 Hope and change

"Remember that your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. This may leave you an opening to become his friend."

-- Robert A. Heinlein

Several more years ago than polite society bears naming, the Incomparable Marge attended a workshop in "Basic Problem Solving" sponsored by her then-employer, a/k/a The Bank. It was a seminar similar to the one disseminated by TOF himself, though The Bank hired a lesser firm, alas. Had they hired TOF's firm, it would have been TOF's one chance to teach the Marge a thing or two. Oh well. Bon chance.

One of the topics in basic problem solving is that people often resist the solution, even to problems they themselves wish solved. That is because solutions by their nature change something, and change inevitably creates anxiety.

So on the second day of the class, the Marge comes to the training room and finds that the books and table-tents have all been moved around. "Tsk," says she to herself. "The cleaning people have gotten the seating all messed up." And so she picks up her book and table tent and is proceeding to her original seat when she notices the two instructors watching from the back of the room. People resist change? Even so trivial a change as a seating arrangement. And so she returned whither her materials had been shifted, and she took to watching the others as they arrived. A little more than half the students insisted on moving back to "their" seats -- seats that had been "theirs" for but a single day.

Imagine the sort of resistance you get when the change is to something in which people have invested ego, like a scientific theory!

TOF in his own seminars used a game -- "The Pony" -- in which students were read a story about two farmers selling a pony back and forth and asked to reach an answer off the tops of their heads which farmer made a profit and how much. Grouped according to the answers they had given, each group was told to develop an argument why their answer was right. Then a spokesman for each group presented its argument to the other groups. Seldom were these arguments sufficiently persuasive to induce people to change groups. In astonishing shows of solidarity, once people were in a group, they showed an odd reluctance to leave it. And these were groups that had existed for but minutes. How much stronger are the bonds for groups like "Production" and "Maintenance" or "France" and "Germany" or "Islam" and "Christendom"?

 Mwah-ha-ha

THIS IS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND for your stories -- and one aspect to thickening your characters. Stories usually involve change of some sort, and your characters will react to it in various ways. A new strategy, a modified product, an altered organization structure, a fresh idea. It need not be earth-shattering -- though in SF it sometimes is, literally! -- and may even be downright mundane, at least to outsiders. A trap for the writer is to stereotype those whose attitudes toward the change are contrary to the author's own. It is a failure of imagination to suppose that these characters can be motivated by no more than sheer mustache-twirling villainy.

Similarly, it is a mistake to suppose that everyone on the same side of a change is there for the same reasons.

"The Blood Upon the Rose" is a 2100-word short story. It appeared first in Analog (Feb 1991) then in the collection The Nanotech Chronicles. Later it was pirated by a German agent who had gone rogue and sold his clients' stories without the ugly necessity of actually paying the clients. It appeared without payment in the Heyne Verlag collection Lenins Zahn und Stalins Tränen.

The story is set futureward of "Werehouse," which we showcased here a while back. (Hence, the reference, "...people became animals...") Even so there is a quaint reference to "...make the videotape..." The United States at this time is under the control of an ecumenical heresy symbolized by the "star-cross-and-crescent" and everyone is being ecumenically persecuted, proving that the enemy of my enemy may be simply one more enemy. Hence, the odd laundry list of offenses and defiances.

The intent was to tell the story after the manner a fable, so the narrator and the two characters speak in high language. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:m_francis:332802 Today is the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas 2015-01-28T23:50:40Z 2015-01-28T23:50:40Z Say something logical today in his honor.

Things tend to get noticed only when Americans or perhaps other Westerners get affected. ISIS had killed over 2000 Syrians in the six months prior to executing a Western Journalist and no one in the West seemed to notice. Recently the Kingdom sentenced a man to 1000 lashes for running a liberal website. The site did not even defame Islam. He is unlikely to survive that many lashes. Yet there was the Saudi representative marching in Paris shoulder-to-shoulder with Putin's guy and others in support of freedom of speech. You can cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

 Top panel of three, see first link. Year axis in on bottom panel.

The suggestion has been made that predictions made by scientific studies be checked against Actual Results in what TOF joshingly refers to as "The Real World™." A band of intrepid researchers have compared the actual rates of glioma to the rates expected by the seminal Swedish study linking them to cell phone use. The graph to the right covers non-Hispanic white males from 1992/97 to 2008. Corrections were made for the delay of onset. The results are discussed less dauntingly here.

As we can see, the rate of gliomas has remained essentially unchanged even while cell phone use was skyrocketing. The exponential curve is where we would expect to find glioma rates if we took the predictions of the Swedish study as, well, predictions. What a notion!

TOF first ran across the notion of humans in America prior to the American Indians in a fiction! It was "Beringia," a 1990 story by Poul Anderson in his Time Patrol book The Shield of Time. It follows Wanda Tamberly, a time patrolman who has been studying this pre-Indian people (and has grown attached to them) when a band of Indians finds its way across the Bering Land Bridge. They bully the indigenous people (because they can. They are technologically more advanced.) But even when they don't, they over-awe the natives. But they also fear the native's powers of magic. After all, they are in their country and feeling very insecure, having fled their own land. Everything hits the fan, there are causal loops, and the time patrolman has to salvage her own reputation, too.

Here's a Secular Alternative to the Ten Commandments
Lex Bayer and John Figdor (Time Magazine, Dec. 21, 2014)

"Pics or it didn't happen," the mantra of the Snapchat generation, is a simple but profound reflection of how we think.

The fact that the authors consider this to be a "profound reflection" bodes ill for how the authors think. There are no "pics" for a great many things, including the rest of their article, so they appear willing not only to toss out most of history but also to overlook such things as Photoshop. There are not many "pics" of Hannibal and his elephants; but otoh a local restaurant had "pics" on its walls of white-bearded farmers standing beside ears of corn as tall as they or pumpkins the size of a farm wagon. That is:

No "pics" but it did happen; and

"Pics" but it did not happen.

What the slogan does reflect is our tendency to demand evidence only for that of which we are personally incredulous.

So here are the Ten Secular Commandments, as detailed in Time, formerly a news magazine.

 Do not get this man mad at you.

While browsing the web the other day on the TOFian Geburtstag, we revisited the delightful Underground Grammarian (left), who is no less delightful for being dead. His works can be found for downloading and also for reading.

It was in his collection Less Than Words Can Say that TOF found his discussion of "The Two Tribes" and the distinction between the snakes made of flesh and bone and the snakes made of discourse that so wonderfully informed his classic post "Adam and Eve and Ted and Alice."

So for today mot justes,we will quote from his 1978 collection The Leaning Tower of Babel and his discussion of what was then only a possibility: the creation of a federal department of education. First, the Underground Grammarian cites a passage in a report from what was then the Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW)

The findings suggest that psychosexuality constructs of agency/communion can be meaningfully operationalized to reflect the degree of psychosexuality integration, with different modes of manifestations and different correlates of interpersonal behavior associated with various levels on the integration continuum.

Chasing the Phoenix

by  Michael Swanwick
Tor Books, 2015
TOF is unsure of the publication date for this gem, he read it in prepublication proofs. The web says August 2015. However, Faithful Reader ought to reserve a copy as soon as he, she, or it is able. Everything in this noble novel works -- from Surplus, the genetically-engineered dog, to the Hidden King who wants to reunite a a far-future, post-tech China, to even the office-names of supporting characters. (One general is named Powerful Locomotive.) The dialogue is entertaining, the plot twists clever and supple, the narrative voice perfectly tuned, and the whole story suffused with sly Swanwickian humor.

There seems more than a touch of R. A. Lafferty in the thing, for those whose tastes run in that direction.

Along the way, it got tightened, rewritten, re-ended. The version posted here at the STORY PREVIEW PAGE is like rev.5 or something. It is, however, substantially the same story of 1989.

On this day in 627, the Roman Empire in the East finally broke the power of the Persian Empire after more than seven centuries of nearly constant conflict—the longest, and therefore most profitable, war in human history. It was the greatest triumph of the Roman Empire, and it lasted for about half an hour, after which the Caliphate obliterated Persia and reduced the Roman Empire to a state about the size of Delaware.

Daniel Joseph Flynn goes to Phillipsburg

 Daniel Joseph Flynn
(1871-1944)

This account is based on sundry documents in hand and on a transcript of a conversation with Francis Joseph Flynn, Sr (Pop-pop), May, 1976. At the time of the recording, he was 76 years old and was talking about when he was a kid. Those who remember him are welcome to supply his vocal mannerisms and to make metronomic hand-chopping gestures as they read his words.

After John Thomas Flynn was crushed in the railroad repair yards in Washington NJ in 1881, his oldest boys, Martin (12) and Daniel (10) had to go to work to support the family. According to TOF's grandfather, they would hop the freight train when it slowed down through the Yards and ride it through the tunnel to Oxford Furnace, where they worked in the Nail Mill. In the interview taped in May 1976, Pop-pop remembered:

 Oxford Furnace, late 1800s

"My dad first worked... he worked in Oxford. They made steel, or rather iron. They cooked up the ore and made ingots, pig iron, until that ore played out. It was the Oxford Iron Mills."

The Merriam Shoe Co. had relocated from New York City to Newton NJ in 1873, and "attracted to the novelty, townsfolk peered inside and wondered at the mechanical wizardry of the modern factory system." Modern, indeed. A steam engine powered the belts that moved the machines. The Sussex Register thought that "the only question that remains to be settled is, will Mr. Merriam be seconded in his efforts by a competent corps of women and children from this county, who are willing to become his employees?" This was just in time for Martin and Daniel to become two of those children, for in...

When TOF was a TOFling, it was the practice of Haus Flynn to set one's shoes outside the bedroom door in order to collect goodies left there by Good St. Nick. Later, after there were too many shoes cluttering up the hallway, this took the form of socks hung under the mantlepiece. TOF's maternal relatives, by which he means virtually the entire neighborhood where he grew up, were German and therefore hip to the good Sankt Nikolas, since elided via niederländisch to Santa Claus.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus; although the Santa Claus of the popular imagination could be accused of identity theft:

It is never too clear of what this offense consists but, like Potter Stewart's obscenity, "you know it when you see it." Of course, "seeing it" is always after-the-fact, which means those accused seldom know they are doing it until the after accusation is itself leveled. This induces a level of terror in the intended targets. At least the old heresy hunters, Chesterton once pointed out, went to great pains beforehand to spell out exactly what the heresies consisted of.

The targets of opportunity in this case, at least those mentioned in the linked article, are liberal professors, so we are evidently in the phase of the Revolution when the Revolution begins to eat itself and Robespierre goes to the guillotine. Perhaps it is because liberal professors are so accustomed to apologize at the drop of a hat that it is easier to terrorize them.

Take the first example.

Trying for a baby! need some advice!
Hi there,
Never used a site like this before but needed some advice so I thought I'd give it a go 😊
My fiance and I are trying for a baby, although we arnt actively trying everyday - I try and pin point when the best time to have sex is.. we only have sex about once a week as he has just got a new job with crazy hours.
I have a 30 day cycle & this month on day 14 we had intercourse.. The on day 16, I had a horrible pain in my left ovary, followed by a tiny drip of blood on the toilet paper when I wiped (I researched this and apparently it's called ovulation bleeding but I've never had it before in my life) it's now day 25 and I'm extremely tired. Yesterday I napped all day aswell and was very out of it. It was my brothers birthday on the weekend, I had two wines.. and I woke up the next morning extremely nauseous.. and I'm not an easy drunk so this was a bit strange.
Just wondering if anyone has a similar cycle to me and ended up pregnant.. I feel a bit funny and seem to be having heaps of hot flushes but I don't know if it's all in my head!
Thanks 😊😊

Dear monique,
Welcome to our forum! We are pleased to have you join us here.
Thank you for your post. If you do experience any further pain in your ovary which concerns you then I would see your doctor.
In terms of determining when is best to have sex when you are trying to conceive, many couples on this forum find ovulation tracking kits helpful.
One of our moderators, Kate, has written a very informative post about the signs of fertility. Kate writes:
'The day before and the day of ovulation, your cervical mucus will be clear and wet and it will have the consistency of egg white. You will be able to pick it up and stretch it between your thumb and fore finger and it may not break even if you stretch it 6 inches. This is when you are at your peak of fertility and sex at this time gives you the best chance of conception.'
Most women ovulate 14 days before the start of the next cycle. This would be around day 16 for you. However, sperm can live in a woman's body for up to 3-5 days so it would certainly be possible for you to conceive on day 16 if you had sex on day 14 of your cycle.
Being very tired is an indicator of early pregnancy, as is feeling sick.
I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, but the recommended advice is not to drink alcohol when you are trying for a baby or pregnant (because if you are trying for a baby then you may be pregnant without yet knowing it). It's also best to start taking your folic acid supplements when you are trying to conceive. This protects against neural tube defects in the baby (the spinal cord is formed in the baby quite early in pregnancy).
Wishing you all the best with conceiving.
Please keep us informed and let us know if we can answer any further questions.
Warm wishes,

Hypoxia up-regulated protein 1, also known as 150 kDa oxygen-regulated protein, 170 kDa glucose-regulated protein, ORP-150, GRP-170 and HYOU1, is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family. Seven members from four different heat shock protein (HSP) families were identified including HYOU1 (ORP150), HSPC1 (HSP86), HSPA5 (Bip), HSPD1 (HSP60), and several isoforms of the two testis-specific HSP70 chaperones HSPA2 and HSPA1L. HYOU1 is highly expressed in tissues that contain well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and synthesize large amounts of secretory proteins. It is highly expressed in liver and pancreas. HYOU1 is also expressed in macrophages within aortic atherosclerotic plaques, and in breast cancers. HYOU1 has a pivotal role in cytoprotective cellular mechanisms triggered by oxygen deprivation. It may play a role as a molecular chaperone and participate in protein folding. Suppression of HYOU1 is associated with accelerated apoptosis. It is suggested to have an important cytoprotective role in hypoxia-induced cellular perturbation. This protein has been shown to be up-regulated in tumors, especially in breast tumors, and thus it is associated with tumor invasiveness.

I have had at least three instances since August in which I wrote to Onelist with serious questions which were not answered. In one case I received no reply at all. In another I received a form "thank you for your question" response but never an answer to the question. In another instance, after my second email I received a reply from Shana that did not answer my question. So I called. I was very unhappy with her attitude and with the fact that my concerns were not resolved. I wrote and asked for the telephone number of the administrative offices. I was given the number for support instead. I finally received the correct number via email from Shana. Lastly, I had a very serious situation with harassment and abuse that was so poorly handled by Onelist that there is no way I could recommend Onelist to anyone, and I am looking for another service.

The roll that carried the Pittsburgh Steelers from adrift at midseason to the cusp of the Super Bowl came to a sudden and emphatic stop in New England.
The pain of the one-sided 36-17 loss to Tom Brady and the Patriots will linger. The Steelers need to find a way to take the next step in what has become a methodical march back to prominence.
Two winters ago, Pittsburgh's season ended in the wild card game. Last January, it was the divisional round. On Sunday, it came in the AFC title game. That's very real, tangible progress. It's also not enough for a franchise whose only real measure of success lies in Lombardi trophies collected.
"It's disappointing that we...

Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has a sprained throwing shoulder. Running back Trent Richardson departed Denver on Sunday with a foot in a walking boot. But head coach Pat Shurmur didn't close the door on either player giving it a go this Sunday versus the Steelers. Shurmur didn't say anything about Weeden's status other than to confirm that he has a sprained right shoulder. All he would say about Richardson is that his ankle isn't broken and "we haven't finished up the evaluation."
Fantasy Analysis:
Given the nature of Weeden's injury and the beating that Richardson's body has taken this season, it would be nothing short of outrageous if either player was active for Week 17. Expect quarterback Colt McCoy and running back Montario Hardesty to take over.
Concerning next season, Weeden is off the fantasy radar in all but deep two-quarterback leagues. Richardson's season looks like a bit of a disappointment -- less than 1,000 yards rushing, averaged 3.6 yards per carry -- but he did catch 51 passes and scored a total of 12 touchdowns. The fact is Richardson was probably never healthy at any point of the season. On last week's injury report, Richardson was listed as probable with "chest/rib/finger," and now he has a sprained ankle. His running style will leave him open to more injuries, but a offseason of rest and learning and some upgrades to the Browns' offensive line should do wonders for him. At worst, he's a strong RB2 heading into 2013.

Chamber President/CEO to Retire
Chillicothe-Ross Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Marvin Jones announced he's retiring at the end of the year.
"I just felt that it was the right time for me to step down and let the chamber bring on somebody with some fresh ideas and some fresh enthusiam," said Jones.
During his 11 and a half years in the post, he was most proud of the Leader in Me program that was implemented within the Chillicothe City School District.
"The reception to that by the schools was just incredible, and the fact that chamber members have contributed more than $80,000 in the last four years to get this initiative going has been something else."
Jones expects the executive committee to meet in the near future to decide on seeking a replacement.

|If you put "lazy dying star" into google it gets confused, so instead here's a baby elephant imitating a lazy dying star
Yeah sometime in the last six months I had kind of a weird slow meltdown where I both figured out a bunch of stuff about myself and also began the process of imploding like a dying star, but slow like a lazy dying star, or a dying star that is sort of indifferent to going out in a blaze of cosmically-appropriate glory. Like a dying star that needs therapy. Apparently.
So I'm going to clean up the blog a bit and get rid of some shit I don't like. It's probably going to change course a bit. But if you've followed my blog at all (you know, forever ago), then you know I am horribly unreliable when it comes to sticking to one topic. It's the ADD. Consider it a gift. A surprise when you visit. You could get cookies! Or a fruitcake. Or a fruitcake made of poop.
You never know. EXCITING.

House Republicans today, in addition to voting on Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) so-called "Plan B" — which extends the Bush tax cuts on income up to $1 million — will also vote on a bill to replace the spending cuts scheduled for the end of the year.
As The Hill reported, the bill closely mirrors a measure passed by House Republicans in May known as the "The Sequester Replacement Reconciliation Act of 2012." (Here is the underlying legislation, which will include these minor tweaks.) That bill voids both the military spending cuts and domestic spending cuts set to take place in 2013 and replaces them with a host of cuts to domestic spending, including:

Hailing from Huntington, West Virginia, the six-piece band Ona makes pure-blooded American rock and roll. Set to release their debut LP, American Fiction, via Twin Cousins Records on 25 September, "Rocks in the Basement", the album's lead single, picks up the path forged by The Other Side of June, the band's 2014 two-song cassette. Named after an unincorporated West Virginia town best known for its racetrack and airfield, Ona conveys the insatiable urge to discover the larger world that resides along the east-west running Route 60.
Latest Blog Posts
The group will appear at a bunch of festivals, including Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Sasquatch, and will be headline a bunch of shows throughout the US.
A rather easygoing track, "Setting Sun", the newest tune by Swervedriver, features the band's familiar mix of shimmering and jagged guitars. The song is the lead single from I Wasn't Born to Lose You, the band's first album of new material since 99th Dream in 1998.
Having released the road-weary piece of Americana Paint Another Layer of My Heart this year, Caleb Caudle is no stranger to covers. Taking on "Lost in the Supermarket" by the Clash for Couch By Couchwest 2014, the New Orleans singer/songwriter recently recorded a song from fellow This Is American Music labelmates Fire Mountain. Deftly handling standout "Doing Fine" from Fire Mountain's All Dies Down, the song would not have been out of place on Caudle's Paint Another Layer on My Heart.
Meanwhile, the band is touring heavily throughout November and January.

Ovum reveals 2014 will be a year of innovation, disruption, and consolidation in mobile payments
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) London - Ovum expects continued technology and service innovation, notably around location-based applications, in the mobile payments space in 2014. However, there will be increasing complexity within the mobile payments ecosystem this year, and on-going challenges around the business model for digital wallet services.
According to the global analyst firm's forthcoming "2014 Trends to Watch" report* there are outstanding issues in most mature markets linked to low consumer uptake and usage of m-payment and digital wallet services. Consumers will lean most towards services associated with financial brands. This is supported by Ovum's Consumer Insights Survey**, which reveals that 43% of respondents chose banks as their most trusted m-payments service provider, followed by credit card companies (13%), online payment providers (9%) and then mobile operators (6%).
Eden Zoller, principal analyst with Ovum's Consumer Practice, says: "Overall revenue growth for mobile payments in 2014 will be slow and steady rather than spectacular, at least in mature markets. The different dynamics at work in emerging markets will make for stronger growth among unbanked users. We expect to see much consolidation in the digital wallets space in 2014. There has been an explosion in digital wallet launches over the last two years and this is not sustainable going forward. Consumers will not adopt multiple digital wallets and instead will focus their loyalty and spending with one or possibly two services. The best positioned will be those associated with the financial brands that consumers trust most and are familiar with. It is digital wallets of this kind that have the best chance of achieving scale, and also attracting the advertising dollars that are needed to bolster the business model".
Key predictions: o 2014 will not be the year that near-field communication (NFC) takes off - and neither will 2015. A growing number of alternative enabling technologies are readily available, and at lower cost to merchants and consumers.
o There is a chance that hosted card emulation (HCE) could help the case for NFC during 2014. HCE provides a cloud-based model for NFC that makes service provisioning much easier for issuers, developers, and other third parties. This has the potential to open the NFC market to more innovation and competition. However, this will happen only if the card schemes get behind HCE and security concerns are addressed.
o Bluetooth low energy (BLE) will come to the fore, bringing with it a proliferation in BLE beacon payment services and hyper-location retail applications. However, there is a danger that BLE beacon applications will be subject to hype that inflates what these types of application can deliver while obscuring their limitations.
o Location-based advertising will be a priority focus in 2014, but many service providers underestimate the challenges involved. Location-based advertising is rightly seen as promising because of the tangible benefits it offers to both retailers and consumers, but it is complex, and will become more so as location techniques and sources of data proliferate. At the same time, push-based location advertising has the potential to be very intrusive if not accurately targeted, and the need for precise targeting raises sensitive issues relating to data privacy.
o Although the mPOS market is here to stay, consolidation in this increasingly crowded, commoditized area is inevitable and will begin in earnest during 2014. Going forward, mPOS providers will need to achieve scale; this means addressing larger enterprises, where they will have to compete with traditional POS vendors. This will be particularly difficult for smaller mPOS providers - the weaker ones will disappear, and the more promising will be acquired.
o There will be a sharp rise in tablet-based mobile commerce in during 2014 and beyond. Consumer adoption of tablets is growing quickly, and their large screen size and enhanced graphics mean that they are better suited than smartphones to displaying and appreciating visual merchandise. As prefigured in the Ovum IAB survey of US brands, 2014 will also see more advertising spend on tablets: 75% of respondents said that they expect to see their use of tablets increase during 2014 and 2015.
o Over the last few years Apple has been putting in place the pieces that in 2014 will see it finally launch a fully-fledged, unified mobile payments platform. This will have a positive impact on consumer uptake and use of m-payments, but may have a negative impact on other players hoping to gain market dominance in the space.
o Amazon's big ambitions for mobile, and its reported acquisition of GoPago's mPOS technology, mean it will finish 2014 with a wider and deeper portfolio of m-payment services.

** Ovum's 2013 Consumer Insights Survey included 15,123 consumers across 15 countries.

Our group plays a different course each week throughout Central Florida and the pace of play here wreaked havoc on what could have been one of the most enjoyable tracks that we have played. All else equal I would still make the drive to play here again and again.

Vandals did some damage to 11th green....we also need some rain in CFL. I play here a lot, always enjoyable.

A good solid golf course. Pretty open off the tee. Front 9 is not too hard but the last 6 holes are very challenging. Good value. Play it from the tips for the full experience.
$46 (cart included), played on Sunday, January 2012 at 8am
Grass is green. Odd it looks easy but if one wanders out of the fairway, add a stroke!
$26 (cart included), played on Wednesday, January 2011 at 8am
This course is very playable. Fairways could be better but the unusually hot summer and dry , cold winter have taken a toll on all the local courses. This one is better than most.
$16 (cart included), played on Wednesday, July 2010 at 6pm
Not the best or most challenging course I've played but pretty good. Course has great twilight specials, which makes it a great value.

It is not every day that the New York Times editorial page quotes a Roman Catholic bishop approvingly. But, in an editorial this morning, the Times quotes Mobile Archbishop Thomas Rodi in backing his opposition to a new draconian anti-immigration law in Alabama. The archbishop has joined with other religious leaders in a lawsuit to block the law. Rodi said, "The law attacks our core understanding of what it means to be a church." And, so it does.
Let's hope that someone in the next GOP presidential candidate debates asks the candidates their position on the new law.

The Flower - Poem by R. K. Hart
I wandered though a deep dark moonlight night
My aim to seek and find a wondrous sight.
High and low I searched to find,
Was it high, low, or just behind.
I had searched many a garden bed in this old town,
But my prize was not yet to be found.
There were many a beautiful flower I would plead.
But never the one I would need.
There were those with whom one could make do,
There is no one that could measure up to you.
But You are the beauty of all flowers
I gaze on you for marvelous hours.
The creator does ask that we make do,
But wait till He asks we not act and rue.
But wait till that special flower He sends,
He asks we do nothing we may need make amends.
You'll know this wondrous being when presented,
Stars will sparkle and air will be scented.
But best of all, Explorer on loves quest,
Call your Savior, wait for Him to give you His best.

Trying to keep a floodgate closed is no easy task. Just ask any automaker releasing embargoed images of a new car coming out.

Re: plotting with dotted lines, not dashed
Hi Robert,
in version 7.0.1:
from the manual:
Dotted: Dotted is equivalent to Dashing[{0, Small}]:
Dashing: If a segment has a length Subscript[r, i] specified as 0, it is
drawn as a dot whose diameter is the thickness of the line.
hope this helps, Daniel

Old Saxon buck, Middle Dutch boc, Dutch bok, Old High German boc, German Bock, Old Norse bokkr), perhaps from a PIE root *bhugo (cf.

Week 7 on celebrity apprentice
If you missed week 7 of Celebrity Apprentice you missed the chance to see the real Gary Busey. He has turned out to be a real back stabber and a liar. It's to bad it took getting rid of Mark Magrath for Trump to see through Busey. Backbone would never lose if Busey would have been fired last week. There was a high "steaks" showdown on this week's "Celebrity Apprentice." On Sunday's episode of the NBC hit, the men's team took aim at Gary Busey. The actor was the losing project manager on a task to present a cooking demo featuring food from Omaha Steaks. After Gary's teammates voiced numerous complaints about the actor, Donald Trump lowered the axe. Busey's firing came after weeks of frustrations with the once Oscar-nominated actor from his teammates. Remaining Backbone competitors Meat Loaf, Lil Jon, and John Rich cited Busey's lack of organization, his eccentric style of communicating, and his failure to delegate as weaknesses. Rich added that at one point in the task, Busey referred to him as "Boy," a term he found insulting. In the boardroom, Busey claimed to have called John a "Cowboy."
The women fared better this week with project manager Hope Dworaczyk. The "Playboy" model surprised Trump by not only holding her own with her teammates, but by leading them to a win. The 26-year-old raised 20-thousand dollars for her charity Best Buddies in the process.
With week seven behind the celebrities, the pool of candidates is thinning out on a fourth season of "Celebrity Apprentice." The show airs on Sundays on NBC.

London paralyzed by fear, shock as businesses smolder
LONDON Despite promises from British Prime Minister David Cameron of an overwhelming police presence on the streets, many people here Tuesday remain fearful after three days of rioting has paralyzed this city.
In the north London neighborhood of Holloway, so far untouched by violence, shops were closing early and cellphone stores and banks were being barricaded with metal shutters in midafternoon.
Uniformed police officers, many in riot gear, were evident in many neighborhoods as police cars patrolled streets with sirens blaring.
VIDEO: Raw: London mayor heckled after riots
PHOTOS: Flames, broken glass, and coming together to clean it up
BLOG: Tourism at risk?
In the east London neighborhood of Hackney, one of the hardest hit in Monday night's violence, many shops remained closed. Drugstores, department stores and electronics shops were dark. Plywood boards covered broken windows of a betting parlor that was attacked by bands of rioters.
Hackney Town Hall was closed and a half-dozen uniformed bobbies stood watch in front of it. A line of police vans from south Wales, more than 100 miles away, idled nearby.
A wave of violence and looting has raged across London since Saturday, as authorities struggled to contain the country's worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.
The rioters appeared to have little unifying cause — though some claimed to oppose sharp government spending cuts, which will slash welfare payments and cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs through 2015.
Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess Tuesday and nearly tripled the number of police on the streets after the riots turned into a full-blown political crisis.
He described the scenes of burning buildings and smashed windows in London and several other British cities as "sickening," but refrained from more extreme measures such as calling in the military to help beleaguered police restore order.
Instead, he said 16,000 officers would be on the streets of the capital Tuesday night, almost tripling the number that were out Monday night.
"People should be in no doubt that we will do everything necessary to restore order to Britain's streets and to make them safe for the law-abiding," Cameron told reporters after rushing home from an Italian vacation to chair a crisis meeting at his Downing Street office.
About 525 arrests have been made in London alone and dozens were arrested in other cities. The riots also claimed their first death — a 26-year-old found shot dead in a car.
"Why was nothing done to stop them?" said teacher Julia Adegoke. "More force should have been used."
She said she had more confidence that police would be in control Tuesday night.
On Monday, groups of young people rampaged for a third straight night, setting buildings, vehicles and garbage dumps alight, looting stores and pelting police officers with bottles and fireworks into Tuesday's wee hours . The violence erupted in gritty suburbs along the capital's fringes to central London's posh Notting Hill neighborhood.
The spreading disorder was an unwelcome warning of the possibility of violence during London's 2012 Summer Olympics, less than a year away.
England's soccer match Wednesday against the Netherlands in London's Wembley stadium was canceled to free up police officers for riot duty.
Cameron said leaves have been canceled for police in London, and reinforcements have been called in from all over the country. Armored vehicles were deployed in some of the worst-hit districts, but authorities still struggled to keep pace with the chaos unfolding at flashpoints across London, in the central city of Birmingham, the western city of Bristol and the northwestern city of Liverpool.
Graham Reeves, 52, stood dumbstruck in front of the smoldering ruins of his family store, the House of Reeves on Croydon in south London. The store is a local landmark that had been run by his family for decades — he said his 80-year-old father was hysterical upon hearing the news.
"No one's stolen anything," Graham Reeves said. "They just burnt it down."
Pizza parlor worker Arun Selvam said he would not abandon his shift Tuesday afternoon but would stand close to his restaurant's fire exit.
"If anything happens, I'm out of here," he said.

The PS Vita library is growing by one more today with the announcement that Namco Bandai is working on Ridge Racer (working title) for the upcoming handheld. Scheduled to ship at end of 2011, Ridge Racer will again focus on the drifting mechanic, done so right in the PSP launch title, along with unspecified "new exciting new gameplay additions." Acting Director Hideo Teramoto of Cellius also worked on said PSP release, which bodes well for the Vita version.
To find out why Teramoto's presence is a reason to be excited, check out our review of Ridge Racer for the PSP.

Can someone help me with prime and composite numbers?
Prime numbers are counting numbers that can be divided evenly bt only two numbers:1 and themselves. A prime number can also be described as a counting number with exactly two factors, 1 and itself. So, 1 because it has only one factor ( itself), is not a prime number.Prime numbers to 100:2,3,5,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97
Composite numbers are all counting numbers that are not prime numbers. In other words , composite numbers are numbers that have more than two factors. Again the number 1, because it has only one factor (itself), is not a composite number.
ok true it think
* The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic states that every positive integer/number greater than 1 is either a prime or a composite, i.e. can be expressed as a unique product of primes and their exponents, in only one way.
* The number 1 is not considered a prime number, being more traditionally referred to as the unit.
Aristotle regarded the one as not being a number but rather the elemental measure of all numbers.
Euclid stated that a unit is that property of each and every thing in the universe that enables it to be called one, while a number can be considered a multitude of units.
* A prime number is a positive number "p", other than 1, that has only two positive divisors/factors, 1 and "p".
(The strict interpretation of this definition aids in supporting the statement that the number one is not a prime number as it literally has only one divisor/factor whereas a prime has two factors.)
Examples: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, etc., are all primes, being evenly divisible by only 1 and the number itself.
* A composite number is one that has 3 or more factors/divisors.
* A composite number is expressable as a unique product of prime numbers and their exponents, in only one way.
Examples: 210 = 2x3x5x7; 495 = 3^2x5x11.
* A prime factor of a number is a divisor/factor of the number which also happens to be a prime number. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36 but only 2 and 3 are prime factors.
* Any number that can be expressed as the product of two or more primes and their powers, i.e., ab, abc, ab^2c, ab^2c^3d^2, etc., where a, b, c and d are prime numbers, is composite.
* Any number greater than 1 that is not a prime number must be a composite number, and is the result of multiplying primes together.
Examples: 4, 6, 12, 24, 72, etc., are composite, each being divisible by lower prime numbers.
* Every number n > 1 is divisible by some prime.
* With the exception of the number 2, all prime numbers are odd numbers.
The number 2 is the only even prime, thereby making it the oddest prime.
* Two integers, a and b, are said to be relatively prime if their greatest common divisor is 1. Example: 7 and 12 are relatively prime as their g.c.d. is 1.
* Primes differing by 2 are called twin primes. Examples: 3-5, 5-7, 17-19, 1,000,000,009,649-1,000,000,009,651.
* There is only one set of triple primes - 3, 5, and 7.
How to Find Prime Numbers
The Sieve of Eratosthenes
Lets find the primes between 1 and 100.
Write down the sequence of numbers from 1 to 100.
Cross out the 1.
Beginning with the 2, strike out every second number beyond the 2, i.e., 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
Starting from the first remaining number, 3, cross out every third number beyond the 3, i.e., 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.
Starting from the first remaining number, 5, cross out every fifth number beyond the 5, i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.
Continue with the 7, crossing out every seventh number beyond the 7, i.e., 7, 14, 21, 28, etc.
Continue the process until you have reached N or 100.
The numbers remaining are the primes between 1 and 100, namely 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, and 97. By definition, all the others are composite numbers.
what is the largest number tou will have to check to find the prime number of 100

Exit State are a great rock band hailing from Lancashire, UK, and have been causing quite a stir on the underground scene for a little while. Death Of A Rockstar is their debut album, and what a debut it is. The band have been compared with the likes of Foo Fighters, Therapy?, and Nickelback, and where as I can see where the comparisons are coming from, Exit State have a sound of their own. Death Of A Rockstar see's the band combine elements of indie/rock and in places metal, to give them a great melodic but powerful sound.
All 9 songs here are of the highest quality, they're full of meaty riffs yet always seem to be melodically driven. Some of the stand out tracks (and I could list all 9 here!) include 'Lost Beyond Belief', which is to be featured on the soundtrack to the forthcoming motion picture Creepsville, 'Dominates Me', title tracks, 'Death Of A Rockstar' and 'Bad Days'.
Exit State seem to have
it all, and Death Of A Rockstar is a very impressive debut album.
I think the skies the limit for this excellent hard working rock band.
This album's scheduled for release 31st May 2010 via King Prawn Records and is very highly recommended.
Rating 10/10
