The gigantic mushroom produced by the bomb covered over 100 miles wide and totally vaporized one of the Atolls, which disappeared. Large amounts of fall-out fell back into the ocean. The Atomic Energy Commission stated this bomb was the first in a series, with others to follow in that area.
One of the biggest worries the U.S. had was that the effect of radiation on the natives would be disastrous. Scientists calculated the area that would be in danger, and moved the natives to the island of Rongerik, eventually moving to two other islands, the last move being in 1949. Since the blast would be the largest ever man-made explosion so far, radiation poisoning of the natives was a real worry. A 23 man crew of the Japanese fishing boat "Fukuryu Maru" suffered radiation burns and contamination, even though the boat was 80 miles from the test zone at the time of the explosion. The results of their radiation sickness was severe. A total of 264 people were accidentally exposed to radiation due to the unexpected size of the explosion, which was considerably larger than expected.
The natives were granted $325,000 in return for their departure from the area, however in 1974, 20 years later, they were allowed to return. Their return was only temporary, as they had to be evacuated four years later when high levels on radioactivity was discovered there. Twenty three nuclear tests were carried out at Bikini between 1946 and 1958.
The bomb on Bikini was the second there, as a 10.4 megaton bomb was exploded previously in 1952 at Enewatak, west of Bikini. That bomb completely destroyed one island and left a crater 175 feet deep. The Enewatak bomb was also hundreds of times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb. The Enewatak weapon gained even greater destructive power by using a procedure which forced together together nuclei of hydrogen as compared to splitting atomic nuclei.
In 1961 Russia exploded a 50 megaton bomb.

The late, great William Safire
Pulitzer Prize-winning opinion columnist William Safire died Sunday at age 79.
The News Tribune carried his New York Times opinion column for many years (our online archives don't go back far enough for me to figure out when we started running it, but it was before my time).
As the person who gives the columns a first read before they go in the paper, I occasionally interact with columnists if I have a question or a correction. I recall only one time having to e-mail Safire with a suggested correction. He promptly replied, graciously thanked me and quickly moved a correction to his column over the wire.
Here's a memorable column of his that we ran in January 2005, shortly before he retired from writing his regular political opinion column.
Character defines people and nations
WASHINGTON – What's the secret to long-run success?
For a person, it's useful to have the smarts, look great, be lucky and exude charisma. All that is not enough.
For a political party, it helps to have good organization, articulate candidates and pollsters to discern a popular set of issues. Not enough.
For a nation, success can seem assured by natural resources, free enterprise, a culture of compassion and a free press. It can still go under. Read more »

16 September 2014. Phuket, Thailand- Two community based Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) in Loei, Thailand, namely Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai, are now facing charges following a criminal defamation suit. Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai are both members of the Khon Rak Ban Kerd (KRBK) community.
The KRBK group consists of villagers from 6 villages affected by the gold mining operations from the gold-mining company Tung Kha Limited Company (TKL). The KRBK group strives to protect the environment and to defend natural resources against exploitation by unethical investors who have no respect for the wellbeing of the local people and community, environment, public health and human rights.
Eleven organisations, including Protection International, have signed a joint statement demanding the TKL to immediately withdraw the lawsuits. Moreover, they call on the diplomatic community to, amongst other things, provide visible recognition of the work of the HRDs and to attend and observe, where appropriate, court trials of Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai.
Please read their joint statement below.
Joint Statement – 15/9/2014
Thailand: Tungkum Limited (TKL) must drop the Defamation Case against two community based Human Right Defenders (HRDs) in Loei . Tungkum Limited (TKL) filed defamation suit in Phuket provincial court against Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai, two communities based Human Rights Defender (HRDs).
Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai received a court summons on Saturday 13 September 2014. Based on the court affidavit dated 15 August 2014, the company is accusing Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat of damaging the reputation of the company by give interview to TV station TNN24 on 16-17th May 2014 and Ms. Porntip Hongcha of damaging the reputation of the company in an interview on Nation TV on 16th May 2014. The company demands that both defendant/s publish the judgment in 5 main daily newspapers in Thailand for 30 days and that the defendant/s be responsible for expenses.
We, the undersigned organisations call on Tungkum Limited (TKL) (the mining company) to immediately withdraw the defamation suit, which appears to have no other purpose than to silence critics by threat of financial ruin. Furthermore, the lawsuit may have the intention of trying to stifle freedom of speech and expression of other villagers and public advocates who would otherwise speak out against fundamental rights violation brought about by the gold mining operation.
Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai are core persons in the committee of The Khon Rak Ban Koed Group (KRBK), a group of villagers from six villages including Nanongbong, who currently are struggling to protect the environment and natural resources of their village and for the survival of their community's existing agricultural practices. The KRBK Group, in particular, protested the mining industry and the expansion of the Phuthapfa gold mine by Tungkum Limited (TKL) in the Loei province in North Eastern Thailand.
The media interview highlighted the incident of 15 May 2014, when around 10.00 pm, a group of approximately 300 unidentified armed men wearing black uniforms entered the Nanongbong village. They started beating up the villagers on guard duty. The villagers' wrists and ankles were then bound. The armed men took about 40 villagers, half of whom women, as captives or 'hostages', including two key leaders of the community struggle against the mine. The 'captives' were then placed face down on the ground, while their hands and feet were bound.
The barriers that the villagers had constructed to block access to the mine were then destroyed, and about 13 trucks were seen transporting materials from the mine. The villagers were held captive for about seven hours and finally released at about 4.30 am. They reported being assaulted and threatened with guns, and some women victims said that their captors threatened to rape them as they lay there with hands and feet bound. The violent attack caused injuries with several villagers, as well as loss of personal property. More than 20 villagers suffered injuries, of which at least 7 were severely injured and had to be hospitalized. Many villagers also lost valuable property such as gold chains, and some villagers also were victim of property damage.
The criminal complaint filed by Tungkum Limited (TKL) (the Company) against Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai constitutes an attack on their legitimate work as Human Rights Defenders (HRDs). It undermines the freedom of expression and speech. Both these HRDs are dedicated individuals, who work tirelessly to empower individuals and communities to enable them to claim their basic entitlements as human beings. Surapan and Porntip are both courageous and visionary in their work to promote and protect human rights. They have called for public and government attention and action on the impact of mining projects on the poor and disadvantaged, they have pushed for multinational corporations to be held morally and legally accountable when their actions or omissions deprive people of their basic human rights. It is against public interest for corporations to target and/or 'go after' Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) who highlight alleged human rights violations.
This company has already taken seven (7) criminal and civil cases against Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat, with total demands of more than 270 million baht plus 10 million baht per day since September 2013 (USD 8.3 Million plus 309,792 USD per day). Likewise, Ms. Porntip Hongchai has also been sued by this same company in one criminal and civil case, who charge her 70 million baht (USD 2.2 Million) for compensation.
The use of criminal and civil actions by corporations and/or governments to silence HRDs, and to deter others from continuing the struggle for human rights is wrong, and must be condemned. Such cases by corporations are attempts to divert the HRD's attention from the human rights issue. They moreover afflict the HRDs with stress, loss of time and funds and also impact on the future struggle for human rights by community members or HRDs. As such the actions of Tungkum Limited (TKL) (the mining company) must be condemned.
Furthermore, both Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai are at high risks of being attacked, injured or even killed, especially since after Black 15 May Incident, where violence and torture was used against people struggling for their human rights.
Article 1 of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, states clearly that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels." Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states clearly that freedom of expression includes the right to impart information. The UN Human Rights Committee, which monitors state compliance with the ICCPR, has expressed its concern at the misuse of defamation laws to criminalize freedom of expression and has said that such laws should never be used when expression is made without malice and in the public interest. It is wrong for corporations to use criminal and civil actions against HRDs as a method of trying to avoid the resolution legitimate human rights concerns and issues.
The progress made in affirming and claiming economic, social and cultural rights is primarily the result of concrete struggles fought by individual communities to defend their livelihoods in the face of abusive action by government authorities, powerful industries or corrupt elites.
Therefore, we
1 Demand that Tungkum Limited (TKL) (the Company) immediately withdraw all lawsuits against Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongcha.
2 Demand that Thai Army and the company engage in a serious and sincere dialogue with KRBK group, affected community and Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) to ensure adequate recognition and remediation of all violation of human rights and justice.
3 Call on to Thailand to take urgent steps to put in place effective measures to protect and promote community rights and ensure their livelihood been protected. National Parliament should enact laws, and even make Constitutional changes, to ensure the recognition and protection of economic, social and cultural rights. Whistleblowers, including Human Rights Defenders (HRDs), need to be accorded protection. There must be provision for reparation and compensation for victims of human rights violations.
4 Call on the Government to uphold the UN Declaration on the Right and responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms(known also as the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders), which was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 9 Dec 1998. In particular, we urge the Government to take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of these Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) from any violence, threats, retaliation, adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of their legitimate exercise of the rights and obligations as contained in this Declaration.
We call upon the diplomatic community to:
1. Provide, where appropriate and with previous consultation with community based defenders, visible recognition of their work, through the use of appropriate publicity or invitations.
2. Attend and observe, where appropriate, court trials of Mr. Surapan Rujichaiwat and Ms. Porntip Hongchai.
3. Communicate to the Foreign Affairs Ministry all information regarding cases of human rights violations of community based HRDs where companies and/or investors of your home country might be directly or indirectly involved.
4. Make more accessible emergency financial support available to community based HRDs by simplifying application and reporting requirements and increase possibilities for smaller sub-grants for communities defending human rights and freedoms.

Anything else needs to be researched and figured out (that D/D1 thing definitely needs a investigation).
From what I've gathered, these were distilled out of the tons of stages possible (the list here is complete from a consumer point of view). C means it's passed all the ordering hurdles. D1 means we know when it should be built. E means it's being built, KZ(something) mean's it's left the plant. Knowing what I know, I would probably add a "Hi, Welcome to VOTS email!" acknowledging we've got your email and "It's arrived at your dealer." email. Add in a dash of more up to date data (and wording changes) and the system should work for 99% of the population.
What you guys have experienced is more the exception than the rule. Other cars that have I look at are about as straight forward as one would expect. order, schedule, build, ship. The MY changeovers do cause some hiccups (exhibit A: orders not going through, exhibit B: trucks being called a different trim level).
With all that said, your words aren't going into a black hole. I do appreciate the feedback and it will help.
And dont for a minute think I (we) dont appreciate your "presence"..and all joking aside, you have enough public posts from a variety of people to have a cross section of the "exceptions"...and, bear in mind, "we" probably represent a reasonable cross section, even tho we post in here..(hah!)..If someone were to ask me for a signed detailed explanation of the "hiccups" i would be more than happy to comply...without any insults either....

Family's SUV stolen with beloved dog 'Scrubby' inside
DETROIT (WJBK) - WEB UPDATE (8:40 p.m.): 'Scrubby' has been found and reunited with his family. Ron Savage will have the full report at 10 p.m.
-Original story below-
Thieves steal an SUV on Detroit's west side. Inside was a beloved family pet, and now that animal is still missing.
Clarence Forris stores his dog's treats in a corner of the kitchen - he can barely look at Scrubby's bed. The 11-year-old Shih Tzu Maltese mix was stolen Sunday evening - along with Forris' Ford Escape.
"The house is not the same without him," Forris said.
"Scrubby is like a family member," said Debra Forris. "He's our son - he's our baby - we had him since he was a puppy and he's 11 years old."
A faithful old dog - he's spoiled and follows Clarence Forris around everywhere.
Sunday evening on a bitterly cold night, the two of them hopped in Clarence's silver Ford Escape to run to the Pick N Party store at Seven Mile and Shiawassee on Detroit's west side so Clarence could play the Lotto.
"He ran around the house and found his little toy he normally takes with him and he gets in the truck," Clarence said. "By the time we get to the store which is around the corner truck wasn't even warm and I didn't want him sitting in there shaking."
You guessed it - the Escape was still cold so Clarence left it running for Scrubby while he ran inside the party store he's been going to for 20 years.
"So I went in, played the lottery and the truck was gone," he said.
You can see it pull away in the surveillance video - and inside that Escape, Scrubby. He's brown and white with blue eyes. He wasn't wearing a collar or any identification tags.
His family is worried sick and offering a $300 reward for his safe return.
"I just want him back at all costs," Clarence said. "I'm just concerned about getting my partner back.
"Please whoever has Scrubby - please - please return him."
The Forris family does not care about the car - all they care about is Scrubby. If you've seen him - if you know where he is - please bring him back here to the store - they will return him to his owners.
The Pick N-Party Party store is at 23611 W Seven Mile Rd, Detroit, MI 48219. The phone number is (313) 534-0830

England heartache for Cleverley
Tom Cleverley has expressed his disappointment at seeing a potential England debut snatched away from him.
Last Updated: 09/08/11 12:17pm
Tom Cleverley has expressed his disappointment at seeing a potential England debut snatched away from him.
The Manchester United midfielder was drafted into Fabio Capello's senior set-up over the weekend after Arsenal's Jack Wilshere was forced to withdraw with an ankle knock.
Fresh from starring for the Red Devils in Sunday's Community Shield victory over Manchester City, Cleverley hoped he would be given the opportunity to make his Three Lions bow against Holland on Wednesday.
He has, however, been forced to put those aspirations to one side following the announcement that a midweek friendly date with the Dutch has been called off.
Police advice
The ongoing riots in London have forced the Football Association to heed police advice and cancel the game.
Cleverley has continued to train with the national side, but knows his involvement will go no further than that on this occasion.
The 21-year-old is frustrated to have seen such an opportunity pass him by but, should he continue to perform at the level he displayed at Wembley over the weekend, his chance will undoubtedly come.
Cleverley posted on his personal facebook page: "Gutted the game has been called off, can't begin to describe my feelings at the moment!"

Original paper
Traces of repeated tsunami landfall in the vicinity of Limnothalassa Moustou (Gulf of Argolis – Peloponnese, Greece)
Ntageretzis, Konstantin; Vött, Andreas; Fischer, Peter; Hadler, Hanna; Emde, Kurt; Röbke, Björn Roman; Willershäuser, Timo
Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, Supplementbände Volume 59 Supplementary Issue 4 (2015), p. 301 - 317

The Gulf of Argolis is located close to the Hellenic Volcanic Arc and the Hellenic Trench and thus faces a high risk to be affected by seismo-tectonically induced tsunami events. Historical accounts as well as modern tsunami catalogues document that the southern coasts of the Peloponnese were repeatedly affected by tsunamis. This is, however, the first study revealing geoscientific evidence on past extreme wave impact on the Gulf of Argolis. The low-lying near-coast limnic-lagoonal area around Limnothalassa Moustou, located in the central-western margin of the gulf, was investigated by means of sedimento- logical, geomorphological, geochemical and micropalaeontological methods in search of palaeotsunami fingerprints in the Holocene stratigraphical record. Our investigations have brought to light that the low-energy environments around Limnothalassa Moustou were affected by three tsunami impacts. The youngest event most possibly refers to the historically well-known tsunami from 1303 AD that hit wide parts of the eastern Mediterranean, especially the Peloponnese. Tsunami inundations were accompanied by complex backwash flow dynamics resulting in the deposition of coarse-grained coastal and fluvial material. The sedimentary environments hit by the youngest tsunami landfall soon recovered after tsunami impact which is documented by homogeneous fine-grained sediments in the uppermost parts of all vibracores. These sediments are typical of quiescent low-energy marsh environments that existed in wide parts of the investigated back-beach area at least during the last 500 or so years.

Hey there!
- Species:
- Fox
I'm Tailson, though most people call me Chris. It didn't use to be like that; before a few months ago I would never have let anyone call me Chris online, but things happen and somehow I got used to it so you can call me that if you want.
I mean, you don't have to. You can call me whatever you want, the world is your oyster, after all.
A little about me? I'm 26, I spend most of my time at work on weekdays, and like to spend my evenings here while I carry on working because that's just how it is.
I like games, they're pretty cool. I studied for ~5 years at college and university and came out of it with a Games Design degree, which is pretty cool too. I'm not really doing that right now, but I plan to eventually. I keep my skills sharp just in case I need them.
I've been staff here at FurryPile since its conception, starting out as a global moderator before going admin a few months in. I've really enjoyed my stay at the place through the good and bad times, and the people I've met here so far will always be very dear to me. I hope to meet new people all the time, mind, so feel free to drop me a line if you so wish!
I'm sort of losing track of this now? I just started typing and didn't have much of a plan for where I was going with it.
Oh! I should post the obligatory interaction rules here, too? I don't roleplay very often. I'll poke and dance, and do whatever other inane stuff in chatboxes and passing conversation, but for anything more indepth you need to catch me in a particular mood.
I mean, tabletop roleplay I'm totally up for every day.
Okay, anything else? No? Okay. Send me a message, add me as a friend, idolise me in marble for those artisans in the audience.
Have fun on FurryPile, ladies and gentlemen!

Melrose Poetry Bureau & Bootleg Theater present
Quick Draw Poetry Cabaret
Fri. January 8, 2016
Doors: 7:00 pm / Show: 7:30 pm (event ends at 9:00 pm)
Bootleg Theater
Los Angeles, CA
$15.00 - $30.00
Quickdraw Poetry Cabaret is a velvet bon bon and a smoking gun, an extravaganza that blends poetry, burlesque, song, and dueling typewriters. Created in the moment with the audience every night, Quickdraw pits performers against each other in a series of increasingly herculean tasks of writing and performance based on suggestions from the audience and structured like Wild West shootouts. Plus, there's a burlesque dancer stalking the poets and a band playing only typewriters. A typewriter band!
Every performance challenges the way we think about making – the artistic process as a moment and a legacy – by turning the act of creation into a cabaret, a bacchanalia. The risqué, social critique, and satire live side-by-side here.
This is a speakeasy for the thirsty souls of a world made from concrete and snapchat, where prohibition is real and poetry is outlawed. Come burn down the night with us.https://www.bootlegtheater.org/event/1028387/
MPB is the brainchild of poet/writers Nayeli Knudsen and Bobby Gordon. In 2014, Brian Sonia-Wallace, an LA native and writer extraordinaire, joined the team as a managing partner to make up what is now the core of MPB.
MPB was developed with the intention of bringing poets and the public back together. Inspired by participating in typewriter installations at UCLA, and the previous work of their mentors such as Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Paul Flores, and James Kass of Youth Speaks Inc ., MPB provides entertainment and facilitates a critical dialogue with their surrounding community as well.
Our signature installation project unmasks the creative process; poets craft new original works on the spot for the public in attendance. Poets meet and talk with people that approach their typewriter and use those conversations as the inspiration for new poems that are ultimately gifted to and performed for the audience member.
Partnerships have included UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, Google, LA Library Foundation, LA2050, Highways, Freight and Salvage, and the L.A. Philharmonic, with longer residencies at UCLA, LA's Natural History Museum, Chandler Center for the Arts (AZ), and Write Club LA at the Bootleg Theatre. We are thrilled to be coming home!

Lynda (If Only She Had Applied Herself) makes me laugh so often and so loud via her Facebook page, it's easy for me to forget how much can be concealed by humor.
That all's my fancy way of saying, "I made the mistake of first reading this post while walking to the grocery store, without a single tissue on hand." I'd recommend you have a tissue or two on hand as you read, but that you also be prepared to laugh.
My favorite reads are those that call forth tears and laughter alike. It's these that live longest in my heart. And, indeed, as long as my heart beats, this post will resound within it.
Recommended post: I hope you dance…and other cliches for my daughter
Mama and that Old Brown Dog
My mom hated dogs, and she was quick to give her reasons. They're loud. They stink. They're a waste of hard-earned money that should be spent on more important things like food and HBO. I never had a pet as a child, but I guess you don't miss what you never had because it wasn't a bone of contention with me. I didn't ache for a puppy only to be denied by my frugal parents. No, I longed for Barbie dolls. They were much easier to care for anyway, and my Malibu Ken never once left a smelly surprise by the back door.
When 2005 rolled around, we decided to buy a larger home and move my elderly mother in with us. I worried about her being alone and defenseless in her small apartment. She was beginning to have a tough time with even the simple chores of bringing her grocery bags in from her car or toting around a laundry basket. It would be a mutually beneficial arrangement because in exchange for a safe, rent-free home for my mom live in, my 8-month-old daughter and 5-year-old son would get full access to their grandmother, and I would have someone in the kitchen who knew her ladle from a hole in the ground. Win-Win!
What my mother didn't know was that I was secretly plotting to get a dog for my kids once we moved into the new home. We had a nice backyard with a tall privacy fence. Fido would have room to run and sunbathe and all would be right with the world. I scoured shelter websites looking for the perfect dog to rescue, but it was a daunting task. With so many homeless pups to choose from, we decided to take the family to a farm where the dogs were housed, meet the shelter director and let the dog pick us instead.
It was overwhelming…and loud…and it smelled foul. Dogs barked excitedly and came at us from every direction. Each one met our arrival with a look in their eyes that screamed, "Please pick me," and I wasn't prepared for the feeling of sadness in knowing that only one would be going home with us that day. Tiny dogs and big dogs alike clamored for our attention…all except for one. He was an older, non-descript, brown dog that stood off to the side making a noise that was not quite a howl and not quite a bark. It was more a like a scolding for the other dogs that seemed to say, "Settle down, you fools! Don't you know we have company?"
I liked that brown dog. He wasn't jumpy or desperate. When I asked the director about his story, she said he didn't really have one. A Good Samaritan found him by the side of a road and rescued him – no drama, just a plain, brown dog. That was good enough for me, and from a pool of nearly fifty dogs, we decided that laid-back Benji would be coming home with us.
"You mean you're KEEPING that, that…DOG?"
My mom was less than thrilled with our new four-legged housemate. She scolded him for barking and for daring to laze around on a sofa that was deemed a "No Dog Zone." She proclaimed her utter disdain for having a mutt inside the house to anyone who would listen to her. She protested even further as we added two more dogs along the way, but although she would never admit it, I could see a soft spot growing for Benji. Being an older dog, he wasn't interested in the wrestling matches and stair races that kept our other pets busy. There were many evenings when the chaos of our house filled with five people and three dogs became too much for my mom and Benji, and I would find them hiding out in her room watching Law and Order reruns, my mom in her recliner and Benji at her feet. They had a lot in common, those two.
In early June of 2008, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and died two and a half months later. For weeks after her death, I would find Benji in her room alone, once again escaping the noise and drama of the day. He seemed to miss his crime-show-watching partner, pacing around the room while sniffing every square inch. His quiet place would never be the same.
Benji became the grandfather dog of the house in the years after my mom died. His face turned gray and his walk up the stairs became slower, shakier. He no longer raced to lap up crumbs from around the dinner table, preferring to sit in the background while the younger dogs fought over scraps. He would bark to go outside only to turn around and immediately bark to go back inside. (We decided that elderly dogs must suffer from dementia like elderly humans.) His hearing was nearly gone and his eyesight wasn't too far behind.
After a weekend out of town, we came home last month to find that Benji's health had taken a catastrophic turn for the worse while we were away. He could barely walk and every breath was a struggle. The vet counseled us as he gently broke the news that he couldn't fix that Brown Dog our family loved so much. As we huddled around Benji in the exam room, we stroked his coarse coat and told him how much we would miss him…and then he was gone.
I always joked that Benji took my mom's place as the senior citizen of the house. It just feels wrong for them both to be gone now. The loss of my mother brought heart-wrenching pain, but I'm glad that my children had so much time with her before she left us. If there is any silver lining to such a horrible black cloud of enduring the sickness and death of a loved one, it's that I know my children learned an important lesson: We MUST take care of each other. Loving and caring for someone (human or critter) even when it's hard, even when you want to scream and run away, even when you can't make it better is a legacy that I have left to my children. They know that we are in this for the long run. I will love them and take care of them to the moon and back. I am certain that when my day comes, they will also do the same for me.
It's the circle of life, and for this I am thankful.

Fat Kid Rules the World (and my heart, too)
My movie-induced narcolepsy has frustrated my movie fanatic fiancée, Ba.D., for years.
I seldom actively try to fall asleep. It's just that movies were for so long my bedtime lullaby, it's hard for me to appreciate them as anything more.
Once in a while I find a movie it's impossible for me to sleep through. More rarely, I find a movie that not only holds my wakeful attention for two hours but invigorates me even after its credits have wrapped.
Fat Kid Rules the World is such a movie. The script didn't so much whisper as sing through its actors.
"Troy Billings is seventeen, overweight, and suicidal. Just as he's about to jump in front of a bus, he's saved by Marcus, a charming high school dropout/street musician. The two begin an uneasy friendship when Marcus enlists the musically challenged Troy to become the drummer in a new punk rock band. As Troy's relationship with Marcus grows, Troy's father becomes increasingly concerned about his son's new friendship." — Official synopsis
"Fat Kid" Troy (Jacob Wysocki) immediately won both my heart and my full attention. I would have stayed awake for two hours simply to watch him go through the motions of his life. And yet, each of the actors in this amazing cast held their weight not only collectively but alone. Through their words and silences alike, these actors created living characters who didn't so much feel real as really exist. At the movie's close, I knew and loved each of them.
It would be impossible for me to pinpoint any one thing that sold me on Fat Kid Rules the World. There were so many that shone: its relationships, its lighting, its locations, its humor, its tenderness. Its magic was not in any one piece but in many beautiful pieces moving together in perfect synchronicity; indeed, when asked what he loved most about the movie, Ba.D. waxed effusive until I cut him off at fourteen minutes. (I know it was fourteen minutes because I recorded him in the hopes I could post his response here.)
Like me, he found it impossible to choose any one part of the film more perfect than another. Still, I gave him a second chance, asking him to describe his favorite thing about the movie "in one to two minutes." After four minutes, I told him to wrap it up. After five minutes, I stopped the recording and asked if we should try one more time. He said we should.
That recording ran three minutes but felt insubstantial compared to the others. For indeed, how can you possibly say only, "This is cinematic perfection" when the rush of that cinematic perfection is still coursing through your veins?
Shockingly, the film has had a hard time finding its distribution groove. In a discussion following the screening, Ba.D. and I learned about the trouble with selling "a movie about a fat kid."
Ba.D. had a lot to say about that as we drove home, shaking a verbal fist at Hollywood for trying to stick to movies easily boiled down to two- and three-word catchphrases. The movie, he said, would have virtually distributed itself in the era that brought us movies like Heathers, Pump up the Volume and The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club analogy resonated with me.
At its most basic level, Fat Kid Rules the World is about a fat kid. The Breakfast Club is about a group of kids stuck in detention.
But is detention what you think of when The Breakfast Club's "Don't You Forget About Me" comes on the radio? Or do you grin as you sing along and remember the unlikely kinship that grew between its dissimilar protagonists?
Fat Kid Rules the World isn't just about a fat kid. It's about grief, friendship, anger, transformation, punk rock, and the unlikely kinship that builds between people who only seem unalike at the most superficial of levels.
There aren't many showings of this movie scheduled yet. Check here to see if one is in or near your town. If one isn't in your town, please request it by following the request link at the bottom of that page. It's a little work, to be sure, but great things are worth the work, and Fat Kid Rules the World isn't just great. It's incredible.
Next time I see director Matthew Lillard's name, you won't hear me saying, as I did a few days ago, "Oh, hey, it's one of those kids from Scream!"
Nope. Next time, I'm more likely to say, "Yeah! That's the guy whose vision made Fat Kid Rules the World come to life on the screen!"
I'm not a movie reviewer. I'm barely a movie watcher. It's hard for me to find the right parting words to show how much this film rocked me. Instead of the right words, then, I leave you with the ones I uttered after I stopped cheering when the movie ended:
I love this movie so much, I just want to kiss it. I don't even know how I'd do that, but I want to make out with the entire movie. So much.
(For the record, I still do.)
FTIAT: Living Systems
Andrew (Lucid Dreams & Saturn Skies) intrigues me with the merger of meditation and the macabre on his blog. It's a unique merger that keeps me coming back for more.
He shares my love of horror, and has even helped feed my own with his horror stories. I enjoy reading his blog features about terrifying things–more so when they're fictional than when they're true!–but am equally fond of his reflective posts.
Recommended post: As the Life of A Flower
Living Systems
Initially, when Deb approached me about FTIAT, I drew a blank. It isn't that I don't have gratitude for all the wonderful people and things in my life – I do. It was that I couldn't quite find a way to express what I wanted to express. That coupled with the craziness surrounding the last semesters of my undergrad career led me to put the project in my digital dustbin. However, a recent conversation with a close friend and another invitation from Deb conspired to swat me upside the head with inspiration.
Hang on to your hats folks. Things are about to get science-y!
You see, I am a biology major (and a business major, in the interest of full disclosure). Naturally, I find the science fascinating. So does one of my closest friends, who is enrolled in her first college biology class at the moment. It's kind of funny how minds can meld during a close friendship, even if said brains are separated by thousands of miles. (My friend lives in Alaska.) You see, as I recall it, she and I were basically struck by the same pseudo-epiphany almost the same day, and it was that conversation that led to this post.
The more I study biology, the more I am amazed that any living system works at all. We are used to thinking of our body as a single whole, but that could not be further from the truth. In reality, each and every one of us are a super colony of trillions upon trillions of interconnected and symbiotic cells and bacteria.
All of the intricate structures that make up our bodies are either made of cells or are secreted by said cells. Said cells are regulated by the genetic code: DNA. The acronym DNA is tossed around quite a bit, thanks to shows like CSI and NCIS, but as with many of the other acronyms we use on a daily basis, many use it without knowing what it's short for. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and it acts as the molecule that confers inheritance. In a basic biological sense, if not a psycho-spiritual one, DNA makes you you.
Crazy, right? You know what's crazier? At the end of the day, DNA is just a bunch of stringy white goop. Seriously. One day in lab I was twirling a bunch of fruit DNA we'd isolated on the end of a glass stir rod, amazed that this pulpy looking gunk was quite literally the stuff of life.
That white stringy gunk is responsible for everything. It contains within it the recipe of life. Somehow it can direct all the varied cells to find their proper place in the body. Not only that, it contains within it code for the mechanisms that allow said cells to communicate with one another, to divide, and even to kill themselves.
What is more, DNA is the code for all known life. From bacteria to elephants to people, all organisms use the same molecule both to replicate themselves and to provide the recipe for their living bodies. It's all wonderfully complex and, especially for those trying to unravel life's mysteries, often very confusing.
So you might be wondering at this point what I am thankful for. Life itself. Not only is how it works amazing, but it's amazing that it works in the first place!

The sweet memory of magic
In 2004, I wrote a YA trilogy over the course of six weeks. The trilogy retold a story I'd begun as a vampire-obsessed high school freshman.
I ignored the trilogy for a long time and for many reasons. I'm not a writer, I told myself. I just wrote some stuff because I was bored and broke in the middle of nowhere.
When my mom died in 2010, I remembered all the times she'd encouraged me to write professionally and hated myself for waving her off every single time. I started editing the first book in my trilogy not because I suddenly saw myself as a writer, but because it was important to me to do this one thing in my mom's memory.
I edited the book as I edit my contracts, parsing the story down to its barest essence instead of letting it breathe as fully as it needed to. 78,000 words became 52,000 words, and those 52,000 words were released as The Monster's Daughter.
Over the last eighteen months, I've tried dozens of strategies to force myself to edit its sequel. I'd written a trilogy, by damn, and I needed to publish a trilogy.
I told myself it was OK to pause editing the second book if I wrote a new, unrelated book. I wrote the new book and still balked at returning to the second book of my trilogy.
I released a non-fiction ebook while beginning work on another non-fiction project. A few weeks ago, I set aside the non-fiction book in progress to work on a new fiction project. Anything to avoid returning to my trilogy!
The deeper I delve into my new project, the harder it becomes to imagine returning to my trilogy. It's not that I don't love the trilogy or its protagonist, Ginny, who made otherwise excruciating loneliness tolerable. I do love the trilogy, and I love Ginny, most especially when I am lonely or aching.
I love the trilogy the way I love Edward Scissorhands, The Bridge to Terabithia or The Escape Club's "I'll Be There." Once, these things were my everything. They occupied my mind, my heart and even my aspirations, both for what they were and for the layers of meaning I added to them. When things are deeply beloved, it's hard to look at the past they belong to head-on and embrace that it's the past. The moment is gone, the moment's magic transformed to the sweet memory of magic.
As I wrote to my friend El, to whom I first confessed I was thinking of letting The Monsters's Daughter stand alone:
I think I was afraid of letting [Ginny] go, but it's impossible to let her go; she lives in me, now and forever.
Watching the words pour out of me for this new project just makes it so clear that I need to follow whatever voice is singing to me right now . . . not try to catch a tune playing miles away, now.
Ginny and The Monster's Daughter were once my everything. Today I set them free, with a sigh and a butterfly kiss, as I turn my ears toward the music that plays for me now.
Hope, unbound
Thanks to What I Had Really Meant to Say for this opportunity to visit with hope today as part of the Hope 2012 blog relay.
The summer my mom snapped, I didn't understand "hope."
What I understood that summer was that I might never talk to my mom again. That the resources available to assist the mentally ill and their loved ones were woefully inadequate. That a woman could struggle through hardship after hardship only to find new hardships where at least one iota of peace ought have been.
I pieced hope together slowly over the years that followed. Shopping for hardware with my boyfriend one Mother's Day, I found a colorful card that reminded me of my mom. I wrote on it that she'd always been a little colorful, but that her colors made the world brighter and richer. I delivered the card to her house only to have her scream and wave a shovel at me.
My boyfriend held one of my hands in both of his own as I cried in the front seat of his car. But I, like my siblings, kept at it. I believed something might happen to change the game tomorrow, or the day after it.
I passed by my mom on a run a couple of years later. Instead of screaming at me, she told me about all the neighborhood squirrels she was caring for. I slowed my run so I could accompany her all the way to the town's bus station. I didn't know if I'd ever have another moment like that, so I wanted to prolong and savor it.
Hope came a little easier after that.
Conversations were a little stilted when they happened, and my mom still occasionally accused her neighbors–and her children–of bizarre crimes, but conversations did happen. It seemed, after years of struggling, we might be getting somewhere.
Then, in the middle of 2009, my sister Rache called to tell me Mom's doctor was concerned our mom might have "the C word." My sister couldn't even say it the first couple of times we spoke about Mom's early appointments, so that I misunderstood what "C word" we were talking about. It hit me like a train to the stomach when Rache finally said the word: "cancer."
That evening, I wrote my dearest friend:
I feel like I lost my mom several years ago, so I didn't think it was possible to feel greater sorrow on that front. But hearing that physical death may also be imminent, it's clear there are degrees of loss. Intellectually, I understand that there's very little hope my mom as she existed while I grew up could be regained. Apparently, though, my heart has been holding onto hope that there might be some movement that direction. With physical death, what once was and what is now are all wrapped up neatly and concluded, with no chance of semi-happy endings.
When my mom's diagnosis was confirmed, I was devastated. For years, I had hoped, and that hope had been destroyed by a single word spoken in a single second.
I thought and thought, and I fought with myself over what was and wasn't reasonable in light of my mom's diagnosis.
I'd trained myself to hope. I couldn't not hope. So what, then, could I hope for?
I hoped that my mom would live long enough to meet her first grandchild, with whom I was seven months pregnant. It was a hope replete with moments of agony and frustration that I should be limited to such a small and fleeting hope, but I clung to it. I needed it to sustain me.
My son was born. Tickets home were purchased. My mom held her grandson.
She hated how she looked, but I saw only the love.
After my mom met my son, I invested my hope in the possibility of my mom's recovery. And yet, there came a time where it was clear that hope would not be translated to truth.
I hoped my mom would get to see my son again, but I was struggling. It was easier to tell myself to hope than to actually tend to its tiny embers and set them full aflame again.
My mom did see my son again. He brought her great joy through suffering written so clearly on her face that I couldn't help but feel its echoes, and despair.
He brought her so much joy that, occasionally, she'd grit her teeth and try climbing unsteadily from her bed, saying, "I will survive. I will live and see him grow up. I will meet my other grandkids."
I would smile at her and try to calm her enough to get her back in bed, and then retreat to the cold bedroom down the hall and cry, and cry, and cry.
I didn't know what to hope, but I knew better than to share that fleeting, wild hope of hers.
A week after the last time she told me this, I wrote my friends a letter that began:
At 2:35pm yesterday, my mother breathed her last breath in the loving arms of my sisters.
The letter described many things that brought me joy, and great love for those who'd helped me through the last months of my mom's life. What it didn't describe was hope, for I felt hopeless, even as I wrapped up that letter thusly:
Next October 30, I will celebrate alone the birthday I shared with my mother. But she'll be in my heart, and the gifts she bestowed upon me will carry her spirit forward in my every action, every day.
At my mom's memorial, I caught sight of my son sleeping and felt the slightest stirrings of hope.
My mom's final chapter had been written, but my tiny man's life had so many chapters remaining. Imagining those chapters filled me with joy that couldn't be touched by words, and kindled those stirrings so they began to take on their own vibrance.
As I worked with my siblings to clean out my mom's house, I thought about all the chapters remaining my son. I saw that I, too, had many chapters left in my own life.
I chose hope. Even as I bawled, and cursed, and listened to music I hated to know my mom would never hear again, I chose to believe that there was good ahead.
I would edit one of my books. I would nurture my son's passions. I would lend a hand to others as often as I could. I would focus not on what had been taken away from me, and the inevitability that still more would be taken away from me with time, but on all the possibilities left open to me, my son, and my loved ones. They were so, so many.
In August 2009, I believed hope was lost. In August 2012, I see that hope was simply hiding then. She was clenched tightly to herself, nestled deep within me, keeping herself safe until once again free to expand to fill me.
Hope has since unfurled and stretched herself into every piece of my life. Sometimes she retreats, but I know she will find her way back to me, and I to her. She needs me to give her my voice in this world; I need her to remember why I have a voice, and how to use it.
Hope was never lost to me. She just needed to be freed from the constraint of being tied to one place, to one situation, or to one person; for, indeed, she thrives best of all when her feet are untethered and she is allowed to wander as free and far as the human imagination extends.

When characters run amok
I'm 12,000 words into a new writing project.
I know, I know. I'm supposed to be working on that autobiographical collection of essays.
I'll just come clean and say it straight: That project was boring the heck out of me. I thought I'd start another project as a joke, but the joke's on me, because that project's got me wrapped around its little finger. (Just don't ask me to pinpoint that "little finger" on a diagram, because I can't!)
One thing about this project that's bugging me is how much its characters talk.
I think, "OK, these guys have got to communicate X." But when they get to talking, they don't just talk about X. They talk about X, X's little brother Pedro, Pedro's crush on Georgia, and Georgia's hometown in southeastern New Mexico, as well as the fauna particular to the area.
Like WALL-E's EVE and adorable little cleaning machine, I'm pretty objective-driven in real life. It's not uncommon for me to obtain the information I need ten seconds into a conversation with someone and then actually ask questions like, "Wait, why are we still talking?" twenty seconds after that. (I'm getting better about this.)
The fact my project's characters can't stop talking is maddening. And yet, in an approach I should probably better emulate in real life, I let them talk. This is where I find out who they are. I can cut their conversations all I want later, but right now, they are telling me about themselves. It's important. It's good.
Yes, it's slow, but it's good. And I'm just going to sit here reminding myself of that. "It's good. It's all good. No, really, it's good."
(But, seriously, characters, why do you have to talk so much?!)

This area does not include materials for energy applications, photonic, magnetic, superconducting, polymeric or composite materials or materials processing, as these are all covered in related research areas.
Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics are a family of compounds that display a unique set of properties, including extremely high melting temperatures (>3000°C), high hardness and good chemical stability and strength at high temperatures. Structural materials for use in high-temperature oxidizing environments are presently limited mostly to SiC, Si3N4, oxide ceramics and composites of these materials. The maximum use temperatures of silicon-based ceramics is limited to ~1600°C due to the onset of active oxidation (lower temperatures in water vapour environments), whilst oxides have exhibited high creep rates at higher temperatures. The development of structural materials for use in oxidizing and rapid heating environments at temperatures above 1600°C is therefore of great engineering importance.

I Don't Add Minors to My List of Friends
Personal Stories, Advice, and Support 230 People
Nothing Against Them....Its nothing against them, its just, I don't feel safe with having minors in my circle. I don't think that I can be anything good for them. I mean look how ****** up I am, I don't want to be the reason why they are as well. I just don't believe that it would do either of us...
I avoid minors most of the timebut there's one girl from Australia that is so jolly we exchange a bit of banter each day about breakfast time and is genuinely there for a bit of harmless chat!
This group is a bit prejudiceand rude. Didn't know once you become an official adult according to the law you avoid everyone younger than you..

If I find out that you are underagednot only will I remove you from my circle, but I will also block you. No hard feelings just being cautious.
PetiteChica 22-25, F 0 Jan 20, 2015
If you are a minor I don't have anythingfor you. If I add you and find out your a minor I will block you and then report you.

I don't add minors or people in their 20'sunfortunately.... I have tried but I found their naiveness and just general immaturity gets on my nerves badly.
Coffeetyme 41-45, F 1 Response 4 Nov 26, 2014
Pease be 18+ before adding me to your circle.Much of the content I post is for adults only. If I find out that you have misrepresented your age, I will remove you from my circle. It's nothing personal, so feel free to friend me up on your 18th birthday!
ShesAVeryKinkyGirl 26-30, F 2 Responses 1 Apr 14, 2014
With all do respect, I am not going to contactnor friend any minors. While I have spaced and fleetingly friended minors and at least once commented on a minor's page, this was purely accidental and quickly righted by my removal of them from my friend list. I feel ashamed of not being more careful in looking at members' ages...
Wolffia 22-25, M 1 May 30, 2014
I Dont......add underage people. I dont want them in my circle.
It's kinda depressingthat you guys dislike us minors. We're not all as bad as media makes us out to be nor does how a few minors on here act generalize our whole age group.. I'd you're not gonna add us, make sure there's a good reason.
akaShaun 18-21, M 1 Response 7 Nov 26, 2014
I Don't Think So.....No, Not a good idea,Never,It won't ever happen...Unless they lie which I can't help...Am comfortable with the age group of friends I have here...To be honest I only have 1 friend that is between 26 - 30 range...So it shall stay that way..Anyway if I wanted minors why here on EP...
lexuslourve 41-45, F 1 Feb 23, 2012
I'm sorry to those minorswho are under 18 and ask to be added to my friends list Its not happening no offense!!!
SecretDesiress 41-45, F 1 Response 3 Oct 21, 2014
If you are under 18, don'teven think about it. Even some 18 yr olds are questionable. However, anyone can put an age so when it says 18+ we could all be talking to a 13 yr old.
I think it should be adults only... so 18 or over only. thank you
all my experiences are in regard to sex,I only deal with adults
didnthappen 51-55, M 3 Nov 15, 2015
Never have or ever will I don't think EP shouldhave any Minors on here there is to much adult content

I'm looking a way to deploy the maven site using scp protocol.
I found some issues:
- when I create a Jenkins node the maven process stucks during site:deploy goal because it prompts to me if I want add the destination host key to know_hosts file.
- also with correct credential in settings.xml it prompts to me for Kerberos username [$USER] and password.
After a lot of google search the SSH options command to setup should be:
- StrictHostKeyChecking [ask, no, yes]
- PreferredAuthentications a mix of [gssapi-with-mic, publickey, password, keyboard-interactive]
Configure those option into them into .ssh/config file it's hard to manage in many in case of many machine
Actually there is not way to change those settings in the wagon instance
For StrictHostKeyChecking could be used the settings.xml
<servers> <server> <id>docserver</id> <username>xxx</username> <password>password</password> <configuration> <knownHostsProvider> <hostKeyChecking>no</hostKeyChecking> </knownHostsProvider> </configuration> </server> </servers>
but it fails because KnownHostsProvider it's an interface and if I specify the implementation of knownHostsProvider
<knownHostsProvider implementation="org.apache.maven.wagon.providers.ssh.knownhost.FileKnownHostsProvider">
fails because ClassNotFound on IOUtil in super constructor method.
Instead for PreferredAuthentications it's an plain string into the code so no way to change it.

WAGON-467 Allow customisation of some SSH options
This commit add StrictHostKeyChecking and PreferredAuthentications custom fields that together allow you to perform, the command scp enough to remove any user interaction (username, password and add host key to know_hosts file).
Hi Nikolas, with your patch, are you able to customize wagon ssh using maven's settings.xml?
Yes. Follow an example of my settings.xml that upload the maven site of our multi module project
<servers> <server> <id>docserver</id> <username>user</username> <password>password</password> <configuration> <strictHostKeyChecking>no</strictHostKeyChecking> <preferredAuthentications>publickey,password</preferredAuthentications> <interactive>false</interactive> </configuration> </server> </servers>
The interactive element is not needed, anyway I set it to false (default is true).
With above settings it doesn't prompt in case of new host keys to add and for kerberos username and password.
Correct values for preferredAuthentications I've got here
SUCCESS: Integrated in Jenkins build maven-wagon #1316 (See https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-wagon/1316/)

I had play with the repository you post.
The reason because your wagon-mave-plugin does not works is because when you instantiate the wagon instance you do not consider the configuration element as the site-plugin does in AbstractDeployMojo#configureWagon by the XmlPlexusConfiguration
Github user nfalco79 commented on the issue:
Debugging a log the issue seems to be which implementation of WagonManger plexus inject. If I run with maven 3.3.9 it injects a [DefaultWagonManager](http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.maven/maven-compat/3.3.3/org/apache/maven/repository/legacy/DefaultWagonManager.java#DefaultWagonManager.getWagon%28org.apache.maven.wagon.repository.Repository%29) where the getWagon is deprecated and lacks of configureWagon call that do the trick above. If I run it with maven 2.2.1 it has a working implementation of [DefaultWagonManager](http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.apache.maven/maven-artifact-manager/2.2.1/org/apache/maven/artifact/manager/DefaultWagonManager.java#DefaultWagonManager.getWagon%28org.apache.maven.wagon.repository.Repository%29) but mvn command breaks with the following message:

Component descriptor role: 'com.jcraft.jsch.UIKeyboardInteractive', implementation: 'org.apache.maven.wagon.providers.ssh.jsch.interactive.PrompterUIKeyboardInteractive', role hint: 'default' has a hint, but there are other implementations that don't
This explains the reason of extra work in the maven-site-plugin around configureWagon method to distinguish of maven 2/3
I hope these information will help you to make a workaround for your wagon-maven-plugin
Github user dantran commented on the issue:
your patch fixes the site plugin ssh issue. I will need to implement similar wagon handling developed at maven-site-plugin https://github.com/mojohaus/wagon-maven-plugin/issues/6
thanks for trouble shooting this
