I must say that although I'm not doing the read-along, this has been very cool to see unfold. (Almost -- not quite! -- to the point that it makes me want to drop everything and re-read it.)
Keep going, kids. Only two more checkpoints to go. (At which time I expect to hear much screaming going across many skies.)

My momentum is back! I got through this section really quickly, and I'm now into the second-to-last (!) section.
There was a lot going on in this section, but it also had time for the best joke in the entire book: the law firm of Salitieri, Poore, Nash, De Brutus, and Short.
I really liked the return to the madcap running around, Slothrop in a pig suit instead of his Rocketman getup. It's very much like a comedy in which a hapless character keeps getting mixed up in situations he doesn't quite comprehend, but thinks he does. I was glad to see Marvy again, even though the castration was pretty unpleasant.
Going strong into the end of this book--it's going to be weird when it's December, and there's no more Gravity's Rainbow, and no more NaNoWriMo. It's going to feel so...so calm around here.

My own opinion of the book (and its readability) has changed at least like 8 times over the past 600 pages... Although this section did start to come together for me (I agree with your comments, John), last week's is still a bit of a rough patch. I wonder how much I missed entirely?
And we can fill in some replacement addiction for December, John, if you want. My NaNo isn't going very well (haven't broken 2,000 words yet) so maybe we could, like, re-NaNo.

CRUD! I am only on page 523 and therefore officially well behind. So this week must be the Big Push To The Finish, which means reading 20 pages a day, at least (it's too early to do math).
Will I make it? Well, John, your post has certainly given me some motivation, although I shall have to be VERY CAREFUL not to be eating when I arrive at the castration.
Sort of hoping it might be Slothrop who's castrated, but he's so one-dimensional anyway that without his hardon he may disappear altogether. I like that Pynchon is aware of this - doesn't he attribute that somewhere to Slothrop's increasing tendency to live in the moment?
Moonrat will there be another read-along? Can we vote on the book?

Jane--my "real life" GR reading group has proposed taking a week of the sched (next week, the 23) for two reasons:
1) it's thanksgiving and no one can get there
2) it will give us a week to catch up with reading
so I won't have finished next Monday, for one. Take your time! we'll aim for 11/30.
And yeah, I'd love to do another read-along. Throw me some suggestions and I'll put up a poll. I do so dearly love polls!

Last week was definitely a rough patch for me as well. I just had no idea what was going on for a large portion of it.
As far as a December addiction, I think I may check out for the month. I'll be finishing graduate school applications in addition to finishing two feature stories for my real-life jobs. So I might take the month to, you know, decompress.
But I would totally be up for another group reading. I am thinking about starting a spring reading group for Augie March. It's a book that, like Gravity's Rainbow, I started and then drifted away from. I liked what I read, though, and would be interested in trying it out again.

Disney has announced the screenwriter-director combo who will helm the new Star Wars standalone film. The writer will be Gary Whitta, a tech nerd turned screenwriter who has written the dialogue to some of the best adventure games on the Mac and iPad. As for the director? He's behind the number one movie at the box office right now, Godzilla.
According to StarWars.com, Gary Whitta will be the screenwriter for the new Star Wars standalone film.
He's an interesting choice for screenwriter. A jovial and good-humored Brit who got his start as an editor for PC Gamer, Whitta is a tech lover, and can often be heard on the Tested podcast. His best work is perhaps his work in video games, having written the script of the well-beloved Telltale Games The Walking Dead adventure game series.
On the movie front, though, Whitta's record is spotty. His two major credits are the 2013 Will and Jaden Smith vehicle After Earth, which was widely panned, and 2011's The Book of Eli, which scores 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. He's also the screenwriter of the upcoming Warcraft movie.
Can Whitta do better with Star Wars? It's unknown, but he's certainly going to have incredible help. Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is slated to direct Whitta's screenplay. A phenomenal director who broke on to the scene with the indie kaiju hit Monsters, Edwards has proven he has what it takes to deliver blockbuster results.
Our take? Between Whitta and Edwards, the new Star Wars standalone film is looking like a winner. Whitta has had some missteps, but the Walking Dead series proves he has a great deal of talent. Given free reign and a sympathetic director like Edwards, this could be the best Star Wars movie since Empire.
The untitled Star Wars stand-alone film will debut in 2016. It is widely rumored to focus on the adventures of fan favorite Boba Fett.

The Manitoba Bisons women's basketball team is using its exhibition tournament to help raise awareness for breast cancer.
The Herd's second game of the Garbonzo's Invitational Tournament (Oct. 13, against Toronto, 6:15 p.m.) at the Investors Group Athletic Centre will be 'Pack the Place Pink Night.' The Herd are selling pink and brown T-shirts and proceeds (plus ticket sales to the game) will go directly to CancerCare Manitoba.
"Our goal is to get a minimum of a thousand people in the stands," said Bisons head coach Pam Danis. "Our sport in particular has been hit by breast cancer. There's a current coach from McMaster University who's going through it right now, we have one of our coaches in Kathy Shields (former longtime coach of Victoria) who has gone through it --and many of us have been affected by cancer in one way or another."
A part of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association, Danis said all of the members across the country have committed to holding events to recognize those affected by breast cancer and support breast cancer research.
MORE B-BALL: Former Winnipeg Wesmen basketball star Uzo Asagwara was recently named to the Team Canada's final roster women's national team. Asagwara is now in Valdivia, Chile, as the Canadians compete at the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualification tournament, which starts today and runs until the end of the month.
MOVING UP: The Bisons football team has been recognized as one of the top three clubs by the Canadian Interuniversity Sport governing body yesterday.
Thanks to its 15-10 victory over Saskatchewan Saturday, the Herd moves up a spot (from No. 4 to No. 3), while the Huskies fall three spots (two to five). Laval and Ottawa occupy the first and second spots of the weekly ranking. Tenth-ranked Regina is the only other Canada West school in the Top 10.
Manitoba (4-0) next sees action Oct. 6 in Alberta.
NOTE: The Wesmen men's volleyball team is the only university squad in action locally this weekend, hosting Regina for a pair of exhibition matches Friday and Saturday (both start at 7 p.m.).

Okay so this party function needs rework. When the host the player that zones the party in leaves everyone gets booted. This is quite ridiculous we can't always play with friends or guildies. When you pug you always take the risk of having the party leader leave.
I usually try be the party leader myself but today when we started a fractals group I zoned us in then 1 player declined the enter. So we all came out and he zoned us in and he said it was an accident. I had this feeling that he was going to leave at the end so nobody could loot the chest and what does he do as soon as jademaw dies he exits his client immediately then relogs 1minute later then i whisper him saying why he did it he then says " I am an anet employee, and it was an accident I have kids" I took a screenshot of this. This isn't the first time this has happened I usually try invite players I had good past experiences with from my friend list. How exactly do you report someone for doing this do you put it under scamming?

Picture yourself in North Carolina, you're at 5,200 ft, and it's so cold that your water bottle is frozen. You neglected to bring a 4-season sleeping pad because on this trip you were going to go "ultra light." In fact you barely even consider to highly modified, half cut Z-lite, much to write home about-but still, you feel as though you're wrapped in a fluffy cloud of warmth. Everyone who isn't you is either cold or complaining - maybe your choice in bringing along your Western Mountaineering Alpinlite 20 bag wasn't such a bad idea. As you sit in revel in your pre dawn victory - you reflect on the past 3 days on the Appalachian Trail, your last minute purchase of your new sleeping bag, and whether or not it was worth it.
Scheduling a Trip
Upon deciding to attempt what I thought was a pretty hefty mileage goal of 100+ miles in 4 days on the Appalachian Trail, I started to reassess what in my pack list could actually be left at home. I'm not unfamiliar with packing light but I knew that this trip was going to require me to shed even more pounds on the scale - so I started a new strenuous training program while building a meticulous new gear list. There were several items that I believed needed to be recycled in my pack, the main one being my very outdated sleeping bag. So after much research and a lot of advice from my co-workers, I settled in with the Western Mountaineering Alpinlite down sleeping bag.
The Gear List - The lighter, the better
There are 3 things that typically weigh down a backpack the most - the pack itself (2-5 lbs), the tent (2-4 lbs), and your sleep system (3-5 lbs). If you tally up the difference between the high and low marks it represents a relative range between 7 lbs. and 14 lbs. The hikers on the high end will probably expect to carry up to 30 lbs. when fully loaded, the hikers on the bottom end will probably expect to carry no more than 20 lbs. I fell somewhere in the middle and it was critical that I get my pack weight down in order to do 25+ mile days on the AT. Our trip's Thanksgiving weekend weather forecast ranged anywhere from high's in the 70's to low's in the teens (with altitude and wind chill). This, in effect, made for a packing nightmare - especially when trying to keep my base weight below 10 pounds.
I chose this bag because of its reputation as one of incredible quality and outstanding performance. Not only do I have several co-workers who have through hiked the Appalachian Trail with Western bags, I have a co-worker who has done the Triple Crown with their bags. The choice to go with the Alpinlite vs. the Ultralite boiled down to the fact that it has a bigger shoulder girth than the Ultra even though it's slightly heavier. With the addition of the Western Mountaineering Alpinlite 20 degree bag, my pack lightened by more than a full pound. At 1 lb 15 ounces this bag kept me toasty with its 850+ down insulation and comfortable down in the teens with minimal extra clothing. These bags also have a reputation of lasting for a considerable amount longer than most other bags, and I've heard of the Western Mountaineering Company offering to re-stuff the bag at a fraction of the price of a new one.
As I slowly refined my pack list I made a few alterations - I purchased a very light, Etowa tarp set-up that weighed no more than 19 ounces, I cut my Z-lite sleeping mat down to weigh around 7 ounces, and my Crown 60 pack weighed in at 2 lbs. 2 ounces. The addition of the light weight sleeping bag brought my base weight in the sub 10 pound rage - exactly where it wanted to be.
My experience with the Alpinlite
It typically doesn't take much for buyer's remorse to set in; but after my first night on the trail there was no doubt that I didn't regret buying it. The bag was incredible. Not only did it contribute to lessening my pack load, it performed perfectly in the frigid nights, in conditions where the amount of clothing in your pack is not warm enough once you've stopped moving. After 29 miles of hiking and 13 hours on the trail (day 1), my body was exhausted and could do little to warm me up even when I was fully kitted out with every clothing item that I brought. The first thing I did while preparing dinner was hop into my Alpinlite and within a few minutes I went from shivering to shedding layers. There is an expression that some of the ultralight hikers like to use at our store, "the heat is in the feet"- I'd like to add to that "…or in your Western Bag".
Words of Advice
These bags come at quite a price, that's the kicker, but I would recommend these bags to anyone who depend on their gear to keep them safe from the elements and who require light weight items that don't compromise functionality. It's easy to find a lightweight bag at a reasonable cost - but as I've come one too many times to realize in the outdoor industry, you get what you pay for.
This bag would be good for people who:
- Are considering a thru hike
- Are ultralight hikers or weight conscious hikers
- Like sleeping comfortably at night
- Use their gear constantly (less likely if the bag is going to in the closet 364 days out of the year)

University of Minnesota Project Eating Among Teens (EAT) researchers have found that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes as compared to sexually active young adults in more committed relationships. While this study focused on the psychological impact, researchers caution that the physical risks of casual sex should not be overlooked.
Marla E. Eisenberg, Sc.D., M.P.H., Medical School, and colleagues used data from Project EAT, an ongoing study that assessed a diverse sample of 1,311 sexually active young adults. From 2003-2004, 574 males and 737 females in Minnesota with a mean age of 20.5 were surveyed regarding sexual behaviors and emotional well-being.
Of the sexually active respondents, 55 percent reported that their last sexual partner was an exclusive dating partner followed by 25 percent whose most recent partner was a fiancé/e, spouse, or life partner. Much lower percentages reported that their last sexual partner was a close but not exclusive partner (12 percent) or a casual acquaintance (8 percent). Over twice as many males as females reported that their last partner was casual (i.e. , either a "casual acquaintance" or "close but not exclusive partner").
Although there has been speculation in public discourse that sexual encounters outside a committed romantic relationship may be emotionally damaging for young people, this study found no differences in the psychological well-being of young adults who had a casual sexual partner verses a more committed partner.
"While the findings from this study show that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes compared to those in more committed relationships, this should not minimize the legitimate threats to physical well-being associated with casual sexual relationships, and the need for such messages in sexuality education programs and other interventions with young adults," Eisenberg said.
The study, published in the December issue of the academic journal "Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health," was funded by Grant # R40 MC 00319-02 from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (Title V, Social Security Act), Health Resources and Service Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I uninstalled ZA in safe mode but I am unable to to start windows fully with no start menu, programs not working and no internet access. I have system mechanic but it will not start with an error the component "ioFileInfolist" is required for system mechanic to operate and could not be started. I tried to install a new ZA 2009 ISS but it would not load due to could not load DLL library COCUME~1/Glen/LOCALS~1/Temp/122108190555/vsutil.dll. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. What kind of problem do I have and how can I fix it?

Hi Guys!
This is my very first OS on Ashar-Khirad i hope i did justice to these wonderful characters
This one's dedicated to Fari (SmileyStar) as she gave a dhamki to update an OS and she's been a wonderful friend!
Also the character of Asmara is originally made by Fari (SmileyStar) so the credit goes to her.
PMs will be sent later for this one
She sipped her coffee as she stared out the window which reflected the bright rays of the sun and the beaming flowers.
It still felt like a dream the dream that part of her wanted to come true and part of her never wanted to experience. It was a strange feeling, one can only describe it as weird or unexplainable.
Maybe this is what they meant by everything changes
At the same time two weeks ago she had remembered, walking around the campus cheerfully with her group of friends, the feeling of excitement and happiness washing over her, and somewhere the need to go wild developing from the corner.
It was the day their results were revealed. Nervously she reached the notice board and slowly moved her index finger down the glass fearing of any shocks she might get today.
She jumped with joy as she saw her name on the top of the list after checking it a few times initially not being able to believe it was really her name that had been printed on the top.
Earning hugs and hi fives from her friends she smiled widely thinking of the biggest achievement she had just earned.
All those episodes she missed of her favorite shows finally paid off!
Two days later she was surprised with another news as her fancy package arrived and she opened it with trembling hands.
You have been accepted to the Agha Khan University Medical College
We look forward to meeting you this September'.
She couldn't believe her luck, was it a dream? She read a few times to check if it was actually happening or someone just playing a cruel joke. No it was real, she had finally been convinced after asking everyone in a serious tone if they had been playing a prank.
Finally she got what she wanted, making it to medical school was her dream that she thought was impossible, but still gave it a try and on her way she had only become stronger and more determined.
Life is funny, funny how it takes the turn of the events. Two weeks ago standing near the window in her room she was being proud of her achievements and thankful for the bucket full of blessings that were showered on her and now exactly two weeks later at the same time, same day she had been standing in despair.
No it wasn't a surprise, she had been very well warned about this way before, before even she was awarded of her achievements, but somewhere in those dreams she had forgotten about the bitter reality. She remembered her mother's words very well and she had to understand that she had to give in.
You are now getting married, I know going to med school is a dream of yours but you have been warned before and you know how this society works right? I would have loved you to stay here and continue with your studies, *taking a sigh she spoke further* but now this decision is in your husband's hands, if he allows you can study further but even then you have to remember you are no longer that free bird who flew in the sky worry free, you will now have a family to look after a husband to worry about. Even if he allows you, your responsibilities towards him come first'.you know what im saying right?
Even though her mother had explained her in a soft and comforting tone it still felt she was being thrown in prison, it sounded more like court marshal than marriage.
You are no longer a free bird
The only words that echoed in her mind repeatedly.
His responsibilities means she had to think about him before her, put his desires above hers and make sure he's happy?
Moreover she didn't even know the nature of her husband.
They just got married a week ago, sure he seemed like a nice man but isn't everyone nice in the beginning? Besides they never really had a proper conversation. How can she tell how he really is like, no one can see someone's true colors in a week. On top of that he resumed with his work right away, she didn't know when to exactly strike the conversation about her education.
Well she respected the fact he was so committed to his work, and maybe he had something important to take care of, but she needed to talk to him, maybe he would agree and let her continue her education
Oh no she can't do that, what if he gets mad? What if he is a beats? Like they show on tv? Like one of those brutal husbands who suddenly get mad at something the wife speaks of?
She shrugged at the thought of it, besides what if it puts a crack in their relationship which didn't even start properly? What if..?
A hundred what ifs roamed around her thoughts as she took the last sip of her coffee and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
Long hair, left untied parted from the middle that fell above her chest and reached her waist. Her petite figure adorned with a white chudidaar, her long kameez that almost reached her feet laced with qureshia straps and lots of vertical plates near her chest area right below her neck. The double shaded yellow-white duppatta hung gracefully around her neck as her hands covered in full sleeves of the same material, held each other as the ruffled ends caressed her soft skin.
She could clearly see the transformation from a single to a married woman. She could feel the burden on her already, and the burden of those clothes that were given to her on her bari, a gift from the groom's side, surely felt heavy signifying its origination.
Letting out a sigh she accepted the truth of her existence and the importance of his existence in her life. She was married and no one can change that. Now there was one more woman who would wait till the dawn for her husband so he could come home tired and she could serve him.
As the sun dawned she looked at the thin line of the bright orange ray that formed above the dark edge marking the beginning of a cold night, her face fell thinking about her own dreams that had been crushed, and gone like the sun which had mercilessly spread its rays everywhere just moments ago.
She was brought out f her thoughts as she heard the car stop with a screech. Was it him? She rushed outside to check on who it was.
And the man was here, her dear husband was home.
Husband's finally home now wife's on duty
Even though she was scared with this marriage and not completely ready she knew she had to be a good wife seeing her mother and aunts all these years, she had observed something, all those years they had been nothing but ideal wives and she wanted to be one too, because it felt good to be praised by your mother in laws and she wanted to see the glint of appreciation her husband's eyes too.
As he entered the sitting area he noticed her rushing to get something from the kitchen then immediately coming in front of him to take his brief case and offer him a glass of water
"Asalam o alaikum" she said in a low voice as she offered him the glass, continuing the tradition that she had started a week ago.
He wasn't used to the typical husband treatment and preferred to do all his chores himself and decided he would continue even after marriage, sure everyone had told him let your wife do this and that for you, but he had been adamant and told them straight "im getting married not buying a slave"
But now since he was being served he felt good, it was surprising to him at the same time and filled him with happiness that this girl who doesn't even know her husband properly had just entered his life yesterday and she was showing so much concern for him'this had to be a blessing.
He took the water and thanked her with a hart warming smile.
She offered him dinner but he had said he wasn't hungry and left to take a shower.
He was dealing with a mix of emotions as he stepped outside the bathroom when he saw his wife quietly staring out the window.
He went behind her and putting his hand on her shoulder he asked "Khirad?..are you okay?"
He knew weeks ago that his wife would feel awkward in the initial days but he had decided he would help her get through and make her feel at home, no he didn't want to be the typical useless husbands who only knew how to make their wives work. He wanted to befriend his wife first then take their relationship further.
"hm? Oh nothing im fine Aap..aapko khana de doon?" she asked concern in her voice, a dullness of sadness in her eyes.
Taking her hands in his he spoke with the voice that landed in her ears with nothing less than sugar.
"why is it always about me? Aapne khana khaya..aapke kapde aapki tabayat" he said in a calm voice , feeling proud of his wife at the same time.
"meri koi zimedaari nahi hai kia? Does your happiness not matter? Its you who left everything and came to live with me, what did I lose? Nothing nothing at all, I only gained and got the most precious gift of my life, you" before he spoke further he could see a smile that had appeared in her eyes soon reaching her lips that were surrounded by a light crimson.
"come here, I have something for you" he made her sit on the bed and brought something from the cupboard and told her to close her eyes before he told her so
He came forward and told her to open her eyes when he was ready.
Her eyes popped out in shock as she saw the white coat folded neatly with a name tag on the metal piece that read Dr Khirad
She couldn't believe her eyes, that had been watery from the salty liquid and a huge smile appeared on her face.
She was beyond grateful, literally speechless to find any words to express her emotions.
"ashar'yeh?? Matlab.." before she could complete her sentence he talked with happiness, happiness that he felt at giving her such a heartwarming smile and her eyes that spoke volumes thanking him in great magnitude.
" yes khirad this is yours" she held his hand and murmured a low "thank you" that was enough for him to hear. He pressed her hand to tell him he was there, and he would make sure she gets what she wants, and would be there to support her in fulfilling her dream.
Moments later something struck her and she asked in confusion "lekin'apko kaise pata chala?"
"well'Asmara's weekly visits came handy I guess" he said acting like it was a normal thing, controlling his million dollar smile from reaching out of his face at the smartness he showed at the right time.
Her jaw dropped and eyes widened. She bit her lower lip and smiled looking towards her right as she realized she was so oblivious the whole time and didn't think once from where had all these random rasams popped out which Asmara used as excuses to visit her future bhabhi.
"you only have a week now, your school starts next week so hasne koodne ke din gaye ab" he said mocking her serious and dull behavior he had been noticing and sounding like a grandfather.
Without controlling her self anymore she hugged him in a very lady like manner but still providing the comfort and warmth as she said "you are the best husband a girl ask for and im glad Ama and Abba chose you" she continued as he could hear her smile in her voice.
'and you are the best wife one cant even imagine to exist" he replied to her compliment.
Khirad no longer felt like the bird who couldn't fly, but the bird who flew without boundaries who flew higher than the rest of the crowd. She never knew she would say this but she was happy she got married, married to Ashar to be more specific. She was sure he was a wonderful person but now she was confirmed he was also the best husband, and he left no doubts he would be supportive at each step, and be with here when she needed him.
She no longer felt the burden that was now replaced pride, pride for being Mrs Ashar Hussain, pride of being connected to him, pride of being the woman who served him took care of him and made sure he was happy. Being the ideal wife was no longer a custom or a societal pressure but something she felt like a blessing. That one moment gave her the happiness of eternity. Life was surely funny.

So I spent the evening at Jimmy's with Jacinda and some old friends and acquaintances from college.
I ate two cheeseburgers. They were delicious. I REGRET NOTHING.
Jacinda and I tried not to scare Matt's girlfriend with old stories about college exploits. She did not seem overly traumatized so that's a win, right?
The cost of a round of drinks at Jimmy's is still pretty damn cheap. And their cheeseburgers are greasy and tasty and perfect.
Jimmy's is pretty much my favorite place in Hyde Park. Well, my favorite place that isn't the Medici, the Seminary Co-op, or the spot in front of my favorite building on the U of C campus* where I used to smoke all the time.
* Update! I had Cobb Hall in mind when I wrote this last night, but there were many other buildings in which I smoked with pleasure and even aplomb! I'll talk about it in a future post when I'm feeling even more nostalgic than usual.

The final installment of our series exploring the economic divides across America's largest cities and metros.
Author's Note: This is the 12th and final post in a series exploring the class divides across America's largest cities and metros. Using detailed data from the American Community Survey, it examines the residential locations of today's three major classes: the shrinking middle of blue-collar workers; the rising ranks of the knowledge, professional, and creative class; and the even larger and faster-growing ranks of lower-paid service workers.
The map above shows the class divide for the Detroit metro region, which covers Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, Livingston, and St. Clair counties, and includes the municipalities of Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Troy, Warren, and Bloomfield Hills to the north, Grosse Pointe to the northeast, Livonia and Dearborn to the west and Melvindale and Lincoln Park to the south (Canada and the lake are directly to the east). The Detroit metro is America's 12th largest, with a population of roughly 4.3 million.
The creative class lives in the areas that are shaded in purple, the red areas are primarily service class, and the blue are working class. Each colored space on the map is a census tract, a small area within the city or county that can be even smaller than a neighborhood.
The creative class is concentrated in the center of the metro in the upscale suburbs of Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Grosse Pointe. Located along the old street-rail route that ran down Woodward Avenue and formed the metro's main commercial and development corridor, the communities of Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Birmingham are exemplars of walkability, with mixed-use downtowns and attractive older houses. For the past couple of decades, they have served as a sort of alternative urbanity to downtown.
Cities contributor Micheline Maynard described these areas via email: "Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills are the traditional suburbs for executives at the Detroit auto companies and major auto suppliers. Grosse Pointe was old money; Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills were new money." Birmingham is a classic turn-of-the-century, mixed-use walkable suburb, with two movie theaters, shops, restaurants, coffee-houses, night-spots and street cafes, and The Townsend Hotel, the metro's most upscale boutique hotel. Maynard adds, "Royal Oak and Ferndale have developed as hipper alternatives to Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills over the past 20 years; Ferndale is also a hub for the gay and lesbian community." There is a significant creative class presence in the cottage communities of St. Clair County as well, which curve around Lake St. Clair close to the St. Mary's River that runs between the U.S. and Canada. In the suburbs, the service class is located at the periphery of these creative class nodes, as it was the case in most of the other regions we've covered in this series. (See the end of this post for the complete list.)
What's striking from the maps is how few substantial working class concentrations remain in a metro that was once the nation's and the world's preeminent industrial region. The biggest blue clusters are in the far corners of the region, especially the north.
The city of Detroit's economic decline has been well-chronicled. Once a booming hub for automotive manufacturing and a center for technological innovation, the veritable Silicon Valley of its day, the city of Detroit has endured devastating economic changes. Since 1950, it has lost more than half its population; in just the decade spanning 2000 and 2010, more than 285,000 residents left the city. In 2009, at the height of the recent economic crisis, Detroit's official unemployment rate neared 30 percent; Mayor Dave Bing asserted at the time that if discouraged workers were also taken into account, the rate would be "closer to 50 percent." In early 2013, the city's official unemployment rate remained at 18 percent.
Much of the city outside of the downtown core has literally been abandoned. More than 25 percent of the city's residential parcels (more than 90,000) are empty lots, and another 10 percent (33,500 parcels) are vacant homes, according to a comprehensive 2010 survey.
Detroit's creative class is located along the lakeshore in the city, as the map above indicates, in a narrow strip that runs north along Jefferson Avenue from downtown through historic Indian Village towards Grosse Pointe. Home to Wayne State University and major arts and cultural institutions, rapidly revitalizing Midtown has also drawn a growing creative class population.
The purple blotch in the north is upscale Palmer Woods, noted for its large Tudor homes close to Detroit Golf Club. The neighborhood was founded in the early 20th century as an exclusive enclave for auto industry barons, including the founders of Fisher Body, and is where a number of Motown recording artists live today.
Greater Detroit's class divides overlay and underpin its long history of white-flight and racial cleavage. Reviewing the various causes of the city's decline, Daniel Little, chancellor of the University of Michigan-Dearborn, recently pointed to race segregation as the most significant factor over on his blog "Understanding Society":
For decades Eight Mile represented a key racial division in the city, and a plethora of mechanisms of exclusion conspired to maintain this division. If the city could have settled into a racially and economically mixed pattern of residence in the 1940s, much of this story would have been different. Population exit would not have reached crisis proportions; businesses would have been less likely to relocate out of the city; and a schooling system that was very successful in the 1950s could have maintained its effectiveness. This implies that Detroit is victim to the continuing tragedy of America's inability to heal its racial divisions and antagonisms.
The next map of the Detroit metro is interactive: Click on a tract to see its percentages of each of the three major classes.
The creative class includes the high-skill, high-human capital people who work in science and technology, business and management, arts, culture, media, and entertainment, law, and the healthcare professions. About 34.5 percent of the metro's workers belong to the creative class, a bit above the national average of 32.6 percent. Creative class workers average $73,097 per year in wages and salaries, also above the national average of $70,890. Of all the metros covered in this series, Detroit has the second lowest share of census tracts, just 14 percent, where 50 percent or more of residents are members of the creative class.
The table below shows the top 10 creative class tracts for the metro. All of them are in the suburbs. This is not surprising, as Detroit has witnessed some of the most pronounced white-flight of any U.S. city, exacerbated by heavy-handed efforts at slum clearance and urban renewal.
|Top 10 Creative Class Locations in the Detroit Metro

|Grosse Pointe Park (5503)
|Birmingham (1527)
|Bloomfield Township (1510)
|Bloomfield Hills (1520)
|Birmingham (1531)
|Metro Average
Two of the top 10 creative class tracts are in Birmingham; two are in Bloomfield Township, and another is in Bloomfield Hills, home to some of the priciest real estate in the U.S. and the Cranbrook educational community. Designed by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, the architecture critic Paul Goldberger called Cranbrook "one of the greatest campuses ever created anywhere in the world." University of Michigan's Little points out in an email to me: "Cranbrook graduates have added to the cutting edge design and creative communities of Detroit and the nation for decades."
Another top creative class tract is in nearby Troy, a sprawling middle-class suburb with excellent public schools, and the site of a high-end mall, the Somerset Collection. Two are in Huntington Woods, a leafy neighborhood that boasts such notable amenities as the public golf course Rackham and the Detroit Zoo. Two more are in the "Grosse Pointes" — Grosse Pointe Farms and Grosse Pointe Park — the communities of choice for many of Detroit's old industrial magnates, whose lakeshores are lined with sprawling Gilded Age mansions.
The Detroit area has a much larger concentration of lower-wage, lower skill service jobs. The service class, which entails low-wage, low-skill work in routine service jobs such as food service and preparation, retail sales, and clerical and administrative positions, makes up 44.8 percent of the region's workforce, just slightly below the national average of 46.6 percent. Service workers in the metro average $29,730, worse than the national average of $30,597 and just 40 percent of the average pay for creative class workers.
The table below showing the top ten Census tracts with the highest percentages of service workers reinforces the city maps above. Each and every one of the top ten tracts is located in the city, most of them surrounding the urban core. The service class makes up more than half of all residents in 30 percent of the metro's Census tracts.
|Top 10 Service Class Locations in the Detroit Metro
|Neighborhood (Census Tract #)

|North Central, Detroit (5303)
|Morningside, Detroit (5020)
|Von Steuben, Detroit (5035)

|Northend/Central Detroit (5331)
|Grandale, Detroit (5453)
|Metro Average
The working class — which includes workers in transportation, construction, and maintenance as well as direct production — comprises just one in five of the region's workers, in sync with the national average. In this once great manufacturing center, just 7.6 percent of workers are involved in direct production. Greater Detroit's working class averages $41,070 per year in wages and salaries, significantly more than the national average of $34,015, but just half of what the region's creative class workers make.

|Metro Average
The table above shows the top ten working class locations in metro Detroit. Six are in the city. As the map shows, the major working class concentrations that remain are in the southwest corner of the city, close to Dearborn. Despite the economic trauma it has faced, this working class area remains home to some of the city's strongest neighborhood associations — a testimony to the power of community organization and social capital in stabilizing and improving neighborhood conditions.
The other four are in the suburbs. One is in Dearborn, home of Ford Motor Company's corporate headquarters (and the original home of Henry Ford himself) and the site of several manufacturing plants, including the original Dearborn Assembly Plant and the massive River Rouge Complex. Dearborn is also the hub of greater Detroit's large Arab-American population. Another is Pontiac, which was home to GM's Pontiac Motor Division as well as its Fisher Body unit, and one is in Romulus, home to the GM Romulus engine and power train plant. Two others are much further out in Lapeer County, abutting Flint.
In shocking testimony to how thoroughly the metro has deindustrialized, blue-collar workers make up more than half of all residents in less than one (0.4) percent of the metro's Census tracts. This compares to two percent in Los Angeles, four percent in Dallas, and five percent each in Houston and Boston. Maynard cites research by Kevin Boyle at Ohio State University, which charts the dramatic decline of Detroit manufacturing. "In 1950, Detroit had a population of nearly 2 million, and 200,000 manufacturing jobs within the city limits," she notes. "Now, the population has dropped to below 750,000 and there are only 20,000 manufacturing jobs left."

Despite the economic pounding it has taken, or maybe because of it, the revitalization of Downtown Detroit has gained significant momentum as I pointed out in the Financial Times today.
With its fraying social fabric and the imposition of an emergency manager to cope with its collapsing finances, it would be easy to argue a city that was a global centre of carmaking and musical innovation 50 years ago has passed the point of no return.
Easy, yes; but wrong. Detroit's days as a manufacturing powerhouse – like those of many industrial cities in America, Europe and elsewhere – are irrevocable. But its downtown is rebounding, thanks to the kind of central location, affordable property, improved efficiency and productivity also bringing people and businesses back to struggling former industrial hubs such as Cleveland and Pittsburgh. .
According to recent report, Detroit's Greater Downtown spans 7.2 square miles: across the city's riverfront from the central business district to trendy Corktown, home of Slows Bar B Q, Astro Coffee, Sugar House, Brooklyn Street Local, and the Honor & Folly inn; Mies van der Rohe's verdant Lafayette Park and Rivertown, north to the Eastern Market, Detroit's farmer's market; the Cass Corridor, with arts institutions; Midtown, home to Wayne State University and Detroit Medical Center, up Woodward Avenue to Tech Town and New Center. This corridor has a population of 36,550 people, or 5,076 people per square mile. It is more affluent, diverse, and educated than the city as a whole. College educated residents between the ages of 25 and 34 made up eight percent of the population for Greater Downtown, compared to just one percent for the city as a whole, three percent for the state of Michigan, and four percent for the nation.
One of the things that nearly killed downtown Detroit was the misguided notion that its function as a location for offices and headquarters could be transplanted to its suburbs. The region can no longer afford the outmoded and incorrect notion that it can build an alternative "downtown." As I pointed out in a recent talk to the Detroit Regional Chamber's Policy Conference, "Anyone who believes you can build an alternative core out there in the suburbs need a head examination."
A new generation of business leaders understands this, like the billionaire entrepreneur Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans, who has moved more than 3,000 jobs from the suburbs to downtown, purchasing millions of square feet of office and residential space to accommodate them. (Gilbert owns 15 buildings with 2.6 million square feet of commercial space and two parking garages with some 3500 spaces). Compuware has brought thousands of professionals, techies, and creatives into downtown Detroit as well. "[W]e realized we needed to control the hardware, or the buildings -- the real estate," is the way he put it.
University of Michigan's Little points out in an email: "The influx created more racial and ethnic diversity in the center of the city as 20- and 30-somethings are moving into office buildings retrofitted as rental housing." This was not just based on community altruism, it was also good business. Gilbert realized that locating his business in the center of the city was more attractive to many employees and cheaper. "The good news was there was a skyscraper sale going on in Detroit at the time," he added.
A major new initiative by the highly regarded Project for Public Spaces has outlined plans to animate the district with dozens of pop up food markets, cafes, and shops. It is based on PPS's landmark "Power of 10" framework that proposes "a great city needs at least ten great districts, each with at least ten great places, which in turn each have at least ten things to do." PPS describe this strategy as a "Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper strategy that will include installations, pop-ups, and other activities in key public spaces like Cadillac Square, Capitol Park, and Grand Circus Park." The aim is to reorient downtown Detroit from its historic focus on streets for cars to a place for people and pedestrians. As PPS's Fred Kent put it when presenting the vision in Detroit: "We want to create a city where you don't drive through the center, you drive to it."
Detroit's Greater Downtown district is home to the region's major arts institutions — the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Max M. Fisher Music Center, the Bonstelle Theater and the Fox Theatre. The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, founded in 2006, is part of the Sugar Hill Arts District. Midtown is also home to the vaunted music venue The Magic Stick. Writing in the New York Times, Maynard described it as the veritable epicenter of the contemporary Detroit music scene, where acts like The White Stripes and The Von Bondies among others got their starts.
Long home to a cutting edge music scene which spanned soul, jazz, rock, pop, electronic, and techno, downtown Detroit also features a world class design community, which we profiled in our "Detroit Rising" series.
In an email to me, Christian Unverzagt, a Detroit-based architect who lives in Lafayette Park and teaches at the University of Michigan's Taubman College, pointed out the transformation that the Cass Corridor has undergone. Long home to activists and artists, its gritty, windowless galleries and practice spaces have given way to a variety of renovated spaces including Green Garage (a co-working space), Great Lakes Coffee, and small retail shops such as City Bird, Nest, Hugh, and Nora, along with several yoga studios.
The area has become so attractive, Unverzagt adds, that there is now a shortage of rental housing. As a further signal of how far its transformation has progressed, a Whole Foods (the standard bearer for gentrification) will open there, a few blocks from Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe, another market that opened in 2012. Unverzagt notes that even hard-hit Hamtramck, a diverse working class community, has more recently become a destination for artists who are buying homes to both live in and experiment on. Its downtown has seen an influx of several storefront galleries and restaurants, and the artist-initiated Ride-It Sculpture Park and the skateboard shop Chiipss, relocated there from Plymouth, a suburb 25 miles to the west, have become the hub of a local skateboard culture.
As Roy Strickland, a leading urban designer who heads the urban design program at the University of Michigan (he was previously director of the urban design program at Columbia University and a faculty member at MIT), pointed out in an email, downtown Detroit is being powerfully revitalized around four key legs: higher-ed, health, arts and culture, and technology. The confluence of these forces has brought considerable revitalization to a core that was once virtually hollowed-out. Put a rectangle around this area, he adds and "Detroit looks pretty healthy."
On top of that, the greater Detroit region broadly remains economic powerhouse. Even with its diminished population in the city, the metro area's population puts in the same league as San Francisco and Boston. With $200 billion in economic output, its economy is the same size as Ireland's, Hong Kong's, or Singapore's. It is connected to the world through its airport. On top of this, the region is home to an incredible cluster of universities and knowledge based institutions, the University of Michigan in nearby Ann Arbor, long a center for top researchers and now an emerging nexus for tech start-ups, Michigan State in East Lansing, and Wayne State in Detroit. The region's talent base is especially deep in engineering, design, and industrial know-how. Before all those assets can be fully-leveraged, suburban interests must come to the table, and transit must be extended outside the core to the suburbs and ultimately all the way out to Ann Arbor.
• • • • •
Detroit's nascent turnaround is different than slum clearances of the past; its impetus comes from a very different place than the redevelopment programs of the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, that staked huge sums of public money on ill-conceived mega-projects. The initiatives that are making the difference today are more market-driven and less top-down; they are organized not by the federal, state, or local government but by a unique coalition of profit-driven entrepreneurs, old-line philanthropic foundations, and grass roots neighborhood groups.
A consortium of companies and foundations including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the Detroit Three, Quicken Loans, the Kresge Foundation, Penske Corporation, and Platinum Equity have announced plans to purchase 100 police cars and 23 ambulances and lease them to the city of Detroit.
The Kresge Foundation's Complete Neighborhoods program has channeled millions of dollars to "[f]oster sustainability, increase economic opportunity and stabilize property values and the city's tax base by investing in neighborhoods that are magnets for new residents and that sustain existing residents," while its Detroit Future City initiative will provide $150 million to create more concentrated economic development, reuse the city's 100,000 vacant lots, add much needed parks and green space, and create more economically viable and healthier neighborhoods. With backing from local businesses, foundations, and the federal government, a new light rail system will help connect and consolidate development across the several distinct creative class clusters that have developed across this corridor.
Such dramatic change has stoked considerable demographic shifts, which mirror the region's class and racial divide. "On one hand, you see a 'new' Detroit. Young, white, educated, and employed are the characteristics of those who are taking a chance on the city," argued Karen Dumas, former press secretary to Mayor Bing in the Detroit News this past summer. "They stand in stark contrast to native Detroiters — most of whom are African-Americans and many who are undereducated and unemployed — who have stayed and stuck it out over the years, through challenge and controversy." The challenge for the city and region moving forward is to spur further urban economic revitalization while bridging this class divide. That will require greater cooperation between the city and its suburbs.
Still, what's happening in and around downtown Detroit should not be minimized: It is a critical step, if only a first step, toward creating the jobs, economic activity, and tax revenues that are needed to underwrite broader recovery and building. As is the case in most of America's older industrial cities, Detroit's days as a manufacturing powerhouse are irrecoverable; its future economic growth will turn on its creative and knowledge industries — and the transformation of its low skill, low pay service jobs into higher-wage, family-supporting jobs by involving workers in continuous productivity improvement. A new urban social compact is desperately needed to make this happen: to upgrade its underfunded schools and to train and connect more workers and residents to the new economy that is emerging downtown. The same kind of compact is needed in cities like New York, San Francisco, and even London which, while more affluent, suffer from the similar if not worse inequality.
All that said, the new developments downtown, taken together with the broader region's economic assets, put Detroit on a much better economic footing than has been the case for a couple of generations. While the jury is out on the city's long-term future, "the resurgence at its heart," as I note in the FT, "provides grounds for real hope tempered with cautious optimism."

Ambarto was a Quenya mother-name given to Amras, twin son of Fëanor by Nerdanel, his mother. Initially, both twins were called Ambarussa so their father insisted on having different names. Nerdanel changed one of the names, without clearly deciding which, to Umbarto, which meant "the fated". Because of its meaning, Fëanor had quickly urged Nerdanel to change it to Ambarto.
It is translated as "Upwards-exalted", being composed from amba = "upwards, top" and arta = "exalted".

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Tuscany emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Mancinetti family. During the Middle Ages, as populations grew and travel between regions became more frequent, the people of Tuscany found it necessary to adopt a second name to identify themselves and their families. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they were characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most common type of family name found in Tuscany is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, the nickname type of surname is also frequently found. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The surname Mancinetti is a name for a person who was equally adept and skilled in the use of both hands. The name Mancini is derived from the Italian word mancino, which means one who is ambidextrous.

Mancinetti Spelling Variations
There are many variations of most of those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. Some of these come from regional differences, like the tradition of ending northern names in "o" and southern names in "i". Others come from inaccuracies in the recording process, which were extremely common in the eras before dictionaries standardized spelling. Some of the spelling variations of Mancinetti are Mancin, Mancina, Mancinelli, Mancinetti, Mancino and many more.

Lately, it seems the city of Coppell has been faced with the task of choosing development over history.
In recent months, the Coppell City Council has received the most attention and larger meeting turnouts when items of preserving the city's history are tied to a development.
I've attended meetings where the council listened to strong opposition from residents and business owners about the demolition and rebuild of the Coppell Deli in Old Town Coppell, but voted in favor of redeveloping the 1940s building into a modern diner. The council was mindful to toss in a condition that asked the Coppell Deli owner to include a montage of history of the building inside its new location.
Then there was the meeting where the dais listened to opposition of the city tearing down trees in Old Town Coppell to make way for more development in the area. But the trees will be lost.
For the past four years, longtime Coppell resident Joe Hardman has experienced the city's dilemma first hand. Joe, who lives on Freeport Parkway, formerly State Road North, has reached a deal with the city to sell 6,000 square-feet of his front lawn, including part of his driveway. The sale will make way for development and expansion of Freeport Parkway.
Joe and the city's challenge are the source of this week's cover story.
Joe, like many Coppell residents, knows the expansion of the two-lane asphalt roadway to a four-lane divided roadway is needed to accommodate the city's growth, but at the same time he understands the inconvenience and possible loss of history and heritage.
Three post oak trees, which are more than 150 years old, run along the line of property the city now owns to develop the roadway, which will expand to State Highway 121 and feed into its future diamond interchange. The city said it plans on saving the trees, which will require boring about six to eight feet under the roots rather than trenching alongside them for water and sewer lines.
But Joe is skeptical the post oaks will make it.
"It's very difficult to preserve heritage in a time of development," said certified arborist Scott Geer. "People grow up and die under those trees, and that's what makes them special."
But I think what truly makes them special are individuals like Joe, who take it upon themselves to advocate for our city's roots.Remembering JFK

James O'Keefe creates proof of voter fraud
Conservative prankster James O'Keefe released an edited video today showing an election worker in Washington offering a young white man with a beard a ballot for Eric Holder, the U.S. attorney general who recently downplayed the notion that voter fraud was a problem.
An unnamed Department of Justice spokesman told Talking Points Memo the video was probably "manufactured."
Story Continued Below
The video is likely to spark another round of debates on the issue of state-level voter ID laws, which was the idea. The next phase in a story like this is to track down the election worker seen in the video telling "Holder" he doesn't need ID in order to vote. Who is he? How long has he been doing this? Does he now think there needs to be stronger ID requirements at the voting booth?
The Times editorial board weighed in on this last October, saying, "There is almost no voting fraud in America" except in "the most isolated cases."

Bellator MMA's pay-per-view plans will have to wait.
The Viacom-owned fight promotion was set to test the PPV waters with Bellator 106 in Long Beach, Calif. Nov. 2. However, Bellator officials announced Friday that the original main event between Quinton (Rampage) Jackson and Tito (People's Champ) Ortiz has been scrapped due to the latter suffering a fractured neck in training.
"I've said it since the day we announced the fight that Rampage vs. Tito was a fight I had wanted to see for years, and it's unfortunately something I'm going to have to continue to wait to see," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney said in a press release.
Bellator 106 will now air free on Spike TV and be headlined by the lightweight-title rematch between Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez. Also, Daniel Straus challenges featherweight kingpin Pat Curran and Muhammed Lawal battles Emanuel Newton to crown an interim light-heavyweight champ.

Hello Damien, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You cannot change the name of the actual C:\Users\(user-name) folder. If you rename it in User Accounts in the Control Panel, then all it does is change the name in the Start Menu and log on screen instead of the user folder, but both names are now tied to that user account.
The only option is to create a new administrator account with a different name, then copy all of the individual old account's C:\Users\(user-name) folders contents into the corresponding new account's C:\Users\(user-name) folders. After everything checks out ok, you can delete the old account.
Hope this helps,

Hey thanks sooo much for the quick reply, i actually noticed its only when viewing the folder in win explorer, i can still see Maddie from the start menu, so for her level of pc knowledge, she'll never even notice. hehe if she does i can always do like you said, create a new admin acount and transfer over, and delete old, was aware of that was just hopeing there might be an easier solution. thanks for the time again,

Went to purchase leads internet through Philip Parker, promised us good return. Should have known not to trust when he sends you a fedex label and it goes directly to another State. Says he outsources his processing of invoices. The invoice will have an account number on it. Actually a bank account number he won't put a bank name on the fedex label though. Found out he has used Suntrust, Wachovia and other banks to deposit funds into.
Becareful he will be using other names but the basic message of his will be the same so much up front for leads (which is not uncommon) pay attention to the other rip off reports. And if you are required to send a check directly to an address different from the address on the website be causious.
people like Mr. Parker, Mr. Fletcher, also used James Walden. Also he is not a member of the American Marketing Association and probably only training he has is in lieing, cheating and stealing

Pat Woodcock's right hamstring passed the litmus test of three consecutive practices this week, meaning he will play tomorrow night against the Calgary Stampeders at Commonwealth Stadium.
Eskimo head coach Danny Maciocia made the move official yesterday by activating Woodcock -- a Canadian slotback -- to the main roster and moving rookie Jean-Francois Romeo off.
As expected, Rodney Williams will not play, leaving Sean Fleming to punt and kick. But instead of making the import punter one of the four-members on the reserve squad on the 46-man roster, Maciocia has stashed Williams on the one-game injured list, which allows A.J. Gass on the roster.
But don't expect Gass to see the field tomorrow. He'll be on the four-man reserve list unless there is a last-minute injury.
Andre Sommersell will come onto the main roster in Williams's spot and is scheduled to start at defensive end.
Wideout Richard Alston will come off the four-man reserve and switch with receiver Trevor Gaylor.
In the end, the four-man reserve will likely include Gaylor, Gass, Jonte Buhl and Jabari Issa.
QUIET WEEK: For the first time this year, Maciocia doesn't need to jump to the defence of his offensive line.
After allowing Ricky Ray time to throw for 393 yards and helping Troy Davis to a healthy 6.3-yard rushing average last Saturday in Calgary, the O-line isn't being ripped by critics.
"I was really impressed with our offensive line (last weekend)," said Maciocia.
"And to think that we are just going to get better is so encouraging because if I have a sensitive spot (on this team), this is the unit.
"These guys (were) picked on without even lining up...and I want to show them my support."
FINISH LINES: For the first time in more than two weeks, DL Randy Spencer tested his recovering calf muscles in practice.
