Bike Forum
Who else had a good ride today?
Good road ride today, 50mi and a trip to the hospital for one of the guys we were riding with.
Got epic cyclists tan too. BTW, when i say tan, i mean sunburn! Talk about crisp lines!
Yep, explored around Ladybower (blue heckler). Done the classic loop a few times, but wanted to check out a few of the lesser known (to me) trails. Great fun.
Yep, really good, and better than I was expecting too... 2 laps of Comrie croft doubling back to do the optional descent on the red. Bloomin lovely- short but sweet and a lot going on in the descents.
No idea why we don't hear more about this place, it's short but it's an absolute gem. Nettles notwithstanding!
Ace today. Dry(ish) trails, took a beginner round some fairly hard stuff and they loved it, helped a random guy find his lost glasses.
Yup, tried track riding for the first time today. Awesome! So want a track bike and a fixie now. Scorching day here so glad edinburgh has an outdoor track
Yup, was out on the road with the North Road Club. A very satisfying 50 miler - and quite by chance I met Plumber off of here!
Of course, 22 miles in the Surrey Hills
Yep good ride lap of Ae red not everyone's favourite but hammer the right places lots of fun, loved it.
40 miles road bike, back by 10am off to Birmingham Jazz festival on train, sat by the bandstand on the canal, 4 jugs of Pimms and several shorts later i'm home.
Fish finger sandwiches all round, Gypsy Jazz rocks!
Did a good 38 miler over Harting down and Cocking on the new bike brambles in full effect but trails nice and dry
Yep another perfect saturday, 75 miles club road ride at an average of 17.2 mph.
At the moment the Magners is going down without touching the sides.
Had most of the day up Cannock chase. Had to be one of the best days we've had in yolks.
Covered the off piste stuff we hadnt done for ages plus newly found stuff.
Cannock has so much extra to offer if you explore :-))
Had my first off-road ride after surgery today, just a short blast round local trails, with a pint in the middle (Queens Head in Watnall, great boozer).
Hand stood up fine, so off to do some more tomorrow
been riding ergo good ride
not today had a pretty awesome ride yesterday tho, toughest one of the year too.
Kentmere, up dubbs/garburn road, high street, the ullswater classic loop, back upto high street, garburn pass into kentmere. Cracker.
Doesn't matter how good the previous days ride was when I wake up on a day like today with absolutley toasted legs I always think "damn I'm not going to be able to ride today"
Had a quality ride round Ladybower this morning. Conditions were perfect.
Blummin fooked knee.... grumble grumble
Road century in the Southern uplands for me, superb roads and weather today
Took my new 29er out round the local twisty trails for its second outing - the first being a southdowns xc bimble last Sunday - it is proving to be a really nice ride and, when I get used to it more, I'm going to be faster than before.
So yes, I had a good ride.
Had a truly cracking ride on the Isle of Arran in blazing sunshine. Did a route the Arran Bike Club website listed as severe. It wasn't severe but it was 25 miles of really lovely riding and not so many midges, even under the pines!
35 mile-ish loop round sunny Herts, English countryside looking lovely. High point was the landlord at the pub stop telling me how he told a bunch from Camra who started getting pretentious to f*** off and not come back. Apparently there's a regular posse of elderly roadies who roll up in the evening, get very well lathered and wobble off back home in the early hours.
Started badly with a blowout from a lump of glass embedded in the tyre, outer hung together for the rest of the ride, but think I need a new one. Pucking fikey bastards dumping old mirrors in bridleways, didn't see what it was till too late.
Just got in from a Malverns ride - new SID fork on the bike and two prototype lights off of Troutie being tested for the first time. Niiiice!
Did the Inners uplift on my wee enduro today. Got 9 runs in and all were ace fun.
Speaking in Inners - I got 3 1/2 rounds of the xc in after work. Dont ask about the half - bloody glasses!
Anyways - everything was dusty as Planet Mars. What a great evening out!
Perfect ride today, from Thoralby in Wensleydale, West Burton, over to Coverdale & Starbotton then BW from Buckden & over Hell Gap (aptly named but cleaned it) back to Thoralby. 3 of us, never saw another mtb'er in the 25 mile ride.
Had a great ride cheers! 52miles of downland, woodland and singletrack, dusty, smile inducing bliss
Read All About It On My Blog HERE!
First proper ride after a long lay off with an injury (separated shoulder - very painful!)
no, sorry. I dont really get to ride my bike - especially at weekends. *sigh*
went round mabie yesterday, plus 8 miles there and back and a wee bit of cycling when i got back to glasgow, glorious day for it, 25 miles all in, which was enough considering the heat.
Yes, probably the best of the year.
Just a nice jaunt around Rivington on the "new" Enduro. It was its first ride with me and I needed to set thing up how I like them so lots of stop start stuff, playing with shock pressures, seat position as well as bedding in new pads.
A huge success and just in time too as its coming to the Alps with me this Friday!
Had a great ride Saturday, Started at Rushup Edge and went ovet to Ladybower via Greenlands, Jaggers Clough, Roman Road and Hagg Farm. Had a chill and came back over WLT, up the Beast and back into Hope, then Broken Road and Rushup Edge back to the car.
Decided I'd chance Parkin Clough, started at the point where it crosses the track which leads from the Dam at Ladybower, Does it start higher up as it seemed shorter than on a couple of the vids I've seem??
Good to see you're riding again OAP. Doesn't seem like anyone had a bad ride yesterday, that's a first. Rain forecast on tuesday evening people, make the most of this weather!
quick 35 mile road ride for me today, short but fast.
Rob, how do you get your data into the getmapping thingy?
Did my first bit of mincing of the year this morning
only did 12 miles on a mix of singletrack/quarry/road as my fitness doesnt allow for much more just yet
Usually do freeridey/Dh/Jumpy stuff so felt all the more strange....whats the deal with pedalling????
Strangely addictive

While the 2010 VMA's didn't bring as much drama as the proceeding year, there were a few moments that had everyone talking.
In all honesty, my Twitter time line kept me more entertained than the actual show, so it was actually difficult to gather at least 5 major highlights, but the lowlights were rather easy.
The Highlights
B.o.B. And Hayley Williams – I really like B.o.B as an artist, but I was more interested in hearing Haley sing the chorus of "Airplanes." After Keisha Cole performed this on the 2010 BET Awards, my love for this song came crashing down. Pun intended. While Haley didn't go overboard with her vocals, she clearly showed that she is talented.
Justin Bieber – While I have never proclaimed to be a Justin Bieber fan, I must admit, he put on a great show. Performing on a stage outside of the Nokia Theater, he was joined on by a sleuth of background dancers that reminded me of an ABDC episode. Not only was his performance great, but I was glad he won the Best New Artist award.
Lady Gaga – Her wardrobe changes weren't as dramatic as last year, but her outfits definitely make her stand out in any crowd. Her first outfit designed by Alexander McQueen, paid homage to one of the most talented and creative designers ever. She was also the big winner of the night, receiving eight awards including the coveted Video of The Year Award for "Bad Romance."
Kanye West – Although he closed the VMAs, the real show began when the musical genius, Kanye, stepped on stage. All night I kept guessing what he would be performing, but like always, he never ceases to amaze his fans. Singing "Let's give it up for the d-bags, Let's give it up for the a**holes," he ignited many opinions from viewers. Many people applauded his performance by changing Facebook and Blackberry Messenger statuses and sending tweets of his lyrics. Of course there are the people that miss the point and creativity and automatically deem his actions as ignorant. To those people, I say, stop judging and start toasting.
The Lowlights
Chelsea Handler – I think Chelsea is quite hilarious on her show, but she disappointed me on the VMA's. I didn't think anyone could be worse than the 2009 VMA host, Russell Brand, but they were neck and neck for the Cheesiest Punch Lines award. Most of her acts went terribly wrong, but I did have a moment of laughter when she got in the Jacuzzi with the cast of Jersey Shore and got out pregnant.
Eminem and Rihanna – What a depressing way to open the awards show. I guess they only allowed him to go first because he had to fly to NYC before the show was over. While I was pleasantly surprised to see Rihanna appear on stage during "Love the Way you Lie," I'm not sure she helped his overall performance. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the opening I was expecting.
Usher – Hmmm… Usher's performance was mediocre. In the words of one of my Twitter followers, "The lighting effects on the stage were more exciting than his actual performance." I think it's obvious that Usher is getting "up there" in age, as he seemed rather out of breath during the entire performance. I give his dancing an A and his singing, or lack thereof, a STRONG C-.
Taylor Swift – Preluded with footage of Kanye interrupting her award acceptance in 2009, the mildly talented Taylor performed a song entitled "Innocent" for the first time. This pitchy and lifeless performance included the lines, "Who you are is not what you did. 32 is still growing up now … you're still an innocent." She also sang, "Everyone of us has messed up, too. I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new." I hope she gets over it.

And here is my proof, using her words...
"... the very second I saw him I felt a connection with him... immediately I knew that he would be my Prince Charming"
"Sean's my soulmate, he's the one."
When she is sent packing, she says in the limo, "I feel really heavy in my heart," which shows me she was heartbroken but not mad.
However, by the time she gets to the WTA, this girl has got an agenda!
"I'm a very reserved person and I have never dove in to anything in my life like that... I fell in love."
"... I believed I was walking away with him..."
Chris asks, "Are you still in love with him?" And the other AshLee comes out, "No, I reeled in my feelings."
"When i started to watch and see how he was with the other woman I thought to myself, hmmm, this guy is not who I thought he was.."
"... with me he was just a souther gentleman... but with the other girls, hate me for this, but he kind of acted like a frat boy."
So, she asks Chris (speaking of Sean), "Why not step up a little bit?"
Then Sean comes out, and AshLee attempts to destroy what he apparently has now with one of the other girls.
Pure spite. And frankly, quite sad.

Torino hang on for a 3-2 win over Siena; Cagliari edge Genoa; Fiorentina fall at Udinese
Torino 3 – Siena 2 (Serie A, January 13, 2013) Matteo Brighi fired Torino in front, before Reginaldo tied the match with a 32nd minute header. Parity was short-lived as Rolando Bianchi restored Torino's lead with a 38th minute header. Siena were starring down the barrel at the break as Alessio Cerci raced away on the stroke of halftime to claim a great third, but the visitors hit back 15 minutes from time when Michele Paolucci scored. Alessandro Rosina missed a last minute penalty for Siena.
Cagliari 2 – Genoa 1 (Serie A, January 13, 2013) Eros Pisano had put the Grifoni ahead before strikes from Marco Sau and Daniele Conti ensured Ivo Pulga's men won all the points.
Udinese 3 – Fiorentina 1 (Serie A, January 13, 2013) A Zeljko Brkic own goal had handed the away side the lead until Antonio Di Natale levelled from the spot just before the break. Di Natale added to his tally in the second half and a goal from Luis Muriel completed the comeback.

Bangkok Flood Latest News: 400 Dead; Saturday's Peak Tide to Destroy City's Defenses
Thailand's worst floods in 60 years are set to bring Bangkok's flood defenses to a breaking point Saturday as coastal high tides are set to reach their peak.
A crest is expected in the high tides Saturday morning meaning that Bangkok's Chao Phraya river could extensively flood the city. Until now the river has only lightly flooded the neighboring streets, but Saturday could see a much more drastic flood hit the city.
Residents of Bangkok are desperately trying to prepare for the peak tides. Most residents have made their way to beach resorts that haven't been impacted by the floods. However, some of the remaining residents are facing a water shortage.
According to a spokeswoman for Save the Children: "We are hearing disturbing reports of dangerous animals such as snakes and crocodiles appearing in the floodwaters and every day we see children playing in the water, bathing or wading through it trying to make their way to dry ground."
One store has sold more than 3,000 boats in the last week, and many residents in the suburbs of Bangkok have reported that they are only able to access their homes by boat now.
Floodwalls protecting inner-city Bangkok are 2.5 meters high. However, Saturday's peak tides are expected to be 2.6 meters; giving the potential for devastating flooding throughout the city.
Three months of monsoons have resulted in the worst flooding in Thailand in 60 years.
The water has been coming in from the Gulf of Thailand over the past few weeks and has submerged a third of the country.
The tides have killed almost 400 people and displaced more than 100,000, according to AP.

Nevada Wildfires 2013 Update: Bison Fire Sparks State of Emergency (VIDEO, MAP)
Nevada wildfires continue to wreak havoc across the region, and in particular the Bison Fire has caused extensive damage and has now resulted in officials declaring a state of emergency.
The Bison Fire broke out on July 4 following what is thought to have been a lightning strike about five miles east of Gardnerville, along the western slope of the Pinenut Mountain Range in Douglas County. Over the past week the fires has continued to burn out of control, and by Tuesday July 9, the fire had consumed more than 25,000 acres.
Official have confirmed that the wildfire is about 25 percent contained, but it may not be until Sunday before full containment is achieved.
Although the fire has continued to increase in size on Tuesday morning, firefighters have reported significant progress in getting the fire under control.
The Bison Fire has been made worse through timber including pinyon and juniper in the area. In addition, high winds and limited humidity have made matters worse, and on Monday alone the fire nearly doubled in size from Sunday.
Fire Information Officer Dorothy Harvey said, "There is no comparison [to recent fires in this area]. The winds have been erratic. The fire has been erratic ... usually fires [in this area] last two or three days. This one keeps growing."
It has been reported that more than 700 firefighters have been drafted into the area to fight the Bison wildfire, and additional crews have been making their way into the region.
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners has declared a State of Emergency for the Bison Fire, which will allow the County to request additional State resources and assistance.
Federal assistance may also be made available should the Governor deem a State of Emergency for the State of Nevada.
Here is video footage of the Bison Fire causing havoc and destruction in Nevada:

Another reason not to forgo the flu vaccine while pregnant: A new study found that women who catch the flu during pregnancy may raise her baby's risk for developing bipolar disorder later in life.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by intense mood swings, ranging from depression to manic symptoms such as over-activity and loss of inhibitions. The symptoms can last for months. The disease is usually diagnosed in the late teens and 20s.
The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, showed that having the flu in pregnancy made bipolar disorder in children four times more likely.
Researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City identified a link between the condition and experiences in the womb.
They analyzed data on treated maternal influenza from the Child Health and Development Study — a population-based cohort. Among those born from January 1, 1959 to December 31, 1966, they found bipolar disorder was nearly four times as common in people whose mothers caught flu during pregnancy.
This suggests influenza may be a risk factor for bipolar disorder.
The condition affects about one in 100 people. Lead researcher, Alan Brown, M.D., of Columbia University in New York City estimates that influenza infection during pregnancy could lead to a three to four percent chance of bipolar disorder in offspring.
However, as reported by BBC News, in the vast majority of cases of bipolar disorder there is no history of flu. That means the overall risk remains low, but the new study echoes similar findings linking flu and schizophrenia.
Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the results. In the meantime, the experts assured risks were small and women should not worry.
"The chances are still quite small. I don't think it should raise alarms for mothers," said Brown.
However, he did say that seasonal flu vaccination, which is advised for pregnant women in the U.S. and many other countries, would reduce the chance of catching the flu in pregnancy.

A while ago I helped make a light that lit up when a near Earth asteroid went past our planet. Because I built it at a 24 hour hack day, I only had a little bit of time and there was a lot of 'crafting' involved (read: hot glue and plastic cups). Unfortunately I never really worked it into a finished product. This was partly because I noticed how rarely an asteroid actually buzzes the Earth close enough to be interesting. It got me thinking though, what else might I want to know about, and that happens often enough to be interesting?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a marvel of current technology and humanity. It's a continuously inhabited orbital outpost, floating in space just over our heads. But often we forget it's there. I realized that the light I made for asteroids would work better for the space station.

One thing that Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 brings to the table is a facelift with crisper visuals and a much smoother feeling experience all around. While the series has been cel-shaded from the beginning, there is a noticeable increase in quality this time around that has been needed since the game made the jump to the Wii three titles back.
One area that has never suffered in a Naruto title is the audio, and this latest Clash of Ninja Revolution title is no different as the voice-actors take on their various roles again and not only lend their talents for in-fight grunts and shouts, but also for fully animated cut scenes that set up each of the fights in Story Mode.

BRENTWOOD — City leaders will continue to explore a potential daytime curfew ordinance to keep Brentwood youth from defacing property and harassing residents when the majority of students are attending school.
"There are certain students and student groups that, while most other students are at school, only attend school one hour per day or one hour per week," said Brentwood Vice Mayor Joel Bryant. "For the rest of that time, they congregate around our city."
At Tuesday night's Brentwood City Council meeting, Councilman Erick Stonebarger agreed and noted that many of these students loiter near Burger King and Wells Fargo Bank on Second Street between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. during the week. City officials noted that these youth are causing problems for local residents and businesses by defacing property and harassing or intimidating citizens.
"I think it is a good start," Stonebarger said of a possible future ordinance. "With society these days, we become the baby sitter and parent. We need to act on that type of mischief, if the parents aren't willing to accept their responsibilities."
A daytime curfew could give the Brentwood Police Department another tool to curtail these daytime activities by teens and protect our community, according to Bryant.
"Like kids do, they get into mischief. Some of it is child's play and some of it is not. Some of it is very serious mischief," Bryant said. "Currently, we don't have the ability for our police officers to rely on an ordinance that deals with this specific demographic of people."
A subcommittee of the council will further study this issue and examine other cities that have a similar ordinance in place. The superintendents of area school districts will be invited to participate in the discussion of this ordinance.
"I want the schools involved because these are the school's kids," Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor said.

Kenyon mourns the death of community icon
Longtime mayor, author and cherished Kenyon community member John Cole died Thursday night of a massive heart attack, family members said. He was 81 years old.
Cole served in Kenyon city government for 16 years as both a City Council member and three-time mayor. He also was an officer for the Veteran of Foreign Wars, involved with Goodhue County American Red Cross and served on the Goodhue County Historical Society board.
"Kenyon just won't ever be the same," said Lois Estrem, who knew Cole for more than 40 years and worked with him at the Kenyon Historical Society. "He was just so well-loved and knowledgeable. It was an honor to have worked with him."
Described as an avid history buff, Cole collected postcards from Minnesota towns for nearly 40 years. His collection culminated into "Greetings from Kenyon, Minn. -- A Post Card History of Kenyon," one of Cole's three published books.
"If anyone had a question, we all went to John," Estrem said.
Beyond his passion for history, friends and family said Cole will be remembered for his kindness and cheerful disposition.
"John was probably the fairest man I've ever known," son-in-law Chuck Clarke said. "He took me into the family like one of his own. He was just a joy to be around."
Estrem relayed a story from a few years ago when her daughter and Cole's son were hospitalized at the same time. When her daughter died, Estrem said the family decided to have the funeral at Kenyon's historic Gunderson House. After Cole got word of this, and with his son still in the hospital, he went to make sure the steps and sidewalks of the house were shoveled for the service.
"I'll always remember that," Estrem said.
The Kenyon Leader broke the news of Cole's death Friday morning on its Facebook page. "He has been a friend and mentor to me about everything Kenyon, and I will miss him greatly," posted Editor and Publisher Terri Washburn a little before noon Friday.
Users began posting their condolences within minutes of the announcement.
Cole had a history of heart problems, suffering a heart attack in 1999 the day before he was to accept the Citizen of the Year Award from the Goodhue County Editorial Association.
He was a lifelong Kenyon resident, leaving only to serve in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Calvert. Cole later would go on to publish and compile the Calversion, a biannual newsletter for veterans who served on the ship. He published 66 volumes of the newsletter starting in the 1970s until his death.
Cole's wife, Lila, resides in Kenyon. They have three daughters, Lyn, Wendy and Sherry, and seven grandchildren. Cole was preceded in death by his son, Dean.
Michaelson Funeral Home in Kenyon will be handling arrangements.

Art row heads for courts
The exhibition opens in Brooklyn on Saturday
A New York gallery planning to stage a controversial exhibition of British art is taking legal action to stop the city's mayor blocking the show.
The show, due to open on Saturday, features a picture by Chris Ofili, which uses elephant dung and pornographic images in a depiction of the Virgin Mary.
Mayor Giuliani - a Roman Catholic - has said he will carry out his threat to cut the museum's $7m city subsidy on Wednesday morning because of the gallery's determination to proceed with the show.
Brooklyn Museum's directors said they were seeking an injunction to protect the exhibition and to defend the right of every public institution to disseminate information freely.
City lawyers will also be going to court to seek an eviction order against the museum.
The New York Civil Liberties Union is planning a rally to back the exhibition, while conservative Republicans are planning one against it.
Deal collapses
The legal action came after compromise talks broke down.
But Mayor Giuliani said the agreement collapsed when members of the museum board and staff "got real upset" about the negotiations, and what they saw as a potential threat to the museum's artistic freedom.
The exhibition also contains controversial works from Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman and other young British artists. It includes dead animals and a sculpture made from frozen blood.
However, the mayor took particular offence at Mr Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary, describing it as "blasphemous".
The author of the work - a churchgoing Catholic and former altar boy - said the elephant dung was a cultural reference to his African heritage.
Mr Ofili told the UK's Times newspaper: "I don't feel as though I have to defend it. The people who are attacking this painting are attacking their own interpretation, not mine."
The picture depicts Mary with dark skin, African features and flowing robes.
Political row
Mrs Clinton said that while she would boycott the art show, the museum should not be condemned for staging it.
Mr Giuliani hit back, accusing the first lady of supporting the use of public money "to attack and bash the Catholic religion".
Mrs Clinton and Mr Giuliani are expected to stand as rivals for the US Senate in New York.
Art experts have expressed fears that the row will damage New York's reputation as a centre of contemporary art.
The show drew record crowds when it opened in London two years ago, and it has also travelled to Berlin.

vmware looking for c header files for kernel
Hello, I am new to debian and am attempting to install vmware inside my debian install. I have kernel 2.6.9 and vmware is asking for the location of my C header files for my kernel [/lusr/src/linux/include] I do not have this location so I am assuming to do not have the kernel source installed. What is the best way to install just ther kernel source (if this is what I need to do)? Could they be in a different location? Thanks
I am now trying to use apt-get to get the kernel source. But there is no kernel 2.6.9 When I do a uname -an i get the following
linux 2.6.9
also I am using the auditor tool kit install of debian (if that matters).
Any ideas which kernel to select?
you need to download the kernel source, unpack it and do
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.x /usr/src/linux and it should work.
But you can also just do it with the kernel-headers...
Good luck!
Do you have a symlink /usr/src/linux pointing to your kernel source ?
# apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`

I'm very excited to share this lovely Rockway Vineyards styled shoot by Kurtz Orpia, a talented film photographer from Canada! And yes, I have different level of respect for film photographer and love collaborating with them. I mean, the weather was actually very cloudy but it looks magical on film!
For this styled shoot, I decided to do an aubergine envelope with gold addressing and a simple invitation on Silk and Willow's handmade paper (my personal favorite thus far), a wine color Silk and Willow's silk ribbon, and secured the delicate ribbon with gold Fleur-de-Lis wax seal! I kept the rest of suite just as simple tom complement the main invitation. And of course, I cannot forgot those gorgeous vintage stamps to complete the look
I absolutely love the table setting Kurtz and Kalin from Bloom and Company come up with! I'm so glad that I FINALLY have some excellent photos for the table sign made out of reclaimed wood. The ever so sweet Mike from Granada Millwork personally help me to get a long 2x6 party ready!! And I just love how the simple gold menu complement the table setting perfectly!
Enough with me blabbering again, please enjoy our labor of love and help me spread the words!

HierMenus CENTRAL: HierMenus In Progress. HierMenus 5.0 Release Notes (2/7)
[previous] [next]
HierMenus 5.0: New Parameters
For single window (i.e., no frames) sites, setting up HM5 is nearly identical to the setup process for HierMenus version 4. All of the global, page specific, and array specific variables supported in HM4 continue to be supported in HM5, and full setup instructions for HM5 can be found here. A pair of new parameters in the HM_Loader.js file, however, will need to be configured for all HM5 implementations.
HM_ScriptDir and HM_GL/PG_ImageDir
One of our frequently asked questions for HM4 involves the placement of the HM scripts and images on the Web site. Specifically, many users are confused by the loading of the scripts and mistakenly think that the scripts must be duplicated and placed into every directory of the site in order to work properly. You can house the HM scripts in a single directory of your site; and in fact, this is the scenario that we strongly recommend. We've previously addressed this concern in FAQ entry #5; which describes the necessary modifications to the HM_Loader.js file to allow the storage of your scripts in a centralized directory.
With HM5 we've made this process even simpler, via the addition of two new parameters in the HM_Loader.js file: HM_ScriptDir and HM_GL/PG_ImageDir.
- Description:
- Identifies the location on the server where the HM Scripts (HM_ScriptDOM.js, HM_ScriptIE4.js, and HM_ScriptNS4.js) can be found. Though not strictly necessary, HM_Loader.js is usually located here, as well.
- Value:
- String, or JS expression resulting in a string, indicating the absolute or relative URL of the script directory ending in a slash. Can be an empty string ("") in which case the scripts must physically be duplicated into every directory of the site that contains a page or pages that will load the scripts (not recommended).
- Comments:
- This is a required parameter; it must exist in the HM_Loader.js file (even if it is empty).
When a URL is actually specified by this parameter, then it must always end in a slash (/).
Note that HM_ScriptDir is not a global or page specific parameter, it may be set only as described here and there are no "page specific" overrides for it.
- Examples:
- The scripts are located in the directory the HTML page that uses them is currently in (not recommended):
HM_ScriptDir="";The scripts are located in a single central directory of the WebRef server:
HM_ScriptDir="http://webref.com/HMScripts/";The scripts are located in the server's top level HMScripts directory (regardless of the domain name used to access the site):
- Default:
- None. As noted above, HM_ScriptDir must be present in the HM_Loader File.
HM_GL_ImageDir and HM_PG_ImageDir
- Description:
- Identifies the location on the server where the HM Images ("more" images indicating that a child menu is present, and top and bottom scroll bar images) can be found.
- Value:
- String, or JS expression resulting in a string, indicating the absolute or relative URL of the image directory ending in a slash.
- Comments:
- This parameter can be applied as a global (HM_GL_ImageDir, set in HM_Loader.js) or a page specific (HM_PG_ImageDir) parameter. Like HM_ScriptDir, the pathname used in this parameter must end in a slash (/).
This directory will be prepended to the actual image names themselves.
- Examples:
- The images are located in a single central directory of the WebRef server:
HM_GL_ImageDir="http://webref.com/HMImages/";The images are located in the server's top level HMImages directory (regardless of the domain name used to access the site):
HM_GL_ImageDir="/HMImages/";The images are located in the same directory as HM_ScriptDir:
HM_ScriptDir="/HMScripts/"; HM_GL_ImageDir=HM_ScriptDir;
- Default:
- The same directory specified in HM_ScriptDir
Now let's have a look at the new parameters specifically for cross-frames implementations.

xorg hanging for no apparent reason [solved]
I'm having a strange problem with xorg (probably) that I'm having a hard time to resolve.
xorg sometimes just hangs! Only the mouse keeps working. If I ssh from another machine, I can log in and all seems working just fine. I tried to kill X but it just ignores me. There's no relevant info in the log files.
I know it will be dificult for someone to help me with so short info. Somedays it doesn't hang at all, somedays it hangs like 5 times in 12 hours. I only hope that this is a known bug and someone has a solution for this. Or some clues on how to debug this.
can you use ctrl+alt+f6 to put it into console mode? what do you do when it hangs to regain control? if you are restarting, it could be easier to ssh from the other machine and type 'init 3' then return to your computer and use init 4 to get X up again.
If I only could reproduce it... :(
I suspected it was a problem related to ACPI. So I added pci=noacpi to kernel. Still testing but haven't had any hang since. 2 days have passed.
Ok. I'm gonna accept this problem as solved. Been some days without a single problem. :D
nice move - what made you suspect it?
"If you have any problems with this try pci=noaci or acpi=off"

Recycling at Home
- Recycling saves energy, water and valuable resources such as trees and metal. Recycling also reduces pollution, conserves landfill space and creates industry and jobs.
Did you know glass can be recycled forever? It never wears out! Using recycled aluminum to make a can again cuts air pollution by 95%. What about plastic bottles? Well, half of all the polyester carpet made in the US is made from recycled plastic bottles. In fact, many of the products we use everyday are, or can, be made out of recycled materials: paper, pencils, shoes, clothes, bags, plastics - the possibilities are endless!
Think recycling takes too much time?
Well, compared to the length of time it takes for waste to decompose in a landfill - aluminum cans: 100 years, plastic bottles: 700 years, ink and toner cartridges: 1,000 years, glass bottles: 1,000,000 years - recycling only takes a blink of an eye!
Recycle more, trash less. Here's how:
Make recycling at home convenient: Locate recycling bins around your house or apartment. You may only have one blue bin, but you can put a cardboard box in your office, kitchen, garage, etc. and empty everything into the bin on recycling day.
Always put these items in the bin:• Cardboard boxes (flattened)
• Mixed papers (office paper, junk mail, cereal boxes, phone books, etc.)
• #1 and #2 plastic bottles with necks or spouts
• Glass bottles
• Steel, tin and aluminum cans
The following items can never be recycled in the blue bin:• Plastic bags and wraps - Visit abagslife.com to find the nearest recycling location
• Yard waste - Check your locality's yard waste collection schedule and requirements
• Household hazardous waste (HHW) - Aerosol cans, paint cans, motor oil, etc. must be taken to a HHW facility or collection event. Check this resource to find your locality's information.

Football Expert & Columnist
Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace: Jamie Redknapp praises 'big win'
Late winner could set Gunners up for title push, says Sky Sports expert
Last Updated: 18/08/14 11:47am
Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Carragher agreed that Arsenal's opening-day win over Crystal Palace could turn out to be a defining result in their season.
Arsene Wenger's side appeared to be heading for first-day frustration as they were locked 1-1 with their London neighbours going into the closing stages of the game, only for Aaron Ramsey to strike in injury time to secure all three points.
And speaking on Saturday Night Football, Sky Sports pundit Redknapp said Arsenal weren't on top of their game, but can now build confidence and potentially launch a title push this season.
"I said before the game that if Ramsey can chip in with little goals like that, scruffy goals or "Lampard goals" as I call them then it could make all the difference for them," he said.
"If he can get 15 or 20 goals for them again this season, then he'll be such an important player for them.
"Arsenal weren't at their best, let's not kid ourselves, but it's such a big result. This time last year they lost 3-1 to Aston Villa and there was a lot of doom and gloom. These results, when you're not at your best and pick up three points are so important for momentum.
"Goals are something Aaron Ramsey has added to his game. That's confidence. When things are going your way you become like a magnet in the box. Every time the ball bounces he's the person that it falls to.
"Two years ago that would probably have bounced to someone else, but he's playing with confidence now and those goals are going to be all important this year.
"I know there's a lot of doubts about Arsenal, but if they can keep him fit and with people like Giroud and Ozil to come in and maybe one or two players before the window closes, then why can't they mount a challenge?"
The Arsenal players celebrated vehemently at the end of the game after overcoming a Palace side that parted company with Tony Pulis this week and had Jason Puncheon sent off in the final 10 minutes.
But even though the performance was unimpressive, Carragher said the manner of the victory could provide a springboard for Arsenal's season.
"When you win like that, late on in a game, it feels like so much more than if you'd won 3-0," he said.
"You saw some of the reactions of the players at the end of the game like Laurent Koscielny, Calum Chambers and Aaron Ramsey, I thought it was the last game of the season and they were doing a lap of honour!
"That's what it feels like sometimes when you win a game late. They'll realise how important that game is."

MUCH HAS BEEN made of the central conceit of Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles, and for good reason: It's the best sort of science fiction, the kind in which a single impossibility becomes possible, irrevocably changing the world as we know it. Walker's twist, subtle at first and increasingly consequential, is that Earth's rotation has inexplicably begun to slow. Days and nights are lengthening, first by minutes and then hours. Crops suffer. The earth's magnetic field withers. Birds fall from the sky. The government institutes a policy of "clock time"—24-hour days maintained without regard to when the sun rises or sets, meaning that, as days and nights grow longer, entire waking periods are spent in darkness, and entire nights ("white nights") pass in bright, skin-scorching sunlight. It's an ingenious premise, one that encompasses enough of our contemporary anxieties—climate change, food shortages, environmental devastation—to seem familiar, yet is improbable enough to retain a quality of mystery. The slowing Walker envisions isn't quite a metaphor, but it's not quite reality, either—it's a fiction, one that works because of the ways in which it's like life, and the ways that it isn't.
But The Age of Miracles is equally notable for the protagonist Walker has created to witness this world: 11-year-old Julia, the only child of two loving parents, a girl subject to the whims and cruelties of other sixth graders as surely as the planet suffers from the changing of the earth's rotation. Her mother hoards peanut butter and her father works long shifts at the hospital; Julia pines for the attention of a floppy-haired skateboarder, and tries not to wonder why her best friend has abandoned her. With Julia, Walker has pinpointed the exact moment when a girl looks like a child, but is beginning to think like an adult, and she renders the perspective with grace and understanding.
The Age of Miracles is squarely in the Ray Bradbury tradition of science fiction that looks forward and backward at the same time; it posses the golden-hued nostalgia of Dandelion Wine, and the gentle fatalism of "The Last Night of the World," in which a couple goes quietly to bed, knowing they won't wake up. (Walker acknowledges her debt to Bradbury with an explicit reference to his story "All Summer in a Day," which imagines a world in which the sun shines for only two hours every seven years.) Aimee Bender is another obvious influence—not because either Bender or Walker is "precious," a charge too often lobbed unfairly at both, but because Walker, is also a careful writer whose sentences are precise and emotionally loaded.
But The Age of Miracles drifts rather than escalates, as though plot, too, has been stretched beyond recognition by the earth's slowing. This, perhaps, is why Walker's book ended up in the literary fiction category, even though in different hands its premise and protagonist could just as well have earmarked it for the so-hot-right-now genre of apocalyptic YA fiction. Julia is a girl witness to the slow erosion of her species, possessed of the knowledge that all human efforts must fade away. "We passed the ruins of an ancient gas station where one pump remained, rusted red," Walker writes. "Beside it stood a humble sun-bleached structure leaning heavily to one side, without its roof. There was a certain heartbreak in that scene. Someone had built those walls. Someone had once felt some kind of hope for the future of this place. Now you could see right through the cracks in the walls to the sky on the other side." Not with a bang but a whimper.

Nu Image's Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films have teamed up to give the world just the second film in which powerhouse personas Robert De Niro and Al Pacino will share the same scene in a movie. The film in question is "Righteous Kill", and Variety describes it as "a $60 million indie production". Which reminds you that Hollywood is all kinds of screwed up if a $60 million dollar movie can be considered "indie". In any case, "Righteous Kill" will be teaming Pacino and De Niro as cops pursuing a serial killer, and will be directed by Jon Avnet from a script by Russell Gewirtz.
The last time De Niro and Pacino were in the same scene together was Michael Mann's crime film "Heat", and although they were both in "Godfather 2", the actors had no scenes together.
Shooting for "Righteous Kill" begins in August in Connecticut.

CONCORD — Boston Salads and Provisions Company, Inc., a Boston establishment, is recalling approximately 223,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The products were sold in local New Hampshire convenience stores including Mr. Mikes in Dover, Exit 3 Travel Stop in Portsmouth, Phillips Academy Grill in Exeter and Dover Paint and Varnish.
The products were produced between Aug. 23 and Oct. 14 and shipped to wholesalers for further distribution to retail locations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is not aware of any illnesses in the state related to this recall.
Case labels or packaging may bear the sell by dates ranging from "9/13/2013" through "11/4/2013" as well as the establishment number "P-17999" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Although product included in this recall may be expired, FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen in consumer or retail freezers. The problem was discovered by routine sampling which led to further testing and confirmation of product contamination with Listeria. Additional recalls may occur as the
investigation continues.
A list of recalled products to date is available at the USDA's Food Recall website at <URL destination="http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2013/recall-061-2013-release">http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2013/recall-061-2013-release
If consumers have any of these products at home they are advised to discard them immediately and not eat them.
"It is important that all consumers, including retailers who may purchase larger containers for redistribution, check their freezers for this product," said Dr. Jos� Montero, director of public health at DHHS. "We are going to be keeping a close eye on this situation and continue monitoring for affected products and possible cases of illness. We will keep the
public informed of any new developments."
Infection with listeriosis can produce such symptoms as fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. If the infection spreads to the central nervous system, symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics, so anyone who suspects they may have the illness should contact their health care provider.
For questions about listeriosis, contact the DPHS Bureau of Infectious Disease Control at 271-4496. For more information about listeriosis, visit http://www.cdc.gov/listeria/index.html. Since this may be an evolving situation, consumers are advised to check the USDA's website at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/home for updates.
Below is a full list of retail locations in New Hampshire that DPHS is aware distributed the recalled items: Mr. Mike's stores in Contoocook, Fitzwilliam, Winchester, Dover, Bow, Manchester, Peterborough, Stoddard and Jaffery.
Also at: Dodges Country Store in New Boston; The Corner Deli & Pizza in Pelham; Exit 3 Travel Stop in Portsmouth; Phillips Academy Grill in Exeter; Lavallee Oil in Suncook; Dover Paint and Varnish; Newbury Quick Stop; Spofford Pizza; and Willy B's Take Out in Manchester.

About Me
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I went to Bethlehem, PA to attend university. Upon graduating, I moved back to New York to work several crappy jobs. I then did some research in the field of Microfluidics, while taking classes and working for the Japanese government. After finishing my research I moved to Arlington, VA, to work for the federal government, make music and be a yuppie. I got tired of that, though, so I stopped. I then moved to Göteborg, Sweden, where I studied toward a masters degree, did some consulting work and did other stuff that probably doesn't warrant mentioning. I now am back in Brooklyn, where I help run a civil engineering lab (big machines.) In my free time I make music, comics, guitar amps, software and try to find other creative outlets.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I participate by telling everybody how great couchsurfing is. It really is great. I also host and surf.
I lived in Göteborg and went to school there. The way I found out about the school system in Sweden and even thought of applying was from CSers that I hosted.

Some days it seems that you are in battle with every person who sells property casualty insurance. It's easy to view other local independent and exclusive agents as the enemy. This assessment is understandable, but it's also counterproductive. That's because even though you are business rivals, you are also industry allies. You both face growing competition from well-financed direct mail and Internet marketers as well as a whole new breed of bankers. For your mutual survival, you must aggressively explore trading opportunities with other agents outside of your organization. Over time, these budding relationships lead to a better bottom line for all and may even evolve into a future merger or buyout.
Seven potential agent-to-agent trades
Caution: Be certain to respect any applicable copyrights. Also, if you elect to share actual proposals, remove any identifiable and confidential prospect information.
These agent-to-agent exchanges are not intended to be one way. Each participant has to bring something of value to the table. The contacts may take place during an association meeting, after a continuing ed class, at a user group conference, or in a formal setting. The venue is not as important as the level of communication. However, you must always be aware that the person with whom you're meeting is not a member of your team. So, be absolutely certain not to violate any published privacy policies or applicable privacy or collusion laws. And always keep your most important and successful trade secrets to yourself. After all, you can't afford to give away your best stuff.

By Claude Badawy, Chief Operating Officer, Gowanda Electronics, Gowanda, NY and Mary T. Spohn, Technical Marketing Consultant, Getzville, NY
We are all familiar with China being a major exporter of goods to the United States. But how many times do we hear of a company — no less a US manufacturer of electronic components — exporting products to China? It is almost a foreign concept.

A New Look at Vapor Phase
By Tom Adams
Vapor phase reflow systems have had a curious history. They were the first reflow systems, back in the 1960s, before surface-mount technology and infrared reflow were introduced. When infrared and convection infrared reflow ovens came along, vapor phase systems faded away, but not quite ...
Finding Counterfeits with Ultrasound

Basically everybody
Bending Arena hallways
"... It sounds like someone might be inside." Julienne whispered, her gloved hand rested on the slightly-ajar door. "Do you think we should still go in? It's really dark, and if it's those stupid Equalists, they'll probably spring on us from the shadows."
"Well, it's not exactly like we can go back the way we came." Davian replied, sparing a glance back to the main platform while he metalbended his Omni-Orbs back to the balcony.
"Well... yeah, guess you're right." Julienne gently slid the door open a bit more, to where she could just barely see inside.
Inside of the dressing room on the other side of the door, three Equalist-looking types were lying scattered on the ground, clearly knocked out, and near the middle, Kalden was hunched over the unconcious Ryan, removing the gauntlet from Ryan's arm just in case. He lightly smacked Ryan's cheek to try and wake him up, brows furrowed in worry. "Come on Ryan, get up. You can't rest now, what if there's more Equalists around?"
"... Is he seriously trying to wake up those guards?" Julienne questioned, squinting hard. "He's gonna get himself killed if he does that. Do you think we should stop him?"
"Are you sure that's what it's about? He can't be that stupid..."
"... You're really overestimating some of the people you meet." Julienne shook her head. "Okay, well, I don't want him waking that loser up and getting us captured. I'm going in." Before Davian could stop Julienne, she kicked open the door and... threw her glove right at Kalden's head while she screamed, "Knock it off you moron! You're gonna get us captured!"
As the door behind him swung open, Kalden barely even registered the words being yelled at him as he dove off to the side, just barely avoiding the glove which came crashing on top of Ryan. Using the momentum, he pushed himself onto his hands, his lower body raising into the air; he proceeded to spin around, lashing out with a kick that sent a horizontal gust of air flying towards the doorway, in case any of the possible new assaulters had made their way inside.
Julienne screamed as the guy she had almost hit with her glove immediately jumped up and kicked a gust of wind at her, which caused her to get flung into the wall very roughly. "Ow ow ow ow ow, what the hell are you doing?! I'm not a bad guy, you idiot!"
Kalden pushed himself off of the floor with his hands, landing on the floor with one hand pushed further out than the other in a combat-ready stance. However, the girl's words caught him off-guard, leaving him blinking in surprise for a few moments. "... Why the hell did you scare me like that, then?! And you threw something at me too!"
"You were trying to wake up that gu -" Julienne froze, looking at the guy lying on the ground as he was slightly electrocuted by the glove. "... wait a minute. He's a... waterbender..." She looked back at Kalden, and then at the fallen guy, and Kalden again. "... Well that didn't give you a right to slam me into a freaking
Do you have any idea how much that hurt?! I just hit my head on a
wall because of you!"
"Well, what do you think someone
do if something gets thrown at them with no warning? What happened when someone got the drop on us?" Davian interjected, leaning with apparent disinterest against the doorway.
"Shut up Davian, this doesn't involve you!" Julienne snapped, before turning back to Kalden with an angry expression. "That seriously hurt! I could have busted my head open! Did you even think before you attacked?"
"Well... uh, sorry." Kalden replied, straightening out and relaxing again, placing one hand on his hip and the other behind his head, rubbing his neck while looking rather sheepish and apologetic. "I kinda just... thought we were under attack again. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Julienne huffed loudly. "Fine, whatever. I guess when my head stops throbbing I might forgive you. So what's the story with the unconscious one over there?"
"Well, we-" Kalden started, just as the previously unconcious Ryan stirred, letting out a loud, pained groan.
"That... was a pretty..." Ryan panted, groaning as he sat up. "
HIGH-FIVE!" he exclaimed enthusiastically, grinning and jumping back up, as if nothing had ever happened. He looked around, scratching the back of his neck. "Hey Kal, I see you got a bunch of new -" He stopped smiling when he noticed Davian leaning against the doorway. "-
"Friends is a very
word." Julienne commented, still glaring at the Sweating Kalden.
Davian's left eyebrow twitched at the look Ryan gave him.
Why did the little peace that was in this room just drain away...
He took his weight off of the wall and rubbed his still-sore wrist a bit. "I hate to stamp the saplings of friendship before they can really grow... or whatever, but I'm pretty sure me and the damsel here just woke up all the guards in the arena a minute ago."
"Why are you calling me a damsel?" Julienne complained. "I saved you three times."
"It just means a young, unmarried woman..." Davian explained.
Ryan quickly dusted his shirt off angrily and stomped towards the metalbender. "Okay listen, big-mouth. I don't want you muttering a single hell of a word from now on. The sound of your voice makes me seasick. The look of yer rotten, filth-covered face makes the rum in my hull go bad. Your very smell is stench to the dirtiest sailors in the country. So after this little
is done with, me and you are gonna have a little talk about how you treat ladies. More specifically
lady. You dig, or do I have to punch it in?"
He was now in Davian's face, holding him by the collar, threateningly raising a fist to his face.
Davian kept his expression of apathy while the freshly-awoken Waterbender stomped up to him and began flinging insults and threats in his face. At first he just listened but the moment the punk grabbed his collar he backhanded the guy's arm away from him. "I don't know what your problem is, but I've had enough of pointless fighting for today. And also: Don't. Touch. Me."
"Whoa whoa whoa, you guys." Julienne immediately went into mediator mode once she noticed that things were about to get physical. "You guys really shouldn't -"
"Shut it, lady. Just because you know Angelique doesn't mean -" Ryan snapped back at Julienne.
Oh, wait. She's her best friend; how could I be so -
Ryan paused, and then sighed. "Sorry. Just a disagreement. We'll talk about it later."
Kalden glanced back and forth between the three and as the argument began to escalate rapidly. However, things seemed to cool off as Ryan backed down. Taking a deep breath, he rubbed the side of his neck and stepped closer, raising his hands in a sort of 'let's all calm down now' gesture. "... Right, now that
happened... we should probably find somewhere to hide now that every guard in the arena is out looking for us. And from what the lady and the guy here said, they're probably on their way here now. So, uh... who's up for getting out of this room and find a better place to hide out for the time being?"
"Yeah, I like that idea." Julienne agreed. "How about we all leave the training rooms, with Unconscious Guy in the back of the group and Davian in the front? We might make it out without them trying to kill each other."
"Sounds like a plan to me. As long as we reach Angelique." Ryan agreed.
"Apparently nobody was listening when I said I don't
to fight, but whatever. As long as it helps us move. Once Julienne and Angelique are reunited, I can look for the Avatar." Davian shrugged, refusing to get worked up.
Kalden blinked in surprise at the supposed metalbender's comment, clearing his throat quietly. "Yeah, uh, about that... actually, I'll tell you when we're somewhere safe." He stepped over to the door leading out into the hallway, which he opened and peeked out of. "Right, so... I figure we should try to get to one of the smaller storage rooms. I doubt there's anyone in there, and if there are, we can probably take them out. It's down this hall to the right, then a left, and it's the third door on our -."
"Kalden, why don't you just lead us there instead, since you know where it is?" Julienne interrupted. "Seems a lot easier than having us memorize it for no reason."
"... Good point. It's just that your plan with those two sounded good and I didn't want to go against it, heh." He gave a little grin and shrugged his shoulders before putting on his serious face again.
"... Right, yeah. Davian, how about you go on ahead then? I'll stay at the back with this one." She suggested.
"Sure, just try not to castrate him if he pisses you off." Davian said as he moved closer to the doorway. He was as worried that she would get in a fight with Ryan as they were about him, what with how much he and she had argued earlier.
As Davian and Kalden both departed from the doorway, Julienne turned around to face Ryan to give him an angry glare. "Listen. If you ever tell me to shut up again, I will strangle you. And if you think
of all people have a chance with Angelique, you are sadly mistaken. I can guarantee that there is no possibility of you getting with her, ever. If anything, you should just keep quiet and stop causing so much trouble. Let's go."
She turned back around, satisfied with her sass, and walked off down the hall.
Ryan sighed and shook his head, looking at Julienne as she stormed away.
Angelique seriously needs to improve her social skills. If the only person she can get along with is THIS girl, of all others, I'm surprised.
He looked around for his glove, in the hopes that it hadn't been short-circuited. He found it a few feet away, slightly scorched but apprently still in a wearable state. He quickly picked it up and ran off towards the others.
While he followed Kalden through the hall towards wherever he was taking them, Davian couldn't help being curious about the whole scene in the locker room. "It figures that after all I've been through today, somebody would
be after me for one reason or another." He muttered only loud enough for Kalden to hear.
"Heh, sounds like you've had a pretty rough day. Though honestly, I bet pretty much everybody here's had that." He replied quietly to the guy behind him, carefully peering around the corner before scurrying around it, making sure there weren't any guards or thugs nearby, before looking over his shoulder, ensuring everybody was still with him.
"Alright, it's not far now, just a l-" The sound of trampling footsteps cut him off, coming from somewhere in front of them down the curved hall. His eyes widened as he looked around the hallway, spotting a door just to their left. He ran over to it and pulled it open, revealing a not-too-big janitor's closet, full of buckets, old rags and the usual cleaning supplies. "In here, quick!" He whispered to the others.
As Julienne came around the corner with Ryan close behind, she noticed that Kalden and Davian were jumping into a closet. "Guys, what are you... oh ****, there are people coming." Much like she said, two guards came running around the corner, stopping when they noticed the two of them. "Oh great... Pirate Dude, gimme your glove thing."
Ryan spun around. He saw the two guards coming, and Kalden and the Metalbender jumping into the storage closet. He quickly tossed the electric glove to Julienne before charging shoulderfirst into one of the guards, knocking him onto the ground before he could take out his electric weapon.
The second guard took the opportunity to dart past Ryan as he crashed into his partner towards Julienne, who was completely unprepared for the attack. The guy crashed into her, pushing her into the ground and attempting to grab her with the glove. She swung her hands and kicked her legs wildly, trying to hit the guy anywhere she could. The guard eventually grabbed her by the ankle and delivered a shock to her, making her scream in pain. She fell limp as he let go of her before he turned back to face Ryan.
Only a few seconds after he closed the closet door behind him Davian heard shouting and scuffling. "They didn't make it! We've gotta help 'em!" He whispered before reaching for the handle of the door.
Kalden managed to grab Davian's wrist before he grabbed the handle, whispering out a, "Hold on! You can't just go barging out there!" He gave the guy cramped into the tiny closet a little look before letting go of his wrist, taking a hold of the handle himself, pushing the door open just a crack, peering out at the scene playing out. He winced and murmured back to Davian; "... There's not alot we can do right now. We're not going to abandon them. Let's follow, and see where they're taking them."
Davian paused when Kalden stopped him and explained his preferred course of action. He had seen first hand that some of these jerks knew what they were doing in a fight, and if they were outnumbered it wouldn't be a good idea for him to jump in.
Besides, maybe if we follow them well enough they'll get taken somewhere we could find more allies...
He sighed. "I suppose it's the best option we've got right now."
Ryan swiftly stood back up and glanced back as he heard Julienne getting shocked behind him.
Well, here goes nothing.
Noticing a small stick attached to the belt of the guard he had just taken down, Ryan ducked as the second one threw a punch at him. He quickly snatched the stick and jumped back, holding the weapon like a sword. He noticed a small button at the bottom, and pressed it. The stick started glowing dark blue, as well as slightly buzzing and emitting small shocks of electricity. He took a step forward, and saw that the guard was backing away from him. Taking this as an opportunity, he ran forward and slammed the stick on the side of the guard's head, swinging it like a baseball bat. The impact was so strong it had slightly bent the stick, making it useless.
"Shouldn't have broken that!" The other guard, who was
to be knocked out, came from behind Ryan and put him in a chokehold, trying to knock him out. Ryan struggled roughly, trying to pry the guy's arms off, but sadly he was a lot weaker and couldn't get him off. Eventually, Ryan felt himself losing conscious, and his struggles died down before he finally passed out and the guard dropped him onto the ground in front of Julienne.
Davian had nudged Kalden out of his way a bit and was leaning against the door, listening carefully to the outer procedings. There was clearly a struggle but it wasn't all that long before it was over. Afterwards, he waited until the sounds of dragging were no longer audible to push the door open and inch out. "Alright, they're going further down that other hall. We have keep up without being noticed."
way? Hmh..." Kalden replied, looking both curious and rather worried for the two that were just dragged off, his brows furrowed as he finally gave a little nod. "Alright then, let's go save them." Kalden wasn't quite happy with going to where the thugs were keeping their hostages, considering he simply might get captured again, which wasn't something he was looking forward to. This time though, he was ready for them, and if they played it cleverly... they might just pull through without more than a few scratches.
He placed his palm against the door and slowly pushed it open, inching his way out of it and waiting for Davian to do the same, listening intently for the guards walking off, down the hallway. He glanced back at Davian, looking over the guy. If anything, he was happy to have someone watching his back, so he gave the boy a smile, reaching back to give Davian's shoulder a pat. "Don't worry; we'll save them, or my name isn't Kalden. I promise you that."
Davian wasted no time exiting the stuffy storage closet after Kalden. They had to help them. Whatever the watertard's problem was, Julienne deserved his assistance. He wanted to shove Kalden out of the way and run after them, but it was likely the Airbender was lighter on his feet than Davian and probably knew the stadium better.
Before they could go any further, however, a figure dropped down in front of them, landing only a few meters away. It was clear that this man was different from the Equalists who had attacked them not too long ago; he wore a concealing black robe and a face-concealing hood. The man lifted his hood just enough for the pair to see the bald, tattoed head underneath. The motion caused his long sleeves to shuffle down enough to reveal that his hands and arms bore the same markings. He opened his mouth and spoke, but the words that came out were sparce and barely audible. "Xiu is here, Angelique was caught in her place."
Davian formed his quarterstaff the moment the mysterious person made their entrance, taking a defensive stance. He kept on guard but visibly relaxed when the man showed them the distinctive arrow markings of an Airbender.
Xiu... Xiu... oh!
"That's the Avatar's name, right? We could definitely use the help... is there any chance either of them were brought to the same place our friends are going to?"
As soon as the figure had dropped down in front of them, Kalden had gone into a defensive position as well. However, he quickly put down his guard again as the man revealed his identity, Kalden's eyes widening. "... Uncle Thok! So Xiu -is- here!" He folded an arm across his chest, raising his other hand to rub his chin, putting on a thoughtful expression. "So this Angelique was caught instead of Xiu? They probably brought her to the boss' place... but from what I'm guessing, is that Ryan, Xiu and... uhm, angry-girl are most likely being brought to where the rest of the hostages are, which is down this hallway. The only place big enough for that is the big gym."
Taking a moment to let this sink in with the other two, he turned to Thokmay, now more than confident enough that they'd be able to save the others, as he put on a bright grin, glancing over to Davian afterwards. "Shall we go save the Avatar and our friends?"
With a plan finally decided upon Davian couldn't help feeling the thrill of oncoming battle fill his mind. He clenched his fists and his staff melted and the liquid metal moved down his arms and covered his hands, forming into a pair of large guantlets with heavy-bolted knuckles. He smirked back at Kalden and thumped the gauntlets together. "Let's."
