The Narrative begins with Douglass explaining that he was born in Talbot County, Maryland, but did not know his birthday because such information was often kept from slaves, which was lamentable and bothersome to him throughout his life. He rarely saw his mother and the identity of his father was unknown, although it was commonly assumed to be his first master, Captain Anthony. Anthony was a moderately wealthy slaveholder and was not particularly kind or conscientiousness. He rarely interfered when his overseers treated his slaves brutally.
Anthony was the clerk and superintendent for Colonel Lloyd, one of Maryland's wealthiest slaveholders. His plantation home was known as the Great House Farm, where Douglass resided when he was very young. Slaves received scanty allowances and had little time of their own; many were also cruelly beaten by the overseers. However, slaves on the outlying farm spoke highly of Great House Farm and considered it an honor to be sent there on errands.
Douglass detailed the sumptuous gardens of Colonel Lloyd's plantation and provided further information about the realities of slavery. He explained why slaves often praised their masters: they were afraid that the whites to whom they were speaking would report their insolence and they would be punished. Douglass also wrote of the wild and mournful beauty of the slave songs and how they suggested the horrors of slavery.
Douglass did not have many tasks on Colonel Lloyd's plantation. He was often cold and hungry. Thankfully, it was announced one day that he amongst several slave children was chosen to live with Anthony's son-in-law's brother, Hugh Auld, in Baltimore. Douglass attributed this fortuitous event to divine intervention; he knew God meant for him to one day escape the bonds of servitude.
Douglass's new mistress, Mrs. Auld, was sweet and untouched by the destructive effects of slavery. She refused to treat him ill and even decided she would teach him how to read. Her husband, however, knowing the effects of teaching a slave to read – intractability, unmanageability, disillusionment – forbade her from doing so. Douglass decided he would teach himself how to read and write; this he did by learning from the Baltimore street boys and using the Aulds' son's copybooks to practice writing. Douglass attained a copy of the Columbian Orator, which provided him with writings on emancipation and a denunciation of slavery.
After Captain Anthony died his assets, including all of the salves, were divided amongst two of his children. Thankfully Douglass was able to remain with Master Hugh, but this was short-lived: a quarrel between Hugh and his brother, Thomas, resulted in Douglass being sent to live with Thomas instead. He was not sad to go, as drink and the realities of slavery had ruined Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Auld, respectively, but living with Master Thomas was not pleasant either. Thomas was ignoble, cowardly, cruel, and virulently hypocritical in his faith. He and Douglass did not have a good relationship, and the latter was sent to work on the farm of Edward Covey, the famed "slave-breaker" known for "taming" slaves.
Living with Covey was the low point of Douglass's life. He was beaten frequently in the most unjust manner conceivable, he lost his desire to read and improve his intellect, and his spirits were broken. Covey was a most abominable man; he was duplicitous, merciless, fickle, and capable of savage brutality.
One day Douglass was very ill and could not complete his labor. This drew the attention of Covey, who beat Douglass until he was nearly senseless. Douglass resolved to journey to Master Thomas and beg him to protect him against Covey. Thomas was not amenable to this decision and Douglass had to travel back to the farm. On his way he stopped at the house of a wife of a fellow slave, Sandy. Sandy gave Douglass a special root and promised him that if he kept this root at his side he would never be touched again by a slaveholder. Douglass was skeptical but took the root.
When he arrived back at the farm Covey once again came upon him and began beating him. Douglass resolved that he would resist this time, and for over two hours the men were locked in combat. Douglass did not actually fight Covey but physically resisted the man's attacks. Finally Covey backed down and Douglass was free. For the duration of his stay on the farm Covey did not touch him, and Douglass believed it was his desire to keep his reputation that prevented him from turning Douglass in. This episode was the chief moment in Douglass's life; he viewed it as the time when he moved from being a slave to being a man.
After a year with Covey Douglass left and went to live on the farm of William Freeland. Freeland was the best master Douglass had; he was fair, honest, gave his slaves enough food and tools, and had no pretensions to piety. Douglass started a Sunday school for nearly forty slaves, teaching them how to read and write. As time passed Douglass became increasingly aware that he was getting older and he was still a slave. He resolved to devise a plan to escape. Several of his friends decided to join in the escape attempt, even though they were all aware of the possible dangers that awaited them.
However, the plot was discovered and the escape attempt foiled. Douglass and his friends were put into jail and Douglass's spirits were profoundly depressed. Finally he was released back into the custody of Hugh Auld in Baltimore. When he returned to the city he was allowed to be hired out to learn calking (waterproofing a ship). His first experience resulted in his being beaten by several white men, afraid they might lose their jobs to free blacks. Douglass went to another shipyard and worked diligently. Soon he was commanding high wages but was bitter that he had to turn nearly all of them over to Master Hugh. It was his taste of freedom and autonomy that revived within him the desire to escape, and he began to formulate a plan.
In order not to rouse the suspicions of his master, he worked assiduously at his calking. He was loath to leave his friends in Baltimore but knew that the time was come for him to try and go to the North. Finally, he achieved this escape; however, he did not publish any details in the Narrative as to not provoke danger to those who helped him or those who were still in slavery.
He arrived in New York and was exultant at his independence. Almost immediately, though, he felt lonely and lost in the city. If not for David Ruggles, a man who was most helpful to slaves and free blacks, he would have had a much more difficult time. In New York he was able to marry his love, Anna, and the two decided to move to New Bedford where it was safer. There Douglass found work and reveled in the ability to keep all of his wages and take on the responsibilities of an independent man. He even changed his name from Frederick Bailey to Frederick Douglass; "Douglass" was suggested by a friend who had just read "Lady of the Lake".
Douglass experienced some prejudice working in New Bedford. He also began reading the prominent abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator, and was in awe of its impassioned denunciations of slavery. One day he attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket and was asked to speak. He took the stage, and although he was slightly nervous, he was able to tell his story. The Narrative concludes with his explanation that he has been doing this very thing ever since that fateful day.
The Appendix to the autobiography sets out Douglass's criticisms against the Christianity of slaveholders and explains to readers that Douglass is only critical of that very hypocritical type of religion, not religion in general. He locates authentic Christianity in the black community.

I have read this novella now five times over the past year or so, and feel like I could read it many more without growing tired, without growing bored. That's not because it's short, quick-reading, and I've got nothing else on my urgent 'To-read' list. Quite the opposite – I've re-read it so often already despite the fact there's so much else I want to get through.
It is addictive, compulsive, habit-forming, in the best sense. Like fresh coffee, or country walks. It feels comfortable on repeated readings, though it has lost none of its challenging qualities, nor its ability to surprise or amuse. There's a folk album quality to it. As with an album, I even feel that I've taken something new from it each time; there are different sections that appeal more, that have offered more when I've been caught up in different moods.
Indeed, reading it again just now, I found this aspect of the book extremely fitting to its themes – change weighed against continuity, daily life weighed against the spectre of death – and to the way Ben Myers has allowed the narrative to develop, giving himself space to balance these themes and submerge them within the delicate, subtle study of the two eponymous brothers, creating a sense of tension, flux and conflict, even as the sparse setting and the steady pace lends the work a feeling of compelling, almost unbreakable calm.
The story of a day in the life of these two brothers is relayed, with the exception of a brief intro, by way of the dialogue between the two. In the way the simple, direct language fits together, and the lines spark off each other to generate moments of bittersweet, quite often dark humour, there's a bit of Beckett about it, and a bit of Cormac McCarthy (think The Sunset Limited), too. Yet, if these inspirations were indeed there for Myers, they are there as an undertone, as a foundation only. He crafts something that feels new and original from the seemingly traditional, basic ingredients he starts with.
It is tempting to simply lavish praise on his concrete but unobtrusive writing style, and the way he's constructed the piece; to say that were it not for the way he tells it, this tale could run the risk of feeling old-hat and outmoded. After all, this day in the life can be roughly boiled down to a rather dull-sounding pattern of waking up, drinking coffee, talking about snow, chopping wood, talking about food, chopping more wood, eating food, and then going to bed. Over which hangs the threat of the brothers being kicked off their land by a faceless construction conglomerate.
Yet, the repetitive nature of this day, within the context of the rest of the protagonists' lives, is the backbone of the story. It is crucial to its ultimate meaning, and to why that story works so well here. In Myer's hands, what could have been off-puttingly dour kitchen-sink realism transplanted to an unnamed valley in Scandinavia, becomes an affecting meditation on the ways in which consistency and routine can become intrinsic to a person's survival. And, because of this, I came to care about the survival of these characters – there has been a point, earlier and earlier, in each reading where the characters have simply taken over, and any admiration for the simplicity of form gets lost, as it should, in the mix.
Their discussions of coffee and snow and food and the threat posed by the aforementioned faceless construction conglomerate are fascinating, funny, and frequently insightful. There are sections that I'd like to quote here by way of demonstration, but for those who haven't read it, I don't want to spoil the surprises.
I may have said too much already – though, as mentioned earlier, here is a book where it is more important how something happens than it is what happens.
Which is fortunate because, as also stated above, it is simple and sparse in terms of plot. Yet, like the meals the book's titular brothers describe to each other, it feels wholesome and hearty with it. Though it describes a place of desolate, isolated, seemingly unending cold, it evokes as well a sense that change and renewal abound constantly, beneath the beneficial routines, beneath the blanket of snow. Despite that snow, it brings with it a warming sensation. It rekindles a vitality in me which, particularly under recent grey skies, it's too easy to worry I've lost.
That is, it reminds me that no matter how little you feel like you have, and how monotonous your days may seem, there is always something to lose. And it is worth taking the time to appreciate that thing – life – as fully as you're able, in whichever fashion you prefer, because, afterwards, it will only and always be too late.
I've read this novella so often already, then, because I don't think you can ask too much more of a story than that.

Last week, I returned to the Baldwin Hills overlook. It had been a while since I made it up The Hill and now that we are falling into Daylight Savings Time it appears my late afternoon 7 mile hikes will become even more infrequent.
I always go well prepared. A camelback full of water. An iPhone full of juice. And a tiny iPod full of randomly selected songs.
Occasionally, one of the songs is not a song at all. But an old radio spot that managed to find its way into my iTunes library.
One of those spots, for Earthlink popped up out of the blue. I wrote it at a time when China was still following the path of Mao Tse Tung and Russia had just awakened from its drunken experiment with Bolshevism.
I decided to bring this to your attention because there has been a lot of press lately about good clients/bad clients, good agencies/bad agencies.
When I wrote this spot, I had the good fortune of working with one of the best clients -- Claudia Caplan, who is also a good friend. Prior to the Earthlink assignment, I knew of Claudia because she had made a name for herself as one of the top copywriters in Southern California. She had won all kinds of awards and her work was featured in many of the ad annuals.
This gave me a chance to see -- and steal -- her writing style. Always sharp, always intelligent, always well-crafted.
Long story short, we hit it off right away. I'm here to tell you there is nothing better than to have a former copywriter or art director, someone who "gets it" and knows what it takes to come up with ideas, as your client.
We had a good run on Earthlink.
We did smart, funny work. Messed around with animators for some very interesting TV. Increased their subscriptions. And even won a few awards. Then, as it always does, the brass at Earthlink brought in some MBA hack from Coca Cola who quickly demanded we 'lobotomize' the campaign.
I think we all know how that story ends.
Nobody does radio anymore.
I'm still plugging away as a 44 year old freelance copywriter.
And Claudia has some big wig job in NYC. She has tried to explain to me what she does, but when I hear words like disintermediate and shifting platform development, the hair in my ears tends to bunch up and I drift off to fantasies about Derek Jeter's fiancé.
I'm not saying I wish Claudia would get fired from her job and become the next CMO at a large brewery or automaker and hire my partner and me to create the next campaign, but I'm not not saying that either.

iRock iPod and iPhone Dock
We all know of the days when owning a pet rock was actually cool. Not so shockingly it was in the 70's when weed was also popular. That's not what I'd call a coincidence. Well for those of you that miss your pet rock, but you're now a respectable adult you should pick yourself up an iRock. You can talk to it just like your old rock, but it actually has a function.
Just pop your iPod or iPhone into the dock and it can be charged or synced up to your computer with the included USB cable. The dock is made out of a rock with Eastern Red Cedar Wood in the middle. These are created by an individual and sold through Etsy. Which means that these will come out in very limited quantities. You can pick up yours for $70, which is a bit steep for a rock. At least it's an electronic rock though.

Doing another recap right away because I'm a bit behind.
Well, we last left off with a good cliff-hanger involving Miku and "player" Hayato…. In the last episode, Hayato suddenly planted a kiss on Miku when she was feeling bad about Souhei and his girlfriend.
Episode Summary:
Miku is making some shaved ice while remembering what happened.
When Hayato had kissed her, she shoved him away and ran.
Souhei runs up all excited and starts going crazy on the ice, making too much in the process.
Miku tells herself that it's painful to be in love with someone she's not fated to be with.
For some reason, I find this line to be better than the others in the previous episode where she was acting all confused and almost calling him her fated person and correcting herself. This line shows she's really accepted that she can't be with him… though whether she acts to try and get over him or not isn't decided yet.
Anyway, after making too much shaved ice, Souhei runs away to soccer, telling Miku to save him some for when he gets back, (won't it be melted by then…? lol).
At practice, his friend is talking about how he likes Kiyoko, the college girl living at Miku's house. A girl, appearing to be a soccer manager classmate, watches from the side, holding a water bottle.
Miku is at a shop, getting food (obviously XD), when a younger boy with a hairstyle just like Hayato's suddenly calls out to his brother. She turns around, and sure enough, Hayato is right there.
They're suddenly eating something together sitting on the grass. Hayato abruptly gets up to get a drink and his brother, named Kou, asks Miku if she dislikes Hayato. She tells him she just doesn't understand the guy and Kou knows right away that his brother did something she didn't like.
He explains to her that his brother just isn't good with girls and that he just has never really liked one yet. He alludes to a feeling he has that Hayato likes Miku, but she doesn't really catch on to it. It's also shown that Kou is cute and charming and looks up to Souhei's soccer skills.
At supper, Souhei tells the others that his soccer team is having a practice match and needs people to come cheer. Kiyoko immediately agrees and says she was a cheerleader before and will teach Miku some moves. Miku isn't sure she'll go.
When Naoharu, (the college otaku boarding at the house), asks if Souhei's girlfriend Ozawa will be there, Souhei says she won't be and Miku briefly feels bad for feeling happy about it.
After supper, Miku is talking to Naoharu, telling him "her friend" likes someone who's already dating someone and says "her friend" feels tired and pathetic. Naoharu has a cute line of saying he understands and that jealousy is a powerful emotion that depletes more HP than usual. For some reason, Miku acts surprised at being diagnosed with jealousy, (really, Miku…?). Naoharu continues being a cute nerd by telling her that as long as the "character" is jealous, they can't "level up". (I'm loving this guy!)
She asks him what should be done and he takes out his game and says "Reset". Miku has a look like, 'Why'd I ask this guy…?', but I feel he's telling her that jealousy is a super difficult emotion to get over and that it won't be easy to get rid of it.
On the balcony at night she wishes to herself with a smile that she could reset herself.
She sees Souhei on the phone on his area of the balcony and runs back when he waves to her. He looks a bit disappointed when she leaves. Laying on her bed, she wishes she could go back before she knew about love. (Seriously? I feel she just wants to own him or is in love with the idea of being with him at this point… but this is what a lot of girls her age would think, so I guess I can accept this.)
In school, the boy that likes Kiyoko is asking Miku to bring her to the soccer game so she'll become interested in him by watching him play the game. Miku mentions that Kiyoko said she already has a boyfriend, but the guy doesn't think it matters. However, Miku still doesn't know whether she's actually going yet or not.
Then there's a short little scene of Souhei meeting up with Hayato. Souhei tells Hayato to bring his younger brother Kou to the game and they talk about him before Ozawa runs up to them. Hayato eyes them a bit before saying goodbye and running away. The couple watch him, kind of seeming confused as to why he left so quickly. Hayato always seems a bit uncomfortable around Ozawa….
In another short scene, it shows Souhei loving the food Miku's mom made. Naoharu mentions that he doesn't want to go to the game if Ozawa's not there, since he likes how she looks like his favorite game character.
Then, Miku and her mom are alone together. Her mom tells her to bring Souhei some of the food to the game. Miku says she can't do that since she's not his girlfriend, but her mom says it's okay because his girlfriend won't be going, (what are you teaching your daughter? Haha.). Miku looks happy.
Laying on her bed, she looks through a bento cookbook as she happily remembers that Souhei's girlfriend won't be there to get in the way of her flirting.
The next day, the bento is made and she's ready to go. Unfortunately for her, Kiyoko quickly tells her that she's going to the beach with her boyfriend and runs off before Miku has a chance to say anything about it. Miku has to carry all the stuff to the soccer game by herself. Though, since Kiyoko probably wouldn't have helped with carrying anything anyway, she's probably just annoyed that she has to go there alone.
At the game, Souhei thanks Miku for coming, though his friend is disappointed Kiyoko didn't show up. The boys go back to the game leaving Miku happy.
But her happiness doesn't last long. The female soccer manager runs up to her and tells her that she shouldn't misunderstand. Miku is confused. The manager says "He's nice to everybody. That's why everyone likes Souhei." Miku is somewhat at a loss for words but manages "I'm not really…" before the manager cuts her off saying, "Is that so? Then good." She runs to the game leaving Miku upset.
Luckily, the cute Kou comes up before she gets too sad, but with him comes Hayato. There's not much of a chance for her to feel uncomfortable though, because the game is on and soon she's focused on watching Souhei. Hayato watches her watching his friend.
During the break, Miku sees Souhei stretching and is trying to get the courage up to go over and give him some encouragement. But as she hesitates, she hears a familiar voice.
Ozawa has come with a surprise picnic basket. Miku looks like she wants to cry as she thinks, "To come at this moment… it's not fair."
Sorry Miku, but I don't think it's fair of you to take advantage of Ozawa's absence to make a move on her boyfriend. Sheesh.
Hayato watches as Miku is jealously watching Ozawa cheer on Souhei. Souhei scores a point and does a flip for Ozawa.
After the game, Miku is about to give Souhei the bento, but Ozawa beats her to it. Ozawa has made enough food for everybody, so they're all happy.
Miku looks shocked. Feeling useless, she announces that she's leaving.
Ozawa seems more disappointed by it than Souhei does.
Sitting at a picnic table alone, Miku starts eating the lunch she had made for Souhei. Hayato appears and asks if he can have some, (he made me smile. So cute!). She let's him and he says it's delicious.
Is it just me or is it really appealing to watch a guy eat a bento made by a girl he likes? I loved this scene!
But, of course, Miku breaks the mood by beginning to cry and blaming Ozawa for not playing fair. Hayato looks like he feels bad.
Meanwhile, Souhei and Ozawa are walking and talking. Suddenly, he pulls her into an unexpected, (well, if you haven't seen the previews), kiss!
Back to Miku and Hayato – Hayato apologizes for kissing her the other day. She's now cheered up and says it's okay because he ate the lunch for her. She adds that he does it all the time so it must have been more like a greeting kiss anyway; nothing special. He says that's not true. It was his first time wanting to kiss a girl. All the other times, the girl kissed him and he just didn't stop it.
Hayato then tells her that he likes her.
She thinks, "My first "like"".
Opinion After Watching:
Hmmm, things are getting a little better. Miku isn't obsessing as much in this episode so I didn't feel as annoyed. Yes, she was still selfish and irritating in the fact that she thought that Ozawa showing up wasn't fair. It's as if she thinks they're on equal grounds. She would have a right to think it was unfair if they were both trying to win Souhei… but the fact is, Ozawa already won. Once the guy is taken, you back off. You're the one in the wrong, Miku.
The manager girl was annoying too. I wonder if she knows Souhei is dating Ozawa… I'm afraid that she might end up being worse than Miku. I don't need another boyfriend-stealing character in this drama! Haha.
Hayato's little brother was too adorable and Hayato himself is starting to grow on me as well.
Since they changed so much from the manga, I'm hoping she ends up with Hayato! Maybe things will change enough later on, though, so I'll keep watching and recapping to find out.

Awesome game, by the way. I like them when I can win in one day...
I'm just sitting here freezing in the apartment that we're keeping cold on purpose, clicking the mouse to try and find out what is going to happen next. Thinking and cheating with online walk-throughs. So I read ahead a little bit...and found out about the Unmaking spell you learn at the very end. Oooh...i thought...that sounds like Alvin Maker series stuff right there...I wonder if Card has ever heard of this. Right so that's my mindset going into the end sequence.
So then I'm a swan flying off into the sky and then the credits pop up...I never watch credits because I'm hardly ever interested in the actor...I'm more interested in the character that they played...but Bobbin had an interesting voice actor, so I watched the credits to see who voiced him (a one-hit wonder, I guess). And ka-pow there he is (I mean Card of course) right there on the screen. Script something or other...it was really cool...because I was thinking of him before and then there he was...like a dream come true...or something like that.
Sorry about the lack of postage...Der feindliche Tor ist unten!!!

HonorVet collaborated with an anonymous donor and The Celebrate Freedom Foundation to donate a house to severely wounded Afghanistan Veteran in March 2013.
The City of Giddings and the Giddings Area Chamber of Commerce presented US Marine Corporal Sean Friedrich and his wife Anna with their brand new home at 11:00am on March 2nd at a special ceremony that included representatives from HonorVet.org and The Celebrate Freedom Foundation. The home then underwent three and a half months of renovations to be made handicap accessible for Corporal Friedrich, who was severely wounded by multiple IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) while serving in Afghanistan
The legal work to prepare the home for donation was provided by the Law Offices of Thomas G. Amon in New York City with special recognition to Peter Patterson, Esq. who researched and drafted the necessary contracts to insure compliance with the IRS regulations governing charitable donations. The legal work associated with house closing was donated by Kevin Mutscher, Esq. of Betts Walters & Mutscher, located in Brenham TX. Through the generosity of those who live and work in Giddings, numerous upgrades to the home were made possible. They include a new roof, plumbing, lighting, furniture and more. The community has been very blessed to have this project and the results have been truly amazing.
Mayor Charlie Brown of Giddings said, "We are honored to welcome the Friedrichs into their new home here in Giddings, Texas. I am so proud of our entire community for their commitment to support our brave veterans. I hope that we as a community can inspire others across the country to do the same."
Donations continue to be accepted to help offset some of the costs. Fischer Langham Custom Builders, based out of Giddings, functioned as project manager for the home renovation. The local Boy Scouts have stepped forward and offered to maintain the Friedrich's lawn and surrounding landscape.
HonorVet and The Celebrate Freedom Foundation have created a unique model that will allow for follow-on properties to be donated to worthy veterans and their families. It is the hope of all involved that this project, while the first of its kind, will inspire others to donate homes across the State of Texas. It is their hope that banks – which today have hundreds if not thousands of foreclosed properties depreciating on their books will take advantage of this unique opportunity to help our veterans while gaining much – needed community support.
This donation and the people of Giddings, Texas have created the gold standard by which other communities can model their volunteer efforts toward similar projects. The town of Giddings whose volunteerism and support has provided the Friedrichs with not just a house, but a home and a welcoming community.
Special thanks to all who continue to dedicate time and resources to the project but especially Brian Fischer and Tim Langham, owners of Fischer Langham Custom Home, and Ms. Betty Walker for donating the home to HonorVet.

- Expository Language: I was careful to include words that are especially useful when writing expository essays. Having words such as despite, necessitate, disclose, evident, dictate, tertiary etc. in their vocabulary will help students as they work to improve their essay writing skills.
- Everyday Language: This is the vocabulary students will come to encounter on a daily basis, wether it be in conversation or reading a newspaper. Words such as bias, discern, evidence, hierarchy, and animosity are common vocabulary that students will need to apply from everyday discussion to understanding global events.
- Language for Creative Writing: This is often considered the 'fun part' of learning vocabulary. Descriptive words such as furtive, evanescent, measly, and aloof help to bring colour and description into creative writing pieces and aid in the enjoyment of reading fictional literature.
When creating this package I also thought of ways that I could work around some common deterrents for adapting a word of the day activity. With all the wonderful activities that go on inside a classroom it can be hard to find the precious wall space for a yearlong activity amongst the classroom charts, blackboards, bulletin boards, and student work. Instead, why not try a paper chain? Add a word each day, or alternately make the chain at the beginning of the year and snip of a word a day as you learn it.
It can also be difficult to continue to engage students as the year progresses with a repetitive daily activity. I chose to include classroom and student milestone stars. These are milestones of 50, 100, 150, and 180 words that the class has learned, a large star for the class word wall and the small ones for students to glue in their worksheet book. Sometimes knowing how far you've come with a project is enough motivation to continue.
If your looking for a "word of the day" activity package for your students, download the preview file from my Teachers Pay Teachers store and see if it might suit your needs.

Here's a couple of early WIP pics from the MAME ZN1 driver.
The majority of the ZN1 games have further protection that prevents them from working right now. But the ones that run on the Capcom ZN1 hardware will work now. Unfortunately we only have the protection chip for Gallop Racer, so only this one can work at the moment. We really need the remaining ZN protection chips to get further with the emulation of the other games, so if you have those games, or know someone who has those games, or want to buy those games, contact me so we can dump them 🙂

Hi Animosity-
You are having some of the normal side effects of Nortriptyline. It should improve as the weeks go by. I was on Amitriptyline and Guanaficine for sleep and night terrors PTSD. It is similar to Nortriptyline. Guanfacine helps with the racing heart symptoms. I was on a low dose of both.
PTSD is not easy to treat. I have walked your path.
Let us know how it goes. You are not alone.
Hang in there :)
Thank you. God bless. Sometimes I feel like I'm 90 years old
I am about 3.5 weeks in, tapering upwards to a current dose of 70 Nortrip. Once I hit 40+, I felt like I was moving like an elderly person. not steady on my feet, cognition slowed down, dizziness and drowsiness. Meeting my psychiatrist in two days as I feel like I need to taper back down. I have a very flat affect now and don't feel like myself. Can you give me an update on your status, animosity? thanks so much!
I'm off the drug. To me it was poison.

I think this year's recruiting is just as bad as last year. I don't really see a change in number of firms that came on campus.
WUSTL is a lot different than vandy on up. Here you don't hear people talking about V20s or V50s, you hear people talking about how they got a callback at the local firms that collectively hire about 35 people a year, pay 30K below market and pretend that you won't be worked as hard as Chicago, etc.
Then you have the IP secure people, but they talk about firms that only IP know/care about
Then you have a huge chunk of the class that didn't even get interviews at OCI. I had interviews each day of the week for EIW and only saw the same faces.
Some people don't even seem to know whats going on/or are keeping quite about their striking out
At the end of the day it's hard to tell if this is better or worse than last year
A lot different than USC too.
Wustl's stats are similar to USC/UCLA/Vandy/Cornell but our placement numbers are worse than GW, BU, BC.
The difference between Vandy and Wustl is equal to the difference between Wustl and Villanova.
The quality of "midlaw" and regional biglaw is terrible at Wustl.
Also, WUSTL IS NOT a powerhouse in the Midwest. When I go Cincinnati for a callback and the HR lady doesn't know anything about WUSTL that is a bad sign.....

War of Roses: 'Being in the marriage became life threatening' – TV presenter, Juliet Ojukwu
Juliet Ojukwu is a former Soundcity presenter, actress and model. In September 2011, Juliet met US based Chima Ojukwu and within a week, they were engaged. Less than three weeks after they met, Juliet and Chima had their introduction – on the 29th of September 2011, which was followed by a traditional wedding on Oct 4th. The white wedding was scheduled to take place in January in the US but it never held. A few months later, Juliet changed her FB status from married to single. After months of keeping mum about what really happened, Juliet gave an interview recently revealing that her marriage ended a while back after just a few months. What she said after the cut…
"We parted ways over irreconcilable differences. We were incompatible. At a point, being in the marriage became life threatening. If I was still in it, my enemy may have been dead by now, all in the name of trying to make it work and to avoid what people will say. I had to cancel the wedding in America because here in Nigeria where my family and his family are, there were verbal and domestic abuse. Going to a foreign land where I knew no one would have been worse. So, there was no need for the American wedding since it was already failing in Nigeria."
Chima's friends alleged that Juliet cancelled the wedding not because she was abused in the short-lived marriage but because she found out Chima wasn't as rich as he claimed. Juliet says the allegation is completely false.
"I didn't marry him for money and I don't know where people got that perception from. Maybe because I am an attractive lady, people assume I will only date for money but that's not true. What matters to me is love. If I was going to get married because of money, I would have been married to other men far richer than Chima long ago. But I turned down a lot of offers because I wanted to love and be loved. I am comfortable with the money I make from my job, so money wasn't the deciding factor in that marriage."

It's a pretty exciting time for the Mirebalais EMR team, as the hospital is going to see its first patients on Tuesday, and we're pushing out our final code fixes and features before "1.0"
I wanted to post a few pictures of the work we've been doing.
Here is our last daily standup before deploying the code. (If I look like I just woke up, well, it's because we moved them to 6am Seattle time for the week while some of the team was doing trainings in Haiti, and I had just woken up.)
Next up, are Mark and Nano pairing on deploying the final* code
More pics to come, of things that are more visually interesting than software developers. :-) (We may not look very exciting doing our day jobs, but we still deserve a little bit of glory...)

Telluride: Laurie Anderson's 'Heart of a Dog' Acquired by Abramorama, HBO Documentary Films
The film centers on Anderson's rat terrier Lolabelle, who died in 2011.
Ahead of it's Sept. 4 screening at the Telluride Film Festival, Laurie Anderson's new film Heart of a Dog has been acquired by Abramorama and HBO Documentary Films.
Centering on Anderson's rat terrier Lolabelle, who died in 2011, Heart of a Dog uses 8mm home movies, original violin compositions, hand-drawn animation and personal narration to explore larger themes of life, loss and the role that storytelling plays in everyday life.
After its premiere in Telluride, the film will make a number of stops along the fall festival circuit, including showings in Venice, Toronto, San Sebastian and New York.
"The HBO team has been so warm and dedicated, and their passion for our movie is delightful," said Anderson. "I'm beyond happy that Heart of a Dog will find such a wide audience with this wonderful team."
Abramorama will release the film theatrically in North America on Oct. 21, while HBO is planning a 2016 debut.

The CoveLarge Print - 2012

CommentAdd a Comment
I feel like reading this book was the equivalent of a master class in how to structure a novel. As always, Rash also displays a masterful use of language.
The prologue, set in the 1950s, has a man surveying an abandoned farm and discovering a human skull in the well when he tries to draw water. The first chapter begins on the same farm during World War I. As you meet the two people who live there and the handful of townsfolk with whom they interact, as well as a mysterious and mute stranger, you realize the remains belong to one of them.
This is a novel of outcasts and connection. Of how easily we can cast anyone into the role of The Other. How easily we see ourselves as the Good Guy and justify our own actions. It's a novel about love and loyalty, kindness and treachery and mob mentality. The characters are complex and real.
The Cove is a quiet novel that takes some time to really build its story. Rash takes these characters who are all outcasts in one way or another and lets them live out their story on the page. Everything—the imagery, the setting, et cetera—are very organic in the story. Along the way he stops and gives the reader a sense of the scents and tastes. He makes it seem so easy.
It's such a quiet story, but once the pace picks up, it moves until it reaches its startling conclusion. But none of it feels forced. It's sort of what I expected from the place and these characters. It works because it is natural. Rash knows his characters, their homes, and their world.
I am a fan of Rash so i was disappointed with this novel. It was, even though a novel, just not believable. He seemed to have thrown it together as if his heart was not in it.
Serena, wonderful; the Cove, a shadow of Serena and his other work.
Living deep within a cover in the Appalachians of NC during WWI, Laurel finally finds the happiness she deserves in Walter, but their love cannot protect them from a devastating secret.
Good prose & well constructed, though somewhat surreal story. Not a strong plot but enough tension to hold the reader, always a hint of coming disaster which the ending certainly provided though is also a small glimmer of salvation.
It stays in the memory.
This book started out good. I liked that there was a hint of witchery and superstitions. The ending felt like the author just wanted to be done and hurried to the end. So, it was okay but I really think it could have been better.
A sweet, melancholy novel, yet also full of the kind of prejudices we are so prone to in times of war. I enjoyed it!

The title for the episode this week comes for property rights in New York and perhaps other big cities.
When an elderly women halls of her balcony and lands on a parking space thief Holmes is called in to investigate.
Deciding the elderly woman could not move the device that helped her fall to her death, Holmes determines she was murdered, and killing a man on her way down makes it a double murder.
Holmes must chose whether or not to become involved with a business man he loathes to solve this case or take a chance on lossing the criminal.
Watson this time doesn't really have a case of her own, but is instead involved in a personal crises of Gregson's involving a new lover who was once a disgraced former police officer.
Highlights of this case involved Holmes knowledge of chemistry again and a few great one liners.
I am enjoying the fact, as I have mentioned before, that Watson is not as involved in the major cases as much and is often left to her own issues. Again this is making for less of a partnership and more for Holmes being the lead detective.
Miller's Holmes is still showing discomfort when dealing with personal issues, his or someone else's.
We get the Canonical line "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data" in this episode, but where and when it was used could have been picked better.
Although nothing remarkable this episode, it is staying strong with the rest of the season, so I can fairly once again give it;
I am looking forward to Elementary's treatment of HOUN this week.

|Crash location
|Nearest city
|Redlands, CA
|Tail number
|Accident date
|19 Feb 1994
|Aircraft type
|Stinson 108-3
|Additional details:
On February 19, 1994, at 1815 hours Pacific standard time, a Stinson 108-3, N6009M, collided with a power line and crashed about 3.75 miles west of Redlands Municipal Airport, Redlands, California. The pilot was conducting a local visual flight rules personal flight. The airplane, registered to and operated by the pilot, was destroyed by impact and the postimpact fire. The certificated private pilot, the sole occupant, sustained fatal injuries. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The flight originated at Redlands Airport about 1739 hours.
A witness reported that he observed the accident airplane flying from the west to the east at a very low altitude. About five seconds later, the airplane's right wheel struck the power line. After colliding with the power line, the airplane pitched upward and turned 180 degrees before it struck the ground.
Crew Information
The pilot held a private pilot certificate with an airplane, single-engine land rating which contained an endorsement prohibiting night flying. The pilot had not received any night flying experience when he applied for the private pilot certificate.
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) designated medical examiner issued the pilot his last third-class medical certificate on May 11, 1993. The certificate contained a "must wear corrective lenses..." limitation endorsement. The pilot indicated in the medical application form that he was convicted of driving while under the influence on an unspecified date in June 1988.
The pilot's family provided the National Transportation Safety Board with the pilot's flight hours and the airplane's maintenance logbooks. Investigators examined the logbooks at Aero Retrieval, Compton Airport, Compton, California, on February 24, 1994.
The pilot's logbook showed that the pilot had accrued 388 total flight hours as of February 13, 1994, of which 344 were logged as pilot-in-command (PIC). The pilot logged 227 hours in the accident airplane, all of which were as PIC. During the preceding 90 days of the accident, the pilot logged 12 hours. According to the logbook, the pilot satisfactorily completed a biennial flight review on June 27, 1993.
Aircraft Information
The maintenance records showed that an airframe and powerplant rated mechanic with inspection authorization accomplished the last annual inspection on October 8, 1992. The airframe and engine had accrued 1,645.51 hours at the time of the inspection. At the time of the accident, the airplane and engine had accrued 1,757.17 hours. There were no unresolved maintenance discrepancies noted in the maintenance records.
Meteorological Information
Redlands Municipal Airport does not have a certified surface weather observation facility. Ontario Airport, located about 22 miles west of Redlands Municipal Airport, is the closest certified surface weather observation facility. The following is the Ontario Airport 1756 hours surface weather observation:
Scattered clouds - 14,000 feet; visibility - 50 miles; temperature - 58 degrees F; dew point - 38 degrees F; surface winds - 240 degrees at 8 knots.
Wreckage and Impact Information
Mr. Scott Burton, Aviation Safety Inspector, FAA, Riverside [California] Flight Standards District Office, conducted the on-scene investigation. Inspector Burton reported that the airplane struck the 45-foot high power line in a level attitude while flying in a southeasterly direction.
The airplane came to rest on its right side about 945 feet east of the high power line. The postcrash fire incinerated the entire fuselage.
Safety Board investigators examined the airplane at Aero Retrieval, Compton Airport, Compton, California, on February 24, 1994. Mr. Jerry Prince, Aero Retrieval, did the maintenance disassembly.
All of the aircraft's major components and flight control surfaces were found. Continuity of the flight control cables to the cockpit area was established. The left wing remained attached at its respective attach points. The postcrash fire incinerated the right wing assembly.
The left navigation light filament displayed downward bending and partial stretching; the right navigation light filament displayed upward bending and partial stretching. Both light bulbs were found intact.
Mr. Prince reported that the right wing tip was found about 150 feet east of the power lines. Portions of the right wing ribs were found directly beneath the power lines.
The empennage remained attached at its respective attach points. Several electrical arcing signatures were found on the underside of the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator.
Continuity of the engine gear and valve train assembly was established. Investigators noted thumb compression throughout the continuity check. The oil suction screen was found free of contaminates.
The numbers 1 and 5 lower spark plugs were found oil soaked; the remaining lower plugs displayed normal operating signatures with minimal ovaling of the center electrodes. The number 1 upper spark plug showed slight oil soaking; the remaining plugs displayed normal operating signatures.
Both magnetos sustained extensive postimpact fire damage and could not be tested.
The carburetor was found attached at its respective attach points. The throttle lever was found in the full power position. The mixture lever was missing. Residual fuel was found in the carburetor bowl. The carburetor inlet fuel screen was free of contaminates.
The propeller hub assembly remained attached to the crankshaft. One propeller blade separated from the hub; the remaining blade remained attached to the hub. The outboard 16 inches of the attached propeller blade was found bent toward the face side about 15 degrees; the blade exhibited extensive diagonal (toward the tip end) chordwise scratch marks.
Medical and Pathological Information
The San Bernardino County Coroner's Office conducted the post mortem examination on the pilot. According to Mr. Edward E. Harier, Supervising Deputy Coroner, the pathologist did not report any findings that the pilot suffered from any physical disease that would have affected his ability to fly an airplane. Toxicological examinations conducted by the San Bernardino Coroner's Office revealed a blood alcohol level of 0.160 mg/dL. The San Bernardino County Coroner's Office sent toxicological samples to the FAA, Civil Aeromedical Institute (CAMI), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Dennis V. Canfield, Ph.D., Manager, Toxicology and Accident Research Laboratory, reported that his office sent the samples to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Washington, D.C., for analysis.
Dr. Barry Levine, Chief, Forensic Toxicology Laboratory, AFIP, reported that the examined specimens were slightly putrefied. He also reported that the volatiles showed a concentration of 180 mg/dL of ethanol in the blood (0.18 percent) and 240 mg/dL (0.24 percent) in the bile.
Tests and Research
According to Deputy Rangel, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the California vehicle code considers a person is driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 mg/dL (0.08 percent).
Title 14 CFR 91.17 states, in part:
(a) No person may act or attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft-
(1) Within 8 hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage;
(2) While under the influence of alcohol;
(4) While having 0.04 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood.
Additional Information
The Safety Board did not assume custody of the wreckage or any records.

In this fascinating speech, Harald Haas demonstrates how a LED light bulb can be used to transmit data, similar to a mobile device but in a significantly more efficient and fast manner. Motivated by the inefficiency of data transmission amongst the five billion mobile devices currently operated in the world, Harald Haas wanted to create something more productive.
Harald and his team of researchers at Edinburgh University created a light bulb that uses light instead of radio waves to connect to the Internet. Harald Haas uses a desk lamp to demonstrate how this technology, which he calls D-Light, works by streaming a high-definition video onto the auditorium's projector. With one flick of a light, D-Light can transmit more data then a cellular base system. Harald Haas offers an efficient and truly fascinating technology for today's wireless communications.

No people are naïve and unable to draw the line which is the issue. The exaggeration on my part was deliberate. In every age, Ulama have set the example and lived a lifestyle which is deliberately cautious and ascetic. There are plenty of examples where Ulama have issued a Fatwa (of permissibility) but refrained from the matter personally (as an example).
In our times, Ulama are not issuing a Fatwa because they lack the academic rigour and capacity but living a life which is two steps ahead of the doubtful.
They are supposed to refrain from "doubtful", having a birthday cake is not doubtful it is plain and simple emulation of the unbelievers.
Then we have agent provocateurs such as yourself who wish to strip every semblance of Sunnah out of the lives of believers and will not rest unless Aisha walks NAKED while flirting with every man on the street and then your heart will be pleased and your Nafs will be delighted that you have partly achieved your objective of gender parity.
Maybe America will pass a law which will require Muslims to cut cakes and celebrate birthdays and then a Fatwa can be issued (or common sense can be applied), until then Mufti Hussain Kamani has tried to be hip and cool and get a few more followers on Social Media by posting this picture.
It serves NO OTHER PURPOSE at this time.
You have not won in the past and you won't now but keep on chirping...

Victory Parade
Ads keep the MarioWiki independent and free :)
It has been requested that this article be rewritten.
A Victory Parade is a way of showing all or most of the characters who appear in a Mario game. It is akin to the cast roll from from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario World, where screens show all the characters or enemies in the game.
Parades are most often seen at the end of RPG games.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
Luigi, in his only appearance in the game leads the parade (aside from his wish being seen at Star Hill) shown at the staff credits at the end of the game. These characters appear in the following order:
Excluded characters[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
At the end, during the credits, a parade is shown similar to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Luigi leads the parade (which was implied to be the "top secret" important business that he alluded to earlier when leaving Mario). Six Toads walk by with trumpets, drums, and flags. Afterward, the Star Ship goes by with all of Mario's partners - Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Lady Bow, Watt, Sushie, and Lakilester - on it. Three female Toads walk by, followed by Chuck Quizmo and Vanna T.
The Koopa Bros. come by next on a car that resembles the fake Bowser. Four Bob-ombs explode on them. In the background, a lake goes by with the whale, with Kolorado and his wife on its back. Moustafa and some mice meet up with Rowf and Rhuff, while Tutankoopa is being chased by a Chomp, and escapes it. Buzzar and his mountain fly by, and three eggs in Buzzar's nest hatch. As Bootler comes onscreen, Tutankoopa is now being chased by three Chomps. Tubba Blubba appears to be floating through the air, but is really being carried by Boos. Tubba's Heart chases after his body. A tree goes by with Goomba King stuck in it, and the Goomba Bros. circling around it. Goomba King falls out of the tree.
Lavalava Island goes by, with the Yoshis on it, and Raphael the Raven and Lava Piranha (hardly smaller than the volcano) alternately peeking around the corner of the volcano. The five Yoshi kids jump off the island as Huff N. Puff and Gourmet Guy appear. The Yoshis attack them with their tongues, shrinking Huff N. Puff. Gourmet Guy pulls out a knife and fork and chases Huff N. Puff, trying to eat him. Crystal King appears, but another Crystal King reveals him as a Duplighost, only to be revealed as a Duplighost by the real Crystal King, who is then carried away by his Crystal Bits. Jr. Troopa and Kammy Koopa fight using magic. Bowser and some Hammer Bros. and Koopatrols go by. Bowser is in his Koopa Clown Car, and is caught in the crossfire of Jr. Troopa and Kammy Koopa's battle. As they go offscreen, he attacks them, burning them both as they come flying back onscreen.
It is now nighttime. The seven Star Spirits go by on their own car. Mayor Penguin, his wife, and two more penguins go by, followed by a band of Toads, two Amazy Dayzees, and then a car with the Ancients - Merlon, Merlee, Merluvlee, Merlow, Merle, and Madam Merlar, as well as Wise Wisterwood, with the Sun circling it. After two Bub-ulbs walk by, the Shy Guy with the flag walks by, after him a stage with General Guy, four Groove Guys, and two Shy Guys (from the Shy Squad) dancing on it appears. Twelve more Shy Guys walk by, and following up, the fifteenth Shy Guy (the straggler). Afterward, the six Toads with the trumpets, drums, and flags walk by again (with their spots flashing), and finishing up, a car with Mario and Princess Peach on it. Twink briefly appears before Mario and Peach walk to Mario's house to watch the fireworks, a large The End appears and zooms to the bottom, and the fireworks continue until the player turns off the N64 or Wii.
Excluded characters[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
This parade differs greatly from the previous two. As the credits are shown at the end of the game, while images of the game are being shown, the characters walk by in silhouette. Among the characters that walk by are Luigi, Goombella, Professor Frankly, Toadsworth, Zess T., Merlon, Merluvlee, Merlee, various enemies, Toads, and minor characters, Koops, Koopie Koo, Koopley, Kroop, Toadette, Dupree, Flurrie, Punio, Petuni, the Puni Elder, Puniper, Punies, a Jabbi, Jabble, several of the Piantas (likely Don Pianta, Frankie, Francesca, and either Tony or Vinny), Yoshi, Jolene, Prince Mush, Grubba (both his Grubba and Macho Grubba forms walk by separately), Bowser, Kammy Koopa, Doopliss, Beldam, Marilyn, Vivian, Admiral Bobbery, Flavio, Pa-Patch, Lord Crump, Ms. Mowz, Goldbob, Sylvia, Bub, Ratooey, Heff T., Toadia, the waitress, Zip Toad, Chef Shimi, the mayor of Fahr Outpost, General White, and Sir Grodus. Mario and Princess Peach are the last to appear.
In addition, during the pictures of the boss encounters, several bigger bosses or minibosses briefly appear onscreen (shadowed, like the others). These are Blooper, Hooktail, Magnus von Grapple, Cortez, Smorg, Magnus von Grapple 2.0, and Shadow Queen. Shadow Queen appears around the same time as Mario and Peach.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
After the Sticker Fest cutscene at the end, a parade happens, the parade is led by a Green Toad (or Luigi, if the player finds him all five times in the game) and two other Toads, the first float is the Sticker Fest stage, with 3 toads, then the World 1 float comes, the two bent Toads and the windmill are on it, then Goomba Fortress float comes up, the cannons shoot, and two Goombas come up.
The gate opening to World 2 comes next, with two Spinies holding it, the next floats combines the first three levels of World 2, with the Yoshi Sphinx, the graves, two Pokeys and the Paratroopa squad, the next float is Drybake Stadium, the roof has the Toad from Damp Oasis.
A Sombrero Guy, Accordion Guy, and Maraca Guy lead into World 3, Wiggler is next, a Green Toad and Snifts are on Wiggler, then the Snifit from Snifit or Whiffit appears, with more Snifts.
World 4 follows with a float with Cooligans and The Enigmansion with the Pink Toad and the Grayscale Toad, then the Big Boo pops up on the top of it. Three carts appear, one is pink and has Birdo on it.
The World 5 float has a Big Chain Chomp pulling it, there are Spear Guys, the Raft and the volcano with the Traveling Toad and the enemies he has been bullied with.
The parade shifts to night time, and Kamek leads the Koopa Troop, the first to appear are Buzzy Beetles. Then a float with a glowing version of the five main bosses appear, a Hammer Bro Boomerang Bro, Fire Bro and Ice Bro follow Bowser and Bowser Jr's airship float, then, eight glowing Toads hold the achievement flags to follow the final float, a glowing sticker comet float with Mario, Princess Peach and Kersti. The parade ends with three red toads. The camera zooms up to the The End text and the book closes, the lights turn off, and music plays until the player press the button.
After completing the game, Mario can go back to Decalburg's Sticker Fest area and talk to the Purple Toad, which will allow him to watch the parade again.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
The parade in this game begins with two Toads holding a banner with a Big Paint Star on the front with Luigi riding in his Standard Kart (if Luigi hasn't been found in all six spaces yet, the Toads hold a banner showing how many times the player found Luigi). Then following along is all five leaders of the Rescue Squad V alongside the Port Prisma float, featuring many Red Toads and all five Big Paint Stars forming a big wheel. Eventually, a rainbow forms behind them and fireworks go off as the wheel starts spinning and the Toads dance.
In the next part led by the Chosen Toads and a spinning Tea Cup with two Shy Guys is a float based on Ruddy Road, with the cafe on the wheel that is being spun by a Paint Guy on the wheel. A Shy Guy inside another teacup holds food and sucks it, breathing fire which summons Draggadon, scaring the Shy Guy. He follows on a float based on the volcano levels, with the hot springs from Redpepper Crater and the three Toads inside as well and a Shy Guy looking at them.
The Sunset Express follows on with many carriages. The first carriage has various Toads sitting on the seats, the next carriage has two Toads using the Salt & Pepper and the Lemon things on the Steak, which the Toads from the first carriage eat up. The last carriage has some Spikes and Spinies balancing on a hexagonal puzzle. Then, out of nowhere, a Big Thwomp destroys the hexagons and the Spikes and Spinies fall off.
The next float is based on the Mountain levels, with two Toads waving and two Shy Guys rolling rocks down the slope. As two Yellow Shy Guys hold giant pillars, the three Chain Chomp powered chariots with two Snifits and the Koopa Troopa rush through, along with Princess and the Toad Professor rolling down catching up with them.
Next up is an enemy parade, starting with various sized Goombas which the wild Yoshis from The Emerald Circus chase. Also from this level is a upside down Shy Guy, two Juggler Bros. and two Shy Guys on rings.
As the parade changes, the Snifit from Snifit or Whiffit appears alongside other Snifits cheering on. A new float appears with Toads relaxing on Bloo Bay Beach. On the same float is Dark Bloo Inn which lights up with the Ghost Toads flying out.
Next is Plum Park where Birdo performs her show to a small crowd. After this, a huge pirate ship with the pirate Toads appears, with Fortune Island in the distance.
After that, the parade shifts to night time, and what appears to be colorless Dry Bones and Shy Guys leads the way alongside some Boos, but then Kamek uses magic to turn lights on them on, revealing their color. The float coming up is a glowing float with all the Koopalings on. Then, coming from the bottom, is the Airship, carrying Bowser, who is riding in the Koopa Clown Car. Then, at the end, Toads carrying the Super Flags lead on to the final float, which is the boat from the beginning of the game, carrying Toad and Princess Peach. Mario then comes out and talks to Peach as fireworks go off. Then, Toad and Peach head into the float with Mario looking out for a bit. He gives the player a thumbs up as the float vanishes.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
At the end of the game, Toadette leads a Papercraft Parade. The Papercrafts, which have Toadette, Mario, Luigi, Paper Mario, Starlow, Princess Peach, and Paper Peach on them, start in Sunbeam Plains, and soon enter Doop Doop Dunes, where they encounter and defeat a Papercraft Goomba. Nabbit runs past, and Megacrinkle Goomba appears and is defeated. The group enters Twinsy Tropics, where three Lakitus pass by, followed by rainbow trails. A Papercraft Spike is encountered and defeated. Nabbit runs by again, holding a melon and getting chased by a Yoshi. They enter Gloomy Woods, where a Papercraft Boo is encountered and defeated. A group of Fly Guys appears, but are chased away by Flutter, and are followed by Papercraft King Boo. The Papercraft enter Mount Brrr, where Nabbit runs past with the melon again, chased by a group of Yoshis. He trips, allowing the Yoshis to collect the melon. Papercraft Bowser Jr. appears and runs away, and is followed by Papercraft Kamek. The Papercrafts enter Bowser's Castle, defeating a group of Bullies, Mechakoopas, and a Broozer. Papercraft Bowser Jr. reappears and is defeated, followed by Papercraft Bowser. The group returns to Peach's Castle.[1]

Good news in Linden Lab land today, seems as if they finally shed themselves of another dead end anchor weight. Not that there is anything wrong with Desura, quite the contrary the company has grown into a respectable outlet for many independent game developers, however I never did quite understand the initial fit or lack there of into the lab's overall portfolio.
Never mind all that, it's in the past now, and with all the current enhancement's to the existing SecondLife platform materializing faster than I would have ever perdicted. Who knows what will happen next, mabye SL 2 and SL 1 will end up being able to merge after-all.

I used the square version of the
round paper coasters I used for the
Toy Soldier Gift Tag ...

round paper coasters I used for the
Toy Soldier Gift Tag ...
available here:
I used a trim paint roller to paint
the front, back, and sides of each coaster
with Red acrylic paint.
Cut small belt shapes with the Sizzix machine
from black paper.
(Crafty Girlfriend did this part;
if you're interested in making these,
I can get the sizing and die information for you)
Brush on Extreme Glitter (Black)
and apply tiny bling with tweezers and
jewel glue. For the
"boy" versions, we left off the bling.
Here's the fun part:
obviously, these needed a little
"something" for texture.
I decided to use textured snow.
My personal favorite is ... (drum roll please)
Glistening SNOW-TEXTM
Glittering Snow
by DecoArtTM
I tried other textured snows for this ...
believe me, this is the best.
It's your call.
Apply textured snow with a craft stick.
These can be personalized,
on the front if you're brave,
on the back if you aren't ... heh heh ...
Punch a hole with the ever-handy
Crop-o-Dile hole punch
and thread with a glistening elastic
or even a gingham print ribbon.
I just love Christmas!
I know it's over already; but in my opinion
it came and went too quickly.
Look for more of my "catch-up"
Christmas craft blog posts to follow ...
for now, my little cocktail is calling
me from the other room ...
"come drink me! my ice is

Spirometry is a common medical test that is conducted in order to detect whether your lungs are working properly. This is done by detecting the amount of air you can inhale and exhale along with the time taken to complete both of these procedures. Spirometry is useful to diagnose any underlying medical condition like asthma, Chronic Obtrusive Pulmonary Disease, persistent coughing or problem during breathing. If you are receiving treatment for chronic lung disorder, spirometry is also useful to check whether or not your lungs are responding to the specific kind of treatment.
Procedure: The process of spirometry involves the use a mouthpiece and a tube adjoined with a machine which displays the recorded results. Before the onset of the procedure, which generally takes place in a hospital, you will be prescribed by the doctor to wear comfortable clothing which will not restrict your normal breathing process and will be asked to have a light meal before the procedure. The procedure will be conducted while you are sitting.
Spirometry takes an estimated amount of 15 minutes to get over with. The nurse will put a clip on your nose in order to close your nostrils. After that, you have to take a deep breath and then breathe out as hard as possible on the tube for a few seconds. You have to make sure that there's no air leakage during this procedure by putting your lips tightly over the tube. In order to arrive at a stable result, you have to conduct the test three times at least. If the results are hugely diverse, then you have to take the test again. The highest result among the three tests is usually denoted as the ultimate test result.
Risks: Spirometry is generally a low-risk inducing procedure. But in some cases, it might cause loss of breath, moments after the procedure. Also, spirometry should not be conducted if the patient has recently had a heart attack or surgery of the eye, abdomen or chest. If you are suffering from vomiting tendencies and you have regular instances of blood in your cough, you should also avoid spirometry.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition, which primarily affects the lungs and persistence of this condition might lead to severe breathing problems and loss of lung function. If you have inherited two copies of the defective gene from your parents, you are likely to suffer from this disease. Cystic Fibrosis causes a buildup of thick mucus in your lungs and affects other organs such as the kidneys, pancreas and the intestines in your body.
It isn't very uncommon as one out of fifty people in Asia is a carrier of this disease. The disease gets its name from the cysts formed in the pancreas of the sufferer. However, this disease can be detected by testing the quantity of salt present in your sweat. Prenatal testing for Fibrosis is another method to test if your newborn is likely to contract a lung infection.
Complications faced due to cystic fibrosis include:
- Serious sinus infections
- Serious damage in lungs due to inflammation and incessant infection
- Malnutrition
- Complication in breaking down protein
- Respiratory tract contamination
If you observe one or more of the following symptoms, you might be suffering from Cystic Fibrosis:
- Salty-tasting skin
- Bowel obstruction caused due to meconium ileus (obstruction of the bowels)
- Mucus amiss in your alveoli
- Persistent coughing with phlegm discharge
- Shortness of breath while engaging in a physical task
- Stunted or measly growth despite healthy lifestyle habits
- Infertility in males
If you're suffering from cystic fibrosis, there isn't any particular treatment which is recommended due to the varying degrees of it found in people. However, consultation with a medical practitioner and an individualised treatment plan can help you minimise the risks and lead a better life.
Some therapies you can opt for are:
- Airway clearance: This therapy helps sift the thick layer of mucus around your organs. Some people have also chosen to use the inflatable vest which vibrates around your chest, thereby, thinning and loosening the layer of mucus.
- Inhaled medicines: Another breakthrough in the field of respiratory medicine, this method requires the patient to sniff a liquid consisting of mist, which is inhaled with the aid of a nebuliser. This method is known to be beneficial for opening airways.
- Pancreatic enzyme supplements: Along with multivitamins, these specially designed supplements are known to cater to your pancreas with the much-needed nutrients and they need to be consumed with every meal. Consult an Expert & get answers to your questions!
Asthma is an inflammatory disease, which affects the airways of your lungs (respiratory tract that pumps oxygen into the lungs). It is long term in nature. It is characterized by shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing. It occurs few times a day or few times a week depending on the person it affects. Sometimes it worsens during the night.
What triggers Asthma?
- Airborne particles such as dust mites, mold spores, pollen and cockroach waste.
- Infections in the respiratory system such as common cold.
- Cold air can also trigger asthma.
- Physical or outdoor activities which make you pant such as running, skipping, jogging and jumping can cause shortness of breath, thus triggering asthma.
- Pollutants and irritants in air such as smoke.
- Some medications can also trigger asthma.
- Stress and nervous attacks (panic attacks) also trigger asthma.
How to manage asthma better by changing your lifestyle:
- Try to avoid keeping animals in your house such as dogs, cats and rabbits. Many times animal fur, waste, urine and saliva contains particles which can cause allergic reactions and make you cough uncontrollably. This in turn triggers asthma attacks. If you have pets try keeping them away from your bedroom.
- Dust mites also cause allergies which trigger asthma. So wash your carpets, rugs, bed-linen and pillowcases in hot water.
- Bugs and insects such as cockroaches are not only unhygienic, but can also trigger asthma. Cockroach droppings near your bed, kitchen and food are dangerous and you should call an exterminator to get rid of these bugs.
- Sometimes, heavy fragrance also aggravates your respiratory tract and triggers shortness of breath. Avoid using heavy perfumes, deodorants and room fresheners.
- Pollution also triggers asthma. Dust particles come out from the vehicles and mix with the air. If this air is inhaled, it might trigger uncontrollable asthma. So try to cover your mouth with a cloth when you step out of your house.
Asthma can be very severe and can bring many hurdles in your day to day activities. Changing your lifestyle and certain habits can reduce asthma to a great extent. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Pulmonologist.

Preeclampsia is a disease mainly occurs in pregnant ladies. This disease characterized by high blood pressure and it also damages the other organs of the body. This Preeclampsia disease usually starts after 20-25 weeks of pregnancy in a woman whose blood pressure is in normal stage. Even for simple complications in blood pressure may be a sign of Preeclampsia. Left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious — even fatal — complications for both you and your baby. If you have preeclampsia, the only cure is delivery of your baby. If you're diagnosed with preeclampsia too early in your pregnancy to deliver your baby, you and your doctor face a challenging task. Your baby needs more time to mature, but you need to avoid putting yourself or your baby at risk of serious complications.
Sometimes Preeclampsia may develop without any symptoms. High blood pressure may develop slowly, but more commonly it has a sudden onset. Monitoring your blood.
Treatment: The main cure for preeclampsia is only delivery. You're at increased risk of seizures, placental abruption, stroke and possibly severe bleeding until your blood pressure decreases. Of course, if it's too early in your pregnancy, delivery may not be the best thing for your baby. If you're diagnosed with preeclampsia, your doctor will let you know how often you'll need to come in for prenatal visits — likely more frequently than what's typically recommended for pregnancy. You'll also need more-frequent blood tests, ultrasounds and nonstress tests than would be expected in an uncomplicated pregnancy. Possible treatment for preeclampsia may include: Medications to lower blood pressure, Corticosteroids, Anticonvulsant medications
Statistics: In India, the survey result of prepregnancy body mass index (BMI > 25) (OR = 11.27), history of chronic hypertension (OR = 8.65), history of diabetes (OR = 11.0), history of renal disease (OR = 7.98), family history of hypertension (High Blood Pressure) (OR = 5.4), history of pre-eclampsia in earlier pregnancy (PE) (OR = 9.63), and multiple pregnancy (OR = 4.85). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the prepregnancy BMI of >25 (OR = 7.56), history of chronic hypertension (OR = 6.69), history of diabetes (OR = 8.66), history of renal disease (OR = 5.6), family history of hypertension (OR = 5.48), and multiple pregnancy (OR = 5.73) are the significant risk factors of pre-eclampsia.

New York City's regulation that requires contractors to hire independent safety inspectors for job sites is holding up projects worth millions of dollars, contractors say. The problem: not enough inspectors to go around.
Architect Howard Zimmerman told the New York Post that the city's construction industry is in a boom cycle and projects have been halted because of a shortage of inspectors. He said that his firm has 20 projects worth millions on hold until safety inspectors can be made available.
Some in the construction industry are asking the city to change the site inspector requirement. Inspectors must be on site to check safety equipment for all buildings over 15 stories tall. The dearth of qualified inspectors has gotten so bad that two construction firms were recently hit with criminal charges for hiring hairdressers and cooks to pose as licensed professionals.
One proposal is to undo code changes created in 2008 that added the safety inspector requirement to restoration projects. Previously they were only needed on new construction.

"The idea that Labour MPs should connive with Tory opponents of House of Lords reform to block the bill is absurd (Report, 10 May). Labour has campaigned for reform for over 100 years and we should now seize the day to make it a reality. If instead Labour is tempted by short-termism to "give Clegg another bloody nose" it would represent the triumph of petty politics over radical principle."
Malcolm Wicks MP
Labour, Croydon North
This is an excellent sentiment - voting as to your opinion, much better than opposing everything for the sake of it. I hope Ed Miliband listens, our political system is too important to just be voting to try and make your opponent look bad and 'create a buzz'. What we need is a constructive opposition rather than one who take any chance they get to be destructive.
