Sorry for the wait!
Chapter Seven Drowning sorrows in wine
The bed was indeed very big. The sheets were white, the bedding brand new. The moment they walked in, Widow Hua immediately lay down on the bed.
Lu Xiaofeng remained standing at the head of the bed.
Widow Hua scrutinised him from head to toe with her misty eyes, then suddenly said: By now you should know that Im that scary Widow Hua. Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
Naturally youd have heard that Im a b.itch, a man-eating one, she continued.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded again.
Do you know people here think I can sleep with them anytime?
Lu Xiaofeng still nodded his head.
Widow Huas eyes seemed to mist over. So why arent you jumping into bed?
Lu Xiaofeng did not even move.
You dont dare?
Lu Xiaofeng did not nod his head, but he did not shake it either.
Widow Hua sighed and said: Of course you dont dare, because you dont even know who I am!
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled. There are not many who can merge the zhenqi of the Liu Family of Huainan and Diancang Sects Flowing Cloud Swordplay, so
So, what? Widow Hua asked.
So you must be Liu Qingqing, the Huainan Heros woman, and the wife of the Diancang swordsman.
Do you know too that I have slept with Xie Jians four best friends?
Lu Xiaofeng admitted that, since it was such a scandal to begin with.
Since you know everything, why dont you come to bed? she asked.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: Because I dont want to, and because its none of your business.
Widow Hua laughed. Looks like youre quite different from other men.
She suddenly leapt from the bed. Come, Ill treat you to a drink.
As they started getting tipsy, the mist in her eyes seemed to deepen as well.
Precisely because the valley was always shrouded in mist, that was why it was able to preserve its aura of mystery.
Was it not the same for her as well?
It was probably not too difficult to see her naked body, but it was much harder to guess what was in her heart.
After another cup of wine, she suddenly asked: Do you know why Hai Qikuo always wants me to sleep with him?
Because he thinks you have slept with the other men here.
Widow Hua smiled. Every one thinks that way, but the number of men Ive slept with, I think not even you can guess.
Not even one in this place?
Only one, Widow Hua said.
Lu Xiaofeng started drinking.
Widow Huas gaze seemed very faraway, as though there was a faintly discernible figure in the distance; her gaze was filled with love and adoration.
Aftter a long while, she snapped out of her reverie: Why did you not ask me who this person is?
Why should I ask? Lu Xiaofeng said.
Widow Hua smiled. You are indeed a unique person. I like unique men.
Her smile suddenly vanished: Xie Jian was a very unique man as well. I married him because I really liked him at that time.
But you changed later on, Lu Xiaofeng said.
It was not I who changed, it was him, she said.
A slit appeared through the mist in her eyes, sliced by a sword full of hatred and anguish. You will never be able to imagine what kind of person he had turned into, much less the terrifying things he had done.
Terrifying? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Do you know why I slept with his friend? Widow Hua asked. Her fists clenched and tears rolled down her cheeks. Because because he wanted me to do it, he liked to watch he even knelt and begged me to, even threatened me with his sword
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly averted his gaze, downed his cup of wine. He suddenly felt his gut clenching and he almost felt like vomiting.
When he turned around again, Widow Hu had quietly wiped away the tearstains on her face.
She too downed her cup of wine: You must be wondering why I am telling you these things.
Lu Xiaofeng did not feel it was strange, not at all.
When one is feeling grief and anguish, and these emotions have been suppressed for too long, one is wont to find someone else to confide in.
Even though Widow Hua had managed to vent her pain, she was getting tipsier: Hes an old man now, but he is a real man, an extraordinary one. Even if I dont love him, I respect him. So long as I can make him happy, I am willing to do anything.
She raised her head and gazed at Lu Xiaofeng: When you meet him, you will like him too.
Lu Xiaofeng could not resist asking: You mean
I am talking about Old Sabre Honcho, Widow Hua said.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked. Old Sabre Honcho?
Widow Hua nodded and said: He is the only man for me here. I know you couldnt have imagined that. She smiled, a desolate one: I had thought no one in this world would be able to understand me or sympathise with me, but he understands me and sympathises with me, and it is genuine.
So you gave yourself to him? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
I can sacrifice everything for him, Widow Hua said. Even if he tells me to die, I will die. But but
She did not continue. Such emotion was not something that could be put into words, and she knew Lu Xiaofeng would understand.
Lu Xiaofeng could understand, all right. Not only that, but he could also understand Old Sabre Honcho the person.
If I were you, I would have done the same, he said gently. I think he must be an extraordinary man.
Widow Hua let out a long breath, as though she had just set down a very heavy burden. To know that there is still someone in this world who understands your pain and anguish is still a pretty good thing.
She gazed at Lu Xiaofeng, her eyes filled with gratitude and gratification. Ever since coming here, Ive not been so happy like I am today. Here, Ill toast you, three times.
Well be drunk if we drink more.
Whats the worry? She raised her cup. If I could get drunk, Id be really grateful to you.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed. To be honest, Id long wanted to get rip-roaring drunk, just this once.
So they ended up being drunk on the bed.
They held each other, mumbling words in their drunken stupor that other people would never be able to understand, because in their hearts they were lonely and had too many knots they were unable to untangle.
Although they were holding each other tightly, their hearts were pure like a childs; there was probably no other time in their lives that they were so pure and honest.
What then was this sort of feeling?
Youth was dying and the past was best left forgotten. A woman who had suffered abuse and humiliation, a man with no roots who on this earth could understand your feelings?
Both of you have been driven into such circumstances, but since you have met, why should you need other people to understand your feelings?
Outside the window, the night was deep, and so was the fog.
The window was not closed tightly and in the cold fog there suddenly appeared a figure, whose eyes were filled with enmity, jealousy and hatred.
Then, through the crack in the window, there appeared a blowpipe.
A black blowpipe, puffing out dark purple smoke.
The fog dissipated, and even those who were not drunk were now intoxicated, they had no choice.
This person was confident of it, because what he used was the Bone and Soul Corroding Powder, the most effective of intoxicating drugs. He had used it thirteen times it had never failed him.
Hurrah, thank you Junny! More talking about the old sabre honcho.. When do we get to meet him?
Thanks Junny

LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Barack Obama made an election-season appeal Saturday to disgruntled liberal activists and bloggers, assuring them his administration is committed to their causes and urging them to help elect Democrats in November.
"Change hasn't come fast enough for too many Americans. I know that," Obama said in a surprise video appearance at the annual Netroots Nation convention. "I know it hasn't come fast for many of you who fought so hard during the election."
In a year when Democrats are expected to lose seats in Congress, party leaders have grown concerned with malaise in the left wing. Liberals who helped elect Obama in 2008 have grown disenchanted on issues from the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the failure to create a government-run insurance option in the health care overhaul, and many believe the White House has been too accommodating with Republicans.
In his remarks, the president said the combat mission in Iraq would soon end, and that the administration is working to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for gays and close the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay.
"In ways large and small we've begun to deliver on the change you fought so hard for," Obama said.
"We cant afford to slide backward. And that's the choice America faces this November," he added. "Keep up the fight."
Hundreds of activists and bloggers applauded warmly after the video ended, but some were not appeased.
The video "doesn't really change my views. I'm still waiting for action," said Matthew Filipowicz, 33, a cartoonist and comedian from Chicago. "Words only do so much."
Obama's video was introduced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who received a standing ovation from most of the people in the cavernous, partly filled auditorium at a Las Vegas casino.
In her remarks, Pelosi referred to "differences of opinions," and like Obama ticked off legislative victories like the health care overhaul and broad reform of the U.S. banking and financial sector.
Echoing the president, she asked the crowd to recognize what's been achieved in Washington since Obama's election and not let differences cause a political fissure.
The day after the election "we want to have no regrets," Pelosi said.
When asked a question about the military policy on gay servicemembers, someone shouted from the audience.
"Your impatience is justified," Pelosi said.
Just two days after Senate Democrats gave up plans to attempt to pass an energy bill that caps greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, Pelosi said "this is not an issue the Senate can walk away from."
The plan was a priority of Obama, who had hoped to add a climate bill to his list of legislative successes.
"We'll welcome whatever the Senate can pass to reduce our dependence on foreign oil," Pelosi said. "Sooner or later this has to happen."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was slated to speak at the convention Saturday afternoon. Reid faces Republican and tea party favorite Sharron Angle this November in his bid to keep representing Nevada.

Only version in itunes is 1.0. I have downloaded books, but the player says not downloaded. All forums say version 2.1 fixes issues, but I can't find version 2.1.
Only version in itunes is 1.0. I have downloaded books, but the player says not downloaded. All forums say version 2.1 fixes issues, but I can't find version 2.1.
The iPhone release is the first release for the iPhone. It does not yet have all the same features that are available in the Android release.
We have had a number of users report issues with downloading books using the iPhone player, but then not being able to play the book. We have temporarily pulled the application from the iPhone market until we determine what is causing this problem. We hope to have an updated version out soon which will fix this problem that some people are seeing where the books that are downloaded cannot be played.
We have spent some time tracking down the cause of the problems people are seeing with the iPhone version. It appears that some of the problems are because in several places the use of controls on the iPhone version are not obvious. The iPhone does not have MENU or BACK buttons like the Android does, so things which were on these Android buttons show up in different ways in the iPhone version.
One of the biggest causes of confusion seems to be that to select a book to listen to from the library you currently have to press the > character shown after the book title. Pressing on the book title brings up a menu with several items, but the menu does not include a play option. If you press the > symbol then the book will be correctly selected for playing. We are now adding the "Play" option to the menu so that you can select the book for playing either way.
There are some locations where you end up on a screen and can't find a way to get back (the Android always had the handy BACK button). In these cases you currently have to select something on the screen which will bring up a menu and one of the items on the menu will be back. We will be adding a back button that is visible on these screens.
Many of these user interface problems can be worked around once you figure out what you have to click.
We have also found an issue where the automatic bookmarks are not being created when you move around in the book without pressing the pause button, and an issue where pressing the "Author" tab in the library causes part of the books to be hidden until you select a different tab.
We will release a new version soon with these problems fixed. I appreciate your feedback. Any additional feedback on areas where the iPhone version is not working well would also be appreciated.
As you mentioned this is a version 1.00 release and it has turned out that there are a number of things which are not working correctly. We hope to have addressed most of these issues in the next release.
v1.1 of the iPhone player has been released which fixes the majority of the problems found in the initial iPhone release. This version works much better than the first version did.
v1.1 is now available for download from the Apple App Store for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
v1.1 does have two known issues. 1) The manual bookmark button does not always save the correct book location (the automatic bookmarks do all work correctly), and 2) the player will not jump to a bookmarked location while it is paused (you have to start playing and then select the bookmark that you want to jump to).
Both of these issues have been fixed in a new version which was submitted to Apple last week and is currently in the queue waiting for Apple's approval to be released. It seems to take Apple 7 to 10 days to approve an update for release, so we are expecting that the version with these bookmark issues fixed should be available around the middle of next week.

$Id: readme.txt,v 1.2 2010/11/01 13:45:41 samn Exp $ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neocortical Column Demo Readme -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains the source code from the paper: Synaptic information transfer in computer models of neocortical columns. Article by SA Neymotin, KM Jacobs, AA Fenton, and WW Lytton Journal of Computational Neuroscience (2010), in press. PubMed ID 20556639. It allows simulating the activity of a neocortical column using conductance- based neurons. In addition, NEURON vector implementations of normalized transfer entropy are provided in infot.mod. For more information on methods used, please see the paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compilation/running instructions (LINUX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will need the NEURON simulator in order to run this simulation. It is available for download at http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/ Detailed installation instructions are available there as well. Once you have NEURON installed you will need to compile the .mod files included in the zip file. To do so first extract the contents of the zip file into a single flat directory. If you are on LINUX/UNIX then run nrnivmodl *.mod from the command line to compile the .mod files. If this is done properly, an executable named 'special' will be produced in the x86_64 subdirectory (on 64 bit machines) or x86 subdirectory on 32 bit machines. (If you are using WINDOWS this is not guaranteed to work but try the instructions at: http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/docs/nmodl/mswin.html for more information on compiling new mechanisms into NEURON .) Next, to run the simulation enter the following command at the command prompt: ./x86_64/special (or ./x86/special ) This will begin the NEURON simulator. You will then be at the NEURON command prompt which should look like this: oc> Type load_file("mosinit.hoc") and press enter. This will start the neocortical column simulation. A GUI window will be displayed that will allow running the simulation and displaying output consisting of: 1. spike raster 2. local field potential 3. voltage of several cells with different dynamical properties -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For questions/comments/collaborations please contact Samuel Neymotin at samn at neurosim dot downstate dot edu or Bill Lytton at billl at neurosim dot downstate dot edu

Debate enthusiasts will love this long, but worthy video showing Texas A&M atmospheric scientist Andy Dessler mopping the floor with his increasingly out-of-touch colleague from MIT, Dick Lindzen.
The fact of Dessler's victory is a value judgment that you may not trust without watching the video yourself. But speaking of value judgments, Dessler got off a great shot during his rebuttal, in which he commented on how often Lindzen had said that climate change presents "no cause for alarm."
That, Dessler pointed out, is also a value judgment - not a scientific finding, adding:
"Before the lecture, he (Prof. Lindzen) was smoking. That's a risk. He's decided that's a risk he's willing to take. But not everybody would take that risk, so when he says there's no cause for concern, he's giving you his value judgment."
Proceeding beyond the degree to which Lindzen has bad breath - as well as bad judgment - the lecture hosts at the University of Virginia School of Law jumped in with two policy presenters, Jonathan Cannon, making all kinds of sense, and Jason Johnston bending over backwards to argue that because economists can't accurately put a cost on the coming climate armageddon, we shouldn't bother taking out any insurance to prevent it. (Pass that man a pack of Camels. It'll make it easier for him to blow smoke in the future.)
- Richard Littlemore's blog

I was intrigued by your headline comments, so I watched the video. I thought that Lindzen made a number of interesting points in his presentation, and that Dessler's "rebuttal" was weak. He took issue with errors in Lindzen and Choi's paper and Lindzen indicated that the errors had been corrected, and had not affected his conclusions. I did not see that Dessler disputed that. Second, Dessler's citation of Sherwood's paper deriving temperatures from winds was bizarre. Measured temperatures don't support your hypothesis so you turn to an indirect measure? I think Lindzen was justifiably scornful.
I thought Lindzen's presentation style was deliberate and relaxed and Dessler was a bit worked up. His citation of Lindzen's smoking was petty and unprofessional. I don't think the video supports your opinion.
I simply can't imagine anyone thinking this debate was a clear win for either side. I'd be happy to watch a second debate to see how this progresses.
I'd also be happy to read a detailed explanation of how this was a clear win for Dessler.
The reference (to the debate) came from the AGW proponent side of the climatedebatedaily website page, and as such the debate is introduced as being a complete overthrow of the skeptic (Lindzen) by the AGW proponent (Dessler). I quote: "In a recent debate the atmospheric scientist Andy Dessler mopped the floor with his increasingly out-of-touch climate-skeptic colleague from MIT, Dick Lindzen" .
How anyone could arrive at such a conclusion after watching this is totally beyond me! If the debate "competition" criteria were speech velocity, decibel level, emotional level, or anxiety level, then yes the AGW proponent side wins. But if we select our winner by taking the debater with the most credible arguments, I would have to say that Lindzen wins hands down.
Unfortunately, too many of the high profile discussions that I come across these days on this subject revolve around the myriad ways to measure and interpret evidence with various statistical methods and inferences, or worse yet, too many discussions rely upon the distracting politics of it all............................a sore lack of the underlying scientific logic to either support or refute the AGW hypothesis.
Note that I say "hypothesis", since AGW proponents don't even have enough to warrant calling it a "theory".

EVEN before he began sketching the redesign of a best-selling mini audio component system, the kind that is basic operating equipment for millions of teenagers and young adults, Justin Jakobson, a 24-year-old designer for Sony, knew his target customer: young and male, like him. So as he roughed out the system's contours and surface details, he took time to incorporate aggressive, hard-edged elements into its black-and-silver profile.
While he worked on the project at Sony Electronics' design center here, the invasion of Iraq was playing out on his portable television. Gradually, the stereo system's already muscular appearance began to include speaker guards inspired by F-15 fighter jets, along with other hard-boiled aesthetics.
''I wanted a very open design so you could see the speakers,'' Mr. Jakobson said of the system. ''It's a very visible image of power.''
But not everything issuing from that low-slung suburban office building, where teams help define a Sony look for products from television sets to CD players, takes that high-octane approach. An ultra-slim stereo system called the Sony Liv Slim CD BoomBox is sleek where Mr. Jakobson's is bulky, smooth where his is hyperarticulated, and comes in white with lime-green and silver accents.

New History Course to Explore
American Indian History
In Winter 2007, Dr. Douglas Dodd will offer a new course, HIST 467: American Indian History. This course will examine the history and culture of Native Americans north of Mexico, from the colonial period to the present. It will emphasize cooperation and conflict in relations between American Indians and Euro-Americans, the evolution of the United States government's Indian policies, and Indians' long struggle to survive—both physically and culturally—in the face of Euro-American conquest. American Indian History satisfies the Gender, Race, and Ethnicity course required for both graduation and the history B.A.

My name is Gloria. I received a B.S. in Physics and a minor in Mathematics from SUNY Plattsburgh in December 2004. If you asked me what the most important lesson I received from Plattsburgh was, I would say that Plattsburgh prepared me with a passionate heart and strong desire to advance to the next step of the journey. I had the opportunity to work one-on-one with my physics professors. I appreciated that the program offered me the flexibility and independence to explore physics and mathematics.
After graduation, I studied for my Master's in a one-year Master of Engineering Management Program (MEMP) at Duke University. My classmates comprised top-notch students from around the globe. This past year, I learned essential concepts of entrepreneurship, leadership, creativity, and teamwork. I am continuously seeking for more education and working opportunities to enhance my career. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."
While at Plattsburgh State I majored in Physics and minored in Music and Mathematics. I spent my free time working in the Northcountry Planetarium under Dr. Glenn Myer, my advisor, and being a Teaching Assistant for introductory Physics and Astronomy classes. I also spent two summers doing research at the Maria Mitchell Observatory in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
After graduating, I attended Stony Brook University. I took graduate physics classes, education classes, and did research at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In December 2005, I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Teaching Physics.
I am currently employed as a teacher at Curtis High School in New York City, teaching both Regents Earth Science and Physics.

Have been screen printing some new vintage car shopper bags in red along with my sausage dog shoppers, now available in turquoise from my website for £5 each. The bags are 100% natural unbleached cotton.

All my screen prints are now reduced
A few months ago I was advised by several contemporary galleries to drastically increase my prices as I was told I was far too cheap for the gallery market. I found this very difficult to do as I like my work to appeal to the public in general, not just the expensive gallery market. After much consideration, I've now gone back to my old prices. I feel in hind sight that I was ill advised. Jane

Alexandre Dumas: The Three Musketeers63. THE DROP OF WATER (continued)"And me," said Athos, "--she is my wife!" D'Artagnan smiled--for he understood that Athos was sure of his vengeance when he revealed such a secret. Porthos and Aramis looked at each other, and grew pale. Lord de Winter thought Athos was mad. "Now, retire to your chambers," said Athos, "and leave me to act. You must perceive that in my quality of a husband this concerns me. Only, d'Artagnan, if you have not lost it, give me the paper which fell from that man's hat, upon which is written the name of the village of--" "Ah," said d'Artagnan, "I comprehend! that name written in her hand." "You see, then," said Athos, "there is a god in heaven still!" This is page 725 of 757. [Marked] This title is on Your Bookshelf. Buy a copy of The Three Musketeers at Amazon.com

Do you blog? We do and with millions upon millions scattered throughout cyberspace, a more accurate question today is "Why DON'T you blog?" It can be fun, informative and, for several lucky college students, seriously beneficial to their futures (and wallets).
Lenovo's University of Bloggers is hosting a bloggers contest, where each contestant will create a goal-oriented blog in which they will document their progress toward whichever goal they choose. The winner will receive $20,000 but prizes will also be given to nine runner-up bloggers. You just have to be over the age of 18, enrolled in an accredited college and enter by October 1st to be considered. Not too shabby!
For more information on this scholarship, click here or conduct a scholarship search on our site for others like it. Good luck, bloggers!

Yes, there still may be a few weeks left of summer but it's not too early to start thinking about what's to come in the months ahead. For high school seniors, that often means college applications and searching for ways to pay for further education without breaking the bank. Scholarships are an excellent way to do this… especially when a single scholarship can make a significant dent in funding your education.
Need more proof? Check out the AXA Achievement Scholarship. Here are the details: The AXA Achievement Scholarship awards $670,000 annually. Fifty two students – one from each state, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico – receive scholarships of $10,000. Of those 52 students, 10 students are chosen as national winners and receive an additional $15,000 scholarship award and the opportunity for an internship with AXA Equitable. Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate ambition and drive, determination to set and reach goals and the ability to succeed in college.
The deadline is December 15th but for more information on this and other scholarships, conduct a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com.

Hey, you. The one with the sketchpad full of doodles, memory card filled with images and computer crammed with creations. Yes, YOU. Want to score a college scholarship and help out your school at the same time? Of course you do, because in addition to being wildly talented, you're also a good person. Here's what you need to do to make a difference in your life (a $1,000 scholarship) and the lives of others ($5,000 for your school's music program and 5 HP Pavilion dv6z laptops for your school's art program) with the Make Art. Save Art. Scholarship from DoSomething.org.
Like the award, the requirements are also in two parts. First, create a PC wallpaper using either your photographic, graphic design or traditional visual art skills and tell DoSomething.org why you think art education is important and why it should continue to be part of the curriculum. Next, upload your original work to Facebook and Twitter and see how many people share your design. Each time someone shares what you created, you're one step closer to victory so use any and all connections you have to ensure your art is seen. And if a scholarship and funds for the arts aren't enough, the winning designs will be available for download as PC wallpapers and featured on DoSomething.org.
There are many talented artists out there but only one entrant age 25 or younger will receive this excellent award. For more information, visit www.makeartsaveart.org and for other scholarships like it, conduct a free scholarship search at Scholarships.com.

Finding enough funding for college is hard but that task is made even more difficult when college scholarship committees require applicants to meet countless requirements, fill out stacks of forms and write lengthy essays to even be considered. Well, College Prowler isn't most scholarship committees and it's doing things a little differently with its $2,000 No Essay Scholarship.
The folks at College Prowler know students are busy and that times are pretty tough for a lot of people right now…but that's precisely why they've created an incredibly easy way to give back to those who need it. All applicants have to do is complete a brief profile, hit submit and voila, they could win $2,000 to put toward tuition, housing, meal plans, books, computers or any education-related expenses. To apply, please visit http://scholarships.com/scc.aspx?pid=703 or complete a scholarship search to find additional opportunities.

Writing three sentences and banking $1,000 to put toward college may seem like a dream but it is indeed a reality with the Three Sentence Essay from Zinch. Though many essay scholarships have word count requirements in the hundreds or thousands, Zinch caps theirs at 280 characters – the equivalent of two Twitter postings – and requires applicants to respond to a prompt that changes on a weekly basis.
All high school and college students (including international students) are eligible to participate so go ahead and check out the prompt, think about it some and submit a concise yet thoughtful answer worthy of $1,000 by midnight tonight. And remember, Scholarships.com has thousands more scholarships to choose from…all you have to do is fill out a profile and launch a scholarship search today!

Every little bit of financial aid helps when figuring out how to pay for college but this next scholarship – our Scholarship of the Week – will be of more than just a little assistance to the winner. How does $30,000 sound?
The VFW's Voice of Democracy Scholarship Contest is an annual nationwide audio essay competition designed to give all high school students the opportunity to voice their opinion on their responsibility to our country. This year's topic is "Does My Generation Have a Role in America's Future?" and students should record their reading of the draft (at least three minutes but no more than five minutes) to a CD. Entrants should then submit their CD, typed essay and an official Voice of Democracy entry form to their local VFW Post today (November 1st). Former first place state Voice of Democracy winners and high school students over the age of 19 are not eligible. US Citizenship is not required, although students must be permanent residents of the U.S.

Just because your GPA is less than 4.0 doesn't mean you don't deserve the same chance at scholarship awards as your higher-ranked classmates.
Cappex's "A GPA Isn't Everything" Scholarship proves just that by awarding $1,000 to high school seniors or students planning on attending college within the next 12 months. We know it sounds too good to be true but it's no scam – none of the scholarships listed on our site are – so complete your scholarship application before the November 30th deadline.

I know what you're probably thinking – a college scholarship centered around beef?! – but hear me out…it could put $1,500 in your savings account for your college education!
The National Cattlemen's Foundation Beef Industry Scholarship awards 10 scholarships of $1,500 to outstanding students pursuing careers in the beef industry. It's not necessary to own a pair of overalls, have a close four-legged friend named Bessie or even consider meat a diet staple to apply – fields of study may include education, communications, production and research – as long as the panel feels you are talented, thoughtful and will emerge as a leader in the industry (classes, internships and life experiences are big pluses).
To be considered for this scholarship, you must be a graduating high school senior or full-time undergraduate student enrolled at a two or four-year institution for the 2010-2011 school year. Applicants must then write a one-page letter expressing/indicating future career goals related to the beef industry as well as write an essay in 750 words or less describing an issue confronting the beef industry and offer a solution. Two letters of recommendation, proof of full-time enrollment and a cover page are also required. All materials must be postmarked or received by this Wednesday (December 1).

Finding the necessary amount of financial aid to fund your education can be difficult. Requirements often include complicated forms and applications, lengthy essays and rigid guidelines…some, but not all: Certain providers, like Zinch, are making it much easier to score some super sweet scholarship opportunities. Like this week's Scholarship of the Week, the Zinch Sweet-Diggity-Dawg Scholarship: It's worth $20,000. Let's learn some more about it, shall we?
To enter, you must be a high school student with a minimum 2.0 GPA and an 80-percent complete Zinch profile. Semi-finalists are selected for this scholarship based on their profiles then they compete, "March Madnezz" style, in a bracket of 64 students. Students go head-to-head, with the best Zinch profile advancing until only one student remains and claims the $20,000 scholarship.
The application deadline is in just under three weeks (January 15th) so you still have time to spruce up your Zinch profile (or create one if you don't already have one). With $20,000 at stake, it's best to bring your A-game! To get more info about this scholarship, visit Zinch's site and to find additional scholarship awards, try our free scholarship search today!

Once you've graduated from college, what do you do with the pages upon pages of writing assignments you completed during your tenure? You could go green and recycle them, I suppose…or you could try to make some green off of them, like the subject of our next story.
Having been there and done that once himself (or herself), one Georgetown alum knows that writing essays for admissions, scholarships and college classes takes a lot of time – time frazzled students just don't have – and is attempting to profit from that burden by selling their own admissions essay, multiple class papers and a graduate school scholarship essay on eBay via the handle and alzheimers_caregiver. Georgetown's own Vox Populi reported that while there are currently no bids on the items, the eventual winner (and I use that term very loosely here) will be e-mailed the materials and is free to edit the pieces as they see fit before turning them in.
Yes, we know the writing that goes into getting admitted to and succeeding in college is no small amount (just ask Harvard grad Natalie Portman) but if you're truly committed to making the most of your college experience, crafting a few thousand words into an original essay isn't going to kill you. Passing someone else's work off as your own won't either…but it could make your time at Big State U or Fancy Private College a lot shorter than you anticipated. An equally terrible but less-academically-poisonous bet? Buying alzheimers_caregiver's other offering, a VHS copy of Look Who's Talking Now.

5 MY FIRST NOBLE... WANDgeneralHoth | 01/08/2007 | See all generalHoth's reviews (9)This wand has so much more detail than the pictures show. The finish is great. The handle is very comfy to hold and it is a great weight it's soooo good I'm going to collect all the noble wands.
4 Great,but the tm mark lets it downbikerscrew29 | 31/08/2007 | See all bikerscrew29's reviews (1)I have only two complaints and they're nothing major.1. There is a TM on the bottom of the wand body, which makes it look like a toy, instead of a collectible item.2. There is nothing on the box, or with the wand to say who/which character it belonged to in the films.Apart from those minor gripes, I absolutely love it. It's very detailed, which isn't shown in the photo's online.It's really heavy too,which makes it seem all the more authentic.
5 Wonderful Wand - Just check the wand!FFAFfan | 12/09/2007 | See all FFAFfan's reviews (9)this is a wonderful wand, the second i have bought, the first being Voldemort's! this is a beautifully designed wand. however the first "Snape" wand i recieved was actually McGonagall's wand! luckily i had not been wreckless with the packagaing so returning was easy. Snape's wand is a worthy addition to my hopefully growing collection, and even though i returned it, Mcgonagall's might just reach my collection soon too.so just check your wand before you throw any of that packaging away - and open carefully!
5 WOW!!!!AMMZZZ0016 | 09/12/2011 | See all AMMZZZ0016's reviews (1)AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!More detail on it than I expected, the box is really cool too!
5 Alan Rickman's Wand!myownconga | 22/01/2008 | See all myownconga's reviews (4)I love my wand. It features quite prominently in my graduation photographs (though sadly, my hood was in Griffindor colours instead of Slytherin) - still - lots of fun, and comes in a neat little box, just like in Olivander's.

One City One Hire is an innovative economic development strategy that serves as a catalyst to jump-start the Mayor's pledge to put all unemployed District residents--in every Ward of the city--back to work.
Unemployment Compensation Process
Welcome to the DC Department of Employment Services Unemployment Compensation Program. The District offers two ways to file for unemployment compensation – via the Internet and the phone. We strongly encourage that customers seeking unemployment benefits do so online for quicker service. To begin the process of filing for your unemployment benefits, you will need to have the following information readily available:
- Your social security number
- Your most recent 30-day employer's name(s), address(es), phone number(s) and dates of employment
- Your Alien Registration Number, if you are not a US Citizen
- Your DD214, if you are ex-military
- Your Standard Form 8 or Standard Form 50, if you are a former federal employee
- Severance pay information (only applicable if you did or will receive severance pay)
Please note that confidential unemployment compensation information may be requested and utilized for other governmental purposes, including, but not limited to, verification of eligibility under other government programs. This notice is required by 20 C.F.R. § 603.11 – How do States notify claimants and employers about the uses of their information?
The 2013 Federal Government Shutdown Has Ended - Important Update and Information Regarding Unemployment Compensation
On Thursday, October 17, 2013, the federal government shutdown ended, and all federal government workers who were furloughed during the shutdown were directed to report back to work on their next regularly scheduled work day.
Furloughed federal workers will receive back pay for the period of the furlough as well as earnings from work beginning October 17, 2013. In an effort to avoid overpayments, repayment of unemployment benefits, wage garnishments, deduction of benefits from future claims, the interception of federal and state tax refunds, penalties, loss of future unemployment eligibility and/or legal or civil action, the Department of Employment Services strongly encourages previously furloughed workers to request to withdraw or cancel unemployment claims or to immediately discontinue certifying for benefits.
If you received unemployment insurance benefit payments from the District of Columbia as a result of the federal government shutdown, those benefits will be considered overpaid due to receipt of back pay.
For more information, please consult the Post-Federal Government Shutdown Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Federal Sequestration Information – Impacts on DC Unemployment Insurance Benefits and Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC)
Federal sequestration is a set of automatic, across the board budget cuts signed into order on March 1, 2013 that went into effect on midnight, March 2, 2013. The spending cuts were mandated by previous legislation passed by Congress in an effort to control spending and reduce the federal deficit. The automatic spending cuts will affect employees paid through federal programs in several ways. The following is the most current information available concerning the effects of sequestration on unemployment insurance benefits.
For those receiving regular unemployment insurance benefits, there will be no impact on or reduction in your benefits due to sequestration.
Claimants receiving benefits in the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program will see a 7.2% reduction in their weekly EUC benefit amount and in their overall unemployment account balance. This is a change from the previous reduction of 10.7%. Please note this may result in an increase in a claimant's weekly and maximum EUC benefits and will become effective with the benefit week beginning Sunday, September 29, 2013.
DOES will communicate directly with all EUC recipients, and notices of changes in the EUC program and any changes to your benefits will be mailed to your address of record that is on file with DOES. Please make sure your contact information (telephone number, email address, and mailing address) is updated with the Office of Unemployment Compensation to ensure you receive mailers, emails, automated phone calls, and timely communications.
Furloughed federal employees should check with their employers to confirm whether their agencies will participate in the District of Columbia's Short Time Compensation Program and if the furloughed employees meet the eligibility requirements to participate. Information on the Short Time Compensation Program, including eligibility requirements and benefits, can be found on the Department of Labor's website at www.dol.gov/sequestration/ShortTimeCompensation.htm. In addition, a special website has been created by DOES at http://seq.does.dc.gov, specifically for federal agencies who submit Short Time Compensation plans to DOES and their employees who will experience furloughs in the coming weeks and months.
Please visit this website regularly, as we will provide continuous updates about the sequestration as information becomes available.
Important Announcement Regarding Work Search Requirements for Unemployment Compensation Benifits
Beginning March 23, 2012, the Department of Employment Services will be enhancing and enforcing strict work search compliance measures as mandated by a recent change in federal law.
Failure to conduct a thorough work search (through seeking and applying for employment) or refusing to accept suitable work will affect your eligibility and may result in a denial of benefits.
DOES verifies work search activities and may ask for evidence of your work search efforts at any time. Protect your eligibility for benefits by keeping a detailed record of your work search. Provide as much information regarding your contacts and applications as possible.
For detailed information regarding work search requirements and how to comply, read the Work Search FAQs [PDF].

Bathroom Flooring Ideas
Bathroom flooring ideas are very easy to think about. You just have to perfectly match your preferences according to how it should look like and how much it will take you. If you are thinking of renovating your bathroom, you should always consider both factors before finally deciding what type of flooring will best suit you. Innovations in tile manufacturing industry are constantly improving so it is certain that you can have several options to choose from.
Here are some of them:
The first is wood flooring.People tend not to prefer this type of flooring because logically, woods easily swell, warp and develop discolorations when exposed in the water. It's true that some solid wood are not suitable for bathroom flooring but there are kinds of hardwoods which can work really well such as bamboo and teak. Unlike other materials, wood are relatively cheaper so you don't really have to spend that much. Wood flooring is one of the latest trends when thinking of some nice bathroom flooring ideas.
Cork flooring is another excellent idea. It is just somewhat like similar to wood flooring but cork is an environment-friendly material since corks are made out of wood shavings or saw dusts. They are also warm on the feet giving you more comfort compared to usual tiles out there. Just like wood flooring, cork flooring is very affordable. If you consider safety the most, then choosing rubber flooring over other bathroom flooring ideas is the best. Rubber material is warm in the foot. It is also easy to clean and it's waterproof.
It's considered the safest because rubber is slip resistant. This kind of bathroom flooring idea is best recommended for children's bathroom. Rubber material is not that expensive as well. Now, if budget is not really a problem to you, then you can choose marble flooring. Marble is great and durable that it can withstand the test of time. Marble flooring has been long used for centuries now and they are most admired by the royals. Marble flooring is a bit expensive but you are assured that you are the only person to have those marble flooring as each marble tile never looks similar to the other. If you are thinking any bathroom flooring ideas that highlights sophistication and superiority, then polished stone flooring is for you. Since marble is relatively expensive, polished stone flooring can be a good alternative.
You would still have the same effect when using marble flooring without paying much for the expenses. Some of these materials are those like limestone, granite, sandstone and travertine. Unlike wood and rubber, stone flooring needs to be cleaned once in a while to keep its good condition. If stone flooring brings about sophistication, metallic and glass flooring adds glamour. These types of flooring are one of the latest breakthroughs in tile manufacturing industry. Metallic and glass flooring have the ability to retract light giving the shimmering effect to them. These flooring materials are one of the most commonly used in spa-inspired bathrooms. Those are just few types of bathroom flooring available in the market.
There are actually more to choose from that will perhaps can meet your demands. Meanwhile, knowing what type of bathroom flooring will suit you best is very helpful. By just doing so, you can already think of your own bathroom flooring ideas.

The advantage laminate flooring has is how sturdy and resilient it is, and that it won't be stained or scratched very easily.

Installing Midnight Commander 4.7 on Mac OS X
Another short post just to remember the procedure for the next time I'll be setting up a new mac. For those of my readers who do not know what Midnight Commander (aka mc) is, GNU Midnight Commander is a visual file manager, created under a heavy influence of Norton Commander file manager from dark DOS ages For more information, you can visit their web site. Now, get to the installation topic itself.
To install mc on a Mac OS X machine, you need macports installed and then first thing you'll need to do is to install some prerequisite libraries:
1 | $ sudo port install libiconv slang2 |
Next thing, download the sources from their web site and unpack them. When the sources are ready, you can configure the build:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | $ ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/mc \ --with-screen=slang \ --enable-extcharset \ --enable-charset \ --with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/local \ --with-slang-includes=/opt/local/include \ --with-slang-libs=/opt/local/lib |
Then, normal GNU-style build and install procedure:
1 2 3 | $ make ........ $ sudo make install |
And the last thing would be to add /opt/mc/bin
to your PATH environment variable.

I have successfully installed mc 4.7 simply using macports
sudo port install mc
But here is another problem. How to access top MC menu from mac keyboard?
Personally I use muCommander. It's a GPL application freely downloadable here:
You don't need macports for that and it's simple as installing a DMG image.
I have successfully installed mc 4.7 simply using macports
sudo port install mc
It's a good illustration for mac users. But, unfortunately I am not using mac, I am working on Windows so its not for me. Thanks for the configuration settings.
How can I configure mc to enable pageUp and pageDown keys?
Spasibo za pomosh'!
It should work out of the box. But if it does not, check out Options -> learn Keys menu.
Thanks for reply.
I can't even use my mouse to go to Option menu. Do you know what's wrong with my mc installation?

Fifteen years ago, an older adult whom I trust told me Rush is racist.
Only now, on the precipice of the most historic U.S. election ever, have the scales have fallen from my eyes and I can see.
I just heard Rush basically say that he's counting on the Bradley Effect, which is where racist whites say they will vote for Obama but end up voting for McCain. He even tried to malign Jews in Florida while talking about this.
How despicable.
I'm so happy that my anonymous friend talked me into believing in Obama. Everything is clear now.

Barney Kessel
In the select pantheon of white musicians for whom playing the blues seemed to come naturally, Barney Kessel holds a prominent place. Born in 1923 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, his interest in guitar was supported by intensive lessons (four-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week) provided by the WPA federal music project in the summer of 1935. Two years later, at age 14, Kessel became the sole white player in a local swing band. (In an odd parallel, Kessel was later the only white member of the ensemble featured in the landmark 1944 documentary, Jammin' the Blues, but bowing to Jim Crow custom, the filmmakers showed only his hands, which were dyed with beet juice.)
Kessel told the CBC in 1979 that his first playing experience was enormously formative. "We played mostly for black dances. But it really wasn't any problem...[The other bandmembers] had all played with Charlie Christian. They all knew him because he was born a 150 miles away [in Oklahoma City] and they kept telling me as I was playing, you know...they invited me to play solos all the time. I didn't know anything about solos, but they invited me, 'Take one, take a solo.' And I would try to tremelo, like a mandolin or play it in some awful way...and they would say, ''Play it like a horn. Play ideas. Play like a horn player.' I didn't know what they meant, and then I finally heard Charlie Christian and I knew what they meant."
Kessel's encounter with his fellow Oklahoman took place in 1939 when the pioneering electric guitarist played Muskogee with Benny Goodman. As recounted in Ted Gioia's West Coast Jazz, the essence of Christian's advice to Kessel was, "Concentrate on swing first. Then if you can make some interesting harmony after you know how to swing, that's fine. But to begin with, swing alone is enough to get you by." Kessel's commitment to Charlie's first principle only added irony to the title of his 1955 masterpiece, To Swing or Not to Swing. When it came to that most compelling of jazz basics, Barney never suffered Hamlet-like ambivalence.
With Christian's premature death in 1942, Kessel became one of the first guitarists to carry his emphatic, single string conception forward. Combining an unfailing sense of swing with a deep knowledge of chords, he joined the front rank of guitarists in the 40's. Kessel played with Chico Marx when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1942, followed by work with Goodman, Charlie Barnet, and Artie Shaw's Gramercy Five, a dynamic combo featuring Roy Eldridge and piano legend Dodo Marmarosa. This small-group setting brought early attention to Kessel's brilliance, and he soon began placing first in the polls of Downbeat and Esquire, a string that ran from 1947 to 1960.
At first confused and turned off by Charlie Parker, Kessel nonetheless bought his records and suddenly heard the future. "I remember buying those records, even though I did not like them, and one day it was just like a mist lifted and I could see what it was. From the minute I began to like it and began to understand what he was doing, I did not like my playing because I wanted to articulate that way and didn't know how." A quick study, he was in the group that played on Parker's celebrated "Relaxin' at Camarillo" session for Dial in 1947.
(Reunited with Oscar Peterson in 1974 at Ronnie Scott's in London)
Kessel's fabled studio career began in the late '40's and encompassed hundreds of sessions ranging from Bing, Ella, and Sinatra to movie soundtracks to jingles to instructional tapes. His guitar was the virtual co-equal of Julie London's voice on her classic, "Cry Me a River." All the while, he toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic, succeeded Irving Ashby in the Oscar Peterson Trio in 1952, and the following year left Oscar and Ray Brown to begin a four-year stint as music director for Bob Crosby's television variety show. By the early 60's, now counted among the players in The Wrecking Crew, he played on Top 40 hits produced by Phil Spector, Sonny & Cher, the Beach Boys, and many more. He also made celebrated jazz dates with Ben Webster, Sonny Rollins, Billie Holiday, Benny Carter, and Hampton Hawes, and recorded prolifically under his own name for Contemporary. (See my Best of Barney list below.)
(Kessel reputedly said Django Reinhardt didn't play jazz, but he admired him nonetheless and composed "I Remember Django" in his memory. This photo was taken during Django's U.S. tour in 1946.)
Like Parker, Kessel's playing was infused with the blues, both in tone and in the coherent, narrative quality of his solos. Guitarist Tal Farlow noted this in the liner notes for Barney's 1957 date with Ray Brown and Shelley Manne, The Poll Winners: "He has a definiteness in his playing. When he hits a note, it's really hit. Charlie Christian gave me that same feeling…The blues are a basic part of most of what Barney does. The blues especially always seemed to be his vehicle. And he's certainly funky. He was funky long before it became a conscious thing to strive for. For some musicians, there came a time when we were suddenly earthy, or supposed to be. But that's old stuff for Barney."
(Here's Barney with Kenny Burrell and the rarely-seen Grant Green.)
Kessel maintained that the blues is an intensely personal matter. In an interview with W. Royal Stokes that was published in The Jazz Scene, he said, "I think your experiences in life lead you to develop within yourself a feeling that is highly empathetic toward the blues."
With tongue firmly in cheek, he continued, "I think one can learn to play the blues in the same way that one can learn...to become a bullfighter by taking a correspondence course {see Kessel's recording of Bizet's Carmen], or one can adopt the culture of the Gypsy reading books on it. I don't think it's an impossibility, but I think to do it that way would result only in an intellectual attainment."
Echoing Louis Armstrong's down-home dictum, "You can't learn that in school." Kessel homed in on one of the intangibles that pedagogy can't provide, "[Blues is] a feeling that comes to you that mixes with the music and if you haven't had that kind of experience, it's not going to be there. I don't think you're going to learn it from Berklee College of Music. All you learn there is how other people do it, but it's without the emotional content, which we never talk about in any scholastic training. You don't go to any school and enroll in a course with a teacher and get a grade on emotion. This has to come from you and your life experiences.
"Will the blues continue? I think it will continue as long as human beings retain their feelings and have feelings of despair and desolation and even the feeling of the joyous part of the blues, like "Going to Kansas City,' or something like that where it's on a positive upbeat. I think as long as people don't turn into computers and have emotions there will be blues."
Kessel was showcased on Jazz Scene USA in 1962. Oscar Brown, Jr. was the series host. Bassist Buddy Woodson and drummer Stan Levey appeared with Barney on a set that includes "What Is This Thing Called Love," "Gypsy in My Soul," "In Other Words," "April in Paris," and "One Mint Julep." Kessel spends a few minutes discussing the array of guitars and banjos he used as a studio musician, then underscores his versatility with the show's biggest surprise, a solo rendition of "Danny Boy."
