in 1980. It becomes increasingly obvious that a modified B-52 fleet would satisfy the United States' manned-bomber strike-force capability until the needs of the 1980s and beyond come into focus. Significantly, the trustworthy old B-52 costs only $8 million and requires cost-of-flying increases in line with the economy's other cost hikes. In light of the cost differential, the case for full-scale production of 240 $60 million B-ls is difficult to defend. Dirty-name discredit WHEN PUBLIC issues with a heavy moral content focus on alternatives of life and death, they seem to summon from the woodwork people talented in calling names, sure as sin. The capital punishment issue attracts them in milder form. A syndicated columnist on this page recently dredged up the musty epithet of "bleeding hearts'' for those who stand against the penalty of death. Abortion tends to call forth stronger names. Countless of its enemies have freely hung the tag of "murderer'' on those who think personal choice is the guideline to follow. Fighting an idea by the name-call method rather than by offering ideas counter to the one opposed is juvenile, nasty and poorly persuasive, whichever side does it. There is no more wisdom in a "bleeding heart'' slap at death-penalty foes than in a "blood luster'' shot at those who favor executions. It is just as dirty to cry "murderer'' at pro-abortion people as to classify anti-abort ion spokesmen as "misery mongers'' and "pain pushers." Ail of this malicious stuff is obviously rooted in its users' feeling that the other side has bad or evil motives — in their failure to acknowledge that the opposition, too, is acting from a sense of helpfulness — of treating human beings right and doing good. The people who condemn abortion and the ones who favor freedom in it, for example, both regard their purposes as thoroughly respectable for everybody's good. Too many, notably the "murder" criers, do not honor that across the line. As all these sensitive, emotion-packed and ethics-weighted issues make their way through avenues of public discourse, a lacking element of mutual respect should temper the debate. Persistence anywhere in you're-a-so-and-so techniques will, more than anything, discredit those who call the names and help them lose. Way with words 'Libertine' evolves By Theodore M.

The answer depends, perhaps, on how long the person has been incarcerated or enslaved Levity to one side, libertine has or has had several different meanings. In ancient Rome it meant a freed slave. Iii the 16th century it meant a member of a political party in Geneva and also a member of a sect in France and Holland that repudiated the distinction between good and evil. Then it came to mean a freethinker. Today it means a rake or hedonist, someone who leads an immoral, sexually uninhibited life. • Feel testy? Here are a few questions to test you on words.

New York Time* Syndical* Theodore M. Bernstein Pistons, Zephyrs, Tapirs... Games-of-century ad nauseam By Russell Baker IN EARLY MARCH I became aware that something important had changed. I had stopped being a sports fan. News that the baseball teams were in spring training added no salt to life's daily routine (Nixon, taxes, bills and toil) and the approach of the basketball playoffs gave no lift to tired blood. The formation of yet another professional football league and the resulting stampede of players for more million-dollar salaries seemed drab stuff that one had to tolerate on the ll p.m. news reports to get to the weather report, and the news that one heavyweight had flattened another somewhere in the tropics for the world championship passed over me so quietly that I did not even catch the champion's name. Henry Aaron's home run that beat Babe Ruth's record was, I could still agree, a splendid thing, but my appreciation of it was purely intellectual. I was not emotionally moved, nor disputatious about it, as a true sports fan would have been. I had simply had it with sports. I think the explanation is that there was just too much of it for any of it to be very engaging any more. It had gotten so there was a new game of the century every other day. It was like having a banana split with every meal. It just quit tieing fun. The proliferation of teams was confusing, too. At one time there were 16 baseball teams and a comparable number of teams playing professional football and baseball, ,and if you applied yourself to it you could keep them all in your head. Not any more. Nowadays, each sport has so many leagues with so many teams that the leagues are broken down into "divisions," which means there must be divisional playoffs, and league playoffs, and championship playoffs constantly in progress. Teams with names like the People's forumRetarded helped To the Editor: This National Volunteer week, the Linn (Ounty Assn. for Retarded Children wishes to join all other community service agencies in thanking the volunteers who make our various projects and programs possible.

These people are to be congratulated for the time and talents they have given over the last year in more than 40 areas of involvement by the LCARC. Many of the talents of our parents and professionals have been further enhanced by volunteer hours from citizens who are not association members.

What can you make of a headline that says, "Whalers Swallow Bolts'' or "Pistons Tree Raccoons"? Half the time you don't even know what sport is being played, or what city the teams represent. Somebody has calculated that there were 105 professional sports teams playing games as of last winter, and new football and baseball leagues now being formed will add another 20 or 30 teams to the stew in the next few years. It is easier to keep track of Middle East politics. Sports has come to seem like an industrial boom. The greed of prayers and owners who move themselves and their teams from city to city in quest of more Russell Baker and more bucks make it increasingly silly to cultivate the home-team chauvinism on which the sports fan thrives. How can you give >our heart to a home-team hero who may skip to Chicago next year for a million-dollar salary? Or feel affection for a team that may be shifted to El Paso next season so the owner can get a bigger cut of the peanut concession? Sports, after all, are only games that children can play, yet how is the childish joyousness of the game to bt* reconciled with the knowledge that the player you yearn to idolize is a big businessman drawing a $3IKI,00<) salary and probably county a community that offers a home, love and pride to the retarded. I look forward to working with all of them again this year and to welcoming many new individuals to the ranks of this community's fine volunteers. Dale Bryant, LCARC president 712 Third avenue SE Gladly suffered To the Editor 14ist year after discovering that I was again expecting another child, I had mixed reactions. It was an "accidental" pregnancy, although I'm convinced that many so-called accidental pregnancies are not really accidental, but an unconscious wish for a baby, an inborn desire for most women. (It took me four children to be able to admit this to myself). However, whatever ny reasons, conscious or otherwise, the idea of an abortion crossed my mind. But there was no dickering within myself; something in me said, "You can't do it!" I had no choice but to have my baby, although I knew I was in for a rough nine months. I ani 41, and each pregnancy was always worse than the one before. I had many problems, ranging from severe nausea — for which I was hospitalized — to painful, premature contractions that began well before the sixth month and became worse as time passed. It became extremely painful to walk, and in the last month I sometimes had to crawl up our stairs, crying the while. I also have varicose veins. I knew what I was getting into by deciding to have this child. And true to form, I really did suffer. But I suffered also with the joy of expectancy, the miracle of creating a new life. Pro-aburtionists are having trouble deciding when the baby becomes alive. I entertaining a $5(61,000 offer to go over to the enemy? Baseball's racism, which everybody has been willing to forego mentioning at one time, seems squalidly obvious now that the club owners with their franchise shifting have demonstrated that their contempt for the hometown fans is as solid as their distaste for black hands in the management. And then, of course, the athletes themselves make it harder and harder for fans to endow them with the stuff of heroism. Boxing has become a clown show for TV, reminiscent of professional wrestling, an entertainment for TV boobs. Baseball players strike for better working conditions, like the average working stiff, and athletes of all persuasions become as huffy as Presidents and withhold their wisdom from newspapermen who decline to priase them with regularity. The constant court battles are also depressing. On many days more of the sports news comes from the courtroom than the playing field. Watergate is more fun. Mostly though, it was the excess that dulled my edge. A demolition derby, a golf tournament, a motorcycle jumping contest, championship figure-skating competition, a championship boxing match, the crucial game of the NBA divisional playoffs, the climactic game of the Stanley ('up series, the setting of a new pole-vault record, the rubber game of the Orioles-Tigers series and reruns of last Wednesday's and Friday's games of the century are too much for one afterturn, In "Death of a Salesman ", tin* unworldly Happy eagerly asks his much-traveled older brother Biff, who has had a multitude of girls, what it s like, having enjoyed all those women.

Bonnie Turner 4443 C avenue NE vJ5 -aS&Vv Ugly ducklingShockley putdown try blown By William F. Buckley, jr. AT YALE university the other night * Professor William Shockley was to debate with Mr. William Rusher of National Review the whole business of Negro psychometric inferiority and what should be done about it. What should be done about it, in the opinion of Professor Shockley, is something on the order of genetic manipufation, for the purpose of improving the human species. You would use sperm banks, contributed by the very brightest men, destined to impregnate the very brightest women around; and before too long we would all be sounding like Albert Einstein. This is a drastic compression of Shockley's position, and if I have some of the words wrong, never mind — because the music is right. Doctor Shockley is the complete liberal. His judgments are scientific and his values are, well, derived from empirical conclusions. Bright people are better than dumb people. Therefore let's have more bright people and fewer dumb people. Therefore get babies formed by the union of bright spermatozoa and bright ova. And after a while, you get Shockley-land. What happened at Yale is now quite generally known. The debaters arrived, they stood on the platform for 75 minutes during which the audience jeered and booed and hissed; finally, Shockley being brighter than a lot of other people, realized that, to adapt slightly what they used to say in the South in days gone by, Ain't no Shockley goin' speak here tonight. So he left, escorted by a dozen or so marshals. Credentials lacked? The role of Yale university was ambivalent. On the one hand, President Kingman Brewster begged undergraduate organizations not to invite Shockley to the campus. Not so much because Shockley's appearance would result in disorder. He put it differently, stressing how obnoxious are the doctrines of Dr. Shockley, and how offensive to the racial minority of black students at Yale. Here he has a point, though it is not one he is given to adducing about other speakers representing, say, the communist movement. And then also, to stress Dr. Shockley's disqualifications, Mr. Brewster noted that he is not a trained geneticist. Shockley is somewhat difficult to handle because he got a Nobel Prize for something or other having to do with transistors. At Stanford university, they have refused to permit Shockley to teach a course on his new enthusiasm under the auspices of the biology department, citing his lack of professional credentials. This is done gratefully because it gives the faculty a t«*chnical excuse for aborting a course they do not want as part of the curriculum. The trouble is, of course, that Shockley has that insatiable mind, and there is no reason to suppose that if he gave all his time to the study of genetics, which he appears to bt* doing, he would In* professionally incompetent after a few years to teach genetics. Shockley is not (in this respect) dumber than the 22-year-old graduate students who, after two or three years of study, are permitted to teat h genetics. Cosmology imperiled The scandal, my friend, is of a different order. It was not widely noted by the press that Shockley's opponent, this time around, was not scheduled to l>e one of those liberal Ashley Montague typos, who are put up against Shockley mostly for the purpose of delivering doctrinaire defenses against the validity of his preliminary findings on the matter of variations of intelligence. The trouble with these is that they do not always persuade the audience up against the figures adduced by Shockley. And when they fail at a technical level, there goes the ball game. If in fact it is proved with scientific conclusiveness that there is a disparity between average Negro intelligence psychometrically measured, and that of whites, the consequences for liberal egalitarian dogma would be nothing short of catastrophic. Their cosmology would fall. But this would not be the case for those whose values are Christian, and whose belief is in metaphysical equality. Shockley would probably win a debate with Ashley Montague. L'p against William Rusher, he would be slaughtered. Because Rusher would focus not on the inexactitude of Shockley's findings, but on.their irrelevancy. And, as regards his prescriptions, he would say quite simply that they are peo-barbarie. By which I mean that they are the 20th-Century equivalent of the pagan infanticide by which a society regulated, to its own satisfaction, the male-female ratio of the population. What was obviously proved at Yale is that Shockley cannot get a fair trial at the hand of Kingman Brewster. What was incidentally lost at Yale was the opportunity to show that only true conservatives can dispose with confidence of the Shockley menace.

Lovely chapter, the doe as a prelude for Lothiriel.
Beautifully expressed the loneliness of young Eomer.
| Thanwen chapter 16 . 8/13/2011
Simply great: a convincing story is coming to a plausible ending.
I enjoyed reading exceedingly, as not only the main characters are presented in a most impressive way but also the minor ones are original individuals and the interaction of the members of the Éored is without any doubt believable and realistic.
I am more than glad that after all that time you found the energy and inspiration to finish this story, though I have to admit that I'm nevertheless hoping you might from time to time remember "the boys" and add some more episodes. (Sorry, I know I'm greedy, but it's the quality of your story that causes me to be. ;-))
Thank you for a formidable story.

Excellent chapter as always, I can't wait for the next installment!
| Dwimordene chapter 13 . 12/16/2010
Hurray, a new chapter!
But no good news for Eomer or Arnhelm, unfortunately. At least Anlaf's fate is less grim - I was sure he had run into a group of orcs, but freak accidents do sometimes happen. The Riders will have to find a way across the river soon, or else the beacon guards on Halifirien will have to come help the stranded, injured pair, or the goblins will undoubtedly have their way with them.
Just a quick note: it seems that sometimes the é on "Éomer" or "éored" has been left off. Other times, it is there. Not sure if that's a problem with the site or fingers slipping, but every so often, the accented letter is missing.
| aloha94 chapter 12 . 9/5/2010
I just found this story recently and I love it! :) Poor Eomer and Arnhelm! Now they're really in a tight spot. I can't wait to read more. I hope you post the next chapter soon!
| Dwimordene chapter 12 . 8/20/2010
Oof, tough break for Eomer and Arnhelm. So they're on their own for the next day, unless the Halifirien guard comes for them. Let us hope for no orcs, or these two are going to be on the spit by the time Elfhelm can reach them.
It seems that Eomer is finally getting his head on straight, though it's going to take some time before he and Arnhelm can stand each other, I imagine. Let's hope the way to a Rider's heart is through his horse's - if Eomer can get Ravenwing on his side, perhaps his battle will be half won.

Did you decide to stop writing this story? And leaving it on a cliff-hanger? I would be much obliged if you felt up to continuing it, it's quite good.
| Dunadan-von-Numenor chapter 11 . 1/10/2010
Hallo meine Liebe!
Ein frohes neues Jahr!
Wie schön, das Du wieder schreiben kannst!
Und wie gut es doch immer wieder tut, der realen Welt ab und an einfach mal den Rücken zuzukehren, um sich der Welt unserer Helden zuzuwenden und darin einzutauchen.
Ein ganz schöner Dickkopf kommt in dieser Story zum Vorschein. Ich kann mich regelrecht in seinen inneren Kampf hineinversetzen. Stolz, Verzweiflung, Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Erschöpfung und ein wenig Angst kämpfen um die Oberhand. Sehr einfühlsam heraus gearbeitet!
Anlafs Zorn und Misstrauen ist von seiner Seite aus sehr gut verständlich. Ich stelle mich auf seine Seite, wenn ich auch nicht denke, dass Éomer tatsächlich noch etwas Schlimmes von Arnhelm zu befürchten hat. Nichts Schlimmeres vielleicht, als zukünftig eine etwas ruppige Behandlung.
Was Arnhelm selbst betrifft, so denke ich, dass er wahrhaftig genügend Schwierigkeiten zu erwarten hat, sie denn jemals heil daheim ankommen!
Hey! Das war aber mal wieder ein ganz gemeiner Zeitpunkt, das Kapitel zu beenden. Aber - wem sage ich das? Ich glaube ja nicht wirklich, dass Du nur ganz zufällig den 'ganzen' Berg hast auf sie stürzen lassen?
Ich bin wie immer furchtbar neugierig darauf, wie es denn weitergeht!
Vielen lieben Dank erst einmal für diese Fortsetzung.
In Erwartung dessen, was da weiter kommen mag,
liebe Grüße
| Dwimordene chapter 11 . 1/2/2010
Well, it appears that Arnhelm is just doomed - this is really not his day, not even when he catches his prey.
And poor Anlaf! I don't see how he's going to come out of this. Even if he isn't captured by orcs, slamming into something at full gallop ought to break bones in ways that won't reknit, and quite possibly will kill him outright. The only question is whether the éored will find him and how they'll interpret his separation from Arnhelm.
Éomer appears to be caught between what he knows is the truth, a decision between the mountain and the river that turned out to be the wrong one, and his hatred of Arnhelm. At some point, he will have to get over his impulsiveness enough to make good judgments in a *timely* fashion. He's already going to feel awful when he finds out about Anlaf, and if anything happens to any of the other éored Riders, he probably will feel worse for prompting them to expose themselves to danger on his behalf like this.
And now the mountain has decided to come down on him and Arnhelm - this does not look good. The mountain may be treacherous, but it looks like the beacon hill post is the only help within reach. Let's see if anyone comes for them... or if Éomer can drag himself at least over there to get help!
Two quick grammar notes: "What advise do you hope to gather from a dead king" - should be: "What advice do you hope to gather..."
"I could easily have shot you in the back when you turned it at me at the river." - Should be: "I could easily have shot you in the back when you turned it to me at the river."

The Middler is a Man in the Middle tool to demonstrate protocol middling attacks. Led by Jay Beale, the project involves a team of authors including InGuardians agents Justin Searle and Matt Carpenter. The Middler is intended to man in the middle, or "middle" for short, every protocol for which we can create code.
In our first alpha release, we released a core built by Matt and Jay, with introductory plug-ins by Justin and InGuardians agent Tom Liston. It runs on Linux and Mac OS X, with most of the code functional on Windows.
The current codebase is in the beta state, with a full release coming soon, with better documentation (see the wiki), easier installation, and even more plug-ins, at least if Justin has his way!
Plug-InsJustin and Tom's first plug-ins were very cool:
The author team has done a tremendous amount of research, design and pseudo-code work, fleshing out attacks on web-based e-mail systems and social networking sites. We'll be standing up an external Wiki soon to share more of these ideas, but you can get early details from our slides from Jay and Justin's talks at Def Con and ShmooCon.
Dependencies:The Middler depends on the following Python modules:

We don't agree on what the play is about, and that's only the beginning! K. raves over Butler at Northlight while Jonathan recommends The Matchmaker (the proto-Hello, Dolly) at the Goodman.

In brief: Adapt Theatre's Pride & Prejudice at the side project; Butler at Northlight
Elizabeth Bennett, The Girl and Mr. Darcy in Adapt Theatre's production of Pride and Prejudice.
K. sez:
Pride and Prejudice at Adapt Theatre is a delight. even at 3-+ hours. Using the framing device of an awkward teenage girl (Laila Sauer) who resists reading the book, adapter Lane Flores and director Amanda Lautermilch create a version faithful to the original but with a youthful and contemporary feel. Aja Wiltshire is a lovely Elizabeth, with just the right balance of snark and sweetness, and Andrew Thorp makes persuasive Darcy's transformation from pompous asshole to gentleman lover. And of course any shy young girl obsessed with music would find herself turning into Georgiana! Cassandra Laine and Melissa Reeves uphold the honor of the older generation as Mrs. Bennet and Lady Catherine, each appalling in her own way, and Connor Konz takes a part that's been done by A-listers like Alan Cumming and makes it his own: he could hardly be smarmier or more self-satisfied or more ludicrous. Some of the choices are a little strange—why is Mary wearing headgear and combat boots, again?—but others are terrific, like the weird instrument Mary insists on playing to Lizzy's humiliation and the disapprobation of all.
If these names mean nothing to you, it's time to get acquainted with Pride & Prejudice, and Adapt Theatre provides the close-to-ideal introduction. And if you know exactly who I'm talking about, prepare to spend an afternoon or evening smiling as you hear dialogue directly from the book spoken by people who clearly love Jane Austen as much as you do. And at $20 ($15 for students and seniors), you can't beat the price! At the (tiny) side project in Rogers Park through April 10, unless we get lucky and they extend it.
Butler (which, come to think of it, could be called "Pride & Prejudice" itself!) is about as likely as a unicorn: a comedy about slavery and the Civil War. But a very smart script by Richard Strand, impeccable direction by Stuart Carden and especially the comic chops of the four-man company make both moving and hilarious this fictional re-telling of a real incident which helped turn the tide against the Fugitive Slave Act. Major General Benjamin Franklin Butler (the outstanding —no, astonishing!—Greg Vinkler) has just taken command of Fort Monroe, a Union outpost in Virginia, when escaped slave Shepard Mallory (Tosin Morohunfola, whom I've somehow never seen before but can't wait to see again) shows up demanding sanctuary. Their battle of wits, interspersed with commentary by Nate Burger as the General's adjutant and high Confederate swanning by Tim Monsion as the officer sent to retrieve Mallory, is funny and profound and touching all at the same time. The most intense pleasure of the evening arises from Strand's observation that these two apparent opposites—the black slave and the white general—are actually exactly alike. Northlight's production runs through April 17 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie.

Romantic Guide to Budapest
One Day in Budapest
One day in Detail...step by step
Had a breakfast here. Nothing special at all. Average place where you can eat if you don't know another places nearby.
Good, fresh food, good service. The waiter brought us cocktails from the bar. Limited menu with no Hungarian staples, but I could still find items to order.
Visited here multiple times during my quick visit. Nothing fancy, but quality coffee and beverages. Cool atmosphere and very good location.
The food was excellent, however, this was let down by the service. It was a Saturday night with pouring rain and thunderstorms so the hotel restaurant was extremely busy as everyone opted to eat in. We agreed to share a table with another couple waiting to be seated, the first couple of courses arrived in reasonable time and I had...

Opening in October 2013 on the ever-so-hip Windsor portion of Chapel Street, and tickling nostalgic fancies with its reference to 1984 classic The Karate Kid, the restaurant has enjoyed a steady stream of customers since. I remember stopping by with a friend one Thursday night mid last year to enquire about a table, and we were told it would be a two-hour wait. Well! Either this place is really good, I thought, or really good at hype.
|Always a queue at the front desk
I made a calculated plan with friends to score a table there on a Friday night recently. I rocked up nice and early, 6:45pm-ish, and put my name down for a table. They advised the wait would be approximately an hour, probably less, noted down my mobile number and encouraged me to wait out the back, in what turned out to be quite a spacious, pleasantly vibey but quieter, separate bar area (--yesss! wine).
Waiting on my own at that point, I was directed to a bench stool - not only uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time, but also facing a very boring wall. However, the staff were lovely and helpful, if a bit rushed. I sampled some of the long-awaited food whilst waiting - unintentionally, I chose two things wagyu: the wagyu brisket betel leaf, and the wagyu tartare pipe. Both were delicious, and I washed them down with a lovely Sem/Sav from Margaret River - one of my favourites, but a bit precious at $13 a glass.
|Betel leaf and wagyu tartare pipe
At around 8pm, just when I was reaching tiredness/boredom/sore butt peak, my friends rocked up and almost on cue, my phone beeped with a cheeky text saying our table was ready (15 minutes later than advised, but not too bad). The 'cheeky' thing is played up throughout the restaurant: the website makes reference to 'going down' and a 'little black book', the menu to 'finish him' with a 'sweet ending', and similar phrases are dotted around the restaurant decor. I get that they are going for what they think is a sexy, fun vibe, but I actually found it all a little crass. And in what seems to be commonplace these days, there is also branding on EVERYTHING.
|People, hip trendy people everywhere
My bar tab was neatly transferred to our restaurant table tab and we were led through the pumping restaurant to one end of a communal table. Next to the bar and smack-bang in the middle of the restaurant, our spot was a great viewing point for the rest of the venue (and all the swankily-dressed, hip, young, southside things), and thankfully had regular-height chairs (my butt thanked me).
Being a Friday night, the staff - though plentiful - were stupidly busy and, post menus, we had to ask for pretty much everything: drinks, to order our food, extra water, the bill. Again, the staff were nice and friendly (and strangely, all very young - and I'm not that old), but it did feel like the restaurant was doing us a favour by deigning to serve us, rather than the other way round. We felt almost like a hindrance.
The noise level also made us feel old! OK, so I'm all for vibe, and understand that pretty much everywhere along Chapel Street is full to the brim on a Friday night, but this place was like a noisy club. That may appeal to some, but I was there to try the food in a stylish environment and catch up with my mates. The food was great, but the experience of sampling it was dampened by the extremely loud music and rushed atmosphere; and my friends and I could barely hear each other and all left with sore throats from having to shout. At one point we even asked one of the nice waitresses about the likelihood of having the music turned down - even a notch - and she said it was impossible, because they kept it that way on purpose, for the vibe. Again - I get it - but it made the entire Mr. Miyagi experience quite unpleasant for me and my friends, even disappointing. Shame.
|Painkillers... necessary for the loud-music-induced headache
Food-wise, we went for the 'feed me' option. Don't you love how that's become a thing? It's not only the lazy (wo)man's easiest bet in a world of far too much choice, but it's also usually quite economical, and a good rounded sample of the menu. At Mr. Miyagi, it meant heeeeeaps of food, bordering on too much - all pretty good quality and (despite lacking enough fresh/green things) pretty good variety - for $55 per head. We ate:
|Nori taco...
|...with cool marbled shell effect
|Small ngiri and sashimi combo... all beautiful quality
|Even the food was branded.
|Tempura broccoli - surprisingly delicious
|Prawn 'dawg' x3... meh...
basically deep-fried prawn-flavoured meat on a stick
|DIY steamed bao pulled pork buns
|(I did mine good)
|Geddit... MIYAGI Fried Chicken? (= more branding)
|Pumpkin toast... yes really
|I didn't really 'go nuts' for these, but the
pistachio and gingerbread ice creams were nice
I thought Mr. Miyagi was a schmick affair: obviously a tightly-run ship and, on the whole, well thought out. The food, service, layout and decor were all great, but until I can hear myself think in there (and the wait times are reduced), I won't be going back.
