I have sighted five UFOs:
They were "unidentified flying or stationary objects" in the sky. Such objects were sighted by many millions of people globally. One of my neighbors has sighted a huge extraterrestrial spaceship fly right above our building. Air force officers all over the world have sighted extraterrestrial spaceships up close within yards, which would hover over or remain stationary over nuclear weapon storages for hours at a time.
I have spoken to hundreds of people on the street raising awareness of the phenomenon. I'd say about 10 to 15% of the people I spoke to have sighted UFOs and a larger percentage of people know of people who have sighted UFOs. I even spoke with people who have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings.
I would like to know whether people in this forum have sighted any UFOs or have had other experiences pertaining to the phenomena.

So you claim it was all beamed directly into his head.
How is that different?
Considering the asteroid belt has millions of times more raw materials than we have so far dug out of the earth and that it does not have to be dug but only refined in place and is so much easier to get at without a gravity well, why would they bother with what is on Earth?
I certainly do believe that extraterrestrial life exists. Our universe is far too vast, with far too many possible locations for it to arise for it to only have occurred here. In fact, even if I were a theist, I'd say that God was a mighty wasteful painter to have (or to have created) such a huge canvas, and only worked his craft on one tiny little speck of it.
So I'm almost certain that Life exists elsewhere. Likely some of it is intelligent.
However, I do not believe that any of it has ever visited our little rock.
Why would they bother?
And it can't be for our resources. If they are capable of finding and reaching us, and they want what we have, they would have no need for clandestine operations. Especially not spanning the several Earth decades that we've been recording modern UFO sightings. They'd launch a few scouting missions, just to size us up, then once they've determined that our offensive, defensive, and travel capabilities are extremely primitive compared to theirs, they'd have wiped us out.
So while I seriously doubt they've ever been here, I'd also say that there's little reason to worry about them. they're either here for benign purposes, or they're incredibly inept at invasions.

Bangalore which is now and then alluded to as 'Bengaluru' is the capital of Karnataka. It is situated at a height of around nine hundred meters over the ocean level. The city is nicknamed as the "Silicon Valley of India" because of the nearness of various instructive and research foundations, for example, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). Aside from that it is home to a lot of touring goals. A portion of the significant points of interest of Bangalore are as per the following
Attara Kacheri (High Court): –
Attara Kacheri is situated inside the premises of Cubbon Park and inverse to the Vidhan Soudha property. It is a noteworthy historic point which is situated in the city of Bangalore. The building which was developed in the year 1860 is perfectly decorated in red painting. It involves two principle floors which has a place with the Karnataka State High Court and a few other lower courts.
Vidhana Soudha: –
Vidhana Soudha is a monstrous structure which is situated on the north western piece of the Cubbon Park. The building was built in Neo-Dravidian styles of engineering by convicts.
Bangalore Palace: –
Bangalore Palace which is situated in the core of the city was worked in the year 1890. The property is flawlessly adorned with stone turrets in Tudor styles of design.
The Bull Temple (Nandi Temple): –
It is one of the huge milestones which were built amid the sixteenth century. It houses an amazing statue of Nandi, the bull who is viewed as the vahana of Lord Shiva. This hallowed place remains at a stature of around sixteen feet.
Lal Bagh blossom appear in Bangalore: An excitement for all
The Lal Bagh blossom demonstrate is a bloom indicate which is hung on pivotal events like Independence Day and Republic Day. It is sorted out by the Department of Horticulture and Mysore Horticulture Society. Around two hundred wide assortments of blooms are shown amid this occasion. It is assessed that five lakh guests run to this spot to witness the occasion.
A portion of the significant features of this show include:
· Cymbidium blooms: –
Voyagers will run over two fifty cymbidium blooms which are indigenous in parts of Sikkim slope stations like Darjeeling.
· Cold atmosphere blooms: –
Impatiens, Begonia and Fuchsia are a portion of the cool atmosphere blossoms which are shown amid the occasion.
· Butterfly imitations: –
These are counterfeit blossoms made out of roses, orchids, chrysanthemum and carnation.

If you have an aging senior loved one who could benefit from home care services, you may naturally be wondering if your family can afford it. Luckily, there are numerous options to pay for home care. But everyone's situation is unique and financial options will vary.
From reverse mortgages to Medicaid, the market has responded to the growing need for different types of senior care with an increasing number of alternative financing options. Let's explore several creative ways financial resources can secure home care while alleviating the cost burden on your family.
Remember that each of these options may have both pros and cons. Consider the solutions carefully, and whenever possible, work with a vetted, trusted financial professional who is knowledgeable about these options. For example, an elder law attorney can be a valuable partner in the financing process, particularly as it relates to Medicaid.
Learn more about your or a loved one's eligibility through your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA), which you can find via ElderCare.gov's Locator service. Another excellent resource for finding financial support options is the Eldercare Financial Assistance Locator. And for more information on paying for home care services, click here.

T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinosThe strange acronym T2K stands for Tokai to Kamioka. So the T2K experiment is located in Japan but the collaboration is heavily multi-national. It works much like the older K2K, KEK to Kamioka. Indeed, it's no coincidence that Kamioka sounds like Kamiokande. Average Japanese people probably tend to know the former, average physicists tend to know the latter. ;-)
Dear physicists, Kamiokande was named after Kamioka, not vice versa! ;-)
Muon neutrinos are created at the source.
These muon neutrinos go under ground through 295 kilometers of rock and they have the opportunity to change themselves into electron neutrinos.
In 2011, T2K claimed evidence for neutrino oscillations powered by \(\theta_{13}\), the last and least "usual" real angle in the mixing matrix. In Summer 2017, we still believe that this angle is nonzero, like the other two, \(12,23\), and F-theory, a version of string theory, had predicted its approximate magnitude rather correctly.
In 2013, they found more than 7-sigma evidence for electron-muon neutrino oscillations and received a Breakthrough Prize for that.
By some physical and technical arrangements, they are able to look at the oscillations of antineutrinos as well and measure all the processes. The handedness (left-handed or right-handed) of the neutrinos we know is correlated with their being neutrinos or antineutrinos. But this correlation makes it possible to conserve the CP-symmetry. If you replace neutrinos with antineutrinos and reflect all the reality and images in the mirror, so that left-handed become right-handed, the allowed left-handed neutrinos become the allowed right-handed antineutrinos so everything is fine.
But we know that the CP-symmetry is also broken by elementary particles in Nature – even though the spectrum of known particles and their allowed polarizations doesn't make this breaking unavoidable. The only experimentally confirmed source of CP-violation we know is the complex phase in the CKM matrix describing the relationship between upper-type and lower-type quark mass eigenstates.
Well, T2K has done some measurement and they have found some two-sigma evidence – deviation from the CP-symmetric predictions – supporting the claim that a similar CP-violating phase \(\delta_{CP}\), or another CP-violating effect, is nonzero even in the neutrino sector. So if it's true, the neutrinos' masses are qualitatively analogous to the quark masses. They have all the twists and phases and violations of naive symmetries that are allowed by the basic consistency.
Needless to say, the two-sigma evidence is very weak. Most such "weak caricatures of a discovery" eventually turn out to be coincidences and flukes. If they managed to collect 10 times more data and the two-sigma deviation would really follow from a real effect, a symmetry breaking, then it would be likely enough to discover the CP-violation in the neutrino sector at 5 sigma – which is considered sufficient evidence for experimental physicists to brag, get drunk, scream "discovery, discovery", accept a prize, and get drunk again (note that the 5-sigma process has 5 stages).
Ivan Mládek, Japanese [people] in [Czech town of] Jablonec, "Japonci v Jablonci". Japanese men are walking through a Jablonec bijou exhibition and buying corals for the government and the king. The girl sees that one of them has a crush on her. He gives her corals and she's immediately his. I don't understand it, you, my Japanese boy, even though you are not a man of Jablonec, I will bring you home. I will feed you nicely, to turn you into a man, and I won't let you leave to any Japan after that again. Visual arts by fifth-graders.
So while I think that most two-sigma claims ultimately fade away, this particular candidate for a discovery sounds mundane enough so that it could be true and 2 sigma could be enough for you to believe it is true. Theoretically speaking, there is no good reason to think that the complex phase should be absent in the neutrino sector. If quarks and leptons differ in such aspects, I think that neutrinos tend to have larger and more generic angles than the quarks, not vice versa.

Neil Ellis Sauvignon Blanc 2002
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
In the very year Neil Ellis set out as a negociant, his future partner Hans Peter Schroder purchased the Stellenbosch wine estate, Oude Nektar, in the spectacular, viticulturally-ideal Jonkershoek Valley. This coincidence gained fresh resonance some years later when Neil and Hans finally met. Neil, recipient of many accolades since flying solo, had outgrown his leased cellar; Hans, in search of a like-minded partner for a quality-focused winery, had extensive cellar facilities. From this synergy emerged a unique joint venture: Neil Ellis Wines.
Neil Ellis Wines differs from most South African wineries in that instead of owning vineyards they have focused on producing the best wine possible and sourcing the grapes from top quality growers. Recognizing that different grape varieties thrive under different soil and climate conditions, from the company's start their philosophy has been to locate those areas that produce a distinctive grape quality and work closely with quality-minded growers in those areas.

Menorah Medical Center, part of HCA Midwest Health System—Kansas City's largest healthcare network and private-sector employee—has named Rob Coe director of Physician Relations and Business Development of Menorah Medical Center. Coe joins the leadership team of the award-winning, full-service, acute-care facility that has a medical staff with more than 600 physicians covering the spectrum of specialties and offers compassionate care and advanced technology for patients. The Commission on Cancer accredits Midwest Cancer Care at Menorah Medical Center as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program. The Joint Commission recently recognized the hospital as one of four Kansas City top performers on key measures, specifically for its exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes shown to improve care for heart attack and pneumonia and surgical care.
Coe has worked in the healthcare industry for more than 20 years and most recently served as physician liaison for a 40-hospital system in California. "Menorah's facility has always impressed me," says Coe, who was born in Salina, raised in western Kansas and is a third-generation Kansas State University alum. "But it was the people who impacted me. This hospital's culture is unique and the foundation begins with the people. There is a profound difference at Menorah. Everyone has ownership—from colleagues in supporting departments to physicians, nurses and staff."
Coe will provide customer service to Menorah's physicians, which in turn means the patients. "It's a privilege to work with highly driven professionals such as the 600-plus physicians on Menorah's medical staff," says Coe. "We are all extremely committed to providing quality patient care."
Amy Leiker, vice president of marketing and development at Menorah Medical Center, says Coe will provide a vital link to the physicians and the care they provide patients. "Rob is another example of our employees continually raising the bar on healthcare offered to residents in Johnson County and beyond," says Leiker. "We are fortunate to add another expert such as Rob Coe to our team."

China Accelerates As Euro Zone Stumbles
Signs of an economic revival in China have raised hopes that Beijing's targeted measures to bolster growth are having an impact but a slowdown in the euro zone will increase expectations of policy easing there.
Chinese factory activity expanded at the fastest pace in five months in May but euro zone manufacturing growth slowed more than initially thought, fuelling expectations that the European Central Bank will ease policy this week.
'The Chinese numbers were fractionally higher. We are beginning to make some progress but it is consistent with this story that the Chinese economy is not going to grow as fast as it has in the past,' said Peter Dixon at Commerzbank.
'The European numbers were in and around the ballpark. It's not the kind of data the ECB is going to react to instantly but it is part of a bigger puzzle that says we need more growth in Europe.'
U.S. manufacturing growth probably accelerated in May, a report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) is expected to show later on Monday.
Markit's final Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the euro zone slipped to a six-month low of 52.2 in May from April's 53.4 as strong figures from Germany failed to offset a contraction in activity in France.
The final number was below the initial reading of 52.5 but held above the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction for the 11th straight month. A subindex measuring output sank to 54.3 from 56.5, weaker than the initial reading of 54.7.
'The slowdown in euro zone manufacturing activity in May reinforces belief that the ECB will deliver a package of measures at its 5 June policy meeting,' said Howard Archer at IHS Global Insight.
To spur growth, boost lending and drive up inflation the ECB is widely expected to cut its deposit rate to below zero, reduce its main borrowing rate and launch a refinancing operation aimed at businesses when it meets on Thursday.
Inflation in the 18 nations using the euro is predicted to have held steady at just 0.7 percent in May, well within the ECB's 'danger zone' of below 1 percent and also below its preferred 2 percent ceiling.
A key measure of German inflation, due later on Monday, is expected to have fallen in May.
Germany is Europe's largest economy and again supported the tepid overall growth but in France, the bloc's second-largest, the PMI sank back below the 50 mark after just two months of expansion.
In non-euro using Britain manufacturing activity kept expanding at a rapid pace in May, suggesting the economic recovery has lost little of its shine this quarter.
The reassuring Chinese factory data and another record high for Wall Street lifted world stocks and commodities on Monday, although markets are waiting to see how far the ECB will go with policy easing plans.
China's official PMI, which is geared towards bigger, state-owned firms, rose to 50.8 in May, from April's 50.4, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday, beating market expectations of 50.6.
'Recent pro-growth measures, which were stepped-up further last Friday, may have lent a helping hand here,' said Nikolaus Keis at UniCredit.
China's manufacturing data bolstered market expectations that the world's second-largest economy is regaining strength as the government's pro-growth measures kick in.
Beijing stepped up policy fine-tuning in recent weeks and has unveiled a slew of measures this year to help shore up the economy, which dipped to an 18-month low in the first quarter and is on track to post the weakest annual showing in 24 years.
China's cabinet announced new easing measures on Friday to help lower funding costs and reduce operating burdens for companies to give more support for the real economy, adding to moves that included hastening construction of railways and public housing.
In South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy and one of the leading manufacturing and export powerhouses, the HSBC/Markit manufacturing gauge slid below 50 while trade data showed exports fell.
In India, the manufacturing PMI edged up but came in slightly below the median forecast in a Reuters poll. Indonesia's PMI surged to a record high but hopes were tempered after its trade balance slipped back into deficit in April after two consecutive months of surpluses.

What's new, plus best mac-related tips
and tricks
There's not much to dislike about the TP-Link TD-W8980 modem-router. It wasn't the fastest performer in our tests, but was dependable. The only feature we didn't have much luck with was the built-in media server for the USB drive. Apart from that, this inexpensive piece of kit barely gave us any grief at all.
TP-Link's TD-W8980 N600 is an ADSL2+ modem-router that's fit to the run the Internet distribution needs of a fairly typical home network. It supports 300 megabits per second (Mbps) 802.11n wireless connections, and its Ethernet ports are of the Gigabit variety. We found it to be a reliable performer during our extended test period, and it was also very easy to set-up and use. Not bad traits at all for a model that's also inexpensive.
• Need an 802.11ac router instead? We've also reviewed the TP-Link Archer D7 wireless ADSL2+ modem router.
Physically, the TP-Link has a piano black finish that looks sleek and modern thanks to some slight curves. There are three antennas at the rear, and this is the only part of the router that's a little old-fashioned. We're used to seeing more routers with internal antennas these days; the external ones are a little cumbersome to manage, but they do the job. We had no problems streaming video across a 10m area from the router to our smart TV. The router distributed the videos on our server PC without any fuss whatsoever.
It's a dual-band router, too, which means you can separate traffic in order to keep things running optimally. You could use the 2.4GHz network to distribute videos to your TV, and then use the 5GHz network for your laptops and computers in order to facilitate faster file transfers without impacting the streaming performance to the TV. Now we should mention that the wireless performance we saw from this router wasn't blazing fast by any means, but it was still quick, and very reliable. We didn't experience any slow-downs or drop-outs at all while streaming video or conducting wireless file transfers.
We tested its wireless performance with our usual Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6300- based notebook, transferring files to it from a wired (Gigabit Ethernet) PC over short distance (2m) and a mid-range distance (10m). When using the 2.4GHz network, the short-range test averaged a speed of 9.79 megabytes per second (MBps), while the mid-range test lost a little speed across the extra distance and averaged 8.19MBps. This is actually very good 2.4GHz performance that's faster than a couple of other wireless routers that we've seen in recent times, such as iiNet's Budii and the ASUS DSL-N55U, even Belkin's AC1200 wasn't as fast. More high-end modem-routers such as WD's My Net Central N900 and D-Link's DSL-2890AL managed to transfer a few more megabytes per second in the same 2.4GHz test.
In the 5GHz Wi-Fi test, the TP-Link N600 improved only slightly on its 2.4GHz showing. It recorded 11.69MBps in the short-range transfer and 9.41MBps in the mid-range test. High-end routers like the previously-mentioned WD and D-Link averaged in the early 20's and high teens in these short- and mid-range transfers, respectively. The ASUS also got faster results from both distances at 5GHz, and the iiNet Budii was faster in the mid-range test.
Basically, the TP-Link N600 isn't the fastest performer when it comes to dual-band networking, but we can vouch for it being a consistent performer, and we found it suitable for a typical home environment in which there are a couple of wireless computers, a couple more mobile devices and a smart TV. Furthermore, the ADSL2+ performance was as fast as we expected out of our iiNet connection (it reached 16.5 megabits per second), and we only had to restart the unit once during our evaluation period — there was a day when we noticed unusually slow download rates. Apart from that one little blemish, we didn't ever have to think about our connection.
There is a USB port on the rear of the N600 that can be used to share a printer or to distribute the contents of a mobile or desktop USB drive, but the media serving capability for it didn't work during our tests. We couldn't see this drive when attempting to access it from our smart TV. The drive can be accessed from a computer by typing the router's address into the Windows Run command, and you can create shortcuts to the folders on the drive that you want to regularly access. File transfer performance when copying files off the drive to a wireless laptop was in the vicinity of 5Mbps.
The router has an FTP function and also support for dynamic DNS (dyndns and no-ip). So while it might not have the cloud features of some other routers on the market, such as the ASUS router, for example, you can access local files remotely if you know how to set it all up. Other features include QoS, parental features (time-based usage and URL filtering), port-forwarding facilities and UPnP.
The TP-Link N600 (TD-W8980) has a recommended retail price of $129, but it can be found for around $110 from many online stores (before delivery charges are factored in). We think it's a good model to consider if you're on a budget and want modem and router capabilities from the same piece of kit. We found it to be a reliable performer and, while it wasn't blazingly fast, it still managed to run our home network smoothly.

• Navy Blue Snakeskin Suede and Gold Glitter
• Inner and Outer Sole : Leather
• Made in Spain
The Sardouille ankle bootie is not only one of the most memorable pieces from the latest collection by Patricia Blanchet, but it is also one of the most memorable pieces in the world of female footwear. If we are going to be completely honest, the Sardouille is without doubt the best thing to have happened in decades, ankle boot wise. Generous, impetuous, instantly likable and spreading love with every step, this is the shoe that is sure to take you somewhere over the rainbow.
The Sardouille bootie is a faithful and trustworthy ally; one that is sure to pamper your feet with first-class treatment no matter where you are going. With a brand new, thick 7 centimetres mid-heel and decorated with stunning art deco inspired details in golden glitter, this boot will help clear your mind and take you to that Zen place you need to be in, in order to make all the right decisions. The Sardouille ankle boot has an invisible elastic on the inner side of the foot, allowing you to easily put it on.
It is important to use a waterproof spray on the printed suede part of your shoes before the first use and then as often as possible to keep your shoes as new.
Be particularly careful to use the waterproof spray for the suede part only, as the glitter part doesn't need any particular treatment other than your attention and constant affection.
Don't hesitate to bring them to a shoe cobbler as many times as necessary.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and water.
You must take out the protection film on the soles before wearing the shoes and only when you are sure you are not going to request a reimbursement.
A family business including you

Greetings blogfriends. How are you? I have been trying to fight off a cold without antibiotics for over a week now, but since i got worse and worse today i will give in! I did it all. Herbal tea(oh so many herbal teas!), aromatherapy, cough medicine, ear medicine, lots and lots of fluids and nothing worked! But because i have n't written here for a while i will not be a nag. Okay, more of a nag!
Did you know that TipToeChic has posted a new video on Youtube? That was a wiccan delight for my sick heart! Sorry, i forgot! No nagging!
Tonight is the full moon. So today i am going to dry the red rosepedals from my Valentine's bouquet. I will lay them on sugar. Not only the harmonics are great but they dry faster. I am also going to make a dust-insence to sprinkle and to burn for light in my life. It is mostly for matters of the heart because it has afrodisiac properties but i usually use it for light in general and wishes. It contains:
red rose pedals(dried on a previous full moon), lavender, damiana, mandric root (all powerfull afrodisiacs so far), St John 's wort, a bit of candio which is a resin that can substitute sugar, and jasmine essential oil. Today is Friday and the full moon is in Leo so make sure to seek your heart 's desire. A beautiful day to celebrate the Esbat. I will cast an Elemental wish spell that i love. The idea is to call upon the Elementals and ask for your wish to come true.
Elementals are creatures that correspond with one of the four elements. They are spirits of nature so it is easier to incorporate them in an outdoors ritual, but you can access their power if you have a represantation for each element on your altar. It is also useful to remember that East correspons with Air, South with Fire, West with Water and North with Earth. To mark the four points on the horizon aka Watchtowers you can use a yellow candle at the East, a red at the South, a blue at the West and a green at the North corner of your altar. Here is the spell for my few greek readers.
Αερικα της Ανατολης,
Στοιχειά του Νοτια,
Νηρηιδες της Δυσης,
Πνευματα του Βορρα,
Το καλεσμα ακουστε της φωνης μου,
Τ' ονειρικο ταξιδι της ψυχης μου,
Εγω, παιδι του Ηλιου και κορη της Σεληνης,
Μαγισσα του Φωτος, της Σκιας και της Σαγηνης,
Ιερεια της Θεας, πριγκιπισσα του κοσμου,
με μαγικη γητεια φορω το φως μου,
Δυναμεις του Συμπαντος και παλι σας εγειρω,
Τη λαμψη την αποκοσμη για να σκορπω τριγυρω,
Σε φλογα κερινη αφηνω την ευχη μου,
Χαρα να μου χαρισετε ζητω μες στη ζωη μου!
Ετσι ας ειναι.
Brightest blessings blogfriends and happy Esbat!
Elemental magic on full moon!

I invited friends over for a girls' night before realizing tonight will be the night of the full moon. I know, what kind of witch is that? (Uhm, that would be me. ^^) Anyway, since I didn't want to uninvite them, I decided to have a small less-spiritual celebration. But I made chocolate penisses with cinnamon and cardamom (and a little salt for the darker chocolates) for everyone to enjoy (eating!!), so there will be lots of energy for love (and lust) for everyone... I hope my guests will use it in their lives!
(No, I am not bespelling anyone. Everything I cook or bake is charged with energy, and it would be a shame to let this opportunity slip away or not to share... )

'Bad Boys' Band Inner Circle -- Tour Bus Crash After Tire Blows Up
'Bad Boys' Band Inner Circle Tour Bus Crash After Tire Blows Up
Whatcha' gonna do ... when you crash your tour bus into a fence after the tire blows up?
If you're reggae band Inner Circle -- the guys behind the famous "Bad Boys" song -- ya call the guys who helped make you famous ... COPS!
It all went down Tuesday in New Orleans ... when the band was traveling between gigs and the front driver's side tire exploded -- causing the bus to swerve into a fence.
A rep for the band tells TMZ the guys are bummed about the bus -- but they're happy no one got hurt. We're told the current tour will continue on as scheduled.
Inner Circle says they snapped a pic with the cops on scene afterward to show how much they appreciated the help.

Even after death, Hugo Chavez choosing successor
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelans stripped of their larger-than-life leader awoke to an uncertain future on Wednesday, with jittery throngs flocking to supermarkets and gas stations to stock up, and anti-American vitriol infusing official statements and the chants of the street.
Hugo Chavez's body was being brought from the hospital where he died to a military academy where it will remain until the late president's funeral Friday, an event that promises to draw leaders from all over Latin America and the world. Already, the presidents of Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia have arrived for the ceremony.
Even in death, Chavez's orders were being heeded. The man he anointed to succeed him, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, will continue to run Venezuela as interim president and be the governing socialists' candidate in an election to be called within 30 days.
In a late night tweet, Venezuelan state-television said Defense Minister Adm. Diego Molero had pledged military support for Maduro's candidacy against likely opposition candidate Henrique Capriles, despite a constitutional mandate that the armed forces play a non-political role.
The streets of Caracas were free of the usual weekday morning traffic as public employees, schoolchildren and many others stayed home on the first day of a week of national mourning. The only lines were at gas stations where Venezuelans could fill up their tanks for pennies a gallon thanks to generous government subsidies.
For diehard Chavistas who camped out all night outside the military hospital where the former paratrooper died, Wednesday was the first full day without a leader many described as a father figure, an icon in the mold of the early 19th century liberator Simon Bolivar. Others saw the death of a man who presided over Venezuela as a virtual one-man show as an opportunity to turn back the clock on his socialist policies.
For both sides, uncertainty ruled the day.
It was not clear when the presidential vote would be held, or where or when Chavez would be buried following Friday's pageant-filled funeral.
Venezuela's constitution specifies that the speaker of the National Assembly, currently Diosdado Cabello, should assume the interim presidency if a president can't be sworn in.
But the officials left in charge by Chavez before he went to Cuba in December for his fourth cancer surgery have not been especially assiduous about heeding the constitution, and human rights and free speech activists are concerned they will flaunt the rule of law.
Tuesday was a day fraught with mixed signals, some foreboding. Just a few hours before announcing Chavez's death, Maduro virulently accused enemies, domestic and foreign -- clearly including the United States -- of trying to undermine Venezuelan democracy. The government said two U.S. military attaches had been expelled for allegedly trying to destabilize the nation.
But in announcing that the president was dead, Maduro shifted tone, calling on Venezuelans to be "dignified heirs of the giant man."
"Let there be no weakness, no violence. Let there be no hate. In our hearts there should only be one sentiment: Love. Love, peace and discipline."
Capriles, who lost to Chavez in the October presidential election and is widely expected to be the opposition's candidate to oppose Maduro, was conciliatory in a televised address.
"This is not the moment to highlight what separates us," Capriles said. "This is not the hour for differences; it is the hour for union, it is the hour for peace."
Capriles, the youthful governor of Miranda state, has been feuding with Maduro and other Chavez loyalists who accused him of conspiring with far-right U.S. forces to undermine the revolution.
Shops and restaurants began closing and Venezuelans hustled for home, some even breaking into a run when the news was announced. Many looked anguished and incredulous.
"I feel a sorrow so big I can't speak," said Yamilina Barrios, a 39-year-old clerk who works in the Industry Ministry, her face covered in tears. "He was the best this country had."
Others wished Chavez's departure had come through the ballot box.
Carlos Quijada, a 38-year-old economist, said that "now there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen."
He said a peaceful transition depends on the government. "If it behaves democratically we should not have many problems," Quijada said.
Like most Venezuelans, he said his big concern is ending violent crime that afflicts all strata of society, from the poor Chavez wooed with state largesse to the economic elite at the core of the political opposition.
Venezuela has the world's second-highest murder rate after Honduras: 56 people for every 100,000 according to government figures, which nongovernmental groups say are understated.
Late Tuesday, the armed forces chief, Gen. Wilmer Barrientos, reported "complete calm" in the country.
But there had been several incidents of political violence.
In one, a group of masked, helmeted men on motorcycles, some brandishing revolvers, attacked about 40 students who had been protesting for more than a week near the Supreme Court building to demand the government give more information about Chavez's health.
The attackers, who didn't wear clothing identifying any political allegiance, burned the students' tents and scattered their food just minutes after Chavez's death was announced.
"They burned everything we had," said student leader Gaby Arellano. She said she saw four of the attackers with pistols but none fired a shot.
Outside the military hospital where Chavez's body was visited by loved ones and allies, an angry crowd attacked a Colombian TV reporter.
"They beat us with helmets, with sticks, men, women, adults," Carmen Andrea Rengifo said on RCN TV. Video images showed her bleeding above the forehead but she was not seriously injured.
Maduro and other government officials have railed against international media for allegedly reporting rumors about Chavez's health, although RCN wasn't one of those criticized.
After nightfall, several hundred people gathered at Bolivar Square, a symbolic place for Chavistas because it has a huge 9-meter-tall (30-foot-tall) statue of Simon Bolivar, the 19th century independence hero whom Chavez claimed as his chief inspiration.
Some arrived singing Venezuela's national anthem and holding up posters of Chavez.
One man began shouting through a megaphone a warning to the opposition: "They won't return." The crowd then joined in, chanting: "They won't return."
Chavez leaves behind a political movement in control of a nation that human rights activist Liliana Ortega, director of the non-governmental group COFAVIC, describes as a badly deteriorated state where institutions such as the police, courts and prosecutor's offices have been converted into tools of political persecution and where most media are firmly controlled by the government.
Maduro, whose government role had grown after Chavez went to Cuba for treatment, was belligerent early Tuesday. He reported the expulsion of one of the two U.S. attaches, and also said that "we have no doubt" that Chavez's cancer, first diagnosed in June 2011, was induced by "the historical enemies of our homeland."
Maduro compared the situation to the death of the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, claiming Arafat was "inoculated with an illness" and said a "scientific commission will prove that Comandante Chavez was attacked with this illness."
Chavez's inner circle has long claimed the United States was behind a failed 2002 attempt to overthrow him, and he has frequently played the anti-American card to stir up support. Venezuela has been without a U.S. ambassador since July 2010 and expelled another U.S. military officer in 2006.
U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell denied the U.S. was trying to destabilize Venezuela and said the claim "leads us to conclude that, unfortunately, the current Venezuelan government is not interested in an improved relationship."
Ventrell added that the suggestion that Washington somehow had a hand in Chavez's illness was "absurd."
He hinted the U.S. could reciprocate with expulsions of Venezuelan diplomats.
Chavez rose to fame by launching a failed 1992 coup, but never groomed a successor and many Venezuelans find Maduro, a former union leader, lacking his political heft.
Some political analysts believe that has made him more inclined to go on the attack as the presidential campaign begins in earnest.
Javier Corrales, an Amherst College political scientist, said he was concerned about the "virulent, anti-American discourse" under Maduro. "It seems to me this is a government that is beginning to blame the United States for all its troubles."
"This is very dark," he said. "This is the most nebulous period, the most menacing that the government has been, and the actions have been pretty severe."
Those actions have included charging a leading opposition politician, Leopoldo Lopez, with influence peddling in a 15-year-old case that his lawyers say has passed the statute of limitations.
Lopez, who calls the charges ludicrous, ran logistics for Capriles in the Oct. 7 election after the government barred him from running for office.
In the absence of Chavez, the government is more aggressively seeking "to selectively destroy" opposition activists, Lopez said.'
Christopher Toothaker and Jorge Rueda in Caracas, Vivian Sequera in Bogota, Colombia, and Luis Alonso and Robert Burns in Washington contributed to this report.

The week in review
Worst way to get out of going to court: The Louisa Sheriff's Office is looking for 38-year-old Danielle Messineo, whom they say has made bomb threats on days she was scheduled to appear in court in Louisa, Culpeper, and Orange counties. According to a release, Messineo was arrested, posted bond– and then failed to show up in court.
Worst crash: Shirley Newton, 59, of Dillwyn dies April 23 in a single vehicle accident on Scottsville Road. Newton was a passenger in the northbound car that slammed into a tree near Avon Road Extended, and she's the fourth Albemarle fatality this year. The elderly driver is in critical condition, according to police.
Most UVA students under arrest: Three are arrested for offenses stemming from a stolen credit card used to buy booze and food, according to the DP. Jake Mauriello, 22, is charged with credit card theft. Alvaro Anspach, 18, and Henry Borgeson, 19, are charged with credit card forgery.
Most delegates: John Douglass of Fauquier is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Robert Hurt for the 5th District congressional seat. After the Albemarle Dem caucus April 23, Douglass says he has enough to win the May 19 convention, but opponent Peyton Williams has not conceded, NBC29 reports.
Most endowed: Charlottesvillians Gordon and Mary Beth Smyth put up $1 million for an endowed business administration chair at Mary Baldwin College, according to the News Virginian. Joseph Sprangel is the first appointee.
Latest in David Lee Cowan's death: His friend, Brandon Maurice Jackson, 22, is sentenced to 2 1/2 years April 17 in the involuntary manslaughter shooting of Cowan in February 2011. The friends had been arguing with another group when Jackson fired a .38 caliber revolver that accidentally struck Cowan in the neck. Samantha Koon has the story in the Progress.
Latest guard to fool around with inmates in Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women: John Bernard Bland Jr., 40, is expected to plead guilty to three counts of carnal knowledge at an April 27 hearing, according to the DP.
Latest in the spitwad case: The Rutherford Institute pushes on to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of the Spotsylvania High student Andrew Mikel, who was suspended in December 2010 for the rest of the school year for shooting small, plastic pellets at other students.
Latest zero-tolerance-run-amok case: Three middle schoolers in Orange County face expulsion and felony charges for playing with Airsoft guns during non-school hours at Orange Elementary, according to the Orange County Review. The popular toy guns violate the School Board's ban on weapons, which means the children could be expelled for 365 days and charged with a Class 6 felony.
Biggest diesel spill in water supply: Twelve gallons may have gone into the Rivanna Reservoir April 20 when a trailer used for wood chipping ends up in the water, WINA reports.
Newest Stonefield project: A 137-room Hyatt Regency will break ground shortly at the mixed-use development now under construction at the intersection of U.S. 29 and Hydraulic Road, according to the DP.
Swankiest hotel renovation: Perhaps in anticipation of a new, high-end hotel, the Boar's Head Inn finishes up a $9-million renovation that will result in 175 guest rooms and nine suites.
Swankiest squash courts: UVA Class of '91 alum Jaffray Woodriff, founder of Quantitative Investment Management, donates $12.4 million for a 33,000-square-foot squash facility at the Boar's Head Sports Club, according to a release.
Swankiest retirement party: UVA plans a professorship to honor civil rights icon/retiring history prof Julian Bond. To raise money, friends and alums are holding a May 2 gala at the Plaza Hotel Ballroom in New York co-chaired by Harry Belafonte and Dave Matthews, and emceed by comedians Wanda Sykes and Chris Tucker.
Best time to go to Shenandoah National Park: April 21-29 when admission is free during "National Park Week."

From "AllStarLink Wiki"
- Q: What is DIAL?
- A: DIAL is the software used to make an AllStar node. It consist of Linux, Asterisk and app_rpt. DIAL uses the Debian version of Linux. Asterisk is the OpenSource PBX. App_rpt is an Asterisk application giving it the radio node functions. DIAL runs on x86 or on the Rasberry Pi 3 (ARM version).
- Q: What does DIAL stand for?
- A: Debian Installation for AllStar Link.
- Q: How do I install DIAL?
- A: If you have ever installed Linux you know how to install DIAL. The DVD/SD image is available on the AllStarlink home page.
- Q: How many nodes can DIAL support?
- A: It depends on the hardware. A high power intel box may support 25 or mode RTCM clients. A the other end of the spectrum, a Rasperry Pi 3 would be good for 2 USB nodes.
- Q: How is a DIAL Node configured?
- A: Briefly, a single node configuration is straight forward. The install will walk you through a first time setup of your node by asking you an number of questions. You'll need to have created an AllStar account, created a server, requested a node number and have your node's password.
- Q: How do I login to DIAL once it is installed?
- A: With earlier versions of DIAL you can login as user debian with a password of debian (normal user) or loging as root with a password of debian (super user). This has been deprecated. The current version has the root account blocked from network login. You must login as user "repeater" and sudo root commands. Use the passwords you chose at install time.
- Q: When using ACID I had (insert feature here) Now it's gone. When will DIAL support this feature?
- A: DIAL supports all the same channel drivers, features and apps that ACID supported. Under DIAL, modules are not loaded by default. They must be enabled in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf. This is the single biggest configuration change from ACID.
- Q: Will DIAL run as a hub / reflector?
- A: YES, DIAL will run as a hub. To build a hub set rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo in rpt.conf and set noload => chan_simpleusb.so in modules.conf
- Q: Do I need a monitor and keyboard to run DIAL?
- A: No, DIAL can be managed via SSH on port 222. The port can be changed in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf. DIAL does require a monitor and keyboard to install.
- Q: What is the IP address of my new node?
- A: DIAL configures the machine via DHCP. Check your DHCP server for the address. The machine defaults to repeater.allstarlink.org. This can be changed with /usr/local/sbin/netsetup
- Q: Does my remote access program (insert IAXRPT, Web Transceiver, Zoiper, AndroidIAX here) work with DIAL?
- A: Yes, either using the sample configuration files or your custom files.

- A: By default, DIAL installs the ulaw formatted audio files installed in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/.
- Q: What version of app_rpt is DIAL built with?
- A: DIAL is built from the current version of asterisk taken from the SVN. As of now, The version of the code from the SVN is 1520 and app_rpt is version 0.325 10/19/2014
- Q: DIAL is built on Debian 8, why Debian, why not (insert distro here)?
- A: There are a lot of great Linux distributions available. Debian is a 20+ year old distribution with a large developer base. Many of the other distributions are based on Debian.
- Q: I run a custom script (insert script here). Does it work with DIAL?
- A: Unless the script does something really strange or uses something specific to only one Linux distribution, The script should be made to work. I'll be happy to work with script writers to move their script to DIAL.
- Q: I updated my kernel now what?
- A: You must have the kernel headers for the version of the kernel you installed. Install the headers, recompile and install DAHDI.
- Q: I need a Linux program that is not in DIAL, what do I do?
- A: apt-get is the Debian utility to install, remove and upgrade programs. apt-get install foo will install the program foo if it is available.
- Q: I would like to create my own custom version of DIAL. Can you help me?
- A: There are a number of new versions in the works. The scripts, patches and configuration files used to build DIAL are at https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar
- Q: I have a question not covered in this FAQ, how do I get an answer?
- A: There is a wealth of information on AllStar Asterisk at http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/ There is also a user mail list at http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
- Q: How do I change my network (adapter) setup?
- A: /usr/local/sbin/netsetup
- Q: How do I change my DNS setup?
- A: /etc/resolv.conf
- Q: How do I restart Asterisk?
- A: You will need to stop it and start it.
service asterisk stop service asterisk start
If it does not stop: killall -9 asterisk
To see if it's running: ps ax | grep asterisk
- Q: What are the specific differences between a single node, and a hub, to which can accept many connections?
- A: Any node can be a "HUB". A node is not limited to one connection. There may be hardware limitations about the number of connections a given piece of hardware and internet connection can support. Typically, a HUB is located on a higher bandwidth Internet connection and is running a more "stout" piece of hardware. A HUB usually does not have a node radio connected to it, but there is no reason it can't. A HUB usually runs DAHDI/pseudo for it's rxchannel. This is changed in the rpt.conf file.
- Q: On some x86 and some raspberry pi2's, I have noticed dtmf falsing and would like to recompile app_rpt to set the radio relax feature off to reduce/eliminate the false dtmf tones that get decoded from voice transmissions.
- A: Here's how to recompile with RADIO_RELAX off in DIAL.
Stop asterisk: service asterisk stop
Verify asterisk is stopped: ps ax | grep asterisk If you see /usr/sbin/asterisk it is not stopped killall -9 asterisk ps ax | grep asterisk If you see /usr/sbin/asterisk it is not stopped
Change compiler setting: cd /usr/src/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/asterisk make menuselect select 10. Compiler Flags select 6. RADIO_RELAX set to off x make make install
service asterisk start
- Q: I exited the firsttime script for setting up a DIAL system, and would now like to run it. How is this accomplished?
- A: Do the following:
touch /etc/asterisk/firsttime /usr/local/sbin/firsttime

The Crate and Barrel catalog that arrived in our mailbox last night has a gaggle of giggling gals on the glassware page, some "snowed in" hipsters in the casual dining section, and then, at the very end, two adorable dudes showcasing cookware.
Under "Us & Always," the copy reads:
Spend a Saturday night at home, cooking together, dining together. Music, candlelight and a good bottle of wine, and you can have the table as long as you like.
One guy spices up the sauce…
…While his partner drains the pot. These are not euphemisms. Or are they?
Money shot! What a kitchen. There's a voyeuristic thrill in watching them be intimate together, but truth be told, we're dying to join in.

How do you know if you are pregnant and how long you have been pregnant for?
Most women determine that they are pregnant if they are sexually active and have missed a period. Nausea, breast soreness, and fatigue are also common symptoms in early pregnancy. Ultrasound or pregnancy tests are the only ways to immediately be sure that a woman is pregnant.
You can do a pregnancy test from the first day you missed your expected period and onwards. Before this time, the level of hormones produced by the pregnancy is too low to show up on the test and you may test negative while you can be pregnant.
If an ultrasound is performed, the doctor can tell a woman exactly how long she has been pregnant, but it only shows a pregnancy from about a week after you missed your expected period. The doctor can also estimate the length of the pregnancy without using ultrasound. A pregnancy test cannot provide this information, although some new very sensitive early tests estimate the duration of the pregnancy, but are far not as exact as an ultrasound,
A woman can also make a reasonable calculation of about how long she has been pregnant. She must figure out when the first day of her last menstrual period was, include that day and start counting up until today.
More scientific information:
Studies show that women are capable of doing this on their own.
A study was carried out to see if women in the United Sates and India could calculate how long they had been pregnant. The women were given calendars and worksheets to help them do the calculations. 98 out of every 100 women in the study group in the U.S. and 87 out of every 100 women in the study group in India were able to estimate how long they had been pregnant. Approximately 9 out of 10 women could estimate the lengths of their pregnancies accurately enough to use mifepristone and misoprostol on their own. The researchers concluded, "The vast majority of women seeking first-trimester abortion in this study could accurately calculate pregnancy duration within a margin of error clinically inconsequential for safe use of unsupervised medical abortion. Most of the women's estimates were within 1 week of the actual length of their pregnancy. This was "well within the documented margin for safe and effective medical abortions 2 .

Former WEC champion Mike Brown (24-8 MMA, 0-3 UFC) and "The Ultimate Fighter 12" semifinalist Nam Phan (16-8 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet at UFC 133.
UFC officials today announced the featherweight fight.
UFC 133, which also features Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis, takes place Aug. 6 in Philadelphia. The city's Wells Fargo Center plays host to the event.
The night's main card airs on pay-per-view, though Brown vs. Phan likely will be part of the preliminary card.
The bout is an absolutely must-win for Brown, who's just 2-4 in his past six fights, which included a title loss to Jose Aldo at WEC 44. Following the UFC-WEC merger in late 2010, he entered the octagon for the first time since a 2004 submission loss to Genki Sudo at UFC 47. But he suffered a split-decision defeat to Diego Nunes at UFC 125, and then three weeks later as an injury replacement, he suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Rani Yahya at UFC Fight Night 23.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, Brown took some time off to recover from a hand injury and mystery heart ailment.
Phan, meanwhile, fights for the first time since his controversial split-decision defeat to Leonard Garcia at The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale in December. The heavily panned decision resulted in the Strikeforce and World Victory Road vet's third loss in his past four bouts.
Phan, who holds a black belt in a variety of martial arts, had been scheduled to rematch Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24 in March but was forced off the card due to a foot injury.

EDIT: This question has been modified to make it a stand-alone question. Feel free to retract your votes for the previous version.
Here are Vinay Deolalikar's paper, and Richard Lipton's first post about it, and the wiki page on polymath site summarizing the discussions about it. His approach is based on descriptive complexity.
One of famous barriers for separating $NP$ from $P$ is Razborov-Rudich Natural Proofs barrier. Richard Lipton remarked about his paper and the natural proofs barrier that apparently "it exploits a uniform characterization of P that may not extend to give lower bounds against circuits". A question which is mentioned in one of the comments on Lipton's post is:
How essential is the uniformity of $P$ to his proof?
i.e is the uniformity of $P$ used in such an essential way that the barrier will not apply to it? (By essential I mean that the proof does not work for the non-uniform version.)
So here is my questions:
Are there any previous computational complexity results based on descriptive complexity that avoid the Razborov-Rudich natural proofs barrier (because of being based on descriptive complexity)?
How can an approach to $P$ vs $NP$ based on descriptive complexity avoid being a natural proof in the sense of Raborov-Rudich?
A related question is:
What are the complexity results using uniformity in an essential way other than proofs by diagonalization?

When would you read a paper claiming to have settled a long open problem like $P$ vs. $NP$?

JK Rowling gives her deservedly celebrated series a rousing – and very satisfying – sendoff.
JULY 23, 2007 – IT IS OMINOUS, but perhaps not entirely unsurprising, that JK Rowling prefaces Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows with a couple of quotes about death (one of them from Aeschylus – "… the stroke that hits the vein, the haemorrhage none can staunch" – that makes you wonder if the wily old Greek actually knew a thing or two about the aftereffects of the Sectumsempra spell). Ever since Professor Trelawney glimpsed the Grim around Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Prisoner and Azkaban, death has stalked our young hero – and those around our young hero – in increasingly unanticipated ways, and if there's one question on everyone's lips before opening this most awaited of adventures (other than, of course, Am I going to be able to resist the temptation of flicking to the last page?), it's this: Does Harry Potter survive his inevitable wand-off with Lord Voldemort?
But a more pressing question would be this one: Does Harry Potter have what it takes to survive his inevitable wand-off with Lord Voldemort? After all, he's merely seventeen a few chapters into Deathly Hallows, and he's barely had six years of magical school education, while his nemesis is not only much older but also with far more – now, how shall we put this politely? – real-life experience. No less a wizard than Professor Dumbledore himself appears in awe of the Dark Lord, for he confides to Harry during his customary post-climactic-battle chat in the Headmaster's office, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, "I knew that Voldemort's knowledge of magic is perhaps more extensive than any wizard alive. I knew that even my most complex and powerful protective spells and charms were unlikely to be invincible if he ever returned to full power."
Professor Snape minced far fewer words in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when he spat out, "[Harry] has fought his way out of a number of tight corners by a simple combination of sheer luck and more talented friends," and Voldemort himself sneers, in Deathly Hallows, "That Potter lives is due more to my errors, than to his triumphs" – and our overriding concern for Harry, as we plunge feverishly into his seventh and last adventure, is our sinking feeling that Snape and Voldemort are right. Even with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger beside him, however is he going to acquire, in such a short time, the knowledge and the skills to complete the task that Dumbledore has set for him, which is to first unearth the remaining Horcruxes – those magical objects that house splintered parts of Voldemort's soul, and which need to be destroyed if Voldemort is to be destroyed – and finally go mano-a-mano (rather, boyo-a-mano) with the greatest Bad Wizard of all time?
It's to Rowling's credit that, for a significant part of Deathly Hallows, she does absolutely nothing to alleviate our apprehensions. (It's surely no coincidence that the very first time we meet Harry, we find him at his most vulnerable: "Harry was bleeding.") Harry, Ron and Hermione appear, more than ever, three silly kids in over their heads – bumbling across the countryside, stumbling into the right people, lucking into crucial magical objects, chancing upon important information at just the right moment. But the magic – and yes, this is sheer magic – of Rowling's narrative design is that her story could exist, could function no other way. It's just right – and by the end of it all, by the time we absorb the inevitability of the final revelations, even sceptics may find themselves staving off a fighting urge to slap their foreheads hard and cry out, "But of course!"
While the verdict is still out on Rowling's literary gifts – rather, the apparent lack of them – no one who's followed the series can fault her facility for spinning one heck of an involving yarn, and Deathly Hallows proves, yet again, that this author is nothing if not an expert puppeteer of audience emotions. Slowly, surely, she manipulates us – interspersing fond remembrances of what we already know with teasing snatches of what we are dying to know. Saying farewell to his home on Privet Drive, early on, Harry pulls open a door under the stairs. "And under here, Hedwig," he exclaims to his snow-white owl, "is where I used to sleep! You never knew me then – blimey, it's small, I'd forgotten…" We haven't – but that's hardly the point. We know what our loved ones looked like ten years ago, but that doesn't prevent us from pulling out albums of old photographs from time to time, and that's the effect that Rowling creates here. Harry's nostalgia – along with the reappearances of everyone and everything, from Sirius Black's motorcycle to the snitch that Harry apprehended in his very first Quidditch match – is a sentimental reminder of a magical world that we've known for a decade, that we're now saying goodbye to forever.
What's new in Deathly Hallows, however, is that this is the first time it's all-out war – and while the rousing arc about a small group of rebels fighting to bring down an unstoppably evil regime isn't exactly new to pop-culture storytelling (think Star Wars or Terminator 2), Rowling hints at real-world underpinnings. It's impossible not to think of Anne Frank when Harry and his friends are holed up in a desolate house to escape the stalking Death Eaters, just as Voldemort's pure-blood obsession harks back to Hitler – and these parallels bring about some inevitable dissonances in a book written with children in mind. When Hermione runs over her checklist before launching into a particularly dangerous offensive, we note, with some alarm, that her ammunition consists of the Invisibility Cloak, Polyjuice Potion, Decoy Detonators, Puking Pastilles, Nosebleed Nougats and Extendable Ears (although, later, Rowling does acknowledge these preparations as "laughably childish"). Another factor that eats considerably into the element of danger is that practically every move of Voldemort's is sensed comfortably ahead-of-time by Harry, thanks to his psychically-connected scar.
That's not to say Deathly Hallows is anything less than a nail-biting read. A rescue operation inside the Ministry of Magic is thrillingly written, and the climactic battle is a real rouser, what with the magical creatures of the world uniting against a common enemy the way they did in another fictional universe, many decades ago, when another fantasist wrote about a quest to destroy a near-indestructible magical object. (Harry's mission to eliminate the Horcruxes parallels Frodo's journey in other respects too, particularly in the revelation that a Horcrux has the power to cloud the possessor's mind.) Along the way, there are nods to the Arthurian legends (a sword is retrieved from a lake), Gothic romances like Jane Eyre (an embarrassment to the family is locked up inside her own home), and perhaps even our own Ramayana (a magical deer that may be trap for three people living in a forest, go figure!) – but then, Rowling has always been an equal-opportunity appropriator.
And these appropriations, in Deathly Hallows, come together as well as you could wish for. Rowling may leave you dissatisfied with the surprisingly slapdash way her villain goes about his nefarious business, and she may leave you quibbling over her seemingly inexhaustible stock of narrative coincidences, but you brush aside these concerns because you care about the characters. You care for Harry when he gets hold of a letter written by his mother, and you care that she made her g's the same way he does. ("He searched through the letter for every one of them, and each felt like a friendly little wave glimpsed from behind a veil.") These relationships – between friends (Harry and Ron and Hermione), between whether-or-not boyfriends and girlfriends (Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione), between parent and child (Lily Potter and Harry, Molly Weasley and her brood, Narcissa Malfoy and Draco, Xenophilius Lovegood and Luna, the Grangers and Hermione) – are the reason we buy, yet again, one last time, into Rowling's writing. Spells, enchantments, jinxes and curses all have their place, but as the wise Dumbledore once put it, the greatest and most powerful magic is love.

53-year old Ronnie Hobbs was arrested when police spotted him watching cartoon porn, on his laptop, in plain sight, while sitting inside a McDonald's PlayPlace.
According to Natchez Mississippi police, Hobbs was spotted "watching cartoon pornography pictures inside a public place the images of which could be viewed from the parking lot and drive thru by other customers." Two children were in the McDonald's PlayPlace at the time of Hobbs' arrest, one of whom had spoken with Hobbs while he was watching Piglet and Jasmine (presumably?) get freaky on his Acer. It is unknown if Hobbs was related to the children.
Hobbs informed police that he was addicted to pornography, and is currently out on bond awaiting trial. If you live in vicinity of Natchez, Mississippi or Ferriday, Louisiana (Hobbs given home address), keep an eye out for this scumbag. [The Smoking Gun]
