Alasdair Gray's writing, and in particular his great novel Lanark: A Life in Four Books (1981), is often read as a paradigm of postmodern practice. This study challenges that view by presenting an analysis that is at once more conventional and more strongly radical. By reading Gray in his cultural and intellectual context, and by placing him within the tradition of a Scottish history of ideas that has been largely neglected in contemporary critical writing, Gavin Miller re-opens contact between this highly individualistic artist and those Scottish and European philosophers and psychologists who helped shape his literary vision of personal and national identity. Scottish social anthropology and psychiatry (including the work of W. Robertson Smith, J.G. Frazer and R.D. Laing) can be seen as formative influences on Gray's anti-essentialist vision of Scotland as a mosaic of communities, and of our social need for recognition, acknowledgement and the common life.

Scotland in Theory
Reflections on Culture & Literature
Edited by Eleanor Bell and Gavin Miller
Scotland in Theory offers new ways of reading Scottish texts and culture within the context of an altered political framework and a changing sense of national identity. With the re-establishment of a Parliament in Edinburgh, issues of nationality and nationalism can be looked at afresh. It is timely now to revisit representations of Scottish culture in cinematography and literature, and also to examine aspects of gender, sexuality and ideology that have shaped how Scots have come to understand themselves. Established and younger critics use a variety of theoretical approaches here to catch an authentic sense of a post-modern Scotland in the process of change. Literature and the arts provide radical ways of knowing what Scotland, in theory, could become. The collection will be of interest to teachers and students of Scottish and English literature, literary theory, cultural and media analysis, and the history of ideas. Contributors include Eleanor Bell, Kasia Boddy, Cairns Craig, Thomas Docherty, Christopher Harvie, Ellen Raïssa-Jackson, Willy Maley, Gavin Miller, Tom Nairn, Sarah Neely, Laurence Nicoll, Berthold Schoene, Anne McManus Scriven, A.J.P. Thomson, Ronald Turnbull, Christopher Whyte.

These giant cakes are high in demand lately. This full sheet was for HT-18's change of command ceremony.
(The thing I hate about the giant cakes: it's hard to center the writing)
I saved myself several hours on this cake and went with an edible image for the logo instead of royal icing like last time)

New news on the Go Green MTTI-WellSpring front—we now have paper recycling in the classrooms, student lounge and staff areas! The special green bins with the Go Green logo are to be used for only paper recycling, so please do not place any other trash or items in them.
Going green is a team effort by all WellSpring students, faculty and staff, so please use the bins appropriately.

Prepare to alter alot of baby diapers!
Your package of delight will require about 6000 nappy adjustments prior to graduating to undies. That's a lot of unclean nappies and, depending upon which ones you make use of, either a great deal of waste or a lot of cleaning!
Then there's the poo element– that nappy has actually obtained ta depend on the task. The important things we do for love.
A stitch in time saves 9 … mins of rest
Obtaining a nappy plan in position prior to infant comes will certainly conserve you time, cash as well as power, and also will certainly have a large influence on your environmental footprint. Having claimed that, it's never too late to switch over nappy groups or blend it up a bit relying on your worry for the environment versus your concern for your peace of mind … and your demand for sleep.
Allow's get to know nappies.
Good ol' disposables. With actually just one design, they absorb dampness promptly to protect against leaks and 'lock it in' to maintain your bub reasonably completely dry; are very easy and also fast to fasten; remain shut during usage; as well as fit different shapes and also dimensions.
Recyclable contemporary cloth nappies
Modern fabric nappies (MCNs) are ending up being a lot more prominent and, to be clear, we're not talking the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the brand-new whiz-bang variation featuring a water-resistant cover, watertight elasticised leg holes and also absorbing cushioning as well as liner.
The different styles
There are more than 200 brand names– the majority of which are made by work-at-home mums who sell them over the internet on shops like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorbing inner to develop the nappy– they can take a bit to completely dry.
All-in-twos, additionally called snap-in-ones, include a lined water resistant external layer and absorbent inner layers, which "break in" with press studs. They could be uncoupled for laundering, so they dry out faster than all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a water-proof outer layer sewn together with a soft internal cellular lining, which develops the shell. In between these 2 layers there's a pocket for the absorptive inserts. These are gotten rid of for washing after that replaced, which could be a little bit fiddly yet on the bonus side they dry out quickly.
Old-fashioned terry-towelling square nappies are additionally still available. They can take a little technique to fold and fit right, but they are a cheaper reusable choice compared to MCNs, and also contemporary fasteners indicate you don't also should use security pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– exactly how do I choose in Fabens Texas?
There are a number of considerations, so let's take a look at them.
The ahead of time expense of multiple-use nappies is rather high, yet in the long run it's potentially more affordable than disposables– lowering in cost tremendously with every youngster.
Cloth nappies do need a little bit extra work, and also may be a discomfort when you're out. Just like an exhausted bub.
High quality, well-fitting nappies– whether cloth or non reusable– will keep infant dry, and won't create nappy breakout.
Environmental influence
Disposable nappies actually don't have the very best green online reputation, however there are options to decrease their influence:
Some brands are biodegradable, though conditions in landfill make this deterioration hard to happen.
Some have compostable or recyclable packaging.
Getting locally-made nappies, as opposed to imported, saves money on transport carbon price.
In spite of the ecological costs of fabric manufacturing and also nappy laundering, fabric nappies that are dry-pailed and primarily line-dried still appeared ahead of disposables.
Disposables can be found in various sizes to suit your expanding bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, and also eventually you could removal right into pull-up trousers from some of the very same brands.
MCNs are readily available in repaired dimensions, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has extra attachments for readjusting the nappy as your baby expands.
Fixed-size nappies suggests purchasing brand-new collections as your baby expands bigger, so it can cost more. On the various other hand, if you're having more than one child, you'll utilize the outgrown ones once again.
You'll just need one set of OSFM nappies, however their longer use means more deterioration, and they might only last with one youngster's early stage.
Diaper Materials
The sort of textile utilized affects drying out time. Natural fibers generally take longer to completely dry compared to synthetics, as well as you'll want to make sure you have enough nappies to get with a couple of days of damp weather condition if you don't have a clothes dryer.
Paper or fabric nappy liners make your washing life simpler by keeping solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorbing products (shell linings, pads as well as boosters) include bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated fabric (PUL) or lanolised woollen often used for covers– if you want that kind of point.
I want a decision– which nappy is best?
For environmental and financial factors, you can't pass by MCNs.
For ease-of-use as well as benefit, disposables are the way to go.
Obviously it doesn't have to be one or the various other: you can use towel nappies in the house throughout the day, as well as disposables when out and also about, disappearing, at nights, at day care, and throughout long periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not utilize the dryer.
If you're unsure:
Acquire a single nappy of each type that stimulates your passion.
Some MCN firms offer trial loads with examples of the different designs.
Hire a trial pack from a nappy library, a service used by nappy companies and area groups: browse the net for 'contemporary cloth nappy collection' to locate one near you.
How do I recognize I've picked the appropriate nappy?
Whatever you've decided on, right here's the list for a good nappy:
No leaking around the legs.
No fluid leaking via the cover.
Not too tight or as well loose around hips and also legs.
No rubbing or chafing from the nappy or fasteners around the legs or hips.
Baby's skin feels fairly dry when the wet nappy is removed.
The nappy holds sufficient liquid to be useful (ie you do not have to change too often).
Baby could removal legs freely as well as, at later stages, crawl and walk without being bothered by the nappy.
One last thing, are reusable nappies as much dirty work as they appear?
There's a simple five-step technique called dry pailing, which followers claim make easy work of heavy dirts.
Utilize flushable liners to capture solids.
Separate the components (cover and cushioning) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones avoid in advance to tip 3.
Rinse in chilly water if required.
Place them right into a pail with a cover.
Throw the tons into the washering every other day.
Hopefully you now have a pleased, dry child as well as the only thing you need to worry about is how you'll locate time to Instagram every moment!

Capitals recall goalie Grubauerby NHL.com Staff
The Washington Capitals on Wednesday recalled goalie Philipp Grubauer from the team's American Hockey League affiliate in Hershey.
As a rookie with the Hershey Bears this season, the 21-year-old has posted a 6-4-1 record with a 2.10 goals-against average, a .928 save percentage and one shutout in 12 games.
He spent the first half of the season in the ECHL with Reading and was named a starter in the ECHL All-Star game after going 19-5-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .912 save percentage in 26 appearances. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound German was selected by the Capitals in the fourth round (No. 112) of the 2010 NHL Draft.
The Capitals recalled Grubauer on Wednesday morning because Michal Neuvirth is ill. Grubauer will likely serve as backup to Braden Holtby against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday.

India unveiled the new draft Direct Tax Code ("the Code") in August for public consultation. As per the current timeline table, the draft Code is proposed to be discussed during the winter session of Parliament and is expected to come into force from April 1, 2011. The much awaited Code aims to consolidate and amend the law relating to all Indian direct taxes and pave the way for a single unified taxpayer reporting system. The intent of the Code is to address the twin goals of rationalisation of tax rates and expansion of the tax base. The Code proposes a cut in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 25%, as well as reducing the number of tax exemptions and holidays currently available. New transfer pricing polices including the introduction of an advanced pricing agreement programme seem on the anvil.
When enacted in its final form, the Code will replace the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The endeavour of the revenue authorities has been to keep the language of the Code simple in order to reduce the scope of litigation and provide flexibility and stability in line with accepted international best practices. While the draft Code has evoked mixed reactions so far, it is yet to be seen how the draft Code shapes up eventually when it passes through legislative scrutiny in Parliament!
Legislators would be well advised to bear in mind that "taxation is akin to plucking a goose and the art of taxation is to ensure the maximum number of feathers with the minimum amount of hissing!"
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Hello from Cuzco, the former capital of the Incan empire. Also its high. How high, well if Denver is the mile high city than this is the 2 mile high city at 11,200 ft. (Enjoy your oxygen coastal people's!) Breathing so far hasn't been terrible. It's not hard to breath like asthma but rather you get out of breath often. So I've embraced the local dietary solution of Coca!
Coca tea, coca leaves, coca candy and I even visited the Museo de Coca! Coca is mystical and gives you extraordinary powers. It is ancient and basically built the amazing Incan temples and settlements by giving you energy and reducing appetite.
Also, Cuzco is the preferred starting point for all things Incan. Sunday I took a tour of the sacred valley including a number of sites. The mountains and scenery and scale are unlike anything I've seen before. It takes me a while to comprehend "that peak is over 6000 meters high." Aka 20,000 feet.
Well if you are wondering why I haven't mentioned the big kahuna yet, it's because I'm going tomorrow! An all day trip to Maccu Piccu, I get picked up at my hostel at 3am and won't return to Cuzco till 10pm! Good thing this elevation somehow helps me sleep!
Photos! One of the Pisac terraces and the others are Cuzco.

Hamza Ali Abbasi has an issue with global hit 'Wonder Woman'
'Wonder Woman' is a global hit and reports suggest that the movie's international numbers are higher than many other super hero films including the first two "Thor" and "Iron Man" movies, both "Guardians of the Galaxy" volumes, and "Man of Steel."
Israeli actress Gal Gadot stars in the film as the hero.
But few have noted what Hamza Ali Abbasi noted and he has raised a very valid point about the actress playing the protagonist in the super hero movie.
The 'Pyare Afzal' actor who is known for expressing his views on Facebook and wearing all he believes on his sleeve, wrote on June 9 that the whole world has no objection when a former Israeli soldier " who supports Zionism and the massacre of Palestinians is playing Wonder Woman".
The actor maintained that he knows that "art should be beyond such mortal feeble political arguments" but continued his argument with a question.
"What if… a public supporter of Nazi ideology who endorsed the Holocaust was playing the lead character in a film? The film would be globally banned and that actor would be condemned as a criminal who supports a massacre, some countries like France would even arrrest the actor for supporting the Holocaust" reads his Facebook post.
Hamza ends his post with a famous quote
"Unless the Lion learns how to write, history will always glorify the hunter"
It must be remembered that the Israeli actress, at the age of 20, had served for two years as an enlisted soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, serving as a combat trainer.
She says of her time in the army: "You give two or three years, and it's not about you. You learn discipline and respect"
It is pertinent to note here that Wonder Woman is not Gadot's first Hollywood venture.
She is also known for her role in the Fast and Furious franchise and made her debut as Diana Prince in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".
Reports suggest that she will also appear at least twice more in both "Justice League" movies if she doesn't get a sequel of her own.

No Pictures this time, ran out of inking pens and have to get more :(- OneAwesomeMom
As a mother of three young boys, I put up with a LOT of disgusting crud on a daily. Some things are way more gag-inducing than others, but the absolute worst of the worst includes farting loudly... in public... then shrieking that the fart stinks so bad that someone will surely die... they're probably not wrong.
They also love to hand me bugs, slime, and random crap that creep the hell out of me. Seriously! The more legs, slime, hair, and creepier the better. My reactions are supposedly priceless.
Another thing they love to do is play this game where they eat the most random stuff: dipping apples in ketchup, drinking a concoction of soggy crackers, orange juice, and soup... licking random crud after smelling it... its completely on purpose and the goal is to see if Mom will gag (or better yet, puke. Bonus points if I dont make it to the toilet or outside in time).
My kids can be mean little creeps sometimes, but most of the time, I can handle it without so much as thinly pressing together my lips and/or turning green. I can usually smile and say "that's so gross guys!".
For first-time mothers of boys, RUN AWAY and DO NOT make the mistake of labelling stuff as "gross" or "disgusting"!! They will run off with a look of absolute glee on their faces. As though their Birthday has come early and they've just gotten EVERY SINGLE THING THEY'VE EVER WANTED and like a Gazillion dollars with the loudest most annoying toy ever!!! I wish I was joking. They'll run off, huddle together, whisper at each other, and then pretend that they've forgotten it all.
Please note, I have recently discovered that my threshold for disgusting stuff is lumpy/sour milk... they've also discovered this, and the look of pure serenity has washed over all three of their faces... I think I'm in trouble

Of all the acts that have orbited Toronto's Broken Social Scene, none have embodied the home planet's sprawling, humanist collective ethic better than Kevin Drew's solo work. Along with co-founder Brendan Canning, Drew is the only other member to have had a solo LP — 2010's Spirit If — bear the official "Broken Social Scene Presents" imprimatur. His latest forgoes the sponsorship, but Darlings suggests just how integral Drew was to the collective while also pushing out into new sonic frontiers.
Drew takes BSS's signature blend of soulful grooves and ramshackle rock as his departure point to craft intimate, revelatory confessionals that emphasize the rarity of real connection; he doles out hope and loneliness in equal doses. But where Spirit If sprawled all over the stylistic map on its 66-minute voyage, Darlings sharpens the focus — the 11 tracks average less than four minutes apiece.
The sonic palette is more uniform, too, but no less intriguing for trading expansiveness for depth. With the exception of "Bullshit Ballad," which rolls from processed beats and textures into tumultuous guitar-centric crescendos, nothing recalls those BSS songs that ignited clubs with their strange alchemy of danceable rock catharsis.
Instead, the various emotional hues of late-night after-parties color these songs — mostly through a slew of keys and synths — in diaphanous veils. The hazy textures and narcotic tempo of "My God" keep the song at a pillow whisper, Drew intimating that he's got "a river filled with darlings who connect to the words in my gut."
The pace quickens slightly with "It's Cool," but the song's synths swirl around the listener like a comforting cocoon. "Body Butter" and "Good Sex" highlight Drew's ease in digging deep grooves at mid-tempos, and for depicting everybody's favorite act with lascivious carnality or in post-coital indigo.
"Mexican Aftershow Party," which features that phrase and a circular melody ad nauseum, pushes too far into this new direction. But it's a misstep that outlines the direction's furthest limits, which tells you Drew still wields the same BSS experimental yardstick. Darlings may forgo the arena transcendence of the old home planet, but then again it's after something far more intimate — your heart.
For the most part, its aim is true.

You're viewing a comment by yitzle and its responses.
And for the commands that do not take a filename as an argument, you can do:
$ command < file
$ nc -l -p 6666 < file
Regarding tar, by default it uses STDIN, so -f - is the default behavior. Therefore, these two commands do the same thing:
$ tar -c /data $ tar -cf - /data
(Ditto with the tar -x)
All in all, great article! Thanks.

Yesterday afternoon, I received a group of Spanish winemakers from Ribera del Duero, Vina Sastre, who wanted me to taste their Regina Vides 2003. A good wine, but especially their micro cuvee Pesus 2004. Murielle and I found it particularly astonishing, to the point that we finished the bottle for dinner. The price of these 2 wines is simply very expensive. Is that due to a marketing decision or because of demand?
Yesterday alone, I probably tasted around ten wines, and in addition to the wholesalers, I went around visiting négociants and cellars.
Cheval Blanc 2006 with the small volumes it released, won't be difficult to sell, but if the allocations keep on being reduced, all these great wines will end up in the micro cuvee category (as the term garage doesn't apply).

Electric Shavers Do Have Some Advantages
It is a fact of life that disposable razors are expensive.

ANDERTON CONCRETE PRODUCTS LTD seeks to achieve industry best practice standards of health and safety. We recognise that this is a critical issue for all of our stakeholders, particularly for our employees and contractors.
It is Anderton Concrete Products Limited policy to provide a healthy and safe workplace and ensure by all "reasonably practicable" means that all employees are protected against the risk of injury or occupational ill health.
The Managing Director and the management team believe that most accidents involving injuries to persons or damage to property, plant or equipment, can be avoided through reasonable standards of care. It considers that the incidence of such accidents and their harmful effects to employees, visitors and others on Company premises can and should be minimised by means of full co-operation between management and employees.
Anderton Concrete Products Limited will seek to promote its policy by all appropriate measures. It will provide such resources, organisational arrangements, systems of work and training as required. It will regularly review methods of ensuring that there is minimal risk of injury or ill health to individuals in the course of their employment, and of damage to property, plant and equipment.
In meeting the above objectives, Anderton Concrete Products Limited will demonstrate a clear commitment to exceeding the standards of available guidance and known industrial practices, wherever reasonably practicable. To achieve these objectives, it is essential that all company employees work to maintain and promote the appropriate safety management systems and create a safety first culture.
The ultimate responsibility for the implementation of this Health & Safety Policy lies with the Managing Director.
The Production Director, in conjunction with the Production Managers at each of the manufacturing sites, will assist in the implementation of this policy and shall seek to secure the efficient and fair operation of such detailed arrangements as may be appropriate.
The responsibility for the implementation of the Health & Safety Policy on a day to day basis lies with management at all levels, within Anderton Concrete Products Limited.
Health and Safety legislation and other requirements will be kept under review by the Health, Safety and Environmental Officer to ensure that all management is aware of developments which may affect their responsibilities, function or activities. The responsible Production Managers are expected to take full account of Anderton Concrete Products Limited Health and Safety management system, Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidance and industry best practice. Local management will also promote such other measures as may be appropriate and practical to achieve and maintain suitable standards.

After declining by 1.1% from 2003-2008, US demand for independently compounded thermoplastics is set to reach 3.4m t, at a value of USD 6 bn, in 2013, a new study by US market research company Freedonia (Cleveland, Ohio; www.freedoniagroup.com) predicts. If proven correct, this means the market will have increased by 200,000 t over its 2003 volume of 3.2m t. In 2008, the independently compounded thermoplastics market dropped to 3m t, reflecting the global downturn.
The US market researchers ascribe this growth to the need for higher performance compounds, coupled with independent compounders' ability to rapidly develop produce and meet delivery deadlines.

Recipe from the Pioneer Woman, using vinegar + milk in place of buttermilk, and lard in place of shortening.
this is my first visit to your blog, great reading and I look forward to coming back.. like you I love my cast iron fry pan... I was inspired by the Pioneer woman as well, it makes great bread and I won't go back to teflon. Your cornbread looks scrumptious!ReplyDelete
Yum! I love cornbread. I'm going to make a batch later this week to have with baked beans. :)
And you use lard! Okay, lard (and real butter?) and cornbread and cast iron cookware and you save Sobeys points and stock up on good meat sales, and I've only read one post so far ... can we be best friends now?
I KNEW I smelled cornbread the other day!! I just couldn't tell which direction it was coming from. Life is not complete without an iron skillet - when you come south to visit we'll show you some other food that just isn't right unless it's cooked in an iron skillet!ReplyDelete
Wendy - thanks, and it's great to see new readers!! It's the first recipe from PW that I've tried, and it turned out so well, I'm looking forward to trying others!ReplyDelete
Canadian Doomer - LOL! And yes, I *always* use real butter - in fact, I use a combo of lard and butter in my pie pastry :)
Sure we can be best friends - in fact, if we lived closer, I'd be there learning how to pressure can (without the burns, though - ouch!!)!
Hey Karen! I will have to travel south soon, but your sister tells me you are a magnet for natural disasters, so I don't think I'll be visiting you... ;)ReplyDelete
Oh, burns are BAD! That's the first lesson - learn from my mistakes and don't get burnt. Who knew you could get a steam burn, in seconds, through an oven mitt? My preschooler's been laughing at my bright green bandaid all day, and the baby's been trying to pull it off.
Pie pastry ... now there's a frontier I haven't explored in decades. I have echoes in my mind of my mother, back when I was a teen, saying "Well, you just can't make pie crust."

homework, there are many reasons that grading is detrimental to learning. Here are the top 5 reasons I don't give grades.
5 -- Grades are always subjective. Since the teacher decides how material is taught and assessed, it's subjective. You can argue that many activities and test questions are either right or wrong, but if you don't give students a variety of ways to show what they know, as well as chances to relearn lessons, then objectivity is compromised.
4 -- A points and percentages system discriminates. Students who are motivated by grades complete assignments. They always turn them in, earn their points and, consequently, get high grades. Students who don't see any value in the activities that garner points don't complete them. They, in turn, receive zeroes and failing grades. Hence, the grades create a culture of "good" and "bad" students. The high achievers are promoted to advanced classes, while the low achievers are placed in remediation. This sort of academic discrimination can scar a child for life.
3 -- Poor weighting of activities punishes some students while rewarding others. Most teachers struggle with weighting activities (another practice that should be banned). I've seen teachers whose tests are 75 percent of a marking period's grade, while others value homework at 50 percent or higher. Consider the student who does all of his homework but is scared out of his wits on test day. In Mr. 75 Percent's class, this kid fails. Conversely, an intelligent student, who wants to manipulate a bad system, will ignore all of the activities and projects, ace the tests, and easily pass.
2 -- Grades turn even honest kids into cheaters. In the study hall that I supervise daily, I see a shocking amount of cheating. I've often asked students copying a peer's work why they do it. The answer is always some version of the same thing: "It's due next period, and I'll get a zero, if I don't hand it in." In a class with no grades, students never have a reason to cheat. There's no punishment awaiting them, if something isn't done.
1 -- When students perform for points or letters, they lose any interest in real learning. Grades are nothing more than the carrots and sticks of education. They reward the "good" kids, whose parents browbeat them nightly to complete all activities, study hard and get those A's. Promises of Honor Roll, Merit Scholar and other elite badges await those cunning enough to maneuver the flawed system of grading. They may even get to the Ivy League, having learned very little about learning. Meanwhile, their counterparts, many of them likely impoverished, hungry and struggling to comprehend the value in the assignments and tests they see daily, face a life of remediation, retention and ridicule.
Sadly, some of these kids are the brightest of them all, but they are doomed by letters, the numbers and the grades.

The humorous writing of Dee. W. Schofield
Short StoriesFiled under Short Story, WritingMar 5

I hope you enjoy them.Comments Off
Welcome to Dee's Web PageFiled under Misc., Novels Under Consideration, WritingNov 16
Welcome to everyone who happens to stumble past here. Unless you were directed here by Dean, you have far too much time on your hands.
This web site is for novelist and short story writer, Dee W. Schofield. (Shhhhh…. don't tell anyone, but Dee is actually an open pen name for the bestselling writer Dean Wesley Smith.) I will be posting updates on the progress of getting one of many novels published.
And who knows, maybe I will even put up here an original short story or two as time goes on.
Right now, I (meaning me, Dee Schofield) have two novels out on editor's desks. One is a science fiction romance called Dust and Kisses. After a time, I will serialize the entire novel here, so stay tuned for that. It's pretty decent if I do say so myself, even though one reader said it had too many dead bodies in it to be a romance. I don't think that's an issue anymore in the world of zombie romance with parts falling off.
A second novel I have out is called Subway Martians, a humorous science fiction romance, called paranormal these days. Following is the short blurb about the book. Hope you enjoy and will stop by at times. I'll try to keep it interesting.
Best in snarkness, Dee
Blurb for
Subway Martians
Hundreds of feet underground, hurtling through the dark at seventy miles an hour, subway drivers see things no other humans see. Kimberly Oakley, subway driver and eBay doll seller, has seen her share of strange things over the years, but never before a Martian, especially one with blond hair, a perfect business suit, deep blue eyes, and a desire to die. She mows him down with her train as he smiles at her like he's trying to pick her up.
Turns out, he was.
But not just for sex. He wanted much, much more from her.
Can a doll collector and a Martian find true love?
Maybe after the invasion.Tagged as: Martian Lovers, part of a novel, publishing, Welcome, WritingComments Off

M. Laurent BOIX VIVES has informed the Managing Board of the offer he has received from QUIKSILVER Inc., which leads to transfer the control of the ROSSIGNOL Group and to the creation of the new world leader of outdoor.
Since he took over ROSSIGNOL in 1955, M. Laurent BOIX VIVES has tremendously spread the activities of the company, and established our market positions all around the world. He took this opportunity to stress the support of an "always more performing team".
The proposal of QUIKSILVER appears to be the best for the group to keep creating projects, products, and values. A new future and new ambitions open up for us. The new group will be named QUIKSILVER-ROSSIGNOL Inc.
The complementarities with ROSSIGNOL are numerous:
positions of world leaders, with strong and internationally recognized brands.* The same values of authenticity, dynamism, sense of effort and of surpassing oneself, of passion for nature. The two groups support athletes at the best world level.
QUIKSILVER and ROSSIGNOL have perfect complementarities in sliding sports: sea, urban and snow, summer and winter, apparel and equipment. Moreover, ROSSIGNOL brings a strong position in golf.
The know-hows combine, and will benefit to each to add to its range of products and to grow in new fields (brands, products, countries).M. Laurent BOIX VIVES indicated that he will remain actively involved, that he wishes this project will gather the largest support, and that he is confident in the assembled teams to succeed.

SUPERSUB Steven Naismith struck a perfect hat-trick to hand Everton a brilliant victory over champions Chelsea.
The Scot came off the bench at Goodison Park after just nine minutes to replace the injured Mo Besic and scored soon after coming on.
After linking with up with Brendan Galloway, Naismith connected with the left-back's cross to head Everton in front.
Five minutes later, Naismith doubled the Blues' lead when he rifled a left-footed shot, low and hard beyond Asmir Begovic from outside the area.
Goodison was rocking but Chelsea, who had been poor up to that point, gave themselves a foothold in the game when Nemanja Matic hammered a 30-yard effort past Tim Howard nine minutes before the break.
Chelsea tried to build pressure in the second-half but Everton stood firm and, with seven minutes remaining, Naismith extended the home side's lead.
Ross Barkley, who had laid on the pass for his second goal, slipped the 28-year-old in down the right and Naismith finished clinically to make it 3-1 from a tight angle, this time with his right-foot.
Everton move up to third in the table with their second win of the season while Naismith becomes the club's leading scorer in the Premier League era against Chelsea with six goals.
EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Galloway, McCarthy, Barry, Kone (Lennon 72), Barkley, Besic (Naismith 9), Lukaku. Subs: Robles, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Osman, Funes Mori.
Goals: Naismith (17, 22, 83)

Wonderful! Two Karmapas Finally Meet.
Joint Statement of the two Karmapas: We are going to work together for the benefit of the lineage and all sentient beings.

3y3m retreat start & Manjushri public program @ Manjushri Retreat Center, TH
Student: "Rinpoche once said that there are many ways to practice and we can choose one to fit our capacity, can you say more about this?"
Rinpoche: "There is the way of Milarepa, which is intensive practice and brings the best results, and there is the way of practice like Marpa, a householder, and the way of Gampopa, head of a monastery. You can choose which way suits you best; it's very important to know where we are and practice step by step forward from there."
"Scientists are very advanced about technology,
Buddhists are very advanced about the mind"
"Purification during practice is like washing clothes, when the clothes are there, they look very clean and nice, but when we wash them, dirt will come out. Similarly, when we practice, difficult emotions and sickness will be pushed out. Without washing, we don't know the clothes are dirty, without practice, we don't know how much garbage we carry with us."
"When our mind remains in peace and equanimity, outside problems will not effect us much;
when our mind is unstable, not functioning well, unhappy, our outer wealth will remain unhelpful!"
"Do not pay too much attention to experience during meditation, whatever you have, it's not good, not bad, just continue. This is what Milarepa said to Gampopa."
"We need some samadhi in daily life, or else we will feel we are the victim of everything, pushed and pulled by everyone."
"Lacking the experience of precious human life and impermanence lead to laziness and distraction. You don't have to stop completely all your hobbies, but sometimes it's good to do, sometimes its good to stop. With experience of precious human life and Impermanence, I mean actual experience not just understanding of words. Such actual experience will help you see the futility of all worldly distraction and thus practice Dharma naturally."
"We do many exercises for our body because we know the benefit of doing it. But we do not know how important mind exercise is;
when we face the difficulty of feeling lost or feeling unsatisfied in our material world then we might find benefit in training our mind."

Hannah Ha and John Hickin, Partners, Mayer Brown JSM
Margin squeeze is a form of exclusionary abuse where a (fully or partially) vertically integrated business controlling a key input or facility in the upstream market sells that input to its downstream rivals at substantially less favourable terms, to strengthen its own market power in the downstream market and hamper the ability of downstream rivals to compete effectively.
When is margin squeeze harmful to competition?
Although businesses generally have no duty to deal, or deal fairly, with its competitors, under certain circumstances a margin squeeze may cause undue foreclosure in the downstream market to equally efficient competitors.
Margin squeeze is a common practice in Hong Kong, and will only contravene competition law in very narrow circumstances. When assessing whether a margin squeeze may amount to abuse, the Competition Commission will consider:
The nature of the upstream input or facility.
- The more important the input or facility and the more substantial it is as a proportion of overall production cost in the downstream market, the greater the potential negative impact on competition in the downstream market.
- Supplying a key input or facility at unreasonable terms is akin to a constructive refusal to deal, which is unlikely to be problematic unless the business has a duty to deal in the first place.
- The size of the margin squeeze.
Competition in the downstream market may be restricted where the business with substantial market power in the upstream market:
- Sells an input to its downstream rivals at a price which exceeds the price at which it sells the end-product in the downstream market.
- Uses profits from inflated prices charged to downstream rivals to subsidise its own cost of production, in order to sell the end-product at a below-cost price in the downstream market.
- Competition in the downstream market may be restricted where the business with substantial market power in the upstream market:

Graduate Student Academic Responsibilities
While your academic advisor and professors have specific and significant roles in your education at GW, you – the student – have an equally significant role with specific responsibilities. Academic advising is a two-way street and you must be proactive in your relationship with your academic advisor. In the advising relationship, you are responsible for:
Knowing your degree requirements. Degree requirements are available online at the MBA Programs and Specialized Master's webpages. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with this information and discuss questions and options with your academic advisor.
Tracking your degree progress. You are expected to utilize the tools available to you in order to plan each semester to make continued academic progress towards graduation and to remain in good standing with the University. These tools include:
Adding and dropping courses. You must register for your classes each semester through GWeb (with the exception of the first-year Global MBA students who are registered by MBA Programs). Accordingly, you must drop any course you do not attend by the appropriate deadline for fall/spring or summer. To drop a course after the add/drop period, you must complete a Registration Transaction Form and submit it to your academic advisor. Notifying a professor or academic advisor in person or via email that you are dropping a course does not initiate a course drop in the registration system. Refunds for dropped course are assigned according to a schedule determined by the University Registrar.
Planning ahead. You should always anticipate your short-term and long-term needs and work with your academic advisor early and often to prepare for and meet those needs.
Communicating with your professors. Whether you are sick, struggling academically, expecting to miss a class, or seeking career advice, you must initiate communication with your professors. You can speak with the professor after class, make use of their office hours, or communicate via email.
Checking your GWMail. Email is our primary means of communicating with you.

Inspired by Burning Man
DH — Sun, 02/28/2010 - 17:27
In 1999, Philip Linden went to Burning Man, and came back with new ideas for the virtual world he was planning. Among them was the idea that humans abhor a blank canvas and will compulsively create form to fill void. They will provide their own content and entertainment and create a whole city (or world) when they are given permission and tools to do so.
Humans will naturally form community when physical and emotional conditions are harsh and they are wrenched out of their usual comfort zone. Humans are resourceful. The fewer the tools that are available, the more creative and amusing are their solutions to problems of food, shelter, transportation, art, leisure and identity.
What happens at the real life Burning Man is quite phenomenal. This real-world city of 50,000, built entirely by its citizens, is 100 miles from the nearest source of supplies. Yet it has roads, street signs, an FAA-approved airport, a power grid, a hospital, huge public plazas, street lights, processions, rituals and spectacles. It has fabulous fashions, ridiculous situations and artworks so raw they are literally dangerous.
"No Spectators" is a common meme and in fact, passive consumption of amusement is pretty difficult in a Survival Camping environment such as this. You must bring with you everything you need to survive, since nothing is for sale and exchange of money is forbidden in Black Rock City.
Water, shelter, food— the hot tub, the 3-storey duck-shaped nightclub you designed, the fabulous sequined cocktail dress, the personal flame thrower— you need to bring it all with you! And people do. Many camps roll onto the playa with fully loaded 16-wheelers and hundreds of camp-mates anxious to get to work building their vision.
BUT - It's all temporary. At the end of a week, much of the artwork is burned, and every last speck of what was brought there is taken away again, down to the last sequin, Leaving No Trace of the city that was just there. When the winter rains come, even the footprints will vanish.
Till next year....

Mario Silva, in his weekly public television show La Hojilla, has accused Lorenzo Mendoza, president of Venezuela's private food products corporation Empresas Polar, of being "linked to the financing of a dirty war media campaign based on [producing] psychological terror against Venezuela, for which it has used 7,200 million Bolivars, with the purpose of generating hopelessness [desesperanza] and chaos [zozobra] among the people [by using] the supposed scarcity of basic products."
According to the Agencia Venezolana de Noticias (AVN), Silva said that the media terror campaign against Venezuela also includes other Venezuelan businessmen living in Miami, the "rightist" party Primero Justicia, and "recently created digital media outlets, which are in charge of taking to the masses the contents of the dirty war in order to create an negative environment, not only in Venezuela, but also in international circles."
Later during the show the CIA, Álvaro Uribe, Armando Briquet, Julio Borges, and Maria Corina Machado, were also included by Silva as part of the plot.
Silva quoted three webpages as the main vehicles of this "terror campaign" against the country: pordavidnci.com, infovzla.com, and cambiavenezuela.com. These webpages are, according to Silva, each financed by Empresas Polar, "Miami based businessmen," and the Primero Justicia party, respectively.
Facebook and twitter were also included by Silva in an "open alliance with the most terrible sectors of fascism."
Yván Gil, Minister of Agriculture, also recently accused Empresas Polar of being part of the "economic war" against Venezuela. Gil argues that the evidence of Polar's participation in the economic war is that the company has been importing corn instead of producing it in the country.
The Minister said: "The position of Empresas Polar is to maximize its earnings through the oil revenues we have been transferring to them, this allows them to generate distortions in the local market, and thus they can preserve that model [of maximizing earnings], and keep that vicious circle turning. This is what we have been seeing and it is the maximum expression of the economic war."
Gil also explained what the economic war actually is and responded to those who "trivialize and make fun" of the idea that an economic war is actually being waged against the country: "It has been proven that the economic war responds to a methodology designed by the most powerful empire on earth. It [the Empire] uses the worldwide media control to manipulate the basic needs of the human being. It uses its control over the means of production, and even with all that power, we, a country of only 30 million and modest capabilities, have resisted together with the president [Maduro] in good shape and they have not been able to put us up against the ropes."


text: The popular Android game, Dead Trigger, has gone free to play. The game has dropped from the extremely affordable price tag of $0.99 to the even better price tag of free. The developer claimed the drop in price was due to massive piracy, even with the game costing only $0.99. Check out Madfinger Game's statement on the price drop below. It's unfortunate that the developers had to make this decision, especially since the game was only $0.99. If you enjoy an app, its worth paying the developer, that way they can continue to create content and new apps without adding in app purchases or invasive DRM.

Some of The best WWE/TNA stars in there best matches yet
Sandra A. Gingras | 01/29/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

-Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk - 12/4/04 (features new commentary)
-Homicide vs. Antonio "MVP" Banks - 2/19/05 (features new commentary)
-James (Noble) Gibson vs. Roderick Strong - 4/2/05 (features new commentary)

-Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal vs. Low Ki and Homicide - 8/13/05
Bonus material:
-The History of Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk

-Mick Foley and CM Punk promo
Yes this Includes former/current US. Champion MVP, former ECW Champion CM Punk, one half of the longest reigning WWE Tag team Champions Brian Kendrick, former TNA tag team champions Homicide, Former NWA World Champion Christian Cage. Current WWE stars Jamie Noble, Mick Foley, and Matt Hardy. Current TNA stars Jay Lethal and Samoa Joe. Current Japanese and TNA star Curryman/Christopher Daniels as well as former TNA stars Low-ki/Senshi and Roderick Strong.
ROH was the first company to have gotten a 5 star match rating from the Wrestling Observer in many years. Think CM Punk is great in WWE? This shows his best work in CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe in a wrestling classic. This even includes some of Punk's best promo work. This is Pro Wrestling at its best.
If you like Hardcore Wrestling check out Bloodstained Honor. From Chrimson masks and blood soaked matts you will see the most brutal matches ever in Pro Wrestling. However if that isn't your type of wrestling check out this DVD as they aren't just Hardcore they have the best submission, chain wrestling, high flying, pro wrestling styles in the world.
Ring of Honor
A. Pierre | Somewheres | 04/14/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ive heard of ROH for awhile now and wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I've been a die hard WWE fan for all my life and I was getting sick of the company. TNA seemed the place to go till they hired Kurt Angle and they turned into a carbon copy of WWE. Ring of Honor seemed the place to look, considering that everyone raves that its the best wrestling around. I researched it on You Tube and I loved what I saw. The dvd is worth the price and I cannot wait for other releases that are coming out within a few months. The picture is crystal clear. However, I dont think this is the best of ROH. I know some ROH might comment about somethings I say, please do. However, please remember that everyone has an opinion.
Pros: Excellent wrestling and some of the greatest stars in wrestling today. Alot of great matches but a few aren't that good-Homicide VS Antonio Banks-could have been left out. Also, loved how babyfaces did not always win.
Cons: Cheap shots at WWE are out dated; Seems they are trying to make money of names that are already well known (Samoa Joe, CM Punk, Matt Hardy); Hated how a few matches ended with a roll-up alot of ROH stars have awesome finishing moves; The commentators are very soft spoken
Overall, I like Ring of Honor. A good starting place for ROH but check out there website for better dvds of ROH."

Move xp backup to Raid drive
Just wondering what or if I could move an xp backup onto a raid 0 drive.
I did setup the drives in raid in the bios, and they show as raid.
I booted into my marcium backup and ran my xp backup onto the drive,
that showed in marcium as a raid 0 drive.
When I booted, which went fine, into xp it shows in disk management as raid 0.
But the problem is,
it shows two drives, together and the 2nd drive as being un partitioned.
therefore i'm only running on one drive.
Is this fixable, or do I need a clean install?
|My System Specs
|30 May 2012
Upon further inspection,
It seems the raid is active and that my backup restore partitioned it's own previous volume size onto the raid disk.
As seen as 111g, with an 187g un partitioned drive.
As the drives are 160gb each on the raid, and the original drive was a 120g.
I can only assue even tho twice now that I have used the option in marcium for it to restore onto the geometery of the drive present, that is has not.
So as a fix I will try a partition program and try to open up the rest of the drive.
fingers crossed.
|My System Specs
|30 May 2012
After a little bit of a hassle with some free programs for extending the partition, that didn't work.
As they would not see any of my raid drives, just the drives themselves.
This was booting from thier recovery disks, I decided to try and boot into my win7 raid.. on the same computer ofcourse.
And extended the partition through it's disk management program, seemed to work.
All seems good now, just some updates to run :)
