TW Lists
I frequently find myself noting the content of rape or attempted rape in books that I am reviewing whose blurbs gave no hint as to having that content. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a book having a plot point of rape or attempted rape, but some readers seek to avoid them for personal reasons. Some readers just don't like reading about rape or attempted rape, while others find reading about rape or attempted rape to be triggering for a mental illness they may have, such as PTSD or OCD. It is for the latter reason that a content note like the one I am providing is often called a "trigger warning," often shortened to an acronym of "tw" followed by the content note. For instance, "tw: rape."
The content I by far find myself needing to note in my reviews more than any other is rape or attempted rape. I thus decided to curate this list of books I have reviewed on my blog that contain rape or attempted rape. A book being included on this list does not necessarily mean I consider it a bad book or a badly written book. It is purely a content note. For further details about the book, including rating and details about the rape/attempted rape content, please click out to the full review of the book.

Unpacking Jason Lewis' Win in MN CD2
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, in the midst of a dizzying array of Republican wins and holds at all levels, the Associated Press called Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District for Jason Lewis. With that call, a year and a half long saga came to its final triumphant conclusion for Minnesota Republicans in the south metro of the Twin Cities. The man who made his name as America's Mr. Right is headed to Washington to represent the people of suburban Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The Long Road and Winding Road
In late August of 2015 I was back in St. Paul for my day off from my position at the time in Iowa, organizing for the Iowa caucuses. While having lunch with a friend who rotates in MNGOP circles, they asked about my thoughts on the newly open CD2 seat since Congressman John Kline had announced his intention not to run for re-election in 2016.
"There's no way that Jason Lewis doesn't win the nomination, at the convention and the primary as well."
The reaction was something between an eye roll and a look of shock (pretty impressive, really). They then produced a rundown that would become canon within MN Republican staff circles over the coming year and a half- namely that he couldn't overcome "controversial" statements made during his time as a nationally syndicated radio host. I countered with my basic thesis that held up during the cycle-
A. There really wasn't much to try and seize on, and of the 3 or so statements that opponents tried to make into campaign issues, all were taken wildly out of context.
B. They were all useless in the coming Republican convention and primary elections because his statements were within the context of criticizing liberal firebrands like failed Congressional candidate Sandra Fluke. To truly go after Lewis on his statements on Fluke, Republican opponents would be staking out attacks from liberal ground. Clearly a losing strategy to win a GOP primary.
In addition, Lewis entered both the primary and the general with a decisive, natural name ID advantage that proved impossible for his successive foes to ever overcome. Lewis' time as a conservative radio host, despite all his opponents attempts to turn it against him, was an overwhelming positive.
Lewis Romps
Minnesota has a funny system to national eyes. Parties hold a convention of delegates to bestow an internal Party "endorsement" before entering an open primary, which is what actually determines ballot access. Then you jump into the general.
Lewis won all 3 phases. He defeated his main competitor for the Republican convention (Gerson), for the Republican primary (Darlene Miller), and for the general election (Democrat Angie Craig).
Each step of the way, he and his campaign took far more slings and arrows than they deserved given his inherent advantages as a communicator and a candidate. The fundamental strengths of Lewis' candidacy were constants that endured the entire cycle- the average voter had some knowledge of him as a media figure, he is popular among those who are politically right of center, and he is a fantastic communicator.
One interesting take on the CD2 race came from Sam Brodey over at Minnpost- namely that National Democrats made a #yuuuuge mistake in working overtime to tie Lewis to Trump. Trump wound up winning CD2, an eventuality that the DCCC clearly didn't weigh out, so Democrats' core attack on Lewis (particularly through torrents of direct mail) was more of a help than a hindrance.
One more (extremely local) angle is that Lewis' win will likely help revitalize the CD2 Republican Party. In the past few years, the local Party had come to be defined by infighting between opponents, and loyalists, to incumbent Rep. John Kline. Lewis' election offers the opportunity to move past the Republican-on-Republican violence within the local Republican parties that has raged the past few cycles. If you're a conservative activist who isn't happy with Jason Lewis as your Congressman, you ain't never gonna be happy.
Who Wins From This
Jason Lewis
Well duh.
Tom Emmer
Congressman Tom Emmer backed Jason Lewis from his May convention win on. Always an adroit political observer, and stalwart booster of fellow Republican candidates, Rep. Emmer did a tremendous amount in Minnesota and on the national stage to make people realize that Lewis was a strong candidate.
The National Republican Congressional Committee
A lot of Minnesota state-side operatives believed that the NRCC wouldn't invest in the CD2 race- but they did, and in a big way. They made a large investment (approx $2 million in airtime) in the CD2 race and it paid off with a Republican hold in the district this year.
Ashlee Rich-Stephenson & Just Win Strategies
One of the unsung advantages that Lewis had this cycle was a hard working, smart, and nationally well liked General Consultant in Ashlee Rich-Stephenson. From the earliest days of the campaign, Lewis' campaign connections with her helped to boost national credibility and counteract the Democratic pushed attacks through earned media. Just Win Strategies truly lived up to its name with the CD2 race.
Jack Dwyer
Another criminally underrated part of Lewis' success was Campaign Manager Jack Dwyer. Outspent, and outgunned on the ground in terms of resources, Jack led an insurgent style in-district campaign that did more with less to great effect. He wore a lot of hats for the campaign and executed multiple job titles very well.
Jason Lewis heads to Washington D.C. on Sunday to join 237 other Republican House members and to start setting up to serve the people of Minnesota's 2nd. He'll be a great addition to the U.S. House.

Knights coach pleased with team's form
Chris Houston celebrated his return to rugby league by scoring a try in Knight's 22-all draw against the Warriors in a weekend trial match in New Zealand.
The Warriors had the upper hand in the first half, but Newcastle scored two late tries, the second right on full time, to level the scores.
The match at Greymouth was in honour of 29 miners killed in the Pike River explosion last November.
Houston was controversially re-signed by the Knights after beating drug supply charges and Coach Rick Stone says he's impressed by his return to form.
"Chris Houston played well there's no doubt about that and we always knew he would," he said.
"He's got a bit if football to play before he's back at his best but it's great to give him the opportunity this early so he can guard his progression to getting back to something near his best form.
"He might play again this week against Fiji or he might have a rest just depends on how he pulls up, so i'll make that decision probably a little bit later in the week."
Stone says he was also impressed by the performance of some new recruits from the lower grades.
"Yeah I thought Joel Edwards was really good for us, he's played four NRL games now and definitely looks like he's on the verge of playing a few more this year, he said."
"Pete Mata'utai I thought was pretty good for us also Zane Tetevano and the young backrower who played out of our NYC team the same as Mata'utai I thought also played pretty well."

writeLockTimeout is set in SolrIndexWriter.init() method as follows:
if (config.writeLockTimeout != -1) setWriteLockTimeout(config.writeLockTimeout);
but this doesn't have effect because setWriteLockTimeout() is an instance method of IndexWriter and at this moment,
IndexWriter's constructor had already been executed and write.lock had beed obtained in the constructor.
To have effect, we should use IndexWriter.setDefaultWriteLockTimeout() class method before creating SolrIndexWriter instance.
With the attached patch, I moved setWriteLockTimeout() to SolrCore and change it to IndexWriter.setDefaultWriteLockTimeout().
I'm not sure it is an appropriate place, but it works.

Beowulf and the Anglo Saxons Trailer (2007)
"BEOWULF AND THE ANGLO-SAXONS dives into the culture of the people who created the classic myth." 27 February 2007 Factual 63 mins
This documentary goes beyond the text of the epic poem and examines the history behind its writing. With interviews and travels in Europe, BEOWULF AND THE ANGLO-SAXONS dives into the culture of the people who created the classic myth. This title also explores the warrior society of the ancient people. Miraculously preserved over the centuries, its artistic importance was unrecognized until an essay by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) revealed its unity and multi-dimensional structure. Beowulf is now regarded as the most important manuscript the Anglo-Saxons have handed down to us, of immense linguistic as well as poetic value. This program sets out to trace the origins of the tribes that brought this epic into being, the war-like Norsemen from Sweden, Denmark and Germany who were to conquer and settle regions of a more clement and fertile island that would become known as England, named after the tribe of the Angles.

Restaurant review: Cuffs a proper place that deserves to prosper
Cuffs Bar & Grill, Crumlin Road Gaol, Belfast. Tel: 028 9075 5822
Crumlin Road Gaol has been the surprise tourism hit for Belfast, with visitors comparing it to Alcatraz in San Francisco and Robin Island in South Africa. It has everything: a colourful recent political past, a tunnel linking it to the courthouse and a hangman's noose and trapdoor. What more do you need to make this place work for tourists? A restaurant in the dungeons, naturally.
Cuffs, the new restaurant, sits in the bowels of the gaol. I'm not sure if these are actually dungeons, but they are distinctly crypt-like. In an old Victorian gaol, this arched and pillared underground room appears to have had a decidedly gloomy history, with armoured doors and slots for guards to peer in and out.
But, thanks to the decorators, it's not gloomy at all. If anything, Cuffs is romantic and cosy, furnished with plush green and gold velvet upholstered chairs and private booths in the middle of the low ceilinged room. If this were anywhere else, you'd be comparing it to a private members' club. Which, I suppose, in some ways it might once have been.
Cuffs doesn't overdo the joke, however. There are half-a-dozen daily specials including chicken Kiev, confit of duck and stuffed pork loin, but in the main menu you will find a 'long stretch burger'. And that's it. No gruel, gaoler's suppers or rations and no tin plates or plastic cutlery. Because it's a proper restaurant, with a wine list and good service.
One of the day's specials, the peppered beef brisket with pepper sauce, came with triple cooked chips. I couldn't fault it. The meat was tender and tasty, the pepper sauce rich and spicy. I asked for more and was given a pot of the stuff within seconds. It tasted slightly different, which was a welcome sign. A dressed mixed salad was excellent, crunchy, lush and with a tangy vinaigrette.
Lunches like these are not widely available, even though they should be. Cuffs hits it just right. The menu is not going to frighten the natives, and for this reason and the fact that it has that private clubby sense of exclusivity, it really is a good spot for business lunches. Add the fact that you can park for free and you don't have to buy a ticket into the main gaol, and Cuffs becomes an even more attractive proposition.
The thing is, it's far better than just a gimmick for tourists. This is a restaurant which has enough poise and presence, is well enough managed to deserve to be an attraction in its own right.
It has thrown in a great mix of Irish produce, including Tipperary dry goat's cheese salad, Ulster beef, Rockvale chicken wings with Cashel blue cheese dipper, Belfast smoked salmon from Ewings and slow roasted pork belly with parsnips, squash and Armagh apple dressing.
Crumlin Road Gaol is a fantastic visit, by the way. It has been sensitively interpreted and plays a role in bringing together communities in this part of north Belfast which have been ripped asunder in recent decades by sectarianism.
I had a good look around to see what kind of people were in this Tuesday and could tell the table of three ladies was one of women who know a good lunch, and a large table of 10 for a family was where the craic was.
Come quietly, don't give them any trouble and you may find you make a habit of going to gaol.

Gorakhpur, Sep 19 (UNI) Unleashing vitriol on at the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre, the BJP vice-president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh charged the government with failing to control terrorist activities in the country.
Talking to mediapersons here today, Mr Singh said the UPA government had done nothing to curb terrorism, which has posed threat to internal security of the country.
He said the terrorist had made UP their hub and ISI and SIMI had stretched their network in nearly 34 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
Focussing over the need of POTA like law to curtail the terrorist activities in the nation, he said if NDA resumed power at the Centre, it would certainly bring in a tough law within 100 days.
He said the BJP would not compromise over terrorism and national security and for this, NDA was the only choice before the people.
Charging the Congress with dealing with menance softly, he said the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat had sent a proposal of anti-terrorist law to the Centre, but they rejected it.
UPA's such attitude was behind the delay in Parliament attack case convict Afzal Guru's execution, he said adding the terrorist would be hanged with immediate effect after NDA comes back in power at Centre.
He further both Hindus and Muslims should unitedly fight against terrorims.
Replying to a question over the attack made on BJP MP Yogi Adityanath in Azamgarh, he said Mayawati-led BSP government was the silent player behind the attack which she had proved by not taking any action into the incident.
He further said the attack was highly condemnable as it was not made on the senior BJP leader but was an attack on ''Hinduism.'' Making a scathing attack on the opposition leaders, who visited Ahmedabad blast prime suspect Abdul Basher's family, Mr Singh said it was sad that political leaders were backing Basher by extending sympathies to his family.
On being asked about Ram temple at Ayodhya, he said the temple was associated with the sentiments of crores of Hindus and should be constructed and people should stop politicising the issue.

Hogsmeade – Hogwarts Express – June 30th 1995 (Friday Midmorning)
More than one pair of rolled eyes and syrupy smiles followed the pair as Piotr was helping Padma with her baggage enter the train. While they were never caught snogging like other pairs, vanishing in some broom closet or doing similar 'indecent' – as Molly Weasley would certainly call it – things, it was clear to every onlooker how close they had become in the past and more than one girl was envious of Padma to have such a caring and romantic boyfriend.
Nothing did they know about the things going on in his head. Padma – her name meaning white lotus he pondered with a smile – was one of the most beautiful and intelligent girls of Hogwarts. Piotr especially liked her warm character and her good-natured humor. That she was able to stand back without envy and let him spend time with his friends was only the icing on the cake. But both realized that – while they really liked to spend time together and liked the idea of being a pair – they perhaps weren't meant to be something permanent. Piotr would spent the first and last week of the summer break with her family, the six weeks in between reserved for quality time with her parents in India, visiting their rather large family there. He wanted to use the next days to speak with her about the matter, wanted to 'allow her' – not that she really needed it – to 'follow other leads'.
No, he wasn't hell bent on losing her. In contrary he liked her very much and loved to be with her. But this was the very reason why he wanted to make sure that she knew better than to let an opportunity slip thru her fingers should she get to know 'someone special'. She deserved the best, deserved real and deep love and he wouldn't be 'the one' for her. If she allowed it he would spend time with her in the next year but he would let her go if she wanted to.
"You know," Hermione stated as she entered the train after the pair "I expect some letters from you. The first week you're off the hook but after that …"
Piotr grinned at her: "No problem. I assume I'll have more than enough time to tell you about my boring nights at St. Mungo." His expression showed that he wasn't serious about the boring part. In contrary he was more than happy that the internship with one of the spirit healers at St. Mungo really came off. Healer Prewitt, the healer who had spent the last summer with him, had organized these six weeks for him and he was quite thrilled to have an opportunity to implement the theoretic knowledge he had acquired this year.
At least Hermione would be in England too, in reach of owled letters. Padma would have to wait but he had promised her to write a kind of letter-diary about his experiences. It would be a kind of welcome gift after her return and she had been quite excited about his plans as he told her about it.
After Hermione Ron and Ginny entered the train and another point crossed his mind. The day before – with all students in high spirit about the incoming summer break and relieved to have finished this year's exams – he had spoken with Ron. The conversation had gone better than feared, worse than hoped. Piotr wasn't sure about having made clear his point: that he hoped Ron to be a real brother for his sister in the summer break, protecting her from everyone – inside or outside the family. Ron had been calm – more or less – and seemed to understand the implication: the danger Arthur and Percy Weasley posed for Ginny's welfare and especially her mental growth. But he hadn't shown a real grasp of the importance of this, that an unfair or too harsh treatment thru her family could do permanent damage to Ginny. Piotr could only hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
According to Headmaster Dumbledore this would be the motto of the next school year. After their return to the tournament field – Piotr exhausted, Hermione worried, Harry wounded and Cedric unconscious – there had been quite uproar among the spectators. Seldom before had Piotr felt such a relief as in the moment he noticed the breath motions of Cedric – shallow, erratic, but existent they were. Harry had been able to tell them about the curses Peter Pettigrew had hit Cedric with and about Nagini. The exotic giant snake had bitten the boy and it had been the most urgent matter to stabilize him. Snape had been working on an effective antidote since then. Help offered by Piotr he had declined – in an astonishing friendly matter – friendly in regards of Snape's personality. Piotr could only hope that he would be fast enough with the antidote.
That Minister Fudge instantly declined the possibility of Voldemort's return – despite Harry, Piotr and Hermione's statements – shouldn't have been such a surprise. Right the next day there had been an article in the Daily Prophet about a 'handful of madmen, of lost souls, inclined to sabotage the tournament'. That they didn't believe their statements about Peter Pettigrew's presence – something that would go a long way to exonerate Sirius – made the matter only the worse.
At the annual closure celebration Headmaster Dumbledore had openly and clearly supported the statements of his students, announced his trust and expressed his hopes that all students and teachers would stand together in the next year and fight the arising darkness. But Piotr had seen doubt on many faces; doubt fueled by fear, the same fear he had noticed in Fudge's face.
Piotr wasn't sure about this, wasn't sure that reason and trust would succeed above prejudices and hate. But at least his friends would be there again. Even Fleur would be at Hogwarts again next year. Dumbledore had offered her a partial teacher's position. She would teach History of magic for the years below OWL level and offer some voluntary courses for everyone about themes like dancing, music and art.
Only Viktor would be away then. Viktor's use of Cruciatus spells against Cedric had been excused – he had been under an Imperio spell. He would finish school this summer and go on with his professional Quidditch career. But he had promised to owl them, him, Fleur and especially Hermione. Even with her out of reach – girlfriend way – he obviously liked the idea of having the brightest witch of England as a pen pal.
One good point about the whole 'we downplay the events at all costs' was the fact that nobody had shown any interest in Piotr's use of the Animagus spell. Yes, he had registered as an Animagus more than one year ago, but the spell belonging to the Transfiguration class he wasn't allowed to use it for the next three months. Thank Merlin everyone was more than willing to overlook this 'small misbehavior' and Piotr was quite willing to drop the point too.
Smiling at his girlfriend – Padma in her usual position sitting at his side, her bare feet on the seat cushion, her head leant against his shoulder, her nose in a book – he remembered the moment he told her about his use of the Indian command 'Aad'. A few weeks ago she had willingly helped him to gather the most useful words but using them really and benefitting from the work had been a nice surprise for her too.
Next year … what would it bring? Would it be better, easier? Piotr didn't dare to hope so. With Voldemort back it was only a question of time before he was able to muster his old cadre again and spread fear in the wizarding world. They had to be prepared. And they would be.
Heavy steps echoed thru the sparsely lit hall. An astute observer would detect the particular kind of walking, something the guest wasn't able to fully suppress after months of pretending to be someone else. Even with both of his leg now fully functional he slightly favored his left, the other one being dragged behind like some dead object.
Only two persons were waiting in the large hall, the last other person – Lucius Malfoy – shooed away minutes ago. Only Peter Pettigrew was allowed to see this visitor of his Lord, only the rat knew who the valuable conspirator was who had been able to put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire. The plan hadn't gone well in entirety but he had played his part well enough.
Somewhat labored he went down on one knee and bowed to his Lord, rising again on his sign. To Bartho Crouch's relief his Lord seemed to be in a mood well enough but he stayed silent, knew better than to speak too early.
The voice was not fully human and sent showers even down Crouch's spine: "You have done well, Master Crouch. Regretfully the boy escaped but your part in the game went flawlessly. You're still able to play Moody's part in Hogwarts, I assume?"
Crouch wasn't sure. Had he heard a hint of disappointment? Should he have tried to fetch the boy after his return? "From the telling of the boy I assumed that your return went successfully, my Lord. Even with Minister Fudge's denial already too many knew about the ritual. I weighed the pros and cons and came to the conclusion that I could be of better help staying there, pretending to be trustworthy for Dumbledore still."
Crouch was unable to completely suppress the sigh of relief as his Lord nodded slightly. "We'll find another way to deal with the boy. For now lay low and wait for new orders. You'll play a part in my plans next year."
With a last bow Crouch turned to leave the hall as his Lord spoke a last time: "Next time I want to hear all you know about this other boy: Piotr." The pure hatred in his voice was undeniable. Crouch nodded and as he passed the door a dark gleam was visible in his eyes: "Kamenew!"
This is the end of the second part of my Piotr-Cycle. I plan to write some shorter stories first about more traditional pairings first but I won't omit this cycle totally. I just like my Piotr-character too much to simply stop here and so there will be at least another part next year.

I think I am inspired by pain. I realised this as I was sitting on my balcony last night and looking at Sonnenallee – tears started to come down my cheeks, wetting my nightgown. I thought of so many ideas for different photography projects; my mind was running wild. But I was confused… how could I take inspiration from such an awful incident?
Why was I crying? On the 28th of June, 2016, three men attacked the Istanbul Atatürk Airport killing and injuring people. How could they? I wish I could understand. But perhaps I do understand. They did it because they do not know how it feels to create something – or someone in this case. They have never known what it feels like to love or to be loved.
We come into this world through an act of 'love' between a man and a woman: sex. Most of the world lives in different systems. Some of them support the idea that sex is a sinful act. It is not. Sex is where life comes from, it is part of nature. Yet we are so embarrassed to even talk about it. But how can this be natural and healthy? We should all be talking about it, experiencing it so that we do not get obsessed. The hidden always attracts attention.
Sexual energy needs to flow out of us; it should never be blocked. It is how we get inspired. It is how we learn how to show and receive love. The moment of climax is one of the few moments in life when we are free from our egos and time stops. That is why it feels so good – because for a few seconds we are unconscious and free.
The three bombers of Istanbul were from a culture that supports the suppression of sexuality – they are ruled by religious leaders and politicians who take advantage of those people who are miserable and unloved. They created terror, fear and hate. My answer to this will always be more of my art, more love and more fighting for freedom in every way.

Cornelius Barthelemy and Caesar Adams casually got out of an SUV, sauntered down Elysian Fields Avenue and slowly rounded the corner onto St. Claude Avenue, where they came face to face with Officer Jonathan Smith at 1:42 a.m. Sunday.
The two jumped back around the corner 10 seconds later, with Barthelemy scrambling to the waiting SUV, apparently holding his side with one hand and a gun with the other. Adams took a few steps, stumbled, pushed himself back to his feet and quickly limped to the vehicle.
The brief interaction between the men and Smith, punctuated by a quick exchange of gunfire, was the result of a botched robbery attempt, a prosecutor told a judge Monday.
Surveillance footage the New Orleans Police Department released does not show the pair coming face to face with Smith, leaving some questions about the sequence of events in the moments they were out of sight of cameras.
But according to an application for an arrest warrant, Barthelemy, 34, pointed a "large chrome revolver" at Smith, who was in his uniform working an off-duty detail at the store, and fired several shots. Smith returned the fire.
"Based on the manner in which they ran to the waiting Ford Expedition, the investigators believed both men had been struck by the officer's gunshots," Detective Kevin Burns wrote in the document.
Barthelemy was arrested hours later after he was found at a Gretna apartment complex.
Adams, 36, was found dead in the back of the SUV, which was parked at the same location. He was identified Monday by Gerry Cvitanovich, the Jefferson Parish coroner.
The third suspect, whom Barthelemy identified to police only as "Renegade," surrendered to Plaquemines Parish authorities on Monday and was later turned over to New Orleans police for questioning.
That suspect, James Wilson, 26, the apparent getaway driver, was later booked with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, said Tyler Gamble, a New Orleans Police Department spokesman.
Assistant District Attorney Philip Costa said during Barthelemy's initial hearing earlier in the day that the men were trying to rob Gene's Po-Boys, according to nola.com.
While undergoing treatment for his gunshot wound Sunday at Interim LSU Hospital, Barthelemy allegedly admitted to being one of the men seen in surveillance photos of the incident that police showed him. However, he claimed he did not remember being at the corner that morning and said he "would never shoot" a police officer, according to the application for the arrest warrant.
A gunshot residue test performed on Barthelemy's hands found traces of barium, antimony and lead, the three main components that make up gunshot residue, according to the document.
Barthelemy was booked on a count of attempted first-degree murder of a police officer and a count of first-degree murder. State law allows for armed robbers to face a first-degree murder charge if a person dies during a robbery.
Magistrate Judge Harry Cantrell set bail at $500,000 for the attempted murder charge, according to court records. That, however, was largely a procedural action that was essentially canceled out because there was no bail set for the murder charge.
Police on Sunday said Smith was shot three times, but court documents indicate he was struck twice: once in his right leg, fracturing his femur, and once in his lower back with the bullet lodging in his spine.
He was in "good spirits and very coherent," interim NOPD Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters Sunday during a news conference, adding that the injuries are not expected to be life-threatening.
Smith remained hospitalized Monday, Gamble said.

Virgin Media's managing director of brand and marketing has decided to leave the company.
James Kydd, who joined the company following the acquisition of Virgin Mobile in July 2006 is credited with being one of the driving forces behind the launch of Virgin Media in February 2007.
Kydd said: 'I'm proud of the great work that Virgin Media's marketing team has done over the last two years. With the brand now firmly established in consumers' minds, I now believe it's time for a new challenge.'
CEO at Virgin Media, Neil Berkett, said: 'James has been one of the key architects of Virgin Media. In an industry not traditionally known for its creative marketing, his work has helped put the Virgin Media brand firmly on the map and establish a distinctive voice for the company.'
Kydd will leave the company in September. A successor has yet to be announced.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Fencot Early Origins
Oxfordshire at Fencott (Fencot), a hamlet in the parish of Charltonupon-Otmore, union of Bicester, hundred of Ploughley. Conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Fencote, held by the Abbess of Fencote from the King, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. Fencott and Murcott is a civil parish about 4 miles (6 km) south of Bicester in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire.
Fencot Spelling Variations
Fencot Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Fencote, Fencot, Fencott, Fencourt, Fencourte, Fencord and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Fencot or a variant listed above were: John Fencott, who came to Maryland or Virginia in 1666; and Ann Fencott, who came to Maryland in 1667.

So, it used to be the norm back in the day for players to spend their precious platinum popping crate after crate hoping for that lucky mythic or arcane item to show up on their screen. That still happens yes, but speaking from my experience I never got lucky or at least it didn't pay off so those days are behind me. Now I buy items to sell with my plat to make gold slowly but surely.
But, That got me thinking, instead of spending 5-15 plat on a crate, why not spend 1-15 plat on a dungeon or map you enter that could yield the same type of items and or better loot/gold chances than normal or elite maps?
It would make spending your plat a little more fun and exciting as you run through destroying mobs and finally a boss wondering if you'll get that lucky valuable item.
You can do this already in a sense for free in certain maps but if the platinum based maps had better rewards with more of a chance to drop depending on how much plat you spend would you run them? Especially if you could loot more plat and other crate based items that were only in those maps.
And of course STS should sell tradable map tokens for players who want to run a certain map but cant spend plat and want to use gold. Either way though, someone has to buy plat and use it on tokens to sell, for someone to enter one of these maps.
What do you think, would you run a map like this?? Does this sound better than opening locked crates?

"Momma was a great Mother-in law, she made me welcome to the family from the day Jim and I married and really before that. My friends could not believe how lucky I was to have a great Mother-in law, they did not have the experience that I had with their Mother-in Laws, she was the best, she is missed everyday.
"Good morning, Momma~ It seems IMPOSSIBLE that you've already been gone from Midland for 12 YEARS. Gone...but still very much with us in thought and memories. I still have yellow roses (and a blue one) in my yard to remind me of your affection. And that old windchime that used to hang outside your kitchen window has been in my yard for quite some time now. It doesn't make the "music" of some of my other chimes...but what could you expect from tubes of pipe with a tail cut from a windmill blade..?? It's still one of my treasures. I mentioned to someone just the other day that if I WERE to be a mother-in-law (which isn't going to happen), I'd want to be just like you. You were THE BEST ..and then, I think the mold was broken."

Defiance State of the Game Update
Trick Dempsey, Creative Lead for Defiance, posted the latest "state of the game" update on Friday the 13th. Let's hope it's not a harbinger of bad things to come.
While Dempsey acknowledged that shooting, driving, and chasing arkfalls are "entertaining as hell"... he also admitted that things could be a lot better. He seems pretty adamant about getting all aspects of the game up to snuff.
Guns Make the Shooter
Fixing weapons is the first thing on their list. Which is great to hear, because any shooter - whether it be an MMO or an FPS - needs to have a fantastic arsenal to play with. For instance, think of Borderlands and the infinite selection that series has given us. Based on Dempsey's comments (they'll be making sure each gun is a "viable and attractive choice" and that each one will have their own "special breed of fun"), it sounds like they're going to "trick" out the Defiance arsenal in much the same way.
But it's not all about the diversity... they'll be tweaking the core balance of base weapons, making sure that rarity/mastery bonuses are appropriately applied, and rarer guns will "always be accompanied with celebration and never disappointment." Oh ya... it sounds like they're definitely taking a page from the Borderlands playbook.
Shooting, driving, and chasing down arkfalls are each entertaining as hell, and that's a great foundation to build upon. Defiance has incredible potential, and it is going to reach that potential come hell or waters that are high. - Trick Dempsey
Inventory Redux
One of my gripes has always been the rather clumsy inventory system. Thankfully, Dempsey acknowledged that it "needs serious improvement". The game allows for different loadouts, but due to the limited inventory space making decisions on the fly is almost impossible. They're promising a smoother process. Let's hope so.
Another clunky element to Defiance is that it's an MMO, but sometimes it doesn't feel like one. You can thank the lackluster social features. Dempsey said chat (voice and text), along with other systems will be enhanced to provide more convenient, reliable social experience.
Cooperative Corrections
A few other things of note: to help the game feel more like an MMO, objectives and UI elements will be altered to improve the flow of the game and draw more players into the same location in hopes of beefing up cooperation and competition. Shields will have a "valid tactical advantage" to them (he specifically mentioned the Ironclads were getting "significant buffs").
What about the future? The second DLC expansion will include arkfall interiors (finally!), new boss encounters, and power-ups called spikes and stims.
It probably sounds like I'm harping on this game, but I actually really dig it (and the SyFy show too). Having played it since beta, I find it a fun post-apocalyptic, alien world to romp around in. And with no monthly fee I'll happily play it for years. Fellow GameSkinny columnist Ask Erin wrote up a very detailed review that outlines why you should play it. So give it a read!
So, what do you think about the promised changes?

Braised Short Rib Chalupas
Don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients or the number of steps for these chalupas, which are a specialty at the Los Angeles bar and restaurant Bar Amá, which pairs inventive Tex-Mex cuisine with craft cocktails. You'll likely find that many of the ingredients are already in your pantry, and both the short ribs and the borracho beans can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and rewarmed right before assembling the chalupas, making this a great dish to serve at a party. Better yet, set out the ingredients and allow your guests to assemble their own chalupas for a fun fiesta that requires minimal last-minute prep work.
For the short ribs:
- 5 lb. (2.5 kg) beef short ribs
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 5 Tbs. canola oil
- 3 yellow onions, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 5 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
- 1 fresh thyme sprig
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups (16 fl. oz./500 ml) dry red wine
- 6 cups (48 fl. oz./1.5 l) beef stock
For the borracho beans:
- 1 lb. (500 g) dried pinto beans, soaked in water overnight
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) finely diced poblano chile
- 1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) finely diced carrot
- 1/2 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) finely diced celery
- 2 Tbs. minced garlic
- 1 Tbs. minced fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbs. minced fresh thyme
- 1 Tbs. minced fresh oregano
- 1 Tbs. ground coriander
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 bottles (12 oz./375 ml each) beer, preferably a light and crisp variety
- 2 cups (16 fl. oz./500 ml) vegetable stock
- 1 cup (8 oz./250 g) crushed canned tomatoes
- 3 Tbs. brown sugar
- 3 Tbs. pureed chipotles in adobo sauce
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
For the chile-vinegar salsa:
- 1/2 cup (4 fl. oz. / 125 ml.) white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp. ancho chile powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. chile de arbol powder or cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp. guajillo chile powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. grated onion
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
For assembling:
- 4 cups (12 oz./375 g) shredded green cabbage
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) olive oil, or more, to taste
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) fresh lime juice, or more, to taste
- 1/2 kosher salt, or more, to taste
- Canola oil for frying
- 16 corn tortillas
- 2 cups (12 oz./375 g) Bar Ama Guacamole
- 1 cup (3 oz./90 g) crumbled cotija cheese
To braise the short ribs:
Preheat an oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the short ribs generously with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm 3 Tbs. of the oil until nearly smoking. Working in batches to avoid crowding, brown the ribs on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the ribs to a platter and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 Tbs. oil to the pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
Return the ribs to the pot and add the stock. The stock should come about three-quarters of the way up the ribs. If it doesn't, add water as needed. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the ribs are very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
While the meat is braising, begin preparing the borracho beans (see below).
When the short ribs are tender, remove from the oven and remove the ribs from the pot. When the ribs are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, shred into bite-size pieces and season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bones and the braising liquid.
To make the borracho beans:
About an hour after you put the ribs in the oven, drain the pinto beans.
In a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the poblano chile, carrot and celery and sauté until the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, coriander and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the garlic is slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the drained beans, beer, vegetable stock, tomatoes, brown sugar, chipotle puree and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
To make the chile-vinegar salsa:
While the beans are cooking, in a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, chile powders, onion and salt. Set aside.
To assemble the chalupas:
In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the olive oil, lime juice and salt. Taste and add more olive oil, lime juice or salt if desired. Set aside.
In a deep, heavy fry pan over medium-high heat, pour in oil to a depth of 1 inch (2.5 cm) and heat to 375°F (190°C) on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Working in batches, fry the tortillas, turning them once, until they are crisp and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. As they are done, transfer the tortillas to the prepared baking sheet to drain.
Place a tortilla on a plate and spread 2 Tbs. of the borracho beans on top. Top the beans with 2 Tbs. of the guacamole and then 1/4 cup of the shredded short ribs. Spread 1/4 cup of the cabbage mixture on top of the chalupa and sprinkle with 2 Tbs. of the cotija cheese. Drizzle with the chile-vinegar salsa.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to assemble 16 chalupas, or allow guests to assemble their own chalupas. Serves 8.

Max Flash: Mission 1
by Jonny Zucker
illustrated by Ned Woodman
Hardcover, 144 pagesPublished November 1st 2013 by Darby Creek Publishing
I received a free e-galley via NetGalley.
As a double-jointed son of magicians it is only natural that Max becomes part of the act with his escape abilities. He is a little surprised when he finds out his parents have an underground headquarters where they act as secret agents for an even more top secret agency, the DFEA. Max is now being asked to become an agent as well and is ready to head out on his first mission. He gets to battle monsters, race cars and live in the virtual world of computer games (think Tron) as he hunts down a rogue bad guy from a new game. Armed with awesome gadgets and his own unique abilities Max is the perfect kid for the job. This is the first in an action-packed intermediate series that will entertain readers, particularly boys, in the 2nd grade on up. This will also be a great choice for older but reluctant readers. The black and white illustrations throughout are well-done and add a graphic novel feel to the story.

Sheriff identifies Glyndon man who died after vehicle plunged into ditch; driver returning home from work when he crashed
UPDATED 12:43 p.m.
GLYNDON, Minn. - A 40-year-old Glyndon man, Thomas William Grover, is dead after the van he was driving went off the end of a T-intersection and crashed into a deep drainage ditch northeast of Moorhead, Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist said Tuesday.
Bergquist said Grover was driving a Nardini Fire Equipment van and was on his way home from work when the crash occurred.
A trucker passing by saw the van in the ditch south of County Road 26 at 70th Street North and reported it to law enforcement about 5:30 a.m.
Bergquist said Grover, a father of two, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was not ejected from the vehicle, Bergquist said.
It's unknown how long the van had been in the ditch, which is about 15 feet deep, Bergquist said.

Britain to be back in the black by 2018
UK public spending will be back in the black in four years
The Office for Budget Responsibility reckons that by 2018 government spending will no longer exceed income.
Its report said: "It would represent one of the largest budget reductions among advanced countries in the post-war period."
The OBR blamed previous budget debts on reckless spending by Labour in the period that Gordon Brown was Prime Minister. It said the lavish spending plans announced by Labour in 2007 went ahead despite the onset of the banking crisis.
"The Tory-led Government has slashed spending to 38 per cent of the nation's output"
Mr Brown's government also spent heavily on job support at a time when tax receipts were plummeting.
But now efforts by Chancellor George Osborne and the Coalition to regain control of public finances look to be working.
The Tory-led Government has slashed spending to 38% of the nation's output. That compares to 46% under Labour around four years ago.
There have also been cuts in capital spending and the welfare budget has been brought under control. An OBR spokesman said: "Given our latest economic forecast and the Government's policy settings, public finances appear on track to return to balance by 2018-19."

The Leave-taking of Christmas
Today on the liturgical calendar (Dec 31/Jan 13)is called what is known as the "leaving-taking" of Christmas. It means that this is the final day on which the feast is celebrated in the liturgy. It concludes the so-called post-festive period of the feast.
All major church holidays have post-festive periods and "leave-takings." They usually last for eight days, but can differ depending on what is approaching next on the calendar.
In Church Slavonic, this "leave-taking" is called, the "otdaniye" of the feast, in Greek, the "apolysis, in contemporary Ukrainian, the "viddannya." All of these words mean literally mean a "dismissal" or a "going forth" They imply that one might now return to normal observance of the liturgical daily cycle, minus the festal texts that are taken in the post-feast.
In our present case with Christmas, this dismissal does not last long, for we immediately celebrate Jan 1/14 as the Circumcision of Christ and St. Basil the Great and then enter straight-away, into the "pre-festive" time of the Baptism of the Lord. As I'm sure I'll discuss, the Baptism (also known as Theophany, Epiphany, Manifestation and simply, Yordan), is one of the most important feasts of the year, full of biblical and theological symbols.
Today, it seemed as if many of the faithful decided to "take-leave" of Christmas a bit early, since the service was not nearly as well attended as on the Feast of the Nativity itself. I suppose this is a bit normal in our society. Nevertheless, there is something lost if one does not participate in the weekly and festal cycle of the church. While celebrations come each and every year, they do come only once. The liturgical year is a type of "seamless garment" that when sewn together, forms a beautiful robe which brings the Gospel alive before our eyes.
Happy Leave-taking of the Nativity everyone. We have two more feasts to go in this Christmas cycle. I pray they are joyous ones for all of us.
