New sleeping tablet may help insomnia
30th November 2012 - An experimental new sleep medication helps insomniacs fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, early data suggests.
Studies reported at a sleep conference last June confirmed the findings about Merck's suvorexant, says Dr Joseph Herring, the company's executive director for clinical neuroscience. Those studies are not yet published, but they form part of Merck's evidence to win approval for the drug.
"What we've seen here and confirmed in [the later studies] is that suvorexant helps people with insomnia fall asleep faster and wake less," Dr Herring, who led the published study, tells us. "It is effective over the long term and well tolerated."
The published study tested whether a range of doses, each given in a sleep lab to about 60 people suffering from insomnia, improved sleep better than an inactive placebo pill. Without knowing which was which, each study participant took either suvorexant or the placebo for four weeks, then switched to the other for another four weeks.
The main study measure was sleep efficiency -- that is, the percentage of an eight-hour night people slept. At the beginning of the study, participants' average sleep efficiency was 66%. After falling asleep, they woke for an average 101 minutes during the night.
"There was a range of results, but generally sleep efficiency improved 5% to 13% compared to placebo," Dr Herring says. "We also found that patients have 21 to 37 minutes less time awake during the night."
Suvorexant doesn't work like other sleeping pills. Current sleep drugs enhance brain functions that increase sleepiness. Suvorexant inhibits orexin, also known as hypocretin, a hormone that acts on the brain to increase wakefulness. Brain levels of orexin are naturally lower during the night.
Professor Adrian Williams, professor of sleep medicine at King's College, London tells us in an email that the findings are "biologically plausible given the wake-promoting central actions of Orexin/Hypocretin" which is "the 'switch' that takes us from sleep to wake".
He says suvorexant appears to fulfil the role of a truly novel agent and that early indications that it has few side effects are encouraging.
The latest study appears in the 4th December issue of the journal Neurology. The study was funded and performed by Merck.

Prepare for Takeoff
By AlpacaLegoMan
I have noticed that Lego has made many improvements in the 2016 Creator line,and this set really proves it. They have started inserting gear boxes and drive shafts in to medium and small sets,and it makes them absolutely great! Some of the awesome features in this set are a great working winch,a really nice snow cat,and cool color scheme. However the best function is a nob on the back that you turn that turns the rotors,it makes it easy to play with and very realistic.This is a very nice set,I haven't built the other two builds but judging by what I've seen they will be just as great.Good job Lego.

Surprising features, great play in 2 variants
By basst82
We got this for my son primarily because he loves helicopters. I was really impressed with the set once we built it. The blades on the copter spin together with a crank, independent of a well built operational hook that comes with locks to keep it from just spinning completely in or out. Even the little snowcat is a great piece with operational tracks. In the secondary snowmobile operation, the look of it is great, and while it's not as "operational" as the copter with the blades, my son has loved playing with it and had just as much fun as with the copter. For the money, this may be the best value set I've ever purchased for him.

Forrester predicts 2010 to be a critical year for IT infrastructure management operations. Seems like enterprises will be heading towards recovery in this post recession era with new project initiatives.
Some of the top priorities of CIOs in 2009 according to Gartner were business process improvement, reducing enterprise costs and increasing enterprise workforce effectiveness. The top few technologies which reined ground were servers and storage technologies, collaboration technologies, networking, voice and data communications, security technologies and technical infrastructure.
Some of the top priorities in 2010 will be:
- Consolidation, virtualization, automation and cloud
- Intelligence around infrastructure management with focus on KPIs and other metrics to monitor and improve performance
- Transformation from tech-silos to service delivery organizations with focus on ITIL frameworks
Everest Group predicts that the Remote Infrastructure Management operations market is expected to touch $8.6B in 2010 while The Yankee Group predicts the managed services market to grow to $10B by end of next year. McKinsey states that between 2008 and 2010 the non labor costs are going to fall by almost 54% as a result of emerging technologies such as virtualization.
In 2010, as the economy comes out of recession, SMBs will be more willing to spend again, but only for solutions that will provide demonstrable bottom and/or top line business benefits. SMBs will spend only if they believe that the investment will help them operate more profitably, grow revenues, increase productivity, save money or gain time-to-market advantages. SMBs are also evaluating and making trade-offs in areas that offer strategic, long-term advantages vs. those that meet more urgent, short-term needs. In many cases, IT investments must also be weighed against requirements for other core goods and services essential to the business.
For the foreseeable future, SMBs' will continue to take a hybrid approach to technology, combining on-premise and public cloud-based solutions to satisfy business requirements. In 2010, vendors will offer a greater range of targeted solutions for hybrid environment requirements to spur SMB interest and traction. Virtual desktops, business continuity/disaster recovery, on-demand computing and storage will feature prominently in vendors' lineups

Civil War Places and Events
The Pilgrim's Pathway
"The Pilgrim's Pathway" - This descriptive title was given to one of the earliest escape corridors into Lancaster County by those coming north along the Susquehanna River. At Peach Bottom, The St. Peters Creek empties into the river. Fugitive slaves followed the creek inland for several miles through dark, lonely ravines. They then left this creek and traveled overland, follwing farm roads. Because they were highly visible, night travel was almost a necessity. A second stream guided them to the safe houses and hideouts along the route to Eastern Lancaster County, Christiana, and eventual freedom. One of these roads retains the name Pilgrim's Pathway.
Like Columbia, Lancaster had a large black population and a number of white residents who supported the abolitionist cause. The city was home to slave self-protection groups and refugee societies that protected fugitives from masters or their agents. Lydia Hamilton Smith, Thaddeus Stevens, and Bethel A.M.E. Church provided assistance on the Underground Railroad by sending fugitives to larger American cities like Philadelphia, or even further, to Canada.
Bethel A.M.E Church
415 East Strwberry Street, Lancaster, 717-396-8381
The African Methodist Episcopal Church was active in the aid of fugitives throughout the North and the Lancaster Bethel A.M.E., Founded in 1817, was no exception. Because of the work of two of its early ministers, Joshua P. Eddy and Robert Boston, the church served as a station on the Underground Railroad as well as the center of spiritual renewal for free African-Americans who lived in the Lancaster community.
Bethel A.M.E. Cemetery
Adjacent to the church is the resting place of soldiers, church pastors, and parishioners. Burials from 1817-1906.

That sounds good. So the "howto" documents (don't necessarily need to be in howto format) should be very concise and point to the background docs for the full story. > > For example, why is the locationmap documentation under "whitepapers" > > instead of under "customise forrest" or "Extend Forrest" > > Problem is that I have not had the time to rewrite all documents to > fit the new/old structure so those that mix instruction and background > may be in the wrong categorie. This will need to be a gradual process. None of us have the time to do it. I imagine that there would be one (sometimes more) background doc for each topic, e.g. locationmap, and there would be various how-to docs for the different situations where locationmap is used. Some howtos might refer to others as pre-requisites so that we don't repeat ourselves. > However, you are right about being used to the old structure because > it was often just as wrong.

Perhaps it would help to add basic how-to docs as placeholders that simply link to the background docs or mail threads. Later we can flesh them out. That might ease the confusion. Does the term "whitepapers" have the same usage for people in other countries? Our Australian dictionary defines "white papers" and "green papers", both government terminology. There are no other usage or meaning listed. [The Macquarie Dictionary, 3rd edition]. * "green paper: proposes policy ... basis for public discussion". * "white paper: statement of policy, presented to parliament as a subject for discussion, prior to or accompanying the introduction of a relevant bill." The bill passes through the lower house, then the upper house, then enacted. W3.org seem to have the same use "subject for discussion". So perhaps we should use a different term. How about just "Background docs" or "Fundamentals". I suppose in reality, opensource is a state of continually evolving whitepapers, never quite enacted. ---oOo--- I see another issue. On the "Project" tab we have a mixture of docs that are procedural stuff for committers (e.g. howto-release, zone-notes) and others that are intended for developers/users (e.g. howto-dev and howto-howto and reporting issues and mail-lists) and others that apply to both (e.g. subversion-bestpractices). Now i don't want to completely separate that stuff, but do want to reduce any distinction. We are all "developers", just that some of us are also helping to manage the project. Perhaps we should rename the Project tab to "Developers" and re-arrange some items on that tab and the Welcome tab. I am making some good progress locally. I will send a screenshot of my proposed layout. -David

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
"Good. You're alive."
They were wry words – awfully blunt – something Remus always examines when they are the first words he hears once a month.
Every month.
"Was I not supposed to be?" croaks Remus hoarsely, blinking rapidly as things come into focus.
There is a long silence when Remus waits for a response and realizes that he can't sit up in his bed. Mostly because he can't move his arms.
His eyes draw sharply over to his shoulders – which are horrifyingly white like a large heavenly cloud – they're draped in thick white pads that are clinging to him like an overly protective pillow.
Remus refrains from gasping and let his eyes grow wide, because he's used to seeing trickles of blood seeping out from bandages, and his bed being a throne for white linens, and even a large assortment of sickening potions assorted at the bedside table like dozens of crispy doughnuts.
But they are never doughnuts.
Remus hopes that they are, and every time he's let down.
"I… It was not expected, Mr. Lupin." Madame Pomfrey's brisk voice breaks through the silence. Someone snorts from the bed next to Remus'.
Ah, Remus thinks. Another one of those close-to-death calls. Those are familiar to him, they always have been, more than three times a year the nurse informs him that his claws were particularly furious that month, and that scratching has never been so lethal.
Remus always just nods.
He's escaped death before – he'll do it again.
Apparently it's his thing.
"You were constantly having visitors," Pomfrey informs him with a sigh, leaning onto another patient's bed and playing with the curtains fondly, "But I couldn't let them in."
At the word 'visitors', Remus' eyes seem to finally open up for the first time in his life, and he feels a small fire pit in the end of his stomach roaring to life for the woman in front of him.
"Why didn't you?!" he demands, politeness blown out of proportion. When it's morning and his head aches, it's nice to have a bubble of contentment by looking into three goofy faces, concern written all over their reassuring smiles.
Madame Pomfrey sighs. "Professor Dumbledore wanted to talk to your friends."
Again, it's not a first. Remus thinks with shrug, but then winces slightly as he feels his shoulder muscles gear out of place with screams of protest.
"I suppose. Are they still talking with him?" Remus asks curiously, hoping that the Healer won't consider this prying and tell him to mind his own business, because even if they are friends – some secrets are better to be kept, and Remus himself should know what she means.
He hates keeping secrets.
"I don't know, Mr. Lupin."
When it comes to the school nurse, I don't know usually means that Remus' friends have troublemaked themselves into half a year of detention. It's the curt answer that sounds better than 'they were being irresponsible goons again, I don't know why you bother with them, Mr. Lupin!', because the nurse's job is to comfort and heal the patients, not make them feel as though they're friends youthful foolishness are their faults.
"I want to see them." Remus persists stubbornly, biting on his lower lip. Madame Pomfrey tuts quietly from the corner, but refrains from giving her patient a stern look. In one swoop she's playing with the potion bottles and shoving one of them into Remus' hands.
"Drink it," she instructs shortly, about to bustle off to another bed, when there's a sharp knock on the door and the nurse turns to face it.
Remus doesn't care; he knows that it's some nice Hufflepuff friend being all loyal and Huffly-Puffy, because that's what Hufflepuffs do, because Sirius and James and Peter know the drill with the wolf, and so visiting every single bloody time is a hassle. Remus didn't need words to figure that out.
He's expecting to see the flash of yellow that indicates a small slice of the brilliantly blinding sun has just entered the Hospital Wing, but instead it's not a Hufflepuff, as Pomfrey scuttles over to the door and peers out of it. With a small peek, she turns sharply to Remus and motions for him to close his blinds. Visitors, friends or Professors, are not supposed to see him in such a state. Questions would arise.
And that would be bad.
He didn't need warnings or words of caution to figure that out either.
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Black, Mr. Potter – he's not in a state to see you right now–"
Remus stops midway in closings his curtains, and yanks them open instead, completely ignoring the burning in his arm muscles at the sudden movement.
He opens his mouth to protest, but Sirius and James are first to retort.
"Is he awake? Then I want to see him."
"That's impossible, Mr. Black–" the nurse says back sternly.
"See, Sirius? I told you that you had killed Remus." James' snappy voice interrupts Pomfrey. Remus hears an indignant huff from Sirius, followed by a worried inquiry.
"He is alive, right? Please tell me he's alive…?" Sirius trails off hopelessly, and Pomfrey nods slowly.
"Of course he is," she says shortly. "But there will no visiting."
"I want to see them!" Remus protests from the bed suddenly, and there's a squeal of delight from outside the doors that is simultaneous from both Sirius and James.
Sirius or James; Remus can't tell, it's just a swish of black hair – try to push their head through the small crack of the door, Pomfrey staring at them incredulously and not shoving their heads out until she recovers from her surprise.
"Out, out, out!" she screams, and Remus shrinks into his pillows, "Come back later!" She slaps the mop of black hair sharply, as though ushering a nasty bug out of the house with a piece of cardboard.
"I want to see him!" Sirius growls from outside, and Remus is sure that he can detect the canine teeth-baring-snarl in Sirius' face from his words. He smiles at the image.
"You are going to overwhelm Mr. Lupin!"
"Then at least just let me in!" James says angrily.
"No, let me in!"
Remus chuckles quietly. Those two, he thinks with a grin. Always acting like five year olds.
"Come on, Sirius, if anyone should be able to see him it should be me!"
"And why is that?" Sirius replies coolly.
"Because you're the one who tried to kill him!"
"Hey!" Sirius shouts back automatically, a sharpness in his voice that is incredibly rare. "I meant to kill Snape, not him! Wait, that's not right – I didn't want to kill anyone! Snape was just being a bastard again!"
"But it's kind of a kill one, kill the other, issue! You know how the Ministry is about… well… them," Remus knows that James was talking about werewolves, but the rest was all foggy to him. Sirius – trying to kill him? "And Remus would have surely gotten expelled. Did you even think, Sirius?"
"No," Sirius grits out. "Don't rub it in, James."
James obviously does not listen. "You are the last person who Remus wants to see right now. I'll be surprised if he'll forgive you!"
"Shut up!"
"Quiet, boys!" Pomfrey shouts exasperatedly. "One at a time."
"I call on going in first." Sirius rambles immediately, and Remus can't help but smile faintly at his competitiveness.
Pomfrey sighs. "All right then."
There's a noise of a strangled owl, which turns out to be James speechlessly arguing.
"Thank you, Madame Pomfrey." Sirius says with relief, and it's the first time Remus remembers the boy being so polite to the nurse.
Sirius walks softly into the Hospital, something in his stance weakening when his eyes fall upon Remus' fully bandaged figure.
"Dear god… isn't Pomfrey treating you for that?" he murmurs hopelessly, pointing to the multiple wounds still bleeding out of the thick pads on Remus' skin.
The werewolf shrugs with his mouth and tilts his head over to his end table which is still holding the arrange of potions.
"Every time I hope that they are doughnuts." Remus confesses, laughing lightly at his own stupidity.
Sirius swoops down beside his bedside. "I would bring you doughnuts, but sadly I don't store them in my pants."
"I didn't expect you to," Remus tells him, and an awkward silence follows uncomfortably. Remus sighs. Sirius avoids his gaze. "What did you do, Sirius?"
Sirius obviously is not expecting this from Remus; Sirius expects Remus to never hear anything that him and James are discussing, even if they're barely a few feet away. It always surprises him when he realizes that Remus has been listening, perhaps all of it, perhaps none at all. And from his facial expression, he doesn't want Remus to know any of it.
"How much did you hear?" he croaks out, staring at Remus' bed curtains.
Remus shrugs. "Not much," he sighs, "Why did you try to kill me, Sirius? My grammar correcting?" there's a small eye widening from Sirius, before he rubs his forehead with his palm and shakes his head hurriedly.
Remus expects a stuttered-out reply, but instead Sirius seems to have lost his vocal cords or perhaps left them outside the door with James, because his mouth is open but all that's coming out is this meek 'meh'.
"The fact that I criticize some of your pranks?" Remus supplies helpfully. Another shake of the head.
"Is my monthly problem becoming a problem for you?"
There's a silence that is interrupted dramatically by a gong going off in both of their heads, and Remus knows that he's hit a nerve; he's plucked the right guitar string, pressed the button.
The button to Sirius' rare and golden silence.
Part of Remus wishes that he would never have pressed it – never have seen it, preferably – but ignoring it is long gone.
"I…" Sirius begins.
"Is my monthly problem becoming a hassle for you? Too much of a risk? Too dangerous? Too painful?" it surprises Remus greatly that Sirius hasn't told him yet to shut up. Instead there's just a lot of head shaking going on Sirius' part and perhaps even pools of sorrow forming in his eyes.
It's basically an hour of just staring fixedly in the other direction, before Sirius answers quietly.
"I didn't try to kill you," he says slowly, lowering himself beside the bed, "I would never do that to you. And I'm sorry."
"I told you that I didn't hear everything, Sirius, what even happened?" Remus asks hopelessly. Sirius buries his face in his hands.
"I messed up," his stifled voice responds, "It was… just stupid, I didn't mean to do it all," he takes a rattling breath. "Snape got into the Whomping Willow."
Remus checks to make sure that he isn't hallucinating or even hearing things, and blinks several times, begging for the atmosphere to change into Saturday morning, a bad, bad dream. But Sirius is still sitting there, and he's still aching all over.
And that's when the dread and pain all start multiplying. Panic, worry, fright, and he all conceals it underneath his skin.
"And I'm the one who told him."
Another gong goes off, and the loud snore from the bed nearby completely silences it again, which Remus is rather glad for. The werewolf closes his eyes in slight pain, and he can tell that it bothers Sirius because Sirius doesn't know if that pain is being directed to him or his multiple wounds.
Remus swiftly thinks of the consequences of Sirius' actions, because there always is something whether Sirius is trying to do good or not. Perhaps Remus is expelled, perhaps Sirius is, perhaps Snape is dead, perhaps Remus is a murdered, it's a lot of perhaps and a whole little of confirmation.
Sirius awkwardly waits for his friend to say something, but the werewolf remains silent as a stone while he contemplates the situation.
"You did nothing, Remus." The black-haired boy finally mumbles, putting a comforting hand on Remus' bandage of a shoulder. He hopes that he's answering one of the questions that he knows is running through the other boy's mind.
Remus wants to raise his eyebrows inquiringly, but instead, to avoid some flinching, he gives Sirius a Questioning Look. It works.
"Snape's fine, I promise. James – James helped him out."
There's another silence. Things are falling into place now, as Remus plays the conversation from the door in his head again. He looks up, not bothering to brush his hair from his eyes. Sirius' hand goes up for a moment, before it stops and sways contemplatively. It goes back down to Sirius' side.
"I'm sorry, Moony."
"It's… okay. I'm too drowsy to really be mad at you, and why should I?" Remus asks softly.
"I don't deserve your forgiveness."
"Don't be modest." Remus drawls, "I like you better when you defend yourself."
Sirius smiles hesitantly. "I – thanks." He says. "I want to hug you, but… but I don't know where there aren't any bandages."
The tawny-haired boy laughs, and gives a mental scour of his body. "The hugging can wait." He extends a hand to Sirius, who takes it. "Don't feel sorry. Whatever you did it for, it must have been important." He squeezes his friend's hand reassuringly.
"You swear?"
"On Merlin's underpants." Remus murmurs, his voice in a monotone drill. "If I'm not expelled and Snape is alive and you're not punished too badly then please, Sirius, promise me that you won't tell me any more about this. I don't want to know, I don't want to hear about it."
This seems to be enough reassurance for Sirius, who smiles broadly and ruffles his hair. He practically looks like his tail his wagging.
A stifled voice murmurs half-heartedly from the door, a bit like a bored puppy eager to play, "Can I talk to him now, Sirius?" James asks impatiently. Madame Pomfrey shoots the door a lethal look even though it's closed and James has never possessed x-ray vision.
"Just a moment, James." Remus calls, before flicking his glance to Sirius again. Gently squeezing the fingers nestled in his palm, he smiles. "Sirius, how could you think I hate you? Me not forgiving you would make me responsible for breaking up the Marauders, and I don't want that to happen on my behalf or anyone else's, for that matter. I don't blame you for this. I blame myself."
Sirius shakes his head firmly, "Moony, this never would've happened if I hadn't been a complete bastard–"
"I'm the one who's the werewolf. This blame is not on your shoulders, Sirius. If Snape would've died, I'd have been the one walking away a murderer. Not you."
There is a tense silence where Remus can tell that Sirius doesn't know what to say anymore. Remus speaks up instead.
"If anything, I'm honored that you told me about the incident first thing in my morning. It was very selfless of you. If you wouldn't have said anything, I definitely would have been mad at you. Sometimes the cruelest lies are told in silence, you know."
An insistent pounding begins rhythmically rapping on the door. Remus grins at how loyal his friends are, and gently tugs his hand away from Sirius' grasp. He cocks his head towards the door.
"Now go and let James talk to me." He says with a meaningful smile.
And despite the fact that Sirius has just betrayed his trust and nearly cooked up a recipe for a murder, this is the moment when Remus realizes he's in love with Sirius. That in spite of all of his flaws and mistakes and misdoings, Remus will always be able to forgive him. He can never avoid Sirius' face for more than an hour and he can never stay mad at him for longer than a minute either.
Being in love meant never having to say sorry, and that is probably why Remus never asked for an apology.
"Please, mum, we have to!"
"We have to do nothing except for mop the kitchen, Remus," his mother scolds sharply and gives Remus a stern look.
Remus frantically runs his shaking hands through his hair, dancing a little on his feet. "Mum, please, it's not that far away! C'mon, mum, I'm begging you!"
Mrs. Lupin sighs, pursing her lips and ruffling the sheets as she folds them neatly in her wrinkled hands. "Take this to the sock drawer, Remus." She hands him a pile of colorful, folded socks all balancing precariously on top of one another.
"But mum–"
Remus grabs the socks and dashes off to the drawer before returning, windswept, once again. "Mum, this is important–"
"Remind me again who this big fuss is all about? Your friend?"
"Sirius! Mum, he went to James' because there's been some big family problem! Please, mum, it could be really important! What if Sirius has been abused, or almost killed, or poisoned?"
"Remus, dear, all of those three fall under the same category."
Groaning, Remus places his hands firmly around the hamper and stares fixedly into it. He grits his teeth.
"Mum, this means something to me. Please?" he begs, a little bit more desperately and hopelessly and kicked-and-lost-puppy-like.
"Fine." Mrs. Lupin agrees reluctantly, "but don't take long and don't be a burden to the Potters."
Remus is already stocked with his coat and shoes, bursting from the door in a second's time.
Sirius is sitting, drenched with rainwater and mud, on James' bedspread, rattling off the whole tale of what got him in the Potter Residence in the first place. James doesn't mind that bits of mud are crumbling off of Sirius in the process and rain is soaking his sheets, because what use is a clean bed when there's a friend in need? Besides, James has always been one to not bother with sanitation.
Sirius breathlessly pants out another portion of the story, waving his arms articulately and elaborately. His skin is practically frozen and his clothes are sticking to his flesh. It's uncomfortable, so without a second thought he peels off his shirt but leaves his pants on. James, still, doesn't care. He's seen Sirius without his shirt on during Quidditch practices and in the dormitory back at school. He's just waiting for the rest of the story.
"–and then she shrieked for me to never show my face in this house again or she would burn me just like she will my name on the family tapestry, and how I am a disgrace to the Black name and how she should have known that a Black in Gryffindor would be trouble from the beginning – can I take off my shoes? – and then I grabbed my broom and my trunk and I ran with my mother throwing vases at me as I walked out the door. And with my luck, there was a thunderstorm – bloody hell, these damn shoelaces are hard to untie when they're wet!"
Just then, Mrs. Potter knocks politely on the door and without waiting for a response, peers in with beady eyes. Owlishly, she scans the room, wincing when her eyes fall upon the way her son's friend has soiled the sheets.
"Hey, Mrs. Potter," Sirius greets unenthusiastically, but still managing a friendly smile.
Consolingly, Mrs. Potter sighs and walks into the room. "You poor, poor boy. What has that family done to you, Sirius?"
"Uh… I'd say disinherit is about right, mum." James answers dryly. Sirius considers this – yes, he'd never gotten along with his family except for on occasions, Regulus, but he never has been abused or disowned. Now he has. It's a nasty feeling, to know that your flesh-and-blood family has disinherited their firstborn.
"Are you hungry, dear? Do you want to borrow some of James' clothes? We have plenty of room and lots of hospitality so you're welcome to stay."
"Cor!" James yells eagerly, jumping on the bed, "we would be roommates outside of school, mate!"
Sirius manages a faint grin, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Potter."
Just then, the clear sound of the doorbell ringing wafts up the stairs and Mrs. Potters dashes to answer it.
A despondence to his air, rarely ever seen compared to his bright and bouncy self, Sirius sighs and stares at his lap, "I'd just never thought that this is the way I'd end it with my family." Carefully, he wipes at the blood trickling from the cut on his forehead, but as his hand travels down his face his fingers linger at his eye to brush away the beads of tears.
"Are you all right, Padfoot?"
Sirius nods forcefully, feigning a smile in his friend's direction.
"James, another one of your friends is here." James' mother announces from downstairs.
James bounces up from the bed, darting to the window to peek out from the curtains. He frowns, tilting his head, "But Wormtail said that he wouldn't be able to come this weekend. And Remus' mother is really stingy about where he goes–"
Sirius exhales a breath, "Moony's here." He smiles as the door opens downstairs and besides a mumbled greeting, Remus races up the stairs and crashes through the door.
"Sirius!" he shouts, and before he can help himself, Remus is gathering the boy in a tight embrace which Sirius can barely breathe from.
"Moony, go easy on him." James advises from the window.
"What have those bastards at home done to you, Sirius? Are you okay?"
Sirius grins at how concerned his friend is, despite the fact that Remus is half torn apart each month and acts completely fearless in the morning. To that, Sirius barely has a scratch on his body.
"I'm fine, Remus," Sirius confirms, smiling as Remus grabs his elbows and worriedly examines his eyes, "my family wasn't bad."
"Did they hurt you?" the werewolf asks urgently.
"Barely," Sirius answers, "nothing hurts, Moony. But I don't live there anymore."
"They disowned you?!" Remus cries, outraged.
"I guess you could say that. My family disinherited me."
But Remus vigorously shakes his head, kneeling up to grab Sirius' face in his hands. "No, Sirius," he says, "they're not your family. We are your family."
And as Remus hugs him again, Sirius can't help but feel warmer. He never lost the Blacks as a family, because they never truly were. He wraps his arms around Remus' back and thinks with a smile, the Marauders will always be family.
And this was the moment that as the werewolf's breath tickles his neck, he realizes that he's in love with Remus Lupin. He knows that the pain down in his soul is the same down in Remus'.
AN: This was a request from Veterization, which was supposed to include both Sirius' and Remus' accounts of how they fell in love with each other despite the fact that they're not a couple. I'm terribly sorry that this took so long. I've been so busy with schoolwork lately, and since the end of the year is nearing my teachers are pounding on the work harder than ever so we don't get caught up in summer fantasies. I still have like… well, a lot of requests left. But don't worry, because I'm basically half done with all of them AND I have chapter twelve of GDDT close to completion. :D Love to you all!

These last several months have been all over the board with Amex pulling out of all shopping portals back in September. That was only temporary as American Express once again returned to most shopping portals at the start of October. Cash back rates since then have been up and down with several one-day sales but overall they have been averaging lower than previously. Amex gift cards have also become harder to liquidate with many online gift card sites blocking the use of Amex gift cards to purchase Visa gift cards. But for many this has still remained a staple in their manufactured spending arsenal.
I just received some bad news from a friend on the inside. It appears as if American Express is once again pulling the plug on shopping portal rebates from the purchase of Amex gift cards. This will be effective starting Saturday, December 20th. So if you planned on using this method to generate some spending on your accounts you had better act fast. Tomorrow will be the last day to earn cash back on American Express gift cards.

When My Writing Just Has To Wait
It Is Just Not Going To Happen No matter How Hard I try
I start to write and all the words are spelled wrong
It is because for some strange reason I keep moving my hands to far to the left and every key is typed incorrect
When my eyes see spots that are not there
It has to be from steering at the overhead light looking for a bug
When my cat plops infront of me and his big butt covers my keys
My wife calls me to come and eat and I have stalled her twice
Now I know I have to go or else I have to face the silent treatment
Then explain why and why again
It is just not worth it in the end
When I have to get up early for work and I am need of some serious sleep
To my surprise we have to go to a party,out to eat or somewhere else I forgot
The occasional we have to leave early so we won't be late do to holiday traffic or an unexpected accident
A good t.v. program my wife taped for me I don't want to miss
Any number of chores that interfere with what I am trying to do here
A loss of power that ends any chance of writing unless the power comes back
I just sit and wait and wait
The occasional honey come here I am sure you want to stop typing....???
Then ofcourse the end is near when the silly little computer freezes up
So don't feel bad there will be a better time to type all the comments and stories that are waiting
Now is just not the time or the place to write
Life just gets in the way sometimes huh
Nice excuses for not doing what you love to do.
I think we all fall into the "mistake category." It is just another job to do.
UP and AWESOME. You said it... There just are not enough hours in the day and it´s not our fault.!!!!

Since most of you have been good boys this year, Santa left you a hairy present under your Gay Demon Christmas tree. And what better way to spend Christmas than snuggled up in bed with a hairy bear like Mark Bell. What a handsome man! Mark is a 31-year-old hairy man from Atlanta, Georgia. When he strips out of his clothes for us, he's bearing a solid, beefy hairy body. He lies back on his bed wearing nothing but his baseball cap. Follow that hairy patch on his chest down his soft belly, and let your eyes gaze on that big, meaty cock of his. It's a cock sucker's dream cum true - deliciously big, but not too big that you can't enjoy it all. And take a look at those big, bull balls of his. This hairy man is packing a mighty big load in those huge nuts of his, and he's just waiting for the right man to share it with. Come to Bear Films and spent Christmas with Mark.
To all our friends who visit us, Gay Demon would like to wish everyone all the best of the season. We're happy that you've chosen to spend some of it with us. Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noel!

I have a server who users are all of the sudden not able to reach by name. at first i thought it just needed a DNS record update but look in the foward and reverse lookup zones and the records are available and doing an nslookup by IP returns the FQDN. If i ping to the FQDN I can reach it. however if i just use the common name it fails giving me an error
"pinging (commonname) [0.0.0.0] with 32 bytes of data:"
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
Destination specified is invalid.
To add some more info, I have logged onto the server to verify that it has the right ip and it does however i cannot ping itself by name either. I have done a flush dns on both my machine and the server and that has not helped. Even more strange is that I can add a static entry to the hosts file with the correct IP and name and it still fails from the server. If I add a static ip of the loopback it of course works.
Is there something basic i am missing here?
Thanks in advanced spice heads for your help.

Are you running WINS somewhere on another server? Check the WINS Server record to see if it is correct.
Sep 16, 2010 at 8:37 UTC
Check for an IP conflict on your network.
Sep 16, 2010 at 8:44 UTC
Connection-specific DNS suffix? Maybe post a screenshot of the DNS tab of the server and a client?
Sep 16, 2010 at 9:09 UTC
Another vote for looking for IP conflicts. I had a similar situation with a server once; a user's laptop had gotten the same IP.
Sep 16, 2010 at 9:56 UTC
You said that users all of a sudden can't get to it, so I'm going to guess that they could a day or so ago?
In that type of issue, my first thing to check would be that the client is getting the right DNS suffix from your DHCP server. (like David said)
You should also try looking up the common name against all of your DNS servers. (nslookup commonname ipofdnsserver) to see if its only one DNS server thats giving you the issue or multiple.
We have one on campus that refuses to resolve the address for our main file server even though all of the DNS servers are active directory integrated and the others can resolve no problem.
Sep 16, 2010 at 10:17 UTC
Softek Solutions INC is an IT service provider.
It is static ip, but it is a VM that is frequently copied for development and testing so the idea of the IP address confilct is not far fetched and very possible. I looked into both the wins and ipconflict possibility and neither were the issue. However in my lack of responsible troubleshooting I didn't check my hosts file. I am using a loaner laptop this week and in the host file an engineer had set 0.0.0.0 as the ip for the common name. I have caught this before but apparently this morning my troubleshooting skills have failed me. I guess I was eager to reach out to my SW community for help since they have become my goto guys.
Thanks everyone for your help!

We all make little mistakes like that :)
Glad you got it figured out.

Antics, is that the kid from Earthbound cause if so that's cool. As for Mr. Finley I was going to answer but it looks like you have all ready ruled out the possiblilities I was going to suggest.

Title: Long Walk Original Manuscript (Image #621)
Transcript: African Tour:
(Note: This has to be incorporated in the appropriate place).
Under the conditions in which I write this account I have no acces whatsoever to material relevant to African socialism, especially to the works of Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, George Padmore, Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure, Leopold Senghor and D'Aboussier and others. My remarks will accordingly not be a critical comment on any specific views that have been expressed by any particular individual on the subject.
As I understand it there is as yet no widely accepted exposition of African socialism and African scholars and thinkers have produced a diversity of ideas unrelated to one another except in name only. Some varieties of the concept are no more than capitalism wrapped up with the name socialism. Others are systems of ideas that are skillfully presented but bear little relation to objective truth and scientific experience. Nevertheless African socialism is an attempt to build a social system distinct from capitalism with its division of society into classes and is a move towards some measure of nationalisation of the various sectors of the economy. To that extent it is a progressive idea which we should welcome and encourage. It shows that the people of Africa rightly link colonial oppression with capitalism and its evils and are determined not to perpetuate in their own countries a social order which has caused so much human suffering.

JetBlue's Steven Slater Gets Reality Show Offer
Yesterday, TMZ reported that Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who gave us courage to quit our jobs and run naked down the beach next to Pamela Anderson in righteous glory and freedom, was offered a spot as a host of a reality TV show. If he accepts the deal, he'll coach other disgruntled employees on the importance of dramatic exits and sticking it to their bosses by taking two of their favorite beverages from their personal coolers, and educating them that the best place to glue a thumbtack to a chair isn't actually in the middle: but rather in all four corners!
Slater held a press conference last Thursday where he said he'd like to return to work, presumably as something to do when he's not on the beach or hanging out with Barry Manilow (I'm more serious about that than getting an F on a Civil Rights test). JetBlue hasn't hired him back because they refuse to believe the Village People will never be (and have never been) any good.
But this story is far from over! Today, RadarOnline learned Slater hired Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman to sort his mail into the categories of "potential endorsements," "Hollywood opportunities," and "up and coming airline and/or airplane puns that can be used in other occupations." Also among Bragman's duties is the responsibility of making sure, if the reality show opportunity is real, Slater navigates the waters as deftly as the Oscar Meyer Mobile would going down his plane's inflated slide. On his Facebook page (and probably on his MySpace, too), Bragman stated, "I can officially confirm that I am now representing Steven Slater. While my work will include media relations, my team at Fifteen Minutes and I will also be helping him sort out the scores of offers that have come through in the past week from media, producers, brands and other interested parties. I very much believe that Steven touched a nerve with the American people and am proud to be helping him tell his story at the appropriate time in the appropriate way."
He certainly HAS resonated with us! The economy, the impending mosque near Ground Zero, and a sequel to Nanny McPhee has made us not wanna take it anymore. Clearly, we have an ally in our quest to swipe beer from our employers, while causing a scene, while flipping the birds to everyone who's too lazy to drive from Philadelphia to New York.

The life of an American (or for that matter, anyone who lives in Western Culture) is categorized by many as something that includes family, friends, a job, and hopefully some time for fun. Unfortunately, the attempt to juggle all of these life-facets leaves little time for the cultivation of a relationship with self. Of course, all of these aspects of one's life can be used as material to better get to know oneself. That said, if a person doesn't have a dedicated practice in which to do so, this journey might be left untaken.
Delia Quigley, in her latest Care 2 post, explores the juggling act that many Americans face in their attempt at self exploration. According to Quigley, meditation is the key to taking this journey. Regardless of one's life, a person must make time to self reflect.
Of course, you need to take time away from the world to go deeper into your practice, but the point is that you use your life as your practice, connecting all the dots, which lead you to communion with God. True spirituality is not just about attending church on Sunday and then spending the rest of the week fighting with your family and cheating your competition at work. It is difficult and arduous work, and it takes a focused mind to stay the course in our over-stimulated culture.
As a householder, you will face many distractions in your spiritual quest. You need to earn a living, spend time with your family and provide for their material comforts, and find time to do yoga and meditate. The purpose of meditation is to free the mind from attachment. As a householder, you must be willing to completely give up your attachment to the world of ambition, envy, romance, lust for power, greed, hatred and the many other temptations you encounter in life.
Read more from Quigley on how to use meditation to help enrich an already full life here.

On my way to work, I took a different path from what I usually took on weekdays. Instead of taking subway, I took a bus from home which led me to this pedestrian.
The trees were barren...with no leaves...which somehow only accentuated the presence of winter.
..then...passing the hangeul walls along the office corridors.
one man was sitting on the wall.
it turned out to be a statue!
My favorite spot I spotted that morning was none other than these rows of rental bikes waiting for the thrill-seekers in the park.
It was about 9.45 a.m.when I passed the park...so the mist and stuff were still vividly intact.
Approaching my workplace...where a line up of restaurants and cafes were yet to open. Parasols were still folded.^^
One of my favorite places to eat:
On my way home.....passing another facade of business district.

Students of Romanian studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Romanian textbooks – for example Teach Yourself Romanian Complete Course by [Dennis Deletant, Yvonne Alexandrescu], and Eyewitness Travel Phrasebook: Romanian by [DK Publishing] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Romanian is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Romanian books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Romanian classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

I believe Randal was using the word disingenuous to refer to the "Couch" word being used in Couchbase's competing but incompatible CouchDB-like product. Our brand's good will is being used to help market this product, which would be fine if it was a complimentary product or service, and didn't damage our project in the process. I don't care to hear from Couchbase marketing. I do care to hear from marketing, because I think Clouchbase have a marketing problem, and I would love to initiate a dialog with them about the best way forward to better delineate our two products. > It's inappropriate to publicly state one's intentions to seek legal advice > on infringement matters Why? All we're doing is asking "hey, something's doesn't feel right here, should we seek advice on this?" The law is there to protect us, and it's perfectly reasonable to frame any discussions within that context. Would you consider it inappropriate to discuss a licence violation that someone had spotted in the wild? It is in no way inappropriate to state one's intentions to seek legal advice. It is a very regular occurrence within the open source world.

The ASF legal-discuss mailing list is public. cf. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/ > especially while in the same thread demanding that the other party respond I don't think that anyone has demanded anything. It is clear to me that there are a few people, both on this thread and off, that wish for some kind of response from Couchbase, or for us to instigate contact with them. > It's deliberately inflammatory, and foolish. This thread has been very civil. There's been no provocative (in the sense of inflammatory) remarks, and no stirring up of passions. Couchbase is posing a problem for our community. That's a simple fact, as is evidenced by a number of first hand reports. Nobody has said "Couchbase is intentionally harming our community" or "the people at Couchbase are intentionally harming our community." In fact, quite the opposite. We've been very clear all along that this isn't an attack on Couchbase. Nobody is out to "get" Couchbase. We just want to work with them to sort out this problem that I am sure they feel just as painfully as we do.

"This post was sponsored by RoC® Skincare as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review."
If you remember a few weeks ago, I told you about trying the new RoC® RETINOL RESOLUTION
night cream. I have been using it for a little while now and I wanted to share with you my initial thoughts about the product.
If you can tell from any of my photos I post on Instagram, it is that I have laugh wrinkles around me eyes — and if I am REALLY tired, I have wrinkles right under the bottom of my eyes as well.
I have a lot of wrinkles in those spots and I am only 41! I should not be having those at my age. So I was excited to give it a try and see how it could help me in those areas.
First off, I loved that this night time skin care cream involved Retinol. RETINOL is the #1 dermatologist-recommended cosmetic anti-aging ingredient and can improve the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles. It's an essential part of a skin care regimen to help collagen-depleted skin.
Before using this, I wasn't really that keen on doing anything to my face, but now I am loving the results. My fine lines and wrinkles are slowly going away and I have never been happier!
This was just a few days after using it. The deep wrinkles around my eyes seemed to be filling in and looking more like the rest of my face, and I also noticed that the wrinkles around my nose looked better as well.
RoC® RETINOL is up to 2x stronger than imitators based on vitro RETINOL activity in RoC® RETINOL CORREXION® Deep Wrinkle Night Cream.
And this was just the other day! See the amazing difference? I am SO glad I found this night cream and I will continue using it for as long as I am having wrinkle issues.
Board Certified New York Dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman says —
"Overnight your skin works to repair itself, so it's important to have a good bedtime facial routine. RoC® RETINOL CORREXION® Deep Wrinkle Night Cream is clinically proven and contains a mix of pure retinol and an essential mineral complex, which is designed to work through the night to help reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles."

Chris Farley Lives... Somewhere in The Division
Gamers found the character living (where else?) in a van down by the river.
A new Easter Egg discovered in The Division, the latest Tom Clancy post-apocalyptic massive multiplayer online game, appears to be a tribute to the late, great Chris Farley.
In the game's Echoes, which are reconstructions of past events, players can see holograms of people from the past. An eagle-eyed Redditor noticed that one character's details said he "Lives in a van down by the river," an obvious tribute to the hilarious Matt Foley, motivational speaker, character from Farley's SNL days.
Other Easter Eggs players have discovered in The Division include Walter White and Jesse Pinkman of Breaking Bad and the fence-jumping scene from Shaun of the Dead.

I love August. We go on holidays, it's those lazy days of summer, and it's when John and I fell in love, and when we got married.
I knew from our first date that he'd be my husband. I can't really explain how, and trust me, many people have wanted a detailed explanation of how I knew. I can't give it to ya. I just knew. Over the years we've covered all the bases when it came to those vows we made so long ago...sickness, health, better, worse, rich, poor....we have covered them all. We've weathered job losses, career changes, mortgages, kids, and many naysayers. It's easy for marriages to fall into a predictable rhythm, and far too easy for things to be taken for granted. The defining moment for us-and a wake up call, came in the form of an illness.
My worst fears were realized one February morning. A cold had made it's way through our house, and within three days John ended up in the hospital because he couldn't breathe. There were no beds available, and so I left him in one area of the hospital with the promise from a nurse that he'd be in a proper room the next morning. What happened next was right out of a tv show.
The next morning, after dropping Kevin off at school, I went to the hospital to see John. I rounded the corner of where I had left him the night before, and stopped in my tracks. The spot was completely empty. No bed. No John. Patients who were also in the room were looking at me strangely with sad eyes, as if they knew something I didn't.
"Oh, you found him a bed?" I smiled at the nurse hopefully.
"No. ICU. Third Floor." she snapped back. I blinked. The blood drained from my face. Did she say ICU? No. It can't be. He's fine. He just had a cold. I realized that I had been standing there with my mouth hanging open. An elderly woman in the bed next to where John was looked at me sadly, her eyes filled with tears. My former experience with an ICU was in the in the form of my two year old nephew only the year before, clinging to life after being hit by a car. The memory was too fresh.
I found out later that John had stopped breathing and they had to preform CPR on him that morning, causing a ruckus worthy of the tv show ER. The other patients in his room, including the nurses, had assumed that he had died. I could see it on their faces.
The elevator I found myself in was empty, and I clung to the sides like a life raft. A feeling of impending doom overwhelmed me. No. This can't be happening. It was just a cold. He can't die. He just can't. I forced myself to breathe slowly when I realized that I was hyperventilating, and said a quick prayer. When I stepped off the elevator, I was the picture of calm, while inside I felt like I was watching someone else's tragedy unfold in slow motion. This can't be happening.
John survived the day, but it was very close. We weren't told just how close until later, but we knew. The nurses recounted how they couldn't believe how calm and gentle we were with each other that day, choosing to use humour to cope with the situation instead of dissolving under the stress. There was nothing else we could do, and damn it, if it was my last moments with John they were going to be good ones, not me dissolving into a heap.
It turns out that John didn't have a cold ,but had inhaled a rare tropical fungus (read about it here)that was present in the trees where we had been hiking months before, which had multiplied and clogged his lungs. The few people who had the same illness didn't survive. It took a week in the ICU before he was allowed to come home, and a full year for his lungs to recover. Years later he still physically suffers the effects from that day.
We've never forgotten that day, but the effects on us are far more positive. Nobody is taken for granted, and every day, through jobs, kids, and the mundane things of life.....every single day....I'm just grateful he's still here.

This app is designed to be used in conjunction with the ProChrono Digital chronograph (model CEI-3800) and the Digital Link Bluetooth accessory (model CEI-3812). It provides a modern user interface for controlling the chronograph as well as collecting and managing the velocity data. Now you can connect wireless to your chronograph using a tablet or smartphone!
Wonderful addition to the ProChrono. Makes saving shot data effortless, especially when working up loads to make Power factor. In fact it calculates that immediately with each shot and calculates all the relevant info. I noticed the older version didn't quite keep the phone on and the Bluetooth would drop if the phone went to sleep. I'll have to keep an eye out of the latest version does a better Job of it.
I haven't had any issues and it has work each and every time. Sometimes the chrono missed a round but that's not the apps fault. I sent an email with some suggestions and CE incorporated them into the most recent upgrade. You're lucky to get a return email from other manufacturers these days, much less than the excellent support you get from CE.
Hopefully bug fixes to eliminate the communication error with blue tooth - if phone screen shuts down the unit loses contact with phone. Other than that, keep adding features
Please keep updating this great app. I was wishing for duplicate of list entries. Now if you can add reloading fields that would fantastic
It would be cool if you could attach a target picture to a string of shots
Love this app! People at the range always ask about it and amazed by what it can do.
Works well and does what it should.
Provides great information for tweeting your reloads and making sure you make the PF you're looking for.
Nice addition for my ProChono. With the latest software update, it has a much better export feature. It exports a summary in PDF,CSV or TXT format to the phone. I can then hook the phone up USB to my laptop and copy the pdf's. You also have the ability to export using email. The summary has a nice layout of all the information you need including ES,SD,AV and also provides the feature of inserting notes and any pertinent load information. I especially like not having to worry about getting past the bench to control the ProChrono. Easy to use and well worth the money.
While I was disappointed with the wired computer interface due to its complexity and how awkward data transfer was, this Bluetooth app does Everything brilliantly and (dare I say) intuitively. Bravo! And no wires! Great update for your chrono!
This is a great addition to the prochrono. It makes it much easier to keep track of shots and run numbers.
