I know this is a weird topic but I was on the bus the other day. I'm a half Asian half European girl. I dyed my hair blond, no big deal. But as soon as this Asian chick goes on the bus with curled up blond hair, some other non-Asian chicks started saying "go natural"-I'm like "hey, she can do whatever the f*** she wants, it doesn't mean she wants to be "white" ". I'm half White but I found the non-Asian chicks to be very very condescending or way to biased. If you go to Japan, kids have their hair all sorts of different colors. It's not that Asians want to look White by dying their hair blond-it's because it's fun to them. I'm just putting it out there. I got a lot of Asian friends, just standing up for half of me lol! your thoughts are welcome. I know..totally random topic. meh.
Most Helpful Guy
i think it's fine. This doesn't relate too much, but I knew this asian kid a few years ago who was f***in awesome. Was 18 years old and dyed his hair a different color each week and he got more ass than a toilet seat.
However, personally speaking I am not too into asians. That doesn't mean that blond asian girls are superficial though- I'm sure you're pretty anyway reeses21|10|1
Thank you for actually answering the question and not asking for a pic like the other guys who answered this question.

|The First Renegade
|General information
"This world no longer needs a hero or any balance. The world will engulf in dismay!"
- Avatar Zhu Rong
The First Renegade is my first fanon. After finishing Legend of Korra, I decided that it would be fun to begin conjuring some ideas for a story since the World of Avatar has limitless boundaries. Of a few ideas that I wrote down, I decided to write one about the Avatar instead committing morally evil deeds than the nominal peace and balance to the world. His early years shaped him into one of the greatest enemies in the World by unleashing violence and chaos. This takes place over 120 years after the events of The Legend of Korra with Avatar Zhu Rong, a firebender that was abused and neglected by his father, a timid and heavy drinker, as he prepares to escape and journey into the world that he longed to see. The only consequence that he will ultimately face is to become the enemy himself.
"Air, Water, Earth, Fire.
It's all the same to me and it never gets old. First, I reincarnate into another baby from one of the four nations. Second, I train and study the other three elements. And third, I have to save the world from another dangerous enemy. It's the same boring cycle that I have to follow from my ancestors. Why should I be subservient to these other nations? Or more importantly, why should I be the savior? For many years I have done everything to protect the world from danger. But its price is to only satisfy the will of other men. So, what's it gonna be? I chose to run not out of fear, but for my own individualism. Rather than follow the centuries old tradition to bring peace and balance to the world, I chose my path to create disorder and violence to it! I'm no longer going to cling onto these worthless people or nations! The only thing I want the world to know is that it does not need a hero any longer. I know my choice and future-- and that is to become a renegade.
Set over 115 years after Avatar Korra, a firebender born within the Fire Nation Royal Family, named Zhu Rong, is revealed to be the new Avatar. Unlike most of his predecessors, he commits the most vile deeds and sparks an age of chaos after a tragic incident that tore his heart, regarding him as a renegade and threat to the world. The story will be start in the year 283 AG and follow through to the year 300 AG.
Main Characters
Zhu Rong: He is the antihero and next Avatar, succeeding an earthbending Avatar. Born within the Fire Nation Royal Family, he is the middle child of his family. He had an abusive childhood by his father, that soon led him to a turbulent life that sparked numerous events that shaped his destiny.
Tang Rong: He is the elder brother to Zhu Rong and is an admiral of the Fire Nation Navy. He is ambitious and very proud of being a leading figure. He is loyal to his father and his nation and swore never to betray it at all costs, even if his life is worth losing.
Sheng Rong: He is the father and Fire Lord since 219 AG. He is a ruthless and jingoistic ruler since his great grandfather Ozai, however he does not want war with any nation. He was a heavy drinker and abused his family frequently. He is initially the instigator to Zhu Rong's betrayal.
Heng Feng: He is the Head of the Dai Li. He is also a descendant of Long Feng and is a future ally of Zhu Rong when his turbulent life began. Corrupt, charismatic, and cunning, like his father, he is an influential figure in Ba Sing Se and the world.
Yue San Rong: She is the younger sister to Zhu and Tang Rong and is a princess of the Royal Family. She is stubborn, impatient, and very demanding and willing to break the rules unto her control.
Minor/Previous/Recurring Characters
Koh: He is known as the face stealer. He is featured as a plot device for Zhu Rong in the progression of the story.
Geb: He is Zhu Rong's earthbending teacher. He is a native to Omashu.
Arshi Tengri: He is a Fire Sage and firebending teacher to Zhu Rong.
Hathor: She is an airbending teacher to Zhu Rong. She restores the former Air Acolytes into the Air Disciples after an event during the Earthbending Avatar's life.
Gong Gong: He is the waterbending master to Zhu Rong.

Short-billed Dowitcher
Bellevue Beach is a veritable hot spot for shore birds. On Saturday another birder and I decided to check it out. For me, the Short-billed Dowitcher was the target bird. I had never seen one before and I must have wanted to really badly because I felt like I hiked to Timbuktu to get there.
All along the beach there was no sign of any shorebirds and the longer we walked the farther away the mussel bed seemed to be. Nevertheless, it was not nearly as bad as the rainy, blustery day that we went in July.
Alas, I rounded the last bend in the beach and with the low tide, I could see steady movement on the flat. The flood of relief and excitement replaced the exhaustion of the walk and I was ready for birding.
The first birds that I saw were two Short-billed Dowitchers feeding in a low pool of water. Of course, I was looking into the sun so I had to remedy that. Onto the mussel bed I went. With the sound of mussel shells crunching under my feet, I had to move so slowly so as not to flush the birds.
At last I got the sun behind me and could get great looks at these two golden brown birds.
These birds are uncommon to Newfoundland but have been spotted in the Spring, Summer and Fall. These two seemed to still be in their breeding plumage as I understand that in the Winter they become gray.
They were quite calm and did not flush at my presence. I took several pictures of them and then began scanning the large area that was teeming with other shorebirds. There were so many I hardly knew where to begin. Needless to say, I have many pictures from the day and will be posting them as I can.
I was very lucky to see these birds so quickly and so well, because sometime while I was looking at other birds, they moved and I never saw them again.
This would have been a great spot to pitch a tent and study the birds and their movement as the tides moved in an out....not to mention an air mattress would have been a welcome sight after they long, hot trek to the flats.

Solitary Sandpiper
I have seen so many new birds over the last three weeks that I hardly know where to begin with my postings. Because of the backlog of pictures, I have processed those of which I have less pictures to keep the ball rolling.
I spotted this Solitary Sandpiper on August 20, 2011 at Forest Pond. It just goes to show how important it is to keep checking known bird spots over and over. You never know when an uncommon bird is going to fly in.
This one didn't stay very long on that day. I have since learned that the behaviour of the Solitary Sandpiper is important to relocating it. Apparently, it feeds in one location and goes to another to roost. I think this was the roosting spot and it was anticipated that it would return. It did from time to time over the next few days and was seen by several persistent birders who kept checking.
While finding an uncommon bird is really special, for me at my stage of learning it was even more special for me to pour over all of the pictures in the guides and come up with the identification. Some of the best clues for identifying this bird were the white specks on its back, the greenish/yellow legs, its size, white eye ring and the narrow white stripe running from the eye to the beak. I must confess that it took be about an hour of checking all of my guides to come up with the ID.
While this bird has been documented to migrate through Newfoundland, it is still considered rare. This has been a good year for us with the Solitary Sandpiper because there were six found in Renews and some other stray reports around the province. It seems we are making up for the lull that we have had during the summer months, possibly due to the weather.
Now, I have a new dilemma: An American Avocet has been spotted about an hour out of town. Do I just pick up and go in chase of this very rare bird? Maybe....

Doors Open - St. John's, Newfoundland
During the annual Doors Open event in St. John's, several venues are open to the public without charge. When my eldest granddaughter said she wanted to sleep over at my house, I thought it was a great opportunity for us to participate in "Doors Open."
Given that she is three years old, I chose the Railway Museum as the event of the day. We were up early and on Signal Hill with our breakfast in hand at 8 a.m. We had breakfast high atop the city and she loved it! "I can see everything!"
She wanted to go into the "castle." With a little luck on our side, Cabot Tower opened at 8:30 and we made our way up the tricky, "scary" winding staircase to the top. We were on our way down when a gentleman was heading up to change the flag. He asked us if we would like to go. Of course! We followed him out onto the deck and he asked my granddaughter if she would like to help raise the flag.
What a special thing to do! In no time under his tutelage she learned the hand over hand technique and became a real helper. The man was so kind and even carried her down over those darned steps. We had already started our day with a "bang."
We then, at her behest, had a walk along a trail. After which, we headed to the Railway Museum. It was not open yet so we sat on a bench beside the display train pictured above. We made up stories and I tried to intertwine a little real history in mine. It never hurts to learn something along the way. Well, from her story, I learned something, too. I surely didn't know that Barbie came from an outport!
In no time the doors to the musuem opened and in we went. She wondered if the manikins might come to life. I told her to use her imagination and maybe she could see the people moving about their activities. We chose to do a walkabout on our own rather than join the tour. After all, she is three. I gave her some info and she was able to ask questions without bothering anyone else. Success! It was a great experience. She wanted to go to another musuem.
We tried the Johnson' Geo Centre back at Signal Hill, but it didn't open until noon. While she suggested that we wait, I talked her into going to another place. Off we went to Commissariat House. I thought she might enjoy seeing the old house. Great choice!
When we arrived, we went to the Carriage House where they gave her a paper printer's hat and helped her put her name on it with sticky letters. Then we went in front of the house and another helper dressed her up in a period dress and hat. It was such a special experience for her. She became demur on the outside and bursting with excitement on the inside. Wow! How many special things could happen in one morning?
We then started our walkabout in the house. In the first room we came upon quills, ink and paper set up for use. A while back when we went for a walk, we found a quill in the trail. I guess I have not totally lost my grounding in education because instead of talking about bird-related stories with the quill, I told her about "back in the day" when people used to write with quills. And now there it was right there for her to try. We worked our way through the house and talked about the feather bed, the wood fired stove and the boot jack which the guide demonstrated. She looked up at me and asked, "Where is the bathroom?" I asked the guide to show her the potty and its holder. Well, of course, a flood of "why" questions followed that led to more discussion about not having running water or electricity.
It was a morning of wonder and excitement. Amid all of the fun, I'm sure there was a great amount of learning. What a wonderful program...."Doors Open." Every one of the employees at every venue was kind, pleasant and helpful. They made the morning extra special. I was surprised that there weren't more people out enjoying these attractions, but then again, we did start our day quite early.
Bravo to "Doors Open." It was a morning to remember!

Gray Jay - Juvenile
While the Gray Jay is a common bird in Newfoundland, I decided to post about this one because of its different plumage.
On a recent drive down the Southern Shore, a small bird flew across the road. I have now learned that even one bird can indicate that there are several more in the area. About a kilometer North of the Fermeuse town sign, I stopped the car to check it out.
As expected several different species of warblers appeared. I was shooting pictures of them when they would pop out on a branch and offer up a clear view. While patiently awaiting warbler cooperation, in flew this robin-size gray bird. I didn't know what it was. Not too bright, eh?
It stayed for a while and I got these record shots. When I returned to the car, I looked up three different species with the Gray Jay being the third one. Nothing in the guide matched the markings on this bird. Now, I was puzzled, as usual.
When I got to Renews, I ran into a birder and was sure that he would know what it was. I was right about that, anyway. With one glance, he said that it was an immature Gray Jay.
This turned out to be the highlight of the day because I learned something new. Hardly a day passes that I don't slowly add a new piece of info to my small bank of knowledge. For sure, I will remember this one because there is something really demoralizing about having a common bird and not even knowing what it is. I guess it is to be expected as this is only the second Gray Jay that I have seen in two years. I would have surely recognized a mature bird.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
The general public who see unusual birds and report them to the winging it e-mail at The Telegram or to a friend known to "bird" is so important to documenting the many rare visitors to our province. Such was the case with this visiting Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. One walker verbally reported the sighting of a very different bird to a well-known birder who began the reporting cycle. Another walker around Quidi Vidi Lake took a picture with a cell phone and sent it to Bruce MacTavish at The Telegram. It didn't take long for the bird community to identify this "different" bird as a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron.
In less than 24 hours the hunt was well underway for this special bird and it was spotted and reported quickly when it was seen eating worms on the grass around the lake. The bird flew up into a tree as people gathered where it stayed for at least an hour.
I had walked around the lake earlier that morning and couldn't find the bird. Another birder walked in the opposite direction and came up empty handed, as well.
I left there and went to check at Virginia Lake, Long Pond, the bog behind Confederation Building, getting pretty wet all the while, but failed to find the bird. Before heading home, I decided to return to QV one more time to see if any one had any luck. I checked out the Southeast end of the lake and was in my car when the call came: "The bird had been found near the boat house." I quickly scurried around to the other end of the lake and met two other birders on the way. There it was sitting up in a Maple Tree frozen in place. I didn't have much time left to linger so I had to head out but I had a smile on my face. Those who stayed got a much better look as the Night-Heron flew down out of the tree and landed on a fence where it was fully exposed.
The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron's typical range is the swatch of states that range from Southern New England, south to Florida and west to Texas. It usually feeds on crustaceans and can be found near fresh water or salt water. This rare vagrant was not seen again since late on that day in mid-August. It was probably there for 48 hours in total. It must have moved to a less busy marshy, area and I count myself lucky to have been able to see it. It is because this Night-Heron remains active during the day that we all got a look.
This is not the first Yellow-crowned Night-Heron to visit the island and hopefully, it won't be the last. Thanks to all who see the rare birds and tell somebody!

Sooty Shearwaters Take Outer Cove Beach
After a relatively uneventful day birding the Southern Shore, I returned home. As I often do after being out, I check the discussion group and my e-mail to make sure that I am not missing anything. In my e-mail was a note from a birder that I ran into on the Southern Shore earlier in the day. The note said there was an "event" going on in Outer Cove. I replaced the cold beer that I had just opened with a cold coke and headed out again.
When I got to the beach I was totally unprepared for what I saw. There were birds everywhere: Seagulls of all varieties, Kittiwakes (young and mature) AND most notably, there were Shearwaters (Sooty, Greater and one Manx.) My head was spinning as I tried to watch them all at once. A group of shearwaters is known as an "improbability" of shearwaters. Well, this is certainly fitting because this group of land-locked shearwaters is very unusual. None of the birders can ever remember such an event over the last 30 years.
The first bird that I tried to focus on was the Sooty Shearwater. I had seen only one of these birds last summer while on a boat tour. It flew by in a flash and was gone again. This was not the case on this late Saturday evening. I looked many Sooty Shearwaters right in the eye.
What caused this event? It was all about the capelin. Millions of capelin lingered off shore waiting to spawn. The capelin moved in closer to shore and so did the shearwaters. It is interesting that spawning took place on the night of a full moon and then they were gone. Right along with them, the shearwaters disappeared just as quickly as they had come.
Despite the thousands of birds flying around and the cacophony that filled the air, it was possible to isolate a single bird every now and then. I thought how fitting, I am getting "screeched in." It looks so calm and serene but trust me the scene was anything but calm. It made the bird activity at Bird Island pale by comparison.
This bird is brown/grey all over except for the pale under wing coverts. The bill has external tube-like nostrils. I saw some similarity between the shape of these nostrils and the blow hole on the whales. I wonder if these birds blow out water....
The Sooty Shearwaters provided frequent fly-bys offering up lots of chances to practice panning the bird with the camera in the hopes of getting a crisp picture.
They would also quickly change direction and head straight toward us. With all eyes trained on the bird through view finders or scopes, it is a wonder no one was hit by these large birds.
Some birds would miss their mark and fail to turn before making a hard landing on the shore. These are definitely not shorebirds. When the birds flew in (interesting that it was only the Sooty Shearwaters that hit the beach, not the Greater) they were so awkward and clumsy on the beach. Few shots were taken of the beached birds because it would happen so fast, and it was a spectacle to see them struggle so as they tried to get back to water.
It looked like their legs couldn't support them on land, especially on uneven and obstacle-ridden areas. Once they hit a clear area of the beach closer to water, they began to start the run on shore that continued as they ran across the water and lifted off again.
I will show images of "water-walking" in my post for the Greater Shearwaters.
This was an amazing and exciting opportunity to see these sea birds up close and to be able to observe their feeding frenzy as I may never see anything like this again.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet Juvenile
For me it is hard to imagine that these shots are already a month old. I have clearly fallen behind in postings but that's okay. That just means that I have plenty of material for the future.
On one of those five sunny days in July I darted over to Bidgood's Park for a walk. It was a great surprise when I rounded a bend in the trail and came across a family of Ruby-crowned Kinglets. For a long time, I have heard the singing of a male kinglet. I think he sang throughout the whole nesting process. Then he stopped.
There were at least seven RC Kinglets in a small area on this day and this little one was very confident to just sit in the open and watch me. I returned to the area about a week later and there was not one kinglet to be found. In fact much of the very-busy activity in this park has faded away.
During my walk yesterday it was a job to find any birds. However, I did find two pockets of warblers, mostly Yellow, Black and White and Yellow-rumped. They were in the back of the park beyond the big rock by the river. There they were flitting around high in the tall trees. I followed them as they moved to the lower end of the open field.
While walking back to my car I happened upon another group of warblers and finches. I was just beginning to identify them when a family on bicycles passed by. The birds flushed farther from the trail and I didn't wait for them to return as the foot traffic was beginning to pick up on the main path. It is kind of sad in a way to see the throng of birds that flew in during the Spring fly out in the Fall. That's migration for you.

Little Blue Heron
It was mid-summer when the word went out that a Little Blue Heron had been spotted in a back yard in Logy Bay. Pictures documented its visit. It was not to be seen again for a few days until it was flushed at Jones Pond. It was never spotted in the Logy Bay area again.
Just a week or ten days ago, a birder spotted this Little Blue Heron in a marshy area in Blaketown. Birders wasted no time getting out to see it for fear that it would disappear again. A resident from a nearby community told me that this bird has been in the area for quite some time often flying over houses some 10 km away.
Yet, there were some birders who made the hour and one half trip only to miss seeing this Little Blue Heron. Could it possibly be the same one? Who knows. I made my trip down one morning and arrived around 9:30. The fog had not lifted and the day was not shaping up very well.
This bird was located behind a local business that had a fenced yard. The staff of the business took their role as host to this rare vagrant bird very seriously. They seemed to keep an eye on its whereabouts and happily guided a steady stream of bird watchers to its location.
When I arrived it was perched high atop a tree on the other side of the marsh, at times shrouded in fog. I waited and watched for about 45 minutes but it never moved. Since I wanted to squeeze in some shore bird searches in the day, I decided not to wait any longer.
I have seen a number of these birds in the South but this is my first one to see in Newfoundland. If you wait long enough, an exciting variety of species is eventually going to find itself right here.

Leach's Storm Petrel
August 7, 2011, a day of 70km winds, blowing rain and lots of fog, brought in a bird that is very rarely seen from shore. On that day many Leach's Storm Petrels were seen at Bellevue Beach and a Holyrood Harbour. Once the storm died down the petrels disappeared.
Seeing these birds was a special first for me. I rarely see sea birds unless I take a tour boat out to the islands. These birds behave quite differently from the puffins and murres that I see fairly often. They seem to walk on water. How fast must their legs move to keep them in one place on top of the water? This one that we found at Hollyrood Harbour was surfing the waves as it faced the wind.
These birds live for a long time. The average lifespan is 20 year while the oldest recorded lived 36 years. Food must be more healthy farther from shore. References report that these birds only come ashore to breed. Well, this was the exception to the rule. While quite uncommon, these birds seem to have been blown in shore by the high winds and they were having a great time!
While the Leach's Storm Petrels return to the North Atlantic each year to breed, it is very uncommon to be able to reach out and touch one from shore. Birders with scopes often report seeing them fly by at Cape Spear.

Sanderling - Bellevue Beach
On that blustery and wet day in August while birding Bellevue Beach, we saw a number of birds as reported earlier. Among them was this little Sanderling. While there were many Ruddy Turnstones and White-rumped Sandpipers, we only found this one little Sanderling. It was staying pretty close to the Ruddy Turnstones and as seen in this shot it is quite a bit smaller.
It is a wonder that it didn't blow away but little as it is, it seemed pretty stout. The truth is it was handling the conditions better than I was.
The Sanderling breeds in the Arctic Tundra and is a frequent visitor to Newfoundland during migration. This is my first time to get a look at one of these little birds while it still has some of its breeding plumage. The reddish color on its head will change to gray very soon.
There remains only one more bird to post from the Bellevue trip and it is the best one.

"The Help:" A Trip Back in Time
I grew up in Southeast Arkansas, not that far from Jackson, Mississippi during a time of much strife and turmoil. It was in 1957 when the Governor ordered the end of segregation at Little Rock Central High School. That set off a series of many tense moments and shameful behavior throughout the state for the next ten years. While the National Guard was called in for the Little Rock event to demonstrate a sense of urgency and protect the nine students who showed up to register in a white school, it took almost
ten years before all schools in the state were integrated.
The movie, "The Help," told a story of this period but from a perspective never told before. It was striking that it told a story, not of activists or of KKK, it told a story of the gentle souls who helped to hold many households together. Fear was omnipresent and well depicted in the story but the actual violence and shocking events that were unfolding and fueling the fear in every community in the South were omitted.
This was clearly a good decision as these stories have been told over and over in many movies including "Mississippi Burning" and "To Kill a Mockingbird." and so many more. The Little Rock Nine have been a sidebar in many other movies.
"The Help" was so powerful because of it authenticity of story, history and subtle detail. I wanted the movie to go on and on. It ended all too soon for me.
Having lived during that era and in that setting, I had a flood of memories of the great moments of our Help. The first picture above is my family home in Star City, Arkansas. Those pictured in this 1917 photo from left to right are my mother, my grandmother, my grandfather, my great grandmother and my grandfather's manservant. Missing from this picture is Miss Josie who had already been with the family for more than 10 years. She started out as the Help but quickly became family and my guess is that she was in the kitchen cooking.
We had a house for Josie on our land where she slept, but mostly she was in the main house all the time. She cooked and she cared for my mother for nearly 50 years.
When my mother was a toddler she was burned very badly over most of her body. Doctors didn't know if she would make it. It was Miss Josie who tended her wounds day in an day out to see her through to a full recovery completely void of physical scars. Miss Josie became family during that time.
Many years later one morning dawned when she didn't have breakfast ready for everyone when we woke up, it was clear something was wrong. Mother went out to her house and found that she had passed away in her sleep, all alone. It was a sad time for all of us.
By the time that I came along in the family we had two maids. Miss Josie ruled the kitchen. As it was a room surrounded by other rooms, there were four possible doors that I could enter the kitchen. She stood guard over all of them. I was not allowed in the kitchen unless it was mealtime or Saturday morning to feast on the cake batter left in the bowl and on the beaters. Is it any wonder that it was years later that a learned to cook. On the other hand my sister had a big interest in cooking and she was always welcome in the kitchen. I guess Miss Josie was afraid that my bouncing basketball or tennis racket would knock over some of her handiwork. Whatever the reason, I knew my place.
Over the years, the original house evolved into the other pictures above. Josie's house was torn down, huge oak trees were cut down, the house was renovated several times, and the three other family-owned homes were razed. By this time Emily had joined the family. She took care of the house and us. She did everything but the cooking that a family of five would need from cleaning, vacuuming, laundry, cleaning the fish and all things else. Somewhere along the line my sister started calling Emily by the name of Dean and that became the name that we all called her. Our mother had made it clear that Miss Josie and Dean were the boss of us! They made us laugh, they held us when we cried, they tended our scrapes and filled the house with song. Dean was full of old wives's tales and sayings. I clearly recall her making me get up our of my daddy's Lazy Boy chair when she vacuumed the carpet in the den. She would say, "Don't never let anyone vacuum under your feet or you will never get married." There was a lot of pressure on us southern girls to be sure to get married quickly. Another of Dean's favorite sayings when she wanted us to do something was...."I'll dance at your wedding." There were so many more pearls that came from these two strong, capable and loving women that were very much a part of our life.
After Miss Josie passed away Dean took over the kitchen and other help that frequently changed would come in to do the heavy cleaning. I have so many fond memories of those days. When I turned 16 it became my job to drive Dean home to the Mill Quarters on the other side of town. In those days with all that was going on white people were not welcome in this part of town. (The homes were exactly like those depicted in the movie.) Yet, because I was with Dean I always knew I was safe. Everyday, when she got out of the car she would caution me, "You get on home quickly now, don't tarry." I always heeded her words because I never felt quite as safe once she was out of the car.
Across the street from our school was a church filled with a large congregation of the Help and their families. I imagined the inside to be just like the scene in the movie. On many hot afternoons the school windows would be open and a funeral service would be happening in the tired old church. The sweet sound of spiritual music would waft from the open windows and cause my foot to tap. I remember thinking they don't sound sad but joyful. I always wanted to go there but couldn't of course.
When my sister got married, our family broke with all the rules of Southeast Arkansas. Dean was invited, not to handle all of the preparations of the reception but as a guest. She sat alone in the back of the church, and I was so proud to have her there. While no one danced at the wedding I watched as Dean shuffled rhythmically down the sidewalk from the church. I'm sure she had a song in her head and was working very hard at not breaking out into a full-on dance.
While there were some moments that could not be avoided, for the most part my sister and I were sheltered from the worst strife that overtook the South when people sought the real freedom that was promised at the end of the Civil War. There were times when we would happen upon a "sit in" and we would get as far away from the turmoil as possible. These were not easy times.
In "The Help," the authenticity of character, setting, daily routines, architecture, separate entrances, dishes, meals, glassware, diners, furniture, dress, and plot line transported me straight out of 2011 and right back to 1955 when we were embraced by two wonderful women who raised my sister and me. At that time, I was too young and innocent to really appreciate the hardships they had to endure. By 1966, I had lived and learned enough to better understand their plight but was unable to change things.
It was in 1969 while living out of the state that I learned that Dean had killed her husband in self-defence. All those years, she never let on that her home life was so hard. No charges were laid but she soon moved to Detroit to live with her children who I never knew. I never saw nor heard from her again, and I have missed her terribly just as Mother must have missed poor ole Miss Josie.
With the release of this great movie, "The Help," I'm sure many, many people of the South are reliving either good or bad memories of the role they played in this era. For those who find this story so foreign to their life experiences, it is a very important and poignant slice of history that needs to be told to prevent history from repeating itself.

White-rumped Sandpiper
'Tis the season for shore birding. That means rain or shine I gotta get out there in the hopes of seeing a rarity as well as better learn the more common shore birds that frequent our beaches.
Such was the case about a week ago when a birding friend and I took on a cold and nasty day in August in search of a verified sighting of a Pacific Golden Plover. With a great deal of gumption we pulled our hoods up, covered our gear and started a long, wet and windy walk down Bellevue Beach.
Along the way we found many Ruddy Turnstones and White-rumped Sandpipers. For me it was my first time to get a good look at the White-rumped and frankly, I misidentified it. What a surprise! When I later learned that I had photographed the White-rumped, I had to go to the books and study yet again.
It may have been the conditions of the day that kept these birds fairly close and on the ground allowing for good looks. Who would want to fly in 70km winds?
Happy to see these birds but still hoping to see the elusive Pacific Golden Plover, we trekked on through tall grass and soaking bog. With freezing fingers, drenched shoes and pants, we thought surely our misery would be rewarded. Well, it was but not with what we expected. We both had our first look at a Leach's Storm Petrel. More on that in a later post.
It must have been well over two hours that we searched the beach and just stood and stared at the species so close to us. On that day we also got a glimpse of a small flock of White-winged Scoter. All things considered, we had a very fruitful day and even marvelled a little bit at our own stamina to endure the elements. It was truly a memorable day of birding.
Note: I have gathered a number of photos and have fallen behind a little in my postings. I will eventually get them all up but, you see, Summer arrived this week, and I am so enjoying the warm weather. I really thought that Summer was going to skip Newfoundland this year. Also, migration is beginning and birds are moving around again. I must follow.

Investors are looking for yield, and in doing so, have pushed mining companies to return more capital in the form of dividends. Though there are more options for gold miners, silver investors do not have to ditch the sector to get a stream of income. Below are silver mining companies that have heeded the call and are paying dividends.
Pan American Silver Latest dividend: $0.125 Dividend yield: 3.96 percent With a dividend yield near 4 percent, Pan American Silver (TSX:PAA,NASDAQ:PAAS) tops this list. The company announced in February a 150-percent hike in its dividend, to $0.125, making its annual rate $0.50 per common share. That is the fourth and largest increase the company has implemented since it started paying dividends in 2010. Having paid out $24.9 million, or $0.175 per common share, in 2012, Pan American's payments were already more than twice the amount doled out in 2011. Pan American's chairman, Ross Beaty, said last year that the company maintains one of the best balance sheets in the business. Cash generation is exceptional and the dividend is well supported, assuming silver and gold prices remain at or above current levels, he added. BMO Capital recently downgraded Pan American's stock because the company reduced its silver price forecast for 2013. Still, there does not appear to be an imminent threat to shareholders' rewards. The company's 2012 annual report notes record liquidity and states that $193 million of cash flow from operations is enough to fund all capital programs. Silvercorp Metals Latest dividend: C$0.025 Dividend yield: 3.65 percent Silvercorp Metals' (TSX:SVM,NYSE:SVM) dividend history extends back further than any company on this list. Silvercorp began rewarding shareholders in 2007 with an annual dividend of C$.05 per share. The company's most recent hike was a 25-percent increase in November 2011, from $0.02 to $0.025, or $0.10 per share annualized.

HOUSTON -- To say Houston Astros fans were excited that their
team had signed future Hall of Fame pitcher Roger Clemens would be
an understatement.
The news about Clemens sparked a frenzy of season ticket sales
that eclipsed a similar surge after Houston last month signed
fellow hometown hero and pitcher Andy Pettitte, said John Sorrentino, vice president of ticket services.
"Probably in my 18 years in the business, this is the busiest
we've been since the opening of Minute Maid Park," Sorentino said,
though those calls included inquiries about parking and other
issues. "These are all calls about season tickets."
He said the ticket staff hasn't been able to address all the
requests, and hoped fans would be patient.
At the same time, some fans were cautious Monday about
declaring the team World Series bound this season with Clemens and
Pettitte now on the roster.
"We've got the hitting power. Now we've got the pitchers,"
Tony Anciso, 44, a plumber, said while playing pool at a sports bar
near downtown. "This should put an exclamation point in front of
the Astros for other teams to notice."
Clemens, 41, and the Astros agreed to a $5 million, one-year
contract on Monday. He spent his first 13 seasons in Boston, then
went to Toronto for two years before moving on for five seasons
with New York, where he won World Series titles in 1999 and 2000.
Anciso's friend, David Villalpando, was all smiles Monday.
"This is the best news we've heard for some time," he said.
"Now he's back to his roots, where he belongs."
Villalpando, who remodels homes, said he knows expectations will
be high for Clemens to help lead the Astros to their first World
"But if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen," he said. "It
would be nice, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to cry over it."
Still Villalpando couldn't help but excitedly point at one of
the bar's televisions when an image of Clemens putting on his new
Astros jersey appeared on screen.
"Look, there's No. 22, the Rocket," he said, referring to
Clemens' jersey number and his nickname.
Villalpando said he's just hoping for the Astros to make the
playoffs and get past the first round. The Astros haven't won a
playoff series in franchise history.
"If it doesn't happen this year, it's never going to happen,"
he said.
Charles Satterfield, 42, an energy trader, said he doesn't
believe there will be tremendous pressure for the Astros to make it
to the World Series with Clemens now on the team.
"I don't think (the fans) are going to put that kind of
pressure on the team because they never have," he said. Clemens is
"doing it just for the sheer fun of the game. It's the dream of a
kid who's made it big and is coming back home."
Randy Martinez, 46, a digital operator, said he's somewhat
skeptical about the Astros' chances, even with Clemens.
"I don't expect much. I hope I'm wrong," he said. "They have
to get it done now."
Satterfield said he expects Clemens' signing to be a big boost
to attendance and fan interest.
"It'll be great for the city," he said. "It'll be great for
the game."

"Setup can't find the lotus Notes or Domino in your system path"
This Article Covers
Domino Resources - Part 2
I tried to install Lotus Enterprise Integration on the same machine as the Domino Server R 5.04. During the installation, it gave me the following error message "Setup can't find the lotus Notes or Domino in your system PATH". I already checked the HKey_Local_Machine and found the correct path.
For some reason the LEI install cannot find the DLLs it needs to perform the install. There must be something wrong with your path such that LEI cannot find Notes. Try moving the Notes/Domino reference in your system path to the beginning of the list.

Since the 5.0 upgrade, I'm no longer collecting events from my inventory. Before the upgrade, they were collected just fine.
Also, I used to be able to see all the events for a group - so I could look at all the server events in the same location. It appears that option is no longer there- is there a substitute for it?
Jan 21, 2011 at 9:18 UTC
I'm wondering at this point if it would be a better move to wipe this and do a fresh install. I am not using the work orders stuff yet, so it would really only be a matter of rebuilding my AD integration and redoing authentication. Apparently I have lost event history already, so no real losses there.
This topic was created during version 5.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Is your schedule scan running regularly and seems to be otherwise ok? Does anything change with the scheduled scan after you manually rescan some of the computers that are not getting the event information picked up?
Have you also tried a schedule scan with the scan speed set to slow, incremental disabled and scanner set to send all data instead of deltas?
Jan 19, 2011 at 1:23 UTC
The scheduled scan is running regularly and picking up new machines, but it kind of acts like it doesn't see the old ones. I have nearly 800 scan errors and a similar number of offline devices that I know are not offline. I am not really sure how to troubleshoot this, to be honest.
Yes, I saw the note about changing the scan settings and did so, but this didn't help. Also important to note that the scan ran with fast + incrementals ran perfectly fine, day in and day out for 2 years before this upgrade.
Jan 19, 2011 at 2:48 UTC
After I first upgraded to 5.0, I had a few devices (mostly printers) that seemed to randomly switch from online to offline and vice versa. A manual rescan of those generally fixed that, as well as making sure that DNS was clean for those devices. I've also had the odd issue with software not getting reported properly, but a manual rescan seems to fix it going forward.
Another odd issue that started for me in 5.0 was with phantom devices; non-existent IP addresses showing up as devices. There is a workaround for that.
I've seen many reports of incremental:enabled causing problems, so I'd recommend that to stay off. For the other two, I wanted to know if you'd tried a full scheduled scan with those settings (not necessarily keep them there).
Another thing that might help to troubleshoot is to make sure verbose logging is turned on, if you haven't done that already. Then start with a problem device and see what related errors show up in the scan log.
Jan 19, 2011 at 4:20 UTC
My entire network is this way. I've checked and I am picking up no software, events, configuration details, etc. The warranty is about the only thing it reads.
I turned on verbose scanning, manually scanned one of my servers and tried searching for its name in the various logs in Spiceworks\log\, but I can't make heads or tails of what's there.
I did go through the scan errors and it looks like there's a ton of "Windows does not respond", "permission or firewall problem" and "authentication failed for user". But the admin accounts I was using for authentication haven't changed. I created a new local login with admin permissions and used it for the scan and that didn't solve the problem either.
Nothing has changed in terms of network security.
Jan 20, 2011 at 9:22 UTC
Have you tried running the wmic test from your SW server to any of your client PCs using the same account as the one you use for the full scan? Does that go through ok or do you get an error?
How are your DNS records? Are there any stale records (forward or reverse) that could be adding to the problem?
Jan 20, 2011 at 1:57 UTC
DNS is fine - plus, plenty of the machines that are not being scanned are fixed IPs with DNS names. WMI returns information just fine from the command line.
All of this makes sense, as this Spiceworks server/install has worked fine for a couple of years. It only broke with the 5.0 upgrade.
Jan 20, 2011 at 2:20 UTC
There was someone else I was trying to help with some strange problems that didn't make a lot of sense, after they upgraded. They finally reported back that they had some database corruption and were working directly with SW support to get that cleaned up.
If you do have database corruption, contacting SW support would be best as they have the best tools to help you out.
Jan 21, 2011 at 9:18 UTC

Jan 21, 2011 at 9:59 UTC
Perhaps. I think it would be worthwhile to collect up your logfiles and send them to support whether or not you decide to wipe and start fresh.

WASHINGTON–Pounded by a fierce financial crisis, the country is sinking deeper into economic despair that has pushed the number of newly laid-off workers to a 16-year high, with problems likely to stretch well into next year.
With economic troubles cutting into customers' appetites, cost-cutting businesses dropped the ax harder.
New claims filed for unemployment insurance zoomed last week to 542,000, the highest since the summer of 1992, when the nation was recovering from a recession, the Labour Department reported Thursday. The latest news on the crucial jobs market was worse than analysts expected. They had forecast a small decline in claims.
Meanwhile, the number of people continuing to draw jobless benefits climbed to more than 4 million, the highest in just over a quarter-century. Those figures partly reflect growth in the labor force, which has increased by about half since the early 1980s, but nonetheless underscore the difficulties of people trying to find work.
The grim news follows a gloomy outlook from the Federal Reserve and diminishing hope that Congress can secure a fresh $25 billion rescue package for the tottering U.S. auto industry before lawmakers quit for the year.
Despite a flurry of bold government actions, including $700 billion financial bailout package now being rolled out by the Treasury Department, financial and economic problems rage on.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson – who is overseeing the rescue effort – will deliver an assessment of the economy in a speech Thursday in Simi Valley, Calif.
Paulson's outlook comes one day after the Federal Reserve dramatically lowered its projections for economic activity this year and next, and signaled that additional interest rate reductions may be needed to revive the economy.
Given all the worrisome economic news, Wall Street nosedived. The Dow Jones industrials on Wednesday lost 427 points, or about 5 per cent, at 7,997 – its lowest close since March 2003.
To cushion Americans from all the fallout, many economists believe the Fed will ratchet down its key interest rate – now at 1 percent – by one-quarter or one-half percentage point on Dec. 16, the last session of the year for its policy-making committee.
The economy will log little, if any, growth this year, and could jolt into reverse, according to various Fed projections released Wednesday. And, the frailty will extend into next year, the Fed said, where the economy could shrink or turn in subpar growth.
The economy "would remain very weak next year" and "the subsequent pace of recovery would be quite slow," the Fed said in its new economic projections. "The unemployment rate would increase substantially further.''
The Fed projected that the national unemployment rate will rise to between 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent this year. That would be up sharply from last year's average rate of 4.6 percent.
For 2009, the Fed expects the jobless rate to climb to between 7.1 percent and 7.6 percent.
General Motors Corp. Chief Executive Rick Wagoner, meanwhile, warned the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday that the collapse of the U.S. auto industry could lead to a loss of 3 million jobs within the first year.
Top Senate Democrats suggested a bill to rescue Detroit's Big Three was stalled, and they challenged the Bush administration to act to save the industry if congressional efforts falter. The White House rebuffed the suggestion.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada sought to lower expectations of reaching a deal on the $25 billion proposal before Congress quits for the year. Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., called the possibility of reaching agreement "remote.''
Meanwhile, with economic slowdowns both in the U.S. and overseas, inflation will moderate, the Fed predicted.
On that front, American consumers got a reprieve and saw prices actually fall by a record amount in October, just a few months after getting hammered by runaway costs.
The shift away from inflation worries to a possible bout of dropping prices, or "deflation," however, underscored just how quickly dangers faced by the economy can change in what many fear will be a painful recession.
For the average person, falling prices sure sounds like a good thing. But a prolonged and widespread price decline – which would drag down incomes, further clobber home and stock prices and shrivel corporate profits – would spell disaster for the economy. All that would make it harder for people and businesses to pay off debt.
America's last serious case of deflation occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s. For now, economists think the chances are slim that the country will tip into a deflationary spiral. But they aren't ruling it out, either.
The Fed, in documents Wednesday, said "more aggressive easing'' of interest rates "should reduce the odds of a deflationary outcome.''
Once established, deflation is hard for Fed policymakers to break. That's partly because the Fed can lower its key rate only so far – to zero – to combat it.

The mid-size GS has always been the most fashionable four-door of the Lexus lineup, but that's not paid any big dividends since the first-generation, Giugiaro-penned original. A slow seller since, the GS has been rebooted this year with a look that's polarizing in lots of ways--in our virtual office, in photos, even within the GS' skin itself.
It's competing for attention from all angles, this GS, from its own more formal roofline to the sharklike snout that's the "new face of Lexus." Like it or not--and some of do, quite a bit--the double-boomerang frames the grille and makes the shape instantly identifiable. It's not yet cliched, though we might feel differently once it wends its way across everything from the LFA supercar to the RX 350 crossover. That said, the striking effect gets undercut by the busy strakes and foglights that ruffle underneath on F Sport cars, by the LED underliner on the headlamps.
It's not entirely related to the rest of the car, either. Of all the GS sedans we've seen flow out of Lexus' studios, this one's the most upright. The side glass and the cut of the D-pillar echoes strongly of the 2002-2010 BMW 7-Series, where the GS' entire history put low, sleek lines higher on the honey-do list. At first glance challenging and bristling with detail and surface excitement, the GS 350 settles down quickly and comfortably into your brain.
The cabin does something similar, even as it executes a 180-degree turn from the softly rounded, smoothly deployed ghost of Lexus past. There's a spartan vibe underneath that emanates from the horizontally themed dash, something akin to a Nakamichi sound system, all work while it plays, while cool LED ambient lighting glows around the perimeter and a high-resolution display sucks in all the attention, away from beautiful, big gauges. Real wood trim softens the cabin up well, while F Sport cars wear metallic-printed plastic that sounds less appealing than it looks. Padded leather panels in rich, deep hues keep the subtext alive: we're looking at something that's more live-performance studio than traditional Lexus library.

Articles tagged with: netbook
With the introduction of so many gadgets and devices all around the world, now the demand for cheap computers has ended and now people desire for performance and better features in their computers.
Now people are concerned with buying either a low-priced tablet or an extremely good computer. Intel's netbook was a success due to it's low price, but now the netbook might not attract so many people as it did before.
If you thought Apple was the only one who made awesome, stylish laptops, think again. The elite gaming company, Razer, has just showed off a new concept laptop called the Switchable and it is powered by Intel Atom.
Intel has just shipped two ultra-low voltage Celeron processors, designed for budget netbooks and laptops. The two chips offer speed and performance for all types of users.
I am a huge fan of tablets, and am also a huge fan of the Android operating system, so when I hear that there is a new Android tablet, I go a little crazy. According to Digitimes, Acer is working on a slideout Android tablet. No clue on whether the QWERTY keyboard will be similar to a laptop keyboard or not, but I am really hoping it will have laptop-style keys.

Domain networks
One of the APOLLON objectives is to ensure the sustainability of a cross-border network of Living Labs and activities after the project completion.
Sustainable Living Lab networks for each APOLLON domain were then established and launched for the four domais of Wellbeing, Health, Inclusion; Energy & Environment; eParticipation, Media & Creativity and Manufacturing leveraging the experience of the pilot (in cross border collaboration in Living Lab) in the Project.
The APOLLON Living Lab Domain Networks are designed to respond to the following two basic functions:
- Spread information and best cases (based on the experience of cross border collaboration experienced in the project);
- Offer cross-border Living Lab tests as-a-services (from a small number of Living Lab within the Domain Network identified by the process and before the official launch).
To this extent and based on the interaction with different project work-packages the Domain Living Lab networks were designed to operate on the following three levels:
- 1st level – free SMEs access level, granting networking for cross border collaboration, first evaluation of SMEs need and expectations for operating in the domain;
- 2nd level – access to Domain Network dedicated Services (i.e. consulting services) by accessing APOLLON Market place gateway (with services description, prices or quotations etc.);
- 3rd level – establishment of specific collaboration for building projects and consortia partnerships.
The Services available from the Core Partners of the Domain Network are accessible from the APOLLON Market place at: https://apollonsap.ibbt.be
You can access full Domain Living Lab Network charters for the four APOLLON Domains at:

Nice looking
It arrived and the piece that held the top on had broken off, I called Overstock that night and they made it right for me. Other than that it's nice, but I have kids and the top seemed like it would cave in so I put some plywood behind it to reinforce the top so my kids can play on it. The color and size is nice. We have it in our living room and it has been great.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
