Murderous Perfection
By Ash Kaiba
DISCLAIMER!! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or ideas from The Door to December by Dean Koontz that I used for inspiration.
I got this idea at school. I've wanted to do something like The Door to December for a while. I hope it comes along well.
Six Years Ago…
"What? We made a deal! If I won, then you will have to adopt Mokuba too!" The voice yelled.
A boy with long raven hair sat up. He had been lying on his bed, waiting for his brother's chess match to end. Yellow shorts covered his thighs as a green shirt covered his upper body. His wide violet eyes watched two silhouettes outside. The one that spoke was shorter than the second. A young, but demanding voice echoed from it. The tall one had a rough voice as it yelled at the short shadow.
"We made a deal! I can't leave this place without him!"
"Why not, brat?"
"I promised him! I promised him that I will make a life for us!"
"Well, you're coming, but I have no need for him. Some other family can have him, but you possess what qualities I desire in my heir." The adult stopped. "Pack up while I do the paper work. Say good-bye to that runt of yours."
The tall shadow walked away, leaving the small one behind. It finally turned and the door slid open. A brunette stood on the other side, appearing to be struggling to hold back his tears. The blue eyes slowly got watery, reminding the younger boy of the ocean. The boy jumped off the bed and ran to brunette.
"Seto, did you win?" He asked.
"Yes, I did, Mokie."
"Mokuba…" Seto called as his little brother tried to get their bags. "Mokuba…"
"We have to get ready!"
"You have to stay here."
The comment froze his entire body. Mokuba slowly turned his head. His violet eyes widened in shock. Seto's face grew dark as he lowered his head.
"Are you…"
"No, Mokuba. This isn't a joke. I have to ready to leave soon."
"But, you promised!" He yelled. "You promised that we can be together! That you will take care of us!"
"I'm sorry. I truly am. He says he doesn't need you, only me. But, I need you. So, please continue living. I will try to find you. I swear…"
"Okay," the boy sniffed. "Then, you need to pack."
"Yes," Seto answered, pulling his bag out and opening their dresser. He snatched the best condition khakis, shirts, and pullovers. They moved about silently, not saying one word. Then, Seto asked, "Mokuba, will you remember me?"
The boy looked at him. "Yes."
"If I don't come looking for you, will you look for me? Remind me who I am and who you are?"
The ocean eyes glanced at the doorway. A man in a red suit with a dark maroon tie glared at him. His stone irises froze the boys in place. His hands kept themselves busy. One was holding his cigar and the other was holding his gold and platinum pocket watch. The suit was neat and crisp, not a single wrinkle was on it.
"You better be ready to leave," he snapped.
The man glared at him harder. "Kyo, get his bag."
A man in black appeared and snatched the blue duffel bag. As fast as he appeared, Kyo disappeared. Seto looked back at Mokuba. He placed his fair skinned hand on his brother's head and ruffled the black curls. Then, Mokuba felt tears crawl into his eyes. He jumped into Seto's arms. His warms tears soaked the dry pullover. Seto smiled and hugged him back.
"I'll miss you," Mokuba wept.
"So will I."
Seto walked over to the bed and set him down. He pecked Mokuba's forehead. Mokuba held on, just for one more minute with the only family he had.
"I have to go, Mokie." He whispered as he released the boy. "Good-bye."
Seto turned on the ball of his foot. Mokuba watched his brother approach the man. The man turned and allowed the boy to walk in front of him. His violet eyes struggled to take in what happened. As the door slowly closed, Mokuba jumped to his feet as if he remembered something. He started to run at the door, almost completely closed now. His mouth opened to call his brother back to him. But, the door had closed.
"Cheer up, kid. Someone will adopt you."
"My brother's gone."
Every adult struggled to cheer the boy up. But, he continued to sit by the window, watching if his brother would pull up and carry him out or join him back at the orphanage.
"If I don't come looking for you, will you look for me?"
"I will," he whispered. "I will."
He glanced at the calendar. It is still hard to believe that you left about a month ago. He thought as a bell rang. The boy turned toward the door and rose to his feet. His tanned hand grabbed a picture. He glanced at himself and his brother playing chess. The genuine smile on his brother's lips stood out. I hope your okay, big brother. Mokuba prayed as he walked to the sliding door. He gripped the handle, the cold cutting down to his bone. Slowly, he stepped out and closed it behind him.
"Hey, Mokuba! Come on!" A kid yelled.
"Yeah, runt!"
He followed their orders, lining up with kids in his age group. They stood in formation as the old caretaker greeted the adoptive parents. Young, worried eyes searched the crowd for a twelve year old, but the adults blocked all the possible cracks. Couples fell in love with every other child. They avoided him, claiming he held onto the past for too long. Mokuba sat down on the couch, staring at his worn out shoes. The picture floated to the ground.
"Excuse me," a feminine voice called. "Did you drop this?"
Mokuba lifted his eyes up to a pair of chestnuts. "Yes, thank you."
She smiled at him. The woman knelt down in front of him. Her dark blue skirt pulled itself tight on top of her golden legs. A matching jacket covered a cream blouse.
"My name is Hiroshima Amaye. What's yours?"
"Mokuba…Nijomi Mokuba. That's what my brother would say."
"Your brother…is he here? I would like to see the two of you."
Mokuba shook his head. Amaye appeared to understand. She pulled the boy into a hug. Mokuba listened to a man talk to the caretaker. He faintly heard that the man was interested in adoption. Scratching of an ink pen reached his ears. Then, the man approached him with a smile. Amaye grinned as he whispered in her ear. The boy cocked his head, confused.
"Mokuba…welcome to the Hiroshima family. I am your stepfather, Hiroshima Arika."
Tears trickled down his face. Mokuba leapt into Arika's arms as Amaye asked the caretaker where his room was.
"Arika," Mokuba addressed.
"If I can find him, would you like to meet my big brother?"
"Both Amaye and I would…if you find him."
It's your time to shine. It's review time!

Three homers at the plate and solid pitching put the Bees back in the win column at home Tuesday.
Nathan Haynes, back in the leadoff spot after missing two straight, clubbed his first homer of the year and drove in three runs. The diminutive speedster has now driven in seven runs already this year, a total it took him 17 games to reach last season.
Starter Kasey Olenberger, 29, surrendered just two runs in seven innings to pick up the win in his first appearance of the year. The righty allowed nine hits and one walk while striking out a pair. Success didn't come often at Franklin Covey Field last year for Olenberger, who posted a 6.70 ERA at home, more than two and a half points higher than his mark on the road.
Terry Evans and Brandon Wood each collected their second homers of the season. For Evans, hitting in the sixth hole Tuesday, the blast was the second in two days.
Travelers split with Midland 9-1, 4-5
After dominating the RockHounds in game one, Arkansas couldn't put things together in the seven-inning nightcap as the clubs split their match-up. The Travs will finally head home to open their new ballpark on Thursday.
Second baseman Adam Morrissey continued his hot start, picking up his first homer while going 2-for-3 and scoring three runs in game one, then coming back with a single and RBI in game two. The 25-year-old righty has spent parts of the last four seasons in the Texas League in the Rangers and A's systems, posting a career-best .313 in 208 at-bats for Frisco last year before struggling in the PCL. The Australian, who originally signed with the Cubs in 1999, was signed to help fill an organizational need this offseason.
After hitting third through the season's first four contests, shortstop Sean Rodriguez shifted to the five hole. The change didn't seem to have any impact as he came up a triple shy of the cycle with three RBIs in the afternoon then came back 1-for-2 with a walk later. After going 0-for-4 in the season opener, Rodriguez, 21, has been on base at least twice in every contest and he now has six extra-base hits in 21 at-bats.
Jesse Smith, 26, turned in a strong season debut, going six shutout innings in game one and giving up just three hits and no walks. The righty had only three scoreless outings in 27 starts for the Travs last season and walked four or more hitters seven times.
Quakes get another big-league win 4-2
Relying on 5.2 innings from Bartolo Colon in his second – and likely final – rehab appearance in the Cal League, Rancho moved to 5-1 on the season by downing the Dodgers' farmhands at Inland Empire for the second night in a row.
Colon allowed five hits and a pair of earned runs, but walked none and struck out five for the Quakes. His only significant trouble came in the fourth when he gave up a pair of doubles to open the frame and then a one-out single to plate the second run. He came back to end it with a pair of strikeouts. He retired the final seven batters he faced before giving way to Brok Butcher after reaching his 75 pitch limit.
For the second consecutive Colon start, Butcher followed him out of the pen and looked great, The 23-year-old righty went 3.1 innings of scoreless work to extend his run to 7.1 frames to start the year. Working at three different levels last year – primarily at Cedar Rapids - the 2005 draft pick posted a 3.75 ERA in 81.2 innings. He will move into the starting rotation once Colon and Weaver have left.
Hainley Statia was again in the middle of the Quakes' scoring, doubling in a run and scoring in the first inning. He came back with another double to center in the second and now sports a .400/.400/.520 line through the season's first six games. After struggling against lefties last year, the switch-hitter is now 3-for-7 after the two hits Tuesday.
Defense abandons Cedar Rapids in 6-0 loss
The Kernels committed four errors in the field and several more on the basepaths Tuesday on the way to splitting their two-game series with Quad Cities.
Kernels starter Sean O'Sullivan gave up a pair of homers among the four hits he allowed in six innings of work, matching the total he allowed in the entire 2006 season. 15 of the 22 balls put in play against O'Sullivan were on the ground, and two more were popped up to the infield. Last season, the sinkerball pitcher had a 3-to-2 ground ball to fly ball ratio.
Third baseman Matt Sweeney's double in the fourth inning was his second hit of the game, making him the club's only hitter with multiple hits or an extra-base hit. Forthy percent of his hits went for extra bases last season. Sweeney was unable to take advantage of reaching base on Tuesday however, getting picked off after a single in the first and then thrown out at third on a strange 6-3-5 double play after his double.
Ryan Mount, making the transition to second base this year, committed his first error at the position to set up one of the Swing's two unearned runs. After playing primarily at shortstop in his first two professional seasons, he and PJ Phillips are both shifting over to accommodate Sweeney in the field. Mount has started the year 0-for-8 at the plate.

|Translating Lucene Query Syntax to Traditional Boolean Syntax
|Tue, 25 Sep 2007 01:05:11 GMT
We have an application that performs searches against a Lucene based index and also against a Windows Desktop Search based index. For simple queries we'd like to offer our users a consistent interface that allows them to build basic Lucene style queries using the 'MUST HAVE' (+), 'MUST NOT HAVE' (-) and 'SHOULD HAVE' style of operators as this is probably more intuitive for non 'Boolean Logic' literate users. We would not allow them to use any grouping (parenthesis). Clearly we can pass this directly to Lucene, but for the Windows Desktop Search we need to translate the Lucene style query into a more traditional Boolean query. So this is the opposite of the much discussed Boolean Query to Lucene Query conversion. I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this or whether there is a concept mismatch in there somewhere that will make it difficult to do? My thought was that you could take the standard Lucene operators and simply group them together as follows: e.g. (assuming the Lucene default OR operator) Lucene: +a +b -c -d e f would translate to: (a AND b NOT c NOT d) OR (a AND b NOT c NOT d AND (e OR f)) If I put this back into Lucene (actually Lucene.NET but hopefully its the same) I get back: (+a +b -c -d)(+a +b -c -d +(e f)) which I think is equivalent but not as concise! But I have not tested this against a big index to see if it's equivalent and I have a suspicion that Lucene might score the two versions of the Lucene representation differently. But that's probably not an issue provided the Boolean representation is semantically equivalent to the first Lucene representation. Anyone ever tried this before or have any comments on whether my 'logic' is flawed!

Two days, after Connor had left, the vampires began to recover, in a minute way. Revenge, became the thing foremost on every vampire's mind, whether they had known and loved Michelle, or whether she was simply a coven member. The killing of one of their own... There was only one way, throughout the history of their world, that a murder could be dealt with.
And that, of course, was murder. But it fitted in just nicely, with Stuart and Darragh's plans. Because, the Dedicators, had returned from viewing the body, with the information that no scent could be determined, from the scene, or from her lifeless corpse.
"Darragh, you have to, there's no other way around it, you have to," I pleaded unhappily, my legs striding twice for each of his.
"Lizzie, I'm not going anywhere, while this coven is at risk, and that's the end of that." He said firmly, twisting his body so I could see the very determined 'no' look upon his face.
"But, it's Connor, Darragh. He'll never forgive himself if he doesn't get to say goodbye, for that last time," I said quietly, looking up at him, my eyes watering again.
"And, I'll never forgive myself, if anything happens while I'm out, fruitlessly searching for him." He said, stopping before his door, and opening it with ease. "Besides, I wouldn't know where to begin to look, nor how I'd help. We've no idea what he's going through, I don't see how we could offer any comfort, in the least."
Walking into his apartment, I sat on the sofa in the corner, wrapping my arms around my legs, drawing them tight to me. He threw a concerned look towards me, and abandoned his mission to put a load of clothes into the washing machine, and placed them back onto the ever growing pile.
He walked over slowly, and sat down beside me, pulling at my legs until they fell away, then picking me up gently, and setting me on his lap, in his arms. He wrapped them around me, and whispered quietly, my hearing acute enough so that he didn't need to whisper in my ear for me to hear, yet he moved his lips closer anyway. "How would I forgive myself, if something happened to you?"
My heart was racing, beating violently within my chest. "I'm not sure what you mean," I said quietly, avoiding his eyes.
"I would never, ever recover, Lizzie," He said softly, his voice reverberating against the skin of my cheek, tickling it. He was so close...
I turned my face, and gasped as his lips brushed against my cheek. He pulled away instantly, and we both stared at each other, in shock.
I wanted those lips against my cheek, against my lips... He'd pulled away... If I could just muster the courage to move those few inches...
He rubbed my arm brusquely, then shifted me to the side.
"Well, better get that washing on, y'know, I'll never do it otherwise," He said, smiling, and jumping from the sofa, leaving me there, shell shocked, and missing his arms.

Elena. - 17Mature
Okay, there's a big dude and he looks pissed coz we're late. I look sheepishly at the girl next to me, Aphrodite. She just confidently walks past they coach who rolls his eyes. 'Aphrodite, late. Looks like this year isn't going to be any different from any other year.' I shake my head, I still haven't figured out how to turn the mind reading thing off. 'New girl, late. What the hell is up with her hair? She doesn't look like the P.E type. Great.'
I look over to where the butterfly girl was standing and I started to walk over when the big dude stood in my way. "New girl. Do you know what lesson this is?" His voice is hard and his eyes icey. "My name's Elena, Coach." He raised his eyebrow. 'Great, another smart arse.' "I didn't ask for your name. This is P.E. Do you know what P.E is?" A few students giggled. I swallowed hard. "Sorry coach, but I can't remeber." The whole class (minuse a few) burst out laughing and I could feel my face grow hotter.
"If you don't know what P.E is then how do you know to call me coach?" "I can read minds." A smile plays on his lips. "Good. If you can read minds then you know what I've got planned for you, don't ya?" I nodded. He blow his whistle and my class mates got into there groups. 'You can come with us, mind reader.' I looked over at the butterfly girl, Mistle Thaw, smiled at her and then joined her group.
"Oh no." I whispeared. "What?" Mistle asked her big green eyes fullof wonder. I open my mouth to reply when the coach pulled me next to him so I was faceing the guy who told me to stay away from him. He looked at the students and they sat down on benches. I gave a worried look to Mistle, who gave me an incourageing nod. "One-on-one. Basketball." My heart leaped. Basketball! Ohmygod, I know how to play that game! "The one who loses will stay with me for dentension." "What if we draw?" Me and the cute guy said at once. "No one will draw, you play untill the first bell. If you're drawing then, keep playing."
The coach threw the ball at me, and I caught it perfectly. He blew his whistle. I looked at my opponent. 'I'll go easy for the first few minuets coz you don't know how to play but then you're on your own doll.' I start dribbling, totally in control. 'Times up.' I smile as he come at me.
I doge him (still dribbling) and run up to my basket. I do a perfect layup and get a swish "17's back!" I whispear under my breath. I turn around and my opponent's eyes are wide. 'Wow.' He's at the side line and starts to dribble, my marking is perfect. I snatch it off of him and shoot, getting another two points. I turn around again. Everyone is opened mouthed, partly because they thought I wouldn't remeber how to play and partly because no one, and I mean no one, has ever got the ball off of the cute dude - EVER!
I laugh. "C'mon then. Your ball, lets see if you can really beat 17." I can hear Mistle cheering at my sudden cockyness and at my skills.17, that was my number and that's what my team used to call me. Team? Who are they? I can't remeber! Stupid forgetfulness!

'Every day is like an open day,' says head Michael
Carslaw, something we can vouch for - our visit was just short of a
red carpet. St Andrew's provides an idyllic backdrop: medieval
walls, cathedral ruins and an in-your-face sea breeze. Girls and
boys thrive and the IB is flourishing too (an average of 33 points
last year), with five new subjects on offer. There's a tangible
belief that an international outlook is the future: there are 20
pupil nationalities here and, destination-wise, American
universities are in vogue - last year, Brown, Harvard and Princeton
were all mightily impressed by what they saw.
Boarding is 'full to overflowing', says Dr Carslaw, and a £2m
refurb is under way. The girls' house enlisted the help of an
interior designer and the results include toile
de Jouy curtains designed by the pupils. Golf is ace, as you'd
expect when there are seven courses on your
doorstep, and a programme of professional tuition has upped the
stakes. Lacrosse has celebrated its 125th anniversary (the
country's first-ever game was played here), and one sixth-form girl
joined the Scotland U19s at the World Cup. The junior school has
welcomed a new head from Highfield School in Hampshire, and a
revamped curriculum means the IB ethos kicks in at Year 1. And
don't forget your bucket and spade for that end-of-year sandcastle

Well, that settles that then, hm?
I've seen this sort of thing before from other, more 'maverick' physicists. Not sure yet why Stephen Hawking is going this route. Maybe he doesn't really mean "nothing" by "nothing", and is actually positing an eternally existent universe with gravitational laws? That would be more consonant with philosophical naturalism (whether atheistic or otherwise), and I've been expecting physicists to go that route again eventually.
I could respect that a lot more than invoking non-existent properties to explain the creation of systems which, once the system exists, exhibit those properties as a function of their existence. That just sounds desperate.
(His grasp of fine-tuning arguments, as reported in the article, seems vastly weak as well. But maybe he was mis-reported.)
Anyone wanting to post a link to a far more substantial statement from Dr. Hawking on this, is welcome to do so.

My intial reactions were much the same as yours. All I've been able to establish since is that he believes in a multiverse, so I suppose by "from nothing" he really doesn't mean nothing but rather from out of another universe or something.
- Crude said...
A multiverse and a universe coming into existence "from nothing" are not mutually exclusive options. So I'm going to go against the grain here - Hawking really does mean the universe came into existence from nothing. Not some pre-existing universe. He's said as much explicitly in the past.
Vilenkin took a similar tack to Hawking in his book, though he noted that what he was saying - that the laws of nature somehow pre-existed the physical universe - didn't seem to make any sense. He briefly touched on conceptualism, or toyed with the idea that natural laws are something more than we think of them as.
That said, I suspect that Hawking is doing something he's always done, but which people rarely comment on - he's engaging in some shameless self-promotion and little more. This is coming right on the tails of him talking about how we should be worried aliens may find earth and enslave us or such.
- Metacrock said...
I used to have a quote from a NASA physicist named Sten Odenwald, (now does Astronomy Cafe--a site on then net) to the effect that when physicists say "nothing" they really vacuum flux. So that may be what they mean. That QM particles were the "nothing" and produced a universe by generating more of themselves.
I've seen other theories where they describe the process of as "nothing breaking down and becoming something." Odenwald himself says this in describing his own theory. I think what they mean by that is that somehow these pre existing particles began producing more of them selves and grouping up into atoms and then molecules.
- Jason Pratt said...
I know what you mean by physicists talking about vacuum flux yet calling it 'nothing' even though they don't really mean nothing.
I have also, however, seen proponents of the vacuum flux theory (which only obtains where there is a vacuum between objects, whether between subatomic particles or whatever) explicitly say elsewhere that by 'nothing' they mean 'not even a vacuum'.
It's when they do things like that, that I have to call it convenient (or maybe desperate) double-talk. An eternal universe or the generation of the universe from a substantially different and more fundamental reality (which would be naturalism or supernaturalism respectively!) wouldn't bother me either way--so far as those propositions go.
I wouldn't agree with philosophical naturalism (whether theistic or atheistic) when pressed on various details; nor with supernaturalistic atheism on some similar grounds. But I can respect either one a lot more than the sort of thing that Dr. Hawkins seems to be saying currently.
(I'll hold out hope that he really means something else, though, until and unless I see more clarification otherwise.)
- Joel said...
It seems to me that he's just proposing a variation on the multiverse hypothesis. Which is nothing new or particularly radical.
- Crude said...
I also wonder if Hawking is saying that "God is not needed to explain our universe" in part because he subscribes to a multiverse theory - so the "multiverse" would explain our particular "universe" as being part of one of many others - while at the same time admitting that the universe literally came out of nothing.
Again, Vilenkin spoke of this, and even had admits there's a problem with that. I'd suggest William Lane Craig's review of Vilenkin's book over at Reasonablefaith to get a better grip on that.
Regardless, Hawking is full of hot air. Masterful at promoting himself, though.
- mattghg said...
Paul Davies'
review in the Guardian is quite informative. It seems that "nothing" doesnt' really mean "nothing".
- Layman said...
I have learned one thing from all this. Davies is a better writer than Hawking.
- mattghg said...
Definitely. And you're welcome.

The Public City: The Political Construction of Urban Life in San Francisco, 1850 1900

Oktober 1994
BeschreibungThe history of San Francisco from 1850 through 1900 identifies the active participation of citizens in communication, persuasion, and mobilization as the "public city", the site of American political and social change. Nineteenth-century Americans relied on the Roman and Enlightenment models of the "public sphere" as a forum for debate and self-government. Drawing on speeches, pamphlets, newspapers, and census and electoral data, the book reinterprets the city's turbulent history. Challenging decades of scholarship that treats urban politics as the expression of social-group experience and power, the author develops the opposite thesis that social-group identities of race, class, ethnicity, and gender were politically constructed in the public sphere in the process of mobilization and journalistic discourse. New methods of political mobilization unleashed by the Civil War resulted in the death of republican liberalism and birth of pluralist liberalism, and in the transformation from a political conception of society to a social conception of politics in the years from 1850 to 1900.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface; Introduction: The public city: American political culture in nineteenth-century San Francisco; 1. The agony of authority: people, public, party, and power, 1849-1859; 2. Republican terror: the origins of vigilante movements of 1851 and 1856; 3. Though the heavens fall: the vigilante movement culture of 1856; 4. Race and reaction: civil war political mobilization; 5. The postwar reconstruction of the urban public sphere; 6. A language of politics in a politics of class: the workingmen's party of California and the twilight of republicanism; 7. The institutional preconditions of progressivism; 8. Progressivism as the politics of needs: the mobilization of group identities; Conclusion; Appendix; Tables; Bibliography.
Pressestimmen"An impressive work based upon extensive research in qualitative and quantitative sources, the book successfully engages a variety of complex interpretative issues at a high level of sophistication. The author's forcefully presented arguments and his provocative conclusions will stimulate discussion and debate. The Public City is required reading for every historian interested in urban history, California history, and the history of American politics in the nineteenth century." Pacific Historical Review "This ambitious work deserves close attention from urban historians, political historians, and political scientists...[T]he questions it asks, the wealth of information it presents on a crucial period for urban political development, and the ways in which it reframes the urban political contest opens the way for a renewed debate on urban politics that has been mired too long in bosses versus reformers and the social-group paradigm of political development. Ethington is to be congratulated for his achievements here." Maureen A. Flanagan, Michigan State University, on the Internet "The book is well grounded in the sources, including election data, and it is especially suggestive in integrating developments in the realms of gender and news media into the overall analysis. The author writes clearly ... the book is an essential addition for all upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections in American, western, and urban history." D.F. Choice "Practically every page presents some new insight or challenges some accepted interpretation...this is required reading for everyone interested in American politics in the latter half of the nineteenth century." Robert W. Cherny, American Historical Review "Philip Ethington has given us an important and provocative study of the changing political culture of early San Francisco and, more generally, of nineteenth-century urban America...'The Public City' is a book that needs to be reckoned with. It makes an important argument for the primacy of political culture. It highlights the discursive role of institutions such as the press in linking and shaping state/civil society relations. It effortlessly blends qualitative and quantitative approaches. And it deepens our understanding of early San Francisco political history. These are no small achievements." Steven Erie, Nevada Historical Society Quarterly "An impressive work based upon extensive research...the book successfully engages a variety of complex interprative issues at a high level of sophistication...his provocative conclusions will stimulate discussion and debate." William Issel, Pacific Historic Review

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › question about my 3 season layering options
@engine386Locale: Central Florida
I'm trying to finish my clothing options for 3 season in N.C./TN area. I'm looking to buy an insulating jacket…Please tell me if this sounds good
-From inner to outer-
Merino 1 shirt
Patagonia sun hoody or R1 pullover depending on season
Houdini wind jacket
montbell ul down inner jacket
golite poncho for rain
I'm worried that the MB jacket won't hold up due to the abrasion/wear from my pack(zpack exo, if it matters), since it will be the outer layer. Is this something I should be worried about ?
also, I get pretty hot when hiking, so is it possible that I wouldnt need the MB jacket while hiking, just in camp or early mornings?
Thanks, Eric
@hamsterfishLocale: San Jose, CA
In temps down to the low 30's, I find a base layer, R1 and windshirt are more than ample while on the move.
I only use the MB jacket in camp. Especially since sweat will reduce the fluffyness of the down.
And yes, I said fluffyness.
I can't imagine hiking in a down jacket unless it was seriously cold…I'd overheat big time and suspect most are similar. If moving, I'm fine in base layer + wind jacket down to 20 or so. I just use my down pullover for around camp/sleep.
@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
I definitely recommend AGAINST hiking in the Montbell. Great gear, but not durable enough and too hot.
+1 on the above layering advice, as well. When moving, less is needed (unless you're in COOOOOOOLD temps).
@engine386Locale: Central Florida
Thank you for confirming what I was thinking…. It looks like that part of my gear should be set, as it follows along with your advice.
Great wealth of info here, thanks
Your system should work perfectly, now you'll just have to play with it enough to learn how it is perfect ;)
I use the same basic setup for my three season list here in the desert, granted here the "three" seasons are fall, winter, spring!

O'Donnell, Tom
Current Research
I am currently working under the supervision of Dr William MacLehose on ideas surrounding fosterage in medieval Ireland.
The practice of fosterage was widespread among the nobility of Ireland, referenced in some of the earlier written sources and extending into the sixteenth century with Elizabethan writers such as Edmund Spenser and John Davies railing against the custom. My work concentrates on child-rearing in and around the twelfth century both secular fosterage and the practice of oblation, a practice rendered by Peter Parkes as "ecclesiastical fosterage". Over the course of the twelfth and thirteenth century Irish society was disrupted by the Anglo-Norman invasion and the widespread church reform that formed the spurious justification for it. Not only this but the twelfth century was the time in which the great Arabic medical treatises were being translated into Latin, giving the West access once to the Greek medical and philosophical tradition preserved therein.
I hope that by examining fosterage, and the associated acts of conception and parturition, in this light of social reform and expanding intellectual horizons I can presented a more fully articulated view of fosterage in Ireland. For fosterage was both a central cultural institution and a way in which to conceive of family bonds and interpersonal relationships in this transitory period of European history.
Previous Academic Work
I received my MPhil. in Celtic Studies from the University of Oxford in 2011 with my thesis 'The Construction of the Female Body and Womanhood in the Middle Irish Preface to Cáin Adomnáin'. I have published a brief work-in-progress paper based on this material in the MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities in 2010, which can be accessed here. Before this I received my BA in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from the University of Cambridge in 2008.

|Release date
|4 October 2005 (Update)
|Combat level
|Always drops
|This is going to hurt ...
TzTok-Jad, commonly called Jad for short, is the fourth strongest monster in Gielinor after the Corporeal Beast, Zulrah, and Great olm. With a combat level of 702, TzTok-Jad has a max hit of 98 Hitpoints of damage and it can easily kill most players in one hit with any of its three attacks: a Melee attack with its huge claws, a blast of Magic in the form of a fireball, and an avalanche of boulders falling from the ceiling as a Ranged attack. To add to the challenge, players must fight TzTok-Jad solo without being able to restock on supplies from the previous waves.
Players can pay 100 slayer reward points to have Duradel or Nieve assign TzHaar as a slayer assignment. When players have TzHaar as a slayer task, they will be prompted with an option to be assigned 1 TzTok-Jad. Players who succeed in defeating it will receive 25,000 slayer experience.
Reaching TzTok-JadEdit
TzTok-Jad is the boss monster of the TzHaar Fight Cave minigame, so he is the last monster you will need to defeat, and he is encountered on Wave 63. This is the only place where Jad can be found. Although Jagex suggests that players take short breaks in between playing and encourages players not to spend large amounts of time on the game, battling your way to TzTok-Jad will almost always require 90 minutes of solid gameplay. Previously, logging out during the fight caused the minigame to end and forced players to restart. Now, you simply press the logout button once, and a notifcation will tell you the minigame will be paused at the end of the current wave. You can then logout and when you return, a new wave will begin. A player should not depend on this logging out break, however, because if he or she is at the later stages where he or she is fighting multiple deadly high levels (such as the Ket-Zek), the player generally spawns next to or on top of the monsters. Although the chatbox that opens upon logging back in stalls the monsters from spawning until clicking to continue (or by pressing spacebar).
Fighting TzTok-JadEdit
Once TzTok-Jad is reached, fighting and defeating him requires a lot of skill and decent reflexes with the mouse. It is possible to engage TzTok-Jad using Melee, but it requires skill to switch between the Protect from Melee, Protect from Missiles, and Protect from Magic prayers (recommended for players with much experience). TzTok-Jad uses all three types of combat styles to engage the player. Therefore, a combination of Ranged attacks and Prayer is usually preferred. A sharp eye and swift reflexes are necessary to stand any chance of defeating this monster.
TzTok-Jad will use either Magic or Ranged attacks to defeat a player that is not meleeing him. It is critical that players know the warning signs for these attacks and switch between the protection prayers accordingly before the attack lands:
- Melee: TzTok-Jad thrusts forward with a sharp bite without delay for those who choose to come close to melee him. (there is no time to pray)
- Magic: TzTok-Jad rears up on his hind legs and dangles his forward legs for a few seconds before launching a fireball from his mouth at the player.
- Ranged: TzTok-Jad rears up on his hind legs, then slams down his front legs onto the ground causing a boulder to fall on the player (in which it is not possible to evade this boulder by running).
All of TzTok-Jad's attacks can deal up to 97 damage meaning that one mistake and the fight could be over.
Monsters move east or west before moving north or south to reach you. This is very useful when trying to trap TzTok-Jad when it spawns.
Once TzTok-Jad is reduced to half health, he will summon four Yt-HurKots to come and heal him repeatedly - the player must deal with them whilst warding off TzTok-Jad's attacks. If they manage to heal him to full health, then they should not be killed as they will respawn once he is reduced to half health again. If they are distracted before healing him to full health, they will not respawn when killed.
- Please note: If you take the attention of the Yt-HurKots and they are hitting you, they WILL still heal Jad if they are close enough to him.
TzTok-Jad does not drop any items. Once players manage to beat this monster, however, they will be rewarded with the much-coveted Fire cape along with 8,032 Tokkul (Doubled if the player has completed the Elite tier of the Karamja Diary). The Fire cape is untradeable, so it is a very clear symbol to other players that the player has defeated this mighty foe. The fire cape, along with its cosmetically enhanced variant, the Fire max cape, are the only capes to have an animation.
There is also a 1/200 chance of receiving a Tzrek-jad pet upon defeating it. Players have a 1/100 chance at receiving the pet upon defeating TzTok-Jad if they are assigned to defeat it on a slayer task. In addition, players may exchange their fire capes by speaking to TzHaar-Mej-Jal for either an additional 8000 Tokkul or a 1/200 chance of obtaining TzRek-Jad.

This fabulous barn conversion is found in the peaceful village of Finsthwaite, close to the southern shores of Lake Windermere.
Laid out over 3 levels, The Property is a wonderfully homely place for families or larger groups to escape from the everyday rush. Sociable dining will be a breeze in the chic country kitchen, designed to make holiday living that little bit easier.
Wonderful countryside views will woo you in the wrap-around conservatory, on the patio and in the gardens, where your only audience will be the grazing livestock. Stroll up the road to High Dam, and discover a lesser-known beauty spot reserved for those who know. On a rainy day, try your hand at table tennis or darts in the garage!
Accommodation in detail
Private parking for 2 cars, plus garage with table tennis and darts. Entrance hall with polished wooden floor. White/pine kitchen with double oven and dining area. Useful storeroom plus cloakroom/WC. Upstairs to the first floor living room with 42" TV & WiFi, open fire and access to the scenic wrap-around conservatory. First floor access to a gravel patio with BBQ. First floor double bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs to 3 further bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twins, all with washbasins. Luxury house bathroom with separate power shower.
Lakeside is renowned as a peaceful Lake District holiday destination, nestled around the southern tip of Lake Windermere and away from the hustle bustle of the busier areas. But despite this, you'll find a wealth of things to see and do within easy reach - whatever your holiday tastes. Windermere Lake Cruises depart from Lakeside Pier, and ferry passengers the full length of Lake Windermere to Bowness and Ambleside - a wonderfully stress-free way to explore.
You'll find plenty of walking routes in the area; including Alfred Wainwright's Finsthwaite Heights route from Newby Bridge (adjacent to Lakeside). Also at Lakeside are two popular Lake District family attractions - the Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Lake District historic sites such as Holker Hall and Gardens, Cartmel Priory, Stott Park Bobbin Mill, Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall are all within easy reach by car, with no need to navigate through busy tourist areas.
To your north west, you'll approach Esthwaite Water and the landscapes that famously inspired the children's author Beatrix Potter. Her former home can be visited at Hill Top, in the small village of Near Sawrey. Only a mile or so further, and you'll reach Hawkshead village - a wonderful place to while away a day, exploring quaint cobbled streets and a blissfully car-free village centre.
Standard check-in is 4pm and standard check-out is normally 10am on your day of departure. In some cases these times vary. Always check your booking confirmation paperwork for correct timings or ask your local agent.
A maximum of 2 pets are welcome at this property. Typically pet charges apply but please contact the office for details.
The rural county of Cumbria is one of the most attractive in England. It contains the whole of the area known as the Lake District, as well as the northern part of the Pennines mountain range and, somewhat counter-intuitively, a part of the Yorkshire Dales.
The county is replete with attractions for the visitor, its historic heritage ranging from houses and gardens to stone circles and activities ranging from walking and climbing to watersports and fishing. Cumbria's lakes, valleys and fells can loosely be broken down into eight areas.
The North Lakes are the most popular with the serious outdoor enthusiast and the South Lakes draw most of the holidaymakers. The Western Lakes are less busy but still hold some varied attractions and appeal to the walkers as well as families and groups. They are home to England's tallest mountain, known as Scafell Pike.
East Lakes has its quota of mountains too, including the well-known Helvellyn, and is a fairly quiet area. Visit the Eden Valley and North Pennine area for wilderness, castles and rural villages, or perhaps consider North and South Cumbria. In the former we find Hadrian's Wall and the city of Carlisle. In the latter, coastal resorts and the biggest town, Kendal. Finally, the edge of the Yorkshire Dales is a beautiful part of Cumbria with country pubs, easy walking, and a thriving arts scene.
Feefo is an independent feedback service used by Scotts Castle Holidays to give you an opportunity to see how other guests feel about this property.
Changeover Day: Friday
Please choose a changeover day as your start date.
* A security bond (GHD) may be payable 7 days prior to your holiday start date and refunded following your departure.

Thefts of hazardous materials from failed states and the spread of explosives technology around the world mean terrorists are more capable of making such a device, a major new report launched by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith warned.
The document, Contest Two, is an official assessment of the danger Britain faces from terrorist groups and how it will change in future.
It questions whether al Qaida will survive as a unified group and warns future attacks are more likely to come from smaller groups with access to new technology.
The report also warns terrorists have created new explosives and new ways of using them, and that technology developed in conflict zones is quickly shared around the world.
The report said: "Contemporary terrorist organisations aspire to use chemical, biological, radiological and even nuclear weapons. Changing technology and the theft and smuggling of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) materials make this aspiration more realistic than it may have been in the recent past."
Quizzed on whether the risk from CBRNE attacks had increased in the last five years, Ms Smith said: "There is the potential, given the international situation, what we believe to be the aspirations of some international terrorists, that it could be. Failed states, conflict, technology - both in terms of the ability to use materials and the ability to learn about how materials are used - contribute to our concern about that as a threat, including what we know about what terrorists may have previously planned to do and may be planning to do."
Government moves, as part of its anti-terror strategy, to train 60,000 front line staff working in areas that could be targeted by terrorists were challenged by the Tories.
Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said the course was "very insubstantial" as it was voluntary, and lasted three hours "including the coffee break". "I do not see how we can train those people properly in dealing with terrorism in less than half the time allocated to a cycling proficiency course," he said.
The Government is also funding an "extensive programme" of scientific research to develop ways of tackling explosives containing hazardous materials, the document stated.
