Grace Draven began asking her reader and writer friends a few really interesting questions lately, questions I hold close to the heart. One of them included a request to define what a strong heroine was.
The answers were as varied as the stars in the sky.
In a previous question, she asked people to define Alpha, Beta, and Gamma heroes, character tropes many consider to be 'strong.' Once again, the answers were shockingly varied, and some of them genuinely horrified me to a certain extent.
In a way, both of her questions directly deal with the strength of characters in fiction. Since I'm a genre fiction author, I'm going to stick with what I know: genre fiction and its heroes, stereotypes, and definitions.
Of all the tropes I want to discuss, I think this one has me up in arms the most. Whenever someone says 'Alpha' character, lately, it means you may as well be writing an 'Asshole' character instead. Somehow, a man or woman's strength as an 'Alpha' is directly related to their 'Asshole Level.'
It disgusts me. Alpha is a lot more than having an asshole character abusing those beneath him. I understand this is a common trend, especially in romance or shifter fiction, but the Alpha trope type is so, so much more diverse than 'Asshole man or woman who needs a good person to fix them.'
Fuck that shit with a stick. An Alpha can be a lot of things, and they don't need to be someone who needs some nice person to come around and 'fix' them.
Of course, as long as people keep misreading 'Alpha' as 'Asshole,' fiction isn't going to change much. It's really a sad state of affairs, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoy the badass man who is softened over time because he learns important lessons in life, but that isn't what it means to be an Alpha, not in my opinion.
I view the Alpha character as someone who has a predominant role meant to safeguard, protect, or guide those beneath them. The methods can be varied. Some Alphas are like Superman, that dashing hero who strides in and sweeps the girl off his feet and is the typical Boy Scout. Curran (Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series) is a great example of an Alpha who takes protection to an extreme, and he will be an asshole to accomplish his goals, but he does it for the sake of everyone he protects. Underneath his exterior is someone exceptionally concerned for his people, and he will do just about anything for them. He changes over the course of the series, too, becoming a stronger person–still an asshole in many ways, but one who can be understood and respected.
Alpha can mean asshole, but it doesn't mean exclusively an asshole.
I'm going to showcase my Alpha characters from my books and go into their asshole ratings. Some aren't assholes at all. They're varied. Why?
Alphas are individuals, and Alphas serve a role. They don't have to be assholes to fit that role.
I'll begin with my Alpha Assholes.
Desmond can be found within the pages of Tales of the Winter Wolf (Boxed Set and Volume Six), Winter Wolf, and Beneath a Blood Moon. He is Nicolina's father, and is considered the top Alpha Fenerec (werewolf) in the Witch & Wolf world. He's an old Fenerec, though not the oldest in the series/world. He is considered a lone wolf, although in reality, he has been adopted and accepted by two of North America's largest packs. He is the enforcer of the Inquisition, and his job is to kill people who break the rules and protect Normals from the supernatural. As such, his asshole level is quite high.
He doesn't want to get close to people he might have to kill.
Then he had daughters with his mate, and his overprotective tendencies kicked into overdrive; this is a man who has always been strong, able to brute force his way through just about any situation. He has killed, and he has killed often.
Having children, however, mellowed him far more than he cares to admit, especially since his mate had to violate a taboo for the sake of one of their daughters at the price of the other.
This guy is a Grade A dick. He does exactly what he wants, how he wants, when he wants. But, he does it with a purpose: to protect.
In Tales of the Winter Wolf, he's portrayed as a wolf to fear, but the lie of his existence is revealed piece by piece over the course of the books he's in. He's never a point-of-view character, and I really doubt he will be. (I might feature him as a lead character in a Tales of the Winter Wolf short, however.)
Kalen is one of the lead characters from Storm Without End and Storm Surge (Requiem for the Rift King.) He only has one arm, and he uses his often shitty personality to protect himself from relationships. Around every corner, he expects someone ready to kill him for his rank. He puts the ass in asshole, and he has an entire kingdom of some of the roughest bad boys (and girls) to defend, protect, and rule. As such, he puts the ass in asshole but he uses it as a shield.
Those who know him realize he's just a guy who would much rather have his presence be felt rather than seen, working from the shadows without anyone ever acknowledging his existence. Survival has hardened him, but his good nature hasn't been beaten out of him yet, and at the end of the day, he lives to protect his people and the rest of the kingdoms.
He's an asshole, no doubt, but he's a very simple asshole to understand. If you don't hurt those he cherishes, he'll leave you alone. Unless you're his dad. Boy, does Kalen ever have Daddy issues…
Elliot makes his first appearance in Inquisitor, and when readers first meet him, his Alpha Asshole status isn't immediately seen. In actuality, he's a really nice guy forced into the Alpha Asshole role. Almost every single Witch & Wolf world novel is somehow touched by the Alpha Asshole over all Alpha Assholes in this series. Desmond's the main Alpha Fenerec Asshole, and at the end of the day, Desmond bows to Elliot.
I'll leave the hows and whys for you to discover. In Elliot's case, the 'Asshole' part is due to necessity of who and what he is. He has to be that way.
He doesn't want to be that way.
The next type of Alpha I want to discuss doesn't fall into the Alpha Asshole profile at all. They're undeniably Alphas, but they aren't jerkfaces, either.
Seattle's Alpha is as far from an asshole as it gets among Alpha Fenerec. He makes his first appearance in Tales of the Winter Wolf, and is the male romantic lead of Beneath a Blood Moon. He's an Alpha, and he's one many people respect. He leads with an iron fist, but it's wrapped in velvet, and he only acts when he absolutely must. He had a rather untraditional start as an Alpha, and his unusual rise to a position of power among Fenerec have shaped him into a strong nice guy.
In short, he's thought of as the type of man everyone wants guarding their back. He's loyal, will do just about anything for a friend, and cares dearly for those under his rule/supervision. He's loved by many, hated by few.
He's one of my favorite Alpha characters to write about, because he's tough but kind. He's just a good guy who makes the best of bad situations.
To me, Sanders is the definition of a fun Alpha; he protects and is in a position of power, but he prefers to use cunning over brute force to get the job done… but if brute force is required, he has it in spades, and he isn't afraid to use it. He's a very easy man to underestimate, but he's very upfront about his Alpha status. There are two Fenerec above him in the food chain, and he knows it–and he toes with the second-strongest Fenerec as often as possible.
This power couple darts back and forth between the Alpha Asshole and the Nice Guy Alpha. In Nicolina's words, Richard is a nice guy with a guilty conscious. He acts like an asshole when necessary, but in reality, he just wants to have a normal life, have a little fun, and love the people he loves. This pair has more issues than National Geographic, but they're a little bit of everything. They're adults, they're kids, they're serious, they're immature, they're strong, and in so many cases, they're weak.
These two are great fun (and a challenge) to write because they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders as the leading Alpha pair of the North American Fenerec packs. When shit hits the fan, they're the ones who have to deal with it. They pull out their big bad monsters on the block cards when necessary, but the threat of their existence is usually enough to keep people in line.
They don't have to be assholes about it. Now, Nicolina? She's a firecracker, but that's totally different from being an asshole.
Richard and Nicolina are characters in Tales of the Winter Wolf, Winter Wolf, Blood Diamond, and Beneath a Blood Moon.
Of all my Alpha characters, Dante is quite possibly my favorite. He is a nice guy who simply doesn't recognize he's an Alpha of any sort. He starts out as a Gamma hero, but works his way to full Alpha by the end of Blood Diamond.
I have more Alpha characters, but these ones are my particular favorites.
Beta heroes are fascinating; in most situations, these are the secondary support characters. They're the characters who help the Alphas from the shadows–or directly–in some fashion or another. They're strong characters in their own right, but they don't carry the weight of command easily or well. They're followers, but they're followers who can pick up the banner of hero in a jam. Betas work best when partnered with an Alpha who makes them shine. Of course, this is just my opinion of what Betas are.
As a quick list, here are the betas who compliment the Alphas above.
Kalen: Breton and Maiten. These two Guardians are Kalen's right hand men, and without them, Kalen wouldn't have survived as long as he has. Over the course of Requiem for the Rift King, there are a lot of Beta heroes who step up to make sure Kalen can change the world. Without them, he's fucked. Without him, they're fucked, too.
Desmond: Few people rise up to a support role where Desmond is concerned, but Richard and Sanders can, which makes Richard and Sanders even more interesting as Alphas. They sometimes serve as Desmond's betas, and they know it. This also sets Desmond apart from many of the other Alpha characters. He's mostly a lone wolf without consistent people to protect, which is a problem in his position.
Richard & Nicolina: Frank and Alex/Lisa serve as betas to this pair of Alphas, although Alex and Lisa are Alphas in their own right. It makes for a very interesting power play, especially as Frank is also a Gamma hero in addition to being a Beta. (What? How?! I'll explain a little below.)
Dante: Brandon, one of Dante's employees, and Zach, the captain of the Wave Dream, are Dante's right hand men and serve as his Betas. They aren't often seen on the pages, but their presence has influenced Dante quite a bit. Since Dante's confused as far as Alphas go, they have a really tough job. (Sorry, characters. Well, sorta. Okay, I'm lying. I'm not sorry at all.)
Sanders: Sanders has a huge Beta-style support cast, but his mate is his right hand woman, and she fits whatever role he needs at any given time.
I rarely write about Beta characters without them having an Alpha to support. That said, I have loads of them in my books, as they are so incredibly fun to write. As secondary characters, they bring books to life.
One day, I might just dive in and write a novel with a Beta character as the only lead rather than a complimentary lead, such as is the case with Breton in Requiem for the Rift King.
The hardest nut to crack is the Gamma Hero. The Gamma Hero is that person who wants to fly under the radar but still manages to change the world around them. This is the guy who rescues kittens from floods without drawing attention to himself. His–or her–main characteristic is actually super easy to understand.
They don't really mean to be heroes, but there's a job that needs to be done, so they buckle down and get to work. The Gamma Hero truly shines when their loved ones are at risk–or someone needs help.
They don't draw attention to themselves. They don't have a lot of people to protect, but they have a need to do something right or good–or even not so good. They can be an assassin who lurks in the dark places of the world, removing those who would ruin their plans–or bring ruin–to what is important to them.
These are the most diverse of the hero types, because they are just so damned varied by their nature.
They're also my favorite to write.
Jesse Alexander from Water Viper is one of my favorite Gamma Heroines. She has the headstrong quality of an Alpha, but she would rather no one notice her at all unless they're hiring her for a job–preferably one that doesn't involve her having to kill someone. She's an assassin, but she's an assassin with morals. When she strikes, she changes the world.
She doesn't even realize how much she changes the world unless it's too late to stop it from happening, no matter how much she doesn't want to be involved. She fits the reluctant hero profile, too, but at the end of the day, she's a strong woman who just wants to live to see another day.
She didn't set out to be a catalyst of any sort. She just does the absolute best she can each day without drowning. She doesn't end up doing a very good job of keeping her nose out of trouble, though.
Jesse leads me to the second part of my discussion: strong characters.
I don't really think I can say this better than I already have when I initially answered Grace Draven's question, so I'm going to just go with my original comment:
I'm probably going to have a non-traditional answer here, but strong to me means she gets back up from whatever keeps knocking her down, and that she does what is necessary. It doesn't mean she stands up to everyone, is a bitch, etc, but rather she has a level of perseverance and grows through the story. Maybe she does end up standing up for herself later, but she is a rock in the flood or the tree that bends in a storm without snapping.
Exchange she for he as necessary. This applies to both men and women. Strong doesn't mean asshole. If anything, assholes are so often the weakest characters there are. They simply lack the depth of understanding to be strong enough to bend. They don't know how to get up when they truly fall.
It's that person who keeps standing, no matter how much it hurts, how far they've fallen, or what has been done to them, that is truly strong.
Strength isn't in a lack of failure.
Strength is failing and getting back up and trying again.
Sometimes, a character needs to fall flat on their face and wallow before they discover they're actually strong enough to stand. Some characters never manage to rise from the ashes, but the ones who do?
Those are the truly strong, and they can fit any character trope type.
Don't limit yourself into believing that the only strength is in wealth and obvious power. Chances are, that bent, sad woman who struggles to care for her family is far stronger than anyone else you've met. Strength is so much more than having power over another person, and I think we as readers and writers forget about that sometimes.
It isn't the trope type or the type of hero that makes the character strong, but their actions, their trials, and their ability to stand back up and fight the good fight, even if they lose–especially if they lose.
Strength comes in many different shapes and sizes, and it doesn't need to have 'Asshole' attached. I think it's high time we as readers (and writers) started redefining our fiction so that characters with true strength can come to the forefront without being shadowed by the stereotypical Alpha Asshole.

Having a wood fire burning in your fireplace all winter long can save you on your electric bills, not to mention the nice homey feel it can give your house. However when smoke goes up a chimney, it leaves behind ash and carbon residue. These residues need to be cleaned out periodically, or they can result in chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks, and lack of airflow though the chimney to the outside. You may wonder what the cost is to have a chimney sweep clean out your chimney, and a number of factors influence the price for cleaning it.
How often do you use your fireplace?If you use your fireplace four or more times a week, you will need the chimney cleaned on a regular basis to guard against build-up. It is best to have a chimney sweep come to your home to do an assessment of what is needed before you plan on how often you will have a chimney cleaning. This will be the single-most important factor in the cost of your chimney's upkeep as it will determine how often a chimney sweeper comes to your home.
How steep is your roof?A chimney sweep must clean your chimney on both the inside and outside of your home. The outside portion involves climbing on your roof and cleaning down the chimney for as far as he can reach. If you have a particularly high or steep roof that will make it either difficult to access by way of a ladder or especially difficult to climb on, then your chimney sweep may have extra fees involved in your cleaning. This is something to address with him before the beginning of the cleaning.
Hire a Chimney Cleaner Today
How long since your last cleaning?Cleaning your chimney is an important task and must be done for the sake of your safety. If you haven't had your chimney cleaned in many years and use your fireplace regularly, the cost of the initial cleaning may be more expensive than any subsequent cleaning. Any build-up that has solidified over the years may be very difficult to remove and so the cleaning will need to be more extensive.

Very helpful info before meeting the expert.
Important info given to assist with obtaining a estimate
Our past cost experience has been $75-100.
I just wanted to say. I have have no idea when this chimney was last cleaned as we have only been living at this residence since last October and never used the fireplace all last winter. (Our first in this home)
appreciate the detail of information.
no one to do my chimney
I have always paid no more than $75.00 for this service!
Single story home, ranch home. Hardly ever use fireplace but want it cleaned so I can use. I pulled hadle on flue and handle came off. My husband said the screw came out.
I have this service done yearly; however I have never use this company is there any one else for the comparison of cost
no idea when chimney was last cleaned, i am a renter
We bought our house in December 2014. they had the total chimney redone. We used it a couple of times last winter. Just needs to be cleaned. I need a quote.
I'm single so this info was very helpful. I now know what to expect.
Good Info to know
Sorry about the previous comment - this article was very helpful. I did not know the residue can cause carbon monoxide leaks which is a safety hazard. So, cleaning it periodically is mandatory. Carbon Monoxide is odorless & fumes can cause instant death.
I need a larger flue to cover my chimney. I have a small one but during the Hurricane Bermine, water got into the ceiling & caused the drywall around it to be damaged which needs to be replaced.
very helpful
thanks for info.
Sounds great so far......
Great info to have before he arrives.
Great info to have before hand
Provided good direction and expectations.
Fast, informative and helpful.
This information was helpful in planning and budgeting to improve the safety and efficiency of my fireplace and chimney.
It is good to know what to expect!

And so … if you're not getting your emails, I'd appreciate you letting me either in the comments below or by emailing me at jfguin(at)comcast(dot)net. Be sure to mention when they stopped and whether these are daily emails or a confirmation email for a new subscriber or a comment notification email (or whatever other kind of email OIJ may throw off).

When Coworker B told me that he preferred pancakes over waffles, I realized that I did not know him at all.
Then, then ... he confessed that when it comes to frozen desserts, he could take 'em or leave 'em. Over frozen yogurt, ice cream, custard, gelato, et al, and during the hottest of days, he would opt for a cookie. A cookie!
I think of him now and about this mango sno cone from Parker's Water Ice. It is the perfect treat for a muggy day like today.
I went for straightforward with one flavor, but witnessed a customer create a crazy-colorful cup with multiple flavors of ices. There are some 30-plus flavors ranging from grape lemonade and tropical splash to banana and root beer.
Parker's also offers about two dozen flavors of soft serve — pistachio nut, cheesecake, blackberry, etc. — all of which can be made into a milkshake.

By Bob Reddy (Florida Catholic)
For one week in February the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima spent time within the Diocese of Venice as part of an 18-month tour of the United States commemorating the 100th anniversary of the original apparition in Portugal.
The Fatima Centennial U.S. Tour for Peace stop at Epiphany Cathedral was Feb. 17. The pilgrim statue was brought forward by the Knights of Columbus and displayed during a morning Mass which had more than 800 people. The Mass intentions were for the students of Epiphany Cathedral Catholic School, peace in the world and the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Caroline Anderson came from St. Patrick Parish in Sarasota to be able to pray before the statue. "She is so beautiful," Anderson said. "I have always wanted to go to Fatima but this is the closest I will get. We need Our Mother now more than ever. She is the bringer of peace, peace for our souls and peace for the world."
The statue also made visits at St. Paul Parish in Arcadia on Feb. 18, St. Margaret Parish in Clewiston on Feb. 19, St. Francis Xavier Parish in Fort Myers on Feb. 22, and then at St. Raphael Parish in Lehigh Acres on Feb. 23. The statue previously stopped at Ave Maria Parish in Ave Maria on Jan. 27.
Charity Rossi of Epiphany Cathedral was grateful the pilgrim statue was available for viewing locally. She also appreciated the history and story as presented by Patrick Sabat, the Statues Custodian. "What a blessing this opportunity is. My mother will not be able to see it at her home Diocese up north. I said a prayer for her and for others who are not as fortunate as I was."
Sabat shared the story of the apparition which first took place between May 13 and October 13, 1917. "Our Lady was seen by three small children tending sheep along the meadows of Fatima, Portugal, when a great light appeared followed by a message of peace from what was an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
While many did not believe the young children, Sabat told the students of Epiphany Cathedral School that they need to keep hold of their belief in the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ and how they came to us to bring peace to the world.
It was in 1947 when the world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima was sculpted by José Thedim. Two sculptures were created to reflect the precise instructions of Sister Lucia, one of the children of Fatima. The second statue is on permanent display at the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. Pope Pius XII crowned Our Lady of Fatima as Queen of the World and the pilgrim statue has travelled to hundreds of countries and has been seen by millions.
Interwoven into each visit was the Mass, silent prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, praying the rosary and much more. A steady stream of people visited each location while in the Diocese. Some knelt as close to the statue as possible, while others prayed in the pews. For each the experience was different, yet no less profound.

502 Bad Gateway – installing via Plesk
I am trying to install WordPress on a site using a Windows server with Plesk. I have uploaded and unzipped the files, created the MySQL database and edited wp-config.php
When going to wp-admin/install.php, I get the following error:
502 Bad Gateway
Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
Googling, I discover this may occur under Plesk when a fopen() is attempted on a file not in the local filesystem.
By the process of commenting out various lines in the source, I am 99% sure it is happening somewhere in wp-settings.php
However, this file contains a large amount of requires() and before I spend too much time trying to find out where the culprit is, I thought I would ask here if anyone has had the same problem or would know where the rogue fopen() might be. As far as I can tell, it won't be possible for me to change the PHP configuration to fix it, so hopefully it is something that can be worked around.
- The topic '502 Bad Gateway – installing via Plesk' is closed to new replies.

The cute boy in this picture is none other than one of the leading Tollywood heroes of today, Prabhas Raju Uppalapati. The childhood photo of Prabhas is going viral in International media. It is hard to believe that 6'2'' something Tollywood star, Prabhas, once was a adorable tiny cherub.
After delivering SS Rajamouli's Baahubali:The Beginning and Baahubali:The conclusion, Prabhas has become popular at International level. The childhood pic of Prabhas is being shared by his fans on the social media and now it is grabbing the attention of International media.
In spite of being a national celebrity now, Mirchi star Prabhas is actually a very private man in real life. His close circle of friends mostly includes people whom he has known since childhood. Even in the professional field, the actor mostly works with people whom he has known well for many years. S.S. Rajamouli, who never fails to praise the actor, also said they share such a great work equation thanks to their friendship, he said, "Prabhas and I became very close after we worked together for the first time in 'Chatrapathi', and we used to spend a lot of time together." On the workside, currently Prabhas is busy in his ongoing project 'Sahoo', being helmed by Run Raja Run fame Sujeeth and its producer is one of his good childhood friends. Prabhas definitely knows to keep his friends and family close.

The mother of the man shot by police in Charlotte, N.C., said Thursday night that she spoke to her son about 90 minutes before the controversial incident in which Keith Lamont Scott, 43, was killed on Tuesday.
Vernita Scott Walker said she received the call at 2:22 p.m. on Tuesday. The call, which she played for the media, consisted of noises, and Keith apparently saying "Lamont."
"And he done got shot. And he called me. Yes he did, he called me," she said. "He just wanted me to know that it was him."
Advertisement - story continues below
She said the spot where Scott was shot was the place he would wait for his son and read the Quran, which she said he would read every day.
"He loved to read that book, he loved to read that book," Vernita said.

Walker said Scott made another call to her on Tuesday.
"I said, 'I love you son,' and he said, 'I love you mama,' and that's the first time he ever said it like that," Walker said.
Advertisement - story continues below
Walker had messages for two groups — the media spreading word about Scott's past troubles and the protesters who raged through the streets of Charlotte for two nights after his death.
Scott had served time in a Texas prison for a 2005 conviction on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He had also been convicted on a misdemeanor charge of assault with a deadly weapon in 2004 and had been charged with assault with intent to kill back in 1995.
"I want everybody to know that, no, we're not perfect," she said to the media in general. "My son is not perfect. But what he's done in this time and doing now as dead, I don't appreciate that they malign him and try to discredit the public, say well, he been this, he been that."
She also told protesters to behave.

"I would appreciate as Keith Lamont Scott's mother that y'all give up the rioting. Y'all can have a peaceful walk or anything else that y'all want to do but rioting is not helping this situation. It's making it worse," she said.
"If he was here and something like that was going on downtown and he found out his boys been down there he would go and get them. He would not have let them do nothing like that."
She urged everyone to unite in the wake of the tragedy.
"The hardest part now is for y'all to ease away, y'all say a prayer altogether and y'all leave all that rioting and stuff alone. Keith is gone. Keith is not here and he can't see the damages that his family it makes it bad for the family that you all are looting and things like that," she said.
Advertisement - story continues below
Ever since Scott was killed, family members have said he was reading a book. However, police have said no book was found at the scene.
"The family is grieving. We get it," commented John S. Roberts on Young Conservatives. "Still, to push the lie about him having a book instead of coming at cops with a gun in his hand is bogus. And the war on cops continues."

Canon PowerShot Pro1
Canon PowerShot G6
Nikon Coolpix 8700
what are you going to use it for?
I would look at the Minolta A2 or Nikon 8800 before the Pro 1 or 8700, the G6 is a different feel, though still a great cam. The A2 and 8800 have image stabilization and improvements the 8700 and Pro1 don't have
i mainly use it to take picture of landings, mountains, water drops, soccer games..
i used before canon s40, now i wanna get something which has more Mp and bst picture quality..
I have a Canon Pro1. Love it....although I think the G6 is a bit cheaper or it might be the other way around.

416 F2d 881 Kurdziel v. Pittsburgh Tube Company
416 F.2d 881
Helen T. KURDZIEL, Executrix of the Estate of Franklin C. Rosebrock, Deceased, Plaintiff-Appellant,
PITTSBURGH TUBE COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 19345.
United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit.
September 25, 1969.
David R. Goldberg, Toledo, Ohio (Lankenau & Lankenau, Napoleon, Ohio, and Cubbon & Rice, Toledo, Ohio, on the brief), for appellant.
Beatrice K. Bleicher, Toledo, Ohio (Fred A. Smith, Toledo, Ohio, on the brief), for appellee; Cobourn, Smith, Rohrbacher & Gibson, Toledo, Ohio, of counsel.
Before PHILLIPS, EDWARDS and CELEBREZZE, Circuit Judges.
Decedent Rosebrock was killed in an accident at his employer's dock. A bundle of steel piping fell off of a truck while a co-employee was unloading the truck, crushing and killing Rosebrock. The executrix of his estate sued appellee Pittsburgh Tube on the ground that it loaded the steel pipe on the truck and did so negligently.
The District Judge, after trial of the case without a jury, dismissed plaintiff's complaint in a careful opinion which contained this critical analysis of the most relevant evidence:
"On cross-examination, Travis [the co-employee who was unloading the pipe] admitted that he had not measured the pieces of cribbing; that he had previously given a statement saying that only the center piece of cribbing was short; that the front piece was the same length as always; and that he had no idea why the bundle fell off. He also stated that he came to the conclusion that the cribbing was short, because that is the only way that the steel could have fallen.
"This evidence was countered by the testimony of the third party defendant Barnes, the truck driver, that the pieces of cribbing which were furnished by the defendant were of the standard length; that he inspected the load while he was placing the chain binders, and at least once after that, and saw nothing wrong with it."
The District Judge also found as a fact that Barnes was responsible for placement of the two pieces of cribbing which supported each end of the load. Barnes, of course, was an employee of Glenn Cartage, and no negligence of his could be attributed to appellee Pittsburgh Tube.
On review of the evidence in this record and the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the District Judge, we conclude that the Judge's findings are not clearly erroneous Fed.R.Civ.P. 52 (a).
The judgment is affirmed on the reasoning of the District Judge's opinion 305 F.Supp. 953. The motion of appellee for damages or double costs under Rule 38 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure is denied.

What are the signs of uveitis?
The eyes are often red and typically a deeper red than that seen in pinkeye (conjunctivitis).
Aside from the redness of the eye(s), the only other visible signs of uveitis are microscopic and can be seen by an ophthalmologist or optometrist using a slit lamp microscope. Inflammatory white blood cells can be visualized in and around the uvea.
What are the different types of uveitis?
The different types of uveitis are classified based on which parts of the uvea are affected: iritis (iris), cyclitis or intermediate uveitis (ciliary body), choroiditis (choroid), or panuveitis (all three parts of the uvea).
Different types are then further classified by cause: autoimmune (when associated with an autoimmune disease in the body), infectious (when caused by a bacteria, virus, fungus, or parasite), traumatic (after trauma to either eye), or idiopathic (no identifiable cause).
What other medical conditions are associated with uveitis?
Several autoimmune diseases can be associated with uveitis: sarcoidosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, to name a few. Several infections in the body can also be associated: tuberculosis, Lyme disease, syphilis, herpes zoster (shingles), and others.
What specialties treat uveitis?
If an associated medical disease is suspected, your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) may ask you to see other doctors, as well. A primary-care doctor or pediatrician will likely be involved in the work-up, and additional specialists such as a rheumatologist or infectious-disease doctor may be consulted.

Ever have that one person in your life that you just can't give up on, the one person that can screw you over time after time, yet you always seem to give them another chance? And no matter how many times you say this is their last one, you know it's a lie because there's always just one more waiting for them. The one person you know you're better off without, but you can't find a way to let them go because deep down inside, you wouldn't know what to do without them. The one person you know doesn't deserve you, but yet you choose to overlook it because you simply love them too much.

01.11.11 - 01.11.12
Another first November comes.
It has been 366 days since the day when he prayed then I said I do.
Look at where we are now!
I and A have been through so many things this year.
Everything I know about love, I learned from him.
And everything I know about pain, I learned from him too.
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cried, we fight then we hug.
During the past year, we learn to know each other.
We both did a lot of mistake and sometimes we hurt each other.
But here we are, always back to love each other.
Today, we spent a good time together.
I gave him a present and a message in card. And I'm glad that he loves the present so much. :)
I thank God, whatever you call this relationship, I'm happy he still here with me.
Somebody told me that sometimes things in life are meant to be, sometimes they have to wait to be or may be they were simply never to be. But this morning, when I prayed, I thanked God for the last eight months we were together and I wish we still have chance in the future to really meant to be. :)

At the US Open of Surfing a person could walk around Huntington Beach for two hours and not have the slightest suspicion that one of the biggest surf contests in North America is unfolding just a hundred yards away. The scene at the beach seems like a scrambled batch of brightly colored tents, extravagant promotional campaigns, and extremely tan human beings slowly boiling together in the heat. Though it may be a difficult feat to accomplish, if one successfully wades through this swamp and reaches the oceanfront, they will receive a well-deserved treat: U.S. competitive surfing at its finest.
The final day of competition began with steel skies and sounds of Sublime as twelve surfers took to the water with dreams of conquest. Only one man could materialize these hopes, and this California mop-head was none other than Rob Machado. Machado took the title with four of the highest-scoring, crowd-pleasing heats of the day.
In the round of 12 Machado ousted Luke Munro by posting an 8.5 early in the heat, which was incidentally the third highest scoring wave of the day. His consistent surf in the choppy four to seven foot waves proved enough to advance to the quarters where he would face Josh Kerr in a no-holds barred assault on the Southside of the HB Pier.
Aussie Mick Campbell tallied the Round of 12's biggest highlight with the only perfect ten of the contest. Right as the horn blew to kick-start his heat, Campbell fired down the face of an overhead righthander. With three vertical turns on the wave of the day, the crowd shook off the morning's grogginess with huge cheers from the bleachers. To add to the excitement, Josh Kerr barely edged Timmy Curran by .57 in the same heat to proceed to the quarterfinal.
The first two quarterfinal heats were marked by what seemed like an hour long lull. Roy Powers overtook Tanio Baretto in a wave-starved thirty minutes, and in heat #2 the eighteen year old from Reunion Island, Jeremy Flores, upset current WCT no. 4, Bobby Martinez. Martinez spent much of the heat waiting patiently for a few quality waves that unfortunately never arrived.
The South swell and high action surf returned for Rob Machado's showdown with aerial specialist Josh Kerr. Machado connected two winding lefts to the inside, and posted the second highest scoring wave of the day with an 8.67. The wave ended with Machado flying through the pilings of the pier and stamping the ride with a seal of approval by flicking his fro with Lopez-like style. With Machado wielding two solid scores, Kerr needed an 8 in the waning minutes. Kerr valiantly ripped his way through a set wave, but feel just half a point short as the air horn blasted.

My daughter loves anything green and anything zebra print, so this towel set made a great Easter gift! The towels are very soft and just as nice as our high end towels, even so, the print would win over the feel for a 13 year old! The towels have held up with daily use and several washingsl The color is true to what I see on my computer screen and everything is as described. I didn't notice any issues I normally look for in new towels with the first wash, such as deteriorating seams, fuzz loss, or color run/fading, so this really is an excellent product. We live in Arizona and the weather has gone from snow to 92 degrees in one week and the towels are fluffly, but still dry out overnight. Glad I bought this towel set for her.Read More
