When I upgraded my main system from Fedora 28 to Fedora 29 and then, after an SSD failure, reinstalled Fedora 29, I found some changes that were perplexing. Panel settings used to behave such that when the appearance opacity was set to zero, only the background would become transparent and the icons would remain at full intensity. With Xfce 4.13, this changed. Now the opacity affects both background and icons so that if opacity is set to zero, both background and icons disappear.
Apparently, this was deliberate. What has changed is that there is a separate choice for the background. To get it to work like it used to, one needs to go into the panel dialog for Appearance and select the option for Solid Color. Then one needs to click on the color box. Then underneath, select the + for custom color which then goes to a color picker chart Then use the slider on the side or use the mouse to select a color. Then move the bottom slider all the way to the left to turn that color transparent or choose some point in between transparent and full intensity.
After that, the sliders for Opacity on the Appearance page will affect the intensity of the icons but the background will be transparent if that is what you select. Since I could not find any documentation of this behavior, I had filed a bug on the Xfce bugzilla. That was where I found out about the new way of doing things. I offer this up so that others won't experience the frustration I did with this change.

Memory 014 - The Wonders of Life
WDWMemories Lou 9:42 AM
Time: 54:14
Today's episode was suggested to me by Luke Manning of the Everything Disney podcasts. His request was The Wonders of Life Pavilion in Epcot. In his email to me, Luke said:
"I was wondering if you could play some audio from the Wonders of Life pavilion. I know you were there in December, so u might have some. If not, then I'd also like to hear Journey into Imagination with Figment. Yeah, they're both Epcot... my favorite park. It holds a enormous place in my heart."

Points of Light
I've been working on oil paintings on panel for my upcoming solo gallery show at Articulated Gallery in San Francisco opening September 1st. Below are a few IN-PROGRESS shots. Something different I'm doing this time around is painting on panel, rather than canvas, and framing all the pieces.

Sisters of Necessity
Today I dropped off my painting for the "Myth" Group show ay Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. My wonderful camera is not functioning, so I borrowed one to get a few snaps. Sadly, they are blurry and a bit washed out, but until I can get pro photos, this is the best I've got to post! Opening night for the show is Saturday, July 14th 6-10 pm. I chose the Daughters of Necessity (the Three Fates). One spins the thread of life, one determines its length, and one cuts the thread when time has come for death. I titled it "Sisters of Necessity Weaving our Cords of Life" and re-worked the idea a bit. Instead of literally showing 3 daughters, I decided to show one with 3 sets of hands doing the weaving, length-determining, and cutting, and played with the idea of hair and its similarities to these threads that record our life story, since hair holds our DNA and is therefore a record-keeper as well. The colors of the threads were chosen from an Ancestral Alignment ritual for a Sacred Tree Cord from Raven Grimassi's "The Cauldron of Memory".

The Flame Leads the Way
Today a new friend of mine gave me a mediumistic reading, and afterwards he began to ask me about my Tarot paintings. He's a Tarot reader and offered me very specific feedback that changed my perspective about my own paintings! The reading he gave me beforehand was all about taking something and turning it slightly to completely change the perspective of it, so this talk about my paintings was just in line with the reading and was a great eye-opener! One of the things he was curious about was my use of the colors orange and red. At the time, I explained to him that orange, for me, is the color of self-empowerment and resides in our inner-experience, or can be found within, while red (representing many actions and emotions) was the expression of outward power, or the motion of inward power outward to its interaction with the world outside of self. All day I've been preparing Ephel Duath packages to send out and have let my mind open to the idea of perspective. As I took a break and walked to get dinner, I began talking with one of my Spirit Guides and we continued this discussion about perspective. She showed me the image of a flame and I instantly got the message: the flame is a representation of the path of our energy, or inner-knowing to its experience out in the world..in other words, it is the example of what happens when we let the universe and knowing and journey within travel outside ourselves to interact with others: it is light from the darkness, it lights the way and attracts others looking for the same experience. Candles, further, are lit in places of dark, darkness, and shadows. An absence of light, darkness is connected to the idea of secrets, the unknown, the occult, what is hidden. We think of finding the truth in that darkness: we meditate there, we have Spirit Circles in darkened rooms, we feel we are finding secrets in a darkened library, we hold our rituals in darkened rooms, we look for ghosts in shadowy buildings, we seek treasures in forgotten antique shops on side streets, and we tip toe into the unbeaten path, and we instinctively feel that old, dusty books containing information from our ancestors hold keys to finding the deeper truth about our present. Again, like the black holes in our universe, from that darkness comes the light; the knowing and the awakening, and our understanding of this is literally "brought to light" out in the world, where we experience ourselves and see ourselves reflected in others. At the center of a lit candle is a magnesium blue (Spirit), then yellow flame (intellect, knowing, inner-communication), glowing outward from this orange (self-power), then a red halo that connects to the space around this flame (outward projection of power and the interaction of what's within). I unknowingly used this idea in several of my tarot paintings: With "The Emperor" I wanted to convey the youthful idea of expanding empowerment that, especially for others, finds itself out in the world leading and inspiring. The orange and red here convey a sense of relaxed confidence and trust in personal power. With "The Fool" I painted the body in yellow ochre tones with orange and red outlines (as his body meets with the atmosphere), and his triangle of manifestation is orange "Strength" uses red to depict the struggle for balance within oneself in attempt to portray a united personality out in the world And in "Calling in the Four Quarters", rather than typical violet or green energy coming from the Healer's hands, I rather chose the color of clairvoyance, inner-knowing, intellect and communication to be the energy she's sending out into the world around her, where she's surrounded by her own self-empowerment which is changing the shape of the space around her.

Out In
San Francisco is a strange city, and one of its wonderful secrets is that is has so many nooks and crannies of unexpected nature and very different neighborhoods. Not a far walk from my apartment is a favorite patch of forest of mine. On the way to a small grove of redwood trees where I partake in ancient rituals involving ancestor path working is an enormous tree with sprawling roots. One of the roots has a flattened area, just room enough for one person to sit and feel embraced amongst its twisting branches. After listening to Davide record parts of a song for the forthcoming full-length Ephel Duath album, I felt I needed to get out into nature. I came here today to work on an interview for Ephel Duath.(published interview links can be found here Ephel Duath Official fb and here Karyn Crisis Official fb page. Thanks to all who've reviewed, spread the word, and posted links! This place is a special gift for being with Spirit in nature, and I always leave feeling recharged. Often I wish I could live inside this tree like Mr. Fox, even though Davide and I have brought alot of nature into our apartment. Ahhh. Back to work!

The Shining
Recently, I had the pleasure of designing a Tshirt for my band, Ephel Duath. At first, this was a challenge. I don't consider myself great at designing logos or tshirt designs. But Davide encouraged me to go for it, so I did. I made a triangle stamp and used it to create a skull, playing with the idea of transformation in a skull; bones being something that lasts long after our spirit departs our physical body, and it remains as a symbol of eternal life as well as a literal body of dna; something that is a record-keeper of our experiences and ancestry...and the triangle being a symbol of transformation and manifestation.The tshirt was a collaboration with graphic designer Dehn Sora who added the letters and text. The shirt is special issue, limited to 100 pieces and can be ordered here:EPHEL DUATH LTD ED TSHIRT Drawing this tshirt design inspired me so much that I continued to draw and came up with a book full of tattoo designs based on line drawings. I felt compelled also to create some small works to sell: a series I call my Shining Skulls. "Shining" as a reference to clairvoyance. These drawings will be for sale in my etsy shop,here:SECRET ARTS And...I have more in the works....

In the Spring I did a book post that a few folks found useful so I thought I'd share a list of our Summer stories as well. Most of these are standard fare in the Waldorf community. If that's where you reside, there are likely few surprises that follow. Of all the seasons I have found that, oddly, our Summer collection is the smallest. If you have favorites of your own, please share them in the comments. I'd love to hear your suggestions and expand our current repertoire.
Peter in Blueberry Land by Elsa Beskow is a century old classic wherein Peter goes out looking for blueberries for his mother's birthday and falls into a magical miniature adventure with the help of the King of Blueberry Land. As with all of Elsa Beskow's books, the story and the telling are comfortingly gentle and sweet and the illustrations are, like the tale, magical with their soft, beautiful watercolors in the art nouveau style.
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey is a somewhat more modern but still classic Caldecott story of Sal and her mother going gathering on Blueberry Hill. Just as they begin their picking, Little Bear and his mother come to fill their tummies with berries as well. Of course there is no gruesome encounter of the pairs but just a sweet crossing of paths. What Naiya and I especially enjoy in this one are the opening and closing block print illustrations of Sal and her mother canning their delicious cache in their classic 1950's kitchen.
The Story of the Wind Children by Sibylle von Olfers is a late Summer tale that transfers in September to our Autumn basket as well. In it little George is playing with his boats by the lakeside but despairs when no wind comes to make them sail. He and his vessels are saved by a wind sprite who blows them across the lake and then proceeds to take George on a number of playful adventures. Since reading this one, Naiya has begun calling dandelions by the delightful name of "fairy clocks". So sweet.
Flower Fairies of the Summer is one of a series of books by Cicely Mary Barker that I have mentioned before. It's a collection of poems and strikingly accurate illustrations of about twenty common summer flowers. Although Ms. Barker was English and so penned what was typical and familiar in her part of the world, we here in the Pacific Northwest reside at a similar latitude and enjoy nearly the same climate as her merry old country and so luckily find similar foliage in our gardens and natural spaces. In addition to loving the rhymes and fairy pictures, we often use these books for identification purposes.
Summer is another in a compendium of six books from Wynstones Press. It contains a variety of songs, poems and stories of the season collected from various authors. We like to use its tales and verses as inspiration for our daily puppet shows and play at our Nature Table. It even contains special, hard to find narratives for Whitsun and the Day of St. John.
A Kiss for Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik with illustrations by Maurice Sendak isn't really a Summer story at all but it is one of a series of books we're currently enjoying that we only recently discovered (so I thought I'd share it anyway). It's a really sweet tale of a kiss being passed from one animal friend to another as it makes its journey between Little Bear and his Grandmother. We've turned this one into a staple at puppet show time and Naiya especially likes to gather up all her animals and act out the passing of the kiss from one to another before the festive wedding arrives at the end to finish the fun.
If you've got any seasonal favorites, won't you let us know about them?...

This week, MedImmune and AstraZeneca were pleased to be among a group of organizations that announced the Lung Cancer Master Protocol, or Lung-MAP, a multi-drug, multi-arm, biomarker-driven clinical trial for patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer. Its primary goal: to match patients with promising new cancer treatments based on their unique tumor profiles.
This is truly a groundbreaking collaboration, which has the potential to change and accelerate the way new biomarker-defined therapies are tested and approved for lung cancer—and, we hope, eventually for many other diseases that include other types of cancer.
To deliver on this ambitious effort, it requires strong collaboration and we have this with a group of several public and private entities that includes the National Cancer Institute, South West Oncology Group (SWOG) Cancer Research, Friends of Cancer Research, the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, Foundation Medicine, and five pharmaceutical companies that include AstraZeneca, MedImmune, Amgen, Genentech and Pfizer.
Much of the excitement for all of us involved in this effort centers on the use of a diagnostic platform for genomic profiling, and immune profiling that is conducted to match patients to one of several different investigational treatments. The trial will initially test five experimental drugs—four targeted therapies that include MEDI4736, our anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy molecule, and AZD4547, AstraZeneca's FGFR inhibitor. We anticipate that between 500 and 1000 patients will be screened per year for more than 200 cancer-related genes for genomic alterations. The results of this test will be used to assign each patient to the trial arm that best matches his or her tumor's genomic profile.
One of our key company priorities is to bring innovative new treatments to patients in need as quickly as possible, which is why we're so thrilled to be part of this exciting new paradigm in oncology drug development.
Squamous cell carcinoma has a high mortality rate and represents about a quarter of all lung cancer diagnoses, but there are few treatment options other than chemotherapy. This approach to clinical testing should not only improve access to promising drugs but also ease the significant recruitment and infrastructure burdens on researchers involved in traditional clinical trials.
For example, a typical trial for a targeted therapy tests each potential patient for a single biomarker and enrolls only a portion—sometimes a very small portion—of those who are tested. Lung-MAP will simultaneously test patients for many biomarkers to assess eligibility for several different experimental treatments. Then, the patients who have been tested will be enrolled into one of Lung-MAP's five trial arms based on their genomic profile. This saves the patient and the physician the trouble of doing multiple invasive testing to qualify for the right study.
t is the first Phase II/III program to incorporate a broad diagnostic platform, and it represents true innovation in study design and personalized healthcare. We're matching the right patient with the right molecule based upon the profile of the tumor. This is an extremely tailored approach that we hope will have a meaningful impact on cancer therapy.
If you'd like to learn more about this important trial, you can visit www.Lung-MAP.org.

Why is it that criminals think they are so much smarter
than police or the rest of us?
Joanna Hayes
Hayes was just convicted of murdering her
daughter in law Heather Allen Strube in front
of Heather's baby boy, Joanna's grandson.
Joanna Hayes has a habit of obtaining weapons from
people at construction sites and of pointing them at
people, such as her then husband, usually point blank
at their forehead.
She shoots Heather Allen Strube in a Target parking
lot in front of witnesses. Yes, she was in disguise,
supposedly to make it look like a man had done the
But long before she killed Heather, she'd told a co-
worker how she would plan a "perfect murder" and
then proceeds to use elements of that same plan
months later!
She's been convicted and sentenced to a long
stretch. She'll be eligible for parole only when she's
77 years old, and even then might not obtain parole.
David Gabriel "Gabe" Watson
Watson insisted upon diving lessons for a less than
enthusiastic fiance.
He insisted upon Christina "Tina" (Thomas) Watson
"increasing her life insurance with himself as the
beneficiary. Witnesses remember these things!
Especially when one files for the insurance
immediately after the death of the insured!
He arranges a honeymoon dive in Australia, in
which Tina dies. Watson rushes topside to "get help"
which witnesses and experts say he didn't do.
Although Australia put him in prison on lesser
charges, he's now facing murder charges in Alabama.
The fact that Watson is believed to have planned the
murder in the U.S. before the actual deed is why he's
going to be tried.
Casey Anthony.
Many can't believe, and are appalled, that a mother
who professes to love their child would wait 31 days
and party hearty before reporting their young
child missing, no matter the dysfunctional family
dynamics. Report it to police, a trusted friend,
neighbor, someone!
Casey Anthony was convicted on the check charges.
Didn't she think about the surveillance videos in
the banks and stores? Or that her friend might
not be pleased and press charges once she's found
her bank account wiped out?
Abandoning (& murdering) your child is a crime and
Casey Anthony knew it! So she thought up on the fly,
a stupid SODDI (Some other dude did it) excuse.
In this case, the "Zanny nanny" did it.
Anthony's "I was searching, doing my own investigation"
explanation is beyond ludicrious. And while in jail waiting
trial she floated the "abuse" excuse, pointing her grubby
fingers vaguely at her brother and father.
Now in court, the defense has indicated that's the plot
they're going to follow, that she perhaps harmed Caylee
because of past abuse - while there are no indications
(according to George & Cindy's attorney) of allegations
of abuse in her diaries.
There are other family members, friends and other
witnesses that are quite likely going to be able to
testify that Casey Anthony wasn't abused.
A look at the video from jail in which she berates
her parents speaks volumes about the dynamics
of those relationships.
Christopher Coleman - murdered his wife and two
sons, Sheri, Gavin and Garret in their beds. This cretin
planned their murders ahead of time, sending violent
emails, painting obscene and threatening messages on
the walls as evidence, and then setting up his alibi.
To sweeten the plot, he phones his neighbor, a police
officer, in order to show off his innocence.
Between today's forensics, police investigations and
other techniques, as well as Coleman's own background
from previous employment, he should have known he'd
be caught and that the evidence pointed right back at
Now convicted & sentenced to life without any possibility
of parole - he's escaped the death penalty only because
the change in the law in Illinois in the last few months.
All of these perps, thought/think that they were/are
more intelligent than the rest of us, yet their own plans
came to nought - because they aren't.

Performers Share Spirit of Aloha at YSA Luau
Contributed By By Alan Gibby, Church News contributor
Article Highlights
- Some 850 people attended a YSA luau in Ladera Ranch, California, on July 22 and were entertained by Polynesian Cultural Center dancers.
- The Polynesian Cultural Center is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
"What we like to do is bring a little of the Polynesian Cultural Center and a lot of the Aloha spirit with us and share, not only with the members of the Church, but with all those who are interested in the gospel wherever we travel." —Alfred Grace, president and CEO of the Polynesian Cultural Center

Young single adults from four wards gathered for a luau at the Ladera Ranch meetinghouse on July 22. Entertainment for the evening was provided by a team of dancers from the Polynesian Cultural Center, who shared select portions of their evening show, "Ha: Breath of Life."
Some 850 people attended the event, organized by the Saddleback (YSA) Ward, Mission Viejo California Stake, and San Clemente (YSA) Ward, San Clemente California Stake.
The PCC performing team members were on their way to Salt Lake City for the Days of '47 Parade festivities.
"The spirit of Aloha is to share the literal breath of life one with another," said P. Alfred Grace, the new president and CEO of the Polynesian Cultural Center. "What we like to do is bring a little of the Polynesian Cultural Center and a lot of the Aloha spirit with us and share, not only with the members of the Church, but with all those who are interested in the gospel wherever we travel."
This year the PCC, which has helped thousands of students work their way through college, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
"The Polynesian Cultural Center from the very beginning has been a way for doors to be opened for the Church because it was a completely nonthreatening way to make friends.
"Natural bridges have been created," said Von Orgill, former president and CEO of the PCC who is now serving as president of the California Irvine Mission.
President Orgill called the luau a very special event.
"Most of our missionaries are coming tonight with their investigators and joining in with the young single adults," he explained.
"The Polynesian Cultural Center has been around for 50 years and represents all of the best of the spirit of the islands. I had the privilege of traveling with the PCC promotional team for many years, and we performed at many missionary firesides. So as I was about to leave I asked if we could make a similar arrangement for the PCC to make a stop in Southern California and share the spirit of Aloha with the people here."
Bishop Mark Walton of the San Clemente (YSA) Ward called the luau a highlight. He said he especially enjoyed singing with the PCC cast and hearing PCC performer testimonies following the performance.

Promoting the Value of Using a REALTOR®
The public relations and promotional resources of HAR are impressive. Several times each month, HAR publishes articles, press releases and holds photo opportunities for its volunteer leadership. This PR effort has the sole focus of making consumers aware of the value that Realtors bring to a transaction. The association Web sites at HAR.com and Commercialgateway.com are a principal venue for this promotion. These Web sites afford us a unique opportunity to showcase Realtors in conjunction with their listings.
Protecting REALTORS® in Political and Governmental Affairs
Every single legislative session, lawmakers propose a tax on your hard-earned commissions. In other states, such policies have been passed, and real estate professionals forfeit a significant amount of their income to Uncle Sam. HAR represents you with a strong, powerful political voice at the local, state and national level and has consistently defeated such onerous proposals as a tax on commissions. To see HAR's latest governmental affairs projects.

This facility makes participating firms more profitable by providing a shared information infrastructure that eliminates the wasteful duplication of effort between member firms. The CIE also identifies and promotes a set of "Best Practices" in the marketing of properties and has greatly reduced the wasteful and inefficient practice of broadcast faxes and spam e-mails. The CIE also is an excellent way for commercial brokers to monitor market conditions. Also, HAR will soon make a greater investment in research by hiring another research assistant and plans to include aerial photographic images on CommericalGateway.com soon.

Candy Corn Decor
There's nothing we love more than getting festive with wine bottles. It's an excuse to drink more wine, spiff up our holiday decor and have some fall fun! After you finish these seasonal wine favorites, get to work with creating the perfect dining centerpiece, window still decor or even festive vase. 1. Soak your wine bottles in hot water for 10-20 minutes. Most labels should just peel off but others can be tricky. If that's the case, try using a bristled brush to get the rest of the adhesive or label off of the bottle. Dry bottles before painting. 2. Purchase white, yellow and orange spray paint. 3. Start by coating the bottle in white spray paint. Spray thin coats to eliminate dripping. 4. Next, use orange spray paint to evenly coat the middle layer of the bottle. Follow the directions on your spray paint can regarding drying time. 5. Finish with a coat of yellow spray paint along the bottom. Spray lighter along the orange to create an ombre transition look. Allow bottle to dry for at least 24 hours so it can completely set. Voila! You now have your own personalized candy corn decor created from your favorite wine bottles! Share your own Halloween decor ideas with us online and check out our Spooky Spirits!

Nice - they've started the transition by shunning you to the basement to live and replacing your room with the baby's room. You're so not loved anymore. Time to start having temper tantrums and causing trouble in order to get attention?

Awww, Unkie Matt came up with a name for Cletus: Conan Obama!
BM and BD, that is so good of you to involve him in the naming process (the article said!)

Click above for high-res gallery of TopGear.com America's Project Sipster
TopGear.com America is its own beast, separate and distinct from what Jezza, Hampster and Captain Slow are doing across the pond and within the pages of Top Gear magazine. Having the greatest role models in the world for inspiration, the editors of the site have embarked on their first project car that should make the mother ship very proud. The parameters for this project are simple: 70 mpg, 0-60 in under 7 seconds and less than $7,000. There might be a number of ways to satisfy those restrictive requirements with things like batteries, hydrogen and nuclear fission, but TG America has settled on a solution we can get behind: Take a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel and swap out its 28-year-old engine for a modern piece of turbocharged VW TDI tech. The engine swap along won't get the job done, so the team will drive its Frankenügen from the build site in Saskatchewan all the way to Southern California for some expert help with aerodynamics (they're gonna need it). Click here to read the excellent intro for this project car series and answer the call to help name the beast, which is being called Sipster until something better is suggested. You can also check out some high-res build photos in the gallery below and view the teaser video after the jump.

A former warehouse on Portland's Willamette River, which was redeveloped as RiverEast Center, has been awarded LEED Gold certification. The team of architects and engineers at Group Mackenzie transformed a 1951 concrete warehouse (right, top) into a boathouse for public use and a fully occupied office building for 250 creative professionals, seven businesses, and two nonprofits.
The $17 million project presented a number of challenges, including a dramatically sloped floor, traffic noise from two adjacent bridges, soil contamination from an old loading dock, and lack of space for the infrastructure. Though other firms initially didn't want to touch the project because of these issues, the Building Team managed to save an old building and do it responsibly.
The south side of the building is a solar wall (right, bottom) that uses a system of glass panels, baffles, and shelves to capture and divert solar heat throughout the seasons.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Mac Apps and Mac App Store' started by 2012Tony2012, Jan 9, 2013.
Any thoughts about cmdQuit?
What is cmdQuit?
Ah, this you mean.
My opinion, I do not need it, as I am proficient enough with the keyboard and pressing CMD+Q, even several times, but then again, I combine it with CMD+TAB.
Just as a small hint for your next threads, if you use such short thread titles, can you at least provide a link to what you talk/ask about?
But why not do it with one click instead of many?
I almost never quit all applications at once, that is why.
I normally accumulate 15 to 25 applications, then after a while of not using them I close ten or so.
You have a lot of patience
Closing ten applications, if no additional saving is involved, takes less than 20 seconds.

Kite Co. Pathfinder Team Best: Naoto, Kanji, and Teddie
Along the banks of the Sellen River, in a stretch of the Verduran Forest that forms the eastern border of the nation of Andoran, is the remote settlement of Bellis. Established as a lumber town, Bellis has recently become the host for an unlikely group of individuals that some might call heroes, and some others might call villains. Both sides have a legitimate argument.
In what was until very recently the manor house of the noteworthy trader Thomas Ormond, a group of adventurers have opened an orphanage. How a group of adventures gained ownership of the manor house, and a dozen or more orphans, is an story that is still being written; a story that will have much to say about the future of Bellis, the Sellen River and places far, far beyond.

A valuable experimentI am taking an online professional development course through the continuing education department of my graduate alma mater, Simmons College (where I got my Master's of Library and Information Science) on Blogging and I'm really excited about setting aside a month to delve into the issues and details surrounding this method of web publishing. As a librarian in a high school, I'm very interested in taking the website of Kirby Library and finally developing it into an interactive, ever-changing website that will be a place people want to go and not just have to go to get the necessary research links. (Note: do NOT look at anything other than the Students section as the other sections are totally undeveloped!)
At the moment I'm collecting questions about blogs that I want to answer in the course of the month and also collecting URLs of weblogs that I think look great and are well organized so I can analyze what it is about them that I like and want to emulate. I also plan on presenting all this research to my wonderful Library Advisory Board (18 enthusiastic students who love the library) and get their feedback and "in the trenches" perspective. Stay tuned!!

The Year is 5,052 in the Olven Calendar of The Elven Imperial Navy
In the two years since their adventures with the Dreamstone much has passed for our heroes.
Since Kenari now possesses the Deck of Harrowed Tales needed to consistently access it the group have been slowing cleansing the evils from the Harrowing. As the new acknowledged rulers of the demiplane they have seized control of the Walking Castle and now use it as their main base on the plane.
In 5,050 Elliwinkle passes on, having attained the great age (for a giant space hamster) of two years old. She is buried in The Harrowing.
The EIN is not very happy with The Spelljoined these days. Ever since "losing" the Witchlight Key they have been viewed with suspicion. Even so, they still occasionally do work for the Elves, although usually through proxies.
By 5,052 It has become an open secret that a portal to Sigil now exists in the Temple of Celestian on Bral. It was created by House Seven Stars, who count two priests of Celestian among their number. For a small charitable donation, if approved by the Celestians, one can step through the arch in their sculpture garden and come out in the Lady's Ward of Sigil. A combined guard force of Seven Stars marines and Celestian clerics guard from both those who would pass without permission and those threats that might come from the other side.
Two new Phlogiston rivers have been discovered leading straight out from spiral – one to a cluster of spheres known as The Maelstrom, another to large nameless sphere that seems to be a crossroads to whatever's on the other side.
The Pragmatic Order of Thought have become loose allies, attracted by the anti slavery stance of the group. Several of Kenaris followers have become members of the organization.
The fact that your group has long been friends to the halflings of Bral brings you into contact with Mereydin Sandyfoot, the Underbaron of the Halfling Thieves Guild. He is particularly fond of Kenari and Ef Utan.
Captain Vedis Valentine
Vedis has now gained a reputation as an up and coming Venture Captain and Privateer on the Rock of Bral. The crew of The Nomad often find themselves invited to The Edge (a place to see and be seen for venture captains), where the ongoing party can often last for days at a time. She no longer takes shifts at the Laughing Beholder, although she is still a regular and has a great relationship with Large Luigi.
When taking a break from captaining the Nomad, she works in their Demi Plane, and whenever they make port in Greyspace, she studies the Psionic arts at the school there. She'd also have been searching different libraries for information on planar travel and making maps and such of the different places they'd use the sails to go if there didn't seem to be any before. She's made it her mission in life to ferret out the secrets of the planes, but it's slow going between legitimate jobs. She did manage to make it back to Rajrin once or twice. The maps she makes are copied and donated to the Seekers guild and also to the temple of Celestian. She makes regular stops in at the temples to Morpheus, hoping to be given visions to aid her in her quest.
Poor Simmi passes away in early 5,052 O.C. No one is sure whether it is old age or too many tanglefoot bags. Before his demise he lays a single egg which Vedis keeps in a pouch around her neck. While it still shows no sign of hatching it does change colors on a monthly basis and occasionally smells like ham.
Recently Vedis has begun an affair with Corwin Shirpwright, who goes by Random. He is the Captain of the Squidship Fortune's Embrace. He is the son of Irdana Shipwright who owns and operates the Bralian shipyards and wields considerable political clout.
Kenari Sanura
Kenari splits her time between Toril and the Rock of Bral, having become very involved with the Temple to Bast in Ghedaneth which she uses to funnel money and aid to Mather Esseylnn, a halfling who uses a portal to Tethyr as an "underground railroad" for escaped Mulorrandi slaves. In 5,051, shortly after the Olympiad, she was visited by a vision from Bast in which she was shown that the cat goddess had merged with the Realms deity Sharess.
Ef Utan Izenik
Melchior, Word and Ef Utan spent a year in the Outer Planes and have only just returned from a series of forays into Acheron where they encountered the edges of the Bood War. The missions were on behalf of Estevaan of the Planar a trade Consortium.
Lenata has continued to helm The Nomad for Vedis. As she has spent more time on the ship she has become aware that the haunting effects only seem to occur in the Flow. Kenari often travels with them when not on Toril or in The Harrowing, particularly on the Realmspace / Spiralspace run. When not engaged with shipboard duties she has been working in the College of Celestian on Bral.
Previously on The Spelljoined
After an encounter and a rooftop chase through Bral our heroes manage to come into possession of a black pearl that reeks of abyssal magics. On Lenatta's suggestion they go to the Celestians. In short order they are questioned by a group of high level Celestians and Mardan Rhome, Right Hand of Prince Andru, who takes possession of the shadowpearl. They also learn that the figure they encountered was an Insectare, an unholy fusion of elf and insect with a penchant for plots that would almost put the arrow to shame. The EIN has a reward for any found in known space, dead or alive.
Catching up to their usual contacts – Luigi, The Edge, Meredyn Sandyfoot the Underbaron, etc. – they learn the following: there are two new phlogiston rivers outbound from Spiralspace; thre has been some sort of disaster in Krynnspace making it a psi dead sphere, and the main front of the Unhuman War II has moved into Realmspace where there are rumors of ascro smuggling firearms to the native goblinoids.
Vedis secures a mapping charter from the Seekers and they set sail for The Maelstrom, a newly discovered, turbulent series of flow rivers connecting a whole new array of spheres. After a very unpleasant incident where the phlogiston activated haunts appear, more powerful than they have ever seen them, one final specter appears pointing a skeletal finger towards the path of the ship.
"You must lay us to rest. Take us to Songspace." It says and then fades from view.
Word and Melchior, entranced by tales of The Gun With No Name, decide to seek the legendary firearm and satisfy Melchior's homesickness at the same time. Petting ways with the others before the Nomad launches for the Maelstrom they book passage to Oerth and the City of Greyhawk.
Their adventires will be chronicled in The Gun With No Name.

You can skip dinner and eat a light lunch, but breakfast is an important meal to start the day right. As much as I enjoy eating eggs, pancakes, sausage, and hashbrown for my morning delight I can't do it everyday. First of all, it's too heavy. I feel like going back to sleep right after a such hearty meal. Second, it's too much butter and grease to start the day.
Breakfast is meant to break the "fast". You're technically fasting when you're asleep so your body needs to reorganize itself in the morning. Consuming too much food as soon as you wake up is probably not the best idea. What your inner system need is an energy boost. Below are my favorite healthy breakfast to start the day and most of them takes 10 minutes or less to put together. Perfect for on-the-go commute!
Green Juice/Smoothie
This powerful drink is filled with vitamins and minerals that'll make your skin glow. In addition, it'll give your body a rush of energy. Find out more about juice vs. smoothie here.
Green juice is meant to be drink on an empty stomach for maximum benefit. Also, it's best to consume it right away because the nutrients are broken down by blending/juice. If you think it's too raw to start off with green juice you can drink a cup of warm water with a slice of lemon with honey first. (It's another great way to detox your liver in the morning).
Yogurt Breakfast Bowl
A great option if you like crunchy texture and diary products! This light meal is filled with anti-oxidant, fiber and vitamin D!
Here's a delicious yogurt bowl recipe from @alise. If you don't have the time to roast your own nuts or coconut flakes you can skip that. In addition, I love storing plain yogurt in a mason jar and throw in nuts, granola and pieces of fruits for on-the-go.
Bagel and Cream Cheese
If you need some solid food a bagel and cream cheese is my favorite on-the-go breakfast. You can get a pack of bagels from a local grocery store or Costco. For the cream cheese, Kraft's Philadelphia is the best. If you're lactose, try Trader Joe's non-dairy spread or Nature Valley's lactose free cream cheese.
Mixed Fruit Salad
You'll get a copious amount of antioxidant, fiber and antioxidant in this tiny bowl. It's also super easy to dice it and throw it in a tupperware or mason jar for commute.
That's the end of my list. What's your favorite breakfast on-the-go?

Tea party and other Republican fear-mongers are again working themselves into a lather in their latest assault on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a key part of which will be implemented Oct. 1.
Intentionally relabeled Obamacare by foes as a slander against both the law and president who signed it, the health care reform is about to take its place next to Social Security and Medicare as the nation's most enlightened social welfare programs.
The name is used by the Michele Bachmanns and Ted Cruzes of ultraconservatism as synonymous with the black plague of medieval times. They prophesy unimagined chaos and everything from the destruction of the hallowed doctor-patient relationship to the end of the universe.
There is also in the epithet more than a tinge of disparagement toward the president himself. He arouses a bare collective contempt in conservatives for his unusual and complicated origins as man born of a mixed racial union. His "strangeness" has led many of his foes to question not only the place of his birth but also his loyalty to America.
Obama finally embraced the term Obamacare himself as a proud sobriquet for a program designed to improve the health care of millions of the uninsured. But his personal embrace has not dissuaded the wide use of the term by critics as a sort of national boogeyman.
The scare tactics have not been diminished by the Supreme Court's declaration of the law's constitutionality, a surprising blow to the critics. Nor have they been discouraged by the repeated, stillborn House votes to repeal it, upwards of forty times and counting.
The now-shopworn war cry of "repeal and replace" has given way to demands in the House to "defund" it, also assured of a quick death in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Some Republicans threaten to withhold a vote to raise the debt ceiling, at the peril of shutting down the government, unless Obamacare is repealed.
Even the ultraconservative editorial page of the Wall Street Journal has expressed horror at the tactic. It has compared the anti-Obamacare zealots in the House to the Japanese kamikaze pilots of World War II, threatening "to crash their Zeroes into the aircraft carrier of Obamacare."
Some fearful Republicans have warned that this sort of political suicide mission will end only as did a similar stare-down of President Bill Clinton by House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1995. Gingrich blinked then and his Republican Party was widely blamed for the unpopular shutdown of national parks and other federal facilities.
The present GOP Speaker, John Boehner, has displayed none of the delusional aspirations of grandness that marked Gingrich then and now, but he has knuckled under to the most conservative anti-Obamacare zealots in the House. In not quite leading them over the cliff but giving them the leeway to jump, he puts his own tenure as speaker in question.
More seriously for today's Republican Party is the damage to its brand. It is becoming inexorably more right-wing and exclusionary, elevating the defunding of Obamacare to the heights of a holy grail. Talk after the 2012 Romney defeat about broadening the party's base in the face of the demographic growth of minority ethic voters has been overwhelmed by the anti-Obamacare crusade.
Cruz, perhaps unwittingly, put his finger on why defunding the health care law is so urgent to himself and followers. He warned that once the reforms were fully implemented, voters might embrace them as they have widely accepted Social Security and Medicare. Both programs, similarly targeted in Armaggedon-like terms in their cribs, became untouchable "third rails" not to be trifled with.
For all of Barack Obama's reputation as too prone to compromise, if there is one issue on which he is unlikely to yield, it is the sabotaging of his one major domestic legislative victory that now, for good or ill, bears his name. For once, he holds all the high cards on this suicidal Republican scheme to call his bluff. Obamacare is the law and will continue to be despite the bravado of the mindless self-immolation fringe of the GOP.

We found out just a little over two weeks ago that we are having a girl. Here is the aftermath of that news...so far.
Things could get ugly around here. I may need an intervention before she even arrives.

Since I'm in a cityscape kind of mood (see my other listings), I thought I'd try something a little different. Here is a special scene from the planet, Prilosec (no relation to the pharmaceutical) As the three red-ish moons set in the yellow horizon, the Prilosecians join hands in their monthly celebration called "Whew, That Was A Close One (WTWACO for short)."
About thirteen Prilo-years ago, their planet was spinning through the universe (much like ours, fellow earthlings) when it chanced upon a whole bunch of asteroids. Fortunately for them, they have three moons that were able to run interference, so to speak. All the asteroids crashed on one of the three lunar heroes instead of their green and yellow planet (needless to say, they're GB Packers fans). In case you're curious, I've got a close-up image of a Priloman in my listings. Be sure to check the dude out.
The WTWACO festival is held in honor and gratitude to their moons. Good thing we, fellow earthlings, have three moons, for it's only a matter of time before we enter an asteroid belt ourselves.
What? We only have one? Um, oh. Right. Well, I'm sure we'll be fine.

But Zeus doesn't tolerate that at all.
Though he let his favourite child be killed

Allison W. (sealady) reviewed on + 657 more book reviews
Book Description: "Overworked, overcaffeinated, and as cranky as a sequestered jury, Willa Jansson has a law review to get out. As second in command to the brilliant Susan Green, the ideal law student and perfect editor, Willa's rank jumps up a step when Susan's head is bashed in over a brief at the law review office. Everyone at Malhousie, the small San Francisco law school, is stunned by the crime -- including professors and the staff at the review. And none of them are above suspicion. Willa, now in charge and none too happy about it, launches a private investigation that succeeds not only in compromising her honor, but getting her arrested, as she chases one blind lead after another and comes face-to-face with the banality of evil....

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A man who fled from a police officer Monday was apprehended and charged Tuesday in the rape of a woman on the Appalachian Trail in Franklin County, Pa.
Terry Alvin Boose, 33, of no fixed address, was charged in the June 3 rape of a woman on the Appalachian Trail in Quincy Township, according to Pennsylvania State Police in Carlisle.
Boose was arraigned in Franklin County late Tuesday before District Justice Larry Pentz.
Boose was charged with rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault, aggravated assault and simple assault, Pentz said.
He was to be taken to Franklin County Prison on $150,000 bond.
Boose initially was arrested Tuesday afternoon on outstanding theft and criminal mischief charges from Adams County, Pa., said Cpl. Kenneth Hassinger at the Carlisle state police barracks.
He said officers investigating the rape were called in to question Boose.
The Adams County charges involved theft of a shovel, damage to a mailbox and scattering rubbish, according to Pentz.

Google Map Additions
As always, I brought my camera with me on my morning walk today. One never knows what one might see worth photographing. This morning, I decided to take a photo of the Day Care Center on Diputado Street. I also took a photo of the nearby Sibulan Fire Station on the off chance that I could add both locations to Google Maps.
It never ceases to amaze me which edits are accepted immediately and which are left pending. The Day Care Center edit was accepted while the Fire Station was not. Of course, there's no reason why I can't post both photos here.

are among the dozens of celebrities and sports personalities participating in the 2013 American Century Championship.
Events are taking place all this week at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, but the main attraction is the 54-hole tournament that starts Friday and runs through Sunday.
Participants such as OlympianMichael Phelps, South Carolina football coach Steve Spurrier, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, former pro football players John Elway, Jerry Rice and Marshall Faulk
and a host of NBA stars past and present will be vying for a share of the tourney's $600,000 purse.
Edwards is competing in the event for the eighth time. Smith, Saberhagen and Green have played in it before, too, but this week's a first-time experience for Succop and Dye.
Smith, acquired in an offseason trade with San Francisco, told USA Today on Tuesday that he's happy to be in Lake Tahoe but is excited about the start of Chiefs training camp next week.
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time," he said, "and for us, camp right around the corner, I'm pumped."
The tournament dates to 1990, when former NFL quarterbackMark Rypien was crowned its first champion. Former NHL star Dan Quinn, who caddies for South African pro golfer Ernie Els at most of his U.S. events, won his fifth American Century championship last year, but former major league pitcher Rick Rhoden
, who's now a pro golfer, holds the tourney record for victories — eight since 1991.
Harrah's Tahoe Sportsbook lists Quinn as a 7-2 favorite to defend his title. At the other end of the spectrum is former NBA player-turned-analystCharles Barkley
, who goes off Friday as a 500-to-1 shot.
The winner takes home $125,000.
The NBC Sports Network will televise Friday's round from 3-6 p.m. Coverage shifts to NBC on Saturday and Sunday, from 2-5 p.m. both days.

From the Caledonia Record
Here are some Vermont accomplishments of which we can be proud (so-to-speak).
The Cato Institute did a study of the percentage of non-poor people in the country who are getting benefits from one of the eight federal welfare programs. Non-poor people are those whose income levels are above the federal poverty level. Of all the United States, Vermont was No. 1 with 17.5 percent of its non-poor citizens receiving welfare benefits. No. 2 was Mississippi with 14.4 percent non-poor citizens on welfare. New Hampshire was No. 32 at 7.8 percent.
The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation periodically rates state education standards for clarity and rigor. In 2010, it found Vermont's English language arts standards among the worst in the country, rating a D, and our mathematics standards, again, among the worst in the country withan F.
The conservative Leadership Institute ranked UVM 95th (out of 100) major universities for being overwhelmingly biased toward the left, offering such politically correct courses as "Race and Racism," "Sexual Identities," "Eco-feminism" and "Human and Social Diversity."
We already pointed out that the Competitive Enterprise Institute named Attorney General William Sorrell No. 6 of the Six Worst Attorneys General for his role in the tobacco Master Settlement of the 1990s that made a lot of lawyers very rich. Sorrell also supported the U.S. Supreme Court's declaration that carbon dioxide is a pollutant that must be regulated, reputedly one of the worst decisions of the Supreme Court in history.
With just a little push, Vermont could win other titles: "Worst Atmosphere for Business in the U.S," up to 50th from 47th that we won this year; Highest Taxed State in the Union, rather than just one of the top five. We already are No. 1 in how much we spend per student in public schools ($14,300 each in 2008).
We can brag that we have the lowest number of students per teacher in the country at 10 to 1,and we just got $19 million from the federal government to hire lots more teachers in order to achieve our goal of a 1-to-1 ratio.
These are just a few of the things that make us proud to be Vermonters. They are also prime examples of the aphorism, "If you don't laugh, you'll cry."

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
Tooth decay is becoming a major epidemic among children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that more than 28 percent of U.S. toddlers and preschoolers have untreated cavities.
In an effort to fight this problem, the University of Washington recently partnered with several Seattle-area health groups to open the Center for Pediatric Dentistry. The new clinic will specialize in treating children from birth to three years of age.
"We are seeing an alarming increase in early childhood [cavities]," said Joel Berg, director of the center. "It is truly a national health crisis. This trend, coupled with a shortage of pediatric dentists, educational facilities, and integrated policy approach were the primary reason and driving force behind the formation of the [center]."
Berg added that there is currently a four month wait period for serious pediatric dental care services in King County, Washington. He hopes that the new clinic will greatly reduce that wait time. The group expects its new facilities to be able to handle as many as 40,000 patient visits each year.
Parents who are unable to afford dental visits for their children could improve their access to oral care through discount dental plans. These low-cost programs may make treatments more affordable.
For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

Sounds more like Blade Runner or one of the other Phillip K Dick books...As for Fool in the City's storyline...believe it or not,it features Falk Rogner as the protagonist in a futuristic city...ala Logan's Run,where rock and roll is outlawed.Rogner is a faithful enforcer to a powerful artificial intelligence,mainting the law and order inside the city,until he accidently kills the leader of the underground resistance,and finds himself leading the resistance....it's about as much as I can remember.
I vaguely remember this being discussed on Wax Trax some time ago, and I seem to recall that Rogner wasn't the only person from FSS to appear in this, some of the fatimas make apperances (not necessacealy as fatimas but the characters copy over)
Is Fool For the City IN the FSS timeline or is it a parallel storyline? This was also discussed way back when but I don't recall if a answer was even determined..
It also sounds like it would make a good movie. Its shorter than trying to adapt a whole serial as long as FSS to a screenplay.
