6 Canadian places whose original names were more interesting
Which vacation spot was known as Hens-and-Chickens Harbour?
Sure, Regina and Windsor are okay names, but they're kind of dull compared to what those places used to be called.
1. Regina was Pile of Bones
2. Kenora, Ont. was Rat Portage
3. Collingwood, Ont. was Hens-and-Chickens Harbour
4. Raleigh, Nfld. was Ha Ha Bay
5. Windsor, Ont. was Sandwich
6. Moncton was La Coude (the elbow), later renamed the Bend

Have you ever wondered which cities have the most bars, smokers, absentee workers and people searching for love? What about how Canada compares to the world in terms of the size of its military, the size of our houses and the number of cars we own?

Losing Weight to Run a Marathon
Get Fit For 2010: How I Learned to Love Running
Hurrah! We made it through another week of the Get Fit For 2010 giveaway. It's been great to read everyone's progress reports. Check out FitSugar user sfmalinali's inspiring post on how she found her love of running.
I just completed my first organized run — a 4-mile Run For Haiti event in NYC and I loved it! I finished in about 40 minutes, which is not too bad considering there were thousands of people running. I feel great and super ready and stoked for the half marathon I'm signed up to do in April.
I never thought that I would enjoy running. All my life I've been pretty active but running was my enemy. I played soccer for 10 years but hated running at practice. Since I was a defensive player, I hardly did any running during the games. If I did run, it was short and quick. It also helped that I was running for a purpose: to stop the ball or the player on the other team. Long distance running just sounded awful and boring, but look at me now — I love it!
To see how her weight loss is going and what she's given up for Lent,
As for my weight loss, I have lost 10-pounds since January, which is great. The weight I gained from dealing with a heartbreak and moving has finally come off and I am ready to shed more. I am hoping to lose 10-15 more pounds before the half marathon.
I've been pretty good about eating but I definitely have my bad days. I think sticking to a healthy diet is the hardest part for me. I buy healthy food but it's so easy to eat unhealthy in NYC. Every restaurant delivers, and since I'm a grad student and also have emotional days, I end up eating out more than I should. Compared to last year, I don't do it as much so it is an improvement.
Overall, I feel great and I want to keep up this excitement. (I also gave up cigarettes for Lent. Hopefully it will continue even after Lent ends.)
Great job, sfmalinali! We'd love to hear about your exercise life, so join our Get Fit For 2010 community group and write a blog post about what workouts work for you! By participating, you'll not only be on your way to a healthier you, but you'll also be entered into the drawing for our weekly giveaway of a $100 Nike gift card as well as an awesome grand prize.

Johannesburg - A 72-year-old Alexandra woman spoke on Wednesday of her plans not to vote in next week's elections, saying she was tired of politicians' empty promises.
"They promise us all sorts of things when they want our votes and (then) disappear," said Gloria Gardener.
She was one of the people who attended a Democratic Alliance campaign event in the township in Johannesburg.
DA leader Helen Zille and Gauteng premier candidate Mmusi Maimane were at the forefront of the DA entourage seeking to woo voters.
Gardener said voting did not make any difference so she would rather stay away.
"I have been voting and I have not seen any of the things that they promised us before the elections."
She said she lived in dire conditions and her family of eight were dependent on her social grant and her disabled daughter's grant.
Gardener accused politicians of seeking to improve only their own lives.
Maimane told supporters it was unfair that President Jacob Zuma's cattle lived better than Alexandra residents did in their hostels.
He said the township had some major shortfalls and the party wanted to ensure that residents received the development due to them.
"Here outside the woman's hostel the quality of life is absolutely disappointing."
A 34-year-old mother of two, Cynthia Msiya, said conditions were very bad in the hostel.
She was renting and sharing a room with three other families at the hostel.
Msiya said she could not wait to vote because she wanted a job and a decent house.
Zille and her team toured the hostel to experience the conditions people were living under. She promised if they voted for her party, conditions would change and more jobs would be created.
"A vote for the DA is a vote for the growing economy plus jobs. People will choose to accept our offer for jobs by voting for the DA."
She said her party was targeting Gauteng because it wanted to grow its economy.
The campaign then moved to Banakeleleni Orphanage where Maimane handed over more than 30 DA-branded blankets.
The home housed 18 children aged between two and 18.
Founder Rose Martins said the blankets would be helpful.
She said they had sent a wish list to the DA and she was glad they came back.
"A lot of politicians promise us things and never come back to us."


text: I passed my old Powermac on to my son when I upgraded to a MacPro and all has gone well until now. I bought him a copy of Final Cut Pro Express 4 having checked the processor speed was up to scratch. However during install a problem has come up regarding the graphics card (we have the standard card that came with the computer). The error message states that the software might not run properly as there is no Open GL. How important is this for using FCE4? Can we scrape by for a few months or do we need to replace the AGP graphics card? Can anyone advise on which other graphics cards could be used to improve the situation? Don't want to spend a lot of money as we'll replace this machine next year. I've tried searching for upgrade information but have so far not found the kind of detail I'm looking for to allow me to identify a replacement graphics card.

Fishing for an early opener
Minnesota could be seeing an earlier start to the big fishing season this year.
"This is it -- this is the start of the madness," said Chris Denardo, as he helps his crew from J&K Marine prepare the docks and lifts on Little Detroit.
The crew is out much earlier this year because of a record-breaking early ice out, and the jump start could be a necessary one for them, as some legislators are pushing for the walleye opener to be pulled back one week early.
The big day is currently set for May 12, but if the house-approved proposal also passes the senate and the governor, it would be moved to May 5 -- making Cinco de Mayo a real day of celebration for anglers.
The move would also make some mothers happy, as the opener for walleye, sauger and northern pike is currently scheduled for mother's day weekend.
"Moving up the date would be a good thing for me because we celebrate Mother's Day big time with the family," said Mike Parnell, who owns Anchor Inn on Cotton Lake, but lives down in White Bear Lake. "It would mean I could actually be here (at the resort) for opener this year."
While scheduling hassles seem to be a sore spot for some Minnesota resort owners, others are hoping for the one-time change or simply don't care.
"I don't think it'll effect us much here," said Dan Berg, owner of Lakecrest Resort near Detroit Lakes. "We actually don't see a lot of fishing opener businesses -- we start to get busy in the summer."
An extremely warm spring has meant fishing enthusiasts have already been pan fishing for a few weeks now, but some experts say it's the walleyes that pull people into lakes country.
"I think moving the date up would be a great idea for commerce and industry," said local fishing guide Brad Laabs, who admits he'd also like to see the bass opener moved up as well. "With the early spawn and warming waters, I think it'd be an absolutely great idea."
And while DNR officials seem to have no official stance as to what they believe is best, Detroit Lakes DNR Fisheries expert Jim Walthers says if the weather patterns remain warmer than normal, there would probably be a good, early bite as the spawning process is about a week ahead of schedule.
He says both weekends will probably be biologically ideal for catching fish.
"But there are a few places where an early season has the potential to affect lakes -- like Mille Lacs, where there is a set limit to how much can be harvested out, so an additional week could affect those regulations and how they deal with them," said Walthers, who says this year's early ice out could also prove to be rough on the pan fish and lake trout.
"The way they are, if anglers troll lures near the surface, they can have pretty good catch rates," said Walthers, "so moving it up by a week would take a toll on lake trout," he says, adding that those are not found in lakes country.
So while the uniqueness of this spring has legislators debating the pros and cons of a one-week change for this year only, those preparing for the season know the clock could be ticking a little faster.
"An extra week would make things a little interesting for us because we do about 400 customer docks around the area," said Denardo, "and right now everybody is getting antsy and wants their docks in right now."
Denardo says their early jump on the main marina on Little Detroit could be what saves them if the bill is passed.
"We should have the majority of our people in before opener even if it's a week earlier," said Denardo, "and that'd be nice because then it wouldn't interfere with mom's day, and that's a good thing."
The bill is currently sitting in the Minnesota Senate.

Current tax system unfair for many NZ families
Hon Bill English
Minister of Finance
23 March 2010
Media Statement
Current tax system unfair for many NZ families
The current tax system is unfair and inequitable for many hard-working New Zealand families and the Government will address this in the Budget, Finance Minister Bill English said today.
Mr English highlighted in Parliament how the current system can allow a household earning $100,000 a year, with two dependent children, to reduce the tax they pay from $27,500 a year to less than $10,000 a year.
"In reviewing the Tax Working Group's recommendations, the Government acknowledges the system needs to be fair and have integrity," he said. "This is most apparently not the case at present, where highly uneven tax rates apply between taxpayers with similar incomes."
Mr English said a self-employed person earning $100,000 a year would normally pay income tax of more than $27,500 a year on the top marginal tax rate of 38 per cent
But, in certain situations, the current system allowed them to significantly reduce their tax bill by, for example:
• Forming a company owned by another entity (on the current 30 per cent company tax rate), paying themselves a $48,000 salary and reducing their tax bill by $3000.
• Qualifying for Working for Families on this reduced salary with two dependent children, they would receive an extra entitlement of almost $8500 a year.
• Using an interest in a leveraged property investment producing, say, tax losses of $20,000 a year, their personal taxable income is further reduced to $28,000.
"At this point, the total tax paid, on income of $100,000, has fallen below $10, 000," Mr English said. "In other words, the effective income tax rate is less than 10 per cent – or lower than the lowest personal income tax rate.
"The example is not uncommon. The Tax Working Group found that 10,000 households were reporting investment losses while also claiming Working for Families credits. We are aware of tax advisers actively marketing schemes similar to this.
"The current system lacks fairness and integrity because of the way income is defined and because different tax rates have proliferated.
"In the Budget, the Government will make the tax system fairer by closing this type of loophole. We will make sure that taxable income more accurately reflects true economic income – and that the system is fairer to all taxpayers."

The popular social-media game will be adaptated for the small screen with a half-hour animated show.
Zynga's successful online game "FarmVille" may get a TV treatment. Filmmaker Brett Ratner has joined forces with Six Eleven Media to produce an animated series based on the farming simulation game.
" 'FarmVille' is one of the most exciting brands out there today and its cross-platform opportunities are endless," says Ratner in a statement. "I am thrilled to be expanding the brand with existing fans and also engaging a whole new audience."
The "Tower Heist" director will serve as an executive producer along with Six Eleven Media's Kirk Schenck & Charles Bishop and Independent producer Nina Gelb. No network is attached to the planned half-hour series so far.
"FarmVille" was launched on Facebook in 2009. Players have to manage their farms by plowing land, planting, growing and harvesting crops, harvesting trees and bushes, and raising livestock. Its sequel, "FarmVille 2", was released in September 2012.

DETROIT - A warmer and windy day ahead with some rain possible later in the afternoon. We start mild with temps in the 40s and into the 50s later in the morning.
Again, grab the sunglasses before you head out and the umbrella for the afternoon and early evening.
The winds will start cranking in the late morning hours through the afternoon SW 15-25 mph with gusts over 30 mph from time to time.
High temps will hit the upper 60s with a few neighborhoods possibly hitting 70° today!
The window for wet weather is 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. today as a cold front approaches. This is not a real strong cold front and will likely bring scattered rain and thunder with no threat of severe weather.
The evening hours will be mostly calm although computer models are hinting at a few showers possible again towards midnight.
Friday is a beautiful finish to the work and school week around SE Michigan with highs climbing back to around 60 to 65°. Friday also brings mostly to partly sunny skies and lighter winds SW 7-12 mph.
Saturday will be the better of the two weekend days hitting the mid to upper 60s with partly cloudy skies.
We will see scattered rain and thunder showers on Sunday as we try to climb back into the mid 60s. But this is a stronger cold front and may bring a few wet snowflakes as temps take a dive Monday and Tuesday.
We don't expect much snow but won't be surprised if Parts of SE Michigan receive a coating of snow early next week.

Well, I don't really know what to say about myself.
I've been described as fiercely loyal, caring, intelligent, funny, a good friend, and an excellent listener. Once I set my mind to something, I do it and I see it through to the very end. I never take no for an answer. I am driven and I know what I want. I am looking for someone to share my journey with me, through the ups and the downs.
I am not overly religious by the dictionary definition of the word, but I do consider myself spiritual. To me and my practice, spiritual is a better word to describe me.
As I said, I am Native American. I am a Medicine Woman. I am a Shaman. I am also Chippewa/Ojibway, Cherokee and Choctaw.
I am a level 3 Reiki Master and certified to teach it. I am also a certified minister, specializing in Native American weddings and handfastings.
I want someone who is similar to me in terms of interests. They should be spontaneous but also okay with routine. However, I don't have an ideal person or ideal match in mind. If you think you and I will get along, please, message me.
Dancing is a must...or at least you should be willing to learn. I'm not talking about club dancing either. ;)
I sing with the Eastern Medicine Singers.
In terms of other books, I like C.S. Lewis and Nicholas Sparks books. I typically don't have favorite authors . I read quite a bit when I get the opportunity. I did quite like the Lord of the Rings series though. I also enjoy classics, like Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Dickens, Mary Shelley, and I like Chaucer and Arthurian stories (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight for example), and Shakespeare. My reading interests are really broad.
For movies, I don't usually have a lot of time to watch movies. But I'm usually down for anything. I do love the Harry Potter movies, and the Star Wars series, but I really don't have one favorite movie. I liked Avatar, and my all time favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. My favorite genre of movies is horror. I guess some other favorites include Naked Gun, Monty Python, Chronicles of Narnia, Army of Darkness, ALL Mel Brooks movies... I'm sure there's more too. Sometimes I also like cheap movies, like Mortal Kombat.
In terms of TV- Family Guy, ER (which isn't on the air any more), Law and Order SVU, American Dad, South Park, Who's Line is it Anyway?, Cleveland Show, Big Bang Theory, Long Island Medium, Breaking Amish, Duck Dynasty, Dance Moms, Abby Lee's Ultimate Dance Competition, Double Divas, any conspiracy type show, Merlin, American Horror Story, Game of Thrones, anything fantasy or historical really...though, I really don't turn on the TV much.
For music, Fleetwood Mac. Weird Al. Metallica. Pink Floyd. And the like. And anyone with strong vocals...like Pink and Amy Lee. Anything but country. I don't like country, but I can tolerate it.
And in terms of food, I like just about anything. I am willing to try new foods. I will not eat lasagna...or anything with ricotta cheese for that matter. I also don't like ham that much (in terms of the lunch meat type ham).
I love playing video games when I get the chance. I prefer watching others play, especially since I have poor depth perception, which makes me suck at playing. When I do play, I enjoy playing Halo, Mortal Kombat, Duke Nukem, Skyrim, Gauntlet and other games of the sort. If I had the correct gaming system, I would still be playing Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. I also find the Lego video games to be adorable. And I also play World of Warcraft.
I also love musicals. I enjoy a trip to PPAC occasionally to take in a show. The only muscial that I do not like (so far, at least), is Cats. Some favorites include the Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis.
1. My cat and my dog (even though they aren't "things")
2. My phone
3. My car
4. My yoga mat
5. A good book
6. My stethoscope
More and more though I find myself thinking about the past. I think its important to who I am now to remember who I was and what got me to the point I'm at now.
You should also message me if you can handle a crazy ass Native girl with strong opinions who doesn't mind paranormal occurrences. Also, if you think we'll get along well. Hope to hear from you soon. :)
-My looks are the only thing you think about.
-You want to tell me what you would do to me sexually.
-You only want to talk about sex or ask me sexual questions from the get-go.
-You just want a one night stand. I'm all for casual sex but not if you are going to treat me like a sex machine. I'd at least like some basic information...you know, like your name or something.
-You want me to see your privates or you only want nudes. I don't do that. I don't care about your boner or whatever. Rub one out if you have to.
-You consistently message me and get all butthurt when I don't answer you asap (same goes for texting/calling if you have my number). I have a life too you know and it does not revolve around this site or you.
I will let you know if you have crossed a boundary when speaking to me...as there are some deeper subjects I am uncomfortable completely diving into with complete strangers.
You have been forewarned. Any of the above occur and you will be ignored and/or blocked. List subject to additions.

Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski went head to head over the closing laps of the AAA 500 at Texas Motor Speedway as Johnson made a second to last lap pass on Keselowski during a Green-White-Checkered finish to win his fifth race of 2012 and second straight. The win is also the 700th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Chevrolet and helped Johnson extend his points lead to seven points over Keselowski.
The two battled door to door on a restart with eight laps to go where Keselowski was able to hold off Johnson's challenge with some aggressive driving. It looked like he would win until the ninth caution of the race came out on lap 329 of the scheduled 334 to set up the overtime and Green-White-Checkered situation.
"It was an awesome race, a great way to put it, the gloves are off and it's bare knuckle fighting," Johnson said from victory lane. "I have a lot of respect for that 2 team and those guys are doing a great job. Today our cars were pretty equal."
Johnson dominated early in the race but then Keselowski looked to have the best car toward the end. But a pit road mistake by Keselowski on lap 275 dropped him to ninth and then he took two tires on a pit stop to gain the lead with 19 laps to go. It looked as if he would be able to hold off the charge of Johnson and Kyle Busch who had four tires but it was not meant to be for the second place finisher.
"Man I thought we had it but we kept getting all those yellows and it just kept giving them more shots," Keselowski said. "I knew I wasn't going to be able to execute every restart and Jimmie did a great job on the last one. I had to chose between wrecking him and winning the race and it didn't seem right to wreck him."
With two races left in the season Keselowski is still confident that his Penske Racing No. 2 team can win the championship if they keep having performances like they had at Texas.
The race got underway with Jimmie Johnson leading the field to the green. He would go onto dominate through two rounds of green flag pit stops. Kyle Busch was showing his strength early on also as he was running a strong second but on the first stops on lap 45 Busch slide past his pit stall so he did not collide with Matt Kenseth who was leaving his pit stall. The time lost dropped Busch all the way back to tenth in the running order.
By lap 73 Busch had worked his way back to sixth. By the time the second round of green flag stops started Brad Keselowski had worked his way up to third from the eighth starting position. Johnson meanwhile continued to lead besides relinquishing through green flag stops for a few laps all the way until lap 100 when the first caution flew. Juan Montoya had scrapped the wall on lap 96 which might have led to the caution by NASCAR.
Keselowski took two tires on the ensuing pit stops and would pass Ryan Newman, who stayed out, on lap 106 to gain the race lead for the first time. The second caution would then fly on lap 109 when AJ Allmendinger spun off Turn 4 in his No. 51 car. He went into the infield grass where the front of his car was virtually ripped off. He would retire from the race due to the damage and finish in 36th.
On the lap 119 restart things jammed up in the pack and Bobby Labonte suffered some damage that made an oil line come loose. Montoya went to the grass to avoid the stack up and ripped the front of his No. 42 Chevrolet off much like Allmendinger did. The third caution came out right away. Labonte would finish in 34th and Montoya in 35th after both going behind the wall for a period of time before returning to the track.
For the lap 129 restart Johnson was scored the leader ahead of Keselowski and he would again pull away from his competitors.
On lap 161 Clint Bowyer started a round of green flag stops when he had a tire going down. Keselowski pitted on lap 165 and Johnson on lap 166. By lap 174 Johnson was back in the lead after the round of stops had finished but Keselowski had made up ground and Jeff Gordon showed his strength by working his way up to third place and Kyle Busch was back up to fourth.
On lap 186 the fourth caution came out for debris in Turn 1. After the pit stops Johnson led Busch, Keselowski, Truex, and Gordon for the lap 191 restart. Busch was able to pass Johnson right away and Keselowski also slipped into second as it looked like the No. 48 team had lost the handle somewhat.
The fifth caution came out on lap 224 for debris in Turn 3. For the lap 228 restart after pit stops Busch led Johnson, Keselowski, Bowyer and Gordon. On lap 235 Keselowski was able to pass Busch on the high side to take the lead. By lap 250 Gordon had worked his way up to second place as he was able to pass Busch and Johnson.
Gordon's good run took a turn when on lap 270 he slowed and pitted due to his right front tire cording. Then on lap 275 he was caught a lap down when the sixth caution flew for debris. Gordon would take the wave around to get back on the lead lap. On the pit stops Keselowski pitted from the lead but slid deep into his stall and was unable to pull straight out when Danica Patrick was in her stall in front of Brad. The time he lost dropped him all the way back to ninth.
Johnson took advantage of his championship contender's mistake a got off pit road first. But Kyle Busch was able to get by Johnson on the restart and pull out to a lead. On lap 309 the seventh caution flew when Marcos Ambrose blew a tire and slammed the outside wall. He would finish in 32nd place. Kyle Busch led Johnson, Bowyer, Keselowski and Kenseth onto pit road where the No. 2 made a strategy move by taking two tires to grab the lead for the restart with 19 laps to go.
The move looked like it was going to win them the race but then with 14 laps to go the eighth caution flew when Kasey Kahne got into the outside wall when he could not control his car due to a flat left rear tire. The tire was cut when Jeff Gordon made contact with Kahne as he was in a tight battle with Greg Biffle. Gordon had a lot of damage to his right front and had to pit again to make repairs. Gordon would end up finishing in 14th and Kahne was 25th.
The race restarted on lap 326 and an epic battle ensued between Keselowski and Johnson. In Turn 3 Keselowski got loose with Johnson to his outside. He was able to keep his foot in it and the two made door to door contact as they crossed the stripe with seven to go. In Turn 1 Keselowski crowded up the track and broke Johnson's momentum. Jimmie then had to fight off a pass attempt by Kyle Busch for second place.
It looked like Keselowski was going to have the win but then on lap 329 Mark Martin spun off Turn 4 when he pushed up into the battle of Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. Martin's No. 55 Toyota slid through the grass and then nosed into the outside wall near the flag stand. That set up the Green-White-Checkered finish as the race was extended one lap past its scheduled distance.
Keselowski led the field to the green with Johnson on his outside. It looked as if Brad spun his tires just a touch which allowed Johnson to enter Turn 1 right on Keselowski's outside. Johnson then beat Keselowski back to the gas in the middle of Turn 1 and 2 and speed down the backstretch with the lead. Brad was able to hold off a charge from Kyle Busch to take home second place.
Busch was third with Matt Kenseth in fourth, Tony Stewart fifth, Clint Bowyer sixth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. seventh, Kurt Busch eighth, Kevin Harvick ninth, and Greg Biffle tenth.
The Chase for the Sprint Cup standings are as follows. Johnson leads Keselowski by seven points and Clint Bowyer by 36 with only two races left. Kahne is fourth 58 points back with Kenseth and Gordon 72 points back in fifth and sixth. Denny Hamlin struggled and finished 20th. He is now seventh, 73 points back. Tony Stewart and Martin Truex Jr. are both 80 points back in eighth and ninth. Greg Biffle is tenth 83 back. Both Kevin Harvick, 101 back and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 151 back are mathematically eliminated with two races left.
Next Sunday the Chase moves to Phoenix International Raceway where all eyes will once again be on Johnson and Keselowski.Tags: Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, Danica Patrick, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., matt kenseth, Motorsports, Sprint Cup Series, Texas Motor Speedway, Tony Stewart

The Hipster Pyramid: An Interview with Francesco PacificoBy Adam Thirlwell
The last time I interviewed Francesco Pacifico for The Paris Review Daily was back in 2013, when he published The Story of My Purity. That novel, whose slacker narrator was unusually both Catholic and celibate, was an examination of a certain hipster atmosphere—and in his new novel, Class, Pacifico continues his malicious analysis of that global condition. Class tells the story of an Italian couple in New York, Lorenzo and Ludovica, and the fresco they inhabit: filmmakers, literary scouts, total wastrels …
The more I thought about this novel and its dark concerns, I began to realize how Pacifico's look so beautifully matches his writing's contradictions. The first time you meet him, with his beard and his smile, you have this sense of a charming bohemian happiness, a man never far from recreational drugs. But as I have come to know him, I've learned that his beard is a disguise: it might look like the absolute genial hipster accoutrement, but really it's the beard of a savage second-century prophet. And in his novels, too, the apparently comical surface will suddenly rupture, revealing its ethical precision, its melancholy soul.
We finished our last conversation talking about translation. You said, "I loved changing things in the translation … I don't like the unnatural effort of conveying everything in translation. Choices have to be made." And now here we have you seemingly translating this new novel on your own. How did you go about it?
My editor Mark Krotov and I used the method you and I used when we rewrote an Emilio Gadda story in English for Multiples, the translations issue you guest-edited for McSweeney's. I would turn up a version where I would convey everything I'd thought of the registers, the way people talked in my novel. It was of course much simpler than Gadda's. While translating it, I really rewrote it—for two reasons. One is that Class is a book about the way Italian bourgeois are influenced by American culture and language. So I had to turn every conceptual joke on its head. There's a lot of English in the Italian version, plus an assorted slang of Angloitalian. And there's a lot of Italian in this English version. The other reason was, I'd gained enough distance from Class to realize the Italian version hadn't been properly edited—there were a lot of moral asperities that I had to tone down because it was a crazily bleak book. Now my Italian editor and I think we should publish the new version as a paperback. Read More

Well, FWIW, I tried my best to make it useful, but probably the need to have accurate descriptions made it more accurate. Also, the reason it took so much time is that I actually had to learn about all of the little details, because I really wanted it to be practical and kind-of complete. (You can see the results of that on the git list...) > I do plan to read the whole thing, but can you perhaps provide some > more of a hint that's tailored to this situation? I tried to write an executive summary, but it got long enough to justify an executive^2 summary: * Setup: git config --global alias.up "pull --ff-only --stat --all" * Update before pushing with: git up * When it tells you that it failed, use: git rebase origin -- or if you have more substantial work: git merge origin * Push out as usual: git push and if you always push out single commits, you can make it easier with: * Setup: git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase --stat --all" * Update before pushing with: git up * Push out the rebased result with: git push And here is the executive^1 summary: * Run this: git config --global alias.up "pull --ff-only --stat --all" this gives you a new "git up" command that is the same as running "git pull ..." - the `--stat' flag will give you a quick by-file summary of the changes that you pulled - the `--all' flag will make it pull all branches (which is more relevant if you have your own repository with branches) - the `--ff-only' flag tells it to abort if it can't trivially advance your history to the point where the remote repo is at. * The last one is the important point here: if you have local commits, it will not just blindly do a merge (which is the default, and the reason for those merges) -- instead, it will stop with: fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. At this point you could inspect the history of your commits and the ones you pulled -- I describe in the text a few ways to do this (look for that error message). But usually you'll know where things stand -- my guess is that most people are still in the svn-mindset of pushing commits out quickly, so in most case you'll know that you have a single commit. Also, since we're usually working on different things, you'll know that a merge will be trivial. * As a result, in most cases you'll just run "git rebase origin" now, to rebase your commit, then ship it out. * And finally, since this is the common use pattern at this point, you could just replace the `--ff-only' flag in the alias with `--rebase', and this will make your `git up' command rebase your work. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

ASK A QUESTION Pimsleur Spanish I , II and III
Anyone out there doing Pimsleur Spanish I, II or III.

If anyone wants a copy let me know and I can email.

Here is the actual zip file with all the info.
I started using the Pimsleur stuff after I reached a saturation point with book studying on my own. I just wasn't getting it. I need to hear it and say it to make any progress and it's helped a lot. I've slacked the last couple of weeks though because I'm busy.
I had some trouble hearing some of the words in there too. Fortunately, I'm listening to them on MP3's and Windows Media player has a setting to slow down the audio and some of the phrases I had to listen to 5 or 10 times before I understood it.
But here is the zip file attached. It's all text files inside and there are no viruses but of course you should scan it anyways before actually opening the file. Security first!
- I don't see any file attached or linked to, can you please add the link amigo? - ian-hill Feb 26, 2013 flag

What / who is Pimsleur?
- It's a Rosetta Stone competitor. Has his own "method". Many people swear by it. - PeterRS Feb 26, 2013 flag
- both don't like copyright infringement ... ten cuidado! - readytodicta Mar 31, 2013 flag
I have done all 4 levels. It works wonder for me!
Hi Roger, all contributions are welcome, if you wnat to share something with others, could to bring the link here.
Here it is.
link doesn't work :( ... can someone email me?
Pimsleur's materials, published by Simon & Schuster Audio, considers any transcripts of their CDs to be a copyright infringement. However, many "torrent" sites periodically do offer these transcripts. I, myself, do not use torrent sites, but for those who do, I'm sure you'll know how to find the ".pdf" transcripts.
WARNING : Do not , when buying Pimsleur products get ripped off by the "buy back" sites selling their courses. I sent my Spanish, I, II, and III back to the most "reputable" site, only to find they had gone out of business. So now I'm out of my CDs!
If you are seeking a particular word or phrase, I made notes of all my lessons and would be glad to answer a question here.
- perhaps you could shed light on what the second announcer says (the one who only speakes spanish and says digge le/pregunta le/etc). many times he says something like 'tu tellando' which I cant figure out. - mrpriceisrig May 15, 2014 flag
I started learning spanish with pimsleur. Even though the words in pimsleur are common and well spoken, I had difficulty learning.
If I had the written texts, it would have helped allot. I think it is completely worth it to get the texts.
It is however a little late for me as I have moved beyond pimsleur.
Pimsleur takes the position that this defeats their teaching method.. I think it enhances it.
Very nice of you to bring this up for spanish learners Roger.
Pimsleur in combination with spanish dict where they go over conjugations is a good method to learn.
- I would be so grateful if you could email them me at email@example.com. Thank you :D - spanishhound Mar 15, 2012 flag
Hi Roger, Can you email me the 100 lessons text file. email@example.com Thank you very much. Garry.
Hi Roger I have been looking for pimsleurs notes forever Is it possible u email me the file to firstname.lastname@example.com thanks
Can you send the notes to me also? I sent you a private message, and my e mail is in it
Hi guys, does anybody have this transcript? Im at firstname.lastname@example.com I need it bad...i dont care that the pimsleur technique says that it's best not to see the words - I think I learn better when I do.
hi i was wondering if anybody at all has gotten this file. im desperate. please if anybody has any information at all email is firstname.lastname@example.com

Two teams from Dakota County will be involved in one of the kickoff events this weekend for the USA Cup international youth soccer tournament in Blaine.
The Dakota Rev Riptide Under-14 girls team and the Eagan Wave Premier Under-16 girls team were invited to the USA Cup Super Elite tournament, which runs Friday through Sunday at the National Sports Center. The main USA Cup tourney starts Tuesday and runs through July 20.
The Super Elite tourney has six teams in each of four classes: girls U14, boys U14, girls U16 and boys U16. Teams first had to apply for the event and then be invited by tournament officials.
Dakota Rev Riptide won the Midwest Premier League, allowing just one goal in the process. Other teams in its division at the Super Elite tourney include MapleBrook Rush Premier and Minnesota Thunder Academy 99 as well as teams from Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
In the girls U16 division, Eagan's potential opponents include three Minnesota teams – Minnesota Thunder Academy 97 Blue, Tonka United Blue and NSSA Blast. There's also one team from Wisconsin and one from Sendai, Japan.
Schedules for the Super Elite tournament were not finalized when this edition went to press. They will be available at www.usacup.org.

Eagan native and University of Minnesota diver Sarah McCrady is competing this week in the World University Games in Kazan, Russia.
McCrady finished 12th in women's platform diving preliminaries Monday and was scheduled to compete later this week in 10-meter synchronized diving with Purdue's Mackenzie Tweardy as her teammate.
The World University Games is an international multi-sport event that takes place every two years. Athletes must be at least 17 years old but not older than 28.
McCrady, who will be a senior at Minnesota in the fall, has qualified for the NCAA Championships twice. She was All-America honorable mention in the 2013 NCAA meet after finishing 16th in platform diving. She was fourth in that event at the Big Ten Championships and twice was named the conference's Diver of the Week.
The week in golf
Minnesota's premier event for amateur golfers is next week and is followed two days later by its premier event for amateurs and professionals.
The 110th Minnesota Golf Association Amateur Championship is Monday through Wednesday at Medina Golf and Country Club. Among those expected to compete are Valleywood Golf Course players Trent Peterson and Sammy Schmitz, both of whom were exempt from qualifying. Peterson won the MGA Amateur in 2008 and Schmitz was the MGA Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012.
Former Eagan High School standout Ryan Peterson is defending champion at the Minnesota State Open, scheduled July 19-21 at Edinburgh USA in Brooklyn Park. Ryan Peterson, who later played at Colorado State and has been competing on mini-tours since turning professional, won the 2012 championship at Bunker Hills in Coon Rapids.
Tyler Ekenberg, an Apple Valley High School graduate now playing on the NGA Tour, also will play in the Minnesota State Open.

2.What is Dracula X?
Dracula X is the prequel to Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight(Casltevania:
Symphony of the Night). It was released for the Turbo Duo CD system in Japan.
Luckily, there was an import of it to the SNES. It doesn't have the same
CD quality music and sounds, but this game is just as fun.
Dracula X for SNES is a very under rated game. It recieves the most bad
reviews I've ever seen. The thing is, most people judge this game too badly
compared to the CD version. This is the first CV game I've played and its
the reason why I got hooked on CV in the first place.
The Story to Dracula X goes beyond the classic "Dracula's Castle has risen
again, and you must go in and defeat him". In this game you play as Richter
Belmont, a member of the Belmont family(duh!). When Dracula's Castle rose
again, Dracula kidnapped Richter's girlfriend, Annet, and her sister, Maria.
So now you must go and kill Dracula, and save Annette and Maria.
Also, this is one of the hardest Castlevania games out there. The bosses
don't make life any easier. This FAQ will give you all the stuff you need
to know to beat the bosses much easier. Rather than give a huge paragraph
saying what to do, I'll list all of the boss's moves, and tell you how to
counter them. I follow this manner because boss fights aren't always the
same each time.
3. Controls
Dracula X uses very simple controls. If your not good at doing any moves,
play around a bit in the first area of the game.
Note: This is assuming you have default controls.
Button Function
------ --------
Right Move Richter to the right
Left Move Richter to the left
Up Weapon throwing position
Down Crouch
B Jump
Y Whip
X Item Crash
B(twice) Backflip (learn this!!)
Up+Y Throw subweapon
Hold Y+left or right Moonwalk
These are really important and are key to winning. In order to use a Sub
Weapon, you must have one heart (with the exception of the clock). Use
Up+Attack to use a SubWeapon.
Cross-The best weapon to have with you at all times. When you throw one of
these, it will spin forward for about 1/2 of the screen's length, then
it will stay spinning in one spot for a while, then return back to you.
Note that you are only able to throw 3 crosses during a boss fight.
Item Crash-Eight crosses will fly around the screen crazily. Does decent
damage for 15 hearts.
Dagger-A very weak weapon, but the fastest one. When thrown, three daggers
will quickly fly across the screen.
Item Crash-Richter will throw about a 100 daggers forward, decimating any
enemy in your path for 10 hearts.
Holy Water-Richter will throw a bottle of water on the floor, and a blue
will travel a little bit forward. Great for taking out slow
Item Crash-A huge storm of holy water will come down on all enemies. Does
good damage for 20 hearts.
Axe-A huge axe is thrown at an arc. Very tricky to time it to hit your
opponenent. Very powerful also.
Item Crash-Eight axes surround Richter and are thrown out. Not good for 15
Stopwatch-Bad, weak, and heart consuming. Don't use this in boss fights at
5.Boss Strategies
5A. Stage 1-Cereburos
This is a three headed dog. You shouldn't have too much trouble with him
if you follow all my directions. Use your cross for this guy.
Bite-He does this attack when you are really close. Nothing really to
worry about. Just stay a bit away when whipping.
Fireball-When you hit him, he'll jump back, then throw a fireball to the ground
which will continue moving on the floor until it gets off the screen.
To avoid this, turn your back to the fire, and do a backflip over it.
Pounce-He does this immediately after the fireball. So after you backflip,
duck down and wait for him to fly over you. Then start throwing
crosses or whipping him.
5B. Stage 2-Bat
This bat guards the gates of the Castle. It is also the same first boss in
the first Castlevania. Use a knife, since you'll need to hit him fast.
Split-When you hit the large bat, he'll split into about 20 small bats that
move in a long chain. Keep whipping at the chain while their moving
around to take some more damage. When they turn back into the large
bat, throw the knife at him and repeat.
Final Attack(?)-When you have taken all the damage from the bat, he'll keep
moving. The chain of small bats will turn bat into the big
bat and then he will shoot out the small bats before dying.
Climb on the top platform to avoid this. You won't take any
damage anyway.
5C. Stage 3-Dhuron
These guys appear in other Casltevania games but are much smaller. But in
Dracula X, you face a large headless knight with a big lance. There are
two ways to beat him, with a key (needed to save Maria and Annette) or a
Stab-This guy's lance is huge. Very huge. He's hard to hit since he'll
be keeping his lance held downward all day. Try your best to stay a
little bit out of range of the lance and whip him at the same time.
The stab is very hard to avoid, so when you see him rear back, do a
backflip as quick as you can.
Ground Wave-Dhuron sends a big blue wave from the ground out to you. Get
on top of platforms to avoid this.
Slow down-He throws his head up into the air, and it glows with a green flame.
He'll fly at you, and if he touches you, you'll be slowed down and
take damage. Simply jump over it, but be careful when it comes
back. Dhuron is very vulnerable when his head is flying around.
Eartquake-Dhuron's head will fly up in the air and the ceiling will fall down.
Quickly go under a platform to take cover, or do an item crash,
which you will remain invincible and won't take damage.
Diving Stab-Dhuron will jump into the air and stab into the ground with his
sword. Very difficult to avoid.
Final Attack-He throws his head up into the air, and it bursts into 5 fireballs
that go downward.
Note: To get some real quick hits off this guy, stand on the low platform on
one of the sides of the screens. Then when he walks close, duck down
and whip at him like crazy.
5D. Stage 4-Minotaur
A monster from Roman(or was it Greek?) mythology. It is a beast with a body
half-man, half-bull (bull on top, man on bottom). Use an axe for this guy.
The Minotaur can block crosses and knives with his huge axe, so those are
completely useless.
Stance-The minotaur stands with his axe blade held out. You can duck down
whip him from under the axe blade. Be careful of the...
Stab-When your too close, the minotaur will stab you with his axe. Move
back when you see him about to do this.
Bull Charge-A very fast attack. He ducks down and flies right through you.
To avoid this, as soon as you see him duck down, quickly turn
your back to him and do a backflip. You should make it over
him. The minotaur charges strait into one of the walls, so he
gets his head stuck in the wall and tries to get his head out for
a few seconds. Whip him to death while he's stuck in the wall.
Stone Breath-Another up close attack. If your doing the duck and whip
method mentioned above, you'll most likely get hit by this.
You CANNOT move at all for about 3 seconds if he stones you.
Another attack you'll need to avoid.
Rock Throw-The minotaur scoops up a bunch of rocks and throws them up into
the air. You can whip at the rocks, but you may get hit. Stay in
close to have the rocks just go over you.
Note: Time your axe to go over the Minotaur's axe and hit him. Very easy
tactic if you want to stay away from him.
There is also a chicken in the platform on the right side of the screen
floating in the air. Break open the rock and a chicken will fall out.
5E. Alternate Stage 4-Necromancer
If you fell in the piller hopping room in stage 3, then you will skip Dhuron
and go straight to the Necromancer.
Fireball-The Necromancer will shoot a slow moving fireball that will follow
you. It will shoot out two smaller fireballs that go left and right
diagonally up. You can whip the fireballs. Each fireball can slow
you down and you won't be able to jump or throw subweapons.
Skeleton-He makes skeletons appear on the ground. They are very annoying.
Whip them if you want them dead.
Note: To kill him easily, jump in the air and throw a cross at him. He will
fly to the other side of you and should get hit by the same cross again
ending in multiple hits.
Tombstone Shield-After taking away his first energy bar, his life will fill up
again, and he will make a bunch of tombstones circle around
him. After they circle around him a few times, he'll throw
them at you. Just whip at them and they'll break.
Mudman-Same as the Skeletons. He'll make Mudmen appear.
Final Attack?-When you kill him the second time, the Necromancer will turn in
to a pile of dust, then explode.
5F.Stage 5-The Werewolf
Some legend of a man who turns into a werewolf in a full moon. Use a cross.
Spin-The Werewolf will climb on the wall or ceiling, and spin straight at you.
Use your backflip or jump over him to dodge this attack.
Punch-His punch should never hit you cuz you have to be really close to get
hit by the punch. The one you might get hit by is the punch that has
fire coming out of it.
Slide-The slide goes almost halfway across the screen. Jump over him.
Fireball-The Werewolf throws a fireball at you. Simply turn your back to
him and do the backflip over the fireball.
Charge-Sometimes while the Werewolf is jumping to the wall, he'll do this
charge. Duck under it.
Bounce-When his health is low, he'll roll into a ball and start bouncing
around the screen. This shouldn't be too hard to move, jump, or flip
over from.
Final Attack-When his power is gone, the Werewolf will leap to the middle of
the screen and punch the ground, making flames come out. Then
he'll die.
5G.Alternate Stage 5-Serpent
This can be a tough enemy to hit. He'll move very fast and you have to hit
him ask quick as you can. His weak point is his head.
Dive Attack-The serpent jumps out of the water every once in a while. Note
that his body will only hurt you when it is in the foreground, not
in the background(i.e., behind the bridge won't hurt you, but when
he is coming down in front of the bridge it will).
Fireball-He will come with his head out of the water, and throw flames on the
ground. If you hit him in the head before he throws the fireballs,
he will fall back into the water without attacking.
Twist-The Serpent will wrap its body around the bridge and twist around all
the way to the end. Stay between the parts of his body that are on top
of the bridge and walk in the direction that he's moving to avoid
Final Attack-After getting hit for the last time, the Serpent will fall into
the water. It'll be strangely silent for a few seconds, and
The Serpent's Skeleton will fly straight up to where your
5Hi.Normal Level 6 Boss-Big Skull
A large skull takes Annet(since you didn't save her). Use the cross against
this enemy. Just throw your crosses at him since he'll be moving so slow
and can take many hits at once.
Flaming Eyes-The Skull's eye's come out and they will fly around you for a
bit. Becareful to dodge these and not fall off the clock
tower. You can hit the eyes if you want.
Spinning Eyes-The Skull's eyes will come out of his head and start spinning
around. Very easy to evade.
Lighting Eyes-The eyes will now float around and shoot bolts of lighting
directly under them. These are almost impossible to avoid by
jumping over or anything. Stay between the beams if possible.
5Hii.Alternate Level 6 Boss-Death
Death is Dracula's best friend. Death is a skeleton who carries around a
large scythe and takes people's souls. Cross is very helpful here.
Sickle-Death floats around the screen while his sickles appear in various
places on the screen and fly out at you. You can whip at them, but
there will be too many to just sit down and whip at them all day.
Slow Down-If you touch Death, you will be slowed down. Hit him to keep him
Note: Use the cross to get lots of hits off his first form.
Slash-When about half of his energy is gone, Death will stand on the ground
and pull out his scythe in the middle of the platform. He preforms
the slash often while his sickles will still fly at you.
Spin-Death will jump into the air and spin with his scythe straight at you.
Very nasty move... Stay away as far as possible.
5I.Stage 7-Dracula
The Lord of Wallachia and Count of Castle Dracul. The legend is that some
guy liked dipping his bread in his enemies blood, then when he died, he made
a deal with the devil and become a vampire. Now we know him as Count
Now this battle is hard as hell. Your chances of falling in this level are
very high, and you can be knocked off at any time. Also, Dracula's weak
point is his head. It will be very hard to hit him, he has a high amount of
health, and this battle will be long. You'd better have your cross if you
want to win.
Teleport-Dracula will teleport on to different pillers every time. Be sure
to hit him with your whip instead of your valuable crosses.
Fireball-After teleporting in, Dracula will open his cape and throw out 3
fireballs. You can whip them down.
Big Fireballs-After teleporting in, Dracula will shoot out two big fireballs,
one high, and one low. You can duck under the first one, then
jump over the second one.
Transform-After you deplete Dracula's life bar, he'll turn into a big winged
Fireball-Dracula will now shoot some really fast fireballs at you. Here's
where your cross comes in handy. What you do is get back(at least
two pillers away) and throw 3 crosses into the middle of his body
where his hands are. Not only will this take tons of damage, it
will block the fireballs from coming out.
Sonic Boom-After throwing the three crosses at Dracula, he'll drop onto a
piller and do a HUGE sonic boom thing. If he's on a high piller
and your on a low one, then duck down immediately.
IMPORTANT: Don't fall when your getting the gem after killing Dracula!
6.Saving Annet and Maria
Remember the piller room in Stage 3? If you passed this, you'll get to a
room with a key in one of the candles. Pick it up. It will take the spot in
your subweapon slot, and you must live with the key in your possesion until
you reach the two doors you'll need to unlock. Now, defeat Dhuron and go
until you reach the 3rd section of stage 4. There will be a door halfway
up. Use the key(up+Y) to open the door. Inside will be Maria.
After you've save Maria, keep going up until you reach the room with another
door. Open the door and you will end up in the Alternate Stage 5. Go through
the stage until you reach a room that looks something like this:
--------| <--Whip /-/ =======
| here /-/ | | Entrance->
| ========== =====================
~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <--Water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <--Water
============== <--Platform underwater
My ACSII art is crap, but you get the picture. Whip at the little crack in
the wall where the water is coming out of. The water will drain when its
broken(since when does closing a faucet drain the water in a bath tub?) and
climb down to the platforms and into the room to the left at the bottom.
Annet will be there.
7.Enemies that aren't bosses, but are just as annoying
These are some enemies that will give you trouble in every stage.
Axe Armor
These things are walking armors that toss, or throw axes at you. They take
many hits and can be very annoying with many other enemies on the screen.
Medusa Heads, Bats, and Crows
If I got a penny for every time one of these has knocked me too my death, or
took off lots of health before I even got to the next area, I'd be really
rich. They only take one hit, but with the ways all of them fly, you'll
end up missing alot.
Spear Guard
Purple knights with long spears. You have to stay just far enough to hit
them and not be hit by the spear at the same time. When you see them rear
back with their spears, do a backflip. That move does lots of damage and
sends you flying back.
Found in a few stages, these things are really small, and really fast. You
will miss a few times before hitting them, and they will jump all over you
causing damage.
8.Stupid Tricks You Probably Won't Ever Use During the Game
Here is the section with little tricks I've found while messing around one
day. They aren't very useful in anyway, but what da hell?
1.Reverse Backflip
To do this trick, do a backflip. While pressing B twice, hold the directional
pad in the opposite direction you were facing. Now Richter will do a jump in
the air and then suddenly backflip the opposite direction. Not useful but I
find it cool. 0_o
2.Backward Jump Attack Thing
This one can be useful if you use it correctly. First do a backflip (double
tap B). While Richter is doing the flip, press Y (attack). Richter will
whip while going backwards. You can also use a subweapon for this. I find
this move useful when I'm trying to avoid enemies and attack them at the same
time (like when fighting Death for example).

Cleaning rods not fitting in old Winchester...
Hmmm....we have a problem here. I was at a gun show today and came across some original cleaning rods for an Winchester 1873 carbine so I bought them to complete my Winchester 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine. Well, I came home and put them in the buttstock and they didn't fit. I measured the rifle and it is the right length, measured the rods and they were the right length. Is the stock on this rifle fake? I'm a little sick over this.
The rifle I measured is 38" which I'm pretty sure is right for a carbine and the rods are 7".
Get a flash light and see if there is something stuck in the buttstock.
I did and it doesn't exactly look like its plugged. I don't know what to think, I had a guy that collects old winchester and sells winchester parts look at it and says its all original.

I actually like this, surprise surprise. It hit me like "wham!" all of a sudden, and so I had to write it down. And -gasp- it's canon! Amazing!
And to all of you who I've talked to today, whether it was a PM, review, or otherwise, I thank you, because I am now a hundred times more cheered up. So this is to all of you. I just hope you don't hate it. xD
Disclaimer: Nuh uh.
It was scratching paint off the surface.
Responsibility. A foul, loathsome, soul-straining thing that clenched it's teeth into his being and didn't let up, because it was hateful and he was not. Tainting, tainting, it tried to change him, because he was naïve – yes, he'd admit it – and the world looked down upon the weak. And what was a key, to stop the glare of darkness and condescending stares of expectation? Rather, it fueled it on, so he nearly lost his mind from grief day in and day out, that calm of night where blankets smothered his nightmares and kept his insomnia alive the only thing comforting to him while he was alone.
Yes, he was alone, because he was Keyblade Master and apparently legend gave no room for hope or kinship.
Everything was chipping away at the heart that had once been full in his chest, and his hands were shaking as they tried to cover the gaping hole, the tears trailing out from under the lids of his ceaselessly-moving eyes. His mouth kept twitching, too, the shake and shudder and madness of fear and wretched sadness never giving him that peace of mind that could lie him down and coax him to sleep. Nightmares were a hero's best friend, after all.
Because they were the one thing that would not leave.
Gasping back the tears that choked at his throat and made breathing just another labor of the day for him, he turned alien, furious, steely-blue eyes on the heartless as he rounded about and slashed through with the key that bit into his palm. And he screamed, how he screamed, because with each end of darkness the darkness in his life multiplied, because hope was dwindling away and he knew whatever he did would never be enough.
Falling to his knees, striking his palms on the cobblestones as he doubled over, did not make that truth any easier.
He may have been the perfect picture of happiness once. He may have had a smile true and bright and full of light, so the story would go in rhyme-like quality, but that was happily ever after and this was the hellish sequel. This was where the prince was missing in the shadows, the princess was worlds and worlds away, and the knight was sacrificing himself for a cause that would never be finished, forever left undone.
Oh, how the story went, and the pictures along with it, burning in the fires of disapproval and hopelessness.
He just wanted it to end, he really did, but where he could save the destinies of others he couldn't make his own. He was the hopeless little toy in the game that was only meant to benefit everyone else, and the tears he shed and the blood he gave were only tokens of relief to all those who refused to look past their blinded hopes and see the rank and bitter truth of it all.
Heroes don't have pain, they would think. Heroes don't have regrets.
Well, then. What say they to the hollow shell of a fifteen-year-old boy that he was now? What say they to the lack of color in his life in expression, of the absence of hope, of the worn-away picture that once was a portrait? Were they speechless? Or were they just stubborn?
Because he was stripped of innocence and full of pain now. And if they thought that a hero couldn't scream or feel, then he wasn't much of a hero at all.
Done. Please review.

Your example expands into this expression (see using the macro stepper): (apply (lambda () (+ 1 1)) ()) The second argument, (), is illegal in PLT Scheme v4. The error says '# %app' because it is interpreted as an empty application, which is not allowed. -- Let's back up and look at the skeleton of your macro again: (define-syntax-rule (test proc . args) (apply proc ???)) What is 'args'? Well, it's probably supposed to be a (syntax) list of expressions. What do you need for the final argument of 'apply'? It must be an expression resulting in a list. (Not the same as a list of expressions!) How do you form an expression resulting in a list from a list of expressions? Use the list procedure.

Involving Mind Games
Buy Now...
How safe is safe? The question, in this case, refers to that wide ranging environment we know as the Internet. Like any community, the Internet has its fair share of individuals (and organisations) whose sole aim is to inflict misery on others through various nefarious schemes. While you may feel that you are unlikely to attract the attention of this anti-social and, let's be perfectly clear, criminal element, then such an attitude is like offering an open invitation especially when you consider, that according to the European Commission, online scams are now the fastest growing category of fraud in
While the various players in the field of Internet security keep a close watch on such matters and the various techniques used by those involved in scamming the unwary, McAfee has gone a stage further and produced, in conjunction with Professor Clive Hollin (head of the School of Psychology at the University of Leicester), the McAfee Mind Games Report. This is not a manual for the latest brain-training software advertised recently on television but a serious report that looks at the latest trends with regards scamming and suggests how to fight back against the cyber-mind manipulators. A mind game, according to Professor Hollin, is the interaction, typically conducted through an email or website, between the perpetrator (cybercriminal) and the intended target - that's you and me.
The cybercriminal is particularly adept at using different techniques to achieve his or her purpose which generally involves depriving you of your money or even your identity so that it can be used for illegal purposes. Take, for example, a recent scam that arrived by email and threatened to sue the recipient for sending an unsolicited fax to the sender's office. Pay a settlement or be sued was the option offered. A well-documented case of a US restaurant chain paying an extremely large sum ($11 million) for the sending of unsolicited junk faxes, helped back up the scam and no doubt enough gullible recipients paid up to make it worthwhile.
Sometimes referred to as social engineering, the object of the cybercriminal is to manipulate the victim into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Whether using specially created websites or emails that may or may not contain an attachment offering something for nothing (in fact the means to ensnare you in a web that has no connection with the World Wide variety), the cybercriminal is able to tempt a wide range of users that can include the naive, risk-takers, those vulnerable through a recent change in circumstances, and some who have become so over-confident in their own ability to avoid such pitfalls that they become blas about taking precautions.
We are all pre-disposed to believe in the voice of authority; the endorsement of others even if we know nothing about them; those with similar tastes to our own; and a friendly jokey approach. These are some of the types of approaches used to make that all-important first point of contact and acceptance. How many are focused enough to ignore the offer to click here for a reward or, perhaps, to avoid an unwanted event. Tempting as it may be, offers that are too good to be true are too good to be true. Money for nothing generally means you end up getting nothing for your money.
So just what can you do to avoid falling victim to the online scams currently in vogue and any new ones that are bound to appear as cybercriminals refine their techniques. First be vigilant. Your bank will never ask for your password and PIN number by email. Be suspicious of any email asking for financial information. When possible call companies or a bank to check on the legitimacy of an email plus avoid clicking on a link when you can just as easily use cut & paste or type in the URL yourself.
While being vigilant, you can also make sure you only use secure websites for any online purchases and that your browser software is up-to-date with the latest security patches. As an additional precaution you can download McAfee SiteAdvisor, available free, from www.siteadvisor.com. This has been designed to identity potentially dangerous websites. So be sensible, take care and remember not everybody is as honest as you.
