The woman sat silently watching the bustle of the city around her ignoring the man that was blatantly staring at her. She was used to the staring while she was in the city. Her elven features, long forest green hair, deeply tanned skin and black eyes stood out amongst the city dwelling humans. Their features were bland, hair business short, skin white and colored eyes were a sharp contrast to her.
Still most of the humans gave her long measured glances, and had the decency to look away shamed for looking when she looked at them. This one, however, stared relentlessly, and didn't look away when she glanced at him.
Finished with her vitamin drink she stood. She passed a few credits for a tip to the man that had served her. Turning to the door she saw the man outside watching her. She sighed, and gracefully moved through the tables and chairs to the door.
"Why are you here?"
The question was flung at her as soon as the putrid city air washed over her. She stepped to the side so she wasn't blocking the door, and set her gaze on the man.
"I am a free person, and have papers to go wherever I want," she curtly retorted.
Turning away from the man she wasn't surprised that he took up stride beside her.
"Elves don't come to the city… unless you just got revamped."
The woman halted in her tracks, and spun to the man, "I am a born elf, and it's none business of yours why I chose to be in the city on this day."
The man was unfazed as his gaze trailed over her features. He glanced up as a police craft passed overhead slowly. The woman took the chance, and moved away from him quickly. She had something that she needed to attend to.
The elf sat in the tiny office and drummed her short hard nails on the metal chair watching the ire it caused the office assistant. The boy glanced at her with a heated glare, but said nothing. He knew better than to speak out against this elven woman.
The large doors opened to the interior of the vast warehouse, and revealed a tall succubus demon. She smiled to the woman exposing her sharp pointed teeth.
"Drake will see you now Tahlae," the succubus spoke in her husky voice before turning and sauntering back the way she came.
Tahlae rose, and followed her hearing the office assistant's sigh of relief before the door closed behind her.
The elven woman followed the demon through the warehouse not bothering to glance at the souls working. They climbed the stairs to the cat walk, the succubus waggling her ass and tail seductively in Tahlae's view. Across the catwalk they went to the office perched on the other side. It looked as though it would fall and crush those working below it at any moment, but the elf knew it would hold firm.
The succubus stepped to the side, and purred in Tahlae's pointed ear as she passed the demon into the office.
It was lushly decorated in extravagant taste. The furniture was all lovely Victorian antiques made from woods that didn't grow anymore. The carpet was real angora along with the pillows. Every piece in the office was refurbished and polished to look as it would have three hundred years prior when it was new.
Tahlae sat in one of the fine chairs, and waited for the human looking man to give her his attention. It wasn't long before the man turned to Tahlae, and smiled widely.
"It's always lovely to see the beauty of an elf," he commented as he sat at his desk across from her.
Tahlae nodded at the compliment, "Going to be in the public eye today?"
Drake nodded, "Yes, I have to do a speech at a grand opening. As soon as it's over I can shed this skin."
Tahlae nodded again; she knew Drake in his true form as most didn't. He was demon, but so few of the revamped were allowed to operate businesses in the human cities. Drake's small stature allowed him to don a fake human skin to look human so none were the wiser, but the government and police. He lead a double life at their wishes, and was allowed leniency in return.
The elf waited silently as Drake sorted through so papers on his desk before addressing her. She was used to him and his ways, and knew how quick to anger he was. One of the primary reasons he often worked with her, calling her out of the deep Wood, was because as an elf she was extremely patient as life has taught her to be. She was capable to wait for Drake for hours without complaint. It had afforded her with her unique relationship with him, and the perks that went along with it.
Drake looked up to her having organized his desk and uncovering the paper he was searching for. "This is different from my normal jobs for you, but I hope you'll excel well at it."
Tahlae was instantly on guard as she nodded slowly. Drake usually had her running errands that he didn't trust others with, or a simple locate job. Occasionally he had had her track a person, or retrieve an item. Little things that were still difficult and sensitive enough for him to call on her.
"This is a matter of utmost sensitivity, and something that requires your delicate had."
"What is it you wish of me this time friend?" The elf asked in return tactfully reminding him that their relationship was also something he needed to worry about.
"Protection to be exact," Drake replied with a sigh.
"I will gladly take an item into the Wood with me," Tahlae was still on guard feeling there was more than just that. "You and I both know that only the elves and sprite people dare venture into our lands."
Drake pursed his lips, "Well that won't be possible. You see you will be protecting a human, and he has lived his whole life in the city."
Tahlae measured her words carefully before speaking, "A human? Is there something important about a human that requires me?" The man from the café flashed into her mind, but she quickly pushed the image away.
Drake nodded slowly. He pushed a near invisible button; their conversation was no longer being recorded for his protection, and it set Tahlae on edge. "You see the human is my child in a way."
"In a way?"
"Cloning is strictly forbidden, as you know, this human is a person that is more me than his mother, but still a child of mine force grown. He was instilled with many of my memories through the process, but lacks the refinement I gained after revamping myself."
"Imprinting is forbidden too," Tahlae responded.
Drake nodded, "His imprinting was limited as the law requires, so he could grow into his own self, but the remainder of my memories are stored in chip in his brain that will activate only at my command."
"You made yourself a backup," the elf whispered astonished at what the demon was willing to do to live for eternity.
"Just a precaution I assure you, we both know that demons live nearly as long as the elves do!" Drake smiled, but Tahlae could see it didn't reach his eyes. He was hiding something from her.
"Fair enough, but as such the human, by law, is his own self, and in no need of protection."
Drake sighed, and rose from his seat. He looked out over the city from the window and leaned heavily on his desk. "There have been whisperings that some of the other human business men are wondering about my humanity. There have been several attempts on my life already, and I am having to wear this skin nearly always." Drake turned back to face her, "If necessary I can trigger the man's memories, and use him as the human proof, or have a replacement if the attempts work.
"Either way the truth about him cannot be revealed."
Tahlae nodded slowly in understanding. She already that that itch that this job would be a lot harder than it should be. "So you are requesting that I stay in the city with this human?"
The demon in human skin nodded as he toggled the recorders again. "He is special to me, and so I simply ask that you not ask questions of why I want him protected," the demon stated clearly so the conversation seemed to have never diverted from the recording.
"I have already procured a flat in a nice part of the city," he shuffled some papers to find one and hand it to her. "That is the address; while it's not the best of the best, it's enough that an elf won't be too noticeable, and both of you will be comfortable enough. I have already granted you access to my personal accounts to make purchases for food or anything else you may require."
Before Drake could push on Tahlae sat forward, "Do you think it's wise for me to use your accounts? If this human needs protection, then wouldn't it be better to have an account to use not affiliated with you?"
Drake studied her for a moment, and the elf wondered if he was angry from her interruption by the bland look on his face. Then the human clad demon smile, "Of course, that my dear," he waggled a finger at her and winked, "is why I need you for this job!"
The demon paused to look at his papers again, and then nodded, "It will be set up by the time you get to the location, and I will email you the account information, encrypted of course.
"I also set you up with a secure and untraceable line to me personally should you need to contact me off the grid."
Tahlae sat back and thought it over. This was too much even if it was for an illegal person that might be used to replace the current Drake if he were killed. Something was still very off about this, but Tahlae kept it to herself. It was something in her gut that she couldn't put her finger on. Drake would dismiss this as nothing, but any of the elves in the Wood would instantly understand that it was nothing to be ignored. As a born elf the others gave her a great deal of respect, and had learned to not ignore her gut feelings. Drake was not an elf, and this was not the Wood.
"Will I be meeting this human there at the location?"
Drake smiled and stood. He pushed another button, "Rama, come in here please."
Tahlae stood from the chair as a door behind her opened. She turned, and kept her reactions to herself as her eyes swept over the man from the café earlier.
"The elf," Rama stated.
Drake sighed, "I take that to mean you two have met?"
"Rama was at the café where I stopped for a drink before coming to see you," Tahlae answered before the man could.
"Then you understand what I mean when I say he lacks my refinement," Drake stated.
Tahlae turned her black eyes to Drake. "I take it that the protection is to start now."
Drake nodded, "You are to take him to the location I have gotten, and stay safe until I contact you…"
He trailed off, and the elf understood that he also meant that if the demon turned up dead then she was to take Rama to someone that could awaken his memories.
Tahlae turned to Rama, and studied his closely cropped black hair, bright brown eyes, and white complexion. He would easily blend into the city while she would stand out.
She glanced to Drake to be sure he was done with her, and then strode past the man out the door. Rama was only a few steps behind her as she left the building. Once on the street he followed her closely from behind.
"How is it that my father has the strings to make an elf come into the city?" he asked in her ear once they had left the busy industrial section of the city, and began traveling through the residential areas.
Tahlae didn't glance at Rama as she continued walking, "Why do you think it is true that every elf hates the city?"
Rama considered the question for a moment, "Everyone says it's true, and you are the first elf I have ever seen. Besides the elves all left the city to go into the refuges. They haven't come out since, so why wouldn't it be true?"
Tahlae shook her head. "So then every demon is evil and likes killing, every human is bland and unimaginative, every dwarf likes the dark and hard labor and every animal crossbreed is into bestiality?"
"Well no, I didn't say that-"
"You said that because you know the stereotypes of elves, and have never met one you assumed they're all true. The same could be said of every person on this planet then." Tahlae skirted around a large horse drawn carriage, and ran a soothing hand down the horse as they passed each other. The animal helped her to redirect her ire to someone worth it- the person in the carriage.
"But I know dwarves and demons and several animal crossbreeds; each one is different. The stereotypes aren't always right," Rama defended his friends.
"Then why apply them to me?" the elf instantly asked.
"Well I'd never met an elf, and the stereotypes seemed to be true."
Tahlae halted in her tracks forcing Rama to do the same, "Now you have met an elf," she told him, "and you can stop believing the stereotypes about my people because they obviously don't apply to everyone do they?"
"I guess not?" Rama answered uncertainly.
The woman began walking again at a quicker pace with a frown. While she had been talking with the human she wasn't really paying that much attention to him. They were being followed already, and had been since they left the warehouse.
Tahlae closed the distance between her and the human that now walked at her side. She began heading for the wrong direction, and leading Rama deeper into towering buildings that sought to scrape the sky with their roofs. Shadows descended over the streets with the imposing building blocking out most sunlight.
Rama didn't seem to notice that Tahlae was heading in the wrong direction now. He was too busy looking up at the window that seemed to stretch upward forever.
"I often wonder what it would be like to be a bird and fly around the people that try to reach the heights they can."
Tahlae didn't answer, and instead covered Rama's mouth as she pulled him into a trash storage access for one of the buildings. The woman waited for the person following then to pass and then released Rama.
"You don't have a personal communications link."
Rama frowned, "I-"
"Troublesome," the woman glanced out of their hiding spot, "come on he's gone; let's go quickly."
Rama thankfully heard the urgency in Tahlae's voice, and complied without complain. Once they were well away from the area, and the elf had slowed her pace to a more reasonable one the man asked, "What was that about?"
"We were being followed; the last thing I need is to lead someone to where we will be," the woman replied curtly.
Rama glanced behind them looking for anybody suspicious. "I didn't even notice.."
Tahlae shrugged off the man's reaction to her statement, "Why don't you have a PCL?"
Rama looked back to the woman again, "I do, but it's inactive."
"Father says it make it easier for you to be tracked, and for the government to access your personal data chip."
"Do you believe everything your father tells you?" Tahlae asked as she entered a building, and headed for the stairs.
"Yes, why would he lie to me- there are elevators!" he grabbed the woman by the arm as she passed them.
Tahlae looked at his hand on her arm, and then to Rama's face. "Are you too lazy to take the stairs?"
Rama released the woman given her glare, "The elevators are easier."
"If everything in life were a matter of what's easier and what's harder where would the challenge in living be?" the elf didn't wait for an answer, and opened the door to the stairs. It wasn't long before the door flew open again.
"Are all elves so philosophical?" Rama asked has he caught up to Tahlae.
"Are all city dwellers so nosy?"
Rama fell silent again until they reached the floor their flat was on. Stepping into the hallway he beamed at the elf, "That was invigorating!"
"Life's best joys come from the simplest things, and the ones that you work for the most," the elf muttered as she stopped in front of the door of their place.
She pressed her thumb to the scanner, keyed the code, and waited for the scan. Once it was all done she entered the flat, and turned on the alarm system Drake had installed.
"Get comfortable, we're going to be here for a while," Tahlae instructed as she headed to the kitchen to see what Drake had already provided as provisions.
It was going to be a long job.

As soon as you cross the finish line, you can start taking steps to reduce muscle soreness, rebuild your body's fuel supply, and get back to your normal routine sooner rather than later. Here's what to do—and when to do it—to bounce back from your big day.
How Much Recovery Time Do You Really Need?
When Leaving the Finishing Chute
Keep walking. Movement helps the heart pump fresh, oxygen-rich blood through your body.
More: How to Use Active Recovery to Improve Your Running
Avoid stopping or sitting for at least 30 minutes post race. Walk to the food tent to start the refueling process—have about 300 calories of simple carbs (some sports drink and a banana) within a half hour of finishing.
How to Prevent the Most Common Running Injuries
Back at Home or Your Hotel
Soak your legs in a cool bath for 15 minutes to reduce inflammation. Walk around for 10 to 30 minutes, 2 or 3 times during the afternoon. Between your walks, recline with your legs elevated.
More: Best Recovery Methods to Ease Muscle Soreness
Eat small meals every 2 to 3 hours—aim to get 25 percent of calories from protein, 20 percent from fat and the rest from complex carbs. And drink water or a sports drink—your urine should be pale yellow.
Foods That Help You Heal Faster
In the Days After
Continue to hydrate. Massage sore muscles with your hands or a foam roller for five minutes each day. If you're really suffering, ask your doctor whether anti-inflammatory medication might help.
More: 3 Post-Workout Meals That Lower Inflammation
Every other day, do this gentle workout to encourage blood flow to recovering muscles: Walk for 10 minutes, run a few seconds each minute for 10 to 20 minutes, and finish with 10 minutes of walking.
In the Weeks After
Gradually add running time to your every-other-day workouts until you're back to where you were before the race. On non-running days, walk or do gentle cross-training. If you're eager to participate in another race, wait at least three weeks before doing a 5K, and 4 to 6 weeks before doing anything longer.

U.S. Bottled Water Industry has Very Small Environmental Footprint, According to a New Study
Alexandria, VA — The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) recently commissioned a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) study to determine the environmental footprint of the United States bottled water industry. The results indicate that bottled water has a very small environmental footprint. The study found:
-Measurement based on British Thermal Units (BTUs) indicates that the energy consumed to produce small pack water bottled water containers (containers from 8 ounces to 2.5 gallons) amounted to only 0.067 percent of the total energy use in the United States in 2007. Home and Office Delivery (HOD) bottled water (reusable bottles from 2.5 to 5 gallons) energy consumption only amounted to 0.003 percent of the total energy used in the United States in 2007.
-The small pack and HOD bottled water industries' combined greenhouse gas/ CO2 emissions amounted to only 0.08 percent of total United States greenhouse gas emissions.
-Bottled water packaging discards accounted for only 0.64 percent of the 169 million tons of total U.S. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) discards in 2007.
-The process and transportation BTU energy use for the bottled water industry was only 0.07 percent of total U.S. BTU primary energy consumption.
-Greenhouse gas emissions per half gallon of single serve bottled water came to 426.4 grams CO2 equivalent (eq.), which is 75 percent less CO2 eq. per half gallon than orange juice.
-Small pack bottled water generates 46 percent less CO2 eq. when compared to soft drinks also packaged in PET plastic.
Franklin Associates, a division of ERG, produced the LCI and prepared a report that quantified the energy requirements, solid waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions for the production, packaging, transport, and end-of- life management for bottled water consumed in the United States in 2007. According to a 2008 Beverage Marketing Corporation report, total consumption of bottled water in the U.S. in 2007 was 8.8 billion gallons.
The environmentally aware actions of many bottled water companies, such as the use of more recycled PET (rPET) in their bottle production, increasing recycling rates, and enhanced light-weighting, have positively impacted the environmental footprint of the industry.
Another recent study confirms the bottled water industry's very small environmental footprint. On March 2, 2010, Nestle Waters North America, an IBWA member, released peer-reviewed findings on its environmental footprint, in a study conducted by Quantis International.
Key findings from the study include:
-Water is the least environmentally impactful beverage option.
–Tap water has lightest footprint, followed by tap water consumed in reusable bottles (if used more than 10 times), and then by bottled water.
-Bottled water is the most environmentally responsible packaged drink choice.
–Sports drinks, enhanced waters and soda produce nearly 50% more carbon dioxide emissions per serving than bottled water.
–Juice, beer and milk produce nearly three times as many carbon dioxide emissions per serving than bottled water.
–Milk, coffee, beer, wine and juice together comprise 28% of a consumer's total beverage consumption but represent 58% of climate change impact.
Technical Highlights From the IBWA LCI Study
Energy- The IBWA LCI report looked at the BTU (British Thermal Unit) values for fuels and electricity consumed in the production of bottled water. The information is categorized according to six basic energy sources: natural gas, petroleum, coal, nuclear, hydropower, and other (solar, biomass and geothermal energy). Also included in the LCI report are the BTU values for all transportation steps and production of packaging materials, including the energy content of fossil-fuel derived packaging materials.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2007 the United States consumed 101,553,855 billion (102 quadrillion) BTUs of primary energy as fuels (this is approximately 335.9 million BTU per person).1 Based on this data, the IBWA LCI report found that:
-The production, packaging, and transportation of the 8,757 million gallons of HOD and small pack bottled water consumed in the U.S. in 2007 required 107.4 trillion BTU.2 Thus, process and transportation energy use for the bottled water industry was 0.07 percent of total U.S. primary energy consumption reported by EIA.
-Of the 107.4 trillion BTU used in 2007 for bottled water, 102.6 trillion was for small pack water (0.067 percent of the total energy use in the United States in 2007) and 4.8 trillion for HOD water (0.003 percent of the total energy used by the United States in 2007).
Solid Waste – The report examined solid wastes generated from the production, processing, packaging, and transportation of bottled water. The quantities of postconsumer packaging wastes (packaging that is disposed after the bottled water is consumed) were adjusted to account for current recycling levels for plastic, glass, and corrugated packaging.
Americans generated 254 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2007, as reported by the U.S. EPA. After recovery for recycling, total MSW discards were 169.2 million tons.3
Based on data reported by IBWA members for small pack and HOD water, the total weight of packaging materials used for bottled water packaging in 2007 was 1.64 million tons. After adjusting for recycling of containers and packaging, the net amount of bottled water packaging disposed of in landfills was 1.08 million tons.
-At 1.08 million tons, bottled water packaging discards account for 0.64 percent of the 169 million tons of total U.S. MSW discards in 2007.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions-Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are expressed as CO2 equivalents (CO2 eq).4
According to the EIA, total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2007 were 7,947 million tons of CO2 eq.5 Based on this data, the IBWA LCI report found that:
-The small pack and HOD bottled water industries combined emit 6.8 million tons of CO2 eq. a year, which is equivalent to 0.08 percent of total United States emissions.
-The life cycle GHG emissions per half gallon of small pack bottled water are 426.4 grams CO2 eq., which is 75 percent less CO2 eq. per half gallon than orange juice (1700 grams of CO2 eq. per half gallon).6
-The life cycle carbon footprint for a 500 ml PET bottle of a name brand soft drink is reportedly 240 grams CO2 eq, and the carbon footprint for 500 ml PET diet soft drink bottle is reportedly 220 grams CO2 eq.7 At 111 g CO2 eq. per 500 ml equivalent basis, small pack bottled water generates 46 percent less CO2 eq. when compared to these soft drinks.8

Coca-Cola moves to counter Pepsi's IPL bonanza through entry-level price war, and market expansion
The top beverages maker will take its Rs8 price point for Coke national, introduce 400-ml PET bottles, increase distribution with a focus on small towns and launch a new campaign with hit film 'Student of the Year' actors Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra during the IPL season, company officials said.
The campaign will be themed around 'Refreshment at Rs 8' to drive the low price point. The company believes these plans will help it effectively counter rival PepsiCo's big-ticket plan to paint IPL with its colour. PepsiCo will be spending almost Rs150 crore, or Rs3 crore per day, on the 50-day tournament having bagged almost all possible onair and on-ground sponsorship deals.
PepsiCo has picked title sponsorship of IPL for five years for Rs400 crore, or Rs80 crore per year, starting this season. It also spent more than Rs60 crore to become one of the two presenting sponsors of the IPL on broadcasting channel SET Max, which gives it the maximum airtime during matches, besides coughing up more than Rs10 crore to become drinking partners of eight out of nine IPL teams. Branding experts, however, say that high-decibel advertising alone cannot woo consumers to brands. "A wiser strategy is to invest on distribution and pampering consumers with attractive prices through out the year," Harish Bijoor, veteran brand strategy consultant, said.
A Coca-Cola official said that unlike PepsiCo, which is investing heavily in peak summer months through IPL, Coca-Cola's strategy hinges on year-round activation.
"Over the years, we have observed that the seasonality curve for beverages is tapering off. Our communication strategy will be aligned to this business reality," Anupama Ahluwalia, VP marketing at Coca-Cola India, said.
Richa Arora, founder and chief strategy officer of consultancy firm Five by Six Consulting, said, "Seasonality is flattening out marginally, but summer remains the big season for beverages." She added that the beverages firms need to look beyond the two months of IPL. Coca-Cola, which selectively dropped prices of 200-ml glass bottles of Coke to Rs8 last year, is now taking this price point national although its profit margin is negligible. "This price point hurts profitability, but the firm is hoping volumes would make up for it," an official involved with the developments said. "It's also necessary to spur consumption of brand Coke - in line with the global mandate to push the brand's market share," the person added. The company will continue selling brands such as Thums Up and Sprite at Rs11 and Rs12.
Ahluwalia said the Rs8 entry point for Coca-Cola will bring new consumers into the cola segment. "We are leveraging our distribution and route to market capabilities to build on this," she said. The firm is also introducing 400-ml PET packs, priced at Rs18- 20, to fill the gap between 300-ml glass bottles and 500-ml PET bottles.
A first for the industry, the firm is hopeful this pack will help step up consumption of its beverage brands Coke and Thums Up colas, lemon drinks Sprite and Limca, and orange beverage Fanta. Coca-Cola will also be airing its campaign on SET Max during IPL. It has already bought advertising spots up to 50% of what PepsiCo has, and is expected to scale it up to 70% as the tournament progresses.
Declining to comment on specific deals, Rohit Gupta, president of Multi Screen Media (MSM), which owns SET Max channel, said: "Depending on the category, firms competing with sponsors can buy anywhere between 70% and 80% of air-time." On the distribution front, Coca-Cola is stepping up its presence in untapped smaller towns. From the existing 2.2 million outlets in the country that Coke reaches, it is targeting 2.4 million outlets. Coca-Cola, across its brands, has close to 54% share in the Rs14,000-crore Indian soft drink market, while PepsiCo holds 36%. The rest is accounted for by smaller, local brands including RC Cola and Campa Cola.

why doesn't MEPIS have many variants?
I know antiX is the only variant ["fork?"] of MEPIS, and I wonder if there is a reason. I don't know; possibly MEPIS users are so satisfied with MEPIS that they feel no need to make variants.
I had this thought because I am in the middle of switching from SimplyMEPIS to a heavily modified antiX. (Or should I consider antiX not a MEPIS-based distro but a type of MEPIS? The former seems obvious--antiX is substantially different.) AntiX works as a base for my modifications, so I don't need another variant. It just suddenly dawned on me that every other Debian-based distro I can think of, especially Ubuntu, has about ten thousand variants ["forks"?], so MEPIS is slightly unusual for having almost none.
(Why am I giving up SimplyMEPIS, you might ask? I hesitate to fully open that can of worms, but the short answer is, the bitter march of progress made a certain major design change inevitable for MEPIS 11, and that change was highly inconvenient to me.)
Interesting point! To me, antiX is it's own Debian derived distro with some links with Mepis rather than a Mepis variant. There used to be Danum Canteras which was the first KDE4 flavour of Mepis. Not sure of the current status of that. I have heard of proposed Gnome respins etc. but nothing seems to have taken off like antiX has.
Sometimes it just pays to do one thing well. Mepis and Antix is a smaller community and is not as large a community as Debian or Ubuntu. Their membership is one of the courteous and helpful on the net IMO.
I have no complaints.
$ inxi -F
Warren pretty much decides what is included (after feedback from members) in Mepis before a release.
Because it is easy enough to install a different DE or WM, which is basically what the multitude of Ubuntu variations are.
Mepis does it right.
When MEPIS 11 came out, I tried it, but already knew I would have a huge problem with it: MEPIS uses KDE and was inevitably going to switch to KDE 4. I don't like KDE 4 and refuse to use it, mostly because of the Plasma Desktop. The Plasma Desktop is two things--(1)a bloated memory hog (as far as I can tell from my experience with it); (2)a kludge, a blatantly unnecessary complication of what already worked (KDE 3.5).
This isn't MEPIS's fault, because any KDE-using distro has no choice but to adopt KDE 4. (I've never seen a distro that uses or even includes Trinity. I intend to make one as soon as I get the hang of remastering.) But I don't have the time or energy to learn how to control the Plasma Desktop even if I wanted to. (I don't. KDE 3.5 worked and I was comfortable with it.) I've successfully installed Trinity in MEPIS, and that worked. But I thought it seemed a good idea to install Trinity on a MEPIS that had never had KDE 4 at all (I was seeing messages about files being diverted or renamed or something), and the closest thing I could find to a MEPIS without KDE 4 was antiX.
I use Debian stable (squeeze) which Mepis 11 is apparently based on. I dabbled with Mepis for a period of time, but i do not get satisfactory results. I have integrated intel graphics and desktop effects work out of the box with almost all distos. debian Squeeze is not one of these; it requires a upgraded kernel and xorg from backports but works fine after this. I used Mepis and doing the same, i could not enable desktop effects. The Mepis community suggested i use sgfxi/smxim, but i had no need in Debian and i don't know why i shoud need to do this for Mepis. Little things like this is why i think Debian is a much better distro to be based on. Ubuntu has many distros based on it, and well, you may bring that up to argue with my opinion, and while that may be facts, i don't have many things positive to say for Ubuntu, and i don't think the distros based on it will last for a very long time. In saying all this, i think Warren may have a similar opinion in some respect, after all, Mepis used to be based on Debian but moved to Ubuntu and then back to Debain. wise choice in my opinion. So there's my 2 cents. I am very fond of Debian, and like Mepis a fare bit too; but i would like to see Mepis meet debians compatibility, otherwise, i wouldn't switch, and for reasons like this, when devs are considering creating a new distro; if they choose to base it on another, i can understand why they would rather choose the MORE vanilla Debian over Mepis or another; and i type more in capitals because it's important to realize that although Debian is close (to my understanding), it isn't purely vanilla.
I am still running an 8-year-old copy of Mepis on my home computer, but as i type this am downloading Mepsi 8.0.15. What should i be aware of, especially in light of what you are saying about the various versions of KDE?
Might help.
Thanks. I proceed with eyes open.
Thanks for the tip. I am currently at a cyber cafe having booted to the Mepis 8.0.15 that i downloaded on Wednesday. The KDE desktop is fairly familiar to me, and, based upon advice here and elsewhere, i'll be content to stick with this desktop for awhile. The next step is to get this onto a bootable flash drive for greater convenience.
Bear in mind that as Mepis 8.0 is based on Debian Lenny, security updates will no longer be available as of Feb 2012.
Yes, i am aware of this. Remember, i'm just now upgrading from an 8-year-old distro, which i never once upgraded. Maybe it's just dumb luck, but i never had a security problem. Still, i appreciate the heads up.

Conrad Cummings and Fredo Meli bout is taking us right back in time
Whichever way you look at tonight's main event in the Waterfront Hall, it seems guaranteed that Conrad Cummings and Fredo Meli will serve up a full throttle battle those in attendance will savour.
Indeed, Northern Ireland fight fans will tonight get a taste of what boxing used to be like in the halcyon days of the Ulster Hall and King's Hall.
In the 1940s through to the 1960s, local men regularly came together and delivered fights to remember. They may be unknown to the general public today but the old timers will still talk about true warriors such as Gerry Hasset, Patsy Quinn, Peter Sharp and Jim Keery's epic duels with Mickey O'Neill - to name a few.
Step forward Cummings and Meli - two young professionals with unbeaten records seeking a pathway to a British title shot.
Tonight, the vacant British Boxing Board of Control's Celtic middleweight title is on the line and for many it has been the first significant step along the road to greater glory. That was the case for Carl Frampton, who Cummings trains alongside in London under the guidance of coach Shane McGuigan.
Coalisland man Cummings will enter the arena as the favourite, with manager Barry McGuigan insisting that he can propel himself into major fights in 2016.
Cummings, who headlines for the first time, said: "Barry and Shane have seen what I can do in the gym and now I want them to see it in the ring.
"It's a big night for me, it's my chance to show that I can be a headline act and I believe that I will handle the occasion.
"I'm the opposite of Carl. He's very cool and laid back but I'm a bit more wired up and extreme so it's just a case of staying calm and Shane is very good at keeping me focused. He's made a big difference to me.
"Meli's a good fighter and I respect him, he throws lots of punches, but I believe that I will just be too big for him. He'll be shocked when he feels my power."
Former British featherweight champion Martin Lindsay is part of the Meli camp, based in the Immaculata club, and he expects to see a hot pace from the first bell to the last.
"Fredo is one of the most determined guys you're going to meet and I've no doubt he'll be standing there at the end after 10 rounds," said Lindsay.
"Fredo will fight fire with fire and he'll ask questions about Conrad's whiskers. He's had some great sparring for this fight and the only way I see this fight not going the distance is if he puts Cummings down.
"The way I see it, all the pressure is on Conrad and Fredo has nothing to lose."
It is also an important night for popular featherweight Marc McCullough, who is seeking to drive back into contention for a British or Commonwealth title shot.
McCullough - who suffered a shock defeat in the summer - is facing Spain's former European title challenger Sergio Prado in a 10-rounder.
McCullough said: "I had been lined up to face Jon Slowey so I've had to adapt my training. It's a really good fight for me because I hope to be back in the top 10 in Europe and it means that big opportunities should open up for me again."
The supporting bill, which starts at 6.45pm, features Commonwealth Games gold medallist Paddy Gallagher as well as fellow Belfast men Matt Wilton and Paul Hyland. Coalisland's Fergal McCrory makes his debut and hot Scottish prospect Josh Taylor is also on the bill.

THIS year's Cowley Road Carnival might still be a recent memory but organisers are already preparing for next year's event.
Tens of thousands descended on East Oxford in July for the annual celebration of the city's diverse culture.
While many volunteers contribute to its success, it is estimated that about £100,000 is needed to put the carnival on.
This weekend the first in a year-long programme of fundraising events is set to begin.
Supporters will take part in a sponsored cycle from Jackdaw Lane to destinations including Chipping Norton over 20, 50 or 80 miles. Carnival organisers are encouraging keen cyclists to sign up to the Bike Oxford event on Sunday to support the carnival.
Paul Wolf, a trustee of Carnival organiser Cowley Road Works, said: "We will be encouraging our supporters, their staff and the 45,000 members of the community that attended the carnival to get in the saddle to draw in much-needed sponsorship for the carnival."
Carnival spokesman Sarah Airey added: "Thoughout the course of the year we want to try to get the message out to people who come and enjoy the carnival to participate in making sure the finances stack up.
- Last year's event
"There are lots of volunteers who help but nonetheless there are costs that are involved in making sure it can happen, such as paying for the clean-up and for the road closure. There will be a full programme of fundraising activities over the next year and the intention will be to have something happening every month to keep the ball rolling.
"As much as anything, holding these events can be good for the community."
The carnival, launched in 2001, returned to Cowley Road last year after a two-year absence. Last year the city council agreed to provide three years of annual funding at £30,000. In recent years the event has also been sponsored by BMW Mini, at Cowley.

Labour Party bosses are 'unlikely' to overturn plans to impose women-only candidates on Wigan's two parliamentary seats.
According to a national party source such an about-face would be very unusual.
He said: "The National Executive Committee will always listen to the views of constituency parties but it would be highly, highly unusual for such a decision to be overturned at this stage.
"In fact I have only known it once in the last 10 years."
Members of the Makerfield party have voted to reject the female shortlists three days after the Wigan party took the same decision.
The two MPs, Ian McCartney and Neil Turner, have both announced they will stand down at the next election.
A special constituency meeting attacked the party's national hierarchy for imposing the diktat designed to usher more women into the Commons.
More than 60 members attended the Makerfield meeting – three times the usual turnout.
Although there is no formal appeal procedure against the "no men" ban, members will be lobbying the NEC in the hope that they can persuade it to change its recommendation.

I don't know how this stuff gets out into the collective creative unconscious but I think I like it.
Adam Silverman's amazing pottery at Peel Gallery is apparently channeling diseases of the skin from a 1940's medical textbook. It's like mid-century art pottery run amok. The effect is both repulsive and attractive and I wish I could afford one.
Meanwhile at The Joanna, Hunting Prize winner, Lane Hagood is displaying a leper colony of statuary on the gallery's fireplace mantle. Featuring altered classical bric-a-brac, they're really funny. Spray foam never looked so good.
Let's just hope that the Hunting Prize doesn't take his 50 grand back. The award, sponsored by global oil-services company Hunting PLC, is always presented a gala marked by the un-ironic use of Greek statuary, er, guys in Speedos painted gold to look like statues.

An appeal was filed in federal court Monday on behalf of a woman who was fired from her job as a bartender at Harrah's Casino in Reno after 21 years for not adhering to rigid gender stereotypes as prescribed in the company's new dress code. After enacting its "Personal Best" program, Harrah's reportedly terminated Darlene Jespersen in August 2000. The program required all women in the beverage department to wear makeup, which was specified as foundation or powder, blush, lipstick, and mascara. The women were also required to wear their hair teased, curled, or styled and to wear nude or natural-color stockings. "To me, wearing makeup should be a personal choice," Jespersen said. "I'm doing the same job as male bartenders, and they don't have to wear makeup."
During her two full decades working for Harrah's, Jespersen's supervisors consistently rated her "highly effective" in all aspects of her work, including her personal appearance. But because wearing makeup made her feel so sexualized and uncomfortable that she couldn't do her job, she resisted and was fired, she said. Jespersen filed a federal lawsuit accusing Harrah's of sex discrimination, which is prohibited under federal law. Late last year a federal judge ruled against Jesperson, saying the appearance standards were applied evenhandedly to both sexes; Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund then stepped in to handle her case in the ninth circuit U.S. court of appeals.
Federal civil rights laws have been seen as allowing employers to institute dress codes or other standards that impose different but essentially equal burdens on men and women. But Lambda is arguing that Harrah's Casino's "Personal Best" program is not an equal burden on men and women, since men are required only to keep their hair cut above the collar, their fingernails trimmed, and their face free of makeup. "This is a classic sex discrimination case," said Jennifer C. Pizer, senior staff attorney in Lambda's Western regional office. "Harrah's fired Darlene because she wouldn't adhere to the most extreme stereotypes of women, even though her supervisors praised her and her customers loved her."

Moto Mods are kind of a weird thing for me — they're a really neat idea, but I don't think they've been executed well. I am sure that some of you will disagree with me, but that's not the point here. In a deal that made me do a double-take, AT&T has the Incipio Offgrid Power Pack for a measly, paltry $10, a whopping $70 off the MSRP.
Inane name aside, this mod can give you up to an additional 20 hours of life on your phone while supporting both Qi and PMA for wireless charging.

It was whilst researching the output of Storm Studio, the Oslo and London based studio responsible for much of the follow-up and special effects for the Oscar winning Peter and the Wolf (many congratulations to brother and sister Kristin and Lars Hellbust) that I came upon today's rather special movie - Out. It was produced, like so many other great and almost impossibly accomplished movies I have featured on the Animation Blog, by three Supinfocom Valenciennes students, Samuel Deroubaix, Jerome Dernoncourt and Corentin Laplatte. Using clips and stills from four classic westerns, Stagecoach, Fort Apache, Rio Grande and High Noon, the trio patch together a six minute, mad-cap chase sequence of absurdly effective 3D adventures in, for the most part, black, white and orange. In a series of "Once Upon A Time" adventures our twelve foot hero egged on by the director ("I want water , send in the water!") drives his car ( a magnificent man in his flying machine) in a phrenetic chase much to the appreciation of the girl from the movie. "Wonderful!" she swoons and our hero gets the girl in the end. But not before we have some inspired splicing of Hollywood and Supinfocom, the 3D characters and vehicles strangely sitting well alongside the old films. A fabulous fairground roller coaster and an under water sequence were my highlights, though perhaps the zany soundtrack, ratcheting up the whole mad, frenzied experience, is an equal delight. Watch the movie and enjoy the extras on the film's website. Which brings me back to Storm Studio who just happen to have signed up one of the three - Corentin Laplatte (Coco). More about him when I have continued to peel away the onion layers to reveal the many talented young people Storm have attracted. Oh, and I have not forgotten the Polish Se-Ma-For Studio where the bulk of the work for Peter and the Wolf was produced.

I have a Trane model YCC024F1L0BE manufactured on 07/1999 that stopped heating on Christmas Eve. I called out a tech yesterday and he inspected the unit. The on board diagnostic LED would flash three time when the thermostat called for heat which indicated a bad valve.
When the tech tapped on the diaphragm that is connected via a vacuum hose to the exhaust blower, the burner lit-up fine. So we though I might get away with a part that costs less than $X00.
When the fire box got hot enough, the blower kicked-on, and we noticed another problem. The steady "after burner sound" changed to what sounded like a someone blowing on the burner... kind of a puff-puff sound. The tech took a closer look and, and showed me where the flame from the burner was rolling-out. It wasn't rolling-out much, but the tech advised me that I had a potentially dangerous fire and CO situation, and not to run to heater until it was either replaced or fixed. He also told me that I had a bad heat exchanger.
The tech said that I would be better off replacing the unit because who knows what would go next (I have noticed the A/C compressor is quite noisy), and I would have a warranty not to mention a more efficient heating and cooling unit.
Question: Given the unit is 8 years old, is it better to take the tech's advice, and get a new unit, or would I better off spending over a grand and replacing the parts that need to be replaced?
Is the Trane YCC024 a good unit, and I'm just unlucky, or is it a trouble maker that I'd just end-up soaking money in to.
The tech recommends a 13 Seer 2 Ton Gas Package. He did not write down a model number, but after some searching, it looks like he means the Rheem RRNAB024. I noticed there is also a RRNL-B and RRPL-B which are the next steps up.
Is the RRNA good, or would I be better paying a little more for the RRNL-B or RRPL-B.
Or should I just bite the bullet and go for the RQPW (Hybrid) which is what I'd really like to get. My electric here is $0.07/kWh, and natural gas is $1.61/Therm. Would it be worth it?
Finally, is Rheem a good unit? I know, Ford, Chevy or Toyota, but I guess I mean to say is there any reason I should look harder at a Rheem than say, another Trane, or Carrier, or Bryant, or Lennox, or whoever?
Any advice welcome!

The next step, worse than first. XML attribute filter
OK, so I had some help from folks on this site getting to this point.
When a user hovers on the html link I get the html content, in this case 'IO'. Now I need to find the matching 'term' attribute in the XML file, and then get the corresponding 'def' attribute. But I am stuck, nothing I have tried is working.
Any suggestions? I was hoping not to use the jQuery 'each' function, I believe that an attribute filter search is faster.
<glossary> <item term="AAA" def="Anti-aircraft Artillary" rollover="Anti-aircraft Artillery" /> <item term="ABCCC" def="Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center" /> <item term="ABP" def="Air Battle Plan" /> <item term="IO" def="Information Operations" /> <glossary>Code:
IOCode:
function onRollOverPULink(evt) { alert($(theXMLFile)); alert($(theXMLFile).find($("attribute[term='" + evt.innerHTML + "']"))); alert($(theXMLFile)) }

Getting comfortableThe Demons work on getting rid of the nerves and getting into shape
IOWA CITY — After not running the high hurdles last spring as a freshman, Washington's Jacob Hennigan was thrilled to qualify for the finals of the 60-meter hurdles at Thursday's sixth-annual Demon Indoor.
"I was surprised, to say the least," said Hennigan, who ran a time of 8.87 seconds to tie for 15th place in the preliminaries. "I definitely didn't expect that. I was excited."
And nervous. Even though Hennigan was a member of Washington's shuttle hurdle relay team that ran at the state track meet last spring, he was nervous to run in front of the packed house at the University of Iowa Rec Building.
"I know he was a nervous wreck," Washington head coach Steve Roth said. "But for him not high hurdling last year, I thought he handled the pressure really well."
Roth told Hennigan to relax, and that's what he tried to do in the finals. He ran a smooth race, and finished 11th in 9.15 seconds.
"I was very nervous," Hennigan said. "Coach Roth came over and told me to just run relaxed and do like we'd been practicing."
But Hennigan hadn't practiced too much on hurdling. Snow on the Case Field track has kept the Demons from practicing outdoors much so far this spring. Luckily, Hennigan had attended a hurdling clinic at the University of Iowa last Sunday.
"I got some experience there," he said. "I got a little advantage over everybody else. I got my steps down, so it felt a little more natural coming out [of the blocks]."
While Hennigan fell into a groove in the hurdles, the rest of Washington's runners spent Thursday's meet trying to get into the swing of the track and field season.
"Everybody needed to run," Roth said. "We needed times on them. We've been inside. We've gotten outside twice, and we didn't do anything really hard outside because it's too cold."
The quartet of Noah Lebsack, Justin Hoffman, Alan Sanchez and Logan Moeller ran both the 4x800 and 4x400 relays, as Roth was trying to get some conditioning for those four athletes. The group finished finished 41st in the 4x400 relay in 3:57.85.
"The 4x400 guys had a good workout, and that's what we wanted," Roth said. "They'll be tired and sore today."
Sophomore Tommy Peterson finished 26th in the shot put with a throw of 42 feet, 2 inches. Senior Austin Witt, who is out for track for the first time since his freshman year, showed promise in the high jump, clearing 5-6 to tie for 24th place.
Juniors Alex Coker and Carl Sivels came in 39th and 44th in the 60-meter dash, respectively. Coker crossed the finish line in 7.52 seconds, and Sivels was five-hundredths of a second slower.
Sophomore Gage Redlinger finished 43rd in the 200-meter dash in 25.38 seconds. Junior Garrett Covington was 50th in 25.51 seconds, and senior Kyle Roder came in 54th in 25.62 seconds.
Junior Austin Latcham finished 38th in the 800-meter run in 2:23.06.
"I'm very pleased with some of the times," Roth said. "Some of the guys are right where they were this time last year with no conditioning."
A record 37 teams attended Thursday's Demon Indoor. Even with hundreds of athletes competing, the meet still ran smoothly.
"I'd like to thank the Washington staff that helped me on Monday and Thursday," Roth said. "We couldn't put on a meet like this — we had 37 teams and were still done by 9:30 — without them."
Roth is excited for the rest of the track season. And Hennigan is pumped up following his surprising performance on Thursday night.
"It was a nice start," he said. "I'm very excited. I'm really anxious to get outdoors."

Photographer's Note
I met this beautiful woman in a small village outside Jodhpur.
I was walking around and when we got eye contact she beckoned me over and invited me to her cottage for a cup of chai.
She did not speak any english but in spite of that we had a few cheerful hours.

fantastic focus, fantastic colours and many dynamism on the milk and the fire.
great light too.
one of my favorite image of your collection.
thanks, ciao
mbasil (2129) 2006-02-27 12:22
Nice. It really brings me into the space. But is there any chance of eliminating that distraction in the bottom left? (A crop would be the easiest, but cloning it out would work, too).
don_narayan (2014) 2006-02-27 12:28
Hi Tina. Great shot, the colors are good and the scene is interesting. The outstretched arms of the woman are perfectly multi-tasking. Good crop too. Great work.
AmiBe (6042) 2006-02-27 12:44

naxius (16685) 2006-02-27 15:32
Hello Tina,
Very strong composition with this woman stretched over the photograph..
This is also full of motion with her both activities: the milk in one hand and the other one busy too.
really good.
arnabchat (7233) 2006-02-27 23:40
a very nice shot of the woman making tea. nice apparel, great timing to get the posture perfectly. i like the ornament she wears in her nose, typical of her tribe, maybe. a very beautiful post.

What a beautiful story backed up with this lovely photograph.
She seems to be multi-tasking fluidly...something we can expect of these inspiring women of India.
A touching story and a well composed shot.
Here i love the timing you got this one.
And the framing also outstanding.
Thanks for this warm shot.
Bien (4745) 2006-03-17 3:37
Hi Tina, I return back in time with this shot, but it is so beautiful that I just must comment on it :).
I think you made an excellent choice here with the format as it even strengthens the effect of the outstretched arms of this colourful lady. I like the background wall a lot as it makes stand out the foreground so well. The colours are a true delight here and it's really beautiful how you captured the lady pouring the milk in. Absolutely marvelous image and to me maybe your best shot (although I'm sure that one is still to come! :) Sabine

Hi, Tina!
Excellent shot! I like composition, your crop and natural colors.
Real daily life! Wonderful portrait!

Hola Tina, a very interesting photo of the daily life of this beautiful woman, that is concentrated in making chai. I congratulate you by the capture at the excellent moment at which she overturned the milk from an earthenware vessel to another one, colors and the light.
An affectionate greeting.

A new perspective on the success of public sector worklessness interventions in the UK's most deprived areas
No urban economic assessment is complete without an analysis of worklessness in the most deprived neighbourhoods. In Manchester, as in most other cities, there are many neighbourhoods where worklessness rates are persistently high. However, because the analysis usually done is an anonymous snapshot, it is never possible to know whether this is the result of individuals getting work and moving out to a 'better' area, only to be replaced by a new tranche of the jobless, or whether it is in fact the dynamics of the neighbourhood that militate against a higher rate of employment. This analysis breaks new ground in using real individuals' data on employment transitions and geographical movements, taken from the Department for Work and Pensions' and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs' administrative records. By working through that population's movement into employment and movement out of an area, it sheds new light on neighbourhood level population dynamics. With some caution, the work suggests that the movement out of an area of people who get a job does not seem to be a key factor in the persistence of high worklessness rates in the most deprived areas.

STEWART-L ArchivesArchiver > STEWART > 1997-10 > 0878325364
From: mary stewart kyritsis <>
Subject: Re: Absalom, John, & Richard E. Stewart
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 1997 17:16:04 -0200 (GMT)
Hello again Brent,
Absalom VA 177- s.Ralph/MaryElliott B143,D138,G243-44,246,H4
Charles VA 18-- s.Absal/TabithaClay B143,D138,G247
The definitive article about Absalom is on G246-247, which is a bit vague;
it's interesting that you don't have the son Charles at all, and it's the
only one that is mentioned in any of the articles, usually simply a
notation: 'had son Charles' in the lineup of Ralph Stewart's children.
"Absalom6 Stewart (Ralph5, James4), born about 1771 in Augusta County VA, is
said to have been stolen by the Indians when a boy, taken to Detroit and
held captive for seven years, after which he escaped, or was released, and
made his way to his father's home on New River. This story is almost
parallel to the experience of Ezekiel Clay, whom the savages, after
murdering his brother Bartley and sister Tabitha, took to Chillicothe and
burned at the stake in 1777. Howbeit, the Indians had a habit of catching
white children, and of burning people. Absalom Stewart marr-1 (bond 30 Jul
1793) Susanna Smith, daughter of Isaac Smith, in Montgomery [Giles] County.
Surety on the bond was Isaac Smith, and witnesses were Nimrod Smith and
Mitchell Clay. Susanna probably died, for it appears that Absalom marr-2 by
publication 26 May 1798 Tabitha Clay. She was perhaps a daughter of David
Clay, the inventory of whose estate was returned in the Montgomery County
court in 1792. On 5 May 1800 Absalom Stewart bought of Jesse Willson for
$20 17 acres of land lying 'in the counties of Montgomery and Tazewell,
mostly in Montgomery, on Brush creek [a branch of Bluestone] adjoining John
William Howe's survey.' It will be recalled that Absalom's father Ralph
Stewart, bought a tract of land on Brush Creek of John William Howe in 1799.
A better run-down on Absalom Stewart might be derived by a study of the
records of Tazewell, Giles and Mercer Counties. Among his children, it is
said, was:
Charles, a lawyer, known as Black Fox Charles."

There is however a notation for Johnston Stewart on G158, without any
indication of who his father was. It's part of a short article about
Stewarts in Trigg County:
"Johnson Stewart, born about 1805 in Virginia, marr. in Trigg county 20 Dec
1827 Susan Goode, born in 1806 in Virginia. A list of their children in
1850: Harrison, aged 16; Martha, 15; James, 12; Leroy, 9; Thomas, 5; and
Mitchell, 2. In the family lived also Wilson Stewart Jr., aged 21, who was
probably the Wilson Stewart who marr. 29 Nov 1850 Martha Stewart. Wilson
Stewart, Jr. marr. 5 Mar 1850 Elizabeth Sizemore."
There is also something about the William Stewart who marr. Eleanor Walker,
on D150, again without any indication of his parents:
"William Stuart, born about 1792 in Rockingham County VA, is said by a
descendant (Harry Daniel Stewart of Ceredo, WV) to have lived in early life
in Tazewell County. He was drafted at Barboursville, Cabell county, WV in
Sept 1814 as a soldier in the VA militia, in Capt. Burwell Spurlock's
company, in the war of 1812, and was dischared in Kanawha Falls in March
1815, after the treaty of peace. He was a boatman, 22 year old at
enlistment, and born in Rockingham county, VA, as he stated in his
application for a pension 21 Mar 1871 when 78 years old, a resident of Wayne
county, WV. He marr. 16 Jan 1817 Eleanor Walker at Charles Walker's house.
After his discharge from the army he lived in Greenup county, KY, five
years, and ever since he resided in what is now Wayne County, WV. He was
living near Ceredo in that county aslate as 11 Nov 1878, aged 87, when a
statement by him was attensted by H.D. Stuart and John L. Mills. His widow
Eleanor Steward wrote a letter to the pension bureau 26 Oct 1880, from
Spring Hill, Kanawha County. children, as given by Harry D. Stewart, a
great-grandson, of Ceredo:
William, settled in KY
Betty Martha
Charles, settled in KY
James, settled in KY
Harry Daniel, m. Martha Belle Hull
>John Stewart (son of Alexander Stewart and Dorothy McGee) b. Feb 28,
>1789 and married Polly Gilbert (dau. of Isaac Gilbert) October 25, 1809
>in Madison Co., KY. What were the names of their children and where
>did they go?
John Stewart is on D318:
"John Stewart marr. 25 Oct 1809 Polly Gilbert in Madison County, the rite
being performed by Jesse Thomas. Their marriage bond was signed 24 Oct with
Arthur Kennedy as fellow bondsman. Isaac Gilbert, father of the bride, gave
his consent attested by Arthur Kennedy and Aquilla Gilbert. Incidentally,
Aquilla Gilbert marr. 1 Apr 1810 Jane Stewart [E206], and Samuel Gilbert had
marr. in 1807 Jane, daughter of James Dinwiddie. Isaac Gilbert made his
will 14 Mar 1827, and it was proved 2 April that year; he made bequests to
James Kennedy and Hannah Thomas; to his daughter Elizabeth Hiatt; to his
daughter Polly Stewart (whom he gave a negro boy named Nathan and a negro
girl named Sally); to his eldest son Solomon Gilbert; to Acquilla Gilbert's
children; to Polly Stewart's children; to Hannah Thomas's children and to
Elizabeth Hiatt's children." Oh, how frustrating. Nothing else.
>Finally we have a Richard E. Stewart who married Polly Woosly March 11,
>1807 in Warren Co., KY. Like to find anything on this couple.
And of course nothing at all on this couple.
Sorry not to be of more help.

At a seminar that I attended recently, the discussion turned to, what else, but the new consumer and how she has changed. But the consumer has always been an evolving species, so what's new?
In my view, what differentiates this customer, who belongs to the most connected and socially engaged generation in the history of mankind, is her ability to influence. Not just the actions of people within and outside her circle, but that of industry, of nations,
indeed the globe. We're seeing obvious signs of this influence in a new brand of commerce that is mobile, "micro" and inclusive, and which like its consumer, is less about the individual transaction and more about universal engagement. Let's look at each in
As 5 billion people use their mobile devices in their daily lives to connect instantly or download on demand, they're bringing the same expectations to all other consumption. Hence, in the new mobilized commerce, everything – from capital and information to
people and goods – needs to be more accessible. By enabling anytime anywhere connectivity between the people, information and resources of an organization, enterprise mobility is helping businesses become more productive and efficient. At the same time, mobile
commerce and transaction technologies have broken down barriers of time and distance such that consumers can do so much – whether it is make a purchase or deposit a check – from virtually anywhere, at any time.
Small is the new beautiful. The smarter new consumer believes in doing more with less, especially when she consumes. She's forcing businesses to rethink size to maximize value for her money. So, it's a song instead of an album, and prepaid airtime instead
of an annual plan. But the consumer isn't the only one to benefit. Highly successful businesses have been built on the massive transaction volumes ushered in by micro commerce, which has also given rise to innovative delivery channels like Internet, mobile,
IPTV and social networks; new delivery models designed for "pay per use" or small units of consumption; and alternative payment systems from the likes of PayPal and Zopa.
For years, businesses couldn't tap the enormous market at the bottom of the pyramid and also small mainstream niches because it wasn't feasible to do so.
Well, not any more. A strong partner eco-system, seamless integration and a secure transaction environment have together ushered in a new commerce, which recognizes every consumer's right to be included and served. Once again, the new consumer plays a pivotal
role – hitherto unknown – as a participant in the supply ecosystem by co-creating with its other members and providing valuable feedback over online and social media. Mobile technology is the lynchpin of inclusive commerce, not only making it possible for
a consumer in the remotest of locations to transact, but do so securely.

i have a custody hearing over my two children coming up with my ex-wife. I am not hopeful for the outcome, but I am asking for prayer for the Lord's strength and his help in the outcome of this.
i have a hearing on November 28th over custody of my two children with my ex-wife. I am not hopeful, but I am asking for prayer for the Lord's strength and his help in the outcome of this.
I will pray for you. Everything will be fine, just trust in the Lord.
Christ is real. Thank you.
Praying and standing with you. The LORD is with you and will uphold you no matter the outcome. The pain however we cannot escape. But HE can and will hold you, uphold you, carry you through, see you through, redeem and transform this into something more wonderful than you can imagine! For the JOY set before HIM...(for what He saw in the future that was to come with us) He endured the cross. He has the scars still...although they pain Him no more. Because He has seen what WILL BE in your future as well...Trust God as Sovereign. What WILL BE is beyond this present cross as you follow HIM and is Glorious. Trust with all of your heart. Love in Christ. Pain has been my constant companion on this journey and my scars are many.. that is why I speak this way.. not as one who does not understand. Just keep your eyes FIXED on HIM.. He'll give you grace and beauty for ashes.
You have no idea the strength and hope I draw from your encouragement. Christ is real because He lives in His people. You are an embodiment of His love. God bless you.
