Every few years the time comes when athletes from all over the world parade their muscle tone and superpower skills. Many times this leaves the rest of us to believe that they eat only salads, nuts, and berries, but this is not entirely true! Many athletes eat upwards of 12,000 calories a day compared to the suggested 2,000 for the average adult, consuming everything from pizza to Ben & Jerry's pints. Athletes can eat this way because their intense workouts burn 4,000 – 6,000 calories a day. Here are a few real menu ideas to help us keep up with them, without crashing our every day diets.
In recent years, salmon has become a protein superstar. Salmon is a perfect source of protein, as it is high in omega-3's, the heart-healthy fats. Salmon can also provide joint support, control joint inflammation, and has the high content of amino acids. It really is a perfect food. When buying salmon it is best to choose wild caught salmon as mercury levels are lower and color is not added. Salmon is simple to make at home–try a Blackened Salmon or a Lemon Salmon. To help celebrate the London Olympic games try substituting Salmon in place of white fish for Salmon Fish and Chips!
Our primate friends are on to something with their portable yellow treat. Bananas are high in calories, B6 vitamins, fiber, and potassium. Bananas can help with almost anything from eyesight to kidney health. Have an easy berry and banana smoothie for breakfast, try getting out of your comfort zone by adding bananas to a Caprese salad (yes, this is really good!), or a Tanzanian Curried Chicken Banana Soup.
Honey has a reputation as being nature's sweetener with many uses from salad dressings, marinades, and desserts; it is easy to make any dish a little sweeter with a touch of honey. Honey is an excellent source of phytonutrients, natural health boosters, and antioxidants. Honey promotes better blood sugar control, which is ideal for exercise. Use honey in place of sugar, drizzle on fruit (even bananas!), or branch out to try honey in a BBQ sauce or dipping extra pizza crusts for a built in dessert. Honey is one sweet treat that should come without the guilt!

I created dataset object from "Add new item" named it as myOrder.xsd.
It is based a table Order.
How to update myOrder.xsd if a new field was added into Order?
I have to delete myOrder.xsd and then re-create it.
It is kind of stupid way.
I'm afraid that stupid way is the only way.
There is no conveient way in vs.net to synchronize them.
I think you can first update the dataset, and use the dataset up the database

Exodus is the departure of slavery. A lot of people in the music industry have their creative freedom taken away from them because the labels want them to put out that same catchy song every time because the same repetitive song will attract the attention of others. Artists want to be creative but they are enslaved in the music industry. Exodus is about breaking free from that slavery and making whatever creative music you want.

T-Cell responses to Mycobacterium avium PPD antigens in gastro-intestinal helminth co-infected chickens in central Ethiopia

A cross-sectional study was conducted on extensively reared chickens of three selected agro-climatic zones in Central Ethiopia to examine the predisposing effect of gastro-intestinal helminthes to intestinal Mycobacterium avium when it occurs as co-infection. This was done through a Lymphocyte Stimulation Test (LST) using avian PPD on peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from the blood of chickens and gross examination of digestive tract for the presence of helminth parasites. Data were analyzed using the statistical softwares SAS (1994) and Intercooled STATA version 6. Fourteen (14.7%) out of the 95 examined chickens were positive in in vitro LST showing stimulation index (SI) 2. There was a significant (2 = 9.93, P<0.01) difference in prevalence of M. avium by altitude: highest in chickens from lowland (27.8%) areas, followed by 13.3% in chickens from mid altitude and none was reacted to LST from highland region. A significant relationship (2 = 9.58, P<0.01) in cestode co-infection with M. avium was found. There was no significant (2 = 1.66, P>0.05) relationship in nematode co-infection with M. avium.

Gravel Pit Spring Tench Fishing Although traditionally estate lakes and slow running canals and rivers come to mind for tench fishing, these days you cannot afford to ignore the gravel pits. These venues are numerous and do tend to hold the bigger fish. In fact many fish over ten pounds come from these waters as indeed does the current record of 15lb 3oz. (captured in 2001).
Sywell Reservoir An Edwardian Reservoir situated between Northampton and Wellingborough, close to the villages of Sywell and Earls Barton, a short distance off the A4500 and now recognised as one of the leading tench fisheries in the country. » Read more
Tench Baits
Most anglers appreciate that just about any bait will capture tench as they have a pretty catholic taste when it comes to their diets. Classically these fish were often captured on lobworm, brandling or breadpaste (often flavoured with aniseed or custard powder).

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!

Germany originated the afternoon coffee function known as the kaffee-klatsch.

Think Progress » Conservative Activists Rebel Against Fox News: Saudi Ownership Is 'Really Dangerous For America'
B, they made so much noise at a late night kaffee klatsch, the police were called by neighbors?
The Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski, was in there, as well as a longish item on kaffee (coffee) and a short sentence on the painter Frida Kahlo.
I get the impression that it is not the type of place for a kaffee-klatsch that others have described here, nor a good place to find fresh fruit and vegetables.
Though men don't bond the way women do with their history of kaffee klatches and knitting circles so well reflected in a show like Sex In The City, they do unite through certain shared experiences, such as playing or being a fan of a sport.

DVDJ Unique
Pioneer Pro DJ Unique - Featured In DJ Time Magazine
Jay Lopez is one jock who will gleefully testify to the wonders of video. Known professionally as DVDJ Unique, the Miami-based jock has taken his career to another level with his mastery of video mixing on Pioneer's DVJ-1000 player and SVM-1000 audio/video mixer. Like DJ Creme, Unique's a former Connecticut mobile and club jock who parlayed his vast DJing skills into a VJ career, one that now includes work as a demonstrator of Pioneer Pro DJ's range of products. In the past couple years, Unique has helped build his audience with memorable VJ sets at the International DJ Expo's annual Promo Only/Pioneer party at House of Blues. (His "Bill O'Reilly Do It Live Remix," which chops and electro-fies the cable blowhard's famous on-air meltdown, was a hit at the '08 Expo and it remains a YouTube fave.) He's further raised his profile as a member the Video Assassins, a confederation of VJs that includes the visionary Roonie G. Unique has also begun to travel nationwide and abroad.
Known as The Remix Junkie & part of the duo TRPMSTR -
Based in Atlanta, GA, the city many refer to as the new Motown for music, DJ K0NTR0L sets himself apart from the rest with his experience as both a DJ & Producer. Always ahead of the curve, K0NTR0L has been at the forefront of the Mash-Up movement blending Hip-Hop & Dance music for nearly a decade. His sought after Remixes have been featured on all the major DJ sites including Beatport, Crooklyn...Clan.net, YourRemix.com, StrictlyHits.com and more.
Last year, K0NTR0L caught the ears of superstar LIL JON and they immediately began collaborating. These tracks were released on their Mixtape/ DVD project THE KING OF CRUNK & THE REMIX JUNKIE. Get Naked, the debut single from K0NTR0L featuring LIL JON, reached the #1 spot on Serato's WhiteLabel.net. Their latest project was a Remix to BEYONCE's Best Thing I Never Had, which has been played on radio stations all over the globe. These days it is hard to find a DJ who doesn't have a multitude of his Remixes in their Serato crate.
As a DJ, K0NTR0L spins an open-format of music featuring classics from every decade in addition to many of his signature Remixes. With more than 10 years of nightclub experience, this DJ has what it takes to satisfy a diverse room of clubgoers. His vast knowledge of music & knack for incorporating the craziest Remixes into his sets ensure a good time whenever he is in "K0NTR0L" of the party!
In high school, he always had a liking to play the music at everyone's house party. Stepping into the club scene as a patron, he quickly made friends with the DJ in every nightclub he went to. Then, the luckiest break ever, a resident DJ at a club he went to was ready to retire. With an offer no 19 year old guy could refuse, he took that DJ job without thinking twice. With no formal training and no clue what to do, Ronnie quickly caught on to the DJ scene. The end result of that lucky break made Ronnie Roux one of the most sought after disc jockeys in New Orleans. He's played in the top nightclubs New Orleans has to offer. His versatility in music formats keeps him busy on the weekends with nightclubs and corporate event planners. He's contracted with the two biggest corporate event planners in New Orleans for the busy tourism industry. Currently residing at the biggest nightclub in New Orleans, he plays a video DJ set every Saturday at Metropolitan. Whether it's hip hop, EDM, top 40 or party rock, he can play it all.
DJ Wixx
Born and raised in New Orleans. The Dj seed was planted while helping a friend at a house party, and since then he has been hooked ever since then. DJ Wixx quickly landed his first Saturday Night residency at a local hotspot, "Moby's". While pursuing a higher education at Southeastern Louisiana University, he landed his second Dj residency. After his four year reign of college, he returned to New Orleans and moved on to spin at local venues across the 504. As the music scene evolved from club to club, so did his music arsenal, spinning anything from Top 40, Hip Hop to Breakbeat, Old School to Mashups and didn't stop there by adding videos to his set. His ball of fire mixing teamed up with his panoramic audio taste can be seen and heard in New Orleans every weekend at the Metropolitan Night Club.
DJ TAF was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. He was destined to become a DJ from his older brother being a nightclub DJ. Often playing high school proms and kids' parties turned into a want for more. Upon reaching the legal age to enter a club, he was itching to start his process of learning the nightclub crowd. He took a light guy job at Metropolitan nightclub to begin. Opening and closing shifts soon turned into prime-time DJ shifts for him. Favorite musical genres include hip-hop and EDM. His DJ appearances thus far include TJ Quils, Pub Zero and Metropolitan. With the introduction of videos to the DJ world, he quickly embraced this new technology to be competitive in the DJ market.

Massachusetts specific databases that are created and maintained by the Social Law Library are also available for the public to access at the State Library.
In addition to its paper-based legal collection, the State Library offers access to the public to its computer workstations, online services, and networked materials, including WESTLAW, Gale Virtual Reference Library databases (Academic OneFile, General Business File, and General Reference Center Gold); Nolo Books Online; and ProQuest Massachusetts Newsstand.

Interview with Vanessa Elisha
Age: 22
Hometown: Sydney, Australia
Location: Gold Coast, Australia
Describe your sound as if we were deaf
2 words that my manager loves to describe the sound of the EP – simply put – Cinematic Heartbreak
What producers, songwriters and/or artists do you see as your primary inspirations?
Right now I'd definitely have to say Noah 40, Drake and the Weeknd are major inspirations, I love their sound. It has a darkness and sexiness to it that I find really alluring, takes you somewhere else.
Do you have a favorite musical project that you've worked on?
I can't say any one project is my favourite. I love the EP simply because it represents the beginning, hopefully, of a career in music. My music and lyrics will only grow stronger with every project. So I'm excited to keep experiencing life and writing about it as I get older and (hopefully) wiser 😉
What was the main factor for launching your career when you did?
I think what has driven me is always the dream to have music as a career and only music. When you're indie, its university, working, music and all the other factors that come into life. I just want to live in a world where all I do is work on my music!! That's the dream.
Who are some people you would like to work with?
Definitely the boys I've mentioned above!! Drake, Noah 40, the Weeknd, JD. I definitely think our sounds would meld well together. That's only in my wildest dreams though!
The internet is everything. It hasn't changed my music in any way, it has just changed how you promote it, keep in touch with fans and bloggers. Bloggers really do play a massive role in the industry, without them our music wouldn't be spreading like it is. I'm just glad that the reception to the EP has been all positive so far!!
Do you feel like what you are doing is important?
Hmmmm that's a tough question. I think music is one of the most important things in the world. It connects people and gives them life-long memories. If my music can do that for someone, if someone can relate to my lyrics, sing along to it and enjoy it I think that's pretty cool.
Lastly, could you talk about any long-term goals or talents you have in mind?
Wow I haven't even really thought long-term yet, my goal right now is just to get my music out there, get people to hear it and enjoy it and hopefully pick up some fans along the way! If I could dream I would say a long term goal would be to be in the US writing for other artists and working on an album with an amazing team….but that's just the dream 😉

Hello again! This is my second post for today so please scroll down to see my first one. This one is for the Addicted to Stamps challenge.
(A2: Stamps: Verve (Poinsettia Christmas), Waltzingmouse Stamps; Die: Memoroy Box; Punch: McGill); Stencil: Simon Says Stamp)
The theme is HOLIDAY so I picked another one of my new Verve sets. I added snow "outside" the window using the snowfall stencil and embossing paste. I then stamped the candles and inserted behind the window. I added some sprigs of greenery and tiny ribbons. For the poinsettia, I stamped the outline and then stamped with the second step stamp. I added some red dots to the center with Copics. Thanks for stopping by.
Here is a link to the challenge in case you want to share in the fun!
Challenge #108 - HOLIDAY
Happy crafting!

If you're just joining us, you may wish to start with Part 1 of my interview with Matt, a naturalist at our local nature center, who is telling us what it's like to become a naturalist.
* * * * * * * * * *
Matt, how do you repair a turtle shell?
It's tricky--their shell is made of bone cells--it's bone. Their spine is attached to the shell, their pelvis and hip bones, etc. So the shell is very much a part of them. You have to clean out any wounds first; we often use an iodine solution. Then we make a splint from a zip tie, hot gluing the ties together--this stabilizes the shell. Then we use an epoxy and seal the shell. It's very important to clean out the wound first, because you don't want to seal in any dirt or insects. Pond turtles have delicate shells; they're more difficult to repair; but box turtles have tough shells, so it's easier. It's like fixing a broken bone, you put them in a cast.
We rely on donations to give them the medicine they need, or in special cases, to get them vet care.
What other animals do you care for at the nature center?
We mostly care for reptiles; turtles, lizards, snakes. Snakes are more rare. They get caught in glue traps (that are intended to catch small rodents) and we use vegetable oil to free them. It's harder if they get caught in a garden fence, they injure themselves when they're trying to get out of it.
We do care for other injured animals, but we contact a wildlife rescue league for many of these. We can't care for animals that might be prone to rabies, because we have so many visitors at our center. We don't often care for birds, because they require around-the-clock care, which we typically can't give.
Downy woodpecker.
Could you describe a typical day at your job?
We have certain animal care tasks that we do daily, but there's never a dull moment. One day we might have five education programs, then we're training volunteers, then people are bringing in injured animals, or a plant to identify. We have summer camp, we also have school programs or we go out to schools to teach kids about nature.
What is your favorite part of your job?
I love being around animals and kids.
Is there anything difficult about your job?
If you're not into multitasking, that could be hard. We could be talking to a visitor and the next moment caring for an animal that's been struck by a car.
Do you have any interesting or memorable stories to tell about your job?
Seeing kids grow up--we would do tiny tot programs for kids that are only 2 years old; then you would see them at a program for preschoolers; then going on to the programs for 6 to 10 year-olds. Seeing them grow up and come back year after year. It's very rewarding to hear from a parent that a kid learned something at a program and talks about it all the time.
Also, giving an animal a second chance is always rewarding--when they are rehabilitated and then we release them and they go back to where they came from.
How can a kid become a naturalist? What should they do?
Well, of course, they can attend programs at a nature center. But they should get a pet. Have their parents take them out on hikes. Get outside. Around middle school age, they can start volunteering at a local nature center if they have one. They often take kids as young as 13.
We explain to young volunteers all about animal care--they can observe educational programs--and they can learn about the whole realm of caring for nature. They can see what we do and get ideas about jobs they'd like to have someday. Maybe they'd like to be a vet, or a zoo keeper, or an ecologist, or a teacher.
They should also try to get a variety of jobs involving the outdoors. For example, I had a summer job with the national park service. But in the urban areas, they tend to be more oriented toward the historical than the natural. So I learned that this was not for me.
I studied biology and environmental studies in college; but someone else at the center has a degree in psychology. I would say, any kind of science-related knowledge and background would be useful.
Mason bee nest.
Last question--what's the difference between a zoologist and a naturalist?
I would say a zoo keeper works almost completely with animals, not interacting with the public much at all; they are concentrating on improving species conservation. Naturalists--one of our biggest goals is education. And yes, you work with animals, but these are animals you find in your backyard and nearby environments, and they aren't usually endangered species.
Matt, thank you so much for taking the time to share with us what it's like to be a naturalist.
My pleasure.
(All photos were taken on our family's most recent visit to the nature center where Matt works.)

Q. I have a favorite orange tree that is quite old. What time of year can I propagate it?
A. Late spring and summer is the best time to root citrus from cuttings.
Q. The leaf tips on my potted Peace Lily keep drying and turning brown. What might be the cause of this?
A. If the plant has not been repotted in a few years, this could be salt damage. Salts from municipal water and fertilizers can accumulate in the soil and brown leaf tips are a result. Try repotting or leaching the plant.
Keith Fuller will answer your questions. Call 209-0430 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

What is compassion? Typically we think of compassion as something like gentle loving kindness. Perhaps compassion is a soft hand on the side of a mourners face or a deep feeling of un
derstanding for someone who has struggled. All of that is compassion but…
I also have noticed people offering alibis for intelligent and able people -people who've given up or really haven't ever gotten going.
Is it compassionate to excuse someone from the fullness of life–including a responsibility to be his or her best—by expecting anything less than what that person is capable of?
Every time we engage with others, we support and endorse either their mediocrity or their excellence.
What is compassion?
Compassion is expecting the best, extending mercy when someone fails and holding that person accountable to his or her best self.

Carmen awoke in a sea of pain. Every inch of her body ached. It took her nearly an hour to get sit up, and another thirty minutes to persuade herself to get out of bed. By the faint light coming from the bathroom it was early morning, or maybe, she supposed, late afternoon. Chris was nowhere to be seen, but the ruffled sheets beside her showed he'd come to bed at some point the night before.
She showered without turning on the light, cranking the water to the hottest setting she could tolerate. Standing under jets of water, she watched the grime of the past days wash down the drain and let the memories of the past day flicker past.
She closed her eyes and swayed in the water, letting the white noise engulf her and her aching muscles relax. There in her own solitude she allowed herself to cry, sobs drowned out by the constant patter and gurgle.
I can't be a part of this, not with what I know, she thought, but they'll just find someone else to do my part if I leave. Even if I destroy every drone and installation on the planet, they could just rebuild. I need to find a way to end their plans permanently...
Without the constant emissions, she realized, the pines will absorb all the carbon dioxide. So, if I find a way to permanently stop the burning stations, no more warming, no more thaws. No oil, no burning stations... no oil.
A possible solution dawned on her.
Carmen found Chris in the kitchen. He was sitting at the counter, a long cold meal pack congealing in front of him, nursing a cup of tea. He barely glanced up as she walked into the room, his eyes set deep in purple smears.
"Hey, baby, quick question," Carmen began, "Is the sobriety aid case still around."
Chris looked up, confused, "Yeah…I, uh… I forgot it, it's in your office."
"Perfect," Carmen smiled broadly, "I think I might have a way of stopping FrontEx. I'm going to need you to distract Roderick while I work."
Chris gave her a strange, almost startled look. He seemed to gather his thoughts, and then, taking a deep breath he said, "He died last night."
"What? His legs were broken, he wasn't bleeding that bad—how can he be dead." Guilt dragged at her. I should have helped him...maybe he wouldn't have died.
"He must have been hurt worse than I thought," Chris shrugged, staring down at his meal pack, "he probably had internal bleeding… I tried to help him, but…"
Carmen sank down into the chair across from him, "I'm sorry, I should have helped."
"There's nothing you could've done. I splinted the legs, got him painkillers."
"Still, I was awful—"
"No," said Chris, fiercely, "that asshole deserves none of your guilt… he had internal bleeding there was nothing you could have done."
A new feeling rose with her guilt, the feeling that she was missing something, some key part of the story, "He's still in my office, right?"
"No," Chris shook his head, "I took him outside—I didn't know how long we'd be here, didn't want to have a rotting body around."
"Good thinking," Carmen studied Chris's face. He's lying about something, she thought, but I'm not sure what. She glanced down to his hands, they were swaddled in spray on bandages. Brown, congealed blood caked the bandages on his left hand, crimson stained the right.
"I watched the footage," Chris said, "but I didn't catch everything that happened to you, just what the drone recorded. You disappear at one point, and reappear lower in the city."
"I fell," Carmen responded, shaking off her unease, "I was lucky..." Carmen took a breath, and decided it was best just to tell the whole story. He listened, stopping her now and then to ask questions. When she was done, he sat back, his face sunk in fatigue. He didn't look surprised.
"So what's your plan?" Chris asked.
"We take away their oil."
Chris sat back in his chair, and stared at her for a moment, "how exactly do you plan to do that? Why do you need the sobriety aid?"
"I just need to reprogram it."
"But we only have one case—there are seas of oil."
"I have a factory. Look, Chris I know what I am doing." Suddenly Carmen wanted to be anywhere but with Chris, "look I really should get started."
She stood and turned towards the door.
"Wait," called Chris, "how can I help?"
"You can't," replied Carmen.
As Chris watched Carmen leave, he wondered what had gone wrong. The conversation had started off well. The lie he'd spent the previous night crafting remained largely unquestioned. Still the conversation had left him feeling lonelier. She didn't need him; she'd solved their problem—her problem—on her own.
He took one last gulp of tepid tea and went out for a walk. The world outside was comfortably silent, the pines huddled in a world smothered by snow. He crunched down the path without a real destination, lost in his thoughts. Killing Roderick had been easy—a discovery that was equal parts terrifying and revelatory. He'd killed someone and the world was the same, well, almost. His fury had not departed with Roderick, but simmered somewhere deep down. Maybe that was always there, he thought, as he trudged through the snow.
As he took the steps down to the shore, he felt something hard in the pocket—a flashlight. At this his thoughts turned to Carmen's odyssey through the ice. I could go there, he realized, see it for myself. He hesitated at the bottom of the stairs looking out over the charred remains of the creature and wreckage scattered over the ice. What about that cave where she found the thermos, he thought, that's a lot closer.
He followed Carmen's footprints to a fissure, and, clicking on the flashlight, stepped from ice to rock.
Carmen leant against the closed door of her office and tried to reorder her thoughts. She would need to scan the sobriety aid and transmit the schematics to the factory unit, and then work out how to distribute the silver liquid to each and every burning station on the planet. It's a good plan, she told herself, trying to squash a rising sense of unease.
While the computers booted, she looked around the room for the sobriety aid case, rummaging through piles of blankets, and opening empty case after empty case. Stepping over the eviscerated remains of the stretcher to check the medical case she noticed two red smears on the floor—hand prints. The fingers were clearly visible at the top of both smears. Beneath the dried blood she saw the glimmer of scratched metals. Fragments of fingernail speckled the smear. Roderick, Carmen realized, too many fingers to be Chris. Carmen shivered, the quicker she could get her work done, the better.
Turning back towards the door, Carmen caught sight of a small silver case under the desk, tucked between two computers. Of course, she thought sarcastically, where else would it be. She swung into the chair, picked up the case, and pulled herself to the desk. Opening the drone control panel, she directed the remaining observation drone towards the house.
As she waited for the machine, her thoughts turned to Chris. He was acting weird this morning; it didn't look like he slept. She remembered the bright crimson stains spreading on his right hand's bandages. I don't remember him getting scratched there, she thought, but maybe he did, or old cuts opened up again.
The drone arrived, hovering outside her window, looking into her office rotors a-blur. Her screen displayed her office and screens displaying her office that plunged into recursion, a tunnel of herself undulating as the drone swayed in the wind. It made her feel seasick. She cut the feed and went to work.
Chris kicked a small hole in the ground. He swung his flashlight left and right illuminating black rock walls encircling him. Echoes of the scuffed impacts of his feet slushed around him.
He brushed a layer of snow off the floor and saw something dark in the depths. Kneeling, he focused his flashlight on the form trapped in the ice. It was a Craven, its ribs splayed apart, the cavity stuffed with purple flowers, its wings askew. Dissected, just like the one we found in front of our shuttle. He swept the snow from a larger patch, revealing dozens more butchered Cravens beneath the surface, purple flowers scattered amongst them.
Chris flicked the light back to the walls around him. What is this place, he thought, some sort of temple?
There was something odd about the walls, he stepped up onto the bank at the edge of the room. A sprawling design covered every inch of the walls, chiseled in minuscule detail into the stone. Here were shapes: triangles, squares, circles, loops, and spirals. Then, like signals emerging from static, the shapes resolved into images—a pine, a bird, a shuttle, the sinuous form of a millipede. He stepped closer.
The designed showed a bird in front of a vessel, clusters of tight spirals— flowers—spilled from it. A sacrifice, he thought, or a summoning.
He stepped back. The image were just a small portion of a landscape—an island capped with pines. Birds lined the pine limbs and floated above the canopy caught in mid flap. The sky itself was a geometric maze—circles with lines radiating from them, squares with triangles overlaying them. As he scanned the wall he began to see the shapes repeat—the same circle with the same lines, the same square with the same triangles. He swung the light downwards.
Cut deep into the rock in minute detail was a city. Each buttress and spar of ice recreated in stone, uncracked. Etched amongst the carvings were the long forms of innumerable megapedes. They stood along the boulevards, and sat in squares together. They were entering, and exiting holes in buildings. They were carrying shallow baskets. In a deep gash in the wall, they climbed columns, and stood by piles of something.
My God, these ones are all dead, realized Chris, and he recoiled. If they're as diverse as we are… an entire culture… each one with their own complicated life. He remembered Roderick, convulsing. The man's stories about his life, the boring circuitous anecdotes. He sank back onto the ground. Sitting there before the mural he began to sob, his crying echoing up through the shaft into the air.
It took Carmen less than an hour to reprogram the sobriety aid, transmit the schematics to the factory unit, and direct her fleet to converge on the tower. She was aided by the fact that whoever had reprogrammed the tiny machines to work as a sobriety aid had been lazy. Rather than writing a new program, they had just added extra lines of code in the original program to stop the machine from consuming the human body. All she had to do to reprogram the machines was delete those parts of the code.
As soon as she was done, she stood, picked up the medical case and left the room. Heading to the bathroom she added several boxes of tampons to the medical case as well as both their toothbrushes. She then went to the kitchen to pack the food they'd need. I hope Roderick's ship has a microwave.
Carmen jumped, she had been so focused on her piles of trays, that she had not heard Chris come in. He was leaning in the doorway, his face cast into shadow.
"Hi," said Carmen, flustered, "I'm just packing."
"You're already done?" Chris moved into the light and she saw his eyes were puffy, he was haggard, shrunken, "that was quick."
"I guess," Carmen picked up a stack of meal packs, and walked past Chris, "You want to help pack?"
"Sure," replied Chris unenthusiastically, "What do we need?"
"Chris..." Carmen caught herself before she snapped, "Something to carry enough water for today, look through the bedroom—I've already gone through my office, the bathroom, and the kitchen." Jesus, she thought, do I have to hold your hand?
"Okay," Chris brushed past her, disappearing into the bedroom, "I'll see what I can find."
Alone again in the kitchen, Carmen leant against the counter, and took a breather. Was he always this way, she asked herself, or did this place make him like this. It doesn't matter, she realized, it's who he is now. She sighed, I hope I never see this place again
After rifling through the cupboards and cabinets one final time, they carried the cases up to the hallway, and out to the shuttle. They packed their shuttle in silence, each struggling with their own stack of cases. However, the silence did little to comfort Carmen; his presence was sandpaper across her exposed nerves.
Having packed the shuttle, they sat down diagonally across from one another. Tapping on the wall to her right, Carmen created a screen and, using the tablet as a reference, keyed in the coordinates for the factory unit. With a shudder, the shuttle engines roared to life. Carmen watched the clearing recede through the tears in the door.
Switching to an exterior view, she moved the screen to hang in the air between them. The crevasse faded to nothing, the wreckage became burnt out pixels on a screen, and soon their island was nothing but a comma of snow-laden pines trapped in an expanse of snow. Then they slipped over the ridgeline and it was all gone.
For a while Carmen watched the pines, rock, and snow flick past, but soon her thoughts turned to the bloody handprints on the floor of the study.
"Chris," she began, eventually, "was Roderick in a lot of pain when he died?"
"No," Chris had an inscrutable look on his face, "he died in his sleep, after I gave him painkillers."
"You were there?"
Chris took a while to answer, "yes, it must have happened just after I came back with the medical case. I gave him pain meds, and sat down to watch the footage. The next time I looked over he wasn't breathing."
"He didn't struggle or anything?" Carmen asked, innocently.
"Nope, just drifted off I guess."
Carmen looked at Chris, trying to find his eyes, but he was looking away. Fidgeting with the zip on his coat, he was flicking rapidly through views of the blurred landscape. He's lying, but why is he lying, she shivered. Now with nothing else to do, her mind would not let go of the sense of unease. Layers of frost spread over the walls. She picked at the delicate plates of ice. Either he wasn't there, or he has a reason to lie about what happened. She remembered the fresh blood on his right hand. He got rid of the body pretty immediately, he could have injured his hand doing that—no those injuries were days old, he hadn't needed a bandage then. Fuck it, Carmen thought, better to stop beating around the bush.
"Chris," she said, calmly, "why are you lying to me?"
"What? I—" for an instant Chris looked startled, then a mask of calm settled over his face, "I am not lying, I have no idea why you'd think that."
"Look, I don't know what happened. But I do know that Roderick left smears of blood all over the floor." Carmen looked over at him, Chris stared back, but his eyes flickered.
"Carmen, both my hands were fucked up, I leant over him, tried to give CPR, I probably leant on the ground with my hands."
"Leaned hard enough to leave scratch marks in the floor, and fragments of fingernail?"
"Maybe, Jesus Carmen, He'd just died, I had to give CPR, I was pretty frantic. I don't know why you're trying to blame me, I'm not the one who peaced as soon as he woke up."
"I never blamed you Chris, but there were two sets of scratch marks, and last I checked you have about one hand's worth of fingers."
This statement was rewarded with a heavy silence. Chris did not move, he seemed paralyzed, opened mouthed in his seat.
"Maybe the scratching happened while I was getting the case, I don't know."
"You didn't notice them when you fed him the pain medication?"
"Why are you interrogating me?"
"This isn't an interrogation, I'm just trying to work out what happened."
"I told you what happened. He probably had internal injuries, he died in his sleep."
"How did you hurt your hand?"
"I told you, the Megapede bit off my fingers. What now I'm lying about that too?"
"No, the other one."
"When I went out alone at night."
"It wasn't bleeding before, certainly not enough to soak through a bandage." Carmen had had enough. "Fuck Chris what could possibly be so bad that you can't tell me the truth," Carmen shouted, but before she'd even finished the sentence, she realized she knew. She stared at him, speechless. He met her eyes, stubbornly staring right back at her. Then his gaze flickered and suddenly he just looked tired.
"I… he..." he inhaled, breath audibly hitching, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied. I killed him, it was an accident. We argued, he grabbed me," he paused for a moment, and when he continued his voice was even, monotonous like he was reciting a mantra, "I killed him, but he was a bad person."
"He is now. He's never going to have the chance to be anything different."
"He was responsible for thousands of deaths that we know of. You don't come back from that." Chris said fervently, "he was a bad person."
"That may be. But you don't get to decide that. You are not justice."
"There are no laws out here. People just do what they want and justice takes what it can get. That was why I had to do it."
"You didn't have to do anything." Carmen replied, "and quite frankly it was that frontier bullshit that got us into this mess in the first place."
"And how about your plan, hmmm?" Chris sneered, "you're breaking more laws than I did."
"Except, my plan won't hurt anyone. Chris if you think I'm upset about the legal implications of what you did then you don't understand anything."
Carmen was done, she realized. Done with Chris, done with trying to unravel him. He was too caught up with the legend of himself to ever really be himself when it counted. Looking away from him, she brought up views of the outside. With each sliver of land that whipped by she imagined what might have been. Resorts, condos, golf clubs, labyrinthine assisted living complexes, mega hospitals, spaceports, clubs, bars: she thought of the clutter, the bustle of people.
My plan will hurt people, she realized, FrontEx, their shareholders, the economy, that's people. But what's money in the face of extinction? How much is not going extinct worth? FrontEx was going to take this extraordinary place and make it ordinary, make it a place people went to vacation or retire. I'm right. The last of her doubt flickered, and died.
Chris skipped through the views of outside, watching a burgundy tower swelled in the distance. He'd seen it before on Carmen's monitors, but that had hardly done the building justice. It was gigantic, sticking out of the pines like a golf tee out of the green.
Across the cabin, Carmen continued to studiously ignoring him. Her brow furrowed, her face screen-lit by the tablet. We're done, he realized, I failed. This realization did not upset him nearly as much as he expected, instead he felt a sense of relief. It was as though he had just articulated a truth he had known for a while, but had been afraid to admit.
They cleared the final ridge he saw a fleet of drones. Regimented, they hovered above the ice awaiting orders, their shadows a grid on the snow beneath. Their shuttle soared over them, presenting Chris with a close up view of a swathe of machines. While from a distance and through a low-definition screen they had appeared new and gleaming, now he saw the scars crisscrossing the metal, each drone slightly different from the next.
The hulls of two bulbous, soot-cake blimps slid past, their forms spreading past the screen. He switched views, and saw a crack had opened in the building. Electric blue light spilled from it as it widened into a maw. They closed in on the tower, and it grew to occupy a screen, and the electric blue light faded to reveal a hangar beyond. A tank lined with robotic arms stretched across half the space, the arms were spraying a silvery substance into it.
"How long are we going to be here," he asked, expecting her to either ignore him, or snap.
"Should take about an hour to fix the shuttle," Carmen replied, her tone clipped, and businesslike, but not hurt, "we're going to have to wait outside while the shuttle gets fixed."
"Okay," Chris hesitated, "I'm sorry, you know," he ventured as the shuttle slowed, "I shouldn't have lied."
"But you did," Carmen looked him in the eye, "I don't know whether I'd have told the truth in your position, but… I don't know... It's unfair, maybe."
"Just say it," Chris said, "Whatever it is."
"I'm—We're—done," Carmen replied.
Out loud, the fact seemed smaller than the monster he'd imagine. She'd said it and suddenly it had been true for a while. Their arguments were scenes in a story that led to an inevitable conclusion. Outside the walls of the hangar swallowed the shuttle, erasing his view.
"Okay," he said, blinking back the tears welling in his eyes. It will be.
They landed, and Carmen bustled away with the tablet and the remaining vials of sobriety aid. She left the case with Chris and, taking out the insert, he pulled out the joints. Now's as good a time as any, he thought. Walking towards the lip of the Hangar, he sat, letting his legs dangle over the edge. He pulled out one of the half-burned joints, sticking it between his lips before checking his pockets for a lighter. Fuck, he thought.
"Here," came Carmen's voice from behind him, she handed him a slim, silver lighter, "I realized you didn't have one earlier," She said, sitting down along the hangar lip from him, "so I had the factory unit make it."
"Thanks," He lit the joint, and took a drag, "would you like some?"
Carmen hesitated for a moment, but then took it. She took a deep drag, and descended in shallow coughing. Chris took it back, chuckling.
"I'm not going to tell anyone," Carmen said, eventually.
"Thank you," Chris said, "I do regret it," he added after a long pause.
"I know you do. I know you."
"Do you think we can be friends."
"Eventually. We're going to have to back each other up—I doubt FrontEx is just going to take this all lying down. But I uploaded the footage from the ExoGenetics facility, and the city to the tablet, and backed up everything on the tablet and the USB. We have a good chance."
They sat together in silence, both looking out across the ice, and pines. Chris listened as the sound of the wind wove its way through the noises of machines working. Soaking up his last glimpses of the planet's stark beauty. What's going to happen to the Cravens and the Megapedes. All species are doomed to extinction, he thought, but only they have the right to cause it.
Stepping into the newly fixed shuttle, and hearing the door slide shut behind her, Carmen luxuriated in the growing warmth. Stripping off her gloves, and hat as the temperature rose she looked over at Chris. He was lost in thought, staring intently at a screen in front of him.
The engines came to life, and she felt the cabin judder slightly as they lifted off. They rose, the tower shrinking beneath them. The engines cranked up and they punched up, out through the atmosphere into orbit. At that moment she saw the first of her drones dip towards the tower. A mining drone—its sleek shape disappeared into the hangar and then it powered off out the other side, a blur leaving a faint puff of a sonic boom behind it.
The machine was headed to a burning station on the other side of the planet. There it would empty a few pints of the silver liquid into the station's water reservoirs. Injected deep into the ice, the substance would unzip any hydrocarbon it encountered, transforming it into water and graphene. If it didn't hit hydrocarbon for more than six months it would unzip itself. A simple, elegant solution.
Carmen smiled. I've got this, she thought. Cutting the feed, she set a course towards Roderick's ship. Then, closing her eyes, she drifted off to sleep.

Difference between revisions of "Cantonese phrasebook"
Revision as of 15:39, 18 June 2011
Cantonese (廣東話 Gwóngdūngwáh) is a widely spoken Chinese language. It is the local language in current use within the province of Guangdong, China, official language in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, as well as in the Special Administrative Region of Macau, and used in many overseas Chinese communities in South-East Asia and elsewhere, with Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) being two places where Cantonese is the dominant language in a Chinese community that is in turn huge and influential. Cantonese is also the dominant language in many Chinatowns all over the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Chicago, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Vancouver, Toronto and Kuala Lumpur. The dialect of Chinese spoken by many inhabitants of eastern Guangxi Province in mainland China, is often referred to a form of Cantonese as well.
Note that "dialect" has a different meaning when applied to Chinese from when it is appied to other languages. Chinese "dialects" have widely diverging pronunciations of the same words and even different words for expressing the same thing and different grammar such as different word order. Chinese "dialects" are mutually unintelligible, as different as say, Italian and French, which we would call "related languages" rather than "dialects".
Meanwhile, there are different variations of the Cantonese dialect that differ greatly from one another. For example, the Cantonese spoken in the far west of Guangdong province (like Taishan) not very intelligible to a native of Guangzhou City.
Speakers of all Chinese varieties usually use the same characters in reading and writing. Written language is more formal and closer to standard Mandarin Póutūngwáh (Mandarin Chinese), even when used by Cantonese speakers. Oral Cantonese contains many words for which there has traditionally not existed a written form. In recent decades, however, characters for many of these words have been created, chiefly by the Hong Kong popular printed media such as newspapers and magazines. It should be noted that the different Cantonese-speaking communities use one of two different forms of writing: in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and many overseas Chinese communities, traditional Chinese characters are in use, whereas the Cantonese-speaking communities in mainland China's Guangdong province as well as Singapore use simplified Chinese characters.
In many cases, the regional varieties are not clearly regionalised but vary gradually across a region. Thus, linguists can identify anywhere between seven and seventeen separate Chinese languages where the speakers of different dialects are mutually unintelligible. This list is based on the Cantonese spoken in Guangzhou. Note that the Cantonese spoken in Hong Kong and Macau differ slightly due to Western influences, though standard Cantonese as spoken in Guangzhou would be understood by everyone. The Cantonese spoken in Singapore and Malaysia also differ slightly due to Malay influences.
Some of the phrases in the list are difficult to translate from English to Cantonese.
Pronunciation guide
The pronunciations given in this guidebook use the Yale Romanization system. Sounds can only be approximated at best. This guide gives a general indication of the correct sound to make, but the best way to be completely accurate is to listen closely to native speakers and to mimic the sounds they make.
The final consonants p, t, and k are unreleased. This means that they are virtually silent and you hear no "puff of air" at the end of the syllable.
Cantonese is a tonal language. This means that the same syllable, pronounced in a different tone, has a different meaning. To complicate this, there may be more than one character pronounced as the same syllable with the same tone (though this is uncommon). In this case, context usually helps resolve the ambiguity. This may sound daunting, but is in fact is better than say, English, where there are a great deal of words that are spoken identically (eg. their, there, they're) and have nothing but context to help determine which one it is. Cantonese has context and tone to help distinguish words.
Different variations of the Cantonese dialect have a different number of tones, from as few as six to as many as ten or more. Most speakers, however, and all modern linguistic interpretations get by with being able to distinguish (both in spoken and heard Cantonese) between the following six tones:
The tonal pronunciation of Cantonese is by far the most difficult aspect of the often daunting language. The very minor initial difficulty in learning the tones is sometimes more than made up for by simple grammar, and absence of almost all plurals, genders, tenses and forms that make many other world languages seem difficult by comparison.
Phrase list
Clock time
Bus and train
In Cantonese, "train" is translated into 火車 (fóchē) and "bus" is 巴士 (bāsí). The language uses measure words or numeral classifiers before the actual nouns. In context of the following examples, the respective Cantonese measure words for 火車 and 巴士 are 班 (bāan) and 架 (ga).

Will Nobel Prize Bring Obama Momentum on Climate, Nuclear Weapons Policies?
In awarding President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norway-based Nobel panel praised Obama's commitment to international diplomacy and his administration's goals of tackling climate change and eliminating nuclear weapons. In his acceptance remarks earlier today, Obama said he hoped the award could be used as a means to give momentum to these causes. And momentum may be needed to fight the resistance among some lawmakers and well-heeled special interests.
In June, the U.S. House of Representatives passed its version of a controversial climate change bill 219-212. The cap-and-trade legislation would put more stringent limits on greenhouse gas emissions and create a market for emission-offset credits. The U.S. Senate has yet to vote on its version of the climate bill, and already the debate is fierce.
All the while, in the first six months of 2009, energy-related companies and organizations hired 2,054 lobbyists and spent $201 million on federal lobbying as they take Capitol Hill by storm.
Environmentalists, meanwhile, hired 413 lobbyists during that time and spent $9.8 million on federal lobbying.
On the issue of nuclear nonproliferation, Obama has repeatedly advocated for a "world without nuclear weapons" since taking office.
In an April speech in Prague, Obama pledged to reduce America's nuclear arsenal, if not eliminate it altogether, to host a summit on nuclear security, to seek ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, to strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to pursue a new agreement aimed at stopping the production of fissile materials, according to Politico.
Last month, Obama again detailed these ambitions at the United Nations. The U.N. Security Council, in turn, unanimously adopted a new nonproliferation resolution drafted by the United States. And the Washington Post notes that a U.S. delegation will attend the biennial U.N. session on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty for the first time in a decade.
In 1999, the U.S. Senate failed to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which the Clinton administration had signed. The final vote: 48-51 — and 23 Republican Senators who voted against it then are still in office today.
Defense companies, which could have a vested interest in the development and maintenance of nuclear weapons systems, spent about $62 million on federal lobbying during the first six months of the 2009, and they hired 1,005 lobbyists. Meanwhile, one of the organizations that have expressly lobbied in support of non-proliferation, the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, has spent less than $10,000 on lobbying this year. (Last year, it spent just $80,000 and hired three lobbyists.)
In a press release, the Nobel Committee said Obama's "vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations… [and] thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting."
Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Theodore Roosevelt was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1906, Woodrow Wilson won in 1919, and Jimmy Carter won it in 2002.
In remarks at the White House earlier today, Obama said, "We cannot tolerate a world in which nuclear weapons spread to more nations and in which the terror of a nuclear holocaust endangers more people. And that's why we've begun to take concrete steps to pursue a world without nuclear weapons, because all nations have the right to pursue peaceful nuclear power, but all nations have the responsibility to demonstrate their peaceful intentions."
Obama also mentioned the need to pass climate change legislation, to end the war in Iraq, to thwart terrorist threats in the United States and Afghanistan, to deal with the fallout from the global economic crisis and to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
What do you think: Might the Nobel Peace Prize help the Obama administration secure progress on any of these goals? Or should the Nobel Committee have awarded the prize to someone else?

The UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has confirmed that Iran has removed seals from one of their nuclear facilities and is set to begin research within hours. This ends a two-year suspension of research there, and could result in possible UN sanctions.
Germany described Iran's latest actions as "very, very ominous", which along with other Western countries fear Iran's nuclear program being used to make atomic bombs, despite Tehran's insistance that their efforts are for the production of energy only. Few believe that.
Russia, a member of the UN Security Council, suggested that Iran be allowed to conduct uranium enrichment in their country, to ensure its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. The U.S. favored the plan, but Iran refused it.
Cuba, on the other hand, favors what they call Iran's 'peaceful program'. As quoted by Granma daily, Fidel Castro said on January 5, 2006...
"Iran, like any nation, has the right to produce atomic energy for peaceful purposes, and to have access to modern technology for this aim."Israel, which said Iran was the No. 1 danger three years ago, has much reason for concern today. Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that the death of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon would be a serious defeat for United States policy in the Middle East, that...
"On the one hand there is Iraq, and on the other hand Palestine and Lebanon, displaying the weakness and powerlessness of the U.S. and Zionism."And Iran's hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he hoped for the death of Sharon. Earlier he called for 'wiping Israel off the map,' and said the holocaust was a myth.
These are times that try men's souls, for sure.
