Gunny's First Duck Hunt
Mississippi River - Savanna, IL
September 19, 2008
Gunny was born June 5th of last year. He was starting formal OB before he was 6 months old. Last fall, he had the opportunity to pick up dead and crippled pheasants during clean-up after tower shoots. This was valuable experience for a young pup. We had a long winter with lots of snow. There was deep snow on the ground for three months. We used that "down time" to work in a puppy OB class.
The weather finally improved and Gunny was CC, FF, FTP, completed T work, did FTW, completed swim-by, has been "decheated" and is well into transition (can run cold blinds). Marking has him doing multiples with diversions and retrieving shot flyers. He has seen decoys in training, worked out of a dog hide and been for boat rides.
His skills were in place.
Even though he is 15 months old, in some ways Gunny is still a puppy at heart.
During the early teal season my three older dogs got their turns and each retrieved some teal. Yesterday was the last day. It was Gunny's turn. We weren't going to shoot teal (necessarily) because we were going for all the "other stuff". If there was a chance to shoot that would be a bonus, but it wasn't the main purpose of this hunt.
The boat was full of gear and it was dark when we left the landing. As the sun started to provide early light, stumps were everywhere as we made the careful transition to the main channel. As usual, I stopped the motor, tilted it up and rowed. Soon the pelicans and cormorants started to cruise low (all over) and Gunny's eyes were busy as we moved down river. The view of the Mississippi from the main channel is just plain awesome. Mighty does not begin to explain it. For awhile I had to remind him of where he was to sit during the trip to the blind.
About a half hour before shooting time, I had pushed the boat into the shallow water of a sand flat in front of the blind. Each decoy was taken out and carefully placed in the spread. Gunny had to stay in the boat and was very anxious to take a "closer" look at the "dekes" I was tossing about.
After placing the spinner pole in the sand, the "Mojo" was mounted and turned on. The boat was pushed nearer to the blind to unload. As I was removing gear, Gunny was allowed a free run to explore. Wow! He charged the decoys and got a few quick "NO! leave it". The spinner was left high for a reason.
The lily pads were fascinating and Gunny frolicked all about checking out anything he could get his nose near or mouth on. He was a puppy in the training mode called exposure. Gunny pranced on cloud nine with excitement and the release of being "free" was part of the plan.........burn off a little energy.
After pushing the boat into the lily pads north of the blind, I covered it with "camo" and tossed some large lily pads randomly on top. Gunny had to be told NOT to get back in the boat......several times.
The weather was warm by duck hunting standards. The small numbers of teal that are using the Savanna pool had been shot at for over two weeks. The sky was high. It was not a perfect day for duck hunting, but then again.......it was. Gunny was learning far more about hunting than just shooting and ducks falling from the sky.
For awhile he was very into tasting every stick, stem and weed he could get his mouth around. His interests eventually switched to watching all the different kinds of birds flying over us or swimming out in the flats. He began to sit quietly and stare. I especially liked that.
About two hours later, three teal flew over about 50 yards up.....no shots.....and that's all I saw. By design, I had brought along a bumper. Before leaving, as he sat near me outside the blind, I threw the bumper out beyond the decoys and shot. Gunny remained steady and was released on his name. He visibly dodge decoys on the way out and you could see from his head movement that he was avoiding them. On the next two tosses and shots, he took straight lines without even noticing the "dekes". The lunging water was exciting, and those three retrieves gave the morning a little more focus.
About 9:30 am, Gunny and I went through a reverse process and prepared to move. Again he had to sit in the boat and watch. The loaded Bluebill was pushed to knee deep water and rowed out near the channel. There were some other islands that Brian M. told me to scout............and we did.
After setting up a "skeleton" spread with the spinner on the "ducky" looking point of one of the islands, we "hunted" without a blind by hiding in some willows near the shore. Gunny sat and watched. This area was literally covered in geese......early goose season was over.......no teal. A few times, he had to be reminded that eating twigs was not what he was suppose to be doing.
After about an hour, to make things easier the boat was pushed back up the shoreline to load. It was simpler than walking through the trees and cover on the island itself.
By now Gunny knew it all. He understood his role. As we headed back, there was plenty of light to try and find the navigable "slot" through the islands near our boat landing which would eliminate having to row through the stump fields and flats to get out into the main channel. Before we got there, a huge barge going downstream was given plenty of room. Somehow my little Carsten Blueblue became even smaller.
Using a navigational map of this section of the Mississippi, the two islands I was told about were finally located. Now I can motor all the way. Meanwhile Gunny was curled up sleeping in his designated spot in the boat. The newness had worn off........he had become the experienced pup........mission accomplished.
We didn't shoot at a single duck, but Gunny's first hunt was a great success. For me a duck hunt is about getting up early, sometimes driving a long way, loading the boat and heading out on to the water in the dark in anticipation of what might happen. The last step before actual hunting is a pause of relief with an automatic series of responses. You take a deep breath and do the obligatory time checks. Shooting time arrives, a gun is loaded and the "game is on".
The pleasure comes from having a dog watch you setup the decoys and share the entire morning. Gunny's antics this morning were normal. Some might consider his behavior a nuisance, but each time he goes Gunny will become more polished......he is learning. Today great progress was made.
So in the grand scheme of things, if ducks are flying that's a bonus.........if not.........the final ritual of picking up the decoys and heading back to the landing always completes a fulfilling morning.......with the primary joy of duck hunting being a well prepared dog. Gunny was ready.

Rather than organise the exercises into muscle groups which is common for body building routines, workouts should be broken down by movement patterns. These are broad movements that are applied in a variety of different activities in everyday life and various activities in combat sports (e.g. Push, Pull, Press, Squat, Lunge, Rotation and Gate).
As an athlete, you are more concerned with improving strength and power in functional patterns, as opposed to isolated muscles. For example: Having strong hamstrings will never win you a fight. However, using those hamstrings to deliver a powerful right cross and knock your opponent out will.
There are some keys that are true for all athletes. First, you must train your entire body, and you must train it in movement patterns that are applicable to your sport. Then you must consider your goals, and select exercises, repetitions ranges, and intensities that will help you fulfill those goals. Next week we will explain the first Principle of sport conditioning – SPECIFICITY.

I loooooove A-ha! 'Hunting High & Low from '1985' and 'Minor Earth, Major Sky' from '2000' have to be two of all time favorite albums, yet they're very different records. 'Hunting' is more electronic while 'Minor' is more of a mature/guitar based record, but always the melodies and gorgeous vocal work by lead singer Morten Harket. Love that they have both styles to choose from, depending on your mood.
New album 'Foot of the Mountain' (out now) sees them returning to a more electronic sound of debut album 'Hunting' but with sprinkles of 'Minor' thrown in and it's just about perfect. Of the time and on par with their best work.
Went to bed listening to the whole thing on my headphones last night and I highly recommend you do the same! Gorgeous stuff. Hard to believe that these guys are still putting out such amazing music 25 years into their careers like contemporaries Pet Shop Boys & Depeche Mode.
Too bad the U.S. still lags behind and views them as one hit wonders!? They've sold more than 36 million records worldwide and are popular in South America and Europe, especially their home of Norway. Get with it U.S!
Check out these two great mp3's from the album plus the video for first single 'Foot of the Mountain' which wouldn't have been my choice for first single, but beautifully done. Can you believe he's 50? Still has that baby face.

Synopsis Raffaella Moretti, by far the most beautiful girl in the southern Italian town of Triento, is about to marry the only boy she has ever loved. It seems that nothing but happiness lies in store for Raffaella. Yet, just one year later, she is a widow, and has had to take a job as housekeeper in the Villa Rosa, for the young American who is temporarily working in Triento. As Raffaella struggles to recapture her own lost happiness she starts looking for ways to help those around her to do the same. There is Silvana the baker's wife, her passion barely hidden; Carlotta the gardener's daughter with her mysterious grief, and the kind and gentle owner of the Gypsy Tearoom who offers Raffaella friendship. As the lives of these villagers interweave, Raffaella is pulled into the centre of a conflict that threatens not only to divide Triento but also to destroy all she holds dear. Filled with food, love and longing, THE GYPSY TEAROOM is like taking a seat in a sun-drenched piazza, and becoming a tiny part of the endless spectacle of life there. |

"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"
--Kenneth Koch
"El subtítulo 'Modelo para armar' podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables."
A song I know very, very well already: "Everything I have is yours" or "Nice Work If You Can Get It," for example. And the first time I hear Billie Holiday sing it, there is a special emotion. It's like hearing it for the first time, but the emotion comes from *already* knowing it, and hearing it in a heightened dimension: from the combination of these two things, really. it's not that this is the only way the song should be sung: other interpretations are valid too. The beauty comes from knowing other, subsequent different versions, not from only knowing hers. Usually, hers is the best. Dinah Washington is great too. Ella and Sarah. Betty Carter. I'm not thrilled with Diana Krall and all the other Dianes and Dianas of jazz vocalism. I haven't anything against her, but there's a high standard set here. It's like reading 10 translation of Li Po, and always coming back to Ezra Pound.

"It would be a great thing if you could get this Martin Thomas to confess his secret," remarked Horace Kelsey to Ralph, after the hearing was over.
"That is true," returned the boy. "But I don't see how I am going to do it. He is very stubborn."
"He won't be stubborn long. He knows the charge against him is too grave. You might intimate to him that it will go easier with him if he confesses."
"That is true, sir."
"If he is merely a tool it is nothing to you whether he is punished or not. You wish to bring the instigator of this plot against you to justice."
"Supposing I go in and have a talk with him, then?" suggested Ralph.
"We will both go in," returned Horace Kelsey.
Half an hour later they were closeted with Martin Thomas in a side room of the police station. They told the rascal of the object of their visit.
At first Martin Thomas would not listen to them but when Horace Kelsey pictured the possible future to him he grew more pliable. He began to pace up and down nervously.
"Well, supposing I own up to everything," he said, at last. "Will you drop this case against me?"
"That depends on what you have to say," said Ralph, cautiously.
"Well, I can say this much: I was only hired for this work--I and Toglet."
"Who by?"
"Squire Paget, of Westville."
Had a bombshell exploded at Ralph's feet he would have been no more astonished than at this declaration.
"Do you mean to say Squire Paget hired you for this work?" he demanded.
"Yes, I do. The whole scheme was his."
"But what was his object?"
"He wanted to get you out of the way."
"But why?"
"He didn't tell me why, but I reckon it was on account of some valuable Westville property."
"It must be the property down by the lake front!" cried Ralph.
"Had he the papers for that land?" asked Horace Kelsey.
"I never thought so," returned the boy, slowly. "But he might have. He used to transact most of father's business for him years ago."
"Then you can depend upon it that he has the papers."
"But the land belongs to my mother."
"He's going to force her into selling out to him," put in Martin Thomas. "With you out of the way he felt sure, I suppose, that he could do as he pleased with your mother."
"The scamp!" ejaculated Ralph, his honest eyes flashing fire. "If you have told the truth, he shall suffer for this, mark my words!"
"And, hoping you will drop this matter against me," went on the prisoner, "let me give you another pointer. You wrote to your mother the other day, didn't you?"
"Well, he got that letter. Your mother never saw it."
"No wonder I haven't received any reply then!" burst out Ralph. "Did you ever hear of anything so mean?" he added, turning to his rich friend.
"Your duty at present is plain, Ralph," replied the insurance agent, pointedly. "The best you can do is to take the first train home."
"You are right."
"There is no telling, if this Squire Paget is so villainous, what he may not try to do."
"You think he will not wait?"
"It is not likely. He has shown a great haste in the whole matter."
"No. Don't wait. Go home and have him locked up," put in Martin Thomas. "I will appear against him, if you wish it."
He was willing now to do anything to save himself from a long term in prison.
"I will go home," said Ralph. "I will not lose another minute."
"Shall I go along?" asked Horace Kelsey. "You may need some one to help you in your fight against so influential a man as Squire Paget."
"I shall consider it a great favor," said Ralph, and he gave the insurance agent a grateful look.
They consulted a time-table, and found that they could get a train for Chambersburgh in an hour. This train would connect with the regular lake steamer that stopped at Westville.
The two questioned Martin Thomas for a few minutes longer, and got what additional information they could from him. Then they called in the jail keeper and hurried off.
"I guess Squire Paget will be surprised when we walk in on him," said Ralph, with a grim smile.
"He will be still more surprised when he learns that Martin Thomas has been arrested and that his whole plot is known," replied Horace Kelsey.
The insurance agent had several small matters to attend to. But these did not take long, and then they took an elevated train for the depot.
Fifteen minutes later, Ralph's homeward journey had begun. It was none too soon, as the sequel will show.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- You may have raced "to" the mall in the past. And soon, you will be able to race "in" the mall.
A California company called Pole Position said it will lease space in the new Destiny USA mall for an electric kart track. The vehicles travel at up to 45 miles an hour. The indoor track will be among a number of entertainment venues on the new mall's 3rd floor. And Destiny's developer said there is more to come.
Robert Congel of Destiny USA said, "This is where everyone comes and that's why we're putting the major entertainment on the third floor. I can't wait till it gets all done. I can't imagine being as excited as I am now over the product and what it's going to produce here."
Joining Pole Position on the third floor will be a high-end bowling center, a number of clubs and restaurants and a recently announced expansion by Regal cinemas, which is adding a premium 3-D theater as well as an IMAX theater to its mix.

They LOVE food! Chinese food particularly and so do I. That's why we grabbed the opportunity and the challenge to conceptualize their e-session. The picnic thingy was getting a bit old and very much tried and tested so we wanted to twist the theme a bit so that they're still outdoors but having dimsum and noodles instead of the usual pastries and soda and the popular fruit/picnic basket.
This is where our personal experiences and travels came in handy because I remembered how me and Joannie always had dinner on the streets of Mongkok and not in the restos. I remember how the locals wrote their menu on chalkbooards, the food carts on the sidewalk, the paper lanterns. The Hong Kong al fresco street-dining experience. The only thing left to do was to style it up for our cameras!
Oh, and they fancy board games and you'll those after the break :)

It's annoying that OFP has only 1 rifle holding animation (or move whatever), so making shorter rifles/smg's is pretty hard as the forward arm is grabbing thin air!
So BIS would it be hard to implement rifle-holding move with hands closer together in the next patch in addition to current ones? You could call it something like 'submachinegun move'
Perhaps the weapons like UZI could then be utilized more properly without using silencers just to make it 'look right'.

June 28, 2005: Intolerance claims need another look - The Denver Post |
The Denver Post
The disparity between a Yale Divinity School finding of "stridently evangelical themes" at the Air Force Academy and an Air Force team's report of no "overt religious discrimination" weighs strongly in favor of yet another probe of the school's religious climate. An Air Force team headed by Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, deputy chief of staff for personnel, investigated religious discrimination at the academy after several complaints about evangelical Christian faculty and cadets harassing members of other faiths. The service team found no bias but did identify "insensitivity." But the Yale Divinity School team said evangelical Christian proselytizing was commonplace, including an incident in which a chaplain told 600 cadets to "go back to their tents and tell their fellow cadets that those who are not born again will burn in the fires of hell." There was also an incident in which Cadet Curtis Weinstein was called an "(expletive) Jew." Hardly examples of religious tolerance. There was also no excuse for football coach Fisher DeBerry's hanging a banner reading "I am a member of Team Jesus Christ" in a locker room, even if he apologized later. To his credit, outgoing Superintendent Lt. Gen. John Rosa has implemented programs to address intolerance at the academy. "If we have one problem of religious discrimination, it's too many," said Rosa. Air Force Academy cadets, like all Americans, have First Amendment rights to practice their religions, but Brady's team found that events and activities sometimes were scheduled without regard for the needs of some faiths. The Air Force report was seen as weak by some members of Congress. "It is not a whitewash, but it does resemble milquetoast," said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y. Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., said he will ask for a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the report and also has asked the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom to monitor academy compliance with the Air Force team's recommendations. Salazar's suggestion for Senate hearings is a good one, but the academy's problems don't rise to the level of the brutal religious repression that the commission normally probes. A Senate inquiry would be welcome to get at all the facts and also to make sure that religious bias is banished from the academy. |

From the macabre mind of Robert "Spooky" Denton, a delightful bonus fiction for your Halloween enjoyment! Muahahahahaaa!
Between the Walls
By Robert Denton
I remember, when I was very young, my sister and I became trapped between the walls of Kyuden Kankei. I did not recall this incident until recently, as though the weight of this memory caused it to sink into the obscured depths of my mind. Throughout all of my adult life I have overlooked this moment in time. But I remember it now. When I close my eyes, I see glimpses of long grey hallways and the yawning of darkness beyond.
My sister always remembered. Though she didn't speak of it in all the years we served the Nasu family, she never forgot. In some ways, she was always still there. Trapped and forgotten, confused and lost. Between the walls.
My family's heritage is an auspicious one. We have always served the Shiba with distinction. All of my ancestors have held prestigious posts or were assigned to esteemed charges. The Nasu are known for their boldness, their skill, and their determination. My sister was a champion of these traits; just two minutes my elder, she has always led, and I have always followed.
Our childhood was pleasant enough, at least that which I can recall. Our parents served in the War of the Twins, and so they were stationed far from Kankei Seiden. In the peace before the war, they were direct servants of Asako Bashi, the lord of Kyuden Kankei, who held them in high esteem. When they were called in service, my sister and I were permitted to live in the Kyuden with our caretakers. Our days as children were spent there, left mostly to our own devices, until we were old enough to live in the barracks and train in the dojo of the Natsu estates. To learn the Shiba style of swordsmanship, as our ancestors before us.
By the time of our gempukku, my sister had fully blossomed into a young woman. Her eyes had become sharp and calculating, the brashness of her youth eroding in the steady waves of time. The courtiers took note of her skill and beauty, and before long she was arranged to wed the son of Asako Bashi. Our lord had watched over my sister for some time, believing that she would make an excellent match for his son even when she was just a student. As I think back on those days, it occurs to me now that he always had an interest in us and would watch us both closely. In some ways, I always regarded him as a second father. It only occurs to me now that my sister never spoke to him as openly or warmly as I did.
When he announced my sister's betrothal, she did not smile. She merely bowed, obedient, accepting the honor without a single word spoken. I felt pride that my sister was chosen to join the esteemed House of our lords, even if it meant that we would be separated. It would be the first time in our entire lives that we would not be together, but any anxiety of the prospect was drowned in the pride and esteem I felt for my sister. Pride and esteem that she did not seem to share. My bold, outgoing sister did not brag or celebrate. She accepted this honor with a bowed head.
It was troubling to me. My sister and I were close, and I believed she could hide nothing from me. We completed one-another's sentences, knew one-another's thoughts and feelings, and could always tell when the other was far or near. It was trivial to see that something ate at her, but I did not mention it until the following day, during our lunch after the morning training. I had thought, perhaps, that she did not like the thought of marrying our lord's son, and that she was shouldering this honor as she would a solder's burden. I was surprised to learn that this was not the case. She simply did not want to live in Kyuden Kankei. The thought made her uneasy.
She admitted this in a quiet breath, speaking towards her bowl of soup. When her eyes lifted, there was a knowing look there, as though we shared an unspoken understanding. Yet I was confused by her words. I didn't understand why she would feel that way about the Kyuden, where we'd spent our childhood years together, a place of beauty and comfort instead of the cold, hard cots of the warrior's barracks. When I said this, her expression changed to open confusion.
"Don't you remember what happened to us there," she said, "when we were children? Don't you remember what we saw?"
At first, I thought this was a joke. There was a mischievous streak in her due to the hour of her birth, and I believed she was trying for some kind of prank. I laughed at her words, anticipating that any minute the facade would drop and she'd return my smile with the quiet admittance that she could not fool her twin brother. Instead, she grew very quiet. Her eyes sank into the cloudy miso within her bowl, her expression cold.
I knew then that I'd insulted her. There was no game. She'd been serious. But even in the uncomfortable moments that followed I could not recall a single incident to which she was referring. In fact, it was impossible; as children we were inseparable, and there was no instant in which I was not by my sister's side. We'd seen all the same things and lived the same lives. Yet I could not remember anything that would have caused my sister to feel uncomfortable within the halls of Kyuden Kankei. For the first time in my life, I did not understand how my sister was feeling, and I found the notion disturbing.
That night I dreamed. I was alone in a long and narrow hallway, ill-lit from a source I could not discern. To either side, the passage extended far into a thick darkness that my eyes could not break. It was cold; I remember the loud clatter of teeth in my mouth, the involuntary spasm of my jaw. I felt no breath of wind, not even the faintest thread of a breeze. The wall behind me felt solid against my back, and on the one before me I could see the faint strokes of a painted tapestry on the other side. A face, an artist's depiction of a grimace. I knew that painting, knew that face… but from where?
I looked slowly away to the void of bitter emptiness within the stretch of hallway. The world may as well have ended there, because I could see nothing beyond it. A suspended curtain of nothing just an arm's length to my side. I turned my head to the other side. It was the same. Numbly staring into that abyss I felt completely alone, insignificantly isolated in a tiny stretch of hallway floating nowhere. I drew the cold into my mouth and felt something that I had not known since I was just a child. Forgive my sin… I was afraid.
I awoke in the barracks with the lingering memory of that place. My eyes were open, yet the thin streaks of Yume-do had not fully evaporated into the night of that room. As I recalled the dream, I clung to whatever images my mind could still grasp, but they dripped slowly through my fingers like spilled water, a thin film in shaking hands. I watched as the painted face in my dream faded from my memory, leaving only a shadow cast against the wall of my mind.
As the days passed, my thoughts returned often to the fixed images of my dream. I knew that I could not remember the entire thing, that there were parts I was forgetting, yet I recognized them from the holes they left in my memories. I knew there'd been a face, and that I'd seen it before, but I could not recall or describe its features, nor did I know from whence it came. Whenever I returned to these images I grew cold, as if my flesh remembered more than my mind would allow. In those moments, I felt shame. Having felt fear, I'd committed the first sin. The following nights were marked by frequent purifying trips to the shrine, lighting spindles of incense and with my head bowed in silent prayer. But the dream did not come back. My nights were still again. It was my daytime that was now disturbed.
My sister suspected something was on my mind. Since our exchange we did not speak much. We still spent our days training side-by-side in the dojo, ate our lunches together and performed our nightly duties patrolling the village outside Kankei Seiden. Whereas in the past she would have asked for my confidence, now she said nothing. Perhaps that is why I finally spoke of it weeks later, in the dimming of the day just beyond the walls of the Nasu estates.
"Sister," I said, "what happened when we were children in Kyuden Kankei?"
She looked at me for a long time. My own face, but for the feminine jaw and lack of facial hair. When she finally spoke, her voice was quiet. "I didn't think about it much in all this time. I was told it was only a dream. A nightmare. They told me to forget about it, and so I cast it away. But lately, I cannot help but recall it. I think it wasn't a dream." I watched as her face, my face, became white as the sky in winter, an expression she'd never shown before. "I think it was real."
Our gunso approached then with the evening's assignments. My sister and I bowed together. Tonight, like most nights, our patrols were separate. She would join the watch within Kankei Seiden. I, like most other nights, would walk the village. As we received our instructions, I glanced at her and saw that she was looking at me with the familiar determination I'd seen before. I knew the look well; she'd made up her mind, whatever it was. Not knowing what she intended to do, I nodded regardless. We did not speak of the matter again after that. Indeed, we never spoke again.
That night came another dream. It was similar to the previous dream; I was standing in a cold, narrow hallway, engulfed by darkness on both ends. But this time was somehow different. More familiar. When I looked at the wall before me I saw the mural face again, veiled somewhat by a layer of wall-plaster. The wall itself was brighter than the other walls, and I realized that the dim light was coming from the other side of the wall. There were sounds there too. Feet shuffling, muted voices. Somehow I knew that I'd brought myself here, but I still did not know where I was.
I felt something grasp my hand. Jerking my vision suddenly, I stared into my sister's face. She was very young, just a child no more than seven or eight. Upon seeing her I remembered that I was only a child as well. She tugged my arm, as if to pull me into the yawning darkness of the hallway. I resisted; I had forgotten what it was to be a samurai, to hold myself above the impulses of my own mind. I was afraid. At last, she dropped my arm and shook her head. She said something, but her voice was clouded with echoes, and I didn't understand her. Then, she was swallowed by the darkness. I was alone. The light behind the wall went out. I awoke, again in my barracks, again cloaked in fading tendrils of Yume-do. I left the barracks and went to the temple, ladling blessed water over my arms and hands, and set my head to the floor before the shrine to Fukurokujin. I did not want to be rid of the visions that assaulted me in my paralyzed state of dreaming. I wanted only to understand. To know what the night was showing me.
That morning, my sister did not come from her barracks to practice her kata before the rising sun. I knew something was wrong. I sought answers among my peers and the Sensei of the dojo, but it was from the lips of the castle's lord that I discovered what had happened. My sister had chosen to patrol the halls of Kyuden Kankei the previous night. She was found crouched in one of the castle's waiting rooms, her sword sunk deep into her belly. Seppuku. I did not want to believe the words, but Asako Bashi was a man of great honor who spoke only the truth. My sister took her life in the darkened halls of Kyuden Kankei.
The funeral pyre lit the courtyard of the Nasu estates that very evening. Asako Bashi bestowed my sister with the honor of his personal court diviner, who oversaw the ceremonies. Wrapped like a lotus in icy-white silks, my sister's body disintegrated in long stalks of flame. When she was gone, the shugenja stirred the ashes with a long staff, picking her bones and lifting them from the pile. With the funeral sticks I passed my sister's bones to her friends, our sensei, and our aunt, who carried the charred bones as stone-faced as the funeral of our parents. As the shugenja announced that my sister's soul had passed into the next life, I saw that his gaze, and the gaze of the others, laid heavily upon me. Perhaps she had passed on, but in me, a part of her would remain in this world still.
A samurai should not fear death. Nor should he fear the consequences of death, much less that of another. I always knew we would be separated one day. But not like this. It was a hollow and pointless death, like the drowning of a kitten in a nightshade pond, or the swatting of a fly. It had meant nothing. As I stared at the dimming ashes, I felt a cold that defied the sated pyre, and looked up to a starless sky, yawning dark like the end of a distant hallway.
That was two years ago. Every day since then has felt as empty as a shrouded hallway. I have lived only to stay alive, no purpose beyond the course of my duties and the gentle draw and exhale of breath. The lord of the castle passed several months ago, but the son of Asako Bashi has treated me kindly. My utter devotion to every task laid before me has drawn his favor. Last week, I was promoted to the castle guard, and now my patrol takes me through the halls of Kyuden Kankei, a place where I have not walked since I was a child.
I come to the reason for my writing. Last night, alone on the final circle of my patrol, a thin beam of moonlight caught my eye from a door that I did not recall. Sliding open the shoji door, in the gloom, I saw a furnished room meant for entertaining. On the wall was a depiction of a duel between two samurai, one flashing a look of victory as his blade plunged into the chest of his opponent, the other in a grimace of defeat. When I saw the grimacing face my heart stopped, and a coldness washed over my body. It was the face from my dream. Exact to every detail, except that it faced the opposite direction.
And when I looked upon that face, the flame that had cast my mind in shadows for all these years flared brightly, illuminating all of my lost memories. In that instant I knew where the hallway was in that dark dream, where I was once so long ago, an incident that I'd forgotten for the barrier of time and memory that cloaked it there. It was behind this mural-wall. The barrier of my mind was thusly broken, and every memory flooded back in that instant. At last, I remembered.
My sister and I played games as children. We would wear one-another's clothes to confuse the servants, tell jokes that caused guests to blush, and more than anything, we went exploring. One day we found a crack in a plastered wall. My sister wedged herself through and vanished into the darkness there. I followed, as I always did. We discovered a network of passages there that took us behind all of the rooms of the castle. It was dark, and we relied upon the lights on the other side of the wall to see. We were in the walls for hours, until we came to that familiar hallway that would later haunt my dreams. I would go no further; I knew the servants would be looking for us. My sister went on, confident that I would follow. And then the lights in the room beyond went out, and I was alone in the dark for some time.
Until a light flickered around the corner of the distant hallway, the same one my sister had taken. On slow steps and a quickening heart I walked down that hall, pausing just beyond the corner of the cast light. I heard a mumble of a voice there, something familiar to me, and for a moment, a musky smell met my nostrils. Slowly I turned the corner. Beyond, I saw a cramped room with dark walls, a single torch shining from the hands of a tall, shadowy figure. The walls were marked with long strings of words in a cypher that I did not understand. There were bones on the floor, outlined in the yellow-orange light and scattered in each corner. At the centre of the room, I saw the shadowed back of my sister. She stood in front of the figure, who held the torch high above her head. I saw him lift his gaze up from her. His eyes met mine, and I saw his shadow-strewn face in the flicker of torchlight. It was the lord of the castle, Asako Bashi. He smiled before my widening eyes, gesturing for me to come closer. I watched as my sister turned. I saw her face, my face, in the flicker of the torchlight. Smooth and featureless, like the shell of an egg. I felt my lungs fill with air and tried to force a scream, but nothing came out. I had no mouth to scream. No mouth. No face.
I do not know who I am anymore. I do not even know who I once was. But I know what must be done. I remember now, and finally I am ready. Know that you can never judge me more harshly than I have judged myself, or know me more than the Fortunes that heard my prayers. Only remember me as Shiba Fukada, whoever that man was. With blade in hand and mind clear, I return to the darkness and whatever awaits me.
I will see my sister again. I know she is waiting there.
Between the walls.
* * * * *
My Lord,
These documents was all we could find of significance in the ashes of Kyuden Kankei. It was buried beneath a slab of stone just beyond the smoldering remains of the left wing. Our inquisitors found no trace of what Shiba Fukada describes in his letters, nor did we find any remains. Fukada has been missing since the night he wrote the inclosed documents. Our search continues, but it is your humble servant's opinion that we will not find him. I believe he perished in the flames, consumed mind and body by his madness.
I have also included another document of interest. I contacted a student of the castle's original architect, who is now living in a nearby monastery. He was able to produce blueprints of the castle and swore on his honor to their authenticity. As you will see, they bare the official chop of the castle's architect. I believe you will find them of significant relevance to these affairs. You will notice, as I did, that the walls of Kyuden Kankei consisted of simple paper and wooden framework, being entirely modular and collapsable within the tracks separating each room. The pathways described in the above account therefore could not have existed; there was no simply space for them between the walls.
Your humble servant,
Asako Jirou

RPE (Reinforced Polyethylene)
Oil Resistant
RPE (Reinforced Polyethylene) products are extremely durable whether you are lining a temporary retaining pond, or constructing a soil remediation pad. RPE is UV resistant, remains flexible in extremely low temperatures, and has very good chemical resistance. Titan's RPE's are an HDPE/LDPE fabric designed for economical, safe containment of contaminated soils, liquids or sludge. It looks and feels like a "Super thick tarp of industrial quality material." RPE is also an excellent choice for constructing the temporary containment cell we use for our Geotubes.
Advantages of RPE
- It is incredibly strong.
- The material is easy to handle and can be folded to fit the contours of many applications.
- RPE can be prefabricated into extremely large panels, which could possibly line an entire project.
- Small repairs can be simply handled by the contractor if the installers are not on site.
- The material can be quickly installed in emergency applications.
Installation Notes
- RPE is a very technical product to work with and requires specialized welding equipment and certified welding technicians to be installed properly.
- The material is very sensitive to thermal welds, so we only recommend a couple of in the field seams during the installation. Usually we would design the job around 1 or 2 panels with 1 center weld. For larger jobs we would refer the product spec to 40mil HDPE or LLDPE.
RPE is an oil resistant geomembrane that is the perfect choice for storage or remediation/treatment of contaminated materials, fuels, chemicals, and water. Titan's RPE products are used in a variety of applications including:

Lawyers for the Mifflin County School District and the Keystone Central School District have asked Judge John Cleland to quash defense subpoenas seeking information about two of Sandusky's alleged victims. The districts cite federal and state laws that govern disclosure of school records.
The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youths founded by Sandusky in 1977, is also seeking to quash a defense subpoena.
Cleland scheduled a May 9 hearing on the motions, and ordered the districts and the charity to submit briefs.
Sandusky, 68, a former Penn State assistant football coach, is awaiting a June trial on charges he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years. He has denied the allegations.
From the Mifflin County School District, the defense is seeking records of a young man described in court documents as "Victim 9." The district said Tuesday that Sandusky has asked for records involving classroom achievement, discipline and mental health issues, among other things.
The Keystone Central School District filed a similar motion regarding "Victim 1," and last week state prosecutors objected to the use of defense subpoenas.
Sandusky's lawyers have said they will respond in writing to the objections.

Six Feet Under: You Never Know
When Fisher & Diaz is called upon to provide funeral services for a disgruntled former office worker who died in the middle of a murderous rampage, moralistic Federico (Freddy Rodriguez) tries to put his foot down and refuse the business. The resulting friction with new partners David (Michael C. Hall) and Nate (Peter Krause) fuels Rico's longstanding resentment against the Fishers. Meanwhile, Lisa (Lili Taylor) deals with a whole different sort of office politics as she scurries around attending to Carol (Catherine O'Hara), the maniacal movie-exec boss with whom she and Nate reside. Although she's supposed to be merely Carol's personal chef, Lisa's duties are so extensive that she and Nate can barely find time to have uninterrupted sex. Claire (Lauren Ambrose), however, does almost nothing but have sex with Phil (J.P. Pitoc), the muscular musician she's been dating. But while Phil's off enjoying extracurricular relationships with other women, Claire finds time to bond with Russell (Ben Foster), a fellow art student. Ruth (Frances Conroy), too, makes a new friend: Bettina (Kathy Bates), a pal of her artsy sister Sarah (Patricia Clarkson). Deep in withdrawal from prescription painkillers and under Bettina's strict watch, Sarah tries to trick naïve Ruth into giving her some relief; instead, Ruth pops pills and bonds with straight-talking Bettina. As for Keith (Mathew St. Patrick), he's had enough bonding with David during their joint counseling sessions. Attending a one-on-one session with their shrink, he finally unloads some of his relationship angst. These feelings spill out again later at a dinner party during which Nate and Lisa find themselves sizing up David and Keith's relationship, and vice versa. Originally broadcast March 9, 2003, on HBO, "You Never Know" marked season three, episode two of the made-for-cable drama. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Murphy Brown: Operation: Murphy Brown
Murphy (Candice Bergen) can't bring herself to tell her son Avery about her cancer surgery--nor, for that matter, has she been able to even say the "C" word to anyone, herself included. As Murphy relentlessly cross-examines the doctors assigned to her surgery (apparently none of them are qualifed enough to suit her!), the rest of the "FYI" gang tries to protect her secret from conniving tabloid photographer Rudy Grasso (Don McManus), even unto having Kay (Lily Tomlin) impersonate Murphy to throw Grasso off the track. Future Sixth Sense star Haley Joel Osment makes his first appearance as Avery Brown in this episode, which originally ended with PSAs delivered by both Candice Bergen and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Man of the Year to top of Queue
This film is a unique combination of documentary, drama and comedy, and uses real people as well as professional actors to chronicle the experiences of Dirk Shafer who in 1992, was voted Playgirl magazine's man of the year. For the athletic, blond and extremely photogenic Shafer this fame was a double-edged sword. On one hand, he really needed the money; on the other, he had just come out of the closet. Still he went for the gusto and spent much of the year touring about and getting interviewed on talk shows. Only a few close friends and family members knew that he was a homosexual; to everyone else he was the epitome of heterosexual masculinity. This naturally, created problems with Mike, the man Shafer wanted to get involved with. Included are filmclips from actual talk-show appearances, and interviews with family and friends, not all of whom were tickled to discover that he was gay. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Living a Lie
CBS's scheduled resolution of a Murphy Brown cliffhanger (is she pregnant or not?) cut a vital portion of the audience for Living A Lie upon its initial September 1991 telecast. Those who did tune into this TV movie were in for a well-intentioned if preachy anti-prejudice piece. The scene is a rural Southwestern community, where Jill Eikenberry has been happily married to Peter Coyote for years. An Hispanic family moves into the area, and is promptly subjected to violence. The principal suspect is Coyote--who is, as Eikenberry discovers for the first time, a fire-breathing bigot. As the body of evidence increases, she finds it difficult to stand by her husband, as the community expects her to. Ultimately her conscience wins out over misguided matrimonial loyalty. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

And is Murphy (Candice Bergen) thrilled and delighted by all this? Of course...not. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The disarming comedy A Little Romance features Diane Lane as a 13-year-old American, living in Paris with her businessman stepfather (Arthur Hill) and her promiscuous mother (Sally Kellerman). Mom is currently enamored with pretentious-filmmaker David Dukes, and it is on the set of Dukes' latest picture that Lane meets another 13-year-old, insatiable French film buff Thelonious Bernard. A likeable street-smart petty thief and gambler, Bernard is instantly attracted to Lane. With the help of roguish old Laurence Olivier, Lane and Bernard arrange a romantic rendezvous under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. Naturally, when the kids disappear it's a cause for international concern, but all ends as it should. Some of the best moments in A Little Romance belong to Broderick Crawford, unselfconsciously playing "himself" at a movie party. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

EU Cracking Down On Card Payment Fees
BRUSSELS (AP) - The European Union's Commission is proposing legislation to cap some credit and debit card fees.
The 28-nation bloc's executive arm says limiting the fees paid by retailers to banks every time a consumer uses a card will result in annual savings of 6 billion euros ($7.9 billion) and lead to lower prices.
The so-called interchange fees would be capped at 0.2 percent of a transaction's value for debit cards and 0.3 percent for credit cards. The proposal still needs approval by the European Parliament and member countries.
Mastercard Inc. has warned the cap could lead to higher card fees for consumers, but EU Commissioner Michel Barnier dismissed that as an "unbearable campaign" of disinformation.
Separately, the Commission, as the EU's competition watchdog, is investigating fees charged by Mastercard and Visa.

A paper has just been released on the Windows Vista's gadget API. The
abstract is as follows:
Windows has had the ability to embed HTML into it's user interface for many
years. Right back to and including Windows NT 4.0, it has been possible to
embed HTML into the task bar, but the OS has always maintained a sandbox,
from which the HTML has been unable to escape. All this changes with Windows
Vista. This paper seeks to inform system administrators, users and the
wider community on both potential attack vectors using gadgets and the
mitigations provided by Windows Vista.

Bullying is a common childhood problem throughout the globe; it can produce significant anxiety and depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 20% of US high school children have been bullied. A new study by researchers at the University of Padua in Italy reported that a bullied child may develop a psychosomatic illness. Their results were published online on September 16 in the journal Pediatrics.
A psychosomatic illness is a disorder with physical symptoms that originate from mental or emotional causes. Thus, it involves both the mind and the body. A psychosomatic illness originates with emotional stress or damaging thought patterns, and progresses with physical symptoms, usually when a person's immune system is compromised due to stress. A common misconception is that a psychosomatic condition is imaginary, or "all in the head," However, the physical symptoms of psychosomatic conditions are real, and should be treated quickly, as with any other illness.
The researchers noted that a previous meta-analysis found that being bullied during childhood is related to psychosomatic problems; moreover, many other studies have been published since then, including some longitudinal (over time) studies. (A meta-analysis is a compilation of data from several studies to clarify a point.) The investigators performed a new meta-analysis to quantify the association between peer victimization and psychosomatic complaints in the school-aged population.
The investigators searched online databases up to April 2012, and bibliographies of retrieved studies and of narrative reviews, for studies that examined the association between being bullied and psychosomatic complaints in children and adolescents. The original search identified 119 unique studies, of which 30 satisfied the pre-stated inclusion criteria.
The study authors reviewed two separate random effects meta-analyses were performed on six longitudinal studies and 24 cross-sectional studies. The results of these studies showed that bullied children and adolescents have a significantly higher risk for psychosomatic problems than non-bullied age-mates. In the cross-sectional studies, the magnitude of effect size significantly decreased with the increase of the proportion of female participants in the study sample, meaning that a greater proportion of girls was related to less bullying. No other moderating factors were statistically significant.
The researchers concluded that the association between being bullied and psychosomatic problems was confirmed. Given that school bullying is a widespread phenomenon in many nations around the world, the present results indicate that bullying should be considered a significant international public health problem.
Take home message:
Parents may not be aware that their child is being bullied; however, if their child develops an illness for which a cause cannot be found, bullying should be suspected. Certain children are at a higher risk of being bullied than others, including those that seem different from their peers, those that are perceived to be weaker, those with depression, those with lack of self-esteem, those with fewer friends, and those who do not get along with others. Many autistic children and those with food allergies are subject to bullying. Bullying can occur at school, in the neighborhood, and not uncommonly on the Internet.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has a publication available online to help parents take action against bullying. It is available at this link.

Usually i have combination oily skin, and its also sensitive ( iam very fair), but i moved to a scandinavian country for a year and during the winter my skin got very irritated and dry. My cream made for oily skin didn´t work anymore. My sister used Hydra Zen so i decided to try it. Other creams i had tried for dry skins just made me break out. At first i was not sure i was going to like it as it was scented, and thought it might be irritable. However i love this cream, it moisturized my skin and the dry red patches disappeared. Though i still get the occasional break out, its far less than any other creams i tried for dry skin. I recommend this product even for combination and sensitive skin that can break out. Only draw back is how expensive this cream is in Europe. Its alot more reasonable in North America. If you are planning to travel for a long period to Europe, or Asia i recommend you buying it in USA or Canada first. On the coldest harsh days, about -20 i noticed my skin still gets irritated from the cold.Update.High price for this cream but i would get it again if i can get a discount, however would not buy this during summer as my skin is oilier and breaking out more which is a shame as i love how it makes the skin so soft and glowing like no other cream. Also the scent is so wonderful. Review was for the de stressing for dry skin not the neurocalm.

This is the review for Hydra Zen Advanced De-stressing Moisturizing Cream. Texture is very light cream that absorbs fast. Claimed for Normal/Dry/Very Dry skin, I was dryish when I used this, and the hydration it provides is pretty good, even though it's not really remarkable. I think very dry skin will not be happy with this. As other Lancome moisturizer I've tried, this leaves velvety soft and glowing skin, but overtime the softness/glow are gone, leaving no difference than if I use my drugstore moisturizer. Fragrance is kinda weird for me, but I can live with it. I don't have redness so I don't know how well this calms my skin, but overall I think this cream is very pricey for what it does. For the availability of anti-stressing/anti-polutant qualities, I still give it a 3.

I used the hydra zen cream for very dry skin. The first 3-4 weeks the cream was very good and felt destressing for my sencitive skin and I was very happy with the result. Then my face started to get irritated, feeling drier then before and suddenly I'm having a lot of black heads.
Would not purchase again!

My all time HG is aqua fusion gel-creme, but when I went to buy it the SA told me they didnt have any more in stock and then talked me into buying this. Well this is NOTHING like aqua fusion lets put it that way! AF sinks straight into my skin leaving it velvety smooth....this felt greasy and the fragrance was too strong. Also my face was feeling kinda dry after using tan on my face a lot over the week and this didnt do much in terms of moisturising. I used it as a night cream too, and woke up the next morning with red blemishes all over the tip of my nose and sides. would NEVER recommend this.

I am working in the buld with the air conditioner on yearly round. My skin is very dry and this product can't help at well. It doesnt deserve this much price
I really liked this cream. It's so refreshing. I have noticed my skin is much brighter and clearer. My skin feels so soft. I would defintely buy it again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This review is for the "very dry skin"-cream. My skin is so difficult to moisturize. It can't make it's mind up if it's dry or combination or even oily at times. Mostly it's just very sensitive, prone to random blotchiness and irritation. If a cream is too heavy my skin breaks out immediately. To make matters worse I live in a very cold, harsh climate with very dry indoor air. I had my reservations about this one since it's for very dry skin, it could have been a nightmare. Instead it's a dream come true. My skin simply behaves. No redness, no clogging, no breakouts, no dryness, no itching. NOT A THING IS WRONG!!!! My skin is soft, even, toned and happy! I love you Lancome!
