"The United States is competing in a global race for the clean energy jobs of the future," says Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
"The choice we face as a nation is simple: do we want the clean energy technologies of tomorrow to be invented in America by American innovators, made by American workers and sold around the world, or do we want to concede those jobs to our competitors? We can and must compete for those jobs. This budget request includes responsible investments in an American economy that is built to last."
In a White House blog, Ginny Simmons summarises what the budget means for DoE:

venting, need support
I'm really upset...I just want my boyfriend back. I feel like I came so close to losing him to death, only to have him taken away by his mother. He was the loud obnoxious type of guy. The type of guy I used to have to keep in check..not the type to blow kisses to his mommy. I don't understand why she is trying to change him while he's in this state. Saying that she will change his personality because he won't know the difference. Saying that he used to be too fat, and saying it right in front of him like he can't hear. Her throwing out all of his works clothes, that he used to work on his cars in, because she says that he ought to be the suit and tie type. I just keep hoping that when he gets to a certain point that he will just come to a revelation or something. That he will say "hey mom, I don't want to live with you, I want to go home with Katie...where I was before and where I always will be. I remember how you used to treat me, I know that you stole my money while I was in a coma and that you are having the government pay you to be here. You can stop acting now." I just keep praying and hoping that by sticking by him, he has to become well enough to be a regular couple again. I'm doing right by him....I'm the only one doing right by him. I deserve it. Ya know what I mean. If there's any justice, it will work out, and karma will bite his family in the butt. He doesn't deserve this either. He's been through hell. They shouldn't get the chance to put him through anymore. His brother, who should feel guilty for giving him access to the motorcycle, even complains when asked to help get him in and out of the wheelchair. Well he wouldnt be in the wheelchair if his brother had used better judgement. And his stepdad yells at him to pay attention! You can't yell at someone with a TBI, especially when you used to abuse that person when they were a little kid. And I swear if his mother asks him "Did you poopie in your diaper?" one more time I'm gonna scream! He's 20 years old....they're briefs, not a diaper. And he didn't poopie, he went to the bathroom. It is so humiliating to him. She even forbade me from coming to see him once because she got mad when I question how he fell out of his wheelchair when she was taking care of him. I'm so angry and so sad. I miss him. I miss waking up next to him and falling asleep next to him. I miss making love to him. I miss talking about our future. I miss making meals for him. I miss him being loud and obnoxious. Just why God why?? I'm so thankful that he;s alive. I'll love him no matter what, and take him however he comes, accept him however he comes. But our plans of living together, being together can't happen because this lady all the sudden wants to be a part of his life. This just occupies my mind all the time...depresses me to the point I just don't know what to do. Do I get up everyday and keep going in hopes that it will work out? My only reason to go on is the hope that we will be together again. He needs me. He lights up when he sees me. I guess that's enough to keep going. Sorry for the rant, I just had to get it out....
I've called adult protective services on his mother for her stealing his money, belittling him, and suspected abuse. They couldnt do anything. The nursing home had her arrested once. There's just nothing else I can do about her. I've tried ya'll, to protect him. Honestly, I just want what's best. And I don't have a wife's rights. The social workers just say I have to wait for him to "wake up." I just need help coping....

Oh brother Katie. What a mess. It is too bad you hadn't married--but I am sure you have thought that over and over. He really does get embarassed about the poopie stuff? I know he does or you wouldn't have said it. I guess I didn't realize he had that awareness. It is like they want to chase you out. Make it impossible for YOU to see him as a romantic partner. Make him seem like "a buffoon" and I am sure you know I mean that kindly. But that is what these people sound like they would do. They have the sensitivity of an almond. Without any of the joy. What? Anyway. Is there no one there at the nursing home who can help to direct his TOTAL rehabilitation--including relationships and roles etc.? For example, those social workers could very well say we are concerned about blah blah blah and talk about the importance of his continuing to be treated as an adult. This is part of his rehabilitation. It is! If he were in the hospital there would probably be more resources. I am just very sorry. It is bad enough without these in-laws but with them? Dreadful!
Are they trying to get any money out of anyone concerning the accident? They sound the type.

KT - you are a wonderful young lady to stick by your boyfriend the way you have. I'm sorry his family is not caring for him properly. I wish I could offer you some advice but it sounds like you have already tried all the things I would suggest.
Hang in there. I will pray that he gets well soon. You deserve to have him back.
Keep posting here. We'll help you get through this. :-)

That is heartbreaking. I admire you for hanging in there. Don't let his family drive you out.
KT, dang sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what you are going through. I also feel sorry for you boyfriend I can't imagine how demeaning this must be. Hey, we are here for you. I am praying for you...Keep your head up.
This sounds a bit like what I went through with my children, and I don't know what to tell you, but do your best to ignore the family, and foucs on your boyfriend. As long as you're with him, you give him a reason to keep trying to get better, and just to keep living.
I have been where you are right now and I feel your pain. I too got the shaft from the mother after being a caregiver in times of crisis and beyond. I still haven't completely gotten over it.
Send me a private message and I'll be glad to try and set up a way to chat or instant message with you.
Thank you all for your replies. I just feel so angry towards his family for causing him more pain. I wish that I could tune them out and not let them get to me so that I can focus on him, I guess that something I need to work on.

Only Time Will Tell
Harry Potter Fanfic
Chapter 1
The Day I Got My Letter
"Ugh...One sec, Dad!" I call, rolling out of bed and running my hands through my long black hair. My head is pounding from a hangover, and as I glance in the mirror on my way to the door, I am satisfied to see my make-up from the previous night smudged all around my eyes.
"KEYRA! Get your ass down here NOW!"
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sweet, angelic voice of my beloved father.
"I'm coming, Dad! Keep your pants on!"
I stumble at the top of the staircase, and grab onto the banister, thankful for the extra support. Suddenly,I feel hands around my waist, steadying me. I turn my head,and look at my butler.
"Thanks, Frueuff,"I sigh gratefully. He smiles wryly.
"It's not a problem, Miss Starr," he answers, "But maybe you shouldn't goas heavy on the drink next year." He winks. Like he doesn't know my problem. I can stop any time I want to, he knows that.
The problem is; I don't want to.
Frueuff turns and walks away, into my little brother's room to shake him gently awake. I sigh, and continue my way down the stairs.
"KEYRA STARR!" my charming father's voice booms thoughout the house. "COME DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT! OR ELSE!"
I roll my eyes, but don't bother answering. The kitchen door is mere feet away from me; why waste my breath? But the door flies open before I reach it, and the delightful, purple face of my dad appears in the frame. Lovely face to wake up to every morning. He strides out of the door, and grabs my arm. Pulling me fiercly, he shows me the state of the kitchen. I take it all in, and smile to myself. I am so very proud of my handiwork.
The kitchen floor is littered with broken glass, spilled drinks,and various foods dropped from plates now shattered and strew among the silverware. The fridge door is on the ground,and the shelves are wrapped up in the curtains. The dishwasher lies open, and instead of being stacked with plates, is covered in tomato ketchup, mustard, and something that looks suspiciously like a smashed computer. Amidst the glowing chandeliers, huge eyes of every colour stare out at us, glazed over and slightly cross eyed. The hands of several house-elves protrude out from the over-sized candles, clutching bottles of Butterbeer and Firewhisky. The tables are overturned and the chairs have completely disappeared; I happen to know that several are outside in the garden, a few made their way onto the roof, and the rest were shrunk down and pocketed by Mundungus Fletcher, who was thrown out soon afterwards for gatecrashing my birthday party.
My 16th birthday party.
My dad's eyes are bugging out of his head, bloodshot and huge.
Despite all of this, and my emanant punishment, I can't help admiring my handiwork.
"What," Dad hisses "Is the meaning of this?"
"Well," I explain patiently, as if talking to someone slightly intelligent (but only slightly), "You said I could have a party. Y'know. For my sixteenth birthday. Which is today. Thanks for saying Happy Birthday, by the way. I love you too."
Dad narrows his eyes and glares at me. I glare right back. Suddenly, a tawny owl swoops in, it's wings stretched wide. It drops a letter at my feet, and flies out again importantly. I reach down and pick it up, breaking the sealon the back, and pulling out two sheets of parchment. It reads:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

My mouth drops wide open in shock. My dad is looking at me sternly, still furious about the state I left the kitchen in, but I can sense the pride beneath it.
"I thought you said I wouldn't get in?" I accuse him.
"I didn't think you would," Dad answers shortly, "But Dumbledore must want to take you on...."
I look down at the letter again in shock. I had been going to Beauxbatons,but was expelled for reasons I would rather not say here. For my fifth year, I was transferred to Durmstrang. I wasn't popular with the teachers in the slightest, but the students loved me. I was the practical joker, the one who cheered everyone else up. But that didn't mean I loved my life. I declined into depression, and was found drinking several times during the school year. Eventually, Karkaroff was forced to let me go. What with my track record, it wasn't expected that I would be going back to school.But apparently,Dumbledore wants too take me in. No doubt he thinks he can 'help' me. But I don't need help. I can sort out my issues fine by myself. And thinking that, I get to work cleaning the kitchen of the mess I made, absent mindedly picking up an unopened bottle of Firewhiskey, and shivering with delight as it warmth fills me up from the inside.

Warriors star Marvelous Nakamba has given an insight of the mood in camp ahead of the Warriors' AFCON 2021 Group H qualfier against Botswana on Friday.
The 25-year-old Aston Villa midfielder, who joined camp today, spoke to the media at the team's traning session and highlighted that they are working extra hard in preparation for the clash with the Zebras.
"Everyone is training hard and giving everything, we are pushing each other and we are trying our best to give everything," said the soft spoken midfielder.
"It's a national team, every time we assemble we really try to do our best, there are many players who want to represent the country. We are here and we will give everything," Nakamba added.

A leaking roof is very problematic especially if it goes unnoticed for quite some time. It could damage the insides of the roof and other areas. It is important that when leaks on the roof are detected that it is resolved right away. Rainwater could pose a serious problem for your roof and your home in general. The attic and ceiling could be damaged as well as other components of your home. Water damage due to leaks could also be fire hazards if your home's wiring is breached. Here are some ways on how you could find out a roof leak and have it repaired as soon as possible.
Call a roofing contractor at the first sight of roof leaks
Look for missing shingles – the easiest way on how you could find potential places for roof leaks to occur is on areas with missing shingles. You don't need to climb up on top of your roof to find parts where the shingles are missing. You could simply grab a ladder and climb up to the roof level and start scanning from there. Repeat this process for other sections. If your home is two stories high, you might need to have a professional come over like Florence Roofing Experts to have a look.
Issues with flashing – the flashing is the metal parts of the roof that are installed on the joints. Again, you might need to hire a professional for this kind of job if your home is two stories high. If the flashing is loose or has holes, it could possibly lead to leaks. If the flashing is really damaged, roof repair will be necessary.
Ceiling problems – if the roof leaks have already gone through your attic and onto your ceiling, you would not of it. When the leak has been unnoticed for some time, it could allow water to simply pour in and pool in the attic, down to your ceiling. The effects will usually be visible. There will be distinct watermarks coupled with chipping paint or warping.
Presence of mold – there will be mold growth wherever there are leaks. The excess moisture can contribute to the growth of mold which could be damaging to both your roof and attic. It should be treated immediately and the leak fixed.
Call the experts for repairs
While it may be tempting for some homeowners to make DIY roof repairs, you should not attempt it at all. Do remember that roof repair involves working at heights. Some people get dizzy when standing on elevated places and your roof is definitely one of them. Another factor that leads you to hire a contractor for roof repair in Florence is safety. Working in high places can be dangerous. Falling off a roof with a height of 10 feet can cause severe injuries. Aside from that, working on a roof requires skill and training. You also don't want to damage your roof by fumbling around since you don't really know how to make repairs in the first place.
Call Florence Roofing Experts if you need professional help in inspecting, repairing, or installing a new roof.

Senators 5, Oilers 2
EDMONTON — The Ottawa Senators did the unthinkable Wednesday night.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Closing out the Western Canada portion of a five-game road trip, the Senators got great goaltending from Craig Anderson and timely goals to end their season-high five-game losing streak with a stunning 5-2 victory over Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the high-powered Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.
Tyler Ennis, who grew up in Edmonton, scored in a three-point effort and Connor Brown chipped in with a goal and an assist, while Vladislav Namestnikov, Anthony Duclair and Artem Anisimov also scored. Oscar Klefbom and Jujhar Khaira replied for the Oilers.
Anderson, back after missing a week with a lower-body injury, and the Senators moved their record to 4-0 in this building.
"It's the city, it's not just the building," Anderson said. "Patrick Roy told me one time he loved to go to San Jose because he never lost. I don't think that completely applies here because I'm not Patty Roy and this isn't San Jose, but every goalie has a team (they play against) and a building that they feel most comfortable in.
"There's no rhyme or reason, it's just the way things play out."
Mikko Koskinen started in goal for Edmonton, but he didn't finish after giving up three goals on 12 shots. Mike Smith finished the game, making a huge stop on Brady Tkachuk with 11:08 left when he thought he had scored during a scramble in front.
Duclair restored a two-goal lead with his 11th of the season only 90 seconds into the third period by tucking the puck past Smith to give Ottawa a 4-2 advantage and then Namestnikov put it away by giving Ottawa the three-goal lead at 11:47.
Ottawa coach D.J. Smith had no illusions about the challenge his club was facing. Nobody else has been able to shut down McDavid and Draisaitl so they knew it would be a difficult task.
"Always a little bit (of extra incentive)," Ennis said. "It's always fun coming home and playing. Everybody that goes and plays in their hometown, it's always fun because I've always got a lot of family and friends in the stands. It's my first time scoring against Edmonton so it's extra special."
Smith said that once the Senators started playing good defence, the offence was strong.
"Not a great start. Anderson was great and he held us in the game. We adjusted and found that speed in the second period," Smith said. "I thought we played some good defence that allowed us to get some offensive opportunities."
The Senators, picking up their play, pulled into a two-goal lead in the second period, but they allowed the Oilers to get off the mat and close to within 3-2 when Klefbom scored on the power play with 2:23.
Ottawa had pulled out to a 3-1 lead on the strength of Ennis' eighth of the season on a feed from Brown on a 2-on-1 at 11:42 that Koskinen had no chance on. Suddenly, the Oilers found themselves in a difficult spot with Ottawa taking the play to them. Smith took over after the third goal by the Senators because Edmonton coach Dave Tipppett had seen enough.
"Personally, I think I've had a ton of good looks and I haven't been finding the back of the net," Brown said. "Even finding that one goal re-energized me for the rest of the game."
Brown and Anisimov scored in a span of 12 seconds early in the second to give the Senators a stunning 2-1 lead after they had been completely outplayed by the Oilers earlier. Brown's first goal in 17 games through Koskinen's five hole at 5:27 ended a slump that dated back to Nov. 2 against Boston.
It was Anisimov who got the Senators on the board at 5:15 when he beat Koskinen on the short side from the doorstep just as an Ottawa power play expired. This was a total turnaround from the way the Senators had played in the first because they were skating hard and paying the price while trying to limit the Oilers' chances.
The first period wasn't pretty for the Senators and they didn't escape unscathed. Not only were they outshot 10-4 by the Oilers, Ottawa was trailing 1-0 on the scoreboard, but it would have been a lot worse had it not been for Anderson shutting the door and the fact the Oilers hit two posts on a power play midway through the period.
By the time Khaira opened the scoring for Edmonton at 14:09 of the first, the shots were 10-1 in favour of the Oilers. The goal came on a 2-on-0 that Anderson had zero chance of stopping. Khaira put it home to break the scoreless tie, the Senators challenged for offside and ended up with a delay-of-game penalty because it was ruled a good goal.
Give Smith credit because he didn't waste any time asking for the challenge and did it in about 26 seconds after Vancouver's Travis Green had taken a lengthy amount of time to make a decision Tuesday night in a third period on a goal that was eventually called back.
The Senators lost winger Nick Paul less than five minutes into the first period Wednesday. After laying on the ice briefly, he got up and went to the bench quickly after it appeared he took a hit to the chin from Edmonton's Josh Archibald in a collision. Paul, who suffered a neck strain, didn't return but he won't be out long.
Thursday morning, the Senators will head to Philadelphia and skate there Friday before closing out this trip against the Flyers Saturday at 1 p.m.

Today, I'd like to turn your attention away from my growing collection of soy sauce packets to a subject near and dear to all of us: algorithms. According to Merriam-Webster, an algorithm is
a procedure for solving a mathematical problem (as of finding the greatest common divisor) in a finite number of steps that frequently involves repetition of an operation; broadly : a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end especially by a computer
Algorithms are a key part of our lives. That computer, that software, that browser—algorithms helped determine many functions.
We like to figure things out, don't we? It's part of our human nature. But if a step-by-step formula exists to help us quickly gain the answers we seek, we want to implement it. We like labor-saving procedures that take us from point A to point B—a neat algorithm ala Euclid's algorithm.
This is often the case in the writing world. Writers avidly study other writers, particularly those deemed successful. We read their blogs, dissect their query letters, watch them being interviewed, or stalk their agents. We want to know how we, like them, can be successful in our chosen field. Okay, perhaps I shouldn't use the word we. I do that. Undoubtedly, you're secure in your awesomeness. But me? I want to know the algorithm.
As I mentioned in a post back in February, I read Avatar—The Last Airbender™: The Art of the Animated Series by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko the co-creators of the hit animated series Avatar—The Last Airbender™. I wanted a step-by-step process to writing a critically acclaimed series. Were there certain ingredients or procedures I could incorporate in my fantasy series? If I have A squared and add it to B squared, will that equal C squared (to borrow from the Pythagorean Theorem)—C squared being the elusive alchemy of a winning series?
If you read that post, you know the answer to that question. But I can offer the step-by-step process I determined to follow as I continue writing:
1. Just do it
2. Keep on doing it
3. Push past discouragement
4. Do it some more to the best of my ability.
Like it? Then make it your method. Just do it.

This can happen to any ego with random high/ability that already has a fixed high/ability. Currently, Angband has two more ego items impacted: Gondolin (free action + see invisible + random ability), and Lothlorien (free action + random ability).

Closing this, I believe that random_high_resist() now avoids existing resists, and get_new_attr() always did the right thing for abilities.

HIGHLIGHT's Lee Gikwang to enlist as conscripted policeman in April# K-POP 2019.01.29 View : 3302
On January 28, Around US Entertainment announced that Lee Gikwang will enter the army recruit training center on April 18. Upon completing 5 weeks of basic military training, he will be stationed at Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency.
Yang Yoseop, who enlist on January 24, will also be stationed at Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency, so it seems like the two will be serving together.
Like other members who have been called for duty, Gikwang will enlist quietly as his family and friends see him off without holding special events.
Yong Jun Hyung and Son Dong Woon are also planning to enlist in the military soon.

Drawing is my passion
I have advanced experience with graphics programs (raster, vector, and layout based).Typography has been a major focus in my education. I have taken all available type courses offered by San Diego State University. I am also skilled in traditional art media. My style has been described as whimsical, with emphasis on narrative. My strong drawing skill has the advantage of communicating clearly with clients in the early stages of a project. These skills made me an ideal choice to design and layout two books published through the university. These books were a joint project of the literature and art departments. In addition, I am currently illustrating a series of children's books entitled "The Bugtussle Bunch" published through Hover Enterprises. In 2011 I was chosen to win the Society of Illustrators scholarship by a juried panel in New York.

The interim prime minister Jan Fisher has been meeting with political leaders to try to reach agreement on the composition of his caretaker cabinet. The process of establishing an interim administration was derailed on Friday when the prime minister designate unexpectedly broke with an earlier political agreement and put forward his own candidates for three important ministerial posts. Leaders of the Civic Democrats, Social Democrats and the Greens have said they would not back such a cabinet and will now put forward other names for Mr. Fischer to consider. The Fisher cabinet was expected to take over on May 8th and lead the country to early elections in October. It is not clear if this unexpected hurdle will delay its appointment.
Outgoing Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek has urged senators to ratify the Lisbon reform treaty in a vote due on May 6th. Speaking in a TV debate, Mr. Topolánek said a failure to ratify the treaty could cause a major rift within the EU and serve as an excuse for some countries to halt further EU enlargement. He said the Czechs would find themselves side-lined and would find it hard to recover their lost credit. In his strongest endorsement of the treaty to date, the outgoing prime minister said that although he himself had some reservations about the treaty, it was vital to ratify it if the Czech Republic wanted to be a member of the European community. He called on senators who were reluctant to support the treaty to leave the assembly hall ahead of the vote. The treaty was approved by the lower house of Parliament in February.
Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso is expected to arrive in Prague late on Sunday ahead of an EU-Japanese summit chaired by the Czech EU presidency. The Japanese leader will on Monday meet with Czech President Václav Klaus and European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso ahead of a summit focusing on the global economy, climate change and security issues. On the security front, the Japanese prime minister is expected to seek European support for pressure on North Korea over its threat to conduct a second nuclear test unless the United Nations apologizes for condemning its recent rocket launch. The EU-Japanese summit will be chaired by President Václav Klaus.
Members of the Roma minority held peaceful demonstrations around the country on Sunday in protest against growing extremism in the Czech Republic. In the town of Chomutov the protest ended prematurely after it was attacked by right-wing extremists. The mass protests were sparked by a recent arson attack on a Romany family which left a two-year-old girl fighting for her life. The organizers of the first-ever nation-wide Romany protest say Sunday's gathering was contrived as a peaceful event but they will not hesitate to fight back if their lives are threatened by neo-Nazis. Romany vigilante groups are now operating in some parts of the country.
The Czech health authorities have so far ruled out 14 cases of suspected swine flu, thirty-eight more people are currently being tested. Among them are seven of 200 Czech tourists who returned home from Mexico on Sunday morning. Prague's Ruzyně Airport had doctors on standby and people returning from Mexico underwent thermal screening on arrival. One person suffering from a high fever was taken to Bulovka hospital, six others are in home isolation. Czech doctors currently have two million anti-viral drugs at their disposal, enough to treat a fifth of the population.
Five Czech hikers and one Slovak were killed in an avalanche near the ski resort of Soelden in the Austrian Alps at the weekend. Witnesses spotted the accident and alerted rescuers but they could not reach the scene until Sunday due to poor weather. A police official said rescuers had retrieved the bodies of six climbers who had been ascending the 3,500-metre peak in an isolated region southwest of Innsbruck. The only survivor was the seventh member of the group who had opted to remain behind in a hut as he was not feeling well.
An effort to curb the amount of flu medication sold over the counter had to be abandoned on Sunday after a new computer system collapsed in trial operation. According to an amendment to the law which took effect on May 1st, flu medicine containing pseudoefedrine such as Coldrex or Stopgrip, should only be sold to people in small amounts on the basis of a health insurance card and ID. The move is an attempt to curb abuse of the substance in the production of the illegal street drug pervitin. However the system collapsed within hours of being launched and in the face of growing complaints from the public pharmacies are once again selling flu medication without restriction.
Aside from the technical problems, the new law is controversial. It involves putting personal data into a central evidence system and some pharmacies have refused to use it for fear of violating the privacy law. The matter is being investigated by the Office for Protection of Private Data.
Czech Republic handed Slovakia their worst-ever defeat at the world ice hockey championship on Saturday by trouncing their neighbours 8-0. Jakub Klepis and Karel Rachunek had three assists while Jaromír Jagr scored twice in the most one-sided meeting in the history of Czech Republic-Slovakia matches. The team scored four goals in each of the first two periods before easing off in the third. The win took them into third place in Group F, ahead of Belarus on goal difference.
Czech Roman Kreuziger won the 157.5-km fourth stage of the Tour de Romandie on Saturday. Estonia's Rein Taaramae was second and Russia's Vladimir Karpets was third. Kreuziger also took the race leader's yellow jersey.
The warm spell is expected to end abruptly at the start of the week with rain in places and temperatures dropping to between 10 and 14 degrees for a couple of days.

Early one Sunday morning I called my girlfriend. She didn't answer the phone because she was eating cereal and didn't want it to get soggy. We talked after she ate. When you're a kid you don't care so much if your cereal's stale or soggy so long as it comes with a prize. As a kid I didn't care if the cereal was good for me so long as it had Tony the Tiger on the cereal box. Tony was great and if he told me Frosted Flakes was great, I believed him. I ate Life cereal because, Mikey (the kid, who didn't like anything, ate it) and I believed in Mikey.
No matter what type of cereal I eat, there has to be cold milk to go with it. There are two types of people when it comes to pouring milk into cereal. Type one: the all-at-once pourer, which describes me. I pour milk into my cereal and return the milk to the fridge. I stir my cereal so it's dampened with milk. Eating cereal like this leaves no time for idle chit-chat because if you engage in conversation cereal will become soggy.
Type two: the little-bit-at-a-time pourer, which is my husband. This method suits him since he spends an hour at the breakfast table. He pours a little bit of milk and eats a little bit of cereal as he reads the paper. When the milk supply is depleted he adds a little bit more milk and eats a little bit more cereal. For a man who attacks lunch and dinner meals like pit stops for fuel only and not enjoyment, I find it amazing he'll spend an hour with a bowl of cereal. Since he eats slowly and is a little-bit-at-a-time milk pourer, the milk is always warm by the time he's done.
The only thing worse than warm milk is curdled milk, which you find out is bad only after you've poured it into your bowl of cereal. Looking at chunks of milk floating on the top of your cereal is not a good start to the day. If that was the last of the milk then you have a decision to make – eat dry cereal or pancakes with syrup.
When it comes to eating pancakes with syrup there are two types of people: the one who pours the syrup all over their pancakes and the one who likes the syrup on the side for dipping their pancakes. In case you're wondering, my husband and I eat our pancakes much the same way we eat our cereal.

HARTFORD >> Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday his administration is working on a plan to help fund some programs in Connecticut affected by the partial federal government shutdown.
"It appears to me, if I had a bet, that they're not going to reopen the government," Malloy said.
The Democrat said he expects the state's contingency plan will be released in the "coming days," but warned that the state does not have an unlimited amount to spend.
The state so far has spent less than $900,000 on programs affected by the shutdown, mostly funds to keep a Bridgeport-area Head Start program open. Malloy said he spoke with federal officials to see if Connecticut will be reimbursed once a federal budget deal is reached, but no final decision has been made.
Malloy said he is concerned about federal funds not reaching "life-sustaining" services in Connecticut such as the Women, Infants and Children food program, funding for disabled veterans and additional Head Start programs. He said his office is communicating with social service providers that depend on federal funds to determine their financial situations.
"We cannot have pregnant women go without nourishment. We cannot have young children go without nourishment," he said. "That's a reality."
Malloy said he doesn't believe at this point that the state will need to borrow money to cover any funding shortages caused by the federal shutdown.

Archaeologists were called in to examine suspected human remains after work was halted on a new development during site preparation and grading.
Experts feared the remains might be those of a prehistoric civilization, thereby threatening further development of the master-planned 75,000-home development featuring cozy, intimate neighborhoods.
After exhaustive analysis and research, including carbon-dating of the remains, experts have concluded that the remains are those of a real estate market forecaster.

(JTA) — A Jewish mausoleum in western Ukraine burned down in what a human rights group said may have been an arson attack connected with a dispute over a commemoration project.
The gravesite of Hillel Lichtenstein, a 19th-century Jewish sage and former chief rabbi of Kolomyia, was partially destroyed last week in a fire that began in the early hours of the morning, according to a report published Monday by the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group.
The watchdog said the fire was the second arson within two months committed at the gravesite, which is located inside a sealed room at the center of a Kolomyia park that once was a Jewish cemetery. It caused extensive damage to the structure around the gravesite, consuming the walls and the roof.
The previous fire occurred on Sept. 18 and was extinguished before it spread.
Municipal authorities gave the Jewish community permission to add memorial monuments to the park surrounding the mausoleum. Soviet authorities destroyed the Jewish cemetery that used to stand there.
But a dispute arose when the community said it would close off the park for two years for the duration of work on the monuments, according to the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress. Residents were angered by the closure, which began on Sept. 17, the Kharkiv group wrote.
Western Ukraine is a stronghold of the nationalist Svoboda party, whose officials on many occasions have used anti-Semitic rhetoric.
The alleged arson happened shortly before the second annual Jewish learning conference of Limmud FSU in Lviv, where hundreds of Jews convened over the weekend.
Reported anti-Semitic incidents are much rarer in Ukraine than in Western European countries. The Congress of National Communities of Ukraine has documented 11 such incidents this year. The number documented in 2009-14 ranged from 19 t0 33 incidents per year.

The challenge
The primary goal of the Land Transport Authority of Singapore is to provide the population of around 4.5 million, plus its 10 million yearly visitors, with a safe, efficient and comfortable means of public transportation.
On completion, the Circle Line is expected to carry around 500,000 commuters per day. It will also be used by a large volume of tourists, the numbers of which are anticipated to increase with the imminent opening of two new integrated (casino and theme park) resorts in the city.
With such a high passenger flow, the monitoring and management of crowd control is of paramount importance. The Singapore government is also dedicated to countering potential terrorist threats to the country across its infrastructure. To address these issues, an extensive CCTV system has been installed incorporating our fiber-optic transmission equipment.
The solution
Singaporeans are extensive users of public transport and proud of their world-class system. CCL therefore requires state-of-the-art security equipment. Singapore Technologies Electronics, Ltd., the systems integrator for the CCTV project, chose us as an integral supplier for the systems.
We will be responsible for providing the fiber-optic transmission system within each of the CCL stations. The units will relay the collected video, data and alarm signals from the CCTV cameras to each of the station control rooms. The project involves the deployment of four-channel digital video multiplexers, transmitters and receivers from the Siqura Tetra, which will connect the CCTV security system while maintaining high picture quality at all times.
For such a high-profile installation, the customer needed to have complete confidence in its suppliers. We met this expectation through its strong reputation for product reliability and by demonstrating excellent technical support and local knowledge. The project also demanded short lead times for installation, which we were able to meet as a result of close cooperation between its regional office and the factory.

Some of the 'no mores'
and 'much mores' of scripture
I wonder if you in your own personal reading of the Bible, have noticed that there is a recurrence of short phrases. They are not confined to one book or one writer. Two such are the subject of this brief article. This article is not meant to be an exegesis of the various passages mentioned, but a reminder of some of the truths written for our learning, encouragement and edification.
1) In Deuteronomy 5:22, Moses was reminding the people, before they entered the Promised Land, that God had given them the Ten Commandments. His law within these was comprehensive and complete. God had written them on tablets of stone, given them to Moses and Moses reminded the Children of Israel that He God had added NO MORE.
2) The Apostle Paul writing his letter entitled Romans in chapter 6 verse 9, states that because the Lord Jesus Christ had been raised from the dead, He dies No More. What an encouragement to all who believe, in Him. For those who have passed through death into His presence, they are absolutely unable to enter into death again.
3) The writer of the Book of Hebrews seeks to encourage those to whom he is writing of the wonder of knowing the Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour. In Hebrews 10:2 we are reminded that through the sacrifices of the Old Covenant, if they had been truly affective in clearing the guilt of sin, there 'would have been NO MORE consciousness of sins in their lives'. Yet the writer also in chapter 8:12 and 10:17 reminds his readers that there was a promise given in Jeremiah 31:34 to the Jewish nation that the time would come when their sins and iniquities would be remembered NO MORE. How wonderful that we who are Gentiles are able to enjoy, by faith, this promise of God's grace and mercy.
There are three 'NO MORES' in the book of the Revelation. In chapter 20:3 we are told that there is a period to come when satan will be sealed in the bottomless pit so that he should deceive the nations NO MORE till the thousand years is ended. This will be a time of rejoicing for at present countless millions are deceived into trusting in false religions and false gods. We are told in chapter 20:1 that in the new heaven and new earth there will be NO MORE death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be NO MORE pain. If we truly love our Saviour, we should be rejoicing in these promises of God. Let us echo the words of David the psalmist 'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever', Psalm 23:6.
We now look at some of the 'MUCH MORES' which are found in the promises of God under the New Covenant, the Lord Jesus emphasised this phrase when speaking to His disciples. In Matthew's record of the Sermon on the Mount he twice brings to our notice sayings made by our Lord comparing every day life with the generosity of God our Heavenly Father;
1) 'If God so clothes the grass of the field… will He not MUCH MORE clothe you. O you of little faith' (Matthew 6:30)
2) 'If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how MUCH MORE will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him' (Matthew 7:11)
Luke when writing his record refers to the 'giving of good gifts to your children and the how MUCH MORE will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him' (Luke 11:13). Also Luke mentions the words of the Lord Jesus when He said 'Consider the raven, for they neither sow nor reap… God feeds them. Of how MUCH MORE value are you than the birds' (Luke 12:24). In verse 28 Luke again writes 'If God so clothes the grass… how MUCH MORE will He clothe you, O you of little faith.'
The Apostle Paul in writing his letter to the Roman church uses the phrase four times in chapter 5 verses 9, 10, 15, 17. It follows from verse 1: 'Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ'.
Verse 9: 'MUCH MORE then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him'
Verse 10: 'For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, MUCH MORE having been reconciled we shall be saved by His life'
Verse 15: 'For if by the one man's offence many died, MUCH MORE the grace of God and the gift of grace by one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many'.
Verse 17: 'For if by the one man's offence death reigned through the one, MUCH MORE those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one Jesus Christ'.
The Apostle Paul in chapter 11 continues his thoughts in contrasts. He writes 'Now if their fall (i.e. Israel as a nation) is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how MUCH MORE their fullness!' (verse 12). 'For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how MUCH MORE will these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree' (verse 24). The thoughts expressed in these two verses are linked to verse 25: '… that hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.'
The writer of the Book of Hebrews in chapter 9 contrasts the earthly sanctuary with the heavenly sanctuary. In verse 14 he says 'How MUCH MORE shall the blood of Christ… purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God'. In Hebrews 12:25 we are given a serious warning: 'See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, MUCH MORE shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven'.
These two phrases are able to enrich our life as we consider the implications they teach. The statements which surround them are there to instruct us more fully in the wonder of all that our Saviour accomplished for us at the cross of Calvary. Let us be glad and rejoice in our Glorious God and Saviour and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Seven American States have claimed the Northern Cardinal as, State Bird! Many sports teams have been named after it, producing some creative logos; images of cardinals appear on just about anything that can be sold! The bird is a marketer's dream!
Named after the scarlet vestments worn by Cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church, we live in the Northern Cardinal's northerly range. Few of these beauties are found much north of here. I remember even in the Toronto area when they were very scarce, as they are primarily a Southern bird. Today, Cardinals are fairly common birds in Southern and South Central Ontario.

The magic of debugging
Believe it or not, but I spent most of last week trying to fix a rather annoying issue with the application I'm writing for my internship.
The application's multi-threaded, since it has to do multiple things at once: Listen for incoming data and add that onto the stack, which is processed in a second thread. To keep the UI from hanging, that's got a dedicated thread as well. When I'm doing testing, there's also a fourth thread that keeps itself busy with sending dummy data to the application. All fine and dandy, but I have to keeps tabs on what thread is using what data, to make sure they don't fight over it and mess things up.
This whole juggling of threads and their use of pieces of data can get a bit tricky. You have to think long and hard about any and all possible scenarios that might arise and make sure all of those are safe and trouble-free, otherwise you'll find yourself searching for a stupid issue that only happens ten percent of the time. Not even kidding, this kind of stuff can be the worst to debug.
It'd pop up with a warning, telling me something was up. After continuing program execution despite it, everything would go to shit. Yeah, expected that, thanks to the warning. So I focussed all my attention on the warning and tried to work from there. My field of vision narrowed and I didn't see the rather obvious flaw. If the first two messages arrived in quick succession, it'd fire up two threads for processing said messages. This because it wouldn't get the time to recognize, "hey, we're starting the whole processing thread, so no need to make a new one" in between messages, making it think "looks like we ain't busy yet, let's kick things into gear".
Adding, what, five lines of code total fixed the issue. And it took me almost three days. Fuck.

Light Bearers
"Deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before" - Edgar Allan Poe
Light Bearers is a multiplayer asymmetrical hide and seek game that pits a sinister shadow against cute light bears!
Release date[edit | edit source]
Light Bearers was released on October 23 2018.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Light Bearers is a multiplayer asymmetrical hide and seek game where during each round one player is chosen as the Shadow while the other players play as Light Bears trying to avoid being infected by the Shadow. Once infected Light Bears become Shadow Bears and start working for the Shadow trying to capture and infect Light Bears.
If all Light Bears reach the Light Pool at the end of the round, they win; however if the Shadow (and his minions) manage to infect all Light Bears before time runs out, the Shadow wins.
All Bears (Light or Shadow) play in first-person to create a more gripping and adrenaline pumping experience while most Shadows play in third-person to give them situational awareness and a sense of true power.
The Shadows[edit | edit source]
The Free-To-Play version of Light Bearers has two Shadows unlocked and ready to play. Unlock the DLC - Full Game to gain access to all available Shadows.
Each Shadow has three abilities crafted for their specific play style; each one offering the player new and interesting game mechanics and combos.
The Bears[edit | edit source]
During any given round of Light Bearers you might play as either a Light Bear or a Shadow Bear. Depending on which one you are, your win condition will change - evading the shadow and escaping through the Light Pool or chasing and infecting all remaining Light Bears.
Whether you are a Shadow Bear or Light Bear there are map mechanics that will aid you in your efforts. Shadow Bears can use the Shadow teleports to move swiftly and easily around the map whereas the Light Bears have hiding spots scattered throughout the map that help them avoid detection.
Both bears have a special ability associated with their type. Light Bears have a useful Dash that gets them out of tough spots and the Shadow Bears can create a wall to stop their prey from getting away.

Isaiah Washington is opening up to "Extra" like never before, admitting he feared his acting career was over when he lost his job on "Grey's Anatomy" in a gay slur scandal.
"I remember everyone coming down on me, like, 'He will never work in Hollywood again,'" Isaiah said. "I have to take the hit for that, so to speak. But I've moved on."
Now the 44-year-old actor is suddenly finding himself one of the stars of another hit series, "Bionic Woman."
"It's almost like déjà vu," he admitted.
"Bionic Woman" is a ratings smash hit, nearly equaling the number of viewers of the "Grey's" spin-off, "Private Practice."
Isaiah said he's confident things will stay that way.
"This show is not going away," he promised.
As for speculation about a viewer backlash against Isaiah, newcomer Michelle Ryan, who plays the title character in the show, said she's standing by her man.
"I can only judge someone as I find them," she said. "And he's been brilliant to work with and he's so professional and passionate."
Meanwhile, Isaiah is trying to ignore his critics: "I couldn't have any time of day to worry about what people are thinking, because I'm too busy trying to learn the dialogue on this show!"

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team's motto coming into the season was "Prove it."
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team's motto coming into the season was "Prove it."
No unit had more to prove than the defense, which struggled toward the end of last season and graduated three of its best players, including linebacker Matt Evans, the program's all-time leading tackler.
They also lost one key contributor to a career-ending concussion and another to a season-ending foot injury.
"The kids have been much-maligned over the years here," coach Sean McDonnell said of the defense. "Earlier this year people were taking shots at them."
After being manhandled by Towson and Wofford in the final two games of the 2012 season, allowing 869 yards rushing, the defense was inconsistent in the early going this year.
It failed to protect double-digit leads in three of the Wildcats' first four games. The Wildcats were plagued by poor tackling, explosive plays by the opposition and inexperience at key positions.
Their performance bottomed out in Week 4 against Towson, which piled up 731 yards of offense in a 44-28 victory. UNH coughed up a 20-3 lead as the Tigers scored 41 unanswered points and the Wildcats fell to 1-3 on the season.
"It was a turning point," said senior co-captain and cornerback Manny Asam, the team's emotional leader. "I told the guys about pride. You've got to step up to the plate. You can't let a team come in and run all over you. You've got to put your foot down and protect your turf, and that's what we started doing."
After the Towson game, the Wildcats couldn't wait to get back on the field and put that loss behind them as quickly as possible.
"I think it was like a wake-up call for us," said senior lineman Cody Muller. "We're more focused when it comes to the little things. A lot of the time we were trying to look at the big picture too much instead of what was in front of us."
At 1-3, the Wildcats were now faced with a daunting task if they hoped to make the FCS playoffs for the 10th consecutive season.
With seven games left, their margin for error had shrunk to almost nothing. They could afford only one more loss at most if they wanted to extend their season.
"Defensively, we didn't play well," defensive coordinator John Lyons said of the Towson game. "We gave up big plays against them. We just didn't have the ability to be consistent throughout the course of the game and that really hurt us. I think after that the guys were embarrassed with how we played. I saw a difference in their approach. They took upon themselves to try and change that."
UNH started to turn things around with a 59-19 win over Rhode Island at Cowell Stadium where they are 5-0 this season and will host Lafayette in the first round of the NCAA tournament Saturday.
The Wildcats followed that up with a 29-28 victory over then No. 11/12 Villanova on a 4-yard touchdown run by quarterback Sean Goldrich with 14 seconds left plus Chris Setian's 2-point conversion.
"I think it changed in the second quarter of the Villanova game, I really do," McDonnell said. "We started tackling and I think the big thing that we did was that we kept the ball in front of us."
They won at Stony Brook the next week, 31-13.
That was the beginning of a five-game stretch in which the defense allowed 20 points or fewer, capped by last Saturday's 24-3 win over then No. 4 Maine that earned the Wildcats another playoff berth.
"They're doing the things that we need to do to be successful," McDonnell said. "We're doing a good job stopping the run, we're doing a good job of getting off the field on third down and we're causing a couple turnovers a game.
"It doesn't mean anything," McDonnell added, "unless we continue to play that way come Saturday."
The Black Bears came into Cowell Stadium unbeaten in CAA play and averaging 32.5 points per game. UNH had five sacks and two takeaways in holding Maine without a touchdown this season.
"I don't know that there's one specific thing you can point to," Lyons said. "I just think we're gradually getting better over the course of the year. We were playing a number of guys that didn't have a whole lot of experience. I think that game gave our team a lot of confidence."
And after going through the rigors of the rugged CAA the Wildcats have matured. With the loss of Evans and Alan Buzbee, linebacker was a question mark coming into the season.
Junior Shane McNeely, sophomore Akil Anderson and redshirt freshman DeVaughn Chollette have formed an effective rotation at the position.
McNeely leads the team in total tackles with Anderson second. Redshirt freshman Casey DeAndrade has stepped in at cornerback in place of the injured Chris Houston, and leads the team with 15 pass breakups.
"Not much has changed," Muller said. "I think we're trusting each other a lot more to do their job. We're flying around. Everybody is just getting more comfortable on the field because of experience. We're getting better and better, and it all came together against Maine."
A 17-0 loss at William & Mary meant UNH had to win their last three games to get an at-large bid to the playoffs.
The Wildcats blanked James Madison in the first half of an eventual 33-17 win at home. They defeated CAA newcomer Albany on the road the following week, 37-20, setting the stage for a showdown with their archrival last Saturday.
"It seems in years past we've put a lot of pressure on (the defense)," said senior receiver Justin Mello. "There have been some high-scoring games. They just came together and found a way to play well towards the end of the season when we need them most."
The defense will need to be on top of its game against Lafayette and freshman quarterback Drew Reed, who has revitalized the Leopards' offense since cracking the lineup in Week 6.
In the last five and a half games he's completed 74 percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns. Reed completed 20 of 27 passes for 378 yards and three TDs in last week's 50-28 win over archrival Lehigh that clinched the Patriot League title.
Lafayette is averaging 38.2 points over their last five games.
"We do have a lot of confidence," Muller said, "but the playoffs (are) a whole new season. What we did these past few weeks doesn't really matter. Anything can happen. We have to be at our best and keep improving. I think we're coming together at the right time."
