Le temps détruit Trailer (1985)
10 October 1985 73 mins
Via the New York Times: ""Le Temps Detruit" is a low-keyed, dreamlike recollection of the first year of World War II as recorded in the letters sent home by three French soldiers, each of whom was killed shortly after the "phony war" came to an end with the German offensive in May 1940. One of these was the father of the film's director. The two others were Paul Nizan, the writer and Communist, who became disillusioned with Marxism when the Hitler-Stalin pact was signed, and Maurice Jaubert, the composer who wrote the scores for a number of films, including Jean Vigo's "Zero de Conduit.""

When the novel Shantaram was published in 2003, several parties, including actor Russell Crowe, expressed interest in a film adaptation. Although Crowe was temporarily attached to a bid, Warner Bros. went forward with a $2 million bid primarily due to actor Johnny Depp's expression of love for the book to studio executive Brad Grey. With the rights won, Depp was attached to star in the film, which was to be based on a script written by the book's author Gregory David Roberts.[15] Roberts commended the casting choice, and the author said of his intended script, "The screenplay I am writing will be as complex and will have the same sense of layering and texturing. Thematically, it will reflect everything that is in the heart of the book and that is the exile experience, and the power of love to transform and change the heart of a person. But the book is a book and the film is a film—they are different art forms so the film will have an independent life."[16] In October 2005, Warner Bros. hired screenwriter Eric Roth to rewrite the initial draft created by Roberts.[17] The following November, director Peter Weir was hired by the studio to helm Shantaram and develop the script with Roth. The studio originally planned to schedule production for late 2006.[18]
By June 2006, Weir departed from the project with a studio spokesperson citing different interpretations between the director and the studio and producers.[19] In January 2007, director Mira Nair replaced Weir at the helm. The studio anticipated production would begin by autumn 2007 for a 2008 release.[20] Roth began rewriting the script to lower project costs, and actor Amitabh Bachchan joined to star opposite Depp. By November 2007, the anticipated February production start was cancelled by Warner Bros, who cited the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike's interference with the script's readiness, the impending monsoon season in India, and Depp's schedule difficulties in filming between India and New Mexico in the United States.[21] The studio anticipated that production would finally begin in September 2008,[22] but by November 2009, with production not starting, The Independent reported the project had been cancelled.[23]
In May 2013, the Mumbai Mirror reported that Warner Bros. has negotiated to retain the film rights until 2015, fuelling speculation that a film adaptation of Shantaram is still in the works.[24]
In October 2013, it was announced that Joel Edgerton would be starring in the leading role, with Eric Roth penning the adaptation, and Johnny Depp now involved as a producer. Warner Bros. is in early talks with Garth Davis, co-director of the Emmy-nominated Top of the Lake, to make his feature film directing debut on the movie.[25][26]

Feature: Kevin Gates Deserves To Be on Top of Hip-Hop
Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:45:37
Plies Photos
Kevin Gates Videos
New Orleans has birthed yet another lyrical beast. We suggest you take notice too because he's going to claw right through the entire game.
Kevin Gates ignites a revolution in the South on his latest album, By Any Means. It's been a long time coming, and he's the man to galvanize and resuscitate real Southern hip-hop. The world's been responding too as the record debuted at #17 on the Billboard top 200 and moved over 17,000 units first-week, impressive numbers for the MC. XXL recognized in the coveted Freshmen Class, and all signs point to him climbing to the top of the game this year. Moreover, he genuinely deserves it.
Gates possesses a muscular flow that rivals anybody else out there. In fact, he completely stands on his own, sliding between breezy, confident hooks on the likes of "Wish I Had It" and gruff, gritty bars emblematic of his mic prowess during "Keep Fucking With Me" featuring Plies. The man also knows how to steer a hit too. "Don't Know" lights up an unshakable refrain that borders on soulful, while "Amnesia" teeters between tough and tight as Gates and the late Doe B volley back and forth.
At the same time, he opens up during "Movie" as he raps, "everything going wrong, in the back of my mind like what the fuck do they want from me. I'm only one man, and it's hard to operate when it ain't no sleep...women's hospital, where she was admitted supposed to be there for twelve, baby due in a minute, experience complication, baby no longer kicking". It's hypnotic, hard, and heartbreaking. Few guys can tell stories like that anymore.
Meanwhile, "Posed to Be In Love" is darkly entrancing, and his video captures that same vibe.
By Any Means not only remains his best work to date, but it's a new classic. It ushers in a special moment for Kevin Gates and establishes him as one of rap's most important MCs. The crown will be his soon.
—Rick Florino

WASHINGTON TIMES — Ferguson City Council members are set to vote Tuesday on an agreement with the Justice Department to overhaul the police and court systems — a plan that threatens to absorb one-fourth of the Missouri city's budget and to overwhelm even its ability to raise taxes.
The latest figures provided by city officials put the costs associated with the Justice Department's consent decree as high as $3.7 million in the first year for a city with an operating budget of $14.5 million and a budget deficit of $2.8 million this fiscal year.
In addition, the consent decree cripples what had been a principal source of revenue and a major cause of racial tension — such as fines for minor traffic offenses — while the city's notoriety and 2014 riots have damaged its ability to attract a taxable base that could generate money.
"We're going to have to come up with a plan for how we can afford those costs. Whether that's through taxes or whether that's through some sort of service cuts, there will have to be a plan that we can adopt in order to make this consent decree feasible," Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III told reporters at a meeting Feb. 2. "There's no use in signing a consent decree that you can't live up to."

Quick tip for Entourage users who want to try out: To import your Entourage contacts into Thunderbird, do the following:
1. In Entourage, export your contacts to a text file by choosing File > Export Contacts.
2. Open your file in Excel or another spreadsheet program and insert a new field called Display Name. You will need this field for best results in Thunderbird.
3. In Excel, make a formula to concatenate the First Name and Last Name fields. For me, this formula looked like this: =concatenate(A2+" "+A3). The single empty space in quotes ensures that the first name and last name will display correctly in Thunderbird.
4. Save your work in Excel and close your document.
2. In Thunderbird, choose Tools > Import
3. On the resulting dialog, select the Address Books button and click Next.
4. Select the Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt) and click Next
5. Navigate to your exported text file in the Open dialog box that appears, select it and click Open.
6. In the next dialog, you need to match up the fields from your Entourage export fields to your Thunderbird import fields. This dialog leaves a lot to be desired, but it will work if you are patient. I was not – only mapped the First Name, Last Name, Display Name, and Email fields. Click OK, then Finish, and you're done.

A McDonald's employee is being credited with saving a police officer's life thanks to his quick-thinking.
It seemed to be an ordinary Tuesday work day for McDonald's employee Pedro Viloria, but that soon changed when he noticed the signs of trouble in a customer. The worker stationed at the drive-thru window in Florida was gathering a patron's order when he noticed that she was having trouble breathing.
As the woman fell unconscious, her foot slipped off of the car's brake and the vehicle began rolling away. As children were in the backseat and the woman was clearly unconscious, Pedro didn't hesitate before jumping through the window and chasing after the vehicle.
The quick-thinker was able to bring the SUV to a halt and check the woman's pulse before dashing inside and calling for help. A customer rushed outside to perform CPR while Pedro and others waited for paramedics to arrive.
As it turns out, the woman was an off-duty police officer and was temporarily revived to stable condition with a defibrillator before being transported to a hospital. As GoodNewsNetwork shares, no news has yet been released on her condition. However, without Pedro's intervention, she may not have made it at all.
Watch the extraordinary footage below:

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the U.S. When an individual develops the condition, their damaged kidneys become incapable of removing waste from the bloodstream. The patient is then dependent on dialysis machines for the rest of their lives or until a transplant becomes available. Nephropathy is one of the more common complications of diabetes.
However, the researchers said that their new medication may disrupt the process that causes the damage to the kidneys that leads to nephropathy. In this process, a protein called transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is stimulated in the kidneys of individuals with diabetes by high blood sugar levels. This protein causes scarring, which impairs kidney function.
The new medication blocks TGF-β from initiating this process. In a clinical trial involving 77 patients with diabetic nephropathy, the researchers showed that their medication called pirfenidone significantly slowed the progression of kidney damage and prevented many patients from progressing to end-stage renal disease.
"To date, therapies for diabetic nephropathy have been limited to drugs that improve blood pressure or control blood sugar levels," said Kumar Sharma, who led the investigation. However, he added that by blocking TGF-β, pirfenidone effectively shuts down the process that causes kidney damage.
Sharma said that the next step in the development of the drug will be to test it on a larger group of individuals. If future studies show similar results, the medication could significantly reduce the prevalence of one of the most damaging complications of type 2 diabetes.

Icons are all around us. We are guided and informed by them every day. They have been used for tens-of-thousands of years to communicate critical ideas between humans and have even been attributed with mystical power. They are very closely connected to language itself and often fall between picture and letter form. Icons can be combined together to form complex ideas. A well-designed icon can communicate an idea as fast as our minds can think.
More and more it has become necessary to be able to communicate across cultural and linguistic barriers, and to do so quickly. As they have done for millennia, icons are able to communicate critical ideas between humans. From the walls of caves to rocks along common paths to human-computer interfaces, icons carry vital information from one human mind to another.
I love icons. No, I mean, I'm obsessed with icons and have been for about 25 years. It all started with a project in a first year graphic design class in which we had to create three objects in black and white, using only three line weights. I was terrible at it. But I loved the idea so I kept doing it. Then I fell in love with logos and logo design. But clients can be fickle, especially when they are writing the checks and I didn't like changing my designs to suit their whims. So I was naturally drawn to designing icons because I can design them exactly the way I want.
Over the years, I've bookmarked hundreds of websites with cool icon sets on them. I've learned a lot from these other designers. Some of them I've had the good fortune to meet and befriend. I admire the work of dozens of icon designers. While I'm mostly drawn to black and white icons and symbols, I do love color icons too and may try my hand at them at some point.
This website is intended primarily to catalog the work of any and every icon designer and set I can find. It is intended to be a showcase of high-quality icon designs, a ton of which are free. It is also intended to showcase and promote the designers themselves. And it is intended to be a high-quality resource for anyone interested in icons.
Iconify.info is a project by Scott Lewis of Iconify.it. I wanted to create a site to promote all icon design and designers, not just my own. Rather than focus on individual icon downloads like other directories such as The Noun Project or Iconfinder, Iconify.info lists icon designers, other icon sites, icon resources, and icon collections. Through this site I hope to promote the craft of icon design and to help web, print, and app designers easily find the icon sets and/or designers they need. If you notice a set that is not yet listed, I invite you to use the icon Submission form to suggest a set via a link to its site.
If you are an owner of one of the sets listed on this site, I invite you to help me better represent your work. Please get in touch via the Contact page and let me know how I can better serve you.

What are some of the key drawbacks with S-curve analysis?
The cause of S-curve drawbacks lies mainly in its lack of tying the schedule and budget to actual project progress. S-curves give little indication as to the cause of variations from projections. The S-curve simply points out deviation of cost in relation to time. It does not relation task completion to time or cost. Therefore, when a deviation is discovered it is unknown whether the project is on target so far as physical progress (whether work is being completed on, ahead or behind the anticipated time and budget). Without knowing the cause of the variance, managers may make incorrect assumptions about the status of the project.

AZ extend with duo
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
AZ Alkmaar have extended the contracts of defender Tim de Cler and keeper Theo Zwarthoed.
De Cler has never looked back since being moved on by Ajax in the summer of 2002, proving himself to be an integral figure for AZ.
The 25-year-old has played a key role for AZ as they have mixed it with the big players in De Eredivisie and the club have rewarded him for his efforts.
De Cler's previous deal was due to expire in the summer of 2005, but he has now added a further three years to his commitment to AZ.
AZ director of football Martin van Geel was pleased to have extended the contract of the talented defender.
"We are satisfied with his development and are pleased to have got a quality Dutch left back tied to us," van Geel told the club's website. "Especially when you look at the market."
AZ have also extended the contract of their talented young goalkeeper Theo Zwarthoed.
Zwarthoed's contract was due to expire next summer but he has now committed his future to the club until 2007.

Blame it on Facebook and its algorithms that like to remind me of things from the past. For the better and for the worse.
I re-read this one over the weekend and thought "yeah, that one needs a re-post."
So here we are, when Monday, January 30, 2017 feels a lot like Monday, January 28, 2013
A Treatise On Monday
Originally published January 28, 2013
Written this morning at something like 5:45am
And so we find ourselves back at Monday. Ah Monday, both the beginning and the end.
I have sad, tired, squinting, groundhog eyes as the alarm goes off. I'm begging the world not to pull me from my burrow. Please don't shine that bright light in my face.
But I'm pulled from my burrow anyway and instead of a prediction, the world anticipates my arrival at the train station and my seat on the next ride into the city.
The bright light turns out to be a beautiful ray of light, glimmering off the slowly rising sun.
All possibility is in Monday. Will this be a good week? Will this be a bad week? Will it rain?
Monday is everything and nothing. A blank canvas ready to take the paint.
What will I make of my Monday? What will I achieve? How will I stumble and will I recover gracefully?
It all exists here in these quiet pre-dawn hours. The sun hasn't even said hello yet and here I am, writing. Scribbling the words that want to exit my head.
There is already acrylic paint on my hands from a project that is due Thursday morning. I had to get some early painting done so I can hit that deadline.
In this Monday, all things are possible including finishing a painting that is due in just three days.
Oh my.
I feel strangely happy today. What the hell is this? How unusual for a Monday morning.
The weekend was weird. I was cranky and then he was cranky and then it was Sunday night and another two days of not working were jettisoned to the ether. Monday turned the corner and sat down for a visit.
So here I am again loading a backpack for work, stumbling around to find my badge and my phone and my sense of self-worth.
I look again at my canvas and already I fear I have screwed it up. Don't they say in art there are no mistakes? Just roll with it and incorporate the error. OCD and art are not friends. This major but fixable error must wait until later tonight to find its cloak.
There is a train to catch and a Monday to face. I'd rather stay home in my studio and put gorgeous turquoise paint on a willing canvas. Can I do that for a living?
You know, a girl can dream, and so I will dream as BART gently sways. When I disembark dreams stop so reality can start.
But no matter, I can dream again, later. Dreams don't die easy.
And dreams don't wait for the weekend.

It was just a week ago yesterday that I found myself in the world class city of Prague with a personal day on my hands.
The work part of the trip had been both busy and exhausting. My coworkers all left for home that morning but I had a tourist Friday ahead of me. The challenge: To see as many of the must-see Prague sights as possible in one day.
Now just eight days later, it seems almost like a dream.
A week ago it was very real. So real I had a fair bit of anxiety and no idea what lay ahead. The Good Man managed to talk me down from nine timezones away and with a deep breath, I screwed up my courage and headed out of the hotel room.
As luck would have it, there happened to be a Metro station right under the hotel.
So this is where my journey began:
A simple suburban Metro station that would take me *everywhere*
The hotel where I stayed is in the suburbs of Prague, but the Metro is so damn good it was a less than fifteen minute ride and I emerged at the bottom of Wenceslaus Square.
I had done some reading before arriving in Prague and I knew a bit about Wenceslaus Square.
Well, I knew three things:
Thing 1) The square is dominated by a statue of King Wenceslaus. As in "Good King Weceslaus blah blah, on the feast Stephen, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh, deep and crisp and even…"
What the hell is that song even about, anyway? Wait, let's hold that question for another time.
On that day, I knew that Saint Wenceslaus is considered the patron saint of the Czech Republic.
So I walked uphill and gawked at the shops and restaurants and soon found myself in the shadow of the Good King and his steed.
That there is a gooood king
Thing 2) Wenceslaus Square is incredibly historic, considered the very heart of the city of Prague, and it is a World Heritage Site because it was on that very square in 1989 that the Velvet Revolution happened.
What is the Velvet Revolution, you say? I'm so glad you asked.
The Velvet Revolution is when the then Czechoslovakia decided it had had just about enough (MORE than enough) and threw off Communist rule. They then became their own self-managed country with a parliament.
This is a very, very big deal. It utterly changed the course of the Czech people. For the better.
I have a coworker who grew up in Prague. She left as a teenager in 1984. She said, "We had to leave. We had so much despair. We believed it would never change."
It would eventually change, but it would take a few more years.
So I stood on this square, a lost little girl from New Mexico, and thought about how much happened right where my feet stood. How these people took back their own destiny.
See where all those tourists are? History happened there.
Thing 3) At the top of Wenceslaus Square, behind the statue and in front of the museum something particularly sad and historic happened.
In 1968, a student named Jan Palach protested the invasion and eventual fall of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union during what was called the Prague Spring. He did so by committing suicide by self-immolation.
"…Palach did not set himself on fire to protest against the Soviet occupation, but did so to protest against the 'demoralization' of Czechoslovak citizens caused by the occupation." – from a doctor who treated Palach (wiki)
I think that sense of demoralization and despair runs strong through the history of the Czech people. In my experience, they are a very laid back and easy going people, but there is that sadness underneath. Well, maybe not sadness, just…world weary.
I wanted to find the small marker of Palach's history that is embedded in the brickwork in front of the museum. I have to say I was greatly moved. There were flowers at the site, meaning people still remember and still care about what he did.
This is a simple but powerful marker
Well, that was a bit of a dark start to my day of exploration, but it also really touched me.
From there, I hopped back on the Metro and made my way to Old Town Square. The mood and attitude in the Old Town area could not have been more different.
The Old Town Square is beautiful, but incredibly overrun by tourists. Okay, sure, I was also a tourist, but you get what I mean.
Along with tourists there were an awful lot of flim-flam men (and women), grifters and pickpockets. At one point I stopped to look at maps on my phone to see if I was heading the right direction, and saw no less than three people make a move toward me.
San Francisco is a tourist town and I'm fairly used to this sort of untoward behavior, so each person got my patented City Stink Eye. The one that lets people know I am not to be trifled with.
They soon backed up, but that kind of predatory behavior was pretty rampant in the Old Town area. I was waving off sellers, beggars and all around questionable sorts left and right. I also kept a firm grip on my bag as I heard from several places that the pickpocketing is quite bad.
The main reason to be in Old Town, apart from admiring the amazing architecture, was to see the Astronomical Clock located at the Old Town Hall building.
Of course my favorite part was the skeleton
This clock was installed in 1410. Um, what? 14 freaking 10? Wow.
As luck would have it, I was there at about twenty minutes to the top of the hour, so I waited with all of the many tourists, in the rain I might add, to watch the clock's mechanics at the top of the hour. A skeleton rings a bell, the animated figures come to life, and above the clock statues of the twelve apostles zip by and look out the windows.
It was very quaint and lovely, and I'm glad I saw it. Not much more to say than that. More than a Clark Griswald shrug, less than rapturous delight.
After taking some photos of the beautiful buildings on the square, I then made my way onward to the Charles Bridge.
The most famous of the bridges across the Vltava River, the Charles Bridge began construction in 1357.
You know how sometimes Europeans give Americans a wry smile when we talk about our deep history? Yeah, this is why. In 1357 they were building bridges that would safely transport my tired little toes across the same river some 659 years later. America wasn't even a twinkle in the eye of Columbus in 1357.
The stroll across the bridge was certainly lively. Lots of people, lots of selfie sticks (ugh), quite a few pickpockets and an awful lot of Catholic statues. Like, a LOT of Catholic statues.
Felt like I needed to go to confession when I got to the other side, ba-dum, tish!
It was hard to pick just one photo from my walk across the river, but let's go with this one:
The walk across the bridge was quite pleasing especially since the rain had moved on and a bright blue Czech sky emerged. Quite lovely.
The part of Prague on the other side of the bridge is known as Lesser Quarter, which I find quite a rude name. There was nothing lesser about this side of the bridge in my opinion. It is much quieter, calmer and less busy. It suited me just fine.
At this point, my legs, feet and bladder asked nicely if we could stop, so I landed at a coffee shop.
Over a lovely icy coffee, I tweeted exactly how I felt in that moment on that day.
As my legs relaxed, I listened to a group of four Czech students argue and debate and I watched life happen outside the glass door. I felt enormously contented. It's those moments I will remember long after I've come back to my regular life. It's those moments I wait for on each international trip I take. It's what makes all of those long and ugly plane miles worth it.
Yeah. Seriously, may I never forget how good I felt in that moment.
Now fortified, I moved on to my last stop of the day, St Nicholas Church.
The guidebook I pondered over coffee told me that it was a beautiful example of a baroque church. I do like to see some of the old and over the top churches in Europe, so I was game.
The guidebook also mentioned the bell tower at the church. How it had been used by the communists to keep an eye on the American Embassy nearby, and that it offered some of the best views in all of Prague.
Impulse overtook me and I smacked down 90 koruna for a ticket and began climbing the stairs.
What in the utter hell was I thinking? One, my legs were already tired, two I'm in okay shape but stair climbing is tough, and three my asthma was like "hey, what's up?"
But I kept climbing the spiral stairs and narrow ladders until it got more and more exhausting and claustrophobia inducing (and I don't often struggle with claustrophobia).
At more than one point I had to remind myself that I managed to get myself into this situation and had to figure out how to get myself out.
My bullish determination kicked in and I made a promise I would make it all the way to the top.
Along the way I found the watchmen's quarters, a sparse room with a small bed, rough wood table and open brickwork fireplace.
When there were windows, I looked out then kept climbing. Finally, I could smell the fresh air of outside and found myself at a narrow deck that encircled the tower. There was a guide there and she told me to go outside (I didn't understand what the signs meant and had hesitated).
Wow. Truly. Wow. I was stunned at seeing all of Prague laid out before me.
The sky stippled with clouds and the sun began its slow descent toward the end of the day and there I stood taking it all in.
And hey, I wasn't even at the top of the tower yet. After taking quite a few photos with both of my cameras, I kept climbing. The very, very top of the tower, at the end of 215 steps, was less interesting. It was low ceilinged, cramped, stuffy and the windows were small.
So I went back down to the narrow deck and took another spin.
With that, I declared myself done for the day. Ready to head back to the hotel.
I came down all 215 steps a lot faster than I went up and made myself dizzy. Wobbly on my pins, I chose instead to stop for some dinner and I'm glad I did. I found a funny little restaurant where they treated me nice and I ate something they called Slovak gnocchi, which a short Google search later assured me is actually a thing.
A very delicious thing.
I wanted to have a nice Czech beer alongside, but worried a beer would drop me right to the ground so I opted for something milder.
After eating my fill, I set out back across the Charles Bridge. The mood on the bridge had changed. I crossed east to west at about 2:45pm and came back west to east at close to 6:00pm. There were more people out and the Friday revelry had begun. It was funny how quickly the mood had shifted.
On the way back, I made sure I touched the two lucky spots on the bridge, once with my left hand for my husband, the southpaw, once with my right hand for me.
One of the two lucky spots, though a bit grim. So this priest was thrown in the water…
A nice twilight stroll and I soon found myself back at a Metro station waiting to head back to the hotel and the end of my stay in Prague.
There are quite a few more things I wish I could have found time to see while in Prague. The Apple Museum, the castle, and the art gallery, to name but a few, but I was grateful to have one full free day to see the best of what Prague had to offer.
Prague is a gorgeous, easy and fun city. I loved every minute of my time there and wonder if someday I will ever find my way back.
I suppose I can dream.
Meanwhile, at a week later I think my legs have finally recovered. Seriously, 215 stairs? C'mon!
And to the good people of Prague, I say děkuji for treating me so very well.

File this under "The Joys of Owning a 15-Year-Old Vehicle"
Yesterday was a weird day. I mean, when you are me most days are weird, but yesterday was especially so.
To kick off the festivities, I forgot my work badge and had a meeting in a special super secure location. It was okay, I simply had to run the security gauntlet which included one security guard keeping a sharp eye on me while the other spoke in low tones to the Human Resources Department.
Turns out I'm still an employee so they grudgingly let me through.
After the meeting, I went back to my building and because I didn't have my badge, I couldn't get into the garage. The alternative was to park on the street outside.
After parallel parking, I gave my car a visual sweep because this neighborhood has a pretty bad smash and grab problem. Satisfied that there was nothing of any value in the Jeep, I headed inside.
At the end of the day, weary from a long day of solving other people's problems and fighting fires, I walked to my car to discover that during the course of the day someone had smacked hard into the back bumper of my beloved hoopty. Someone in a white car by the looks of the stripe now tattooed into my black bumper.
Joke is on them, under that bumper is a solid steel towing package that is attached to the frame of my treasured Jeep. My bumper is a bit dented but they caught the worst of it, that is for certain.
With a sigh and a shrug, I got into the driver's seat and I thought "something looks different." My tired eyes roved around the Jeep, heart sinking, expecting something bad.
That's when I saw my rearview mirror wedged between the passenger seat and the floor.
They smacked my bumper so damn hard it knocked the mirror off my windshield! Sonovabiscuit!
Let's be fair, at fifteen years of age that mirror likely wasn't very strong in it's moorings anyway. But kind of a nuisance to see it laying on the floor.
You don't know what you've got until it's gone. I never really realized how often I look in the rearview mirror when I drive. It's a lot. Which I suppose is good.
On the plus side, with no mirror in my line of view it was a lot easier to see the crazy college kids who rabbit out from between cars in my neighborhood. Next week is their Spring Break so they are especially hoppy lately. (nothing compared to finals week though, oh my)
So yeah, my tired old Jeep is a little worse for the wear. I will call in an insurance claim because parking around here is so weird that this isn't first smacking the bumper has taken.
The insurance claim is a crapshoot, the cost to fix it may be more than the vehicle is worth. We'll see. Maybe they can factor in how much the vehicle means to ME? Anyone? Huh?
Ah well, I have the side mirrors to guide me home and some sort of made up inspirational quote about not looking too much in the rearview.
Or something.
And I thought happiness was Lubbock, Texas in my rearview mirror.

A couple days ago I mentioned that I had been in Chicago for a writer's conference at the end of March.
I've been to Chicago many times (as in passing through on my way elsewhere) but I've never really been to Chicago. When a couple ladies from my class said they wanted to go into downtown for dinner I was totally on board.
We hopped on the L and headed from Rosemont into downtown and walked around.
The ladies were intent on seeing Cloud Gate, colloquially known as "The Bean" and I was onboard.
It just so happened that the March theme for my photography club was night photography, so I took along a camera just in case I saw something good.
The Bean is like any touristy object, it's been photographed thousands of times. I had no idea what I could do to improve on what's already been done, so I just had fun with this shiny reflective piece of art.
Here's what I got:
Image Copyright © 2015 Karen Fayeth
I think the Chicago skyline is so beautiful and a bit iconic as well. I love that at certain angles, the polished surface of the Cloud Gate just disappears into the sky like liquid silver. It's really cool!
My favorite part of the whole night was when my fellow travelers and I had found our way to Millennium Park and were a bit lost trying to find The Bean inside the park.
At one point, a bunch of kids came running and flowed around me like a stream while they pointed and shouted "El Frijol! Mira! Mira! El Frijol!" I smiled because I knew I was near. And I laughed because of course it's called El Frijol. My New Mexican pride stool tall as I found that big shiny bean.
I love the shot, but I wasn't sure anyone else would. Turns out this photo took second place in the voting for my photography club's monthly challenge, and that makes me happy (missed first place by one vote!).
After The Bean, we found our way to Giordanos because hello Chicago style pizza! Can you believe I forgot to take a photo of that delicious deep dish? Oh well.
This photo of Cloud Gate brings me good memories of downtown Chicago. I look at this beautiful bean photo and I smile.
Chicago is such a great city. Really top notch. I can't wait to go back.

That moment when you are sitting at stoplight as a pedestrian crosses with the light in front of your headlights and you notice that the morning sun is giving this gentleman a solid backlighting. As he is directly in front of your view, you notice that the hairs that extend well past his nostrils are beautifully set to glowing by the golden California sun.
And you think to yourself, "Oh wow. That's…well that's something." And you laugh alone in your car because why not. You can sing in there so why can't you cackle like a dyspeptic hen in there?
And as you turn the corner and head into the parking garage you think to yourself. "Don't laugh, sparky. There but for the grace of a nose hair trimmer go you."
So then you surreptitiously check both barrels of your own breathing device to see if the protective filtering is tidy and in place.
And you realize that, you know, you could use a little trim yourself.
So you sit in the car and in the morning light of a California sunrise and you use the scissors from your small Swiss Army Knife to give a quick clip, just enough to let your sanity rest during the day that lies ahead. Because no one should have to worry all day long about the nostril streamers that suddenly seem to grow with less control than they once did.
And when done, you feel both satisfied and mildly crazy and kind of blind because why didn't you notice a trim was in order when you looked at your tired face in the mirror this morning?
But alas, you did not. Then you vow to take care of this problem more fully later tonight. And you should probably put on your reading glasses and give the eyebrows a check too because I bet those are out of control.
And then you get out of your car and walk into the office and enter this crazy day in a crazy way with crazy hair growing in crazy places.
Did you ever have a day like that? Yeah, um, me neither.

All the Mysteries 'Revenge' Needs to Solve
After way too long in hiatus Revenge returns tonight to tease us with its final six episodes before ending in a frustrating cliffhanger that we're going to be arguing with our friends about all summer while in the Hamptons. But before then there are a number of loose ends that Emily Thorne and company need to tie up before taking their time off. Let's address them now.
Why did Satoshi kill Tyler? Emily Thorne (which, for our purposes, is what we will call the lady played by Emily van Camp that the Graysons and the rest of the world know as Emily Thorne but we know that she is the real Amanda Clark) had her world plunged into chaos when her fiance Daniel was accused of murdering his ex-best friend Tyler on the beach. We know it wasn't him, it was Emily's Mr. Miagi, Satoshi. But why did the mysterious man do it? Does he have a larger plan in mind?
Where is Amanda? Amanda, the murderous stripper, was also on the beach that night when Tyler was killed, but she ran off and got in Satoshi's car and drove off into the night with him. But where did he put her? When is she going to come back? Does she hate Emily now that she knows the extent of her plan? Is she the one who will be taking revenge in season two?
How do Nolan and Satoshi know each other? On the night of the murder, we found out that Nolan sabotaged the security cameras at Grayson Manor (which is not where He-Man gets his powers, btw) and glared at Satoshi when he was at the party. How do these two know each other? Are they in some billionaires club together? Is Tyler in on whatever plot Satoshi is hatching to either destroy the Graysons or destroy Emily or take over the world?
What is up with Satoshi anyway? We know he taught Emily all her evil mastermind skills and that he isn't happy with the way she's been handling the Graysons up until now, but when are we going to get some flashbacks and find out who he really is?
Are we supposed to believe that Emily's black hair in the flashbacks isn't a cheap wig she bought at Ricky's? No, seriously, are we? Because worse than looking fake, it looks cheap. No one believes that's not a wig!
Where is Amber Valletta? One of the campiest and most enjoyable parts of the beginning of the season was watching Amber Valletta barely play the role of Lydia, Conrad's mistress and the icy frenemy of Victoria. You remember her, the one who got thrown out of a window and then was in a coma and then had amnesia: The three staples of nighttime soaps. What happened to Lydia? Why can't we bring her back? We must find some more ridiculous situations for her to fall into. Maybe she is really Emily/Amanda's mother? That would be so awesome.
What is going to happen to Charlotte? Poor Charlotte Grayson knows that her father is David Clark (or is it?) and she is all upset. She's also working on a serious pill problem. Will they send her away to rehab (or boarding school) because they're out of things to do to poor Charlotte? Is she going to be the Tina Yothers of this cast and forgotten because there are more important storylines to tend to? Who is going to last longer on the show, her or Ashley, who is totally going to be the next one either murdered or sent to jail?
Where did Erik Van Der Woodsen's accent go? Jack's brother Declan started the season with an annoying accent that is not found anywhere in nature. Then it stopped. Did someone finally tell him how ridiculous it sounded?
How many polo shirts is too many? I know the answer to this one. It is two, Nolan. Two polo shirts on top of each other is one (or two) too many.

Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photographic act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period.

Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.

ANBU's Unforeseen Record Breaker
Summary: ANBU team number 37 was in need of the Byakugan. Under extraordinary circumstances, Hyuuga Hinata was the only available carrier at the time. The Hokage must make one of the most difficult decisions of his career. With startling results.
Her footsteps were light and fast and almost entirely noiseless in the night. She'd be leaving the cover of trees soon and her rapidly beating heart sped even faster in her anxiety. But the other heartbeat, the only thing that breached her world of darkness and gave her a light to follow, was so, so close.
She jumped from the last tree and landed low on the hard packed dirt, throwing caution to the wind and speeding straight through the gates without breaking pace.
They were following her now, after her abrupt appearance to their senses, shouting back and forth to each other. She hadn't a care for their words, just noise to her ears, nor their presence; she was just so close.
They were hot on her heels and gaining fast after recovering from their initial shock. She dodged their projectiles with an effortlessness that came from knowing their aim even before they did.
The heartbeat was so close, just a little farther, and then she was there, standing before it, the one clear light in her new world of darkness. And she spoke for the first time in weeks:
Chapter I
Hyuuga Hinata was content with being a member of team 8. Her Jounin sensei, Yuuhi Kurenai, was a woman that Hinata had known since her early childhood. And with an embarrassing amount of inward emotion, she thought of the older woman as one of the people she cared most for.
Her fellow Genin, Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino, come from prominent tracking clans that Hinata's Byakugan could easily compliment; though it seemed kind of a waste for three such trackers to be on the same team.
The four of them had been a team for a month now and Hinata was beginning to feel despair sink into her small body. She hadn't understood it at first. They were kind, caring, and patient toward her, but as the days passed she realized that it was only toward her.
Kiba never argued with her like he did with Shino. Kurenai was never as harsh with her as she was with Kiba. And Shino was always watching her, as if making sure she didn't hurt herself. They even went so far as helping her with menial tasks when they thought she needed it, even when she didn't. It was borderline insulting.
They weren't treating her like an equal member of team 8; they were treating her like an invalid, like she couldn't handle the same things they could. Was it not enough that she graduated fourth in their class? One of her greatest fears was that, like her father, she'd never be good enough for them.
Hinata sighed and sat up in her bed to look out the window at the near full moon. Their actions told her that, just like everyone else, they thought she was pathetic. This knowledge didn't anger her, she was used to it, but it did fill her to the brim with hopelessness. How was she ever going to get stronger if not even her team let her get her hands dirty?
She fell asleep with the wish that things would change upon her lips.
When Hinata woke that morning, she was tired both physically and mentally. She finished dressing and headed downstairs to join her fellow clan members in the dining hall for a silent breakfast even though she wasn't hungry.
Hinata hated participating in Hyuuga daily meals. She would have rather starved than enter and stay in the tense atmosphere that overfilled the room. She also knew that she'd never be allowed to malnourish herself. Let alone the complaints she would get if the heir to the clan didn't show at all.
Hinata struggled to walk to her seat at a steady pace and not trip over herself. Even if her father barely paid attention to her any more, she didn't want to attract his disapproving gaze. When she neared her chair to the right of her father's at the end of the table, as per usual of the heir, she finally pealed her eyes off the floor and the instant she took in her surroundings, her face burned in shame.
It was an extremely rare occasion that the dining hall was ever over half filled. The Hyuuga were a Shinobi clan after all, and Shinobi had responsibilities outside the compound.
However, Hinata had been so uncomfortable entering that she had unconsciously shut down all her senses and failed to realize the distinct lack of people present. The few who were there were either too young or too old to be active Shinobi.
Hinata let out the breath she had been holding. Her father was not among the people present and neither were the elders. Though she was sure that someone in the room was assigned to watch her every move, the thought just wasn't as intimidating as the physical presence of her father. She allowed herself to relax and set her senses free.
Either the Byakugan was on high demand today, or her father had taken a large convoy to some foreign diplomatic meeting she hadn't been told about. She figured it was both.
'Hanabi', Hinata recognized her sister even before she casually strolled into the hall and sat across from her. The younger of the two confirmed her sister's musings about their father with a simple sentence, "Otou-sama will not be back until Friday." Today was Wednesday.
Hanabi and their father held a vigorous training schedule and so he was quick to inform her when there was a change of plans. She then reported to Hinata.
Hinata smiled and thanked her little sister for the information before asking, "W-would you like to train to-together this a-afternoon then?"
Hanabi immediately beamed at her older sister and nodded twice fast. She didn't understand why their father despised Hinata so much. She secretly adored her and basked in her motherly affections.
Hinata's praise was so much different from their father's. His were cold expectation, while hers were filled with warmth and congratulations. Everything was more fun with Hinata because she was allowed to act like the seven year old kid she was.
They finished their meal in relative silence with Hanabi fidgeting with excitement every now and then. Hinata couldn't shake her happy smile the whole time. All the gloomy thoughts from the night before were banished from her mind as she basked in her sister's love that was only revealed when their father was not present.
They left the hall together with Hanabi bouncing along in front. Hinata absently noted the arthritic ex-kunoichi watching from twenty-five and a half meters behind them. She had grown adept at knowing when she was being watched. Excluding of course when her father is around and all she can concentrate on is his being there.
They reached an intersection and Hinata was about to head off for her team meeting, when Hanabi suddenly ran into someone while saying her goodbyes. Neji was obviously in a hurry to grab something to eat before heading off for a mission. He was too preoccupied with the details of said weeklong mission to notice Hanabi.
His momentum took them both to the ground. Hanabi shrieked in outrage as they both climbed to their feet. "What the hell do you think you're doing branch? You should have watched where you were going if you knew what was best for your health!"
Hinata was already in motion when Hanabi's mouth opened but when she formed a seal and Neji's face began to contort in pain, there was no time to hold back.
A resounding slap filled the hallway as Hanabi was forced to the ground again, successfully ending the jutsu before it could fully start.
All was silent as Hinata stared at her little sister in anger, her hand still raised. She had never hit Hanabi so hard in her life. Not even when they sparred.
Hanabi's face flushed with shock, anger, and embarrassment as Hinata spoke. "How DARE you Hanabi? How dare you? Neji-nii-san is our family! I don't want to ever see or hear of you using that seal again. Do you understand?" stunned silence met her words. "Do. You. Understand?" She couldn't even stutter in her heated fury.
Hanabi looked down, absolutely mortified. Hinata, her big sister, just painfully struck her down. Hinata, her only source of warmth in this world, just yelled at her with such angry, disappointed eyes. All over something that was such a big part of the Hyuuga clan. Hanabi felt like she wanted to cry and indeed she already felt the stinging in her eyes.
Hanabi all of a sudden wanted Hinata to pay for the pain she was giving her. To hurt her sister as she had hurt her. Her head shot up to stare at her favorite person in the world, with angry, water filled eyes. Neji forgotten.
"I understand now," Hanabi said, "You may be no better than them but I am. Father was right. You are weak, and pathetic, and totally unsuited to be the Hyuuga's heiress. I hope he brands you and throws you into the branch house where you belong!" With that Hanabi got up and ran away. Hinata watched her go and the pain from the night before rapidly swallowed her up and threatened to kill her.
Neji didn't know what to feel let alone say, so he left his frozen cousin in the middle of the hall, to meet his team without breakfast.
Hinata ran as fast as she could out of the house and beyond the compound walls to meet with her team. She would not cry. She wouldn't! Crying would mean that she was sorry for what she did to Hanabi and she wasn't. She had deserved it, but…did Hanabi really feel that way?
Hinata sucked in a shuddering breath and shook her head to clear it. She refused to let her team see her any weaker than they already did. The pain remained however. Sharp, vicious, and constant.
She is the only one currently in the village that is an active Shinobi. Time is of the essence.
Is it impossible to suggest that one of them come out of retirement for this?
The Hyuuga are a proud Shinobi clan. Those who retire do so because they are unable to function properly anymore.
She is just a child.
She forfeit her right to a childhood when she became a Shinobi.
I too, believe it to be a necessary sacrifice.
Yes, you are right. I shall send for her, but keep in mind that if she refuses the mission. I will not force her.
Yes of course but as was said before, the Hyuuga are a proud clan.
Hinata was an expert at concealing pain, both mental and physical, so Team 8 completed 4 D-rank missions before noon, without a hitch. They decided that after a quick lunch at one of the small restaurants in town that they would complete the day with team training.
However, just as they were about to bypass Ichiraku Ramen in search of some other provider of substance, the Hokage's personal messenger dropped down in front of them.
He quickly handed a scroll to Kurenai and stated, "Hyuuga Hinata is requested at the Hokage's office as soon as possible." He then abruptly vanished in a generic puff of smoke.
Hirata turned to her sensei, who had still not opened the scroll in shock, with confused if somewhat frightened eyes. "You'd better get going Hinata, it's not wise to keep Hokage-sama waiting," Kurenai told her and in an attempt to offer last minute advice added, "Just be respectful and try to speak as clearly as possible."
With that Hinata took to the roofs at a fast pace in an attempt to both adhere to her sensei's advice and calm her nerves through physical exertion. Running had always managed to soothe her in the past and she just hoped it worked this time. Hinata had never been called to the Hokage's office without her team or father present, so to say she was a bit nervous would be an understatement.
When Hinata found herself outside the doors of the Hokage Tower, she was disappointed that the run hadn't cleared all her nervousness, but it did give her time to think. So before she stepped foot in his office she threw away her misgivings and resolved herself to trust her leader and do whatever he asked her to do to the best of her ability.
"Hyuuga Hinata, I have a mission of great importance to our village's safety, the likes of which your Byakugan would be a valued asset to. Due to a series of highly unusual circumstances, you are the only remaining Hyuuga within our village's walls on active duty and there is little time. This mission will be severely different than any you have completed so far. It will be dangerous…
(Darkness shrouds her as she runs desperately through the night. Her lungs burn and just when she thinks she can run no longer, she is forced to dodge out of the way of a precisely thrown kunai. To keep running is useless, she can't shake him, she'll have to stand and fight.)
"…it will be deadly,
(His blood splashes her face and chest as he falls. She turns around and hurls as she realizes that the metallic she tastes is his once life giving blood within her mouth.)
"…and I cannot guarantee that all of you will make it back alive. If you decide to accept the mission, bring a light pack of absolute necessities needed to survive for six days to debriefing room number 28 where you will meet your temporary teammates. If you decide not to accept," the grandfather in him added, "no one will think any less of you. I urge you to think your decision through carefully. You have two hours."
"Hai, H-hokage-sama." Hinata's voice was strictly polite and her face impassive. It was times like these that she was grateful for her Hyuuga etiquette training.
It was only out of respect for her Hokage's wishes that she left his office without immediately voicing her decision.
As she walked the brightly colored halls of the Hokage Tower on her way outside, she allowed her Hyuuga visage to drop and her breathing became a little less controlled. This was no kiddy mission like picking weeds or chasing stray animals. It was the real deal and she'll have to do it with complete strangers.
She suddenly needed air, or risk hyperventilating in the middle of the Hokage Tower. There was a window just across the hall. She ran to it and pushed it open with perhaps a little too much force before hurdling herself through it. It was only after she was pass the wooden frame did she realized that she was on the fourth floor and that landing on her face in front of the Hokage Tower, was almost as bad, if not worse, as hyperventilating within its walls.
She would have to make the landing impressive or hazard the possibility of having the humiliating event reach the ears of her father and that was just not acceptable.

COPENHAGEN: Danish wind turbines set a new world record by generating nearly half of all the electricity consumed by the Scandinavian country in 2015, an official from state-owned Energinet.dk said on Monday.
"It was much windier in 2015 than during an average year," spokeswoman Hanne Storm Edlefsen said.
Wind energy production capacity had grown "a little bit, but that is not what explains the big increase," she added.
Energy: Wind power plant starts operation
Peaking at 42.1% for 2015, the number notched up from 39.1% of electricity consumption in 2014, when Denmark was followed by Portugal at 24% and then Spain at 20.4%, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Denmark was on track to meet its target of generating 50% of its electricity from wind power by 2020, Edlefsen said.
Wind energy production had actually exceeded electricity consumption 16% of the time in western Denmark, where most of the country's wind turbines are located, Energinet.dk said.
Work starts on K-Electric's $400 million project
"If, for some hours, we have surplus wind energy, the producers sell it to consumers in Norway, Sweden and Germany," spokesman Carsten Vittrup said in a statement.
"Conversely, we buy hydroelectric power from Norway, solar energy from Germany and power station electricity from Sweden, when it is advantageous," he added.
