Here it is:
And it is a thing of beauty. The dark and brooding kind. I can't wait to meet it in person!
Here it is:
And it is a thing of beauty. The dark and brooding kind. I can't wait to meet it in person!
It's been a rather testing year. At the beginning, the troubles I've had with my neck for nearly 20 years abruptly escalated to the point where I couldn't write. Physiotherapy and an MRI later and it seems like the problem is both a worsening of muscular issues along with the new complication of a slightly compressed disc and nerve.
Writing is the main culprit. It's easy to tell it is. I can still paint and draw, if I stand up. I can dig in the garden. But if I sit or extend both of my arms for more than an hour even the strongest over-the-counter pain killers can't cut the pain. Sitting and extending is worse.
(I should add: I've tried dictation software before, and it doesn't work with the way I write. Please don't sent me emails suggesting it.)
Keeping away from the computer for all but an hour a day for eight months has helped. So has reducing tweeting to a minimum – mostly just reading and replying to notifications. But it hasn't cured me, and it's likely this is a long-term problem that will only go away completely if I never write again.
That's no fun.
I figure that, since I managed to write the last half of Successor's Promise in an hour a day over about seven months, then polishing over another month, producing books is still possible. They'll happen a lot slower, but that does give me more planning and plotting time. But before I launch into the next book, I'm having a rest for a few months (if you call physio, pilates and other exercise-related treatment a 'rest') to see if that helps as well.
I hope you'll find it worth the wait.
To celebrate the paperback release of Angel of Storms, Orbit is running a fan festival that is all about creativity.
It's an opportunity for artists and makers to demonstrate their unique skills and show how my books have inspired them. Whether you have painted Sonea's portrait, made a soft toy veez or a Beetle pendant, we want to see it. If you haven't seen your particular creative specialty on the list, just enquire to see if it can be included.*
The details and lists of prizes are here.
* Unfortunately I had to rule out fanfiction for this competition, as I'm going to be choosing the final winners and I don't want to be influenced when I come to write future books. Also, I have an idea for a fanfiction project that I might do a few years down the track.
I'm excited to announce that I will be appearing at the Fantasy Festival in Esbjerg, Denmark, later this year.
The festival will be held at Esbjerg Conference Hotel, Stormgade 200, 6700 Esbjerg on the 17th and 18th of September 2016. It celebrates fantasy literature, movies, board games, figure and role playing. I'm looking forward to meeting Danish fantasy authors, shopping at the marketplace and, most of all, talking to my Danish fans.
For more information go to the website or visit the Facebook page.
(To head off the questions… no, I'm not going to be appearing anywhere else on this trip. It's just a short one. I'm hoping to be back in Europe next year, though nothing official has been arranged yet.)
Today the French edition of Angel of Storms is released to the world.
Bon Jour to all my French fans! I hope you enjoy the latest instalment of the Millennium's Rule trilogy.

Colleges: Too Close To Lenders?
Craig A. Green, director of financial aid at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, was incensed by a two-page ad that appeared in The New York Times on July 16. It accused schools of accepting cash and other benefits from lenders in return for throwing business their way. Since then, Green and dozens of other college financial aid officers have retaliated against the ad's sponsor, a small student loan company called MyRichUncle (UNCL ), by banning it from their conferences and, in Westminster's case, dropping it from their recommended lists. "They challenged our integrity," says Green.
Don't think this is just an intramural spat. If you have a child in college, the repercussions could have a big impact on his or her financial future. With the average price of a degree from a private college running $125,000, families are loading up on debt. The vast majority look no further than the handful of names on preferred-lender lists colleges compile to help students pick from among thousands of loan providers. While students aren't required to choose a preferred lender, many financial aid offices encourage them to do so, partly to ease their workloads. But shopping around could result in a better deal (table).
The controversy has helped propel student loans onto the radar screens of Congress and regulators. Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) is pushing a bill that would force schools to disclose gifts or benefits from lenders. The Education Dept. wants schools to list at least three lenders. And the New York Attorney General's office has requested information about preferred-lender lists from more than 60 colleges and 8 lenders, including Sallie Mae (SLM ) and Nelnet Inc. (NNI ), which say they're cooperating.
Many arrangements under scrutiny are tied to private loans. As the gap has widened between college costs and the $5,500 a year maximum undergrads can borrow in federal students loans, private loans, which often charge about four percentage points more, have come to comprise 20% of total borrowings, up from 5% a decade ago. As the private market expands, some fear potentially conflict-ridden practices could spread.
Financial aid officers contend that MyRichUncle has blown problems out of proportion to help its efforts to market directly to consumers. MyRichUncle President Raza Khan insists he acted out of outrage: "We opened a lot of people's eyes."
Among the incentives under fire are payments some schools receive from lenders based on the amounts students borrow in the private market. While it's illegal for schools to make money from students' federal loan applications, there are no such curbs on private loans. Education Finance Partners Inc., a private loan company in San Francisco, pays about 300 schools a percentage--under 1%--of student borrowings. The percentage rises as students borrow more. Many schools that list the company as a preferred lender, including Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I., Fordham University in New York City, and Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore., say they've used the funds for scholarships. The amounts involved, from $3,600 for Lewis & Clark to $26,000 for Salve Regina, are too small to influence their decisions regarding lenders, the schools say.
Still, two of these schools have recently stopped the payments. Fordham, which received $14,000 in one year, acted because of a "public perception that we are doing something inappropriate," says Angela Van Dekker, assistant vice-president for student financial services. After BusinessWeek contacted Lewis & Clark, it returned past payments and stopped future ones.
Schools also benefit from "opportunity" loans. In some cases, lenders set aside money so schools can direct private loans to students who would otherwise fail to qualify. Such perks can "be used as an incentive to encourage a school to put a lender first on a preferred list," says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org. Joyce Hall, executive director of Purdue University's division of financial aid, says at Purdue such loans are too few--only 154 of 39,000 students have one--to "be a primary reason to select one lender over another."
Also on regulators' watch list are practices that discourage shopping around. Lasell College in Newton, Mass., asks families not to apply to any lender other than Citizens Bank, which handles 90% of Lasell's federal loans. Doing so "will delay the processing and delivery of funds," its Web site says. "We don't restrict students' choices," says Michele R. Kosboth, director of student financial planning. Lasell uses an electronic system to certify loans from Citizens and paper for many others, which can lead to delays of up to a month.
Some schools even steer families away from certain lenders. Creda Camacho, director of financial aid at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Mass., told a MyRichUncle employee in a voice-mail on Nov. 30: "We do not work with MyRichUncle." Citing regulations that require schools to certify loans from a student's choice of lender, MyRichUncle appealed to college president Stan Trecker. "We initially erred in that response," Trecker told BusinessWeek. "We have made it clear to our financial aid staff that we need to be open to any lender."

Yeast Infection Or Something Worse?
Patient : Hi Doc. Im a 28year old male. I have these round white, used to be red, wounds or sores on my penis head, they don't hurt, itch nor post any other problems. They're just there. I have been with my girlfriend for 2years now (she was a virgin), and these sores has been there before, just not for this long, or this bad. My girlfriend do not have any problems (she was just at her gynecologist and she said my girlfriend doesn't have anything). Her gynecologist also said she couldn't think of anything else but a yeast infection. I have been washing my penis for as long as I can remember with soap, so I have ruled out that thats the problem. So my question is, what could it be?

Chapter 24 (The missing part of Chapter 23)
Sasuke groaned and pulled away from Naruto and opened the door.
"What-… Sakura?" Sasuke said looking down at the girl.
"Gomennasai." Sakura bowed. "If Sasuke is happy, then I should be happy even if that means you're with Naruto."
"Did you just get out of your punishment?"
"Yes, and I see now how immature I was being." She turned to Naruto, who glaring at her. "I'm sorry for everything I did to you, Naruto. I know you can never forgive me but… well I just wanted to say that I was sorry." Naruto remained glaring at her.
"Sakura, I can never forgive the shit you put me through. The old me would of just killed you." Sakura flinched, she saw Naruto didn't have her bracelets on anymore. "But that's not me anymore. I'll spare you this time, but do that ever again and I will kill you." Sakura smiled.
"I won't. And maybe one day we can become friends."
Sasuke smiled, they were finally getting along. And he was free of Sakura's fan girl-ness. Things were turning out get. After they all collected Naruto's stuff and moved it into Sasuke's house. Naruto and Sakura became great friends just like back when they were kids. And after a week or so Sakura asked Lee out and fell in love with him. Sasuke and Naruto stayed together through thick and thin loving and caring for each other. They went on missions together and team 7 was reunited. But this wasn't one of those happy ending stories because true love doesn't have an ending, true love doesn't end. This was just the beginning and nothing was gonna stop them this time.
"Hello little brother. Naruto." Itachi smirked.
"Itachi." Sasuke glared.
"My, my, Naruto you've grown. Why not come back to Akatsuki we could use you?"
"Never." She glared.
"Well then, if you won't join us… then I'll have to take the other mission and capture the Kyuubi holder." Itachi smirked getting into fight stance. Naruto and Sasuke smirked and looked at each other. They nodded.
"Bring it." They said in unison before charging at Itachi.
The End.
I am soooooo sorry! I guess this part of the story was cut off on Chapter 23. This was supposed to be the end of Chapter 23 but well now it's 24. Likely people reviewed cuz I was like "What? I told them the story ended, why do they want more?" I was sooo confused, but now I see my mistake, I'm sorry readers! :D
But now I can't believe it's finally over *sigh*. Or maybe it's not? I'm think of a sequel but I wanted to start another story oh well whatever. :D hope you enjoy "Akatsuki Naruto."

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of AMC's runaway success show The Walking Dead, the graphic novel adaptation of the popular series of the same name by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. Holding the title of highest viewership ever for a cable show, The Walking Dead has become the crown jewel for network AMC, who has spun a tale that runs closely to the comics while changing certain aspects around to make the story more palatable for network television.
But things nearly turned out very different for The Walking Dead. Before the show ended up with AMC, showrunner Frank Darabont already had a deal with NBC in place, to whom he presented the first copy of the Pilot script.
But NBC had very different ideas for the overall concept of The Walking Dead, as show EP Gale Anne Hurd revealed at the Edinburgh Intl. TV Festival last week. According to Hurd, NBC's initial reaction to The Walking Dead Pilot was to ask:
"Do there have to be zombies [in it]?"
Do There Have To Be Zombies In It?
For a show named The Walking Dead — which bases its entire premise upon the fact that a zombie apocalypse has taken place — you'd think zombies would be a pretty key element of the whole thing.
Of course, the show itself is less concerned with the zombies themselves — they're more of a necessarily evil to set the ground for the harsh world in which our survivors have to try to, well, survive. It's the presence of other desperate people and brutal groups that cause the real problems for the group, as well as the pressures that come with a life-changing event that forces ordinary people to come together to survive.
As Hurd pointed out:
"It's not about the zombies, it's about the humans. What attracted me to [Robert Kirkman's] comic book series is that it is a story about characters on a journey into this new world, and constantly trying to figure out not only how to survive but what's important to them, and some characters give up, some characters commit suicide, and they are constantly evolving, they are constantly meeting new characters; they have to determine friend or foe, and very quickly we realize that it is not the zombies you have to be afraid of, it's the other humans."
But without zombies providing the proverbial stick in this metaphor, the human drama that drives the show wouldn't really be there. Sure, a nuclear or climate change apocalypse would create a similar world, but zombies add another layer of humanity to the drama through the way they are used to explore the human psyche.
Would we all, stripped of humanity, become the Walking Dead, as the Whisperers do in the post-time skip in The Walking Dead comic books? And how would we react when faced with a monster wearing the body of our friends, family and loved ones? Though the core of the show is human-driven drama, without the zombies it wouldn't be The Walking Dead.

A Zombie Crime Show?
The mystery deepens. Following the discussion about whether or not The Walking Dead really needed to feature the walking dead, NBC then enquired if the show could be run in a procedural format featuring — get this — two main protagonists who would solve zombie crimes. As Variety reports:
NBC then asked Darabont if the show could be a procedural in which the two main protagonists would "solve a zombie crime of the week," [Hurd] said.
Putting aside the fact that this sounds almost exactly like the plot of the tongue-in-cheek iZombie, it's a bafflingly weird concept to apply to a show like The Walking Dead — especially when looking at the source material. Perhaps it was the violence of the comics that put NBC off doing a true adaptation, but then they ran shows like Hannibal, so maybe not.
So, thankfully for the show, NBC passed on producing The Walking Dead, allowing Darabont to take it to AMC. The rest, as they say, is history. Violent, zombie-themed history. But this does beg the question: What if NBC had got its way with adapting The Walking Dead?
What Could The Walking Dead Have Looked Like?
Main Cast:
- Nathan Fillion as Sheriff Rick Grimes: A small town sheriff forced to step up and take responsibility of his estranged young son after his wife runs off with his former best friend. As a cache of zombie-crime starts breaking out across his county and the power goes out, he stumbles into being put in charge of a group of assorted survivors — stepping up in an attempt to win back the respect of his ex-wife.
- Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Detective Michonne: A take-no-shit boss bitch, the quiet and deadly Michonne is a disgraced former detective who is convinced by Rick to pick up her badge again to help him solve the rash of zombie-crimes breaking out across America. There's something growing between them for sure, but can they make it work when Rick is still pining for his ex-wife?
- Ki Hong Lee as Glenn Rhee: Rick's highly competent sidekick, Glenn, is a former track runner, which means he gets sent out on various dangerous tasks to support Rick and Michonne. He's super in love with Maggie Greene, the popular girl in school who never really noticed him until he was one of the last men in the world.
- Alexandra Daddario as Maggie Greene: Former prom queen Maggie has to adapt quickly when the zombie outbreak begins and she loses her family to the virus. These events bring out a strength she never knew she had, and she begins looking at old acquaintances in a different light in the new world.
- Silas Weir Mitchell as Daryl Dixon: A wacky bounty hunter with a heart of gold, Daryl is the social outcast of the group until they begin to look past his gruff exterior. There's probably a scene where he rescues some kittens or babies or something to prove his worth.
- Yvette Nicole Brown as Carol Peletier: Daryl's friend and confidant, Carol is a strong independent woman who don't need no man — but she does need the de-facto family she finds in the survivors group.
- David Caruso as Abraham Ford: The redheaded stepchild of the group, Abraham is a washed out drill sergeant who can't let go of the glory days. Thankfully there's plenty of work to be done for a man with Abraham's set of skills in this new world — if he can stop arguing with Daryl long enough to get to work.
- Jonah Hill as Eugene Porter: The bumbling comic relief of the group, Eugene is incredibly smart but not so good with expressing his genius, so everyone tends to overlook his ideas. He keeps things ticking over in the background though, unbeknownst to everyone else.

Hmm, looking back at that, it's probably a good thing that NBC didn't get its way after all.
Do you think The Walking Dead would've worked as a "zombie crime" show? Who would you have cast for the NBC version? Have your say in the comments, and check out the nail-biting Season 7 trailer below!

I'm not so certain I would call the consequences of ones actions misfortune, as in the examples above. So to take delight in those would be based more on revenge, taking up someone else's case, or righteous indignation (anger).
So what is misfortune?
# unnecessary and unforeseen trouble resulting from an unfortunate event
# an unfortunate state resulting from unfavorable outcomes
# bad luck; an undesirable event such as an accident
So why would one take delight in misfortune?
October 31st, 2008, 01:58 AM #5So why would one take delight in misfortune?
But, for a more scientific perspective, here is Wiki's take on it (Scroll down the page on Schadenfreude [link in OP] to see original):
A New York Times article in 2002 cited a number of scientific studies of schadenfreude, which it defined as "delighting in others' misfortune." Many such studies are based on social comparison theory, the idea that when people around us have bad luck, we look better to ourselves. Other researchers have found that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are people who have high self-esteem.[19]
One recent (2006) experiment suggests that men, but not women, enjoy seeing "bad" people suffer. The study was designed to measure empathy, by watching which brain centers are stimulated when subjects inside an MRI observe someone having a painful experience. Researchers expected that the brain's empathy center would show more stimulation when those seen as "good" got an electric shock than they would if the shock was given to someone the subject had reason to consider bad. This was indeed the case, but for male subjects the brain's pleasure centers also lit up when someone else got a shock that the male thought was well-deserved.

If we come upon a horrible auto accident, why do most of us look? Is it to take delight in the plight of a stranger, or does it somehow elevate us above the circumstances of others to make us feel that we're ok/not suffering/not dead?
October 31st, 2008, 04:19 AM #7So your hypothesis is that the motivation is unimportant but the [natural] result of schadenfreude is all that counts and is a basis for prosecution? I believe this is a contorted example of schadenfreude. If OJ Simpson, for instance, was involved in an auto accident that broke his neck, rendering him a quadriplegic, you might take delight in his misfortune because of your opinion of him as a result of his history. But a guilty verdict as a consequence of his actions is hardly misfortune.
As for "prosecution" I'm not sure what you're getting at. Properly-operating prosecutors don't open cases just "for the lulz" (nor do they refuse to open them if they can't get a thrill out of it)...and schadenfreude doesn't require a prosecution in order to happen.

A guilty verdict (if deserved) serves the defendant right (it's cognized as appropriate). And it results in his/her suffering, assuming the sentence isn't a slap-wrist one. Feeling pleasure over his predicament is therefore schadenfreude.
But I must note that getting busted and convicted fits Sense 2 of your own definition of "misfortune"--even though arguing about the definition of misfortune is about as worthwhile as arguing over what the meaning of "is" is.
You are the one contorting things and trying to add strictures to the definition of schadenfreude, perhaps in an effort to convince yourself you don't feel it. You shouldn't be so uncomfortable with your own humanity! "A rose by any other name" is still a rose. Coming up with a whitewash-term for it doesn't change the underlying reaction.

I must say, your car-accident scenarios (both this and the O.J. scenario) are pretty extreme (geez what roads do you drive on that are so accident-filled?!). In my experience, there usually isn't any physical maiming involved in a situation where I'd feel schadenfreude, let alone the major or even fatal damage your scenarios envision.
And if I get schadenfreude over a stranger, it's usually because he did something stupid like try to wash his engine with a high-pressure hose and expected it to start again soon. Nothing permanent, he was just a moron and ended up having to stand in the car wash for 6-10 hours waiting for the wiring to dry back out (In other words, it's usually the other situation the philosopher mentioned: When it's a trivial discomfort to the other guy.)
As for people I know (or know about), yes I do believe that, for example, my reaction to Eliot Spitzer's downfall qualifies 100% as Schadenfreude of the highest order. There's nothing like seeing a hypocritical, high-horsing, holier-than-thou, sh*tstain like that come crashing down. And on national television no less! The only sad part is that I'm sure he did plenty of worse stuff (those kind always do loads of rot, although sometimes it takes years to become evident).
But usually the events aren't nearly so spectacular. My schadenfreude is usually from something like a competing site, ending up at the bottom of the engine...a merchant I didn't like getting totally blasted here...some jerk who raced by me on a road in an icestorm, ending up stuck in a snowbank...stuff like that.

It does seem to be hard-wired into us to a certain extent.
We definitely feel better for the fact that misfortune occured to someone else and not us.
It's probably part of the early survival mechanisms that became ingrained in our DNA - fight or flight and all that.

A bull fighter getting gored by a bull would set my schadenfreude DNA spinning in glee or something unfortunate, although still funny because it didn't do damage or cause suffering happening to someone I thought deserved to be "punished" is always sweet, too. Otherwise, schadenfreude is a human "trait" I find hard to understand or accept. Kind of barbaric IMO.

It doesn't make you feel good or better, it makes you feel, well, Schadenfreude. It's a cocktail of feelings. With a good shot of smug satisfaction in there somewhere.
I know what you mean. Not one of our more endearing instincts.

The first time I tried to wash my engine with a garden hose, I did get all the wiring wet and my car didn't start, but since I did it on my driveway, I was able to use a hair drier to dry those cables in less than 10 minutes and then drive away.
So I was not a moron, maybe just ½ a moron.

Differences in surrounding circumstances, or past history with the person, are key to whether they will get my sympathy, a neutral "meh, shit happens," or my schadenfreude-fueled laughter.
For instance, someone getting rooked out of his commission is usually something I find bad and unpleasurable.
On the other hand, some CROOK getting ripped off by his (unbeknownst to him) equally-or-even-more-crooked-than-him "cool with everything, even illegal stuff" network, now THAT is funny. Same with most cases of scammers getting themselves scammed, by even better scammers. Much better than a boring FBI raid, IMO!
Kind of barbaric IMO.
Otherwise, schadenfreude is a human "trait" I find hard to understand or accept.
I think traits that actually *cause* harm are far more worthy of concern.

The ones I'm talking about do it in a commercial, self-serve car wash. So they have no way to fast-dry their wires, and either end up stuck there for hours, or have to get a ride. And, because it's a high-pressure setup, their wires are really soaked, which makes it take much longer than it would with a regular hose.
Although I do have to wonder what the point is in washing an engine...it's not like anybody's going to see it

Well as a woman here I can say honestly, that I do get a kick sometimes out of peoples misfortunes, some more than others. I can rarely say that I feel bad for someone who has come across misfortune. I am a straight believer in Karma, so if a adult be it a male or female has a streak of bad luck, it makes me think and if I know the person it can make me giggle internally. Like my own misfortunes are brought on by me and I accept the fact that some people are smiling.Wear Short Sleeves!!! Support the right to bare arms!

I think one of the best simple examples is someone hitting their funny bone. We laugh, but know it hurts. It was accidental and usually not through their own direct actions.
October 31st, 2008, 09:48 AM #17
My husbands best friend has the worst luck you have ever ever seen, and I absolutely love to hear what bad has happened to this man only because if you knew him he is a complete jerk. But I do think you would laugh at his mishaps, 1. He bought a stolen gift card off of some one he paid $500 for $1000.00 when he went to the store the card only had $20.00 then 2 nights later he was on the news. Then he bought a big screen tv off of the street, the next night it shorted a fuse in his house and a electrician had to come in and do rewiring. He bought a car from california, he never got the title, only had a bill of sale, the owner of the car lot filed bancruptcy and after he spent over $4000.00 on his car the bank or the court? came and took his car. His list goes on and on and boy would you laugh but the majority of his misfortunes are 100% Karma related.Wear Short Sleeves!!! Support the right to bare arms!

I guess the "mom" in me won't let me be happy about anyone's else's misfortune. I like to see Karma in action, but I am sad that someone behaved in a way that Karma gave them a slap. It makes me sigh, not excited.
I would rather celebrate people's fortune.

As I was telling Hster this morning I had been surfing and found this word.
I didn't know what it meant so I Googled it and came up with that link.
Found it very odd so I thought I share with ABWers.
No hidden agenda.
October 31st, 2008, 11:38 AM #21
I think schadenfreude comes into play on ABW at times when an unsuspecting newbie shows up spamming or cookie stuffing, or has a stupid website, and ends up in a shark attack. Sometimes the schadenfreude comments abound...

Can't agree with you there.
I'm convinced people are inherently good. (Apart from a very few individuals who are genuinely evil.)
When most people hurt their fellow men it's because they're hurting inside for some reason, and they're trying to direct the pain outwards away from themselves. Or they're trapped in patterns of behaviour they've acquired along the way and don't know how to break out of. These people can be helped. Anything that has been learned can be unlearned.
As for skunks, now that's another matter. Absolutely beyond redemption.
October 31st, 2008, 01:23 PM #24
Perhaps "evil" is a little strong and "not good" or "bad" would have been more appropriate.
But at the risk of treading in taboo territory, I'll just say that if man is inherently good there would be no need for [or desire for] the Gospel and redemption. I'm not talking about "religion" either. And that's my last and only response about that...

You Can Get More Flies with Honey, But Who Wants Flies?
Catching flies with honey essentially means "be sweet" to get the things you need. In this new age, young women want to "fight fire with fire" when it comes to their men. Somehow the liberation in the male dominated workforce has misled women to use the same tactics in their homes. BATTLE! I couldn't disagree more. Now, I have battled my share of men in the boardroom. I have let F-bombs fly and insulted their character and intelligence if neccessary. But in relationships, I take a different approach.
When a fire blazes, you fight it with water - disarm it. God has given women a very lethal dose of power in our femininity. If you don't like something your man has done, don't yell, scream, and criticize him about it. All he will hear is "You're wrong. You're bad. You're inadequate." The male ego is very fragile. Black men, in particular, face battle and pressure all day so if you bring the drama, they will see you as the enemy - at least for that moment. As women we need to learn to communicate in a way that he can hear us. A man's ears are designed to shut down to loud criticism and insults from a woman. If you ask me, the best time to tell your man that you don't like his behavior (or ask for a new designer bag) is after sex....he'll straighten right up! If you argue that this is manipulative, I'll retort that manipulation is an intentional behavior to control or misuse someone. I'm talking about genuine love and hot sex that both YOU and your man want at the moment.
I can recall a situation where my man was coming home an hour later than when he told me he would be home. I was heated, to say the least. Based upon his past he was expecting a battle when he walked in the door, so he came in the door with a frown and angrily said, "Guaranteed I'm coming home to some bull$*! everyday." I extended a loving smile, took a deep breathe and sweetly instructed him to get in the shower. He stood there for a moment waiting for me to explode, but I explained to him..... "I know you are wrong and I know that YOU know you are wrong so why discuss it, honey?" The steam in the shower obviously cleared his head. He came out with a "Baby, I'm really sorry. Next time I'll call when I have to stop."
Done! That's all I wanted...and apology and a change in behavior for next time. Had I pounced on him when he came in the door I never would have gotten it. He may have given a half hearted apology after I verbally beat it out of him, but the next time he would have done the same thing OR he would have resentfully come right home - which I didn't want either. The night ended with a movie, some hugs, kisses, and lots of jokes. I was happy. He was happy. We were happy together.
DISCLAIMER: If a you are in a relationship with a man that doesn't respond to your "honey" and continues to misuse you....Get movin'! Any "good" man will respond to a woman's vulnerability and femininity in a positive way. A man who loves you doesn't want to hurt or upset you. He doesn't WANT to disappoint you.

While most schools across the metro were closed Tuesday for a snow day, one middle school kept their doors open.
But there were no students showing up at Grain Valley Middle School. Instead, the district is holding a special election asking voters to approve a $3.8 million bond to add more rooms in the high school and improve the security system at six school buildings that would add air-lock doors between the office and the hallway.
This would keep the public and more importantly a potential threat from walking straight into the building before having to pass through the office first.
"With the weather, I knew that I needed to get out early while my kids are still in bed enjoying their snow day. Then, I will go back and do the same thing, but I know it's going to be a struggle for a lot of people to get out, so I wanted to make sure I made it out here first," voter Michelle Kennedy said.
Voters Jim Henson and his wife, Shirley, say the trick is to vote early to beat Mother Nature before she really socks us with slippery roads.
"We did not hesitate ... just important for our school. (Driving in the snow) didn't bother me at all, because I had a chauffeur," Shirley Henson said.
Even with the powerful snow storm moving in, district officials decided to not reschedule the election.
District officials say they would incur a lot more expense since the district has to pay the cost of holding the special election. And waiting until April would impact construction of the project.
"The whole reason they go in February is so that the project, if passed, it can move along so that they have time to get it built over the summer. So that it is ready for school in August. That is why they don't do it in April in the first place. Waiting really doesn't delay it a couple of months, it delays it completion of the project the entire year," said Jerry Vaughan, district director of Education Foundation.
There are 10,000 registered voters who can have their say on this issue. The polls are open until 7 p.m.

Published: Thursday 12th February 2015 by The News Editor
Harry Kane looks set to be included in the next England squad after Roy Hodgson hailed the young Tottenham striker's recent form.
Kane was nowhere near the national squad reckoning this time last year, but he is now the most in-form English front man in the Barclays Premier League.
The 21-year-old has bagged an impressive 23 goals in 35 matches this season and his progress has not gone unnoticed by the England manager.
Hodgson is wary of raising expectation levels too high regarding the combative striker, but he admits that on current form he will find it hard to overlook Kane when he selects his squad for the matches against Lithuania and Italy next month.
When asked if Kane is ready to play for England, Hodgson said: "Yes.
"Is he worth a place in the squad now? Of course he is. We bought a lot of young players in during my time, we had Saido Berahino in the last squad. He certainly deserves a place in the squad as much as say Saido did.
"Is he worthy of a place like Wayne Rooney, (Danny) Welbeck and (Daniel) Sturridge? That's something he'll have to prove.
"But unless I give him a chance in the squad he'll never get a chance to prove that anyway.
"I like to think I do show a certain degree of loyalty to players who have been playing for a while and who I know I can trust.
"But I also like to think that I'm prepared to give someone a chance when he's really showing with his current form that he's worthy of a place with us."
Kane first appeared on Hodgson's radar just under two years ago when he took charge of the England Under-21 team for a solitary match following the departure of Stuart Pearce.
Kane had to make do with a second-half substitute appearance in the 6-0 thrashing of Scotland as Hodgson preferred the likes of Connor Wickham and Jonjo Shelvey.
But the Spurs man is now streets ahead of those two in the pecking order.
"We didn't select him as first-choice (with the Under-21s)," Hodgson said.
"But there's no doubt he's moved on enormously from there.
"I think he's got the qualities that you're looking for in a centre forward.
"If you can be a star at a top team like Tottenham at the age of 21 then you're doing pretty well."
Hodgson admitted last year that there was a dearth of talented young forwards available to him, which led to Rickie Lambert being handed his international debut.
But now the former Fulham boss has Kane, the uncapped Danny Ings – who Hodgson name-dropped at a briefing in London on Thursday – and Berahino pushing for a place in his squad for the qualifier against Lithuania on March 27 and the friendly in Turin four days later.
Fellow uncapped duo Ryan Mason from Tottenham and Liverpool's Jordan Ibe are also in with a shout of being in the squad for the upcoming double-header, which is announced on March 19.
"Danny Ings has impressed me. I think we need to keep an eye on him," Hodgson added of the 22-year-old striker, who has scored nine goals for Burnley this season.
"John Stones who is now back from injury, that's good news for us. I am lucky at the moment, quite a few players have already started to make their mark.
"Ryan Mason another one, I like the look of him as well. Jordan Ibe is very young and we have a lot of young players like that he would have to jump over. "
The emergence of the likes of Ings, Kane and Berahino puts Wayne Rooney's role within the team under more scrutiny.
Rooney, England's third-highest scorer of all time, has been playing in centre midfield for Manchester United.
But when he reports for England duty, he looks likely to be moved up front.
"I don't necessarily think (midfield) will be his best position for us and I don't have any immediate plans to play him there but who knows? I will never say never," Hodgson added.
"He's a goalscorer isn't he? So one always likes to see one's goalscorers in positions where they can get into the box and in and around the box."

So, being a huge Grant Morrison fan, I loved his New X-Men run. It was one of the few times I've actually cared enough about the X-Men comics to get excited about them. I've sampled some other stuff afterward, but, outside of Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, very little of it has had any appeal to me.
Took me awhile, but I eventually figured out why. It was because I didn't need to read anymore X-Men comics since Morrison had, to me, produced superior versions all of the basic X-Men stories, from recycled Sentinels to destruction of the school to even a space based story, so that any other stories from other writers that I would read would be inferior.
Since Marvel and DC recycle stories for all of their characters, once you've read the big, important ones, what more do you need to read? The same goes with, say, Superman and Batman. Once you've read enough of the "must reads", you don't really need to read anymore unless 1) you love the character or 2) a writer whose work you enjoy is writing the character.
Batman vs. The Ultimate Villain
Why hasn't Batman fought the ultimate villain yet? A Zombie Alien Nazi Cyborg Vampire. Why, I ask. Why? It would be awesome.
"Ongoing Creative Team"
When Marvel and DC announce a new ongoing creative team for a book, what they really announce most of the time is the new ongoing writer and the artist for the first arc, if that. Recent examples include just about every Batman title in the post-RIP relaunch and Ultimate Comics Avengers.
I really wish they would be more honest about this stuff. There are very few artists who can do more than one arc on a book before either there is a fill in or a new artist takes over. It would make a lot more sense, to me, if Marvel and DC announced that the artist was only doing one arc and mention whatever artist is doing the second arc. It would be an easy way to mitigate some disappointment among fans while keeping some positive buzz going on books with these rotating creative teams.
The Walking Dead
I managed to check out the first hardcover for Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead and, unlike the trades, it came with extras in the back. There was an essay in the back by Kirkman in which he described The Walking Dead as a post-zombie movie story which struck me as odd. To me, The Walking Dead seemed like just another zombie story, like dozens of others out there. Now, this isn't a slight against Kirkman, but I would be intrigued by a post-zombie infestation/invasion story so I was a little disappointed that The Walking Dead didn't offer that.
Grant Morrison's Marvel
Grant Morrison generally gets a lot of praise for his DC and Vertigo work but, for me, his best stuff was when he was at Marvel. Specifically, New X-Men and Marvel Boy. They are just so vibrant and full of energy. They are some of my favorite works from him and I really wish that he some day returns to work at Marvel. He just seems to be more free, creatively, than when working at DC or, possibly, doesn't hold the characters with the same Silver Age reverence as he does with many of DC's properties.

Wonder Woman Renumbering And Second Ongoing
Recently, I have seen a lot of fan talk about either renumbering Wonder Woman to #600 when the series reaches the issue, giving her a second going series or both.
Fans argue that Wonder Woman is important and deserves to have here series numbered similar to Batman and Superman. They also argue that a big anniversary issues will draw in new readers, which is true, but the series has bigger, and more fundamental, problems than an anniversary issue can fix.
Wonder Woman #33, the issue and finale of the Rise of The Olympians arc, was #61 on the sales chart and outsold by Thor: Trial of Thor (#60), Punisher #6 (#59), Action Comics Annual #12 (#58), Skaar: Son of Hulk #12 (#57) and Marvel Zombies 4 #3 (#56). Her book was outsold by a meaningless one-shot (Thor), the Punisher, and a Hulk spin-off. An anniversary issue is just going to be a temporary fix, if that. This is also why she shouldn't get a second ongoing since she can barely support the one she has.
Some fans will argue that Wonder Woman is important, which is true, so that should override sales factors, at least in the short term. Well, no. Important characters are not always relevant characters, which both Superman and the Fantastic Four have to deal with constantly. After all, Superman only has two titles right now, unlike the four he had in the 90s.
Yes, she has always been one of the only female superheroes to be in constant or near constant publication, which does grant her a degree of credibility in the sustainability regard, but it does not give her relevance, which the character is desperately lacking.
If the character becomes relevant again, or at least to the point that more people know her for her comics or stories than her Diana Carter pin-up days, then maybe giving her a second series or renumbering her book would make a bit more sense and be a little bit more justifiable.
Of course, this would mean that DC would have to figure out what they want to do with the character, which they are chronically unable to do, and then figure out away to successfully market their new direction. Perhaps if Grant Morrison was given an All Star Wonder Woman title or other project with her, as he speculated on for a potential future project at one point, this might change things. Otherwise, it will be same ol', same ol'. The new animated feature was a step in the right direction, too, but very little follow up on it and comics that don't even reflect it.
Comic Book Renumbering
Speaking of comic book numbering and renumbering, I don't think it's as big a deal to me as it is to some fans. Honestly, I'm fine with Marvel and DC rebooting all of their books every 50 to 100 issues. It's a way to reinvigorate a book, draw in new readers and separate one writer's run from another. For example, when Geoff Johns eventually leaves Green Lantern, the title should definitely be rebooted. It is an easy way to demarcate Johns's run from whoever follows and, again, is a very easy way to signal a fresh start.
That said, I think their are a couple of titles that should keep their full numbering, for either one of two reason. The first are books with some historical significance. They would be Action Comics, Detective Comics, and Fantastic Four. Action Comics introduced Superman, Detective Comics is where DC gets it's name from, and The Fantastic Four was the book Marvel launched with in the Silver Age. Superman, Batman, Uncanny X-Men, and Amazing Spider-Man should also keep their numbering since they are their respective companies biggest characters and franchises.

Distributing speech voice from my pc to another
Hello all, I downloaded a program that speaks bulgarian text and it installs voice in Control Panel -> Speech Recognition -> Text To Speech and allows you to choose the bulgarian voice. So I want to use the voice in my application and the other people to use it. But they need to have the voice, otherwise the speech won't work. Where exactly are the voice files contained (Windows folder, registry...) and is there any way to copy them from my PC and to put the files in another PC, so the voice can work? Thanks for any help!

It's probably easiest to just download and install the program on the other PCs.

Yes, it is easy but I want to bypass that if there is an option. The best solution is to copy the voice files from my PC to another one. I just don't know where these files are.

text: I set my alarm inadvertently to vibrate and when the alarm went off I tried dismissing the alarm with the slider but the phone kept vibrating. This seems to happen every time the alarm is set to vibrate the only way I can stop it, is by hitting the sleep button at the top of the phone. Other than that the phone would keep vibrating. This doesn't happen when the alarm is audible. All i have to do is slide the dismiss slider and the alarm turns off. Anyone else having this problem? And if so are there any fixes?

The victim and her family are fighting back, saying the rapist is only showing interest in the family now that the child support bill is coming due.
"She got raped at 14. She decided to keep her baby. And now she has to hand her baby over for a visit with her rapist?" the victim's mother said. The teen mother, who still suffers from severe anxiety and depression, says she's terrified at the thought of having to face the man who raped and impregnated her to arrange for visitation rights.
"He threatened me. He told me that he could make my life upside down, and I wouldn't have anybody and he would pin it all on me. So I was scared," she told FOX Undercover reporter Mike Beaudet. It happened when she was in eighth grade, just 14-years-old. He was a 20-year-old man she knew from her church, the boyfriend of her friend's older sister. When her mother found out, they went to the police to press charges. But she decided to keep the baby.
"Being Christian, the way I looked at it, the way I thought of it, this is a baby, an innocent person that didn't do anything wrong. Like, why should I take away that life?" she said. The man was charged with four counts of statutory rape of a child in 2009. Last year, he pleaded guilty to all the charges in Norfolk Superior Court. FOX Undercover isn't identifying the victim or the rapist to help protect her identity. The Norfolk prosecutor asked for a three to five year prison sentence. But Superior Court Judge Thomas McGuire sentenced him to 16 years of probation with the condition he acknowledges he's the father of the baby and abide by the probate and family court. The probate court ordered him to pay child support, opening the door for him to request visitation rights with the child.
"He hasn't cared up until now. Why should he now? She's three. She doesn't know who he is," the teen mother told FOX Undercover. The attorney for the man who admitted raping the teenager would not comment on his client's fight for visitation rights. But he did claim the relationship was consensual, even though he acknowledged it was inappropriate, given the victim was only 14 and his client was 20.
The family has hired attorney Wendy Murphy. "Why was this case sent to family court? This isn't a family situation..If the judge thinks this isn't as serious as a stranger rape, and if this is a judge saying to himself, 'I wouldn't have done this if it had been a stranger in a dark alley,' then that's a judge that maybe shouldn't be sitting on criminal cases because we got over that distinction I think 30 years ago." "What kind of legal system commands a toddler into a relationship with the man who raped her mother?" she asked.

There hasn't been much to cheer for in Buffalo through the first quarter of the 2016. The team has suffered a seemingly endless string of injuries that proceeded to keep the Sabres' most important players out of the lineup. If anything, Buffalo's goaltending has been nothing short of stellar, but when the team is averaging fewer than two goals a game, this bright spot appears distant and dim.
All of this changed on Nov. 29 when the team regained the services of sophomore sensation Jack Eichel. The clock had not ticked off ten minutes of his season debut, and the the young star already had a goal and an assist. Both points came on the power play.
In our recent piece, Buffalo's scoring woes were laid out in detail. The injury issues were certainly the disease, but the symptoms were varied and deep — a lack of chemistry in an ever-evolving lineup being chief amongst them. In the piece, Buffalo's points per game is discussed.
"Put into perspective, a half a goal better over Buffalo's 21 games would be approximately 10 goals. That would make Buffalo's differential minus-3, which would move them up four spots to around twentieth."
In essence, the team has been missing Eichel's 0.69 points per game in a bad way. Adding his 0.3 goals per game into the mix, and the team jumps even higher, edging ever closer to a playoff spot.
With Eichel's return, the Sabres not only get their leading goal scorer, but one of the team's strongest two-way players. More importantly, though, Buffalo's second line got their keystone back.
Sam Reinhart's stats have taken a huge dip without the Batman to his Robin. In his rookie season, Reinhart's shooting percentage was a nifty 13.9 percent. This season, without Eichel by his side, that has dipped five points to a much more pedestrian 8.9 percent.
Additionally, Reinhart's advanced statistics have nearly halved. His Relative Fenwick dropped from 4.3 to 2.1, a sure sign that he has been missing one of the league's most dependable players.
Evander Kane has suffered mightily in his first 11 games. Though he missed 11 games with a rib injury, his production of only two assists prior to Eichel's return is inexcusable. Without Eichel to anchor him, Kane has bounced around the lineup. While he has played on the top line with Ryan O'Reilly and Kyle Okposo, he found almost no chemistry there, and was passed by one this season's biggest surprises, Matt Moulson.
Much like Reinhart, Kane's advanced statistics have taken quite a hit. His impressive 7.8 relative Fenwick for in 2015-16 has sunk to 4.5. The 11 game sample size is small, of course, but the metrics are generally a good predictor — stretched out to 20 games, the probability for a sizeable increase without Eichel in the lineup is relatively low.
In Jack's return, both Reinhart and Kane added to their season stats, with the latter assisting the former on his fifth goal of the season. There was a definitive change in the Sabres overall. While Eichel and his linemates accounted for two of Buffalo's five goals, the outpouring of goalscoring marked only the second time this season that the Sabres reached the five goal mark.
The last time the Sabres scored five or more goals was Oct. 16 against the Edmonton Oilers, just days after the season started.
It was certainly one of Buffalo's most exciting and interesting games. The team carried play through the first period, and while they were pushed back onto their heels in the second, they finished strong and got the win in Eichel's first game back.
The former second overall pick had his thumbprint on the game from the drop of the puck to the final horn. Sabres fans could not be more happy that Jack is back. The team managed to stay afloat without him, but with his help, Buffalo is hoping to be well out of the basement by the holiday break.

The Stanford Cardinal needed to win four of their final five games in order to have a chance at going to the 2014 NCAA tournament. That stretch includes games against No. 4 Arizona Wildcats, the Colorado Buffaloes, the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Utah Utes. The five game stretch included a game against the No. 23 UCLA Bruins, but Stanford got off to a good start to the five game stretch, by beating the Bruins.
The Cardinal just couldn't miss. They went 62 percent from the floor and 55 percent from three-point range compared to 45 percent from the floor and 33 percent from three points range for UCLA. Casson Randle had 26 points and Josh Huestis had 22 in a must-win game for Stanford; the Cardinal stepped up when they had to. Steve Alford has done a fantastic job with the Bruins so far, but it wasn't good enough to beat Stanford, who won 83 – 74.
Stanford deserves to go to the 2014 NCAA tournament. It has eight losses, but it has wins over good teams that include the Connecticut Huskies and now UCLA. The Cardinal lost to the Michigan Wolverines by three, as well as Arizona by three; they could pull of some major upsets in the tournament.
Stanford is considered a fringe bubble team at the moment, but the win over UCLA means that their 2014 NCAA tournament dreams are far from over. The PAC-12 is heating up, and Stanford may be the new second best team in the conference.

1958 Williams Turf Champ Pinball Machine with a Six-Horse Animated Horse Race on the Playfield: And they're off! If you are a horseracing fan, love horses, or just like animated arcade and pinball machines from the 50's, Turf Champ may be the answer for you. The graphics depict horses and horseracing on the backglass, playfield, and best of all, in an animated six-horse horserace that progresses in the center of the playfield as you are playing the game! T are six horses that reset back to the starting line (nearest to the bottom of the playfield) and then "run" down the track as you hit certain targets on the playfield. The first one to reach the finish line (towards the top of the playfield) is the winner, while the second and third horses to finish "place" and "show," just like in real horseracing! At the start of each game, YOU are allowed to pick which horse will be yours to try and win the race. If your selected horse wins the race (or places or shows,) you are awarded free games depending upon how well you did. The number of free games is based on the final position of your horse. This machine is also very unique in that it doesn't count a score during the game! The play is COMPLETELY centered around the animated horserace. T is a nice strategy (and some skill) involved in trying to make your selected horse run down the track ... read more

1. Minneapolis was laid out in 1866 by Israel Markley, Elijah Smith, Dr. James McHenry, A.C. Stull and A.J. Smith. It was first called "Markley Mills," because Mr. Markley built a grist mill at that point in 1866. In that same year the county seat was brought there from Ayersburg by vote of the people. At the same time Col. John Kerwin moved his store from Fort Solomon. The town was incorporated as a city of the third class in 1870. The first hotel was opened in 1870 an the first bank established in 1875. The railroad was built in 1878.
