Mother's Day Gift Guide {Olympus Stylus Tough Digital Camera}
Olympus Stylus Tough Digital Camera, was something Santa brought me this past Christmas. So far I love it. It is waterproof, smash proof, drop proof, crush proof and most importantly, kid proof. It is small enough to slip in my pocket or the side of our diaper bag and it is so easy to use. I can turn it on, zoom and take a picture all while holding a baby. It's the perfect gift for the mom who is always on the go.

I do not recommend this mattress whatsoever. It started sagging on both sides months after we got it. We went *** and thought it was comfortable. Got home and found it (similar) on Overstock for nearly half price. We are very disappointed. Read the reviews on the Consumer Affairs website. At the time of this review, there are 161 posts all with nearly the exact same experience. Mattress sags after only a few months, hump in middle, pay *** to have technician come out and test, receive letter days later denying your claim b/c it passed measurement test and youre stuck with it. We purchased the Guardsman extra warranty which I just now read the coverage and found you are basically paying *** for someone to come out and clean a single stain. They provide you with their own brand waterproof mattress cover which needs to be on at the time of stain occurrence, however, they will NOT replace your mattress. If they cant clean it, they give your *** back. ***. We got rid of a *** for this nonsense! Beware.Read More
After reading the reviews about this mattress I was kind of hesitant about purchasing it. Im not the one to buy over people reviews, so I went for the purchase and to my beliefs,I am very pleased. This is a great and comfortable mattress. Its kind of firm but its great compared to my old, squeaky mattress. My daughter slept on it for the first time and I was impressed that she slept longer than usual. I would've gave it an "excellent" on the quality, but I only have slept on it once.Read More
I have had the Serta Revolution super pillow top firm mattress for about two months as of 11/2013. I wanted a firm support without causing pressure point issues. We decided on this pillow top to add a little cushion on top of a firm mattress. I really would not consider this mattress firm. We have the Cal King. The feel of it is pretty plush. I kind of sink into it and I am only 115 pounds. The nice thing is my husband can be on the other side and I don't really feel him bouncing around like I did with our old mattress. He thinks that there is a bump in the middle of our mattress. It mentioned having extra support there but it seems like he might be right. It kind of raises in the middle. It is so hard to find the perfect mattress. I would have probably exchanged this mattress but the restock fee makes it to difficult. Its an ok mattress but I wouldn't buy it again.Read More

New CEO and President at Ricoh as Company Seeks to 'Tackle Decline in Office Printing'
Ricoh Company of Japan reports that it's appointed Yoshinori Yamashita as its new CEO and president, as well as representative director. Yamashita is currently a Ricoh director and deputy president, and general manager of Ricoh's Business Solutions Group. Ricoh also reported that it's "tackling changes in the business environment such as the decline in growth of office printing."
In the past several years, Ricoh has suffered from declining profits, including in its office-imaging business, some of which it's attributed to the negative effects of a stronger Japanese yen, which makes products sold outside of Japan less price-competitive. See "More Resources" below for more information.
Yamashita will replace Zenji Miura, who will resign as representative director, CEO and president, and will be appointed as corporate executive advisor as of April 1, 2017.
Shiro Kondo will also resign as a representative director, but will remain chairman and member of the Ricoh Board of Directors as of April 1, 2017. Nobuo Inaba will be appointed as chairman of the Ricoh Board as of April 1, 2017
Ricoh's new CEO and president, Yoshinori Yamashita, graduated from Hiroshima University, earning a degree in engineering, and joined Ricoh in 1980. He was appointed president of Ricoh Electronics in 2008, and 2010, was appointed group executive officer and corporate vice president.
In 2011, Yamashita was appointed corporate senior vice president and general manager of Ricoh's Corporate Planning Division.
In 2012, he was appointed director, a position he currently holds, and corporate executive vice president. In 2013, he was put in charge of Ricoh Internal Management and Control. In 2014, he was appointed general manager for Ricoh's Business Solutions Group, a position he currently holds. In 2015, Yamashita was put in charge of Ricoh "core business," a position he currently holds, and last year, was appointed deputy president, a position he also currently holds.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has assured Nigerians that the current economic recession the nation is experiencing would not be prolonged because the Federal Government's strategic plan would put Nigeria back on track.
Adeosun said, "We have a strategic plan that will take us out of the recession we have found ourselves in; we want to make sure the recession is as short as possible because we do not want a prolonged recession.
"From what we are looking at, we do not think that it will be a prolonged recession; we think that some of the initiatives that we are working on will now begin to bear fruits.
"We are on course and are confident that the plan we have put together will work and put the economy back on track.
"It is a long term plan that would re-position the economy so that we do not go into this boom and burst circles that are driven by the oil price.
"The economy has to be more resilient than that so that we do not find ourselves back where we are," she said.
The minister stated that since the budget was released in May, over N420 billion had been released and cash-backed for capital projects, adding that the largest sector that the money was spent on was power, works and housing.
Adeosun also revealed that a lot had been done in the defence sector to rebuild the capability of the Army, especially on efforts in the North East.
"Agriculture has received significant funding because of the time-sensitivity of agriculture and because of the fact that food prices were rising, we needed to intervene so that we could get food prices down.
"There is activity resuming on roads, power projects and health projects and we have released money to water resources and solid minerals,'" she said.
The finance minister added that there was a cash plan to release another N350billion, which would go into the various MDAs.
"The focus is going to be similar. However, there would also be funding of about N60billion for the Special Intervention Programme and that is very important in putting money into people's pockets.
"The school feeding programme and the N-Power Teachers Corps we will cash back today as part of the N350 billion additional release which would take our total capital spending to about N700 billion," she said.
Adeosun explained that the present recruitment exercise by the police and some other government agencies was possible by the reduction in the number of ghost workers, adding that the savings that were made from the exercise would enable funding for the new recruitment.
She said, "Sometime in January, personnel cost was N165 billion along with pension cost, but so far so good; we have reduced, through the removal of about 40,000 ghost workers, the personnel cost by around N10 billion per month.
"Now we have saved about N100 billion this year."
She reassured the nation that though the times were tough, there was hope for Nigerians, adding that issues around infrastructure were the biggest problems of Nigeria, resulting in high cost of living.
"The biggest problem we have is not wages but the cost of living, which is too high. So, it is not how much money you have but it is what it costs you to live," the minister said.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
The mother of a pregnant Black woman who died after collapsing at a New York eatery called emergency workers are "inhuman" for refusing to come to her aid during their "coffee break."
Cynthia Rennix, the mother of 25-year-old Eutisha Rennix, joined the chorus of angry New Yorkers, including Mayor Mike Bloomberg and state health officials, who described the circumstances as a callous disregard for human life.
"You are very inhuman; you don't need to have a job like you do," Cynthia Rennix said Wednesday.
According to witnesses, the two EMTs were ordering their lunch at the Au Bon Pain restaurant in Brooklyn on Dec. 9 when they were told that Rennix, an employee there and the mother of a 3-year-old son, had collapsed. Rennix, an asthma-sufferer, was six months pregnant with a girl.
The EMTs, Jason Green and Melissa Jackson, ignored the plea to help Rennix, took their lunch and left, according to witnesses, who said the duo told them to call 911.
Rennix and her too-premature baby died at a hospital shortly afterward.
On Tuesday, Green and Jackson were suspended without pay, and the Brooklyn district attorney has opened a criminal investigation into the case. The city fire department, which oversees EMTs, and New York state health officials, are also investigating.
However, Douglas Rosenthal, a lawyer representing the EMTs warned the public against a "rush to judgment," saying that the full facts will reveal that his clients had acted "appropriately to the best of their abilities."
Green, a 6-year veteran, and Jackson, a 4-year veteran, are emergency dispatchers, which requires them to be fully trained EMTs, according to a representative of the EMTs' union. "All dispatchers are required to be field-trained EMTs or paramedics in order to be more effective at their jobs, and are capable of getting involved in emergency situations," The Associated Press reports, citing the representative.
"All of our members are qualified to make that initial assessment and in some cases, start medical care," said Robert Ungar, spokesman for the Uniformed EMTS and Paramedics, FDNY. "Being dispatchers is not a defense" for inaction, he said.
The New York Department of Health oversees the EMT certification program, which requires completion of a 120-hour course and 10 hours of clinical time. Candidates must also pass an exam and undergo periodic recertification.
"The charges are appalling, and the department is vigorously investigating both EMTs," department spokesman Jeffrey Hammond told AP.
Cynthia Rennix said she is not sure whether she will take any legal action, according to AP.
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.

MILWAUKEE -- The calendar read Wednesday, Oct. 14. But the madness of two nights later across the country had already started at Marquette.
A preseason All-American candidate was diving for a loose ball in the rugby-like scrum that slid all the way to the back wall -- some five feet out of bounds.
The Golden Eagles not involved in this particular battle were screaming, clapping and echoing the drill-like encouragement from the coaching staff.
And, once summoned to the court, every player -- and for that matter manager -- tossed each other around as if they were about to grab the Holy Grail. The desire was over a basketball, but the atmosphere under the rim was medieval. Players clawed, scratched and scrummed until exhaustion.
If your ears weren't ringing as practice wore on, your heart rate certainly increased just trying to keep up with the pace.
The primary cause of the chaos was a variation of Michigan State's "War Drill," which shouldn't come as a surprise since Marquette's headmaster once served under Tom Izzo. And, like the excitement over Marquette basketball once again in these parts, the rebounding drill knows no bounds.
The reason Marquette was on the court two days earlier than most everyone else this season was because of its plans to venture out to Costa Rica for four games in five days. Oct. 14 was actually the Golden Eagles' 10th practice of the season. So, this wasn't just a typical early-October session.
Or was it?
If this is what Tom Crean expects from his Eagles each day, well, Marquette might have the copyright on practice intensity. Michigan State and Oklahoma, whose head coaches Izzo and Kelvin Sampson, are each off the Jud Heathcote tree might argue.
But Marquette, unlike the Sooners and Spartans, can't rely on talent to get it through its conference -- let alone deep into March. No, the theme for this season's Marquette squad starts with intensity. The Eagles aren't as talented as they were in New Orleans. Losing a first-team all-American and lottery pick like Dwyane Wade (No. 5 to Miami) will do that to a rising program.
But with or without Wade, the Eagles will play just as hard as they did in getting to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years.
The 2003-04 Eagles will be as scrappy as their head coach Tom Crean, who constantly stays on edge by taking the approach that he hasn't yet arrived in the profession. Forget about the convincing win over Kentucky in the Elite Eight. And definitely wipe away the embarrassing loss to Kansas in the Final Four. If the Eagles don't make a valiant effort to get to another Final Four in the next two seasons, they'll be the first to feel as though they were just another one-year wonder.
"Anyone who watches us practice and sees how hard we work, and the effort we put in, can't help but think that we'll have success," said junior guard Travis Diener, whose place on several preseason All-America lists can be traced back to last year's NCAA Tournament run. "I've had an unbelievable career in two years, but I'm not ready to say one Final Four and that's it. As long as practice goes as well as it has, then we can do what we did (last year)."
Wade's departure after three seasons on campus was expected, but outside of Carmelo Anthony's exit after one year, will have possibly the biggest impact on a team this season. No one player did as much for his team as Wade did for Marquette. He not only lead the team in scoring (21.5 ppg) but also earned a ranking among the top 10 within Conference USA in five different categories.
Leading rebounder Robert Jackson's eligibility also expired, and while both he and Wade were instrumental in getting the Eagles to the Final Four, the key to Marquette sustaining its resurgence to elite status for the first time since 1977 is Crean's decision to stay.
Crean is quick to say any the domino theory postulated by ESPN.com and others never should have included him. The chain of coaching changes that started with Matt Doherty's forced resignation at North Carolina to Roy Williams leaving Kansas for Chapel Hill and Bill Self bolting Illinois for Lawrence wasn't going to include Crean. Never mind the natural reaction was to assume Crean would go to Illinois because of his Big Ten ties at Michigan State. Crean realized he had just as good a job at Marquette.
Crean eventually signed a long-term deal, playing the Final Four to his advantage and financial security. The university ripped up his existing contract he signed in April 2002. As for the new deal, well Marquette, as a private school, won't officially release the details.
Whatever Marquette gave Crean to stay, he denies there was ever any interest in the Illinois job. Illinois is as quick to say it was only interested in the man they got -- Bruce Weber of Southern Illinois -- although they did interview Rice's Willis Wilson.
"There wasn't (a domino involving Crean) so we'll never find out what would have happened," Crean said. "I'm excited about being the coach here since the day I met with Bill Cords when we (at Michigan State) were in the NCAA Tournament (four years ago)."
Crean is Marquette's sixth coach since Al McGuire retired after 16 seasons with a national title in 1977. None of Crean's predecessors lasted more than six seasons. Some left by choice like Rick Majerus, while others never could create the magic or consistency needed to keep their jobs. Crean hopes to end the university's revolving-door of coaches by sustaining the Eagles' current level of success despite some built-in obstacles.
Crean has already lost assistants Tim Buckley (Ball State), Tod Kowalczyk (Wisconsin-Green Bay) and Darrin Horn (Western Kentucky) in just four seasons -- proof that he's doing something awfully right. But the biggest hurdle is a work in progress, which is making Marquette a destination instead of a stepping stone. If Crean can do this, it changes the future of this program -- especially as it embarks for a likely move to the Big East in 2004-05.
"I love talking to juniors in high school and looking at sophomores and letting them know that I'll be here for the long term," said Crean. "I want them to see our new building (the state-of-the-art practice facility called the Al McGuire Center). Why shouldn't this be one of the greatest jobs in the country? It is."
Like the program, Crean's 2003-04 team was a work in progress as it left for Costa Rica last week. Nagging injuries to Karon Bradley, Scott Merritt, freshman Dameon Mason and JC transfer Marcus Jackson -- four players expected to be in Crean's eight-man rotation -- slowed that progress. But as long as Diener, Scott Novak, Terry Sanders and Todd Townsend are healthy, Marquette might not repeat last year's 27-6 mark and instead compete for top honors in C-USA. Marquette returned from its Costa Rica trip unbeaten.
"We have to play with the bull's-eye on our back every game," Diener said. "Teams will give us their best shot. We're the returning conference champs and everyone knows who we are.
"We put pressure on ourselves to make the Final Four last year. We know now that people might not respect us after we lost Dwyane and Rob. We've got to prove we can be good to get back to a Final Four and win a national championship."
But without Wade and Jackson, the dynamics change on the court -- in a hurry.
Diener won't get the same looks he got last year when he averaged just under 12 points and shot 36 percent from behind the 3-point arc. He'll be rushed more without Wade, not to mention, counted on to produce more. Merritt and Townsend have to pick up for Jackson's toughness on the boards, where he averaged 7.5 rebounds a game. Sanders (2.6 ppg, 2.7 rpg) will have to become an option who also produces. Bradley will have to help Diener when the Eagles get pressured, while Mason and Jackson must be the breakout scorers to match their potential.
Oh, and the defense has to be as intense on a nightly basis as it was during that Oct. 14 practice.
"These guys picked it up in the offseason, the day after the Final Four," Crean said. "There was an open gym on the Wednesday after we got back and they were playing. They were lifting by Thursday. They were excited to practice. I hope the intensity you're seeing out there continues to grow. We had a good one (practice on Oct. 14) but we've got to sustain it and play through fatigue."
Marquette must also play through the growing pains of a budding top 25 program. The season starts on opening night in Madison Square Garden with a matchup against St. John's in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. It also includes trips to recent Final Four visitors Arizona and Wisconsin before the start of the C-USA slate.
Whether Crean keeps Marquette among the elite in 2003-04, expect his players to scrap with the best and dive for every loose ball.
And, together the Golden Eagles and their coach just may stick around longer than expected come March ... again.

Classifying Organisms in Food Webs
Key Point 2: Organisms are classified on how they effect energy in the ecosystem.
Produers are those that add energy to the ecosystem.
Producers take energy from the sunlight (in a few cases other sources) and turn it into a form that can be used by other living organisms.
In most cases this is done by plants in a process called photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide and produce sugar.
Energy from the sunlight is turned into glucose, a sugar that stores energy that can be used by other organisms.
CO2 + H2O + Light -> Glucose (Sugar) + O2
Consumers are those that take energy out of the ecosystem by converting it to heat.
All organisms "consume" energy, to live and function. But we usually consider consumers those that are not capable of producing their own energy.
Therefore these organism are "consumers" of energy. They lower the amount of available energy in the ecosystem.
Key Point 1: Some organisms make their own supply of energy, some must get it from others.
Auto - self
troph - "nutrition" or in this case energy.
Autotrophs are those that can "feed themselves"
They are capable of producing glucose, the usable form of energy, that their systems (bodies) need to function.
They are things like plants and algae.
Hetero- other
These are organisms that cannot produce glucose.
Therefore they must get their energy from eating other organisms.
Anything that eats for energy is a heterotroph.
Key Point 3: Consumers are classified based on how high up the food chain they are.
Primary - First
Secondary - Second
Tertiary - Third
A Primary Consumer is the one that eats the Producer. Its the "First Consumer" in the food chain.
A Tertiary Consumer is the one that eats the seondary consumer. (there is usually only three consumers in a food chain, simply because the energy is usually gone by then. To be discussed next lecture)
A Secondary Consumer is the one that eats the Primary consumer.
Primary Consumer- Eating the leaves, the Producer
Also a Secondary Consumer - Eating the Grasshopper (Primary Consumer), that is eating the Leaves
Keep in mind, In a Food Web some organisms may be more than one classification.. For Example...
Ready for Class?
Topic: Classifying Organisms in Food Webs
Do Now: Create a simple food chain with at least four organisms. Then add a single organism to make it into a food web.
Types of Consumers
Along with how high up the food chain they eat, consumers are classified on WHAT they eat.
Carnivores - eat other animals.
Herbivores - eat plants
Omnivores - eat plants and animals.
Scavengers - eat dead animals killed by other predators.
Decomposers - break down dead organisms. (like fungi)
Detritivores - consume detris (soil rich in organic material).
Pen or pencil
Cell phone off!
Three colored markers or crayons.
One sheet of poster paper per table.

Henry and June, the Movie
On this day in 1990, Henry and June, the first NC-17 movie, premiered. The only reason I wanted to see it was because of the rating—I had to know what it meant. I knew it was the new X, so there had to be sex, and lots of it. I could tell from the trailer that it wasn't the American formula of sex and violence, which I abhor (think Basic Instinct), and that it was set in Paris in the 1930s, which intrigued me, so off we went.
When the film began, I must have missed the part that said it was based on the diary of Anaïs Nin, so I thought that Nin and Henry Miller were fictional characters. The theatre was mostly empty—I was later to find out that the NC-17 rating killed any chance for a wide audience. I feel that the rating was uncalled for, that there was nothing in the film that didn't cry out "R"—but I suppose it was because of the so-called "lesbian scene," during which Nin asks two female prostitutes to make love while she watched (and most of that scene was left to the imagination). Henry and June would never be rated NC-17 today, and I imagine the rating still keeps many from seeing it, which is a shame, in my opinion.
The film, I thought, was a bit over-acted, and it was not, by any stretch of the imagination, the sexiest of films—and yet it "got" me. I felt the same way I did when I saw the first Star Wars film—like a kid on an adventure. Only this adventure was of the mind, of sensuality, of freedom, of daring, risk-taking, creativity, and joy. It was a rebellion against the status quo.
And then, when the final credits rolled, I discovered that not only were Nin and Miller real people, they wrote about everything I'd just seen. On the way home, we stopped at the used book store and I bought Diary 1 and Tropic of Cancer.
Little did I know that my curiosity about a sexy movie would shape the rest of my life and career.

Paul Herron dishes on Anais Nin with Rose Caraway
Erotic writer/blogger/podcaster Rose Caraway (found on Twitter as @RoseCaraway) recently had me as a guest on The Kiss Me Quick's Erotic Podcast, and we discuss Anais Nin's erotica (with an excerpt from a previously unknown erotic story), her use of language, sexuality, fiction, diary, and writing style. We take a sneak peek at the upcoming Trapeze: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin, 1947-1955, which chronicles Nin's perilous double life with two husbands. We ponder Nin's unpublished erotic story "Montparnasse," which is unlike anything in Delta of Venus or Little Birds and try to reason why she wrote the story in the first place. Was it just an example of bad writing, or was it the result of something her anonymous collector had said? Find out here. Run time: just over an hour.

Ask Anais Nin anything you want
Imagine you had the chance to ask Anaïs Nin any question you'd like. What would it be? Would it be about a book? A lover? Somewhere she lived? Her double life? Incest? Her writing philosophy? Her family? Her upcoming diary?
And what if you had the chance to actually ask the question and get an answer from Nin experts who will use their extensive knowledge and resources to provide an in-depth and accurate response?
And what if your question and answer would appear on our next Anaïs Nin podcast?
I would say that's a unique opportunity.
The podcast will be hosted by Paul Herron and Anaín Bjorkquist (of Sex Love Joy fame). Air date will be posted here and on Twitter soon.
Anais Nin Podcast 3: How Anais Nin Changed a Life

No Ordinary House: Anais Nin's 110th Birthday
Anaïs Nin was born 110 years ago on Feb. 21, 1903 at Neuilly-sur-Seine in what was then a newly built luxurious building at 7 rue du Général Henrion Bertier, which still stands today. The house, and the one next door, an identical building, were both built in 1895.
The city of Neuilly was kind enough to send along some specs for the house.
The specs roughly state that the houses were built parallel to each other and perpendicular to the street, with basements and four floors and a courtyard. The building materials consist of limestone, stone and slate. The front of the house has covered gables, and the roofs are made of long sections. The rear of the house is broken into sections with uncovered gables. There is a spiral staircase which is suspended, and a décor which consists of sculpture.
This was no ordinary house, and this was no ordinary neighborhood. It would perhaps be the most luxurious place little Anaïs ever occupied. The street view is below:

Alas, the family would not remain long in Neuilly, since Joaquin Nin was a composer and pianist who traveled much of Europe on concert tours. They would go to Havana, Cuba, where 2 year old Anaïs contracted typhoid fever. She became very ill, losing weight and her hair, drawing taunts from her father as an "ugly duckling," something that would scar Anaïs for life.
After Havana, the Nins settled in a cheaper house in St-Cloud, near Paris, one of many places to which they would relocate, followed by Berlin and Brussels.

The Winter of Artifice: Anais Nin's banned book
One of the reasons that Anaïs Nin, Henry Miller, and Lawrence Durrell turned to Jack Kahane of Obelisk Press to publish their books in the 1930s was because Kahane wasn't afraid to publish what no others would touch. Miller's Tropic of Cancer, which debuted in 1934, was banned from all English-speaking countries for decades and was the centerpiece of the American "pornography" trials of the 1960s.
What is little known is that Anaïs Nin's original version of The Winter of Artifice (1939) was also, according to Nin herself, banned in the U.S. On more than one occasion she refers to the few copies that were smuggled into this country as having somehow eluded the censors. When Nin decided to publish an American version of the book, she omitted an entire novella ("Djuna," her fictionalized version of the Anaïs-Henry-June love triangle) and several passages from the remaining two novellas ("Lilith" and "The Voice") to avoid scrutiny.
In one of the passages in "Djuna," the protagonist reveals her feelings for Hans, the character based on (or, more accurately, is) Miller:
While he lay over me with his unabatable attentiveness I knew he was watching the alterations of my face, listening to the cries I uttered, and the final deeper, savage tones. I closed my eyes before this watchfulness of his and sank into a blind, moist drunkenness. I felt myself caught in the immense jaws of his desire, felt myself dissolving, ripping open to his descent. I felt myself yielding up to his dark hunger. An immense jaw closing upon my feelings, my feelings smouldering, rising from me like smoke from a black mass. Take me, take me, take my gifts and my moods and my body, take all you want.
I am being fucked by a cannibal.
It is all that is human in me that he devours. He eats me as if my love for him were something he wanted to possess inside his body, at the very core of his body, like fuel. He eats me as if my faith in him were a food he needed for daily sustenance.
He is not concerned to know whether I can live or breathe within the dark cavern of his whale-like being, within the whale-belly of his ego.
Miller himself heavily edited "Djuna," and much of his editing found its way into the final version of the story. (For more on this subject, click here.)
Another passage omitted from the same novella focuses on Djuna's relationship with Johanna (June Miller):
Johanna's eyes were like the forest. The darkness of the forest, the watchfulness behind an ambush. Fear. I journeyed into the darkness of it. I walked from the place where my dress had fallen, carrying my breasts like gifts in my half-opened hands; I carried them to her as if expecting to be thrust by her mortally.
Johanna loosened her hair and said: "You are so extraordinarily white." With a strange weight, like a sadness, she spoke. It was not the white substance of me, but my significance, the whiteness of my newness to life, which Johanna seemed to sigh for. "You are so white, so white and smooth." And there were deep shadows in her eyes, shadows of one old with life; shadows in her neck, in her arms, and on her knees, violet shadows.
While this passages may seem tame compared to today's erotic literature, they were far ahead of their time, especially when we consider that the author was a woman.
In 2007, the only in-print edition of the original The Winter of Artifice was published as a facsimile of the original. It was a project that took two years to complete after careful restoration of the font and cover.

Revisiting 1930s Paris With GPS Technology
It wasn't long after discovering Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller some 20 years ago that I developed a hunger to follow in their footsteps in Paris. I recall writing down some of the addresses of Nin's and Miller's haunts and homes, names of famous Montparnassian cafés, and in particular the fabled house in Louveciennes. Back then, I had only Michelin maps and travel guides (the names of which I patched together as "Fodommerbaum") to help me piece together some sort of plan. Nothing, though, prepared me for the actual act of walking the streets to seek out the remnants and echoes of what once existed.
The very first site I wanted to see was the quai where Nin moored her houseboat, La Belle Aurore. I only had old photographs to help me figure out exactly where it was. I stood holding the photo on Pont Royal, straining to match the 60 year old image with the current scene, and I had to guess. I stood at my declared spot and tried to feel the magic of knowing that once upon a time, an old, leaky barge sat in these waters, that Nin and her lover Gonzalo walked down the same staircase I did to board it. Was I right? Was this the spot?
I was only able to discover this past week that I was indeed pretty close, and I was able to do so sitting in front of my computer screen, thanks to today's GPS technology. While editing and formatting Britt Arenander's Anaïs Nin's Lost World: Paris in Words and Pictures, 1924-1939, I began to toy with the idea of making what was mainly a photo-book with a nice, concise synopsis of Nin's and Miller's Paris years into something more: an interactive travel guide using GPS technology, something than can not only be read, but used. Once I began seeking out the more than 40 specific locations listed in the book on Google Maps, I began to see that not only can one visit these locations virtually, but one can also navigate between them and create virtual walking tours. Had I had access to something like this twenty years ago, my first Paris visit would have been very different. For example, one of Henry Miller's apartments was on Avenue Anatole France in Clichy, and it was the setting for the famous battle between Miller and his wife June over the fact that Miller and Nin were lovers, a final cataclysmic explosion that resulted in divorce. How could any self-described aficionado not visit this place and reconstruct that scene? The sad fact is that I spent half a precious day trying to find the place only to come up empty. How was I to know that there are two Avenues Anatole France, one in Paris and one in Clichy, to the north? It is only now that I can walk that street and look up at the art-deco building where emotions ran amok that day in 1932, thanks to Google's "street view" option. In fact, I decided one day to do what Miller himself did on a regular basis: walk from his favorite restaurant at Place Clicy, the Wepler, to his apartment, simply by using the navigation tools. The same was true in Montparnasse and all the other locations.
So, what I did was to mark each location and then to present some background of its significance, using facts from Arenander's book and vintage photographs. (There are other options as well, such as including links that allows the viewer to delve further into its history, including sound and video clips, and this is something I aim on enhancing the map with often. To see an example, go to our intactive sample map and click on La Gare chemin de fer de petite ceinture.) I thought that if one were planning a trip to Paris and wanted to "practice" identifying historic locations beforehand, one could do so easily. Also, since many travelers bring smart devices along on their trips, one could use an iPad, say, or an iPhone to map out their walks as they were actually doing them. What a remarkable way to enhance a trip, especially when time is at a premium. And if one is unable to make such a trip, it is still possible to revisit the traces of the past at home. After all, I was finally able to use the street view navigation to scope out Nin's houseboat location and finally pinpoint the spot by comparing it with the old photos. Not only that, but I discovered the old iron rings that once moored the houseboats are still affixed to the walls! (Go to the sample interactive map by clicking here and you can visit quai de Tuileries yourself.)
I have created a short walking tour which is based on an event that took place in March of 1932, chronicled in Anaïs Nin's Lost World. Henry Miller had met Anaïs at Chez les Vikings and had a passionate conversation with her. After she left, he wrote his first love letter to her, saying, "I tell you what you already know—I love you." After writing that letter, he walked home to Hôtel Central, where he and Nin had their first sexual encounter a few days later. Now, we can virtually walk that same path, just for the hell of it.

Anais Nin's Lost World: Paris in Words and Pictures, 1924-1939
In 1995, Britt Arenander's book Anaïs Nins Förlorade Värld (Anaïs Nin's Lost World) was released in Sweden. Gunther Stuhlmann, Anaïs Nin's literary agent, sent me a copy as a gift, and it was always a book, despite my inability to read Swedish, that I admired.
The author, who had recently moved to France, made the pilgrimage to Louveciennes to see Anaïs Nin's legendary "laboratory of the soul," the 200 year old house where she met Henry Miller in 1931. It then dawned on her to see if the apartment building where Miller and his friend Alfred Perlès lived still stood in Clichy, and it did. This series of events triggered her quest to research and rediscover each Paris address ever mentioned by Nin or Miller, and the result was a wonderful book filled with both vintage and recent photographs of these storied locations. In between was the synopsis of the life that Nin, Miller, and many of their cohorts lived in the 1930s, interlaced with the history of Paris, Montparnasse, and Louveciennes. I had always hoped that one day the book would be published in English.
Imagine my surprise and delight, then, when Britt Arenander contacted me recently with the idea of doing just that, and it was a project I was more than happy to undertake.
In her introduction, the author clearly states her inspiration: "A lost world, of which the outlines still remain, was what I wished to recreate, by help of photographic jigsaw puzzle pieces. But my hope is also that it might be an intimate guide to Paris outside the main tourist routes."
We have taken this idea and enhanced the original book with updated information, a well-planned table of contents complete with links to not only each photograph, some of which, as the one to the left, are at least 100 years old, but also to street maps of several of the chief Nin/Miller haunts. The last new touch is an interactive map that one can view with their ebook device or computer that offers background information, vintage photos, and current street views of such places as Nin's Louveciennes house, the location of her houseboats, the hotel where Nin and Miller began their affair, the brothel where Nin and her husband Hugh Guiler witnessed a "show," and on and on.
All of this, I believe achieves Britt Arenander's quest to offer an intimate guide to Paris that is definitely out of the ordinary. The reader will be able wander through Anaïs Nin's lost world visually, literarily, virtually, and if in Paris, truly.
The book can be ordered with Kindle and with any Apple product (iPad, iPhone, etc.) after downloading the Kindle app.

Gunther Stuhlmann: the man behind Anaïs Nin's success
Gunther Stuhlmann (1927-2002) is one of the main topics in Volume 3 of A Café in Space: The Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, which is now available on Amazon's Kindle.
In 1957, Stuhlmann, then a young up-and-coming literary agent in New York, wrote a letter to Nin, whom he had met some years prior. Thus began a partnership and accompanying correspondence that was to last for the rest of Nin's life. Volume 3 highlights their early letters to each other, which reveal that Nin's writing career was in ruins. By the time Stuhlmann took Nin on as a client, she had very little to show for decades of work, self-publication, and relentless self-promotion. Reacting to constant rejection and failure, at one point she confided to Stuhlmann that she was entertaining the idea of "giving it all up."
But Stuhlmann, a man known for tenacity and in-your-face business tactics, was only getting started with her. His patience with the free-wheeling Nin—who was wont to make bad decisions and trust the wrong people only to be repeatedly bailed out by her husband, Hugh Guiler—was remarkable. His was a monumental job: to re-mold Nin into a disciplined and logical businesswoman. Stuhlmann's belief in her work was deep—he saw potential whereas most New York literary types saw badly crafted, narcissistic surrealism. As an ex-patriot European, Stuhlmann's vision was not narrowed by 1950s American ideas of what books ought to be—realistic, easy-to-read, chronologically ordered plots, familiar characters, etc. Nin, as we all know, was anything but.
Because of their oppositely aligned personalities and tactics, Nin and Stuhlmann were often at odds with each other. On April 23, 1959, Nin wrote Stuhlmann from Paris and informed him of a deal she'd struck up with her friend Jean Fanchette, who edited the bilingual journal Two Cities, to which Nin contributed. He agreed to translate Nin's work and to sell it to French publishers, none of which Stuhlmann, Nin's official agent, knew:
Fanchette sold Spy to Stock by showing partly translated M.S. He understood you were to take over contract, and I have just written him to remind him that all contractual matters are to be sent to you. If it does not reach you soon and if you are in personal contact with anyone there you might refer to it. I gave Jean your address—the agreement was you would let him free to work as a friend. I also told Fanchette you would consider his novel—to be coming out soon—to see if you would care to be his agent—OK?
Stuhlmann, who had just extricated Nin from a messy relationship with the publisher Neville Spearman, reacted angrily to this latest bit of news:
I don't see any reason why you should not authorize [Fanchette] as your translator for the Spy but I firmly believe that we ought to conduct all business discussion as to terms and contracts etc. through our office and subject to your and our scrutiny so that we do not get into another situation which would be embarrassing for all of us. It was no mean trick to solve the Spearman entanglement and I am somewhat weary of getting into a similar situation in France.
In the end, Fanchette never completed the translation of Spy in the House of Love, nor any other Nin title, and this delayed her publication in France for years.
The series of letters ends just before Nin found her true American publisher, Alan Swallow, and sets up the three-way correspondence between Nin, Swallow, and Stuhlmann, which is the centerpiece of Volume 4. The letters allow readers to discover the nuts and bolts, and sweat and tears, of Anaïs Nin's ascendance to literary stardom, and the role that the man behind the scenes, Gunther Stuhlmann, played.

The Story Behind A Café in Space: The Anaïs Nin Literary Journal
The inaugural issue of A Café in Space: The Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, which celebrated Nin's 100th birthday, is now available on Kindle. This is the story of how it came to be.
After Gunther Stuhlmann, who edited the amazing 19 annual issues of ANAIS: An International Journal, died in 2002, there was suddenly a severe vacuum in Nin studies. Stuhlmann had planned a special centennial issue of ANAIS for 2003, and even began gathering material for it when he became seriously ill and had to abandon the project. After encouragement from several Nin and Miller scholars, this editor decided to create a new Nin journal that would pick up where ANAIS left off. Because Nin described Richard Centing's and Benjamin Franklin V's Under the Sign of Pisces as "a café in space" in which the literary community could gather, we were inspired to so name the new journal.
In February of 2003, I traveled to France with the intention of visiting famous Nin sites, especially her birthplace in Neuilly-sur-Seine and the house in Louveciennes, which Henry Miller called "the laboratory of the soul." I was fortunate enough to find the Neuilly house newly refurbished, probably looking much as it did when Nin was born there. But the most amazing stroke of luck was being invited to the Nin house in Louveciennes by its new owner, actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, with a group of distinguished guests, one of them a famous actress from the Comédie-Française. After having spent more than a decade wishing for the chance to enter this fabled house, after watching it
decay to the point where it was being considered for demolition, to be inside the house on Nin's 100th birthday, toasting her with a group of people Nin would have admired, was nothing short of miraculous. Of course, I took dozens of photos and recorded each moment of the day, and wrote it up for A Café in Space. (Click here to see a previous post on the Louveciennes visit.) On top of this, I met Claudine Brelet, who was a close friend of Lawrence Durrell, and she took us on a nostalgic tour of Montparnasse. She agreed to write an article about the special places that Durrell and Miller frequented, through which readers can experience the tour themselves.
I was able to contact some of the contributors to the never-to-be-finished issue of ANAIS, including veteran scholars such as Franklin, Lynette Felber, Phil Jason, and others, all of whom agreed to partake in the first issue of A Café in Space. Furthermore, after attending a centennial Nin conference in California early in 2003, and after hearing talks given by author Janet Fitch and Kazuko Sugisaki, Nin's Japanese translator, I was able to collect article versions of the talks for the new journal. Fitch's talk, titled "No Women Writers," describes how she discovered Nin after her a junior high school substitute teacher declared that there were no important women writers. "He challenged the class to think of a single one… And then a girl in the front row raised her hand, I can still see her, her frizzy ash-blonde hair, her plump arm, waving, and she asked, What about Anaïs Nin? …And I ripped off a note which I passed up the row… WHO IS ANAÏS NIN?" The girl "corrected the spelling and sent it back, saying, 'Read the Diaries, they're incredible!'" The rest is history, and Fitch says that Nin's influence is present in her famous novel White Oleander.
After the conference, we took a drive up to Oakland, CA to visit with Nin's last surviving family member, her brother Joaquín Nin-Culmell, who, although he'd suffered a stroke shortly beforehand, was incredibly lucid, welcoming, and enthusiastic. He took us on a journey back to his childhood, explaining how cruel and selfish his father was, how Anaïs was protective of her brothers, how the family was instructed by the mother to speak only French in the household in order to keep alive their native language after coming to America. He showed us photographs and artifacts from the past, but the sight of his piano sitting silent in his living room was haunting—since his stroke, he neither played nor listened to music again. Less than a year later, he was gone. How fortunate it was to catch him on that day, a clear, warm, sunny day, the aura of which shined through Joaquín's face. Not having originally planned to, I ended up writing up the occasion ("An Afternoon With Joaquín Nin-Culmell") for A Café in Space.
But what about Anaïs Nin herself? What would she contribute to A Café in Space? Serendipity once again played a role in this: I was given a portion of Nin's unpublished 1940s diaries, and in it I found passages that epitomized Nin's first years in America after fleeing war in Europe. Disillusioned and disconnected to anything vital, she was drowning in depression and despair when she met a young and somewhat naïve young man from Iowa, who'd arrived in New York to seek artistic freedom. His youthful zeal and exuberance were exactly what Nin was lacking in her life, and thus began a torrid affair. The entire experience Nin summed up in one word: "Mirage," a word which could be applied to her entire existence in New York.
After reading about Nin's affair with the young John Dudley, I couldn't help but wonder if a photo of him didn't exist somewhere. Nin's descriptions were vivid, but one likes to have a real image with which to compare them. Only weeks before the publication of Vol. 1, I was in Massachusetts gathering up boxes of back issues of ANAIS: An International Journal, which I'd volunteered to distribute. I opened a desk drawer (with permission) and discovered a pile of photographs that had, I imagined, been set aside for future issues of ANAIS. Among them was a young blond man standing, smiling, in front of what looked like a plantation house. Was the house Hampton Manor, where the affair occurred? Was the young, vivacious man John Dudley? I collected this and several other photos, and after some research, I discovered that yes, these were indeed of Dudley. I had barely enough time to submit them before publication.
Looking back on all this, I can say that nearly everything in the first issue of A Café in Space was the result of bonne chance.

Renovations are in the planning phase for the Zanesville-Muskingum County Health Department.
On Thursday Project Manager Jeremy Davis sat down with the Muskingum County Commissioners to update them on his progress.
"The main function of this program is to increase efficiency and the maximum space that we can use for the health department, mainly the expanded clinical and nursing services," said Davis.
The project has been in the works for several months. Davis said efficiency is critical in the health care field.
"It's really just a matter of serving your patients and clients in the best way possible," said Davis. "This current plan that we had developed will relocate all of the main services to the first floor, and the second floor will just be occupied for administration."
Davis said that once he has a finalized plan for construction, he will schedule another meeting with the commissioners.

USAA Dominates Annual Consumer Trust Ratings by Temkin Group
Fourth Annual Temkin Trust Ratings Evaluates 268 Companies Across 19 Industries
Apr 09, 2014, 08:30 ET
WABAN, Mass., April 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on a study of 10,000 U.S. consumers, USAA took the top three spots for its banking, insurance, and credit card businesses in the 2014 Temkin Trust Ratings, which rates 268 companies across 19 industries. This is the fourth year that USAA has earned the highest trust ratings. The next 10 companies on the top of the 2014 ratings are Lexus dealers, credit unions, H.E.B., Trader Joe's, Chick-fil-A, Publix, Costco, Amazon.com. BMW dealers, and PetSmart.
At the bottom of the 2014 Temkin Trust Ratings are three TV service providers: Charter Communications, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable. These three companies also showed up in the bottom 10 for their Internet services businesses, along with HSBC (for both credit cards and banking), Qwest, and US Airways.
"USAA has built an enormous level of trust with its customers, a sign of its ongoing commitment to meeting their needs," states Bruce Temkin, managing partner of Temkin Group. "On the other hand, TV services and Internet services companies have let down customers so regularly that they've earned almost no trust."
In its fourth year of publication, the 2013 Temkin Trust Ratings examines trust levels for 268 companies across these 19 industries: airlines, appliance makers, auto dealers, banks, car rental agencies, computer makers, credit card issuers, fast food chains, grocery chains, health plans, hotel chains, insurance carriers, Internet service providers, investment firms, parcel delivery services, retailers, software firms, TV service providers, and wireless carriers.
Additional highlights of the 2014 Temkin Trust Ratings include:
- Led by credit cards and banking, 17 of the 19 industries improved their Temkin Trust Ratings between 2013 and 2014. Hotel chains were the only industry to experience a decline.
- The five highest rated industries are grocery chains, investment firms, insurance carriers, retailers, and auto dealers.
- The five lowest rated industries are TV service providers, Internet service providers, wireless carriers, health plans, and airlines.
- The five companies with the largest improvement in Temkin Trust Ratings between 2013 and 2014 are CareFirst, T.J. Maxx, Best Buy, Cox Communications, and Apple Store.
- The six companies with the largest decline in Temkin Trust Ratings between 2013 and 2014 are Holiday Inn Express, Hyatt, Coventry Health Care, Blackboard, Travelers, and Marriott.
The 2014 Temkin Trust Ratings along with other ratings can be accessed at the Temkin Ratings website, www.TemkinRatings.com.

Discography – Dismembering Extreme Music Fans Since 1990!
CDN Records started its onslaught back in 1990 from a bedroom trading demos with other music fans and demo traders around the world. Originally, the label was named Civilian Death Network, but label was forced to change it's name due to the non-stop problems it received from the government and the US/Canada Custom Officials. With most of his packages/shipments being opened and smashed to bits, especially after 9-11, operating under the name 'Civilian Death Network' was just not an option anymore and CDN Records was born. Still operating from a home office, CDN Records is now managing more than 1300 titles under the distro and is currently about to release his 16th full-length CD. CDN Records is proud to be in the ranks of one of Canada's longest running extreme music labels. You can be rest assured that much more brutality and sickness awaits!

Tuition Grants for Doctor of Ministry
The primary responsibility for meeting the cost of the Doctor of Ministry program belongs to the student, his/her institution or congregation, and the denomination to which he/she is a member. All family resources, including a spouse's income, are included when calculating need-based aid. 2017-2018 Doctor of Ministry need-based grants are awarded for credits taken between June 1, 2017, and May 31, 2018.
What is a Doctor of Ministry tuition grant?
A Doctor of Ministry Tuition Grant is not a merit scholarship but based on financial need. These grants do not require repayment.
Range of Award
A student may be awarded up to the full cost of tuition. All students who meet the application deadline and qualify financially will split the allotted funds.
Who Qualifies?
- Students enrolled full-time in the Doctor of Ministry programs; six credits per session. Aid will not be provided to any student beyond the minimum credits required for graduation.
- Students must demonstrate financial need and be a member of a church.
- Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress.
- If students received financial aid from PTS for one degree program, they are not eligible for financial aid for a second degree until three years (nine terms) have passed since they received aid.
- Students who are in a "default status" on their federal educational loans are ineligible for institutional aid.
What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)?
A student must demonstrate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in order to receive financial aid. A PTS Award Letter means that a student is financially eligible; the Financial Aid Office is required to determine if the student is also academically eligible. SAP is evaluated at the end of the academic year and determines eligibility for the following year. To be academically eligible, all courses (12 credits) must be completed and credit earned. Grades must be posted for new funds to be applied.
Grants cannot pay retroactively or past due amounts.
Repeats and Withdrawals
Should a student receive a grade of unsatisfactory in a course or withdraw with faculty approval, no financial aid will be awarded for this course when it is repeated or for electives that may be substituted as repeat credits. If a student withdraws during the class, financial aid for the course will be revoked.
How is financial need determined?
Financial Need is calculated by the program budget or Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) minus other aid. The EFC is the number assigned by the Department of Education as a result of completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.).
Cost of Attendance (COA)
- Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
- Other Aid
Amount of Need Based Aid
How to Apply for 2017-2018
- Forward the PTS Doctor of Ministry Financial Aid Application to the Financial Aid Office by the deadline, April 15. 2017-2018 PTS DMin Financial Aid Application
- File a 2017-2018 FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The PTS school code is G03356.
- Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IDR) to transfer tax information directly from the IRS into the FAFSA. The student must use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the FAFSA or submit a hard copy of the Tax Transcript. The Tax Transcript can be obtained by calling the IRS at 800-908-9946 or visit http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript to download a copy of the Tax Transcript. Applications without the IRS Data Retrieval on the FAFSA or a Tax Transcript will be considered incomplete and returned to the student. PTS will not process incomplete applications.
- The federal government may select some FAFSA items to be verified. If a filer is selected for verification, the student will receive notification from the Financial Aid Office. Requested documentation must be returned to the Financial Aid Department.
Apply by April 15
After the deadline, available funds will be divided between all qualifying applicants.
Students must re-apply each year. Funding is not provided beyond the minimum credits required for graduation.
Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is a town on Florida's southeast coast that was known in the 1960s and 1970s as a spring break destination for college students. This is largely a result of the classic beach movie, Where the Boys Are, filmed there in 1960. In the 1980s/1990s the city of Ft Lauderdale, Florida went to great lengths to change this image and today you'll find few drunken college students there.
There's a good reason why this area is popular with tourists. In addition to the beach, the weather is magnificent. It has an average year round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine annually.
Getting Around
Most visitors fly into Fort Lauderdale airport, which is conveniently located to the area's beaches. The main beach is less than 10 miles from the airport, but can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour depending upon traffic.
Once you've settled in to your lodgings, there are a number of ways to get around. If you're staying near the beach you may never need to use a car because the central part of town is very walkable with a large selection of restaurants, shops, and entertainment within easy walking distance.
Another option is the Fort Lauderdale water taxi. This is an exceptionally good choice because it combines a scenic boat ride and transportation in one ticket. Many people think of it as a trolley on the water because it's "hop on, hop off" all for the same price. There are 3 different routes: the Ft Lauderdale Local Route, the Hollywood Local Route, and the Margaritaville Express Route that transports riders between the two cities.
If walking or the water taxi aren't for you there are plenty of Uber, Lyft, and taxi drivers available.
The Beach
Ft. Lauderdale beach stretches for approximately 5 miles from Hugh Taylor Birch State Park on the north end to where the Stanahan River flows in to the Atlantic Ocean at the south.
Amenities at the beach include:
- Restrooms
- Outdoor showers
- Water fountains
- Picnic tables
- Grills
- Lifeguards
- Playground
- Volleyball nets
- Basketball full court
- Boat ramp, non-motorized
- Accessible restrooms, parking, shower and telephone available.
- Parking, for a fee
- Food, across the street
- Bars, across the street
- Shopping, across the street
- Beach rentals, across the street
- Other entertainment, across the street
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau lists 525 restaurants in the greater Fort Lauderdale area on its website. Clearly, there's a restaurant for every taste and budget.
Yelp's Best 10 Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale are:
- 925 Nuevo's Cubano's
- Regina's Farm
- Back Alley Bar & BBQ
- The Foxy Brown
- The Poke House
- Bar Red Beard
- Market 17
- Sushi 4 Fun
- Gilbert's 17th Street Grill
- Coconuts Fort Lauderdale
To many joyful beach experiences!

Author's Note: This was written during my hiatus from fan fiction. Enjoy it or don't. I don't care. Flames, criticism, reviews and sarcastic comments are all welcome.
Oh and just to let you know, the order of POV is Ron, Harry, Hermione, All.
Read, review, hate, holler, criticize, check, flame and freakin' go buck wild.
~The Sage.
I hate being second-best.
This might seem like a weird statement to some. I mean, second-best is pretty good compared to being fifth in line, or last. But to be second bestall the bloody time is something I detest so deeply, I can't even explain it.
I hate being the sidekick.
I hate being the 'stupid one'.
I hate being known as something other than my name. "Harry Potter's best friend" "Bill/Charlie/Percy/Fred/George's younger brother" "Ginny's older brother" "Hermione's friend"
Not once has someone out of Gryffindor and outside my family, has ever referred to me by my name. I've lost my name. I doubt I ever had it. I sealed my fate the first train ride to Hogwarts.
I hate the fact that people think the only reason I got on the damn Quidditch team was because I was Harry Potter's best friend. This is probably true, but nonetheless.
I hate the fact that I won't have a chance with 'her' because of what I am.
Because compared with bloody Vicky Krum, I'm dirt.
I hate the fact that most people assume the only reason I'm 'allowed' around Harry and Hermione is because they think I'm funny. Let me set you straight on this one. Hermione doesn't think I'm funny. If she does, she hides it well.
Hell, half the time I'm around them, I'm a buggering prat.
But do you know what I hate the most about myself?
Knowing that Harry would do anything to have my life, and here I am, sitting here on my arse, complaining about it.
I hate being stared at.
I hate being famous.
I hate the fact that newspapers almost never use my name. In fact, I hate the fact that newspapers even write about me, never mind if they use my name or not. It's always 'The-Boy-Who-Lived' or 'The-Savior-of-the-Wizarding-World'. I couldn't even save my damn godfather, how the hell am I supposed to save the entire flippin' wizard population?! But it's always those stupid hyphenated names. I'll give you one. "The-Boy-Who-Got-So-Tired-Of-These-Damn-Names-He-Slit-His-Wrists". Not that I ever did. But I will, I bet. One day or another.
I hate the fact that I can't say a damn thing without Hermione analyzing it 12 times over, Malfoy commenting on it, the Daily Prophet reporting on it and Snape sneering at it.
I hate that people just assume I'm crazy because of what they read. I also hate those people that think I'm a damn god because of what they read. There's no middle ground, is there?
I hate the fact that I never know whether I'll wake up and everything and everyone I love will be dead or gone or whether I'll just wake up screaming.
I hate the fact that Hermione and Ron avoid my eyes.
I hate the fact that I'll never know if someone likes me for me, or just because I'm the buggering 'Boy-Who-Lived-And-Would-Never-Freakin'-Die-No-Matter-How-Many-Times-You-Shot-The-Bloody-Killing-Curse-At-Him'.
Do you know what I hate the most, though? I hate the fact that Ron is shunted aside and ignored, while I sit here and complain about being in the spotlight.
I hate this.
I hate the fact that both my friends would do anything for the other's life, yet it's the one thing neither of them can have.
I hate that I'll love a stupid prat with red-hair forever, and he'll never take a second glance at me.
I hate that while I'm trying to do things that are important to me, I remember that Harry and Ron are both the most important things to me, yet I can't help them.
I hate that fact that Ron thinks he's typical, average and ordinary.
I hate the fact that Harry won't be able to ever enjoy his life, even if, no, wait… when, he defeats Voldemort.
I hate the fact that while I obsess over stupid things, like my appearance and grades, my friends are hiding their emotions on the inside.
I hate the fact that I can't be perfect.
I hate the fact that I can't help.
But what I hate the most about myself is that while I tell myself that keeping up with my schoolwork is the most important and hardest thing that I need to do, I know that helping my friends is really what I should do.
But I love my friends to the depth that death would be welcome if it meant that they would live.
-Ron, Harry & Hermione

The Intel® Atom[tm] is interfaced through the 533 MHz FSB to an Intel® 945GSE graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) which is in turn interfaced through a high-speed direct media interface (DMI) to an Intel® Mobil ICH7-M I/O controller hub (ICH).
The Intel® 945GSE supports DDR2 memory modules, CRT graphics and both an LVDS and SDVO graphics port. In some IEI Intel® Atom[tm] platforms, the SDVO ports is connected to a second LVDS connector through a Chrontel SDVO-to-LVDS transmitter. The LVDS connectors support both 18-bit and 36-bit single channel LVDS screens.
The Intel® ICH7-M ICH comes with four PCIe lanes. Two of these lanes are typically connected to external RJ-45 LAN connectors through a Gigabit Ethernet controller (GbE) to ensure the system has PCIe GbE connectivity. The remaining two PCIe lanes are connected to either edge connectors or expansion ports such as PCIe mini slots. The Intel® ICH7-M chipsets also support up to four SATA drives, two IDE hard disks, AC'97 audio codecs and six USB 2.0 ports. All IEI Intel® Atom[tm] platforms integrate other critical peripheral device connection features including RS-232 and RS-232/422/485 serial connectivity.

Ask the Chairman - How was the new national chairman chosen?
Q: Ray,
I have heard that there is a transition happening and that the OA will have a new chairman, soon. How does this process happen, and can you tell us who the new chairman is and how we communicate with him?
Your frequent pen pal,
A: Henry,
I have always enjoyed our various conversations and emails over these past few years! And it is true, on June 1, 2016, we will have a new National Order of the Arrow chairman. On that date, Michael G. Hoffman, will assume the chairmanship and if you do not know him, let me reassure you that he will do a fabulous job. Mike was inducted into our Order in 1978, sealed his bond in Brotherhood membership in 1979, and was chosen as a Vigil Honor member by his lodge in 1982. Mike was inducted and completed his Brotherhood in Bay Lakes Council, WI and received his Vigil in Grand Canyon Council, Phoenix, AZ.
As a youth, Mike served as lodge chief, section chief, and the 1985 national vice chief. As a youth, Mike also worked on the Philmont Scout Ranch staff in 1983, 1984 and 1985. As an adult he served as associate lodge adviser, associate section adviser and as section adviser. He was asked to join the National OA Committee in 1995 and has served as vice chairman of the training and national events subcommittees.
The process of selecting a national chairman parallels the process of selecting one of our four region chairmen. The current chairman, in consultation with his predecessors and in collaboration with the OA national director, will at a point in his tenure (usually 5-8 years) create a slate of potential candidates (all of whom are active Arrowmen) to discuss with the Chief Scout Executive. The current national chairman and the Chief Scout Executive thoroughly discuss and vet the slated nominees and the chosen Arrowman is approached to ascertain his willingness to serve. If open to the appointment, a three way discussion is normally held in private so that the duties and responsibilities can be thoroughly discussed and the Chief Scout Executive can ensure that the selectee has ample opportunity to understand how the OA can be of support to the BSA in the coming years.
As we move now to a new era, I hope that you and all Arrowmen will continue to support Mike the way you have with me.
