The DoctorWhen I was seven, I was diagnosed with emotions.The Doctor2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
"Poor girl." I heard them say. "She'll never survive this one."
I laid with my face towards the ceiling on the cold examination table, listening to them discuss my fate. I felt something breaking in my chest and something burning inside my throat. A small tear slipped down my cheek.
"Doctor! Look at this!" Shrieked my mother, "Something is coming out of her eye."
The doctor rushed over to me and wiped the tear from my cheek. He touched the top of my head as he whispered, "I am so sorry." And then he turned to my mother. "It's a tear. It means that she is sad."
"Sad?" My mother asked inquisitively.
"It's one of her emotions. This doesn't attack the same way that normal diseases do, there are all sorts of different symptoms. Right now, she is sad and the only way that I know how to explain it is that she is feeling down."
"What do you mean by down?"
"Her emotions can best be described as ones that are upwhen she is feeling good, and

I still work at the library even though you're not there.

She was holding memories so tightly that her hands started to burn. Each day a layer of skin would char and crumble. She swept the ash off and carried on.
Sometimes when she felt lonely, she would take old blankets and wrap herself in them. They smelled like the people who used them before her. They have absorbed their dreams, their feelings, their hearts. She liked to hear other peoples' dreams because she never had one herself.
She never felt quite at home. She worried about getting caught in a gust of wind and tossed down in a field somewhere, but secretly, she hoped for it.
She missed you. She wouldn't admit it, but I could see it in her face and hear it in her words.

He eats two slices of buttered toast and a small tumbler of orange juice. He dresses himself in a blue button-down with a striped tie and shines his shoes so that he can see his face. If it's cold out, he wears his black trench coat and if it isn't, he just wears his sport coat. He carries his briefcase every day, along with his umbrella. He can't forget his umbrella.

"Well, if there were no windows, I wouldn't have seen the lightning, right?"

The bus full of white collar commuters are too petrified to do anything. She is sure most of them were the friend in high school that would always tell the group that "you know, we really should get out of here now." But as they nervously look at each other, she knows that their minds are beginning to race with the possibilities, especially when they notice that he has left the keys in the ignition.

They never know which goodbye will be the last, or if any of them ever will be.

My voice quivered. Both of them looked up at me. Moms head was in Mums lap. Mum was slowly stroking her forehead, leaning down to kiss her forehead while still staring at me intently. A satanic bible was placed in Mums lap, the thin, withered pages torn in a few places from continued reading. You know you can talk to us about anything, Mom said, smiling, sitting up a bit straighter. She leaned over to kiss Mum, who kissed her back. I took a seat on the couch and pulled my knees up to my chin, staring down at my cuticles. Even for a guy, they were pretty nasty.
I took a deep breath. Guys? I dont really know how to say this but, I think Im heterosexual.

It must be nice to have someone's shoulder to cry on. Someone you can bitch to; someone who'll hold you when you're hurt. Not everyone has someone like that.
Some of us just have friends, only a few, whom we call best friends, but they don't say such things in return do they? No, because we aren't their best friend, we're just a friend. Or worse that weird person they hang out with.
You see they have someone else that they uncover their heart and soul too. Someone they've known since they were children; or someone they met several years ago and became inseparable. I envy them. I envy all of them.
Some of us don't get those people; some of us don't get relied upon. We aren't all so lucky. Some of us are shunned, through no fault of our own, or perhaps through only our own fault. It's a mystery that will always escape me.

We figure they are like that; bitter, forgotten cups of tea that we invested so much time in making. (We even give them names: Earl Grey, Peppermint, Breakfast Blend, and Chamomile.)
Chamomile was the first to go, clipping the hair above his ears, buttoning himself up inside a black pea coat, tying it all up with a noose-like scarf around his neck.
Inside we mourned, but outside we laughed about how silly this all was. As if the way he wore his hair determined his newfound spite. As if the pea coat was a rite of passage, a ticket to better things.
But then Breakfast Blend, Peppermint, and Earl Grey followed, sweeping locks of hair beneath the rug and buttoning four years inside their pea coats. (It

Half of this grove was gone with the sound of heavy machinery and a deafening crack of dry wood. No one put up a fight or showed any resistance to them. Trees don't cry. Not even when someone says something mean to them. Not even when they are lonely. Not even when a bulldozer runs them over.
I hope that when they do come for me, they will make me into something nice. Maybe a home for a nice, little family or a summer cottage on a lake. I wouldn't even mind being a chair or a park bench.

He goes to the stacks and pulls out a children's dictionary and whatever book he plans on reading that day. Today, it happens to be about Marine Biology.

We learned to live with it as everyone else had done for years. It did wonders for the city's rat population (which I hear took a sharp downfall when the rain first started), and if it weren't for the mud, it might almost be bearable.
I, however, had grown sick of it. There were only stories of sunshine now. Stories told late at night by my grandmother, or re-told with glorious anecdotes by my brother.

WHILE some people feel a compulsion to pour their hearts out to their cab driver, confessing to crimes apparently falls outside the bounds of cabbie/passenger confidentiality.
A Richmond man is one of two alleged thieves behind bars after bragging to their taxi driver about a purse snatching they had just committed in North Vancouver on Saturday night.
Police say the men boarded a North Vancouver bus and sat down next to a woman who was riding alone. After a few stops, one of the men snatched the woman's purse and the two bolted.
The alleged thieves then hailed a cab and headed to downtown Vancouver. During the trip, the suspects regaled their driver with tales of their exploits, and showed him the woman's purse and what appeared to be a handgun.
As soon as he dropped off the pair, the cabbie called 9-1-1 to report the incident. However, one of the men had already drawn the attention of Vancouver police and was arrested on Granville Street for breach of probation.
Investigators in Richmond caught up with the second suspect on Monday night. After a search of his home, Richmond RCMP found a replica pistol.
Travis William Nofield, a 19-year-old Langley resident, is facing charges of robbery and possession of stolen property as well as breach of probation.
Richmond resident Edward Gerald McKay, 26, is being held on charges of possession of property obtained by crime, using an imitation firearm during an offence, and possession of an imitation firearm for a dangerous purpose.
"It is gratifying to see a quick resolution to such a brazen robbery," said Cpl. Doug Trousdell, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP.
"Our investigators worked closely with our partners at the Vancouver Police Department and Richmond RCMP."

3D Soap Molds will cast a double sided, three dimensional bar of soap, just like commercial store bought bars. Each two-part mold features a convenient built-in funnel to facilitate filling of the mold, also featured is a precision channel designed to align the two mold halves together, and eliminate leaking. Two Heavy Duty Rubber Bands are included with each two-part soap mold, which are used to hold the mold tightly together during use.
These molds have been successfully tested with glycerin temperatures of up to 194°F without warping, it is recommended to pour your soap base at as low of a temperature as possible, which will increase the mold's working life. Typical unmolding time for Melt and Pour soaps is 24 hours, for Cold Process soaps 48-60 hours. Any of these 3D soap molds would be perfect for creating the classic Soap on a Rope.

Hi everybody,
So I've been surfing for the past week and I've been having trouble pivoting my board when a wave comes. I've started to get sitting on the board down, but pivoting has been terrible. I wanted to see what you guys suggest.
By the way, I've been using a funboard (8 feet). I've tried to raise the nose of my board up and yank it but I always end up falling. I searched the forums here and someone said to just rotate your arms and legs on one side. What do you guys do?

Southern Edge
by Barbara Temperton
Price $24.95
- About the Book
'… these poems are alive in characterisation, imagery and sheer sound and they plunge on with their stories of love, madness, murder and mystery, all set in the booming sea-world of coastal south-western Western Australia and the Kimberley coast.' — Julian Croft, Westerly v54:1
'Verse narrative is easy to do badly and hard to do well – stories like these have to have the right balance of mythic resonance and elliptical, hermeneutical suspense. Southern Edge adds to the small group of successful Australian works in that genre: it's a gem and a real surprise.' — Australian Poetry Review
In this collection of three long narrative poems, Temperton conjures up the highs and lows of the coastal environment to explore the effects of nature's "Powerful forces at work" on human existence.
An impressive third collection written with flair, passion and the ability to look unpleasant realities in the eye.

Today was just not my day for running.
This morning I set out on a 12 mile run with a friend. The sun was out and the weather was perfect- high 40s/low 50s. It was a perfect Sunday to go for a run outside.
I guess no one told my body. The first half of the run was good. I was feeling okay and we were keeping a good pace- 8:30s. The second half of the run and the hills were a little bit harder. My head was in the game and so were my legs but my stomach and butt muscles were on the bench.
I was a little more sore from my Saturday work out than I thought. My glutes were burning from the start which made the run a little tougher. Must have been the one legged squats yesterday that caused all the soreness in my butt. Thank you Life Time Fitness
My stomach also has been a little "weird" this weekend. Not sure why. Maybe I was dehydrated. Sometimes these weird little annoyances come up and they make workouts a little more challenging. You just have to work through them. No pain, no gain…right?
The good news is I finished our 12 mile run and survived…I always do.
So What Got me Through it-
- A Good Friend- Having a running buddy always makes it better.
- Mind Over Matter- I have ran 26.2 miles before, I think I can finish 12.
- Pure Determination- I just wanted to finish.
- Being Greatful- There are some people out there who physically can't run and I am lucky to be strong and healthy.
- I Stuck with my Plan- I told myself I was going to run 12 miles today and I did!
Now to the Yummy Part- Post Run Fuel
My new favorite food combination is plain Greek Yogurt and peanut butter. It sounds a little weird but trust me, it's delicious!
With my new favorite food combo, I put together this bad boy! A Greek Yogurt, Peanut Butter, Banana, Almond Whole Wheat Wrap.
It is super easy and filled with good protein.
All You Need:
- One Whole Wheat Medium Tortilla
- 1/2 a Banana
- A Handful of Plain Almonds
- A Huge Spoonful of Greek Yogurt
- A Big Spoonful of Peanut Butter
I recommend spreading the peanut butter on the wheat wrap first and then the Greek Yogurt. I did it the opposite way and It was a little difficult. Slice your banana and sprinkle the slices and almonds on the wrap. Fold everything together and in 1 minute you have the perfect snack!
Cheers to Hard Runs and Peanut Butter/Greek Yogurt Treats!

Sprint Showdown updates
JAMIE MCMURRAY: "Obviously, being out front is massive ... Starting in the back is going to be completely different. I haven't run behind a car yet ... It's going to be really hard to pass cars. I think there will be a lot of strategy in the pits."
"These cars have so much grip that it is going to be hard to pass the guy out front."
RICKY STENHOUSE: "We wanted to win that thing. I thought we had a car yesterday that was going to be capable of running up front for the lead. We'll take second and give ourselves an opportunity to keep working on it and see if we can't figure out some things for next week. The more laps, the better for me in a Cup car. We're excited about it."
DANICA PATRICK: "Well, obviously first and foremost, thank you to all of the fans who voted for me or voted so many times for me. I'm very fortunate to have the fan base that I do. I never forget that. Thanks to the Sprint Fan vote ... It's a big honor. This is for the fans. God, I'm going to sound really cheesy right now. I'm going to race for the fans tonight because I really, really got done with that race and feel really fired up. I wanted to make passes and make my way up and do what I could to get in one of those first two positions. I didn't do that. I feel I owe it to them to put on a good show or better show in the All-Star Race."
Lap 40: Jamie McMurray leads all 40 laps of the Sprint Showdown, taking the checkered flag for the event. Ricky Stenhouse edges Jeff Burton for second place. Both drivers transfer to the All-Star Race. Danica Patrick also transfers in via winning the fan vote.

I'm using Ultraedit on a Windows PC and on a Mac with Mountain Lion.
I've noticed that there is an extremely high scrolling sensitivity for my Magic Mouse when working in Ultraedit. The slightest touch of the mouse will send me tens of lines down or up, which makes working with the magic mouse in UE very frustrating when trying to select lines of code. The weird thing is that this scrolling behavior is not displayed in other programs on the Mac, Like MsWord or other text editors. Actually the only program where this is an issue is UE. So somehow this seems to be related to UE.
It's so bad that I have to use the trackpad to be able to work in UE on the Mac.
Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a solution available? I'd rather turn scrolling off altogether through the "3rd mousebutton" in UE than to keep being frustrated with the jumping around lines of code.
Thanks and regards,

So we went down in the middle of a nor'easter, it was raining the whole weekend and we were pretty much trapped in our room. Not at all the inn's fault,... but thankfully it was still an awesome weekend. I guess God's plan was for me and my wife to just enjoy each other's company. We loved the inn and the service was great. When we go back to Cape May we'll be staying at Captain Mey's. by George from Philadelphia on 20/10/2013

The Magical Junk-Filled World of Jiří Barta
Watch three clips from Toys in the Attic on AWNtv!
Watching Jiří Barta's stop-motion masterpiece, Toys in the Attic, makes you realize that no amount of movie making budget can substitute for the power of a talented visionary with a clever story, a dedicated crew, a camera and an attic full of dusty old rubbish. Barta's film boasts neither sophisticated armatures nor 3D color printers, but rather, brilliant designs, rich characters and sets built from the oddest and most enchanting collection of household junk you've ever seen. Sometimes silly, sometimes creepy, but always interesting to watch, Toys in the Attic is a welcome reminder of the inherent visual storytelling power of stop-motion animation.
Originally completed in 2009, the film was licensed by Paris-based Eurocine Films in 2010. The English adaptation, written, casted and directed by Vivian Schilling, boasts a voice cast including Forest Whitaker, Joan Cusack and Cary Elwes. Toys in the Attic marks Barta's first U.S. theatrical release and the reviews have been extremely positive. The director recently talked with us about the inherent challenges of making animated films with lavish design and meager budget in the post-Soviet Czech Republic.
Dan Sarto: What was life like as an animator in Soviet-controlled Czechoslovakia?
Jiří Barta: Although our country was under Soviet influence and pressure for 40 years, the amount of Czechoslovakian animated film production was quite huge, about 250 projects every year. A large portion of that production was children's programming distributed for TV, while a smaller share of production was focused on individual projects such as animated shorts, which were shown in cinemas before a feature film or at film festivals.
Along with my colleagues, who were also directors, designers and animators, I primarily made short films when presented with an opportunity to produce my own stories. The censorship of Czechoslovakian film production was stronger with live action feature films than with animation, so my colleagues and I had a better chance to put our ideas into an art style that embraced our metaphors, symbols and hidden meanings. I know many of my colleagues elsewhere in Eastern Europe followed the same path into the field of animation. We took a big chance, and faced big challenges, finding a small amount of creative freedom within the big labyrinth of the government regime.
DS: What was the genesis of Toys in the Attic? What drew you to this story? Why choose this story over any others you may have been developing?
JB: I always have a few topics or scripts in my drawer which are waiting for a good and rich producer. Toys in the Attic originally was called Whose Birthday is it Today? It was one of my sleeping projects which I wrote many years ago with my colleague, screenwriter Edgar Dutka. I remember we were tired and frustrated from never-ending problems with my unfinished Golem so we decided to do something new, something light and joyful which would be more acceptable for producers and a children's audience.

Hi Dean, Of course each app is different, but i'm interested more in high throughput/low latency as it cannot harm apps which don't require this, but is absolutely necessary for apps which do require this level of performance. In this regard, myrinet is certainly the one i've heard the most about, but that doesn't preclude something else which is new and/or better. Also its unclear as to the effect of topology on a cluster of this size (one response i've received indicated that it may not be much of a factor). These interconnects are definitely not cheap though :) Matt > > Just looking for some information and/or recommendations on the various > > networking options available for building beowulfs.

No. 3 Kilgore takes JC as latest victim
Kilgore College's twin terrors — Jamarcus Weatherspoon and Stefan Moody — victimized Jacksonville College for a total of 45 points (61% of KC's total points), 34 of which came in the decisive second half, as the Rangers scored a 76-54 win over the Jaguars before an estimated crowd of 400 at the Curtis Carroll Fieldhouse Tuesday night.
Valiant Lady Jaguar comeback try falls short
A late comeback attempt by Jacksonville College fell a few points short as Kilgore College was able to hang on and escape Curtis Carroll Fieldhouse with a 64-59 triumph over the JC women on Tuesday evening. The game was the Region XIV opener for both outfits.
In a game that had more ups and downs than a kid on a pogo stick, KC (5-3, 1-0, Region XIV) opened the second half on a major roll and turned a four-point JC lead at the break into a 15-point, 57-42, KC advantage with 5:36 to go in the game. The huge Lady Ranger lead proved to me too high of mountain for the Lady Jags to climb.
Saurez dumps in 24 points in Lady Hornet's 32-31 win
Tanya Saurez poured in a season-high 24 points which proved to be enough to propel the New Summerfield Lady Hornets to a 32-31 win over Beckville Tuesday night at Hornet Gymnasium.
Big second half effort sends REL past Indians
Not too often would a basketball player with four-points play. Much less make a run for the game MVP.
The Jacksonville Indians found out the hard way that points means good basketball, however it was Tyler-Lee's, Caleb Johnston proved that it's the little things to win games.
The Robert E. Lee Red Raiders got a strong, 20-points from Rico Major and converted 15 of 22 free throws in the second half to lead to a 58-49, win over the Indians on Tuesday night at the REL Varsity Gymnasium.

My real concern with Obama's intent is his plan to control our 1st amendment rights as well as our 2nd.
Didn't you notice in his speech today he is beginning to work on the phrasing of our words that will allow him to remove your 2nd amendment right? Didn't you hear him say that those that dislike something and voice an opinion about it can now be susceptible to scrutiny. That your opinion or disdain can be construed as a 'hate crime" and your weapons will be confiscated.
Obama is not finished trying to take your weapons away. Nor is he through trying to take your Freedom of speech away either. And soon after he will come your Freedom to Assemble!
Obama is a snake slithering around you from all sides. Testing what he can get away with, each time gaining a new foothold from a different direction.
Beware! Each maneuver is designed to end America as we know it.
Remember his own words: He will "FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE AMERICA"!
That means literally, Obama is going after the Foundation of America and wants to CHANGE us to Socialism!

4.5/5I usually don't leave feedback on...
Posted April 22, 2013
I usually don't leave feedback on very many purchases, but I feel that this one deserves it. I am just a woodworking hobbyist I have used Freud router products in the past to build a few kitchens and these particular bits are top of the line. These Freud rail and stile bits are very adaptable to different dimensions of panel depth and panel location at least to the 1/64" (if not more accurate). I ordered my latest set of bits and unfortunately within my first pass, the braze that holds the carbide tips on the stile cutters failed. I called Freud directly and they said in very rare cases, this can happen. Well it happened to me. But Freud stood behind their product and was more than happy to replace their it, but they told me to give Rockler a call first since that is where I purchased the kit. I called Rockler, told them my situation, and they shipped me out a new set with a return label the same day and had me ship back the bad set. Although it was only the cutting tips on one bit, I was told that these sets are made to match and are only shipped as a complete set. I am very happy with the quality of this product and more impressed by the customer service that I received. It is one thing to get a quality product, but great customer service says something about the foundation of a company. Thank you Freud and Rockler!

Posted January 29, 2012
The panel bit 3-1/2 inch diameter is too large for my Rockler router table. This is something that I never considered when making a purchase decision. The directions that came with the set are Excellent and includes a mini-DVD. Either the directions or the DVD made me sufficiently prepared to start! together I felt very comfortable but now I need to find a new panel cove bit that works with my 3-inch diameter table.

Directed by George A. Romero (1968)
Starring: Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman, Keith Wayne, Judith Ridley, Kyra Schon
Ah, horror movie love. It's not something I'm terribly familiar with, to be honest. I don't really get the fans of Red Box Horror or the ladies who line up for midnight screenings of the Saw franchise. But what I do get is a love of the Zombie Movie Genre, and the modern incarnation all begins with the grainy 35mm Pittsburgh epic. My immediate reaction to Night of the Living Dead was movie-love, pure and simple.
Barbara (O'Dea) and her brother Johnny visit their father's grave on the night when radiation from a satellite effects the recent dead, causing them to reanimate and crave human flesh. When Johnny is killed, Barbara is able to escape to a farmhouse nearby, where she is joined by other survivors, including Ben (Jones). Ben takes care of Barbara as he fends off the approaching corpses. She has gone catatonic, only speaking occasionally as she follows Ben's orders.
Ben is by far my favorite character. Not only does he have a take-charge attitude, but he recognizes how the situation has messed up Barbara and approaches everything with a clear head. In contrast, the five others in the house with them, especially Harry (Hardman) who is too stubborn and prejudiced to agree to Ben's plans.
Meanwhile, our heroine is the opposite of these focused zombies and Ben. She's helpless, which riled up my feminist side, but as I understand it, they had altered the script to O'Dea's performance. In fact, it seems like Night of the Living Dead never had a set script, but instead moving along with a general plot and changing elements when necessary. When put in that context, it seems like a different creative work. Rather than some magnum opus, it can breathe and adjust itself as necessary, without losing much in terms of terror, and probably gaining more in subtext. Honestly, it just seems so appropriate for the American Independent Horror to have such a thrown-together production.
As much as the characters are trapped in the farm house while the dead stumble outside, they're not cut off from the world. There's a radio that Ben sets up, and eventually they get the television working. The news gives some explanation towards why the dead are reanimated, related to radiation from a satellite, but the explanation is largely unnecessary. It just gets thrown in as an easy explanation. The news broadcast then shifts to the local situation, showing that it's quite easy to kill the risen dead. Just aim for the head.
Not like that advice helps, when there are so many outside the farmhouse. The attempt to escape ends horrifically, though it was caused by human error rather than the undead. It was surprising to see how crafty the undead act and how determined they are to get to the humans. For zombies, they're pretty damn intelligent.
And it is damn scary, forty-three years later, in a gritty way that many have tried to replicate, but never quite match.

A professional organized (thanks Sylvia) I used to work with had a classification of people as either visual or camouflage:
It is helpful to know which type you are e.g. I am a visual which means if I can't see something it effectively does not exist. So e.g. I am not the most natural person to use a PDA, I've never used a tickler system since I know it would not work well for me, my work area at home has no drawers (except the filing cabinet) and I actually took the doors off of a home closet at one point to some benefit.
***I can put something out of sight if their will be an inner prompt to look for it*** e.g. I need underwear and it is in the closed closet, I need paper and I know I keep supplies in the bottom drawer. But unless a visual develops a strong habit e.g. OK every morning I will check the tickler file, OK every morning and throughout the day I will check my PDA, it would not work, or at least not be an easy fit.

misprision of a felony

Taking affirmative steps to hide the fact of another's felony. Merely remaining silent when one knows of a felony is not a misprision, but hiding evidence or intentionally misleading law enforcement could be.

Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks is emphasizing that his players live up to the team's expectations, not those of outsiders. (Clarence Tabb, Jr. / Detroit News)
Auburn Hills � The new-look Pistons aren�t exactly under the radar coming into the season, at least according to NBA league executives.
The league�s 30 general managers ranked the Pistons as the most improved team in NBA.com�s annual preseason survey, putting Detroit ahead of Brooklyn, Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, New Orleans and Washington.
Brooklyn and Houston made arguably the biggest splashes of the offseason, with the Nets bringing in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and the Rockets landing the biggest free agent of the summer in Dwight Howard.
But both teams made the playoffs last year while the Pistons missed the postseason for the fourth straight year. This past offseason, Detroit added Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings, along with six other new faces.
New Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks isn�t buying into the hype �and it�s likely he�s passing that message along to the rest of his players.
�I can�t speak to it; we�re just going out and playing the way we can play,� Cheeks said. �Not about someone putting this or that on us. It�s good, but our expectations are for ourselves. It sounds good, but we can only do what we can do.�
The Pistons were also ranked ahead of Washington and Cleveland, two teams they�ll likely go heads-up against for playoff spots. The Pistons defeated the Wizards, 99-96, Tuesday night in an exhibition game and will begin their season a week from Wednesday against Washington at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Whether it�s with a target on their backs or if they�re not getting much attention at all, Cheeks prefers to focus on the progress, which is tough to ascertain because of injuries to Jennings and Rodney Stuckey.
�We are who we are, whether we�re under the radar or not,� Cheeks said. �We have to go out and play, we have a schedule to play and everybody�s gonna try and beat us. I like where we are.�
