|"The problem of contemporary sculpture and the garden is one which has rankled in my mind for years. It is usually resolved through a process of inversion-that is turning it into sculpture in the garden as against garden sculpture. By that I mean the sculptor takes over the garden as an open exhibition gallery, of which the focus is their creation, to which the world of nature merely provides the frame.The Idea that sculpture is a contributory element to an overall'mise en scene',in which, sometimes its role may be incedental rather than central, has been lost.In this we have seen the betrayall of the great tradition of garden sculpture, one which was unashamed at being decorative or delightful."

When discussing sciatica it is important to understand the underlying medical cause of the sciatica symptoms, as effective treatment will focus on addressing the root cause of the pain.
6 most common causes of sciatica
There are 6 lower back problems that are the most common causes of sciatica:
- Read more: Lumbar Herniated Disc
Lumbar herniated disc
A herniated disc is sometimes referred to as a slipped disc, ruptured disc, bulging disc, protruding disc, or a pinched nerve. Sciatica is the most common symptom of a lumbar herniated disc.
- Read more: Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Degenerative disc disease
Degenerative disc disease is diagnosed when a weakened disc results in excessive micro-motion at that spinal level, and inflammatory proteins from inside the disc become exposed and irritate the nerve root(s) in the area.
- Read more: Isthmic Spondylolisthesis
- Read more: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Definitive Guide
- Read more: What is Piriformis Syndrome?
- Read more: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SI Joint Pain)
Isthmic spondylolisthesis
With a combination of disc space collapse, the fracture, and the vertebral body slipping forward, the nerve can get pinched and cause sciatica.
Lumbar spinal stenosis
The condition typically results from a combination of one or more of the following: enlarged facet joints, overgrowth of soft tissue, and a bulging disc placing pressure on the nerve roots, causing sciatica pain.
Piriformis syndrome
This is not a true radiculopathy (the clinical definition of sciatica), but the leg pain can feel the same as sciatica caused by a nerve irritation.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
The leg pain can feel the same as sciatica caused by a nerve irritation.
In This Article:
More causes of sciatica
In addition to the most common causes, a number of other conditions can cause sciatica, including:
- Pregnancy. The changes that the body goes through during pregnancy, including weight gain, a shift on one's center of gravity, and hormonal changes, can cause sciatica during pregnancy.
- Scar tissue. If scar tissue compresses the nerve root, it can cause sciatica.
- Muscle strain. In some cases, inflammation related to a muscle strain can put pressure on a nerve root and cause sciatica.
- Spinal tumor. In rare cases, a spinal tumor can impinge on a nerve root in the lower back and cause sciatica symptoms.
- Infection. While rare, an infection that occurs in the low back can affect the nerve root and cause sciatica.
It is important to know the underlying clinical diagnosis of the cause of sciatica, as treatments will often differ depending on the cause.
For example, specific sciatica exercises, which are almost always a part of a treatment program, will be different depending on the underlying cause of the symptoms.

I've said many times the Roland TR-808 is the king of all drum machines. It has the sharpest deepest kick with the most attack, snares and hats that sound like lighting and a sequencer that makes any beat sound incredible. I love this machine so much I think I subconsciously liked songs because they had an 808 on them (all before I even knew what a Roland TR-808 was!). I love this video above where a bunch of classics with 808 drums were recreated on an Korg Electribe SX. I own everyone one of these songs on 12″.
Here's a few ways into 808 land: AcidLab Miami (German recreation) $1399, GoldBaby The Tape808 (samples) $24, D16 Nepheton (virtual plug-in recreation) 139 EUR
"Recreations, again by ear, of some classic early 80s beats that were originally made on a Roland TR-808 drummachine. This became the signature sound for freestyle music and later for house. Mantronix – 808 Beats, Shannon – Let the Music Play, Freeez – IOU, Man Parrish – Hip Hop Bebop, GLOBE & Whiz Kid -.

Today I have am asking you guys for a bit of help. Normally a Google search is all I need to find out anything I need to know but I'm a little stumped on this one. I joined Facebook before they had "Fan Pages". So like with MySpace when people who liked my music wanted to friend me I gladly obliged. I did set up a Facebook Group but I could not simultaneously update my profile and the Group so it was useless really. Today I have a lot of Facebook friends.
Here is the problem I am having: I get a lot of emails "to the members of" pertaining to an upcoming techno event. I never joined to be a member of any of these groups/events. Some of the emails are from actual friends (like Reade Truth). I don't want to unfriend him. I only want to stop receiving those types of event notifications from him. Some of the emails are from people I friended who I didn't know (thinking they were fans). I could unfriend them but if they are genuinely interested in following my updates I don't want to be rude. Lastly, I get "to the members of" event notifications from people who are not my friends at all.
I've gone into My Account -> Notifications and unclicked everything I can imagine would be causing the issue. I set up some Gmail rules so Facebook notifications skip my inbox and go into a Facbook folder but I still have to weed through 15+ "to the members of" emails per day. So what's really going on here? Any help would be appreciated!

I'd like an installation like this permanently in my living room. Created in Berlin by Joerg Piringer he calls this work [untitled] and describes it as "an interactive sound poetry installation". Be sure to check out Joerge's other interesting installations too. I like the one's that spit out random Twitter feeds.
"the visitors speak, shout and cry into a microphone to evoke a dynamic world of letters and vocal sounds. image and sound are created immediately by speaking and vocalizing into a microphone and modifying the voice through signal processing while the software is analyzing the sound to create animated abstract visual text-compositions." – jörg piringer

Here's a great video from the Sasquatch Music Festival 2009 (watch until the end for the good stuff). James over at Synthtopia titled this video, "If You're Doing A Live Show, Make Sure You Invite This Guy.". I agree 100%. This reminds me of the movie Defending Your Life. The basic moral of the movie is that you only live once so stop worrying what other people think of you. I'm such a tightly wound person I think of think of this stuff a lot. I'm always trying to remember that most people are just concerned with their own lives, no one really cares what the hell you are doing so enjoy your time without shame.
"Yuppie Daniel Miller is killed in a car accident and goes to Judgment City, a waiting room for the afterlife. During the day, he must prove in a courtroom-style process that he successfully overcame his fears (a hard task, given the pitiful life we are shown)" – Defending Your Life, IMDB.com

SoundCloud iPhone App from Oliver Chesler on Vimeo.
SoundCloud has become the best place for musicians to store and share music online. The Berliners have continutally upgraded their site's services listening to it's customers. Beyond the new features the site is managing to scale well and it looks very pretty. Here are some of the new tools in the latest release "Taylor".
SoundCloud already had the best embeddable audio player with a great waveform display and comments along it's timeline. Now there are two new player widgets called "Artwork" and "Mini player". Here they are:
Artwork Player (Roll/click your mouse over for effect):
Mini Player (Click Play to expose mini waveform):
Sharing is much better now too as they follow Flickr a bit here allowing users to grab a Secret Link to send out. Stats is greatly improved (where there even Stats before?). Just take a look at these Stats from the past seven days:
Here we go with a big one: an official SoundCloud iPhone app! Take a look Ma no flash (Video above).
Finally there is a new pricing structure that could make more sense for the unemployed and skeptical. For more info: click here

We all know Ikea furniture can be hacked into useful recording studio stands, etc.. The Ikea Jerker desk is one example. I've seen countless bedroom studios (especially in Europe) using the Jerker. Here's a link to check out a "how to hack a Jerker for the studio": How to Build A Studio Desk For Music Production.
If you need to turn a corner of a modern living room into a mini studio you may want to check out the Ikea Benno television stand. It features three tiers long enough for 36 keys, drum machines, jars of patch cords and has a cable hiding mechanism in the back. Benno is $69.99.

Berna vintage electronic studio from Tobor Experiment on Vimeo.
A full room of oscillators and vintage tape machines on your Mac for less than $20. My favorite example of electronic music from the early days is the soundtrack to the movie Forbidden Planet (Amazon link).
"Between the 1950s and the mid 1960s, long before Robert Moog and Wendy Carlos injected electronics into pop-music (with a few exceptions like the Barrons and Raymond Scott), electroacoustic music was pioneered by european radio laboratories and US universities. Composing with tapes and electronics was a serious painstaking and expensive affair, prerogative of a restricted elite of contemporary music composers and adventurous sound engineers…. Berna is a software simulation of a late 1950s electroacoustic music studio. Oscillators, filters, modulators, tape recorders, mixers, are all packed in a easy-to-use interface with historical accuracy." – gleetchplug.com

I really wanted a Tenori-on when they came out. I went to the launch party in Berlin (see post: here). I do feel the price is justified however it still keeps the Japanese music box out of most peoples hands. Yamaha seems to understand that and is releasing a new more affordable Tenori called the Tenori-O. It's white plastic (instead of the original's magnesium casing), has Orange LEDs instead of white and those LED's are only single sided. Lastly, there is no battery option on the "O". Music programmability and features do remain the same for the "O" when compared to it's older brother. The real question will be how low can get they get the price. If anyone knows what the retail will be let me know.
"Since 2007 Tenori-On has also picked up numerous prestigious design awards thanks to it's addictive and brilliant interface and striking design. Recently it won a coveted place in New York's Museum of Modern Art… Yamaha's Peter Peck explains the thinking "We know everyone loves the concept and fresh approach of Tenori-On, however, as you'd expect we have received thousands of requests for a more affordable version. We therefore looked at many ways of reducing the price without compromising the all-important product concept or creative operating system. To coincide with the unveiling of the new model Yamaha have also confirmed a free forthcoming firmware update for current Tenori-On customers." – Yamaha

Budapest (Nov. 22)
A virtual retraction by Julius Goemboes, Hungarian minister of war, of his statement that Jews could not be admitted to the Hungarian Order of Heroes, today concluded the debate on this question in parliament where it had given rise to heated denunciations by the Jewish deputies and by the non-Jewish deputies of the Left and Middle parties.
Goemboes admitted that a cabinet officer is not entitled to conduct anti-Jewish agitation. Speaking in parliament, the war minister said he retreated from his previous attitude and declared that his speech at Keckskemeter was his opinion as a private citizen but that he recognized that as a minister he must support the policy of equality for all religions which Chancellor Bethlen maintains.
The minister of war admitted that it was impossible to put into practice racial anti-Semitism because two members of the Bethlen cabinet are not 100 percent Hungarians, since one has a Jewish mother and the other has a Jewish wife. In retribution, M. Goemboes pointed out that the country's system of national defense, which he now heads, was created by Baron Fejervary, a descendant of Jews.

A Fingerprint File for 1.1 Billion Indians
• "This gives them a leg up, a set of tools to meet their aspirations"
One of India's major problems is a lack of information about Indians. The government isn't sure how many there are, so it can't always plan policies effectively. Some 75 million homeless have no birth certificates, so they can't qualify for aid, register for school, get phone service, or open a bank account. Millions of other Indians have fake IDs to get assistance they're not entitled to.
Nandan M. Nilekani thinks he has a solution. The co-founder of IT outsourcer Infosys (INFY) has been drafted by the government to run a new agency, the Unique Identification Authority. The UIA is an effort to create ID numbers for all Indians, many of whom the state has missed. "If you are going to have all this [economic] growth," says Nilekani, "people who are marginalized should be given a chance." To make the system more secure, he wants to gather fingerprints from every Indian and store the prints on government servers.
A uniform ID system with biometric data, which should launch next year, could curb fraud and give millions of Indians access to aid. The program could "have a dramatic effect on poverty," says Reuben Abraham, a professor at the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad.
It could also make many new commercial transactions possible by allowing online verification of identities by laptop and mobile phone. Indian banks, for example, will be able to operate in remote villages without building costly branches. A customer can go to the bank's village agent—a grocer, say—get his fingerprint ID confirmed, and withdraw 500 rupees from his account. Once banks can serve all of India's 600,000 villages, rural Indians will be able to save and borrow, an enormous benefit to the economy. Says Nilekani: "If we can give everybody a unique ID number, if you can get people a bank account, a mobile number, this gives them a leg up, a set of tools to meet their aspirations."
The bottom line: The government has been slow to embrace IT. Nilekani's biggest challenge will be overcoming bureaucratic inertia.

Laura Plantation
Have your passport ready to enter the world of Creole Louisiana and experience what has been called "the best history tour in the U.S."
This Creole plantation tour is based upon 5,000 pages of documents found in the French National Archives and upon Laura's "Memories of the Old Plantation Home," in which she details 250 years of true-life stories of the Creole women, slaves and children who lived and worked here.
Laura Plantation was awarded the "Top Travel Attraction in Louisiana" by the Louisiana Travel Promotion Association. It was also listed among "the top 25 most popular house museums in the U.S." by the American Academy of Architecture and Design.
Your tour includes a visit to the "Big House," gardens and original 1840s slave cabins in which the West African folktales of Compair Lapin (later known as Br'er Rabbit) were recorded over 140 years ago.
On your journey to this historic plantation built in 1805, you'll also have the opportunity to enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Pontchartrain as you cross the Bonnet Carre Spillway (the flood outlet of the Mississippi River).
Travel past Whitney, Evergreen, Felicity & St. Joseph Plantations, ghosts of the past that front the Mississippi River, where rich crops of sugar cane, cotton and indigo from these fertile lands once travelled to ports of trade.
Note: Due to the home's historic nature, access to the second floor (the main living quarters) is by stairs only.
Walking the grounds with your guide is an integral part of this experience.
Includes guided tour of plantation home and narrated motor coach transportation.

And Miles to Go. The Wild Project (see Off-Off Broadway). By Chad Beckim. Directed by Hal Brooks. With ensemble cast. Running time: 1hr 10mins. No intermission.
And Miles to Go: in brief
Randy Danson plays a longtime teacher facing an uncertain future—as the NYC Board of Ed considers closing her run-down public school—in a new drama by Chad Beckim ('nami). Hal Brooks (No Child…) directs for Partial Comfort Productions.
And Miles to Go: theater review by Helen Shaw
Chad Beckim's dramatic sketch And Miles to Go may make you sob, but as its emotional stakes intensify, you might start to miss the piece's early phase—when it actually threatened to make you think. Miles starts as a farce about teachers and their embattled position on the front lines of economic depredation.
In a wonderful prologue, Ms. Priam (superb Randy Danson) harangues a panel threatening to close her school. Our system, she says, is "horseshit." The play then turns Breakfast Club (the out-of-favor educator gets stuck babysitting troublemakers), and we inch toward something like comedy-as-critique. Abruptly, the work morphs into ripped-from-the-headlines horror (Priam must now defend her classroom-Troy), and while director Hal Brooks is efficient at eliciting tears, the play seems to retreat in terror from the plot twist. Dialogue slackens, characterization reverses toward cliché, and the work huddles in the dark—unwilling, suddenly, to keep talking about the enemy in the halls.—Theater review by Helen Shaw
THE BOTTOM LINE: A schoolroom comedy goes jaggedly tragic.

By Rusty Miller | Associated Press
COLUMBUS -- When you ask Luke Kennard where he's going to play college basketball, he lists five of the biggest names in the sport and then quickly adds, "Not in any particular order."
Those schools already know he's the best player in Ohio. Now it's official.
The 6-foot-6 Franklin High School junior is a unanimous choice as winner of the Ohio Associated Press Mr. Basketball award.
Even though he was a first-team all-stater in football, make no mistake about it: He's a blue-chipper in basketball. His final five are Duke, Ohio State, Kentucky, North Carolina and Michigan.
"It's just been my favorite sport growing up," he said. "My dad likes to tell people that I was born with a ball in my hands. Basketball comes a little bit more naturally to me. I just think it would be neat to be in that kind of atmosphere in college."
Kennard's numbers on the court are staggering.
He averaged 41 points, 10.4 rebounds, four assists and two steals a game. He scored 50 or more three times while shooting over 50 percent from the field, 42 percent on 3-pointers and 85 percent at the line.
Add the fact that last fall as a quarterback he completed 162-of-276 passes for 2,145 yards and 26 touchdowns with just five interceptions and it's easy to see why people rave about his athletic acumen.
"Not to put down other kids, or to seem boastful, but he just seemed like he was playing chess and the other kids were playing checkers," said Brian Bales, his coach at Franklin. "He's two plays ahead of everybody. He's kind of like that on a football field. It's amazing. It'll be a dead play and all of a sudden he makes something out of it."
This basketball season, he led Franklin -- located not far from Middletown, hometown of the legendary Jerry Lucas -- to a 20-4 record. The Wildcats have won 35 consecutive conference games.
They also traveled all around the country, showcasing their star player and exposing him to some of the best players and trickiest defenses imaginable.
Everybody has tried to stop Kennard. And with little luck.
"This year? I've probably seen them all," he said of the array of defenses.
Asked the weirdest X's and O's he encountered, Kennard laughed and remembered an early-season game against Oxford Talawanda.
"Oh, man. There was a guy face-guarding me, it wasn't really a box-and-1," he said. "It was like a 1-1-2 with a guy standing right on me."
Kennard isn't just a leader on the court or on the field. He carries a 4.3 grade-point average and is near the top in his class academically.
His dad, Mark, works in a bank and played college ball at Georgetown, Ky., where Luke's sister, Lauren, is a senior. His mom, Jennifer, is a substitute teacher.
During the summer, Luke, who throws a football right-handed but is a lefty shooter in basketball, has played on the King James AAU team which features many of the top players in the state.
Luke is a marquee player wherever his teams play.
"After games, it's nothing for him to sign autographs for 30 or 45 minutes," Bales said. "And that's even in showcases. We've been to Myrtle Beach, and he's the No. 1 player they want autographs from and that's probably the best event in America. Flyin' To The Hoop, there was a line for 45 minutes with him signing autographs after that game."
His signature will be mighty valuable to a college team soon. He expects to scribble his name on a letter of intent in the next month or so.
"It'll be pretty nice to get it over with and to be able to enjoy my next year and kind of get the pressure off," he said. "I'm kind of looking forward to it."
Past winners of the Ohio AP Mr. Basketball award, determined by a vote of sports journalists from around the state, include NBA players LeBron James (the only three-time winner), O.J. Mayo, Trey Burke and Jared Sullinger.
Others considered this year include Elida's Dakota Mathias, Javon Bess of Gahanna Lincoln, Esa Ahmad of Shaker Heights, Brady Arnold of Millersburg West Holmes and Peyton Aldridge of Leavittsburg LaBrae.

Some races are just meant to be. This was one of them. The race started in Sterling State Park along Lake Erie and the course was on roads I grew up biking and driving all the time. There were friends running that I have known since the high school days and one of my nieces. Mark has been one of my best friends since we were both 10 years old. You know, the type that you have a fight with in the afternoon and by night time you were spending the night at each other's house. Anyway, it was a great benefit of this race.
The start was at 8am and I knew I could get there in less than a half an hour. Makes for a nice easy morning. Ate my normal bagel, had coffee, grabbed a water and a pack of sports beans and headed out the door. The morning was cloudy and about 42*F, which would be perfect except for the 10-15 mph winds. Seemed like it was a head wind for about three-quarters of the course. Not a lot of talking before the race. I think everyone stayed in their cars , avoiding the cold wind, until the last minute. A huge parking lot was right by the start. After a quick meet and greet with everyone I knew, it was time to go.
The race started out for about the first three miles heading mostly north. With the wind coming out of the northwest, I figured I would get off to a bit of a slow start. My loose plan was to go out around 7:45/mile pace and bring it down from there. The only goal I set was to break the 1:40:00 barrier. That meant I needed to average 7:36/mile. Those first three miles were out in the open and I could definitely feel the wind. A young kid next to me commented early on how bad the wind was. I just said that it would feel good at our backs later on when we were tired. Around mile 2.5, there are two sets of train tracks and wouldn't you know it, a train was coming as I looked up ahead. Lucky for me, without altering pace, it was past before I crossed the tracks. First three mile: 7:14, 7:13, 7:21
That seemed too fast but I did a "body check" and realized two things: I wasn't breathing hard and my legs were taking this pace like a nice casual run. Ok, if I was going to slow down later, then I decided to take advantage of the way I felt. Miles 4-8 were all through neighborhood streets that are east and south of the city. I know it wasn't possible, but every turn seemed to lead us back into the wind. These miles were also where I picked up my group of 4-5 other guys that would be around me for the rest of the race. Mile times through town: 7:20, 7:14, 7:17, 7:21, 7:19
My second physical test revealed no difference despite the extra five miles. Breathing and legs good. For the first time all race, I made a mistake here. Instead of pushing forward, I told myself to relax for a couple of miles and reassess at the 10 mile mark. After all, I was way under my goal pace. With that mind set, the next two miles still came in at 7:25 and 7:30. My 10 mile time was 1:13:14 I haven't run that fast since running the Crim 10 miler back in 2005. I had a brief thought at the time: 8 minute miles from here on out would get me way under my goal. I didn't listen and the wind helped the next two miles.
There is a bike path from the Raisin River Battlefield into the park where we started and would finish. Best part of this path? It took us southeast. Finally, two miles with the wind directly at our backs. I stayed relaxed and figured the wind would help out. It did. 7:16 and 7:10 for those two miles. And I passed up two guys during these miles.
This is where the course was altered a couple of days before the race. Instead of running on Dixie Hwy., one of the busiest roads in Frenchtown Twp., we were going to run the "campers trail" in the park, which would make up the last 1.1 miles. I have spent a lot of time at this park and knew that this path had three minor hills and would turn back into the wind before the finish. First hill was 17 steps (not even a full bleacher from training). Is it weird that I counted? Like training, my mantra going up a hill now is to count steps. Passed guy #3. Second hill was a baby 13 steps high. Then we turned back into the wind and I spotted my last target. I looked ahead and the mile 13 sign was at the top of the last hill. 16 steps up and with a 7:13 mile, I was right behind the guy that had led our group the whole way. I am not ultra-competitive, but this was my day and I wasn't slowing down for anyone, even with only a tenth to go. Flew past him with about 10 yards to go and finished with a time of....... 1:35:44!!!!!!!!
That, my friends, is called, smashing your goal!
I finished 23rd over all with 436 runners. AG award? Nope....only 6th in AG. These were at 10 year splits so I wasn't really surprised. I am trying to figure out where the energy came from. Friday after work, I had a quick nap and slept very well going into Saturday morning. I had four pieces of pizza for dinner, which makes me wonder if the fancy pasta dinners I have been trying to eat are over-rated. One major difference between this race and the Erie Marathon was my consumption of water. No other liquids from Friday morning till race time; five water bottles.
Now it is time to get ready for Rehoboth. I thought this race would be closer to 1:40:00. I guess I am past that point now. My goal for Rehoboth has to be sub-1:35:00 now. I will continue to train the same for the next month; long runs for the back-to-back ultras in December and February, but also throwing in interval, bleacher and tempo runs. I will also continue to get rest. More than anything, I believe this has kept me healthy and with more energy to attack each day. Even with higher mileage, I am still taking two days off during most weeks. Does this mean I will be running with the "Fast Kids" at Rehoboth?

EUCantina (EUC): What do your days, including days your write, usually consist of?
Karen Traviss (KT): I've had so many books to write since 2004 that my days are all taken up with the physical act of writing or the other work generated by it, like editing, proof reading or cons.
I write from the moment I get up and I stop when I'm too tired to carry on. That's about it, really. I plan my workload in advance as far as I can, so I know what I'll be doing on any given week up to a year or two ahead.
EUC: What do you enjoy writing about the most?
KT: People, and what goes on inside their heads. That's the sum of all fiction – people. The rest is just the circumstance that tests them each time. A good story isn't a sequence of scenes and events – it's the journey the characters make from beginning to end. What they think and do dictates what happens, not the other way around.
EUC: How long would you say you would need to write a novel?
KT: Every writer has their own pace, and it can be anything from 20 years to a long weekend. It depends on the author, not on the book. There's no right or wrong answer to how long it takes to write a novel. Orson Scott Card has said that it took him two weeks to write Ender's Game, for example, and that's generally acknowledged as a modern classic. And for all the people thinking, "Oh, you can't write a good book in a few days…" then I'll take on a bet with any reader that they simply won't be able to tell from reading a book how long it took to write it unless the writer tells them – in fact, I know they can't, because I've tested the theory.
I think that some people equate writing a book with an essay for college or something – that there's some universal formula for how long it should take anyone in the class. Fiction doesn't work that way. It's tied to the cognitive process of the individual, and that means it's different for every writer. It'll also depend on the writer's personal circumstances – if they have a day job, for example, or if they have young kids who need a lot of looking after, and how long they need to spend staring at the wall before they get down to writing. I write full time, I don't have small children, and I've never been one for staring out the window looking for inspiration. Things come to me right away. If they hadn't, I'd have starved as a journalist.
I need to immerse in a story and live it as I write, so the longer I have, the more times I completely change it. It's best when I take a run at it and dive in. I'm used to writing fast as a journalist. A book takes me on average five or six weeks; if I take longer, I end up writing two or more totally different books. If I do all the research in advance and plan out every scene (not a good idea, because you can be too slavishly devoted to plans and that can sometimes make for a boring book) then I can write a chapter a day very easily, and that means a book in 20 days or so. I admit that I laughed out loud when a new romance writer was lauded in the media for having written a book in "only" nine months – I'd write three or four in that time. So would many of my colleagues.
EUC: As a sci-fi writer, do you find it hard to write about regular issues such as families, politics, and just being a teenager?
KT: No, because science fiction isn't about science. It's about people. All good fiction is. There's a school of thought that says if you take the science out of a story and the story still works, then it isn't science fiction. I think that's garbage, and stems from an era when writers thought that having a whizzo science idea and making the characters dance around it was the thing to do; it was a very sterile, clever-clever approach that I feel has had its day, and I suspect readers have moved on too, because we live with whizzo ideas made real these days.
We're not bedazzled by spaceships, and as for gizmos, we can buy them at Wal-Mart. I take the view that science is the set dressing for SF, just as horse racing is the setting for Dick Francis thrillers – that it's just another device for exploring what it means to be human. (Yes, even with aliens.) Science gives us more choices and more dilemmas. It's how we handle those that define who we are.
EUC: Most people, when asked who writes Ben Skywalker the best answer, Karen Traviss. Why do you personally feel you can connect to that character (and his mother) so well?
KT: Ben was a blank sheet when I wrote him – his point of view had never been used before, so I could start from scratch. So I was able to make the maximum use of my character-building technique, which is to get inside the character's head and look out through their eyes.
What's it like to be the son of two A-list political figures? What's it like to have superpowers and yet still be treated as a kid? What's it like to go through the uncertainty of puberty with those powers, too? How do you face killing people, which is what that lightsaber is ultimately for? How do you handle finding out that the adults you trusted and looked up to have let you down? From all those conflicting pressures came Ben Skywalker, ultimately working out who he was, and that he was his own man.
EUC: Who has been the most difficult character to write in the Legacy Of The Force series?
KT: I don't think any of them have been difficult, but some took longer than others for me to "get inside." Once I was "in" they were fine. There have been characters that I've enjoyed and didn't expect to be caught up in, though, like Admiral Cha Niathal, who I enjoyed enormously, and Lumiya.
They don't have to have big parts in the books, either – Baltan Carid, the Mandalorian mercenary, just fell out of nowhere (as my original characters all seem to) and he was instantly real and three-dimensional to me with zero effort. You never can tell. But in the end, I can get behind the eyes of any character. It's just a matter of how long. The best description of the process I use is a cross between method acting and psychological profiling.
EUC: Are there any plans for more Republic Commando novels or other Clone Wars era books?
KT: There are at least two more books with the RC characters, one out at the end of October – True Colors – and a fourth in July 2008.
EUC: How hard was it to write Mara's death, and are fans lashing out at you for it like they did when R.A. Salvatore wrote Chewbacca's death and Troy Denning wrote Anakin Solo's death?
KT: I've had no really adverse reactions to Mara's death. I think the small lunatic fringe of fandom learned their lesson way back that threatening and abusing writers just alienates other fans, and it certainly doesn't change a word of what writers do.
I've had one letter from someone telling me I ruined their life by killing Mara, but it wasn't abusive, just very sad. Every other piece of mail I've had from Mara fans has been wonderful – okay, they're sad to see her go, some very upset indeed, but they're mature enough to accept it, and they've all said that the death was handled properly.
I don't just bump off characters for the hell of it. It's an integral part of the novel; it has to be, or it shouldn't be in a book. It has to be a logical progression of the story. If I was ever asked to whack a character for the sake of sensationalizing a book, I'd hand back my advance and walk away, because that's just bad storytelling, and it creates problems for the rest of the book, because it'll feel bolted on for no good reason.
Writing a character's death is very hard if you immerse as I do, because you have to feel what the characters feel to make a decent job of it, and it's not fun. It's harrowing to put yourself in Ben's mind, or Luke's, and imagine what it is to lose your mother or your wife like that, with so much left unsaid. And it carried on into Revelation – it's painful writing Ben and Luke at that phase of their grieving process, where the funeral's over, and everyone else is getting on with their lives, but yours is changed irrevocably forever and the pieces are missing every time you try to pick them up.
Readers can see from the way I write that I take character deaths seriously, and so they don't react badly. For a writer, it's about maintaining respect for role that the books play in readers' lives. And beloved characters have to face death, or there's no drama, no real risk, and no high stakes to play for in the story. Oddly, many people seem okay with "minor" characters dying, as if their lives have no meaning, but I hate that. Every life – even a fictional life – has to count, or else we start thinking of some real people's lives as having less value than others, which is a terrible attitude to slip into.
EUC: How did you create an entire language?
KT: I'm not an academic linguist or a philologist, but I did languages – modern and classics – so it was fairly natural for me to build one organically. Because I was developing the Mandalorian culture too, it was much easier to build both synergistically, at the same time. I got the general "sound" of the language from Jesse Harlin's lyrics for the RepCom game music – Jesse's a great bloke and we've had a lot of fun discussing Mando'a – and then I went back to basics.
What matters to Mandalorians? How do they perceive time, and so how do they treat tenses? How would they classify the world around them? Would gender matter? How rigid and rules-oriented would their grammar be? Would they use the language primarily to talk, or write? From those basic principles, the rest flowed almost instantly. I developed the vocabulary organically, by evolving words from other words, just as we do over centuries in real life, with all the irregularities and variations of a real language, and the end result was something that felt real and lived in.
I also wanted it to be easy for folks to use – and that fitted fine with the basic premise, because Mandalorians are a pragmatic, no-nonsense people who regularly take in outsiders; so the language is straightforward, very active, very vivid, and something that people can pick up fast.
EUC: How significant of a role will the Mandalorians play in the future novels? (LOTF and RC)
KT: Wait and see…..
EUC: Will Boba Fett get his revenge on Jacen or at least get to see Jacen's demise?
KT: Boba doesn't get mad. He gets even. That's all I'll say.
EUC: What are your professional tips on making it in the writing business?
KT: Write every day, even when you don't want to. Pretty soon it becomes automatic. Look at the world around you in intense detail and study people and their behavior, and think about what you really feel – and what others feel – at any given time. Get used to seeing the world through other people's eyes, especially when they don't think like you or agree with you.
We live in a world where superficiality, lack of questioning, formulaic thinking and quick glib answers are the order of the day, so true observation and looking at the world in a radically different way by asking fundamental questions are becoming lost arts. Books that sell – books that readers want to come back to time after time – are books with vivid characters, observed with acute perception, and not full of easy answers and stereotypes. Make your fiction real and honest.
EUC: We thank Ms.Traviss for her time and efforts in the Star Wars galaxy and for taking the time to sit down and answer all the questions.

The International Minimum Standard and Fair and Equitable Treatment
Investment protection treaties generally provide for the obligation to treat investments fairly and equitably, even if the wording of the rule and its relationship with the customary international standard may differ. The open-textured nature of the rule, the ambiguous relationship between the vague treaty and equally vague customary rules, and States' interpretations of the content and relationship of both rules (not to mention the frequency of successful invocation by investors) make this issue one of the most controversial aspect of investment protection law. This monograph engages in a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the international minimum standard and fair and equitable treatment. It provides an original argument about the historical development of the international standard, a normative rationale for reading it into the treaty rules of fair and equitable treatment, and a coherent methodology for establishing the content of this standard. The first part of this book untangles the history of both the international minimum standard and fair and equitable treatment. The second part addresses the normative framework within which the contemporary debate takes place. After an exhaustive review of all relevant sources, it is argued that the most persuasive reading of fair and equitable treatment is that it always makes a reference to customary law. The third part of the book builds on the historical analysis and the normative framework, explaining the content of the contemporary standard by careful comparative human rights analysis.

The Navratri festival which commences on the first of the bright half of Ashwayuja (September-October) ends on the tenth day of Ashwayuja. The tenth day is called Dusshera or Dasara or Dussera or Dusharah or Dussehra. The term Dusshera is widely used in
North India and Karnataka and it is also referred as Vijaya Dashami. There may be several spellings and different myths for the festival but in all places Dasara commemorates the victory of good over evil.
North India and Karnataka, the 9 day Navratri festival and the 10th day Vijaya Dashami festival is at times together referred as Dusshera. Some people only refer the last day (10th day) as Dusshera.
North India, Dusshera or Vijaya Dasami is considered to be the day when Ravana was killed by Lord Ram. The 10-day festival reaches a climax on Dussehra with the burning of effigies of Ravana, Kumbakarna and Meghnath.
In Karnataka, Dusshera commemorates the victory of Goddess Chamundi or Goddess Chamudeswari over Demon Mahishasura. This myth is quite similar to the Durga Puja myth in
East India.
It is also believed that Lord Ram performed 'chandi puja' to invoke the blessings of Goddess Durga for slaying Ravana. Pleased with Lord Ram, Goddess Durga or Goddess Chamundeswari divulged the secret to Lord Rama on how to slay Ravana. Thus there is a link between the Durga Puja and Lord Ram.

Book Review: 'Seductress: Erotic Tales of Immortal Desire,' edited by D.L. King
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, August 16, 2013
Anyone who thinks that female domination in literature is a modern day phenomenon should investigate the mythological succubae, references to which date at least to Adam's first wife, Lilith. Variations of these supernatural entities have been central characters in innumerable stories, books, plays, films and television programs.
Accomplished erotica editor D.L. King recently tapped a pool of very talented writers to create a collection of 21 decidedly naughty succubus stories that will change the way you think about mythology - Seductress: Erotic Tales of Immortal Desire.
A couple of the stories stick fairly close to conventional interpretations of how a demon seduces a mortal male, but many stray far, far away from the tried and true route and even venture into Sapphic dalliances. Their variety, imaginative plots, and overall erotic content should satisfy the palate of erotica readers with a taste for kink.
My personal favorite is "Phone Hex," a story in which Ruby helps her fellow succubae go high tech by creating an app called Xtasee, which puts users into a light trance while it runs a preprogrammed phone hex to summon a succubus using a virtual version of the Karenzikov ritual. This story combines sly humor with very raunchy sexual hookups.
As a general rule all erotica has two mistresses that compete for its readers' enjoyment, story and sting. On a five star scale, Seductress: Erotic Tales of Immortal Desire merits five stars for story and four stars for sting. It is definitely a keeper.

AS EUROPEAN rugby returns to centre stage this weekend, you can bet the administrators of club rugby in England will be hoping for a strong showing from its sides in the Heineken Cup.
As the hiatus about the future of the competition continues, for the English clubs getting a team to the final, or even winning the competition, would give them a bit of credibility with their future negotiations.
I can't see it all being sorted out before the end of this season, so it would make English clubs' life a bit easier if they could get a team to the latter stages.
That said, you cannot see beyond the usual suspects in the competition this time.
I'd expect the Irish Leinster, Munster and Ulster to all be in there with a chance, while the English and French sides continue to batter the hell out of each other.
It's also great to see the likes of Exeter making their debut in this competition.
You can really see something of Bath 30-35 years ago in the way the Chiefs are going about things and having the likes of Leinster visiting Devon, they will relish taking on the best.
It's the Amlin Challenge Cup for Bath and I can't see why they can't do something special in this competition.
Once you get past the initial pool stage, it's something you can definitely target as an opportunity to win some silverware and I would expect Bath's management to be doing that.
As for Trowbridge, we've completed the first block of four fixtures and, while I was hoping for four wins, three plus bonus points in the others has been a decent return.
The next block is likely to prove altogether tough, with away games coming into play. It's always the hallmark of any player in how they deal with adversity away from home.

The Discussion
Really hoping someone has ideas about multiple tenants with accounts in same forest as dirsync only supports one.
@jenross:FIM with third party extensions, it is not in the default toolbox I am afraid, I was really surprised MS doesn't provide a FIM MA for O365.
It would be nice if they have made something to replace dirsync or at least improved it. We have forced to create a new AD which is updated by FIM in order to get dirsync working.
Please provide the mentioned whitepaper regarding placing ADFS servers in Azure.
I was told at TechEd that Dirsync not support multiple tenants from one AD structure.
I was told at TechEd that the new DirSync will support multiple tenants from one AD structure.

Cake Cutting – Fair and Square
The classic fair cake-cutting problem [Steinhaus, 1948] is extended by introducing geometric constraints on the allocated pieces. Specifically, agents may demand to get their share as a square or a rectangle with a bounded length/width ratio. This is a plausible constraint in realistic cake-cutting applications, notably in urban and agricultural economics where the "cake" is land. Geometric constraints greatly affect the classic results of the fair division theory. The existence of a proportional division, giving each agent 1/n of his total cake value, is no longer guaranteed. We prove that it is impossible to guarantee each agent more than 1/(2n-1) of his total value. Moreover, we provide procedures implementing partially proportional division, giving each agent 1/(An-B) of his total value, where A and B are constants depending on the shape of the cake and its pieces. Fairness and social welfare implications of these procedures are analyzed in various scenarios.

604 Tasting Notes
If there is a red velvet tea out there, I'm going to try it! I was happy to see this one from A Quarter to Tea and I was also glad to see that it had a rooibos base.
This cup made me sad, though, because I didn't really taste any red velvet. It was really a watery rooibos with an overly sweet and artificial flavor. No chocolate or vanilla in sight. I really thought that this would be a delicious blend, but it's just not all that yummy.
This is one of those teas that is getting quite a lot of positive reviews, so despite my dislike for cardamom (generally speaking), I did want to give this one a go. I have a feeling that the cardamom will be tolerable in this blend because it's mixed with something sweet. The scent of this tea is delicious! Bready, sweet and a tiny bit of that playful cardamom in the background. I have high hopes!
Sipping… oh this is very nice. This tea has such a great combination of cinnamon, cardamom and sugar. I also taste a little bit of the lemon peel which adds just the lightest tang. The black tea doesn't really shine at all, though, and prefers to stay hidden behind everything else. I really like this tea and believe it's the closest I've been to tasting french toast in a tea. The aftertaste is a bit weird… I am thinking it might have to do with the lemon and the spices mixing. It's not really artificial, but is just an odd flavor combination. I would have liked for there to be a stronger custardy, eggy flavor to further enhance the french toast, but it's pretty darn good without.
If you're interested in a sugary sweet and lightly spiced holiday tea, I would pop this into your shopping cart. It's very unique, drinkable and delicious! Yum!
This was another blend that I was excited to try from the 2015 Winter Collection. I love hot chocolate and I love tea. There are times, though, when I would like to have the flavor of hot chocolate, but not the added fat or calories of a true cup.
The scent of this blend reminds me of a powdered hot chocolate mix… really! I can detect the sugar and the chocolate… and I'm so surprised that this scent is coming from a tea. I'm not sure how they did it. Giving this cup a sip, I am already enjoying this one quite a bit. I taste the earthy quality of the pu-erh, but also the chocolate that actually seems lighter than expected. I think that drinking this tea a bit quicker than usual instead of sipping, brings out more of the straight hot chocolate flavor. One thing I should mention is that the flavor I'm getting doesn't reflect a hot chocolate made from chocolate shavings, but more of a powder mix.
There is an unfortunate element of this tea that I just can't seem to ignore: the stevia. I am someone who can tolerate stevia in many things and actually add it to my coffee once in a while. Its presence in this cup really ruins everything, though. I would recommend this blend if you aren't sensitive to stevia and if you enjoy hot chocolate.. but otherwise, this might be one to skip.
I'm really excited to be trying this tea as Tea Ave mentions that this is the tea that inspired them to open up their own shop! That has to count for something, right? I know that this type of oolong is loved by many for its incredible flavor. I personally have liked other oolongs a bit more, but I'm always willing to try others.
The scent of this tea is sugary sweet and incredibly floral. It really does remind me of a buttercream icing with the essence of flowers. Lovely! Sipping… I wasn't expecting such a thick mouthfeel, but it does feel rather heavy on the tongue. It isn't buttery so much… but luxuriously weighty. I mainly taste flowers with a bit of a mineral background. The flavor brings to mind lacy petals and leaves – it's delicate, but strong enough to take center stage. I do catch a bit of sweet butter and sugar towards the end of the sip, but it's really all about the flowers. There is also something that reminds me of apricot or peach, but it's very faint and doesn't last long. It's strange, because while this tea feels thick and bold, the aftertaste is light and ethereal, leaving just a memory of what was a strong flavor.
I think this is a very special tea and would be ideal for someone looking for a well-balanced oolong. It seems to have a bit of everything.. a bit like a tea that can't make up its mind, but in a good way. Balanced, tender yet bold.
I am really eager to try this blend as I've never had a tea blend with caraway included. It sounds like such an interesting combination – assam tea, caraway, cacao.. so unique! Plus, I love the idea of this tea bringing to mind a library and old books.
Sipping… hm, the first thing that I taste is the smooth black tea base and the cacao. It reminds me of other chocolate and black tea blends I've had in the past. There is a tiny bit of astringency as well. A strange thing happens after I've sipped.. a bit of a buttery flavor blossoms on the tongue. It reminds me of caramel squares and buttered toast. I also pick up on hazelnuts and very lightly, cherries in syrup. The finish is very drying, but it's still drinkable despite being slightly unpleasant. I can't seem to pick up on the caraway flavor… but then again, I've never had caraway in a tea.. so I could be tasting it, but just not know it.
Overall, I enjoyed this tea and I appreciate that it had many different flavors to discover. I'm not sure that I really experienced the library comparison just by taste… perhaps the description is slightly far-fetched, but it was certainly interesting. I'm excited to see how my next cup will be when I add a bit of milk!
Trying to catch up a little bit here… I know I've had this one before, but it's been a while so I'm interested to see if my tastes have changed. This tea smells of sweet banana.. it reminds me a little bit of David's banana oolong only without the oolong base.. but the banana softness is the same. Sipping… well, I think I should have added more than the recommended amount of "leaf" as it's a little bit on the weak side. For me, it's a very weak banana flavor with a mixture of other things in the background that I can't really pull apart. There isn't anything gross in this blend, it's just uneventful. I also wish that there would be less of that oil slick character, but I suppose that can't really be avoided given the ingredients.
Day 5 of 2015 Advent Calendar
I'm a bit behind on my advent calendar days.. I should be able to start catching up more on Thursday. I was a little hesitant to try this one as I'm not wild about almond flavor… Or at least I have to be in the mood for it. The scent of this tea reminds me of an almond cookie.. Really spot on! It smells quite sweet in the cup.. almost like almond frosting. Sipping… I like this more than I thought I would. The almond flavor is just as you'd expect.. Just like a cookie but without that crunchy, starchy character. It's a little weird with the green tea as a base as the green tea adds a mild grass flavor. I would think that it would've worked better with a different tea, but I'll finish this cup as I'm liking the almond flavor for tonight.
Day 4 of 2015 Advent Calendar
I'm excited to see an unflavored tea for today's tea.. After the last two being too artificial, I'm ready for something a bit more.. plain.
Sipping… well, plain is definitely what I'm getting with this cup. I think I almost get a little bit of raisin at the beginning, but it quickly fades. The rest of the cup is very… basic and reminds me of a generic black tea bag. I almost get a bit of cardboard, though it's not as bad as other teas with this quality. I think this tea would be yummy with the addition of milk or sugar. It reminds me of a tea that should be used as a base for other flavors since it's so plain and nothing shines.
Day 3 of 2015 Advent Calendar
I was pleased to see yet another tea I haven't tried before in this calendar. I do like mango, but haven't really found a tea version that I love… to be honest, I like the actual fruit much more than mango flavored things. I'm actually smelling more citrus than mango once the tea has steeped and it's on the verge of being medicinal, too. Eh.
Sipping… hm, I was expecting this to be much more bitter, but it's surprisingly smooth and thick on the tongue. I taste a bit of the white tea base… plain, slightly like hay and maybe a tiny bit fruity. I also taste orange and mango, but it is on the artificial side and it reminds me a lot of liquid Motrin. I'm disappointed because the mouthfeel is quite nice.. but it's just too artificial and strange for me.
Day 2 of 2015 Advent Calendar

Judge pleads guilty to improperly stopping at Bullskin accident scene
A Westmoreland County district judge was on the other side of the bench on Monday.
Charles "Chuck" David Moore, 52, of East Huntingdon, whose office is in Scottdale, pleaded guilty to a summary charge of improper stopping before Connellsville District Judge Ronald J. Haggerty Jr., according to court records.
State Trooper Robert Wilson of the Uniontown barracks alleged that Moore stopped at the scene of an accident on the "northbound passing lane of Route 119 and refused to move after firefighters advised him to keep moving," according to one citation.
Moore's attorney, Kenneth Burkley, said the charges resulted from "a misunderstanding."
"We think it was a misunderstanding by people at the scene," Burkley said as he left Haggerty's office. "Mr. Moore's interests were to see if people he knew were OK because of (a vehicle) accident."
Moore was not involved in the accident.
Haggerty dismissed three summary offenses filed in connection with the Oct. 3 accident shortly before 8 p.m. near Marion Motors in Bullskin.
Moore was ordered to pay a $25 fine and costs, Burkley said.
Moore declined comment.
The incident happened "in seconds," Burkley said. "I think they were just caught up in the moment, in the quickness of everything."
The judge was right to dismiss the other summary charges, Burkley said.
Moore was sworn in as a district judge in December, replacing J. Bruce King, who retired. He served as acting Westmoreland County sheriff before winning the district judge position in the November 2011 election.
