Would you hesitate lyrics[C-Murder]
This song right here don't pertain to my most loved. P, Silkk, my cousin
Jimmy, my closest family. This is a question to all my closest homies that I
die for cause I love y'all
Reed full lyrics />A body can't live without a soul up in it
When you dead aint no second chance, but alive aint no limit
So you bein TRU to yourself
Well then die for something, then somebody else
I'm surrounded by more thugs then my eyes can see
But I still ask the question how many y'all would bleed for me
I'm C-Murder, but that don't mean shit to a bullet
I make moves with Silkk, cause I know he gonna pull it
I ask P the true meaning of being a brother
He said just some niggas that would die for each other
And can't be seperated by money and bitches
When apart we poor, but together we richer
Life is complicated like a game of chess
Anticipating check mate is like waiting for death
If I'm gonna die give the king his life
That's why I ask my soldiers would you ever think twice
If I ask the question would you all be true
Would you ride for me like I'm a ride for you
And when times get hard and my life's at stake
Would you hesitate to eliminate x2
I got a question for Boz, would you ride for me?
To them Deli boys nigga would you die for me?
To my homies Kane and Abel would you kill for me?
If a motherfucker wasn't being real to me
And Fiend and Mac, I know you ready to roll
Cause the three of us done been through some shit before
Mia X, I know you always got my back
The Gambino's stay strapped, and me and Prime Suspect
Been shedding tears on the block forever
Just like Big Ed been TRU forever
Mystikal, nigga, would you pop that fool
But not before Serv-On gonna hit that fool
And then he gonna have you looking silly for sure
While V and ???? been watching the door
No Limit stay TRU cause we thugs forever
Would you hesitate, nigga, would you hesitate? NEVER!
Chorus x4

Well that was until something happened. I was going to be a normal tribute when I was called during the Reaping, but then my sister, Katniss Everdeen, volunteered for me. I am so happy my sister came back home. I would I have missed her so much if she had died. After Katniss got back things changed, a lot. My mom is someone who helps injured people. After Katniss got home a lot more people were getting injured so things got crazy. Well this is my life for now..... but I heard it gets worse.

Thanks for your question. My name is***** will work on this for you now and ask you to complete the star rating when you have a complete appraisal. Welcome to JustAnswer and it will be my pleasure to help you. I will come back to you with a reply soon.
To do this, can you tell me if this piano has been regularly tuned and maintained? Have any of the internal mechanics been replaced or restored over the years or is it all still as originally built? Also if you could attach the pictures, particularly if you have any of the internal mechanics on here, using the paperclip or the +Add button on the menu bar in the reply section, that would be very helpful.

So I am now following up to see if you need any further help on this question please? If you would like me to complete the work I have started for you and continue with the appraisal to give you a valuation please let me know. If it is a problem with getting the pictures on here, I can continue without them if that is easier for you. Thank you. John.

As a result of ongoing probes into the short- and long-term effects of concussions in football, other sports are looking into whether additional steps can be taken to protect their athletes. Among them is water polo, and a novel research venture that includes UC Irvine scientists, coaches and athletes is helping.
The effort got rolling when James Hicks ŌĆō a scientist, avid fan and father of three sons who played the sport ŌĆō searched an NCAA database for concussion information related to water polo. But his inquiry came up empty.
ŌĆ£There was none,ŌĆØ says Hicks, professor of ecology & evolutionary biology at UC Irvine. ŌĆ£And given UCIŌĆÖs historic place in the sport and the collaborative mission of the university, it became clear that we should take on this issue.ŌĆØ
HicksŌĆÖ research focuses on evolutionary physiology. While heŌĆÖs best known in science circles for his work on alligator cardiovascular systems, he also directs UCIŌĆÖs innovative Exercise Medicine & Sport Sciences Initiative, which unites an interdisciplinary cadre who share an interest in physical activity and its relationship to health. And heŌĆÖs drawing on their expertise ŌĆō with the assistance of USA Water Polo, the national governing body for the sport ŌĆō to compile the first real data set on head impact injuries and concussions in water polo.
ŌĆ£Jim is the first in the world to look into these deeper issues in water polo, and itŌĆÖs great,ŌĆØ says Dan Klatt, UCI womenŌĆÖs water polo head coach. ŌĆ£Our sport is a physical one, and we need to ask whether concussions are a real problem in the sport and if weŌĆÖre using the proper equipment to protect our athletes. This study takes a giant step forward in order to answer that question.ŌĆØ
Although head injuries and concussions do happen in water polo, information about their prevalence is, so far, primarily anecdotal. Hicks and his collaborators aim to provide a factual basis for considering whether such injuries are sufficiently common that they need to be addressed and, if so, how best to do this.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a hard sport,ŌĆØ Hicks says. ŌĆ£Head butts, elbows, shoulders ŌĆō and at the highest levels, players throw the ball as fast as 50 miles an hour at short distances. Goalies appear to be most at risk, but we want to obtain scientific data to assess that risk, as well as seeing what other positions in the pool may be prone to concussion injury.ŌĆØ
The study has three components. In one, Dr. Steven Small, professor and chair of neurology at UCI, and Robert Blumenfeld, assistant adjunct professor of neurology at UCI, will oversee an email survey of water polo players, who will be asked a number of questions about how long theyŌĆÖve been in the sport, what positions theyŌĆÖve played, and the number of serious head blows theyŌĆÖve received. USA Water Polo will assist in the survey by inviting its 40,000 members to participate.
In the second project ŌĆō now almost done ŌĆō UCI engineering students shot water polo balls at a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-certified crash-test dummy head to gauge the impact of blows at various speeds and levels of inflation. In addition, they measured the effectiveness of protective headgear. The results are currently being analyzed.
In the third component, Hicks will outfit UCI menŌĆÖs and womenŌĆÖs water polo players with small G-force monitors incorporated into standard water polo caps to record the intensity of head impacts. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs challenging to understand whatŌĆÖs going on in the game, and the monitors will help,ŌĆØ he says.
The long-term goal is to broaden the study and outfit more college, high school and age-group teams with these devices. Several local water polo programs have expressed interest in the headgear monitoring, and Hicks is scheduled to give a presentation on it at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles.
He notes that this is a particularly opportune time for the study, given water poloŌĆÖs recent growth in popularity. According to Christopher Ramsey, CEO of USA Water Polo, participation is increasing dramatically, especially among women. Water polo is the fastest-growing sport in California high schools, and the NCAA administers an expanding number of menŌĆÖs and womenŌĆÖs varsity teams across the nation. ItŌĆÖs a sport on the rise.
According to Klatt, the mecca of water polo is here in Orange County, where highly competitive high schools and club teams produce a steady stream of the worldŌĆÖs top talent. USA Water Polo is based in Huntington Beach, and the menŌĆÖs and womenŌĆÖs national teams practice at Santa AnaŌĆÖs Segerstrom High School and at the organizationŌĆÖs training center in Los Alamitos, respectively.
UCI holds a unique position in this epicenter. Its former menŌĆÖs coach, the legendary Ted Newland, profoundly influenced the sport; his UCI teams won three NCAA championships and finished second seven times. And the Exercise Medicine & Sport Sciences Initiative allows UCIŌĆÖs world-class researchers, coaches and athletes to collaborate in fresh and inventive ways.
ŌĆ£This is a great opportunity for a national governing body to assist a world-class university in groundbreaking research,ŌĆØ says USA Water PoloŌĆÖs Ramsey. ŌĆ£Universities in the U.S. have a distinctive role with sport, and because thereŌĆÖs a close relationship between USA Water Polo and UCI, we start with a stronger bond to work on an issue like this. We both bring valuable perspectives to this enterprise.ŌĆØ
The crash-test dummy exercise is already providing some interesting ŌĆō if preliminary ŌĆō results. While Hicks stresses that more analysis is needed, he says the data indicates that ball inflation does matter, with less-inflated, softer balls absorbing more energy upon impact.
In addition, newly developed silicon-based protective headgear ŌĆō the kind not approved for NCAA play ŌĆō appears to reduce impact forces by as much as 25 percent. However, Hicks points out, the precise relationship between head impacts and concussion rates requires more study, both in the lab and in the pool.
ŌĆ£I love science, and IŌĆÖm a fan of the game, and I want to see what we can do for water polo,ŌĆØ Hicks says. ŌĆ£This is exciting stuff.ŌĆØ

Paul Clement is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Paul served as the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States from June 2005 until June 2008. Before his confirmation as Solicitor General, he served as Acting Solicitor General for nearly a year and as Principal Deputy Solicitor General for over three years.
He has argued over 80 cases before the United States Supreme Court, including McConnell v. FEC, Tennessee v. Lane, Rumsfeld v. Padilla, Credit Suisse v. Billing, United States v. Booker, MGM v. Grokster, ABC v. Aereo, and Hobby Lobby v. Burwell. He has argued before the Supreme Court 30 times in just the last five terms. Paul has argued more Supreme Court cases since 2000 than any lawyer in or out of government. He has also argued many important cases in the lower courts, including Walker v. Cheney, United States v. Moussaoui, and NFL v. Brady.
Paul's practice focuses on appellate matters, constitutional litigation, and strategic counseling. He represents a broad array of clients in the Supreme Court and in federal and state appellate courts. Last year, for example, he successfully argued Supreme Court cases involving significant issues of energy regulation, religious liberty, state sovereign immunity and labor law, and successfully argued an arbitration appeal to the Second Circuit, a preemption appeal to the Eighth Circuit, a constitutional appeal before the en banc Third Circuit, and secured the reversal of an adverse jury verdict in the Eleventh Circuit.
Paul focuses on high-stakes appeals. In recent years, he successfully defended a $1.2 billion jury verdict for clients in a Tenth Circuit case, while securing the reversal of an over $2 billion jury verdict for another client in the Seventh Circuit and the approval of a nearly billion dollar class action settlement in the Third Circuit. He has initiated major administrative law challenges and constitutional litigation against the federal government, such as the airlines' challenge to fee increases and the First Amendment challenge in Allergan v. United States. He also counsels clients on a variety of strategic legal questions, whether arising from pending legislation, government inquiries or ongoing litigation.
He has undertaken substantial pro bono engagements in the Supreme Court, such as twice successfully representing the defendant in Bond v. United States and successfully representing the Omaha Tribe in Nebraska v. Parker, the guardian ad litem in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, and the defendant in Sekhar v. United States.
Following law school, Paul clerked for Judge Laurence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and for Associate Justice Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court. After his clerkships, he went on to serve as Chief Counsel of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism and Property Rights.
Paul is a Distinguished Lecturer in Law at the Georgetown University Law Center, where he has taught in various capacities since 1998, and a Distinguished Lecturer in Government at Georgetown University. He also serves as a Senior Fellow of the Law Center's Supreme Court Institute.

Weekend reading: The best investing books of 2014 (some of which I even read)
Good reads from around the Web.
I am determined to read more books in 2015. The Internet's vast buffet is fabulous for knowledge gluttons like me, but there's something about getting stuck in the world of a good book that's the antithesis of all that hyperactive hyperlinking.
Is there a slow reading movement? I won't Google it to find out…
Instead, here's some books from 2014 that I've either read or wish I had.
It's not too late to grab one for Christmas for the investing nerd in your life – which may well be you.
(All blue titles take you to the Amazon listing.)
The Education of a Value Investor
I have recommended this account by a chastened hedge fund manager to all my active investing friends, but I get the impression few have read it. That's a shame – there's true wisdom and humility here.
Fast Forward: The Technologies and Companies Shaping Our Future
This is the book to read if you want to win from the shift to robotics, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and all the rest of it, rather than risk being left on the scrapheap.
Saving the City: The Great Financial Crisis of 1914
This came out at the fag end of 2013, and I missed it until Merryn mentioned it in the FT. For anyone who likes a good crash!
Boy Plunger Jesse Livermore: The Man Who Sold America Short
Like many seasoned active investors, I've poured through Jesse Livermore's infamous recollections for trading tips. But his real-life was just as outlandish as his stock market punting.
The Innovators: How a Group of Inventors, Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution
Some say this could be the definitive history of the creative geniuses and smart engineers who made the modern world.
Capital in the Twenty-First Century
No, I've not read Thomas Piketty's vast, headline hogging explanation of rising inequality yet, either. Reviews were mixed. I agree there's a problem though.
Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration
One of the best stockpickers I know never reads about investing, but he gorges on books about business. This one by a Pixar founder is a favourite.
The Shifts and the Shocks
Martin Wolf of The Financial Times has been one of the most clear-headed guides throughout the past seven years of dislocations in the financial and economic spheres. Here he sums up what he thinks we've learned – and what we've yet to appreciate.
Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises
You're probably not supposed to find former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's book laugh-out-loud funny, but I snorted my way through it. More bitchy and candid than we'd any right to expect.
Shredded: Inside RBS, the Bank That Broke Britain
Remember Fred Goodwin? Author Ian Fraser does. Rave reviews.
Passive investing books
I didn't read any new and definitive passive investing books aimed at the UK in 2014. The good news is my co-blogger, The Accumulator, swears he's going to pull together his own book in 2015! But for now I can only point yet again to Monevator contributor Lars Kroijer's Investing Demystifiedand Tim Hale's doughty Smarter Investing. Both books are barely a year old.
Have a good one
We have an article to come on Tuesday admitting that investing in risk premiums may not be all that, and I'll try to pull together a best of 2014 selection for next Saturday.
Otherwise, it's time for a mini break. Hope you enjoy yours, too.
Merry Christmas!

text: Updated from 2:50 p.m. EDT Shares of Vernalis ( VNLS) were easily among the best-performing health care stocks Wednesday, after the U.K.-based company announced a licensing agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals ( ENPD). Vernalis will license its Frova migraine drug to Endo Pharmaceuticals in exchange for an up-front fee of $30 million, anniversary payments for the first two years of $15 million each year and a $40 million milestone payment contingent upon Frova winning Food and Drug Administration approval for menstruation-associated migraine. The milestone payments increase as specific sales targets are reached. In all, milestone payments could total as much as $255 million. Shares of Vernalis traded up $2.39, or 136.6%, to $4.14. Neurocrine Biosciences ( NBIX) rose after the company said it would submit new drug applications for its insomnia treatment to the FDA early in the fourth quarter. One application will be submitted for an immediate-release formulation of the drug and one for a modified release version. The company said that based on all completed clinical studies there are no safety issues that would deter it from filing the applications with the FDA. Shares of Neurocrine Biosciences traded up $3.69, or 7.7%, to $51.69. Shares of Bruker Biosciences ( BRKR) fell after the company reduced its earnings and sales outlook for the second quarter. It now expects to report a loss of 3 cents to 5 cents a share vs. previous guidance of break-even to 2 cents a share. It also said that sales would now be in the range of $63 million to $65 million vs. previous guidance of between $70 million and $74 million. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call had expected it to earn 1 cent a share on sales of $71.6 million. Bruker said a longer sales cycle led to the second-quarter shortfall. Shares of Bruker Biosciences traded down 55 cents, or 11.6%, to $4.20.

Ne-Yo initially announced the tour for December 2016 but has rescheduled the tour due to a conflicting schedule.
The singer has previously committed to a TV project and a change in its production schedule conflicted with his initial tour dates.
"My fans all over the world mean so much to me. I deeply regret having to reschedule. But I will be back in March and will deliver an unforgettable performance," said Ne-Yo.
Tickets, already purchased, will be honoured on the rescheduled dates. Refunds will be available from point of purchase.

What steps need to be taken for appropriate stroke rehabilitation?
My 30 year old sister had bi-lateral thalamic stroke about 2 months ago due to a rare syndrome caused by the Lupus she's had for 8 years. The syndrome is Antiphospholipid syndrome. She currently has a Tracheostomy, a feeding tube and a catheter. She doesn't move much, but does have some movement on her left side and does not speak. My question would be - what steps need to be taken for appropriate rehabilitation? We feel that after her discharge from the hospital, we were pretty much "left on our own" to try and find her a good rehabilitation facility. She has been home for 1 month, and it's been hard to say the least. We try to make her as comfortable as possible, but find it very challenging to do so without her being able to communicate or move (though she moves her left side a lot). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Very sorry to hear about this situation.
I think the best thing to do is make an appointment as soon as possible with her Internist (Primary Care Physician). Although the Internist will likely not be able to help very much for these specific issues, he/she can refer your sister to a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Doctor (Physiatrist) urgently, who could hopefully come up with a "plan of attack" for her rehabilitation. This would likely involve some combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, done either at her home or at a facility. Those therapists are essential for her long term improvement.
In addition, if by "catheter" you mean "foley catheter", this needs to come out very soon. I would also ask for a referral to a Urologist at the earliest convenience, so that her foley catheter can be taken out and diapers used. Foley catheters are not a good long term option, leading to innumerable urinary tract infections and weakening of the urethra and bladder. I would ask your physician how that can be removed ASAP.

Adult Day Care may be an option for your sister. Most medical adult day cares offer therapeutic programming for stroke patients as well as outpatient rehabilitation.
You have hit the black hole of stroke rehabilitation knowledge. Nobody will tell you anything because they don't know. Not being told anything about the stroke or how to rehab is extremely common. Don't bother going to the stroke associations they are not for survivors. If your doctors were good they would show you a 3d image of your scan mapped onto a brain and describe the penumbra damage and what functions were damaged. Then they would describe the dead brain areas and the functions those covered. You can try asking your doctors but they will use the Sargeant Schultz reply, ' I know nuthin'. The problem is that everyone looks at the symptom of the deficits rather than the cause, which is the damage to the brain. You probably need to train your doctors in these concepts. Best place to get answers would be to read Peter Levines blog - http://recoverfromstroke.blogspot.com/ and read his book, Stronger After Stroke. join a number of stroke forums strokeboard.net dailyStrength, MedHelp, Healthboards, 3 different ones on ning.com What you will need to understand is neuroplasticity, that is the basis of all recovery. Sorry about being negative but the medical community is still 2400 years in the past when Hippocratic dictum that "˜It is impossible to cure a severe attack of apoplexy and difficult to cure a mild one' Good luck. Dean
I would like to make a non medical suggestion. I have been working for a compnay named Home Instead. We go to homes of Seniors and people needing company. I have seen such a change in people. We are just companions. We laugh, watch TV, read books or play games. The family has time off from the patient. We do no medical advise or therapy just companionship. Our patients look forward to our visits and I have seen such changes in them. Just an idea...
The expert answer about following up with your sister's primary care physician is really important. They will give you the referrals you need and get you started.
In addition, I recommend that you read the books My Stroke of Insight, by Jill Bolte Taylor and Living With Stroke by Senelick, Rossi and Dougherty.
Also, think about how much cognitive impairment your sister has. Is it just her physical abilities that have changed, or has she got mental difficulties too? If her mind is not impacted, her emotions might be - she might react in funny ways or be easily frustrated. Be patient with her - it's not her fault and there's nothing she can do to change it.
Good luck to you and your sister!

Francesco Russo's Paris inspiration
Francesco Russo was adopted by Paris.
The Italian shoe designer made a name for himself at Yves Saint Laurent. He joined the company in 2000 after a successful stint at Miu Miu, and is behind the label's famous The Cherry shoe and The Tribute, which is a favourite among stars like Mila Kunis, Kate Beckinsale and Demi Lovato.
"Paris adopted me 15 years ago when I started to work for Saint Laurent – it became home for me, but you can find inspiration everywhere," Francesco told Matches Fashion.
"My process of designing a collection is mostly opening my box of archive images, memories and things I am attracted to. When I start my collection, that box is open."
Francesco has been in the shoe game for 20 years and after honing his craft at major fashion houses, decided to go it alone with his eponymous label in 2013.
He feels a strong connection between his designs and the female body, and a high back and laces that go up the leg have become the brand's signature.
High shoes may be known to be uncomfortable, but Francesco is determined to overcome that.
"At the end of the day I do this job not to see my name on the insole, but to see many women wearing my shoes. Of course there is a strong design, but like a building you can make something beautiful and it will still collapse. With shoes, a woman can suffer. Beautiful and comfortable is all I am interested in. Making something beautiful just for beauty's sake and a woman walking badly doesn't interest me," he revealed.

text: Dirtyphonics - Walk In The Fire (Culprate Rmx) by Dirtyphonics published on 2013-02-13T22:18:15Z "Walk In The Fire" is metal/drum & bass track which combines the best of two worlds. "Walk in the Fire" kicks off with a guttural guitar grind before coalescing into an electro dubstep break fueled by screams and wild production. Setting the dance floor ablaze like never before, it injects a healthy helping of heavy metal intensity into a drum n' bass dubstep monster that claws right out of the box. This pure and raw track consists full of energy which will give you a boost for the entire day and night. It will both satisfy the metal- and dub-heads out there, so if you have a friend that's not fully convinced of the power of electronic music, this track might give them the little boost they need. Schoolboy comes with a Knife Party-like electro remix and Culprate makes an intense dubstep version out of it. The EP release is the latest release before their long-awaited Full Length "Irreverrence" comes out on Dim Mak Records on March 19th.

Warren Haynes Still Jamming For Charity
Warren Haynes is pleased to report that in 20 years of annual Christmas Jams in his hometown of Asheville, N.C., he's never once had to don a Santa cap. "I did that when I was a teenager once, and itWarren Haynes is pleased to report that in 20 years of annual Christmas Jams in his hometown of Asheville, N.C., he's never once had to don a Santa cap. "I did that when I was a teenager once, and it was humiliating," Haynes tells Billboard.com. "Never again."
He will, however, make sure there's a jolly spirit when the charity show celebrates its 20th anniversary with its first-ever two-night stand on Dec. 12-13 at the Asheville Civic Center. Performers for this year's blowout include Haynes' bands Gov't Mule and the Allman Brothers Band, along with the Del McCoury Band, the Derek Trucks Band, Steve Earle, Joan Osborne, Marty Stuart, Johnny Winter, an acoustic set by Michael Franti and more.
"I would've never guessed in a million years that this was even possible," Haynes says of the benefit's longevity. "Musically it's a one-of-a-kind event because it's maintained the openness and the improvisational spirit that's always been a part of it, even when it was in a small club.
"Now that it's become a national event, people come and wind up on stage with someone they've never met or maybe they met that day. In some cases they meet on stage that night. A lot of wonderful collaborations take place between people that are paired up that make it extremely interesting."
This year's Christmas Jam will be the eighth to earmark proceeds to Habitat For Humanity. The shows have raised $750,000 for the charity so far, including $125,000 from the 2007 show, and Haynes is hoping to hit the $1 million mark with this year's receipts.
"In the beginning we raised money for a lot of worthy causes -- homeless people, Vietnam vets, AIDS victims," Haynes explains. "We eventually stumbled onto Habitat For Humanity and just stayed with it 'cause it was nice to see where the money was going. These days when we raise X amount of dollars you turn around and see that become X amount of houses, and that's a beautiful thing."
Christmas Jam pre-sale tickets go on sale through Christmas Jam Ticketing at noon tomorrow (Nov. 5) and through Ticketmaster on Nov. 15. More performers and each day's schedules -- as well as details about a second Christmas Jam by Day daytime series and the first Christmas Jam Comedy Show with Lewis Black -- will be announced soon.

But locals say the federal government is paying more attention to other cities and many are still wondering if more could have been done to save lives. Constitucion residents rehearse how to respond to tsunamis and that is why many knew to run once the earth stopped shaking. Even so, many were still taken by the sea. Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo talks to some of the residents in the town, where search and rescue operations continue.Source: Al Jazeera

I've always loved art, but I find it a funny thing.
Some of the world's most celebrated artists nowadays can barely draw,
while sites like Etsy are full of incredibly talented people who you've never heard of.
The trick, of course, is to stand out from the crowd.
To have a thang.
At the start of this year, I decided to keep an art / sketch / written journal,
to track what is probably the most exciting and busy year of my life.
I set myself a rule to not get rid of any "mistakes" in my journal.
Something that makes it difficult to share pieces in which I can see the clear flaws,
but that also forces me to appreciate the beauty of something raw.
As well as documenting the incredible journey that 2012 has turned out to be,
I feel that it has helped me to reconnect with parts of me that I'd forgotten about.
When I was a teenager, I used to stay awake all hours of the night just sketching and sketching.
And over the years, I just kind of forgot to do it.
I've always loved trying out new things,
dabbling in whatever the latest craze is,
but give me a biro and a sketch pad...
that's my thang.
And even if it never makes me famous,
if my scribbles never make it onto a mug or a mouse mat,
it keeps me true to myself.

NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEAD: A WRITER ON WRITING By Margaret Atwood, Penguin, £ 5.60
Margaret Atwood is not one to offer glib answers. Her characters have always floated precariously on a sea of grey, and it is no surprise that when she speaks out as a writer that too, on writing she is careful not plunge into didacticism.
Negotiating with the Dead is a modified volume of six Empson Lectures she delivered at the University of Cambridge in 2000. This is Atwoods voice around the time of the creation of The Blind Assassin, and these essays are, in part, a confrontation of some issues she has grappled with during the evolution of the Booker Prize-winning novel. That book, in fact, holds the voice of three writers Atwood herself, and two characters behind the novel within the novel. The identity of the real writer of the fictional novel is forever shrouded. Through these lectures, she seems to be voicing some of these ambiguities. But there are no pat answers; most remain in the delicious space of possibility.
Atwood divides her attention equally among the six chapters. The first, she admits, is the most autobiographical, and those familiar with her work would be happy to revisit themes from Cats Eye. Her unconventional childhood led her to decide, at the age of 16, that she would be a writer that too a poet not a likely choice for a Canadian woman in 1956. She speaks of the writers she saw around her: They fell upon the thorns of life; they bled.
The writers duality again, a keynote of The Blind Assassin is the subject of the second section. The writer has to be separated from the work, she feels. The Romantic Byronians are proof that, sooner or later, the larger-than-life-writer bubble has to burst.
The discussion in the third chapter revolves around art for art versus art for a cause versus art for money. If the writer is the high priest or priestess is art the religion' If beauty is truth, how far from morality is aestheticism' These ponderings also take us forward to Atwoods most recent release, Oryx and Crake. The voice of Atwood the novelist can never be too far beneath the surface.
There are no neat answers; but if you take up writing, youll run into the questions sooner or later. Atwood extends the exploration of truth vis-à-vis the artists role. Herein lies the insight to so much good literature, Atwoods own included, of course: Value judgments on the characters or the outcome need not be made by the writer
the reader will judge the characters, because the reader will interpret.
Next, she turns to the relationship of the writer and of the book with the reader, the two not always the same thing. Who is the reader, and how does one find the right reader'
The motivation to pick up the pen can be varied, but at some point, Atwood concludes, they have to make the trip to the Underworld. Her hypothesis is that all writing of the narrative kind
is motivated deep down by a fear if a fascination with mortality by a desire to make the risky trip to the Underworld, and to bring something or someone back from the dead. Writers, fuelled by the fear of death, pour themselves into a work that may be deemed worthy of granting immortality.
One is not sure how seriously Atwood takes her own theory. That it is not absolute is certain, for she herself offers so many other reasons for why a writer writes. After drawing from the classics to prove the literal sense of this manifesto, in the final paragraphs, Atwood makes her point clear. Without the artists imagination, the experiences of the past and possibilities of the future remain dead to the world. The dead may guard the treasure, but its useless treasure unless it can be brought back to enter the realm of the audience, the realm of the readers, the realm of change.

Aliens Wrote The Quran? Proof It Wasn't Written By Humans
Many critical thinkers believe that all religions are completely fabricated man-made lies that were invented in order to give power to ev...
Many critical thinkers believe that all religions are completely fabricated man-made lies that were invented in order to give power to evil men. I was one of these people as well, until I found proof after proof that the Quran couldn't have been written by humans, especially not 1400 years ago. Being an atheist when I found these proofs, my initial conclusion was that the Quran had to have been written by Aliens.
There are basically two types of evidence that prove the Quran wasn't written by humans: 1 type is encoded into the actual text, but differently than the "bible code". The encoded text does not create new phrases or words like the bible code, instead it focuses on the repetition of certain words and letters. As I will show, this code is not baseless numerology. The other type of evidence is scientific "miracles"; things which would have been impossible for a human to know at the time.
I'll talk about the scientific evidence first. The Quran talks about some of these proofs in allegorical terms, because the language was not developed enough to say them in truly scientific terms. For instance, the universe is claimed to be continually expanding:
[51:47] We constructed the universe with might, and We are expanding it.
The earth's rotation is explained by:
[27:88] When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving, like the clouds. Such is the manufacture of GOD, who perfected everything. He is fully Cognizant of everything you do.
And again the earth's rotation is explained by:
[7:54] Your Lord is the one GOD, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then assumed all authority. The night overtakes the day, as it pursues it persistently, and the sun, the moon, and the stars are committed to serve by His command. Absolutely, He controls all creation and all commands. Most Exalted is GOD, Lord of the universe.
The night is always persuing the day when you look at the earth from space.
Also the Quran specifies that the early stage of development for the Universe was gaseous:
[41:11] Then He settled to the heaven, while it was still gas, and He said to it, and to the earth: "Come willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly."
Furthermore, the Big Bang is talked about in the Quran, where everything came from a SINGULARITY:
[21:30]Did those who reject not see that the heavens and the earth were one mass and We tore them apart? That We made from the water everything that lives. Will they not acknowledge?
Also this verse brings up the fact that every living thing was created from water. This supports the theory of evolution. Many other times it is said in the Quran that human beings were created from clay. This is an allegory for saying that human beings are made from earthly materials, not from "fire" or energy, like the "jinn beings".
[15:27] As for the jinns, we created them, before that, from blazing fire
Evolution is explained as a TOOL OF CREATION in the following verses:
[71:14] "While He created you in stages?"
[71:15]"Did you not see how God created seven heavens in harmony?"
[71:16] "He made the moon to illuminate in them, and He made the sun to be a lit flame?"
[71:17]"God made you grow from the earth as plants."
And also evolution is explained:
[29:19] Did they not observe how God initiates the creation then He returns it? All that for God is easy to do.
[29:20] Say, "Roam the earth and observe how the creation was initiated. Then God will establish the final design. God is capable of all things."
[24:45] God created every moving creature from water. So some of them move on their bellies, and some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. God creates whatever He wills. God is capable of all things.
Also, the embryonic development of a child is explained before science had ever analyzed these things.
[23:14] Then We created the seed into an embryo, then We created the embryo into a fetus, then We created the fetus into bone, then We covered the bone with flesh, then We brought forth a new creation. So glory be to God, the best of creators.
The word that is translated as "fetus" is the Arabic word "alaq", which literally means "hanging thing". They didn't have a word at the time for "fetus". Also, the mountains are talked about as "pegs" or "roots"which help stabilize the crustal plates from shifting so much. This theory is very new to geologists even today, but is talked about in this article here:
Mountain Ranges Rise Much More Rapidly Than Geologists Expected
[78:6] Did We not make the earth a resting ground?
[78:7] The mountains as pegs?
They are talked about again:
[16:15] He has cast into the earth stabilizers so that it does not sway with you, and rivers, and paths, perhaps you will be guided.
Also, evaporation is allegorically explained by:
[25:53] He is the One who merges the two bodies of water. This is fresh and palatable and this is salty and bitter. He made between them a partition and an inviolable barrier.
Now I will talk about the numerical codes and miracles in the Quran, which prove it couldn't have been written by humans. At the minimum it would need a computer.
Even before the actual "code" was found, people realized there were many numerical coincidences in the Quran. For instance:
- The word "month" (shahr) occurs 12 times.
- The word "day" (yawm) occurs 365 times.
- The word "days" (eyyam, yawmeyn) occurs 30 times.
- The words "satan" (shaytan) & "angel" (malak), each occur 88 times.
- The words "this world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (ahirah), each occur 115 times.
Then in 1974 the numerical code was discovered, focused on the number 19.
It is specifically talked about in the following verses:
[74:30] On it is nineteen.
[74:31] We appointed angels to be guardians of Hell, and we assigned their number (19) (1) to disturb the disbelievers, (2) to convince the Christians and Jews (that this is a divine scripture), (3) to strengthen the faith of the faithful, (4) to remove all traces of doubt from the hearts of Christians, Jews, as well as the believers, and (5) to expose those who harbor doubt in their hearts, and the disbelievers; they will say, "What did GOD mean by this allegory?" GOD thus sends astray whomever He wills, and guides whomever He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is a reminder for the people.
The 19 based code was discovered because in 29 of the chapters of the Quran, it is prefaced by letters which had no meaning whatsoever. Combinations, like "H.M." or "Q" or "A.L.M", etc. When trying to find the meaning of these initials, it was discovered that when added up, their repetition in the chapter was always a multiple of 19. Once this was found, more miracles came to surface:
* The first verse, i.e., the opening statement "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim", shortly "Basmalah," consists of 19 Arabic letters. This is the most frequented statement in the Quran. It prefaces every chapter, but is not a numbered verse in every chapter but the first. Because of this, only the first "Bismallah" is counted.
* The first word of Basmalah, Ism (name), withouth conraction, occurs in the Quran 19 times.
* The second word of Basmalah, Allah (God) occurs 2698 times, or 19×142.
* The third word of Basmalah, Rahman (Gracious) occurs 57 times, or 19×3.
* The fourth word of Basmalah, Rahim (Merciful) occurs 114 times, or 19×6.
* The multiplication factors of the words of the Basmalah (1+142+3+6) add up to 152 or 19×8.
* The Quran consists of 114 chapters, which is 19×6.
* The total number of verses in the Quran including all unnumbered Basmalahs is 6346, or 19×334. If you add the digits of that number, 6+3+4+6 equals 19.
* The Basmalah occurs 114 times, (despite its conspicuous absence from chapter 9, it occurs twice in chapter 27) and 114 is 19×6.
* From the missing Basmalah of chapter 9 to the extra Basmalah of chapter 27, there are precisely 19 chapters.
* The occurrence of the extra Basmalah is in 27:30. The number of the chapter and the verse add up to 57, or 19×3.
* Each letter of the Arabic alphabet corresponds to a number according to their original sequence in the alphabet. The Arabs were using this system for calculations. When the Quran was revealed 14 centuries ago, the numbers known today did not exist. A universal system was used where the letters of the Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek alphabets were used as numerals. The number assigned to each letter is its "Gematrical Value." The numerical values of the Arabic alphabet are shown below: [the table is omitted]
* A study on the gematrical values of about 120 attributes of God which are mentioned in the Quran, shows that only four attributes have gematrical values which are multiples of 19. These are "Wahid" (One), "Zul Fadl al Azim" (Possessor of Infinite Grace), "Majid" (Glorous), "Jaami" (Summoner). Their gematrical value are 19 , 2698, 57, and 114 respectively, which are all divisible by 19 and correspond exactly to the frequencies of occurrence of the Basmalah's four words.
* The total numbers of verses where the word "Allah" (God) occurs, add up to 118123, and is 19×6217.
* The total occurrences of the word Allah (God) in all the verses whose numbers are multiples of 19 is 133, or 19×7.
* The key commandment: "You shall devote your worship to God alone" (in Arabic "Wahdahu") occurs in 7:70; 39:45; 40:12,84; and 60:4. The total of these numbers adds up to 361, or 19×19.
* The Quran is characterized by a unique phenomenon that is not found in any other book: 29 chapters are prefixed with "Quranic Initials" which remained mysterious for 1406 years. With the discovery of the code 19, we realized their major role in the Quran's mathematical structure. The initials occur in their respective chapters in multiples of 19. For example, Chapter 19 has five letters in its beginning, K.H.Y.A'.SS., and the total occurrence of these letters in this chapter is 798, or 19×42.
* To witness the details of the miracle of these initials, a short chapter which begins with one initial, letter "Q", will be a good example. The frequency of "Q" in chapter 50 is 57, or 19×3. The letter "Q" occurs in the other Q-initialed chapter, i.e., chapter 42, exactly the same number of times, 57. The total occurrence of the letter "Q" in the two Q-initialed chapters is 114, which equals the number of chapters in the Quran. The description of the Quran as "Majid" (Glorious) is correlated with the frequency of occurrence of the letter "Q" in each of the Q-initialed chapters. The word "Majid" has a gematrical value of 57. Chapter 42 consists of 53 verses, and 42+53 is 95, or 19×5. Chapter 50 consists of 45 verses, and 50+45 is 95, or 19×5.
* The Quran mentions 30 different cardinal numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 50000, & 100000. The sum of these numbers is 162146, which equals 19×8534.
* In addition to 30 cardinal numbers, the Quran contains 8 fractions: 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3. Thus, the Quran contains 38 (19×2) different numbers. The total of fractions is approximately 2.
* If we write down the number of each verse in the Quran, one next to the other, preceded by the number of verses in each chapter, the resulting long number consists of 12692 digits (19×668). Additionally, the huge number itself is also a multiple of 19.
It is significant that the same 19-based mathematical composition was discovered by Rabbi Judah in the 12th century AD in a preserved part of the Old Testament. Below is a quote from "Studies In Jewish Mysticism".
The people (Jews) in France made it a custom to add (in the morning prayer) the words: " 'Ashrei temimei derekh (blessed are those who walk the righteous way)," and our Rabbi, the Pious, of blessed memory, wrote that they were completely and utterly wrong. It is all gross falsehood, because there are only nineteen times that the Holy Name is mentioned (in that portion of the morning prayer), . . . and similarly you find the word Elohim nineteen times in the pericope of Ve-'elleh shemot . . . .
"Similarly, you find that Israel were called "sons" nineteen times, and there are many other examples. All these sets of nineteen are intricately intertwined, and they contain many secrets and esoteric meanings, which are contained in more than eight volumes. Therefore, anyone who has the fear of God in him will not listen to the words of the Frenchmen who add the verse " 'Ashrei temimei derekh (blessed are those who walk in the paths of God's Torah, for according to their additions the Holy Name is mentioned twenty times . . . and this is a great mistake. Furthermore, in this section there are 152 words, but if you add " 'Ashrei temimei derekh" there are 158 words. This is nonsense, for it is a great and hidden secret why there should be 152 words . . ." (Studies In Jewish Mysticism, Joseph Dan, Association for Jewish Studies. Cambridge, Massachusetts: 1978, p 88.)
Also, wars between aliens are talked about in the Quran:
[15:16] We placed galaxies in the sky, and adorned it for the beholders.
[15:17] And we guarded it against every rejected devil.
[15:18] If any of them sneaks around to listen, a fierce flame will chase him back.
[55:33] O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the outer limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate. You cannot penetrate without authorization. [55:34] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny? [55:35] You get bombarded with projectiles of fire and metal, and you cannot win.
[67:5] We adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and guarded its borders with projectiles against the devils; we prepared for them a retribution in Hell.
After looking at all these proofs it was pretty easy for me to conclude that the Quran was NOT written by humans. Because I was atheist, my initial reaction was that the Quran was written by Aliens. After reading it, I believe it was written by God.. But that's an act of faith on my part.

Also make sure you read this important information: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/comman ... and-tools/
This lets you start a Bash shell just as you would a Windows command prompt:
Zeus Enhancements for Bash
The latest release of Zeus adds features that let you work with this subsystem and they are described below.
1. Bash Tool Menu Options
The Tools menu adds two new menu options as shown below:
The Bash Command Line menu allows you to bring up a dialog to run a bash command and have the output captured inside Zeus:
The Bash Shell menu allows you to open up the Bash shell which is identical to the shell shown earlier.
2. Tools Options
The configuration of Tools now has an option to define a Bash commands as tools:
3. Compilers Options
To run the GNU C or C++ compilers you need to test to see if the compilers are installed.
For example to test if the C compiler is installed try running this command using the Zeus Bash command line optioned mentioned earlier:
If this result in the following output message it means the compiler is not installed:
Code: Select all
gcc --version
Code: Select all
The program 'gcc' is currently not installed.
To install the the C and C++ compilers open the bash shell and run these commands respectively:
With the compilers installed the new Compiler configuration options found in the document type can now be used to run these compilers as shown below:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install g++
Using these options the Bash compiler command will be run from inside Zeus and the output captured.
4. Workspace Options
The workspace configuration now has an option to define Bash commands for the Project building options:
Using this option the Bash make commands will be run from inside Zeus and the output captured.
5. File Editing Options
The Ubuntu subsystem automatically creates mount points in /mnt for each of the corresponding Windows drives.
For example, that means you can access the files on your C: drive from inside the Bash shell using the /mnt/c/ mount and vice versa.
This means you could edit the code on the Windows side and compile the code on the Bash side and the two sides will always be in sync via the mount point.
But one cause of trouble would be the different line encodings used by Windows and Linux.
Another source of problems would be the fact that Windows uses a BOM for UTF8 files where as Linux does not.
Both of these issues are easily resolved by configuring the Zeus document type to be Linux friendly as shown below:
With these settings in place Zeus will make sure the files are always Linux friendly.
This means you can do all the coding on the Windows side using Zeus, yet have that code compiled on the Linux side and this can all be do without leaving Zeus

What a wonderful day to view the spillway of this magnificent dam. This was taken from the beautiful park at the base of the dam. McNary Dam is a 1.4-mile (2.2-km) long concrete gravity run-of-the-river dam which spans the Columbia River. It joins Umatilla County, Oregon with Benton County, Washington, 292 miles (470 km) upriver from the mouth of the Columbia at Astoria, Oregon. It is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' McNary Lock and Dam office. The dam is located a mile (2 km) east of the town of Umatilla, Oregon, and 8 miles (13 km) north of Hermiston, Oregon. The dam was originally planned to be named Umatilla Dam, but the Flood Control Act of 1945 renamed the dam in honor of Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, who had died the previous year. The dam provides for slackwater navigation, hydroelectric power generation, recreation, wildlife habitat, and incidental irrigation. Bills for the construction of a dam were introduced in the United States Congress as early as 193...
I am a retired teacher, coach and athletic director. While my wife, Judy, and I were teaching she had a photo studio, and I had a dark room where I did black and white and color. Some was for the studio while most of it was just a hobby. When we retired in 2000, we sold our house in Eastern Washington and moved onto our boat, Last Class, and our motorhome. We sold Last Class a few years ago and bought a small house in Yuma, Arizona and bought another one in Emmett Idaho. Now we spend the summers in Emmett and the winters in Yuma. Over our 50 years of marriage, we have always had an interest in photography and both of us enjoy taking the photos for this site. http://www.pinterest.com/thecanonshooter/
