Have you been considering the use of an oil pen to help you reduce smoking? Many people today are switching from cigarettes to oil vaporizers, also known as e-cigarettes. VaporPlants is the place to find the perfect hookah pen to make the change yourself.
An oil vaporizer is a pen-shaped device that is used for thin oils and e-liquid. These consist of a mouthpiece, an area that you fill with oil, and a battery. When you hold down the button, the battery provides power to warm up a heating element. The heating element then heats oil until it reaches its point of vaporization. Then, it gives off a vapor that you can inhale through the mouthpiece.
When you're shopping for a vaporizer, you can purchase a model that is strictly an e-juice, or a multi-function model which can be used for oils and other materials, such as dry herbs, or waxy medicinal concentrates.
As you shop, you'll find that there are three types of heating chambers or tanks on the market today:
1. Atomizers - feature a heating coil surrounded by metal mesh. With an atomizer, you can drip liquid directly onto your vape to control the amount of vapor produced. Atomizers are usually the least expensive option, and they are very easy to refill. The downside is that you will need to refill an atomizer very frequently.
2. Cartomizers - have much of the same build as an atomizer except it includes a tank over the heating coil, and contains a polyfill material that absorbs oils. With cartomizer, you don't have to refill your pen as often; however, the tanks can wear out quickly and can retain the taste of old liquid when you switch flavors.
3. Clearomizers - consists of a clear tank, a heating coil, and a wick that delivers thin liquids to the heating element. Most people consider the clearomizer to be the best, because it is efficient, durable, and capable of holding a large amount of liquids. Typically, a clearomizer vape is more expensive than the other types mentioned above.
When you're shopping for an oil vape you may want to consider the following features:
a. Battery Life - length of the battery life will determine how how long you can vape before you need to recharge it.
b Size - different vape pen models vary in size. Smaller models may be easier to carry, but they also usually hold less and have shorter battery lives.
c. Appearance - all brands offer oil pens in a variety of styles. For example, many Atmos Vaporizers come in a 5-10 different of colors to suit every taste.
d. Charging Options - most vapor pens can be charged via USB. Some also either come with adapters for charging in a car or wall outlet or have accessories available for purchase separately that allow you to charge in some other ways.
e. Indicator Lights - some even feature colored lights that let you know when the battery needs to be charged, how much battery life remains, how hot the vape is, and even more.
Whether you have questions or need help deciding, you can count on our team here at VaporPlants.com to assist you. We can explain the features and help you decide. Contact us today for help with our collection. You can also check out our many vaporizer reviews and articles to learn more about the hookah pens that we carry.

The Inspector and Silence (Inspector Van Veeteren Series #5)by Håkan Nesser, Laurie Thompson (Translator)
It is summer in Sweden. A secretive and dubious religious sect comes under investigation when a girl on the cusp of adolescence is found dead in the forest near the sect's holiday camp, brutally raped and strangled. Inspector Van Veeteren and the other detectives/b>/b>
A thrilling new addition to the acclaimed Inspector Van Veeteren series.
It is summer in Sweden. A secretive and dubious religious sect comes under investigation when a girl on the cusp of adolescence is found dead in the forest near the sect's holiday camp, brutally raped and strangled. Inspector Van Veeteren and the other detectives on the case are mystified and infuriated when the members of the Pure Life—led by a charismatic but unnervingly guarded messiah figure—choose to remain silent about the incident rather than defend themselves. Assisting the authorities, however, is an unidentified woman, whose knowledge suggests she's more than just a passing good Samaritan. And her tips become doubly perplexing as a string of increasingly horrifying new crimes defy everything the police thought they knew about the case.
"Nesser's novels look for the roots of crime in the ills of society . . . He has seized his chance to create his own dark poetry from these stark materials, and the effect is haunting."
—The Wall Street Journal
Editorial Reviews
Inspector Van Veeteren probes a religious camp after a series of anonymous calls reports a missing girl.
At the Pure Life Camp in the wilderness at Waldingham, a camper sneaks out of her cabin in the middle of the night, then realizes she's being followed. A short time later, laid-back local police chief Kluuge receives a series of whispered calls about a girl missing from the camp. Meanwhile, in the city of Maardam, a sweltering summer is, depending on whom you ask, either raising or lowering the crime rate. Veteran Inspector Van Veeteren, who's closing in on 60, is again contemplating retirement and a less stressful life. So getting sent to Pure Life seems like an ironic bit of karma. He finds Kluuge an amiable shirker, and the neighbors of the camphard to communicate with. Van Veeteren checks in regularly with the squad room guys, who have everything under control in other cases. But the creepy leader of the camp proves to be a challenge. Slick, smug and shrewd, Oscar Yellinek parries all of Ven Veeteren's probing questions about the camp, which caters exclusively to teenage girls. Employees and campers alike deny that a girl is missing, but Van Veeteren smells a lie and a cult when Yellinek is evasive regarding sexual activity at the camp. The discovery of a dead girl changes everything.
Van Veeteren's fifth case to be translated into English(Woman with Birthmark, 2009, etc.) builds slowly, the grim haunting plot perfectly suited to the methodical, stoic hero.

—The New York Times Book Review
"Elegantly penned. . . . Thoroughly enjoyable. . . . [A] twisty layered tale that should keep even seasoned mystery fans guessing. . . . Just as Van Veeteren is no typical fictional detective, Nesser is no typical mystery writer. And The Inspector and Silence is no typical summer read: a Swedish vacation tale that visits the darkness with appropriate gravity but doesn't wallow in it—all the while managing to entertain."
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A thrilling investigation."
"What's surprisingly refreshing about Nesser's writing, given the subject matter, is the wry humor and sarcasm of his characters, that and a storyline that will keep you riveted till the final page. . . . Where Jo Nesbø's approach is more physical, visceral, Nesser's Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is much more cerebral. A chess player and lover of classical music and art films, Van Veeteren is nevertheless a bit of a curmudgeon, world-weary and nearing retirement, not unlike Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander."
—San Antonio Express-News
"Evocatively drawn. . . . A work of great moral complexity. . . . The clarity of Nesser's vision, the inner problems of good and evil with which Van Veeteren struggles, recall the films of Bergman."
—The Independent (London)
"[A] riveting tale. . . . [Van Veeteren] is the perfect detective for the job—ploddingly thorough and cerebral, with keen intuition about the darker reaches of the human character."
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
"This is stylish, atmospheric crime fiction with a strong moral core from an award-winning author; essential for readers of the genre."
—Library Journal
"Nesser concentrates on character and relationships in his novels. . . . His latest moves along leisurely, giving readers the opportunity to savor the style of his hero without worries of international conspiracies lurking in the Swedish forests."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"A taut and compelling mystery in a consistently outstanding series."
"Satisfying. . . . Van Veeteren, disengaged, thinking of retirement and wonderfully enigmatic, makes an enjoyable change from all those fictional policemen who persist in taking their work home with disastrous consequences."
—The Guardian (London)

Read an Excerpt
The girl in bed number 12 woke up early.
A summer morning. The gentle light of dawn sneaked in through the inadequate curtains. Started thawing out the night, a bit at a time. Levering up the darkness out of corners, prying into the other girls' innocent dreams. Their contented sniffling. She lay there for a while, listening to them. Trying to identify them. Kathrine was lying on her back as usual, snoring gently through her open mouth. Belle was hissing like a snake. To her right, Marieke was puffing away; one arm was dangling down by the side of the bed, and her mop of red hair was spread like a fan over her pillow. A drop of saliva trembled in the corner of her mouth—perhaps she should creep over to her and use a corner of the sheet to wipe it away? But she desisted.
She would have liked to tell Marieke what she was going to do. Marieke if nobody else. Say something; leave a message, anything. But she still hadn't made up her mind the previous evening. She'd been hemming and hawing. It wasn't an easy decision to make. She'd lain there, brooding over it, tossing and turning and making the iron-framed bed groan and creak until well into the night—both Marieke and Ruth had wondered if she was ill, and Belle had begged her several times to stop making such a racket.
Belle was a bit of a pain, but her dad was a close friend of Yellinek's so it was advisable to keep well in with her. That's what they said, at least. But then, they said all kinds of things at the Waldingen camp.
Anyway, she'd been tossing and turning. She had no idea when she'd eventually fallen asleep, nor did she know what time it was now—but her body was telling her that she hadn't had all that much sleep. In any case, now the moment had arrived—and, ah well, she'd better get up.
Her internal alarm clock had worked as it always did; but, of course, there was no reason it should continue to keep her awake. No reason at all.
She carefully folded back the heavy duvet and sat up. Dug out her jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers from the bedside cupboard and dressed quickly. Noticed that the pain in her stomach had returned, but brushed it to one side with the aid of her anger.
Her anger and sense of justice.
She scraped together the rest of her belongings in controlled haste: it wasn't easy to find room for everything, but she managed it. She fastened her rucksack and crept out. The door creaked as usual as she opened it, and some of the steps sighed unhappily when she trod on them, but in less than half a minute she was outside.
She scampered over the dew-laden grass and up toward the edge of the forest, stopping only when she had crossed over the little ridge and descended into the first of the hollows. Out of sight of the buildings, and out of reach.
She paused for a while among the blueberry bushes, shivering in what remained of the chilly night air while she worked out points of the compass and directions. Noticed that her teeth were chattering. If she kept going straight ahead through the trees, she must sooner or later come to the road, she knew that. But it was a long way. Even if she managed to stick to a more or less straight line it would take half an hour at the very least, and of course it wasn't certain that she'd be able to avoid going around in circles. By no means certain. She had lived in cities all her life: being close to nature among all these trees was not the environment she was used to.
She was playing away from home, you might say.
In normal circumstances she could have said a prayer, of course. Prayed to God and asked Him to stand by her and help her along her way, but it didn't seem right this morning.
Not right, and somehow not really honest.
God had started to look different recently. Yes, that's more or less what it seemed like. Become big, difficult and unapproachable, and—even if she didn't like to accept the thought—a bit frightening. The gentle bearded grandad figure of her childhood was swathed in shadows.
In darkness.
And now that she came to think about it, she realized that it was because of that very darkness that she was standing here among the blueberry bushes, wondering what to do next.
Hesitating and fighting against her fear and her anger. And her sense of justice, as already mentioned.
Yes, that was why.
The terrain sloped down to the right. Toward the lake and the winding dirt road leading to the Finghers' farm, where they took it in turns to go every evening to fetch the milk. And potatoes and vegetables and eggs.
Always in a group of four, with one of the rickety carts, and with Yellinek in the lead. Nobody could really understand why it was necessary for Yellinek always to be there when they went to the farm. Surely one of the sisters could have done it? Although it could have been to protect them from danger. That's probably why. The Finghers' farm was the only contact they had with the Other World, as Yellinek used to call it in his talks, the ones he held every morning and evening.
The Other World?
Now I'm standing in the Other World, she thought. I've only ventured a couple of hundred yards into it, and already I'm not sure which way to go. Perhaps everything really was like Yellinek said it was after all? Perhaps it really was Yellinek's God who was the real God, and not her own—her kind and forgiving and almost a little bit childlike God, full of joy?
The hell it is, she muttered to herself with another shudder, this time mainly to reinforce her thoughts. What's the point of a God who isn't gentle and kind?
But what she would do if she did eventually manage to get to the main road—well, that was something neither she nor either of the Gods could answer.
Something will turn up, as her grandma used to say. I'll think of something. She cast one more glance back over the ridge, toward the buildings: all she could see sticking up over the trees was the very top of the pointed roof of the dining room.
And the big, black cross, of course, the one they'd nailed together the very first day they arrived. She took a deep breath, turned her back on all that and began to make her way down toward the lake. Best to stick to the familiar dirt road after all.
She emerged from the trees close to the enormous birch that she and Marieke had discussed carving their names into before they left.
Always assuming they could find a way of slipping out unnoticed, that was the problem. They would have to steal twenty minutes from the Pure Life, sneak out and then back in without being seen. They didn't really fancy their chances of actually doing it, it was just one of those things people said; but here she was now, in fact, rubbing her hand over the smooth, white bark.
The Pure Life? she thought. The Good Shepherd?
The Other World?
A lot of crap.
The word came into her mind just as quickly as it had done yesterday. "Crap." She hadn't been able to hold it back then—it had flown out of her mouth like an angry and hotheaded little swallow, and in a flash it had changed into a big cloud.
Yes, that's exactly what it was like. A dark and threatening cloud hanging over the heads of everybody in the Hall of Life. It made the girls hold their breath, and Yellinek's pale eyes slowly turned to stare at her for several seconds, which felt like days.
"I want to have a word with you afterward," he'd said eventually, then turned his eyes away again and continued talking in his usual low voice. About purity and whiteness and nakedness and all that stuff.
Then later on in the White Room.
But not even there did he waste many words on her. Merely stated the fact.
"The Devil, my girl. You have the Devil inside you. Tomorrow we'll drive it out."
Then he'd sent her off to bed with a weary gesture.
She had heard about driving out the Devil, but had no idea how they went about it. She'd thought it was something that only grown-ups did, but evidently not. Anybody could be possessed by the Devil, even a little child: that was something she'd learned last night.
And now it was going to be driven out. That was bound to be an unpleasant experience. Much worse than the caning to drive out sin—and although she had been here for two weeks now, she still hadn't grown accustomed to that. After every session she needed to cry a bit in private, but she hadn't noticed any of the other girls needing to do that.
And now the need to cry had struck her again. Without any warning, she felt a burning sensation in her throat and then the tears started to flow and she had to sit down by the side of the road. Just for a few moments, to let it run its course and go away. It was silly, wandering around in the middle of the road and sobbing. Even though it couldn't have been later than six or half past—and even though there was virtually no risk of meeting another soul—it was silly.
She found a handkerchief in her rucksack and blew her nose. Remained sitting there for a few minutes, to be on the safe side, and it was just as she was about to stand up and continue on her way that she heard a twig snap close by, and she quickly realized that she was by no means as alone as she had imagined.

Between the Swedish summer heat, the workload, and his feeling he suffers from PTSD, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren considers strongly about retiring. He figures he deserves a vacation as he has kept putting it off and will decide when he comes back whether to submit his papers. However, someone rapes and murders a young girl in the woods near the Pure Life sect encampment. Van Veeteren leads the investigation. When he and his team meet the charismatic leader of Pure Life, Oscar Yellinek; Van Veeteren thinks the man is pure evil and guilty but has no proof. The cops find the total silence of the members disturbing as no one utters a word and via passive resistance refuse to cooperate except an anonymous woman who keeps giving him tips while violent homicides occur. The latest Swedish Inspector Van Veeteren police procedural (see Mind's Eye and Woman with a Birthmark) is an entertaining bleak murder investigation. The protagonist's fears he is over the edge when it comes to killers as he considers retirement. His doubts enhance the whodunit as Van Veeteren desperately wants to deliver swift justice instead of keeping predatory monsters safe until the courts to do their job. Although too much time is spent on Swedish food and other minor sidebars, fans of Scandinavian Noir will enjoy Van Veeteren's dark frustration with legal justice being at a snail's pace. Harriet Klausner
One of my greatest frustrations about following book series with lead detectives is when the author decides to take the reader through the detectives' personal reflections and angst. I find that, more often than not, this comes at the expense of the pace of the story and I inevitably lose interest. I have taken no less than three weeks to trudge through this Van Veeteren mystery. The story is straightforward enough, but most of the characters are all as tortured and brooding as Van Veeteren himself, so there's no great variation of mood, scenery, pace, or advancement. If you're in the mood for a weekend read in front of the fireplace on the couch, this is not it.

I have read each of the first five books of the Inspecter Van Veeteren series by Hakan Nesser. I look forward to reading his latest.
Love these mysteries by Swedish authors. Very suspensful. After Stieg Larssen's triology I was hooked on the stories from all these authors.

Apple iPhone 5C casings, shown here, were among the things that made today's iPhone press event trivial. (Image Sources: Reuters)
This morning, at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, the tech company had a press event announcing some new products on the iPhone line, replacing the iPhone 5 with the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, and displaying their operating system, iOS 7, due September 18. If you had some spoiler filter on, you might in fact be surprised at what was announced. However, given the press coverage of the announcement far exceeding the length and content of the Apple press event itself, nothing new was actually revealed, because we already knew days in advance what to expect, almost down to the specs of the phones. That only shows that Apple, once this hip company that could astound people at being "different," has turned into just another tech company with extra confetti.
How do I know this days in advance? It is not actually hard. Almost every general tech outlet has followed every single plausible rumor and leak about Apple to the ground, and many have followed rumors that are not so true. The Wall Street Journal often leaks news with impunity. Now, we can say that about 90% of those rumors and leaks came out to be true in some form or another, with a few exceptions (particularly those concerning the possible release of a new iWatch, or a bigger screen for the iPhone 5S).
It used to be that all you would hear about Apple is that they were announcing something big around the corner. Then, surprise, something big would be announced that you would not expect. Often, Steve Jobs would subvert expectations by pulling a Colombo-esque "One more thing..." to the crowd, revealing another product or service. The populace would be mystified, the fan base would rejoice, and shareholders would be pleased.
But Steve Jobs' passing has shown that all that is left to these announcements is mere flash and show. Tim Cook, for all his graces, lacks the showmanship of Jobs, and plays off new developments with the energy of a socialite. This matches up with Apple's current vision of its press events: The only reason these events are important anymore is because they make them exclusive and elite, with events being held at Cupertino or the Yerba Buena Center of the Arts in downtown San Francisco to select "trusted" journalists. They are tech cocktail parties.
Apple's products themselves are not that interesting since the death of Jobs, being repeats or upgrades of previous Apple products. Today is no exception: The iPhone 5S's one big new feature is a fingerprint scanner on its home button. A fingerprint scanner. Not exactly exciting. Furthermore, almost all the important information about Apple's new products (the one exception almost always being price, a problem to few fans) is revealed, verified, and confirmed, spoiled to the masses. Therein lies the rub with Apple press events and announcements now: If we know what is going to happen, what is so special about them?

Investigation exposes shocking levels of rape and sexual harassment in the classroom. Karen MacGregor reports
Shocking levels of rape and sexual harassment of schoolgirls must be tackled by the South African government, says the US-based Human Rights Watch organisation.
The demand for action follows the publication of a Human Rights Watch report which said endemic sexual violence is seriously undermining the rights of girls and their performance at school.
Rape victims, some as young as seven, told investigators that schools had been mostly hostile or indifferent to complaints about sexual attacks. Many of the girls had dropped out because of the trauma of their experiences.
Male pupils and teachers who perpetrate sexual violence are rarely punished. Rape occurs in empty classrooms, corridors, toilets, hostels and dormitories. Girls are also often fondled, subjected to aggressive sexual advances and verbally degraded at school.
"We found that girls from all levels of society and among all ethnic groups are affected by sexual violence at school," says author Erika George in Scared at School: Sexual Violence Against Girls in South African Schools.
The lack of government action, the organisation argues, is in breach of the country's constitution and its commitment to international treaties.
In March and April 2000, Human Rights Watch, working with local charitable groups, visited schools in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Western Cape and interviewed 36 survivors of rape and harassment as well as parents, teachers, officials, therapists, olice and others.
Researchers also drew on hundreds of documented cases taken up by or reported to non-governmental organisations and Childline, a social services agency helping child victims.
"I left school because I was raped by two guys in my class who were supposedly my friends," said one 13-year-old girl. The mother of a nine-year-old girl gang-raped by older classmates said: "I can't understand how nobody saw anything or helped my child. I don't feel she is safe at school."
Levels of violence against South African women are among the world's highest: there is a rape every 23 seconds. Amazingly, 25 per cent of men surveyed by the Johannesburg city council said they had raped before they were 18, and one in five thought women enjoyed the experience.
Schools have long been violent, one reason being the routine abuse of power by the apartheid state, fuelling a culture of brutality.
"Violence is often sexualised, with devastating consequences for women and girls," Ms George said. Too often officials conceal sexual violence and delay disciplinary action against perpetrators, at great cost to victims.
Human Rights Watch found that sexual violence "profoundly" destabilised the education of girls. The performance of rape victims suffered, girls found it hard to concentrate after assaults, some lost interest in learning, and many transferred to new schools or dropped out.
The government now insists that teachers found guilty of sexual assault are sacked. But a national policy on dealing with gender violence in schools has yet to be implemented.

I don't remember when I got dubbed "the good son". I remember I'd never complained as much about the temple duties as Eiri. But then, back when he still did them he was a teenager and I wasn't even ten yet. Give any eight year old a bucket of water and a ladle and tell them to go splash water on the ground and see how much of a complaint you get. Let alone feeding koi. It was all just fun and games to me back then.
Even after EIri left for America, and came back so different. I'd taken over his duties while he'd been away and he never took them back up so it wasn't as if I suddenly had to do everything. Though I found it strange that he'd sit and talk with me as I did them but never offer to help. The conversations weren't quite the same anymore either. And sometimes the things he said hurt. Once he made me cry by teasing me. I ran to my room. He never apologized, but he brought me dinner - staying to make sure I ate more than the rice. I guessed that was the new Eiri's way of saying he was sorry.
Sometimes he'd torment the temple duties, and ask me if I disliked doing them. All I'd ever say was - "Nah, I don't mind." I never said anything more. Even if he wasn't the same, he was still my big brother and I didn't want him to think badly of me. So I never told him I liked them. I liked watering the steps. I liked feeding the koi. I still loved the smell of sandalwood incense, even if I'd spent every day of my life smelling it. I never told him any of that.
And then he was gone. Off to Tokyo to hermit himself away in some fancy apartment he'd bought with the money from his first published book. A book he hadn't even told us he was publishihng. Sure, I'd seen him writing, but Eiri had always written. He used to tell me great bedtime stories. B.A. - Before America.
And it seemed like suddenly overnight he was some famous author. And I was suddenly the temple heir. And suddenly it wasn't all fun and games anymore.
Tatsuha, dressed in a lower secondary uniform, ran up the steps to the house. "Father, I'm home!" He shouted, kicking off his shoes and sliding on his slippers. Slinging his schoolcase over his shoulder, he entered the kitchen to rummage around in the fridge - pulling out a soda. He drank it down hastily as he made his way to his room, sliding open the door and tossing the schoolcase inside. Finished with the soda he dropped it into an overflowing wastebin as he slid the door shut.
"Hi, Sakuma-san, I'm home!" He glomped the poster of the Nittle Grasper singer on his wall. Peeling himself off he hastily began to change into his monks robes. "Guess what hapened today? Eiko Rada asked if I was going to the winter dance! And she actually sounded disappointed when I told her I couldn't! But do you know what Niko said? He said she only asked me because I look like "The famous author Eiri Yuki" and she has a huge crush on him! Can you believe he actually said that? I think he's just jealous!"
He brushed his hair back as he pulled some prayer beads on before sitting down to pull on a pair of tabi socks. "I totally aced my history test, too. But I doubt I'll do so good on science next friday...oh! And Meiji's brother has a motorcycle! It's so cool-looking! And fast! He drove me home, but don't tell Dad because he'd freak..."
Hopping up he glomped the picture one more time. "Thanks for listening. I have to help Dad with a funeral this afternoon, and it's in Sendai, so I won't be home until later. Bye!"
Running out of the room he almost forgot to stop for his sandals before hurring to the temple. "Father, I'm...!" He trailed off, seeing the temple was empty. "Er...father?" He searched the temple, and then outside before hurrying inside again to search the house. There was a note for him on the living room table. He opened it, surprised to find yen inside. He tore his attention back to the note - recognizing his father's handwriting instantly.
I have not been feeling well these past two days and Mika has insisted on taking me to the hospital. Though I appreciate her concern, this couldn't have happened at a worst time. I must ask you a very important favor. The funeral you were to assist me with you will have to perform alone. It is much to ask of you, but I have great confidence in your abilities. There is enough yen for you to take the train there and back. I will see you afterwards, unless some foolhardy doctor decides to detain me. In which case Mika will be waiting to take you to her house for the weekend.
Do your best, and I'm sure you'll make us proud."
He read the letter twice. Then blinked, and read it again. "No way! My first solo ceremony! I don't believe it! You're so totally awesome, Tatsuha Uesugi! You're gonna perform this ceremony flawlessly!" He stopped his rave when he saw the clock. "Waah! I'm gonna be late!" Grabbing up the yen to put in his sleeve he ran to get his supplies.
I may have been a bit cocky about the whole thing, but I managed to get through the ceremony without any major blunders. Everyone complimented me on it, saying it was beautifully done and commenting on what a mature young man I was. I was positively glowing with compliments when I left. Nothing quite like the feeling that you've got the whole world in your pocket. And nothing quite like a heavy dose of reality to bring you down.
Tatsuha headed up the street toward the train station, trying not to skip. He couldn't believe how well the ceremony had gone. 'Wait'll I tell Eiri - he'll flip! Tatsuha Uesugi - full fledged monk! Well, almost...'
"Wait, please wait!"
He was startled out of his euphoria by a woman grabbing his arm. she was dressed traditionally in a kimono, and she looked panicked. 'Wha-?' Tatsuha turned, confused. "Um...can I help you?"
"A-are you from the local temple?" The woman asked, she seemed out of breath.
"Actually, I'm from an Osakan temple.' Tatsuha admitted. "I was only in town to perform a funeral ceremony. I can direct you to-"
"But you are a monk, then. And you can perform the death rites?"
Tatsuha felt a chill go up his spine. He knew the death rites, but he'd never performed them. His father always handled them. "I...Yes, but I don't-" He began.
"Please, please - my son is dying and the monks won't be heare on time. Will you perform the death rites for him?"
Tatsuha swallowed. "Wouldn't it be better to find the local-"
"Please!" The woman dropped to her knees, lowering her head to the sidewalk. "Please."
The scene was starting to attract attention - people stopping to stare at them. Tatsuha felt his cheeks begin to heat in embarrassment. The thought of performing the death rites chilled him to the bone, but the woman was so panicked, what could he do? And with so many witnesses to turn down her request would bring shame to the temple.
"Please, don't do that." He knelt down hastily, taking her arm. "Of course I'll assist any way I can." He pulled her up, noticing she was crying.
"Thank-you...thank-you..." The woman wiped at her eyes. "Come with me."
Tatsuha swallowed, and nodded - not trusting his voice.
The hospital seemed startlingly white and modern. Tatsuha felt out of place in his robes as he followed the woman through its cold halls. No one questioned who he was, or if he should be there. Nobody asked his age either.
The smell in the room was unpleasant. Sickness combined with chemicals and the sharpness of an overabundance of metal. There were two girls slightly older than him by the door, crying. One ran to the woman, clinging to her tightly.
The man by the bed stepped aside when he approached, letting him see who'd he'd come to perform the rites for. The breath caught in his throat when he saw his face. He couldn't even be as old as he himself yet. His hair was short, and he seemed too thin, Tatsuha wondered how long he'd been at the hospital. His eyes were open, but too bright. He didn't seem to see any of them, and he turned restlessly. The bars on the bed were up so he wouldn't fall out. He was pale, even his lips. Though a fever burned his cheeks.
'This is death.' The thought struck him, and his steps froze.
"Do...you need anything?" The father asked. He wasn't crying now, but his eyes were red.
Tatsuha took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. "No...yes! His name."
"Makoto." The father replied.
Tatsuha found himself turning his eyes back to the young boy's face. "Makoto." He repeated. He felt as distant as the dying boy's gaze all of a sudden. As if he were watching and listening to the scene instead of taking part in it. "You don't have to worry. He'll be in good hands soon."
I don't think the smell of sandalwood incense was ever so sweet before. My body seemed to go through the motions on it's own. Lighting the incense. Kneeling on the hard floor by the bed. The chants rose from my throat, but the whole time my mind was blank. Makoto grew less restless, and his sisters stopped crying. And then the machines he was hooked to started screaming.
In the panic of the doctors coming in, I managed to stand. My legs were shaking, though. The family was ushered out, but no one made any move to make me leave as they attempted to revive him. For a moment I was frozen. My legs collapsed, and I fell to the floor - jarring my knees. The pain seemed to remind me why I was there, and I began to chant again, praying the interruption hadn't caused any problems in his crossing.
After the sheet had been pullled over Makoto's face, a doctor placed his hand on my shoulder. I managed a brief nod as I completed my chant. The doctors exited to tell the family, and for a long time all I could do was kneel there, trying to come to terms with everything that had happened. When it all finally sunk in, I promptly threw up.
"Easy there." A woman in a pressed white nurse's uniform was stroking his back gently. "First time, huh?"
"F-first time?" Tatsuha repeated numbly.
"Death rites. You aren't the first young priest to lose their stomach. Witnessing someone die isn't something easy to adjust to." She was an older woman, motherly in a way. "The family's waiting to thank-you. You have to pull yourself together."
"I..." Tatsuha nearly threw up again when he glanced down at the floor and saw the lost contents of his stomach.
"Easy." The woman rubbed his back gently again. "My - you are very young, aren't you? I didn't look at you closely before. At first glance you look older. Especially when you were so serious and composed. C'mon now." She helped him to his feet. "Don't you worry. I'll clean it up."
"I...I have to preserve the incense ashes..."
The woman nodded knowingly. "I'll take care of it. You have to speak to the family. Can you?"
Tatsuha closed his eyes, trying to block it all out for a moment. Slowly he nodded. "Yes."
"Brave boy. Go on now."
The family kept thanking me over and over again. It was hard to stand there and listen to it. I didn't want them to thank or praise me. What had I done, really? I felt distant again. Even as I wrote down the temple address for the father, who insisted on paying for my services. I was numb.
But more, nothing felt the same anymore. I guess witnessing death like that for the first time will do that to you. I was surprised I wasn't crying. But I didn't cry at the hospital. Or the train ride home. But when I was standing on the steps that led to our house and temple, suddenly I couldn't stop. I should have reported to father right away - he was the head of the temple, after all. But I couldn't face him. I couldn't face anyone.
Tatsuha, still in his robes, though he'd removed his socks and prayerbeads, sat curled up on his futon. He'd pulled his legs up to bury his face in them, clasping his arms around his knees. He rocked slightly as he tried to muffle his crying.
He lifted his head a little to look at the poster of Ryuichi Sakuma on the wall. "Sakuma-san...I...someone needed me to perform death rites today. I've never had to do them before. It was...I just...nothing's the same anymore. And I..." He trailed off, looking at the picture sulkily. "Why do I bother? You can't tell me what to do. You can't hear me, can't comfort me...You're...You're no use!" Leaping up he ripped the poster off the wall. It tore in several spots - leaving pieces of it stil hanging. tossing it away from himself, Tatsuha collapsed to the futon, crying again.
He wasn't sure how long he lay there, listening to the sound of his own sobbing. Slowly he became aware of someone beside him. He peered out from the crook of his arm, surprised to see his father kneeling besides his futon. Before he could react, his father bowed - his forehead touching the floor. "Forgive me, my son."
Tatsuha sat up, opening his mouth to say something, but stopped when his father held up his hand, shaking his head.
"You performed both ceremonies with the composure and dedication of a true monk. I find no fault with you. But you should not have had to bear such a burden, and for that I can only fault myself for not being there when you truly needed me."
"But you weren't well-" Tatsuha began, but his father hushed him.
"Tsh. I should have seen to my duties first and thought of myself second - as you did." He reached out a hand to lift tatsuha's face up to meet his eyes. "You have brought your family much honor this day - at a great disservice to yourself."
Tatsuha felt his eyes fill with tears again, and he lowered his face to hide behind his mop of dark hair. "I...I can't stop thinking about it..."
His father reached out to take his hand in his own. "I was the same age when I first performed the death rites. I can still remember his name and face..."
"Makoto...his name was Makoto...Father, he...he wasn't even my age!" He began to cry again, unable to stop himself.
"I had not wished you to experience this yet. Forgive me, Tatsuha. Forgive me."
Tatsuha could not reply. He could only continue to cry, clinging tightly to his father's hand like a life line.
Warmth awoke him. Warmth and sound. the feeling of sun on his face, and the silky strains of a familiar voice.
"You who have been reborn,
Color your eyes without smiling alone.
Even if the world you've longed for has suddenly burned to ash,
In some miracle we could still brush into eachother."
'That's...Sakuma Ryuichi's voice..." Tatsuha blinked his eyes open, and was met by the sun shining in through his window.
"(Hold me gently in order to break me)
Be exposed in a state of purity Like a flower whose petals have fallen off.
You're just beginning to notice the days Are shining jeweled cups in your hand."
'Father...let me sleep through morning prayers? And where...' He saw his record player was on. 'Who could have...? Father? But he hates this music, why would he...? For me? To soothe me?'
"(A cold hand gathers up the shred thorns)
(So a banked flame continues to smolder)
"Let's depict the vivedly dancing thoughts Found in that place of light that is unreachable even now.
Don't fear the passage of time.
So that words of guidance won't completlely spill out and flow away."
'These lyrics...that part almost sounded like the words to one of the chants that...' He sat up slowly, glancing at the torn poster of Ryuichi on the floor.
"(And there's no way out)
(I'm falling farther down.)
"To the reincarnation of you,
I say, color your eyes without smiling alone.
Even if the world you've longed for has suddenly burned to ash,
The miracle could still happen to come again."
Reaching down, Tatsuha picked up the poster.
"Let's depict the vivedly dancing thoughts Found in that place of light that is unreachable even now.
Don't fear the passage of time.
So that words of guidance won't completlely spill out and flow away.
"(Hold me gently)
(Always catch me)
(More and more)
(In order to break my heart)"
Tatsuha's eyes welled with tears again, and he set the poster on the desk, smoothing it gently. He took the pieces still on the wall off carefully, and set to work.
Tatsuha, dressed in a high school uniform, entered his bedroom, drinking the last of a can of beer - dropping it in an overflowing wastebin by the door as he slid it shut. Dropping his schoolcase on the bed he paused a moment to look at the poster of Ryuichi Sakuma on the wall. It was taped together - having once been torn in five pieces. And the lyrics to Sleepless Beauty had been written in slightly unsteady calligraphy down one side. "I'm home, Sakuma-san...but I have head back out. You see, there's a funeral today in Sendai..."
So I guess I don't know when I got dubbed "the good son", but I guess I know why. I never did brag to Eiri about my first solo funeral, though he heard about it somehow. I did start bragging about being a monk, though. And I guess he figured out that I liked it. though he never could understand why. Or why I was still hooked on Nittle Grasper when all my friends became raving lunatics about every top band of the year.
And Mika never could figure out how I could be so tolerant of Eiri's ways. Or why my own views of the world seemed to change so suddenly.
And I never told either of them. That was father and my secret. And I guess I liked it that way.
Salmon 2006
I was tempted for the last scene to be of him being in a relationship with Ryuichi but decided against it. I love RxT pairing stories, but I wanted to keep this one cannon. Though I researched briefly, I'm no expert on death rites in the buddhist faith and apologize for any mistakes I made. That's one of the reasons I didn't do a long, full scene in third person with it. Besides, the main concept of the story was how it affected him, more than what happened there.
I seem to be one of the few people who seem to think Tatsuha likes being a monk but - geez, c'mon - he brags about it everytime he meets someone, and always goes on about it. So he's gotta like it. But that's IMHO, so - y'know. You disagree, write your own fanfic! ROFL I hope you all enjoyed it! R&R please.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 237646
Anaconda insists on a network configuration for every ethernet card
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:43 EST
Description of problem:
Installing RHEL 5 (as per the version on porkchop) (i.e.
RHEL5-Server-20070208.0-x86_64-disc1-ftp.iso et al.) on a Dell Poweredge 1850
server. After configuration of eth0, anaconda insists that eth1 also requires
either an ipv4 or ipv6 address or both. It ought to be possible to leave the
network devices unconfigured if required
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 5.0 on a machine with >1 ethernet cards
2. Attempt to leave one of the cards unconfigured.
Actual results:
Impossible to move to next stage of the installation without configuring all of
the network cards. Also if I move back to the configuration of the first card
from the config screen for the second card, then it changes the configuration
back to the default (get address from DHCP) rather than what I'd previously
configured (set ipv4 address manually). I would have expected it to have
retained the previously assigned configuration.
Expected results:
Should carry on and ignore the unconfigured network card.
This sounds like text mode. Either way, the network configuration interfaces
(both text and graphical) in RHEL5 are just a bit stupid in some instances.
Need to rewrite the loops for a lot of that stuff. Have it all fixed in
rawhide, just need to pull over the relevant code for RHEL-5.1.
Yes, it is text mode, sorry, I should have mentioned that in the report.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 218200 ***

Howdy folks...
It's been a long, long time since I've made any sort of updates here. Too long. Years.
A lot has happened in the past few years. Some of you know the whole story, some only bits and pieces, and the majority of you probably think I got hit by a bus or something.
Well, it's been a crazy few years. I've been doing a lot of work with the folks over at Anything Digital, and through them I've done a little bit over at Watchful (though nothing exciting with regards to security, unfortunately).
I've been put through absolute hell dealing with the highest ups and the lowest downs that come with child custody: courtrooms, lawyers, police, child protective services, sociopaths, and a whole slew of madness I'd rather not post here. I was even involved in a murder investigation (not as a suspect, thankfully).
With all the insanity that's come up, I've neglected this site quite a bit and as a result all the software I used to host here has become abandonware. My apologies.
I feel your pain! Been there done that. I now have custody of both my kids. I wish you the best of luck, if you need anyone to ask questions of or talk to, please feel free to talk to a stranger who has gone through the ringer himself.
Second, I would like permission to take over Bizant Sentry for Joomla. I would license it, recode, add code and even package it for other joomla users for a fee, which of course, if you agree, I would gladly split 50-50 with you. You had a great start, and I think it needs a little more code and tinkering with to even be in the top mods/plugins for both Joomla! and WordPress. Please think about it and let me know ok? Excitedly awaiting your reply.

If you are organising a wedding then you've got a huge selection of stuff to think about. Coach Hire Hodderston There is the church, automobiles, wedding cake, hotel and the honeymoon, of course. Actually there are so a lot of things to remember that its easy to forget one feature that is essential – getting the guests in the church to the reception.
{ One approach to guarantee that everyone has a good time and you also do not have to worry about them getting there is to hire a luxury coach.|}
Its not as expensive as you might imagine, particularly when you think you could move up to 50 people at the same time in comfort. Modern coaches are built with every luxury you'll be able to think of including air-conditioning, TV displays, wi-fi connections and at times even a drinks bar onboard. Exactly what an excellent approach to let folks actually love their day. Merely have the coach pick up them in the church and offer them some champagne in route to the reception. A professional driver will take them in security and comfort and, of course he can wait until the party is over before taking them back or home to their particular resorts.
All in all, hiring a coach is a terrific solution to help your guests enjoy your big day, Its affordable, quite comfy and ensures a stress free day for both your and your family and friends.

Progresses on the hazelnut cross breeding of Corylus heterophylla Fisch. × Corylus avellana L. in China

Corylus heterophylla Fisch. is a specific wild species native to northern China, with strong adaptability to low temperature. In order to obtain hazelnut cultivars with large nut size and adaptability in the frigid terrain, the inter-species cross breeding of C. heterophylla Fisch. × C. avellana L. was performed in the 1980s. A group of cultivars and advanced selections were obtained after nearly 20 years of research and the cultivation trials were further performed in several areas of different climatic conditions in northern China. The cultivars and advanced selections like 'Dawei', 'Liaozhen 3' and 'Liaozhen 7' could adapt to -35°C, 'Ping'ou 33', 'Ping'ou 237' and 'Ping'ou 48' could adapt to -30°C, and 'Liaozhen 1' could adapt to -25°C at the dormancy stage. The average weight of these cultivars and advanced selections are 2.6-3.0 g per nut, the kernels are easily blanched and kernel rates are 38.9-47.5% by weight. The cultivars and advanced selections began their bearing 2-3 years after being planted. The yields in the 5th, 7th and 10th year are 660-1110, 2220-2553 and 2325-3000 kg/ha, respectively and high adaptability to soil pH value of 5.5 to 8.0. The successful progress of the hazelnut breeding program greatly promoted the hazelnut industry in China.

The specific ecological conditions in China and the social needs led to a large scale program of hazelnut breeding 30 years ago. In order to achieve the target, Corylus heterophylla Fisch. and European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) were used in the breeding program by the Economic Forestry Research Institute of Liaoning Province (EFRI). EFRI is located in Dalian, northeast of China. The breeding program was initially based on interspecific crosses. C. heterophylla and European hazelnut were used as parents. From 1990, more then 6000 hybrids and more than 40 advanced selections were obtained. Five experimental fields were established to evaluate the advanced selections. Two of the five experimental fields are in Dalian (at a latitude of 39°N, and the average annual temperature is 10°C, the rainfall is about 600 mm). Two of them in Fushun (at a latitude of 42°N, the average annual temperature is 6.5-7°C, the rainfall is about 810 mm). Fushun is very cold in winter, the minimum temperature is -35.2°C. one of the experimental fields is in Shenyang (at a latitude of 42°N, and the average annual temperature is 7.5°C, the rainfall is about 740 mm). As the results of the breeding program, nine cultivars such as: 'Dawei', 'Liaozhen3', 'Liaozhen4' were released. Eight of the cultivars are for table consumption, and one for industry. The cultivars are productive, cold hardy and well-adapted to the environmental conditions of China. It changed the hazelnut industry of China from the utilization of wild resources nut collecting to horticultural cultivation. The approximate area of hazelnut plantation in China is about 10,000 hectares.

The studies are to select pollinated cultivars of hybrid hazelnut (Corylus heterophylla Fisch. × C. avellana L.) by testing the pollen viability and pollen-stigma compatibility. The pollen viability of 5 hybrid hazelnuts was tested with the agar culture method. The pollen-stigma compatibility among 10 hybrid hazelnuts was observed by fluorescence microscope. The result showed that the pollen viability sequence from the highest to the lowest was '1-21', '82-11', 'Liaozhen 3', 'Yuzhui' and 'Dawei'. The pollen-stigma compatibility testing result was that only '1-21' showed best pollen-stigma compatibility among the 5 tested hybrid hazelnuts. It was demonstrated that 1-21 was the best pollinated cultivar.

Revenge of the computer nerd. A techie entrepreneur whose Chelsea pad was trashed after he rented it on Airbnb and it was used to host an orgy has launched a website to help landlords crack down on illegal subletters. Ari Teman, 33, said he was inspired to create SubletSpy.com — which launched Sunday — after his horrific experience through the apartment sharing site. "You can take a terrible experience and make it great," said Teman….

The Official FA Guide series
FA Learning and Hodder Stoughton, pound;8.99 per book; six-pack schools'

Adapted Games Activities: From Tag to Team Building
By Pattie Rouse
Human Kinetics Europe, pound;12
Tel: 0113 255 5665
Each guide has something for novice and experienced coaches, from developing coaching skills and organising effective and enjoyable practice sessions, to managing finances and joining a league.
One let-down is the unhelpful contacts section. Instead of a long list of county or club contacts, there's a list of international football associations. I can't imagine many readers will need to know how to get hold of the Romanian Football Federation.
However, the series does cover all the bases for grassroots coaches and offers advice that will be useful across a range of sports, making it a cost-effective addition to the PE department's library.
These are not manuals with instructions to be followed to the letter, but guides that provide an all-round understanding of the game, on and off the pitch.
101 Youth Soccer Drills is purely instructional and provides a companion title to the FA Learning guides. If you're looking for new ideas for drills, you'll find it here. The explanations are straightforward and succinct, with details on how to set up, and the equipment needed for every drill. The diagrams help simplify the instructions even further.
Inclusion on the sports field and in the sports hall is the aim of Adapted Games Activities. This book features dozens of games that can be played by all primary children, including those with learning disabilities.
Activities include tag, chase and dodge games, ball skills and team-building, and the emphasis is on fun, as well as developing motor skills and fitness.
The Game Finder at the front of the book lists all the games, with a skills overview and an equipment list, enabling readers to pick a game in seconds.
Most of the activities rely on items usually found in primary sports cupboards, but those wanting to make full use of games on offer may have to seek out beanbags, volleyball nets and therapeutic balls.
Adapted Games Activities will keep PE sessions fresh and ensure that the sessions are rigorous and fun for all involved.

Other views: 'Concerted action is needed to create jobs'
Sponsored Links
Wade Henderson, president and CEO, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights: "These numbers confirm what millions of Americans have long felt. The recovery is not trickling down to the average worker, with communities of color, women, and single-parent households still feeling the harshest effects of the Great Recession. We cannot expect these trends to reverse themselves; concerted action is needed to create jobs and invest in vulnerable families if we are to ensure shared prosperity and opportunity for all."
About Editorials/Debate
Opinions expressed in USA TODAY's editorials are decided by its Editorial Board, a demographically and ideologically diverse group that is separate from USA TODAY's news staff.
Most editorials are accompanied by an opposing view — a unique USA TODAY feature that allows readers to reach conclusions based on both sides of an argument rather than just the Editorial Board's point of view.
Thomas Sowell, Creators Syndicate: "We have now reached the point where the great majority of the people living below the official poverty level have such things as air conditioning, microwave ovens, either videocassette recorders or DVD players, and own either a car or a truck. Why are such people called 'poor'? Because they meet the arbitrary criteria established by Washington bureaucrats. Depending on what criteria are used, you can have as much official poverty as you want, regardless of whether it bears any relationship to reality. Those who believe in an expansive, nanny-state government need a large number of people in 'poverty' to justify their programs. They also need a large number of people dependent on government to provide the votes needed to keep the big nanny state going."
Danilo Trisi, Arloc Sherman and Matt Broaddus, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: "The increase in poverty in 2010 is further evidence of how weak the economy was for millions of Americans. These data, and the continuing weakness in the labor market in 2011, underscore the need to bolster both job creation and the safety net in order both to shore up the economy and to ease hardship. Although the economy has been growing since mid-2009, the pace has slowed this year; in the first half of 2011, growth fell below 1% — far too slow to generate enough jobs to reduce unemployment and poverty noticeably."
House Republican Conference, in a statement: "President Obama has spent the majority of his first 32 months in office doing everything except creating American jobs. The president signed a failed $1 trillion "stimulus" bill and promised that unemployment would not rise above 8%. Unemployment has averaged 9.4% since then. … A Census report on poverty in America confirms a sad fact that most Americans already know: President Obama's economic policies have failed, and the nation cannot afford more of the same."
The (Syracuse) Post-Standard, in an editorial: "Americans are hurting, especially middle-class Americans. Lawmakers should keep that foremost in their minds as they debate President Obama's jobs proposal and whatever alternatives are proposed by House Republicans. If the early posturing is any indication, entitlement programs will be on the chopping block. Cutting aid to the poor and elderly, when they have already suffered the most from the Great Recession, would add insult to injury. Let's hope our political representatives have more compassion than the public at large. In a late February survey by the Pew Center for the People & the Press, 51% of Americans agreed with the statement: 'The government can't afford to do much more to help the needy.' … We can't let our own struggles blind us to those of our countrymen, many of whom are much worse off."
Matthew Yglesias, ThinkProgress: "When contemplating the rising poverty rate in the face of the economic downturn, it's important to keep in mind that one crucial quirk of the way the Census Bureau calculates the poverty rate is that the value of things like food stamps and Medicaid isn't counted in considering whether a family is above or below the line. If the government enacted a pure cash transfer, like higher earned income tax Credit benefits, that would show up as lifting some families out of poverty. But if the government increases spending on non-cash anti-poverty programs, then whatever benefits those programs have doesn't count unless they indirectly serve to boost the recipients' market wages. This is defensible in many cases, but hardly in all. … The real evolution of living standards at the low end in the United States isn't as bad as a cursory look at the press release would have you believe, and the incremental improvement is entirely thanks to a progressive public policy intervention."

I am modifying our build.xml files to work in both the Unix and Windows
environments. They were written originally for Unix. We are executing a
few subprojects within the main build.xml. This has been accomplished with:
This is called from the parent directory of "content". However, this
command doesn't seem to work in Windows (it can't find ant). It does work
in Unix. I have tried using the following to replace this command:
Now this works fine in Windows but not in Unix. The main build.xml is one
level above "content" in the directory hierarchy. I am guessing that when
using the ant task the working directory does not get switched to "content"
but it does get switched to "content" when using exec. Is this the case?
Is there a workaround? I could specify the OS for the exec but this is not
an option for the ant task.

My precious son was born at 26 weeks gestation and in those days that was not viable. He weighed one pound, three ounces and was perfectly formed, but not his lungs. He lived one and a half hours and I never got to see him......they put me to sleep upon his birth and he was gone when I awoke. Evidently they thought that would be easier for me.....it wasn't.
We were living in Grandville at the time and he was interred in a baby section, near a beautiful little creek, under a huge spreading shade tree. It is very beautiful, as was he. He was my first living baby after four miscarriages, greatly multiplying the tragedy. The person who comforted me the most in the hospital was the friend who came and cried with me.
Forty years later, one of my sons named his little boy after his older, never seen, never known brother. He asked my permission first.....I was so pleased that he'd asked and even more delighted that he wanted to do that. Now my new little John Delmar is the joy of my life, along with his other twelve cousins. God has been good to me. I imagine my little baby boy in the arms of my adored grandmother rocking away in Heaven. I have accepted and am content.

Simple way to access current movie trailers
Mike Murray
Your very own "Sneak Previews"... sort of. This new app from AOL's Moviefone allows you to view trailers on Google TV. In a way, it's like having your own version of "Sneak Previews", "Trailer Park" or other such movie trailer shows, including the commercials. That's right, I said commercials. Well, I suppose they had to monetize it somehow. A couple of issues. If you only want to see selected trailers, you have to go in and out of the menu system in order to choose the one you want. On my GTV (Sony NSZ-GT1), there's no settings menu. Once you pull up a trailer, you can use your remote to go back and forth among individual trailers within the categories: In Theaters, Coming Soon, DVD. There's one additional category: Reviews. This seems to be content from Moviefone and AOL-TV's "Unscripted" series. At launch, there were 50 trailers in each category and 40 "reviews". So, there's quite a bit of content for you to digest. Now... if there were just some mechanism to queue the content you wish to see. Nevertheless, a nice app for Google TV viewers.
christopher lettiere
good start/sign the app is alright, but its a great start and also a sign of gtv not being completely dead!! it would be nice to rate titles, likeshare titles (fb, g+, twitter, etc) and organize a queue of sorts.... 08/08/13

To me, it's (obviously) not-a-font, more a graphic. Some alignments and gradients look to fit too much perfectly to be a font.
My 2 cents: start with any generic sans-serif that basically fits your requirements (in this case you could start with Avant-Garde Demi-Bold), "break" it in elementary geometric shapes, extend some strokes, add gradients to each part to create virtual layering effect and finally move up or down some points (mainly center connection of /Y) to adjust with gradients.

text: We heard it was coming, but the launch of Google Drive took us a little by surprise.Google sneaked out its cloud-based storage service out last night, although you suspect it was heard loud and clear at both Dropbox and Microsoft, the latter being the owners of the SkyDrive service. Apple, owners of iCloud, might well have been listening intently too, not least because Google Drive is likely to be coming to iOS soon. But right now the service is geared towards Android devices.You get 5GB of free storage initially, where you can store music, movies, documents, PDFs etc. You can install on a PC or Mac, as well as your Android tablet or smartphone, and you can collaborate with others too, with the option to share content with specific people. That 5GB can go up to 16TB in theory, with Google adding both optical character recognition (OCR) technology and image recognition to help you navigate around a mass of files. Quite useful if you go for that top storage option.However, you do wonder how many will go for that option, as the prices (confirmed for US-only so far) do steadily rise. Yes, free to get you going, but not as you grow. You can upgrade to 25GB for $2.49 per month, 100GB for $4.99 per month, 1TB for $49.99 or 16TB for $799.99. Interestingly, if you sign up for any 'paid' account, you'll also get a boost in Gmail storage to 25GB too.There is a page set up for the service now, but like most new Google products, it is a gradual roll out. You can register an interest at the official site.
