SOME day Dexter Palmer might be a professor of 20th-century American video games, editing The Annals of Computer Game Research with his good friend and colleague Roger Bellin, who by then might hold the Grand Theft Auto Endowed Chair at a prestigious university.
Right now, Dr. Palmer and Mr. Bellin analyze video games only on the side. Dr. Palmer, a 29-year-old with a Ph.D. in English, writes test questions by day for the Educational Testing Service (and by night reworks his dissertation on James Joyce, William Gaddis and Thomas Pynchon into a book).
Mr. Bellin, 26, who once designed educational video games, is a Princeton graduate student studying a more traditional American storytelling medium: books.
Video-game studies is still a nascent field, too young to have a standard list of must-play games, let alone endowed professorships. The day Mr. Bellin and Dr. Palmer can meet at the faculty club to discuss Mr. Bellin's seminar on first-person shooters of the 1990's, or reminisce about Dr. Palmer's mastery of Akira's Stun Palm of Doom in time to complete his exegesis of Virtua Fighter 4, is still far off.
Nonetheless, the first 30 years of video-game history have provided ample material for game critics, Mr. Bellin says. ''Even discounting all but the very best examples, there are already enough games around to keep critics busy for a long time,'' he said. But critics are uncertain about what to do with these riches. ''There just isn't yet much agreement about what critical vocabulary, what concepts, we would need in order to make claims about games and evaluate them confidently,'' Mr. Bellin said.Continue reading the main story
To that end, Mr. Bellin and Dr. Palmer have organized a conference on March 6 at Princeton called ''Form, Culture and Video Game Criticism,'' the first of its kind at an Ivy League university.
A lawyer, a journalist, a composer, two professors, two lecturers and six graduate students will present papers with titles like ''Musical Byproducts of Atari 2600 Games'' and ''But Our Princess Is in Another Castle: Towards a 'Close-Playing' of Super Mario Brothers.''
Mr. Bellin and Dr. Palmer's premise is shared by others who study computer games: games are credible objects of intellectual inquiry because they are central to American popular entertainment and a major global industry. According to the Entertainment Software Association, entertainment software sales reached $6.9 billion in the United States in 2002; the British Department of Trade and Industry reported that the worldwide market reached more than $21 billion in 2001.
In fact, video games have long been a focus of academic study. In 1985 Mary Ann Buckles wrote what is considered to be the first dissertation about a computer game. During the 1980's and 1990's, psychologists and sociologists studied the links between games and violence, and which features of games attracted more boys than girls. Researchers came to games from disparate fields: computer science, literary studies and film studies.
But since 2000, game studies has begun carving out its own territory. Universities in both the United States and Europe offer graduate programs in game studies, and conferences devoted to games, like the one at Princeton, are becoming more common. A professional organization, the Digital Game Researchers Association (www.digra.org), links developers with academic researchers. Scholars can publish in three peer-reviewed journals and contribute to game studies Web logs (ludology.org, ludonauts.com, terranova.blogs.com and buzzcut.com). The field's snappy new name is ludology, from ludus, Latin for game.
Now game critics are rephrasing the fundamental questions that Aristotle gave to literary studies about 2,300 years ago: What is the purpose of a game? How do we describe the experience of playing a game, or game play?
Others say that games need a Shakespeare, someone who can catapult the digital medium forward. ''But Aristotle was one of the things that helped create Shakespeare,'' said Janet Murray, who teaches game design and interactive media at Georgia Institute of Technology, the first American university to offer a Ph.D. in humanities-based digital media. ''Putting those things together, the analysis of games with a tradition of storytelling, trying to have a critical vocabulary of games that will help raise the standards of practice.''
Aristotle might begin by asking, ''What is a game?'' To answer, critics point to a spectrum of games from abstract to narrative, with Tetris at one end and Grand Theft Auto on the other. Yet The Sims or Sim City, which a player neither wins nor loses, leaves critics divided, as does EverQuest, if one requires that a game have a definite endpoint. (As its title suggests, EverQuest can be played perpetually.) To further complicate the definition, the linear quest game Half-Life has only one course of action, giving a player no influence over the final outcome. Does that make it a game, or merely a story disguised as a game?
Such confusion is not unique to game studies, says Gonzalo Frasca, a game developer from Uruguay who now studies games at the Center for Computer Game Research at the IT University in Copenhagen, which has emerged as a hub of game studies. ''Defining games is as hard as defining other categories, such as literature or film,'' Mr. Frasca said. ''We all agree that novels are literature, but what about toilet graffiti? Are Webcams examples of film?''
Game studies can comfortably live with disagreement on the issue of what constitutes a game, according to Espen Aarseth, who is the principal researcher at the Center for Computer Games Research and a co-founder with Susana Tosca of the field's first journal, Game Studies. What the emerging field lacks are senior researchers who can guide young scholars and enforce standards for research. (The field is so young that at 38, Dr. Aarseth already qualifies.) ''If game studies is to advance as a field and be of use to society, it must develop a research program that can unite artistic, social and technical perspectives,'' he said.
That means developing ways to study games that are specific to the medium. Borrowing methodologies from other fields like film studies works to a point. Dr. Palmer, co-organizer of the Princeton conference, said that he and Mr. Bellin turned down papers that misapplied theories of film to gaming. ''Many of them tended to view games simply as films with an element of interactivity shoehorned into them, which is, I think, the wrong way to go,'' he said.
Games are also different because there are so many ways into them. One unique methodology is called close gameplay, in which a researcher plays critical scenes of a game repeatedly, analyzing the details, perhaps searching for an anomaly the programmers have buried in the code or simply arriving at some resolution.
But close game play may require researchers to use cheat codes or other game-play hacks. This is a new issue in game studies circles, said Mia Consalvo, an assistant professor at Ohio University who studies the place cheating has in the game industry. ''To get a really good idea of how the game plays, you shouldn't cheat,'' she said. The length of the game, she said, is crucial to the experience that a player has.
On the other hand, academics may not have the time to become power players, racking up a huge max chain on Ikagura or playing Diablo three times through without dying. ''Games are big, big objects,'' said Barry Atkins, who teaches in the English department at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. ''The days when you could play a couple of hours of Myst and write about it are over.''
Dr. Atkins admitted that he didn't finish Half-Life before writing about it in his 2003 book, ''More Than a Game: The Computer Game as Fictional Form,'' (Manchester University Press), and only later realized he was two minutes from the shocking plot reversal at the end when he stopped. ''I am very nervous that I got it wrong,'' he said.
And from the perspective of game developers, academics and their concerns seem distant. ''So far, the academic and the industry worlds, they're very far away,'' said Mr. Frasca, who intends to play a role of a bridge. ''Developers do not read academic articles, and that's not going to happen any time soon.'' Academics generated animosity early on by judging games as violent. ''They were also not gamers,'' he said, ''which made it weird to listen to their analyses.''
If a game-studies Aristotle is going to emerge, he or she will most likely come from the generation for whom playing games well is not far-fetched. ''To be able to write the seminal text on video games, you have to have grown up playing them,'' said Dr. Atkins, who persuaded his university to pay for him to attend the Princeton conference. A tenured professor, he reports that his field of interest is stigmatized. ''It's fairly standard, the frowns I get from colleagues,'' he said.
Likewise, a Shakespeare might come from the generation of young scholars with an intellectual understanding of games and a familiarity with their underlying code. Nick Montfort, 31, a writer of interactive fiction and co-founder of another game studies Web log, grandtextauto.gatech.edu, defends his return to graduate school in computer science last year at the University of Pennsylvania. ''How are we going to understand how complex virtual worlds are put together if we don't understand how a computer program works?'' he asked.
An expert on literary modernism, Dr. Palmer wonders if game critics might also play a role in explaining difficult games, much as literary critics explained difficult texts like those written by Joyce, Pynchon and Gaddis.
To put it another way, just because easy games like The Sims, Grand Theft Auto and Tomb Raider are best sellers, should critics focus only on them? Dr. Palmer said that no one submitted a paper to the conference on an obscure Japanese role-playing game called Arc the Lad II, which was adapted for the American market in 2002 by Working Designs, a licensed third-party publisher for Sony.
Maybe, he said, game critics can someday explicate Arc the Lad, bringing it to a larger market in the same way that the literary entrepreneur Sylvia Beach supported Joyce and published ''Ulysses.''
''But I don't want to draw the comparison between Arc the Lad and 'Ulysses,''' Dr. Palmer said, ''because that would be very, very wrong.''Continue reading the main story

Rabbi Ya'akov Emden (Yavetz) was one of the great halachic authorities of his time. He lived in Hamburg at a time when – despite general belief – the Jews were already beginning to acclimate to society and live comfortably. And in the introduction (Sulam Beit El) to his famous siddur (Prayer Book), he wrote the following remarkable words – a cry to the Jew in the Exile:
Not one in a thousand arouses himself to dwell in the Land (of Israel), to live there.
Only one from a town and two from a family.
No one seeks its love, desires its peace and good and waits to see it.
It appears to us as we sit in comfort in the Exile that we have already discovered another Land of Israel and another Jerusalem.
And that is why there came upon us all the evils when we sat in Spain and other lands in comfort and great honor since the time of the Destruction … until we were later driven from there and not a trace was left of Jews in those countries.
And he concludes with words that shake the firmaments of the Jewish world:
How long will you sleep, O lazy one, in the bed of laziness … until the foundations of the universe shall be uncovered! And why shall you not acquire for yourself wise counsel to flee for your life while you yet may?
Stunning, powerful, awesome words from a halachic giant, Rabbi Ya'akov Emden! And the Jew hears nothing. And why should we be surprised? Why should we be astonished that the Jew fails to hear the words that echo from the eighteenth century, from Hamburg, German, when he cannot hear the cry of Bensonhurst?
I arrived in the United States for two weeks in time to see and hear the awesome cry of Rabbi Ya' akov Emden – this time from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. And I look about me at the Jew who apparently is blind to what is so obvious; so deaf to the screeching sounds about him, and so dumb – both in inability to express the reality and to understand it.
In the cold-blooded murder of a black youth in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, lies the reality of America, and the impossible dilemma for the Jews of that country who, like those of so many generations of Exile past, thought, in the words of Rabbi Ya'akov Emden, that "they had discovered another Land of Israel and another Jerusalem."
Bensonhurst lies in White America, attacked to Boro Park – land of Jewish certainty and assurance that herein lies yet another Eretz Yisrael and Jerusalem. Bensonhurst is an almost all-white enclave that, incredibly, brings comfort and security to the Jews who live there or who border on it. And in Bensonhurst a young man was gunned down because he was black – and the Jew heard nothing and understood nothing and felt not the slightest alarm. Indeed, G-d help us, there were not a few who agreed with the white gentiles that blacks who come into the neighborhood risk receiving what the murdered black man got.
Does no one see? Does not the Jew understand what the lesson of Bensonhurst is? Does not one look at the faces and souls of the Bensonhurst whites who stood jeering and taunting blacks and shouting "niggers," and understand that the bells toll for him? Is there not a Jew who saw the hate and venom and willingness to murder, and understood that those same faces and same haters and same people could, tomorrow, just as easily and willingly do the same to the Jew? Does the Jew not understand what he is hearing? Is the Jew listening? Does he want to listen? Does he want to understand that haters are not capable of being limited in their hatred to one particular people that is different? That those who hate blacks hate Jews, too, and perhaps even more? That hatred is a disease that enters the marrow of the bones and emerges in all its horrors whenever social or economic or psychological conditions drive it out into action?
What is it about the Jew that fails to make him understand that the hater, the bigot, the murderer of the black man today will be the destroyer of the Jew, tomorrow?
There is a host on a large New York City radio station. He is immensely popular with Jews, especially those of Brooklyn. He is a bigot and a hater – albeit a clever one. And how the Jews love it when he, in his viciousness, goes up against a "shwartzer."
And I remember once, driving in an automobile and listening to the man as an Hispanic caller phoned in. How the radio host-bigot ridiculed the man's accent! How he humiliated the man because of that accent that was different from the "American" one. And the very next caller fairly fell over himself in delight and congratulations to the host for how he handled the foreigner. The caller who was so delighted was from Brooklyn and had a Hungarian accent thick enough to serve with goulash under the light of his chandelier and the happy smiles of his wife under her sheitel
It is more than blind and needless hate that I cry out against. It is the fact that the Jew hears the haters of Bensonhurst crying out their bigotry and does not hear the unspoken word, "Jew!" For those thugs and gross hooligans and ignoramuses hate Jews with more passion than they do blacks. For what they really feel about blacks is fear, but they hate Jews. They are jealous of them and envious, and no greater hate emerges than from that . What did Solomon say: "Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who is able to stand before jealousy?" (Proverbs 27:4).
The same ones who murder blacks, and hate and fear them and curse them and "make the neighborhood safe," are those who sit in their bars muttering about Jews in frightening envy and jealousy that breeds the most awesome hatred of them all. They are a danger to the very survival of Jews and G-d help us all should there be an economic collapse that will drive them into unemployment and desperation and loosen the social chains that bind them.
And that is the dilemma. For the black community is one that is riddled with Jew-hatred. Real hard-core hatred of Jews. And much more open and much more "legitimate" than the kind that is endemic to whites. Not only is a Jesse Jackson capable of making outrageous anti-Jewish comments and yet remain a legitimate national figure and candidate for the Presidency, but on every campus in American the local black student group can issue openly anti-Jewish statements and not be condemned, let alone lose its college funding. Black papers and radio
stations can spew forth anti-Jewish hate, and the FCC and political leaders are strangely silent. The fact is that, despite the obscene refusal of Jewish liberals to condemn black Jew-hatred but rather to rationalize it away, blacks in great measure and in huge numbers hate Jews.
And that despair grips a Jew from Israel as he sees, on the one hand, the mindless, ugly faces of the Bensonhurst whites with their Jew-hatred barely beneath the surface, while at the funeral of the black youth, Farrakhan and his black-faced brownshirts arrived. The fact that they allowed the black Nazi Farrakhan to speak, and not one black leader protested (and naturally not a white politician dared to), underlies the despair and the hopelessness of the situation for the Jew.
On the one hand, a black community that has made anti-Semitism an integral part of its existence. On the other, far more dangerous white majority Jew-hating class. And that for the Jew is the real meaning of Bensonhurst and America that is riven, polarized, riddled with hate and violence that is held back only by economic prosperity. But behind that dam lie the waters of hate and envy and jealousy. And it is the Jew who is the target.
The Jew who saw and heard the faces and voices of Bensonhurst, the hate and violence and taunts, and who saw nothing and heard nothing. And the voice of Rabbi Ya'akov Emden comes across the ages, crying: Are you listening, Jew? And the Jew does not even hear that.

Remember the Tassajara cinnamon rolls posted on table.etc nearly 2 years ago? So good, huh? If you liked them, you will love these pecan nut rolls too. All you have to do is this:
1. use the same recipe as the cinnamon rolls, but add some nuts to the filling;
2. opt for a slightly different shape, by putting the rolls in 2 buttered/sugared pans 8 inches square, instead of lining them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Et voila', le tour est joue'!
pecan nut rolls
(Tassajara Bread Book, p.57)
The dough
I. 1 cup lukewarm water
3 1/2 ts dry yeast (about 1 1/2 packet)
3 tbs honey or sugar
1/3 cup dry milk
1 egg
1 1/2 cups unbleached white or whole wheat flour
II. 3 tbs butter or oil
1 1/4 ts salt
1 cup sifted flour: unbleached white or whole wheat flour or your choice
1/2 to 3/4 cup wheat flour for kneading
The procedure is the same as for the Tassajara Yeasted Bread, except for some different rising times.
1. Dissolve yeast in water.
2. Stir in sweetening and dry milk. Stir in egg. (Thorough mixing at this point is not essential)
3. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of wheat flour until a thick batter forms, and then beat well with a spoon (about 100 strokes)
4. Let rise 30 minutes.
5. Fold in butter (or oil) and salt.
6. Fold in the one cup flour until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.
7. Knead on a floured board, using more flour (approximatley 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on what other flours you used) as needed to keep the dough from sticking to th eboard and your hands. Knead 5 to 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and does not readily tear.
8. Let rise 40 minutes
The filling
1/4 cup softened or melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbs or more cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
+ 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts or other nuts)
1. Prepare the dough. After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured board in a rectangle 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. Spred on the softened butter or brush the melted butter.
2. Sprinkle on the brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans
3. Starting at one edge, roll up the dough fairly tight as you would a carpet. Cut the roll in sections about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
4. Dot the bottom of each pan with 3 tbs butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar, along with an additional 1/4 cup pecans. Place the cut rolls next to each other on top of this mixture.
5. Let rise for 20-30 minutes and bake at 350F for about 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Fidel Castro Reported Dead
UPDATE 07/24/2007: Again rumors that Castro is dead. Go here for latest update: Castro dead, South Florida on high alert.
UPDATE: 12/12/2006: Rumors, once again, flying that Castro is dead. Update here, but if it is confirmed try the MAIN PAGE.
UPDATE 8/02/2006: Rumors that Fidel Castro is dead are flying again. This time I have more than one source making the claim.
Again, no confirmation. We know he is very sick, but that is it. When we finally get confirmation of his death (God speed the day) we will post in on the FRONT PAGE.
UPDATE 7/11/2006: Rumors that Castro is dead are making the rounds again. Still no confirmation. Please see this post for latest details about Castro death rumor or go to MAIN PAGE HERE.
Rumors have begun circulating in Spanish language publications that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has died. Cuban officials are denying the reports. Developing....
UPDATE: Okay, so the consensus is that those reports were wrong. Hey, a guy can dream, can't he? Plus, how often do you get to read a story where the translation talks about Fidel being castrated? Anyway, Gringo unleashed has a cleaner translation, with far fewer references to castration than Google's.
Here is a very rough Google translation from an Argentinian Indymedia:
The dictator Fidel Castro dies in Havana.Via Robb who heard it from Publius Pundit who has a bottle of Champagne just waiting for the moment--now or in the future--that Castro's death is confirmed.
May 29th, 10:22 P.M.
This afternoon, the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro died in his residence of the Laguito longevo .
According to sources officials the Cuban dictator I have not been castrating for some days was in delicate state of health after to have undergone a sudden infarct.
Official sources of the government, the dictator's brother Raul Castro, and stops leaders of the regime have not even wanted to notify to the Cuban town, awaiting an international reaction.
Update: JJ points out that Val at Babalu Blog doesn't buy it. False alarm, maybe?

imho the ptfe powercordz liner for nokon is better than than the nokon one, it has a bit more clearance, certainly seems smoother running
i use nokon+powercordz (with sram red), it's just so much better than the gore ride-on i had before, the powercordz do not stretch, so changes are really snappy, brake feel is good too, and then there's the weight saving as well
i ride year-round, all weathers except ice, i don't use any lube, don't run full length liner, i've had no problems with powercordz sticking, no excess friction
the install takes a little extra planning/care to get the best results - the first time i did it i made the outers much too long, with powercordz you can go much tighter
this post shows my install...

It's that time of year again, when Rollercoaster mingle with wedding suppliers and guests at the local wedding venue open days. We rarely play gigs that are open to the public, so the next best thing – for those of you who haven't seen the band at previous weddings and events – is to come and chat to the band in person… and get a feel for who we are!
We only attend shows at the local venues where we have played (and continue to play), such as Gate Street Barn, Bury Court Barn, Ramster… and we can happily recommend these venues to any prospective clients.
Up and coming venue open days are:
Date: Sunday 11th January
Event / Venue: Gate Street Barn Open Day, Bramley, Guildford
Times: 9.30am-4pm
Date: Sunday 1st Feb
Event / Venue: Ramster Open Day, Ramster, Chidingfold

Obsession is the forty-fourth chapter of the Vampire Knight manga.
On cover: Zero Kiryu, Yuki Kuran, and Kaname Kuran
Title is in reference to the attachment Zero has to Yuki and how alike in their attachment that Kaname shares with Rido, how ugly it is that they hold on even when there is little to cling to.
Kaname Kuran walks away from the council building contemplatively. Blood tendrils follow him. He talks to Rido, saying how they are alike, talking about an attachment that refuses to disappear even when there is no hope.
Zero Kiryu begins to feel the pressure and his gun starts to feel heavy. He reiterates his desire to end it all, but he hesitates because of his attachment to Yuki Kuran. Scenes of Yuki's past expressions go through his mind. He struggles to ignore them. Zero's memories continue from previous flashbacks in chapter 12.
Yuki holds Zero's arm and comforts him after she finds him clawing at his neck, asking him not to hurt himself. Zero wonders why she is crying and finds it annoying. He acquiesces to Yuki's request, but mentally decides to simply hide it from her next time.
Zero's sleep is troubled. He's calling out his brother's name before awakening with a start. He has an annoyed expression on his face as he calls out to Yuki. He asks her to tell him how long she plans to stay outside his door, and tells her to return to her room. Yuki's footsteps are heard rushing back to her room and she slams her door shut. A few minutes later her footsteps are heard again and she opens Zero's door. She apologies for entering, but expresses concern that she could hear him not sleeping well, she asks if she can come in. Zero sits up and tells her she is free to enter because its her house and thinks about how he doesn't care about anything. Zero turns back to sleep, his mind can only focus is holding on and not losing his sanity. He holds his face in his arms when Yuki places her hand on his head to her surprise. He looks at her from the corner of his eye, she promises to stay there like that until he falls asleep. She sits on the bed beside him, telling Zero how she also once had troubles with her sleep and thanks to a certain someone with very gentle hands patting her on the head, she could fall asleep. Zero turns to look at her, his cynicism is gone from his expression. She tells him it will be ok and he starts to fall asleep, focusing on the warmth of her hands, how they kept him from sinking, he tells her she doesn't have to call him "~kun" anymore.
Yuki is patted on the head by the gentle hands she spoke of. She has a happy smile upon her face. She tugs Kaname by the arm mentioning something she wanted to tell him. Zero gets a shock as he realises the newcomer is a pureblood vampire and that Yuki is in love with him.
Zero reminds Yuki that he doesn't want her to touch him with hands that touched Kaname. Yuki stands at the door with new bandages, she apologises and asks him to change his bandages. He snaps at her and tells her to leave. He wonders why he is so angry. He begins changing his bandage while wondering if its because another pureblood turned up in front of him, or if its because Kaname might have been the one who taught Yuki to be so kind and gentle, his third thought is interrupted when he notices that though he normally heals fast, the speed at which he heals now is vampire like, he scratches at his neck again and punches the mirror. Yuki comes in concerned, she calls his name but he ignores her. His hand is bloodied as he leans into the broken mirror. Yuki tells him to stop and pulls his arm off the mirror, noticing his cuts. He yanks his arm away from her, yelling at her not to touch him. Yuki holds her hand, blood dripping from a cut she received from embedded glass in his hand. Zero stares at her wide-eyed. His heart beats loudly as he watches the blood. He puts his face in his hand as he asks Yuki to get the chairman for him.
Later Zero is carrying out the mirror, he leans his head against the mirror again, thinking about what happened when he saw her blood. He had felt thirsty, realises that her blood smelled different from his or Kaname's, her blood had smelled good to him. He faced the reality that he was no longer a human. The Chairman calls his name, Zero tells him he needs to become stronger so that he will not lose to the vampires...or himself.
Zero watches Yuki at the dining table, leaning on the table with her head resting in her arms sleeping. She wakens realising she fell asleep. Zero thinks she doesn't get enough sleep, because instead she comes to take care of him every night. Yuki asks if he is ok. He apologises for her hand. She tells him it was nothing and not to worry about it. She tells him she is happy that he is calmer now and lets slip that he scared her a little. He apologises, his eyes sadder now. Yuki is silent for a moment and looks away, she tells him not to be sorry and apologises and explains about the vampire who attacked her long ago. Zero tries to tell her he is a vampire too and his words fade away. Yuki tells him she realised that he must have lived through some scary things too related to vampires and that he mustn't want to hear anything from her, who is close to one. In his mind he vehemently denies that, but verbally does not respond. Yuki tries to take his hand, he roughly pulls his hand away and tells her not to touch him, thinking that he will eventually become a scary vampire like the one she remembers. Yuki looks sad. She lunges for him, he yells at her not to touch him, but she pulls him into a hug. He realises he is scared. Yuki tells him it will be ok, that if he has a safe place he can go, then he will be ok even when scary things happen, so he doesn't have to be afraid any longer.
Flashback of Zero's bite as he thinks about the day he dreads arriving. He remembers Yuki pledging to be on his side, while hugging him. He finds the arms that he has no right to seek, keep him from leaving, reflecting that he feels so safe in her arms its almost cruel. Yuki's gaze, unwavering and sincere, it always gives him strength.
Zero back to the present still points the gun at her and she holds her Artemis. Yuki still holds the same sincere and unwavering gaze upon him. He looks away and grits his teeth, asking why she doesn't move. He yells that he wouldn't mind if she killed him here. He sees Ichiru in his mind, telling him to live on and fulfil his goal. The chapter leaves Zero's thoughts unfinished as he begins to wonder something about the both of them.

I'm on the Medifast® program. It's no big secret. I started six days ago, and I already feel better – less "bulky".
I have found some foods that I like and some foods that I like only after they have been "doctored" up a bit. One of the foods that didn't really excite me much either way was the Sloppy Joe meal. I ordered two boxes with my first shipment, and I was wondering what I was going to do with all of those packets… until today.
I'd noticed that a lot of the Medifast and Take Shape For Life (TSFL) recipes that I had seen online called for various different types of The Laughing Cow spreadable cheese wedges. I love Laughing Cow cheese and was excited to see that the light varieties are allowed on my program.
While out shopping yesterday, I picked up a package of Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese wedges. This morning, I brainstormed about how to use a wedge in my lunch.
Enter: "Sloppy Joe" meal!
Medifast compliant Cheesy Sloppy Joe Celery Boats – Created by Me
1 Medifast® Sloppy Joe packet + 1/4 c. water
1 Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle spreadable cheese wedge
3 celery stalks
1 drop of Wright's Liquid Smoke
Sprinkle of your choice of scallions, tomato bits and/or jalapeno pieces
164 calories (not including the sprinkling of veggies) – Counts as: 1 Medifast Meal, 1 Condiment and 1 Optional Snack
First, I soaked the mix in water for about an hour before I cooked it. This isn't really part of the recipe, but it helps with the texture of the meal.
Secondly, I cooked my Sloppy Joe mix as directed on the packet.
Next, I added in a few little tidbits from my pre-sorted "greens" that will primarily be used for my Lean & Green meal this evening. One of my half cup containers holds chopped scallions and one holds a combination of jalapenos and tomatoes (about a quarter cup each). I added a few little pieces of each to my Sloppy Joe meal. I also added one wedge of the Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese wedges. Then, I added a drop of Wright's Liquid Smoke and mixed it all together.
Next, I washed three stalks of celery and cut each into thirds (for a total of nine "boats"). Into these celery pieces, I scooped the Sloppy Joe mixture. Once the celery pieces were filled and placed on a plate, it was time to eat!

I suppose there's no one alive who hasn't experienced a season of heartbreak at some point. Isn't it a universal part of each human tapestry? Every person who has loved deeply has had to cope with loss. It might not be as traumatic as losing a child or experiencing divorce. It could be something as natural as losing an aged parent or parting with your adult children when they move out of your home for the joy of marriage, or to transfer locations in order to further their career.
Although Mark Karris's book focuses mainly on the issues facing those who've experienced the heartache of a major breakup, the strategies for grieving well and overcoming heartache are helpful for anyone who's feeling the pain of loss—or even for those of us trying to prepare for the inevitable future as we see loved ones (and ourselves!) aging. Mark's objective was to "provide a powerful, life-giving resource that will help you not only survive your season of grief but also thrive and be transformed." That, I thought, was a very lofty goal, and personally I felt he succeeded, at least in how his book impacted my life.
But, Mark was even more ambitious that that! He also aspired to finding "powerful practices to help me embrace grieving as a liberating spiritual discipline." Wow! Come again? Is that possible? Actually, by the time I finished the book, I understood what he meant. I can't say that I'm free from heartache as a result of being liberated by developing appropriate spiritual disciplines to deal with grief, but I can say that I understand the many principles and practices he taught, and it's helped me explore areas of grief that were hidden in the crevices of my heart, forgotten but unhealed because I never knew what to do with them!
I intend to keep my copy of Season of Heartbreak as a reference book, knowing that in the years ahead I will inevitably experience my own intense seasons of grief, either as I pass through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, or as I watch loved ones passing on from this life to the next. However, I'm willing to lend you my copy if you'll promise to return it! Otherwise, it's available on Amazon, although if you're willing to buy it from Kregel Publishers directly, then they don't have to pay a commission to Amazon. The link is:
If you've experienced heartache and never really addressed it, or if you're still actively feeling the sting of pain from the loss of love, please consider reading Mark's book. As a family advocacy and support specialist for the United States Navy as well as an ordained pastor and licensed marriage and family therapist, Mark Karris has a wealth of experience in identifying the issues, and he's done a masterful job of teaching strategies for coping and overcoming. He has insightful chapters with provocative titles like "In Need of Story Catchers," "Forgive to Live," "Holy Huddle," and "A Theology of Suffering." And…about a dozen more!
In ostensible theory, I chose this book because I have over a thousand young adults who follow my blog, and I thought it might be helpful for them. In experiential reality, the book opened my heart to some buried, unhealed griefs and helped me in my own spiritual journey. If you have a heart that's still beating, it's a worthy read!
"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3).

Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway And JPMorgan Chase Launch New Health Care Company
Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway And JPMorgan Chase Launch New Health Care Company
Those who drink 3 to 4 times per week may have a lower risk of diabetes:
From the NY Times:
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of people nationwide, including dozens of doctors, have been charged in health care fraud prosecutions, accused of collectively defrauding the government of about $1.3 billion, the Justice Department said on Thursday.
John Oliver bought $15 in medical debt and then forgave the patient's debt.
Provider false claims highlight: In a decision affecting Medicaid and potentially Medicare healthcare providers, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that federal False Claims Act liability applies to providers that do not repay "identified overpayments" within 60 days of "when a provider is put on notice of a potential overpayment, rather than the moment when an overpayment is conclusively ascertained." The case is: U.S. ex rel. Kane v. Continuum Health Partners, et al.
Foot pain and heel pain may be caused by several things; one common diagnosis is plantar fasciitis. In a recent conversation with a podiatrist about foot pain the following was suggested. First, wear a supportive shoe. Sneakers are often recommended and the following brands are preferred as they provide superior support:
• Asics
• Brooks
• New Balance
• Saucony
While custom orthotics is preferred, additional support may be obtained by the use of over-the-counter orthotics. Recommended types include:
• Pure Stride (www.purestride.com)
• Powerstep (www.powersteps.com)
Going outside the United States on vacation? What about your medical bills if you get ill?
Start-up companies are innovators and some start-up companies are applying the Uber model to healthcare. Have your doctor come to you:
The cost of providing care for inmates is increasing. Clark County Sheriff's county in spent more than $347,000 in 2014 on care. That rate continue to increase…
Bicycling results in more emergency room admissions for children ages 5 to 14 than any other sport. Helmets can reduce head injuries by 88%, but less than 50% of children wear bicycle helmets.
It is well known that fingerprints and ears are unique to each person. But did you know that humans all have unique tongue print?
For a man in San Diego, getting bitten by a rattlesnake was just the beginning of his problems. The life-threatening encounter was followed by a shocking medical bill: $153,000 for his treatment.

In 1777, the frontier 100 miles north of Albany was only crossed in five places by wagon roads, which limited Baum's choice of route. The Continental Road had been built the previous year by the American Rebels, and was probably typical eighteenth century road construction. They avoided the wet lowlands as well as steep slopes and cut the trees, but probably left many stumps and large rocks -- similar to what we would consider today as a wide hiking trail. The condition of the road was always rutted and variable, in inclement weather the roads nearly impassable. Baum and his troops proceeded along the Continental Road the morning of August 13th.

This four-hour ritual will imprison the Conservator of Amative Coupling in eldritch matrimony with the Sorcerer. The Sorcerer must perform the ritual at a restaurant of no less than 4 stars. The Sorcerer must feast with the Conservator on at least 1,000 gp worth of food and a bottle of wine aged no less than 10 years. The Sorcerer must make small talk with the Conservator, meeting its withering gaze and avoiding any possible glimpse at the cleavage of the waitress at all costs, or else be banished to the Void of Endless Self-Abuse. At the conclusion of the ritual, the Sorcerer must place a diamond ring worth at least 10,000 gp on the finger of the Conservator while kneeling on one knee in front of a captive audience of 30 or more people of any color. The Conservator will then be imprisoned within the byzantine legal process of marriage, through which it will wander for 1d100 years before escaping with Joseph the Pool Boy from Beyond Space and Time.
Happy Valentine's Day to my perfect (and very understanding) wife!

X40s at Oman: Final Day, Rotschild 1st, Artemis 2nd
Watch out with Terry (quick learner almost grabing 1st place on first try) and the Artemis team for AC34, with a 1st class sailor like Hutchinson, plus Santi Lange and Juan K designing of course they are my bet to beat Oracle. Glenn Ashby and his new protege/alumni, A-Class ace also on 1st attempt, Dean Barker were 4th.
Media release www.extremesailingseries.com
"Final race decider as French team clinch Act 1 victory in Oman It was what has become a classic Extreme Sailing Series™ finish to Act 1 at The Wave, Muscat, Oman. The all-French team of Groupe Edmond de Rothschild clinched victory in the final double points race at the end of an astonishing 32 races over 5 days. "I didn't know what to expect in terms of emotion in the case of victory, I didn't have time to digest it as my crew threw me in the water," said an emotional Pierre Pennec who was in tears at the finish. "I am very
emotional as it's a lot of work, a lot of personal investment. It's a long time now that I wanted to drive an Extreme 40, and winning ahead of all these champions, it's amazing."
Terry commented: "It's good to see that all our hard work since the end of 2010 has paid off but there is still much room for us to improve. We're having a little bit of a crew rotation for Act 2 in Qingdao, so there will be
lots of work to do". Act 2 of the Extreme Sailing Series will be staged between the 15th to 17th April in Qingdao, China, preceded by two openwater racing days.
Dean Barker's Emirates Team New Zealand had a big comeback in the second half of the Act to finish in 4th place overall, beating Italy's Luna Rossa by 2 points. Max Sirena's Luna Rossa team that includes Britain's
Paul Campbell-James, defending 2010 Extreme Sailing Series skipper, struggled with consistency but seven first places over the five days including a win in the double-points final race ensured they kept the chasing Alinghi team at bay".

TNC Maps website
The Nature Conservancy, 2011
The TNC Maps site provides GIS data and interactive web maps related The Nature Conservancy's work throughout the world.
The previous version of the site started as a place to share some quick download links for staff and partners, but with the addition of new datasets and maps, it grew overwhelming quickly. While I was on the phone chatting with Data Management Specialist Jon Fisher, I found myself volunteering to redesign the site. Somehow I seem to always volunteer away my free time on projects like this, but it turned out to be a lot of fun working with Jon.
I focused on a couple goals with the site redesign, mostly related to simplifying the user experience. One goal was to improve the site's navigation, and make it immediately apparent what the site has to offer: GIS data and maps. Working with Jon, I also significantly streamlined the site's copy, so users don't get hit with a wall of words. Finally, I simplified and organized GIS download options, so beginner/intermediate users could find what they need easier.
Technical details: Like the Madrean Conference site I just completed, the TNC Maps site is pretty simple technically - 4 HTML pages, 1 CSS framework, and no CMS backend. I once again used the responsive CSS framework Skeleton to make the site easier to read and navigate on all devices.
What others are saying—unsolicited feedback I've received about the site
Been meaning to drop you a line letting you know how much I like maps.tnc.org and your use of forward-thinking design principles. - Kyle B., TNC
Just saw the new Maps.tnc.org...looks fantastic! Huge improvement! - Andrew C., TNC
What a great looking website.. Kudos to Dan Majka and the CDIS team! - Rachel R., TNC
Very nice. I love it. You guys do such good work. It is a very simple and easy to navigate site and looks sharp. I like the design. I will definitely bookmark and share with staff once it goes live next week. Thanks for sharing! - Erica S., TNC

What would Halloween be without ghosts and demons? It would be pretty boring, that's what it would be.
You can perform your own little summoning ritual at your Halloween party. Your guests will get a kick out of it, and you can also use the opportunity to scare the pants of them.
I won't be describing any rituals here. You can google them and pick one that you like, or you could just use your imagination. It's up to you. Whatever you decide, here are a few things that you absolutely have to use:

A new way to help support horse racing, support them after racing.
Remember Me Rescue is inviting everyone to join our team, TEAM RESTART. Team Restart has been formed to support the ever growing number of retired racehorses looking for homes when their careers at the track are over. Whether it is the end of a wonderful racing career or a injury that caused an unexpected end to racing Remember Me Rescue welcomes them all.
Unlike many rehoming programs Remember Me Rescue has a rehabilitation and retraining program developed by Dallas and Donna Keen to 'undo' the racetrack behaviors and instill a new beginning and one on one relationship with retired racehorses. Many of the horses that graduate from the RMR program have gone on to be mounted police horses, do search and rescue, or be awesome trail mounts with the thorough training they receive at Remember Me.
Our new TEAM RESTART program will allow horse lovers and racing fans a way to participate by sharing some of the financial responsibility on a small level. A gift of $10 a month buys a bag of feed that will feed a healthy horse for about 4 days. A $25 a month gift can pay for up to 5 bags of bedding for horse stalls. A $100 a month gift can feed, hay, and provide bedding for a horse in our program for up to 8 days. Most of the rehabilitation and retraining is done by volunteers or Dallas and Donna Keen personally to keep the programs costs to a minimum but veterinary and farrier expenses are on the shoulders of our supporters.
Please consider being a part our our team and join TEAM RESTART today. We need your assistance to keep our program actively working for the thoroughbred industry.

Everything You Need
2 Peter 1 & 2
2 Peter 1:3, "By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for life and godliness. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence." (NLT)
Too much. There's too much in these two chapters for just one post. But for my current purpose I will not slow my pace of one chapter per day. Tomorrow I will move on to chapter 3.
Peter. The man who denied Christ three times and was three times restored. The man who ran into the tomb after the resurrection. The man who swung the sword at the head of the Temple Guard on the night Jesus was betrayed. The man who declared, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God." And only moments later began correcting Jesus for teaching something he disagreed with. Jesus turns to Peter and responds, "Get behind me Satan." Peter was on the mountain when Christ revealed his heavenly glory. In that moment Peter heard the voice of God. He was uneducated. He was a businessman, family man. He worked hard. And he was a follower of God.
I think Peter is a lot like you and me. When I read his story there are times I think of him as a spiritual manic depressive. When he's on, he's really on. When he's off, he's way off. I'll bet you've struggled like that as well. You have moments of glory followed by seasons of distraction. You may trust God for your eternal life, but you have a hard time trusting him with matters of your daily life. You know enough about what means to be a God-follower that you understand that you want in, but haven't yet figured out how all that applies to the everyday struggles of the daily grind.
2 Peter 1:3 says it – God's divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. God can be trusted – to save, to provide, to teach, to guide. You can trust Him to lead you through and go with you. You are not alone. And the one who goes with you is the Creator and controller of everything!
Verse 8 is remarkable as well. "The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." Peter gives us a list of attributes to cultivate, goals to pursue, qualities of character to practice, and then tells us that practicing these things will make knowing Christ productive and us useful in his kingdom.
How's your trust? Do you struggle to trust God for the issues of daily life? 2 Peter 1 gives us several practices to help us grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. These aren't things we do to earn the favor of God. They are things we do because of the favor of God. They deepen our relationship with him and give us a firm foundation on which to build a life.
If practice is the systematic process of overcoming a series of small failures which virtue should you practice today? God has given you everything you need for life and godliness. Through him you can become more than you ever imagined.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for saving me. Thank you for giving me everything I need for life and godliness. Today, help me practice the virtues listed in 2 Peter 1. Lead me and give me the knowledge, will and strength to follow you. I want to be useful in your kingdom, to my family, with my coworkers and for your glory.
I love you, in Jesus name –
BTW…because of the weekend you may have missed my last couple of devo's. Click to catch First Things First and Back Stage Pass.

Pictures: Deadly early lessons of the Civil War play out in July 1861 skirmishes on Cedar Lane in Newport News
Two new Civil War Trails markers have been erected near the east and west ends of Cedar Lane near Warwick Blvd. in Newport News, where in July 1861 two early skirmishes resulted in the milestone death of the first Confederate field-grade officer, several other Union fatalities and the capture of a dozen Federal soldiers. -- Mark St. John Erickson

People driving or walking around Brand Boulevard and Broadway in downtown Glendale are seeing something unusual — a giant green cube on the southwest corner of the intersection.
The exterior of the building where a Bloomingdale's store is being built is covered with a green mesh fabric to prevent dust and debris from leaving the construction area and falling onto pedestrians and passing vehicles, according to Shoshana Puccia, senior marketing manager for the Galleria.
The department store, which is slated for an autumn opening, is moving into the Galleria in the former Mervyn's site.
The 120,000-square-foot Bloomingdale's will be the company's eighth store in Southern California.

fiat3.jpgI got a letter of the Fiat dealers saying my car was getting recalled,so while i was dropping it off i noticed a sign saying AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE 25 POUND.I've only had the car since January so as you can imagine,we haven't had many hot days so i never realised the air con wasn't working,so coming up to our warmest part of the year i asked the guy "you know that air con service,would i have to book it in or could you do it while its here now"" we could have a look at it now if you like,isn't it working?" so i tell him i haven't had the car long and we don't get much warm weather so and so,so then he tells me "That 25 pound service is phase 1 for air con that's working and needs minor adjustments,you'll need phase 2,where we empty the old cooling gas's and replace them and that's 75 pound" so i reluctantly tell him to go ahead with the job,so when i get home i get a phone call,"Mr Ledwidge,we've found the problem with your air con,it's a broken pipe,would you like a price on that pipe sir" "go ed" "let me see the pipe is 85 pound plus vat then you've got the 75 servicing charge " so i say "listen forget it mate,whats that pipe made out of? gold,I'll open a window instead"so the guy seamed a bit put out that i didn't want it fixing (not at that price anyway) so next he tells me "we've also noticed that your indicators are flashing white instead of orange and that will be 108 pounds to correct" "and what does that entail "i ask? "we take out all the old bulbs and replace them with new ones,the side ones can be tricky to get out and sometimes you have to take the headlights out to do the front"………………..108 pounds………………to change 6 bulbs………..that would cost…………….3 pound at the most…………….he was having a laugh……"listen mate"i tell him "don't you worry about that,I'm more than capable of changing a few bulbs"…………………."ow,so you just want the recall job doing" "if you don't mind". So later on i go to pick the car up and they start again"your back box is very corroded,you know sir" "ye i know,that's what happens to exhaust pipes they rust away,get a hole in them,then you go and get another fitted"…………………..So all this made me think,if it was a woman who knew nothing about cars went in,she would be looking at a bill of about 500 pound,was there really a recall or is this just a big con to get you to take your car in so they can rip you off big time?

Wellington's Emma Smith one of 'unsung heroes' to receive honours
A corrective services officer who spent a decade at Wellington Correctional Centre before moving to the nearby Macquarie Correctional Centre to get it running has been recognised in the Queens Birthday Honours.
Senior Assistant Superintendent Emma Smith has received the Australian Corrections Medal for her 17 years of service to date with Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW), 11 of which have been at Wellington.
Ms Smith joined CSNSW as a trainee correctional officer in 2000, and has risen through the ranks to be part of the frontline management at Macquarie, one of the state's newest correctional facilities.
Throughout her 17-year career with CSNSW, Ms Smith has proven herself to be a dedicated officer who has consistently demonstrated professional and exemplary behaviour in difficult and confrontational workplaces.
Ms Smith said she was both shocked and honoured by the award.
"I work as part of a team. Anything I achieve is because I work with such amazing people. It just makes my job so much easier," she said.
Minister for Corrections David Elliott congratulated Ms Smith and four other CSNSW officers for their awards.
"These exceptional officers have gone above and beyond in rehabilitating offenders and keeping the community safe. They are our community's unsung heroes," he said.
Ms Smith was first appointed to the role of correctional officer at the maximum-security John Morony Correctional Centre, which houses over 400 male inmates.
In 2001, she transferred to the Downing Centre Court Complex in Central Sydney - a crowded and hostile environment with a high degree of confrontation, due to many offenders being affected by illicit substances and suffering mental health issues.
In 2004, Ms Smith was promoted to Senior Correctional Officer at Oberon Correctional Centre, before transferring to Mid North Coast Correctional Centre, in a team responsible for 650 inmates.
She was promoted to Chief Correctional Officer at Wellington Correctional Centre in 2007, working in the intelligence officer role and acting as a positive role model to junior staff.
In 2017, she was promoted to the frontline management, and with her leadership the centre began operational status in a short period of time, without serious incident.
