So I've always had dreams that I was racing along some road, maybe all by myself or frantically trying to weave through dangerous traffic. I can't legally drive a car in real life because I still don't have my license so it is still my dream someday to be able to go anywhere I want without first having to ask someone for a ride (which would help with finding a job in far flung places). God, I just love writing poetry!
and leave this life afar.
and be one with the people.
while in my current position, the buffet table is very lentil.
Creativity unleashed, new places to explore.
if that key would open the door.


I have put this post together to provide you with a review and guide to setting up your own blog. You will find information about the best hosting service and blogging platform. This differs from the usual Bluehost posts that are often found in the blogging community. Although Bluehost is a valuable service, I have found InMotion to be a better fit for me and my blogging ventures.
InMotion is a great hosting service. Many bloggers use other blog/website hosting service, but I have found InMotion to be the easiest and most intuitive for use by beginners as well as highly skilled developers.
I started experimenting with website creation in 2009 in my first job. The startup company purchased the domain and hosting with the most popular service at the time. It was a hassle for me because, to be honest, I knew nothing about websites or the languages used to make them function. I knew that Google could provide me with a plethora of information and I could parse through it to find what I needed to know. Websites just appeared during a search and I was fine with that… Until I had to create a site from scratch. Essentially, this meant learning a foreign language outside of a classroom, prior to the existence of sites that teach you to code simply.
That was a long-winded way of telling you that I've been around the block with site hosting, development, and design. I've tried the most popular services and there were quite a few upsides. However, customer service wasn't the best and if I happened to make a mistake that I wasn't sure how to fix they weren't always there to help me in a timely way. When you're creating a business, you don't have much time to wait around each time you have a slight mishap.
In 2013, I started working for a web development company. It was the first time I blogged for a company and I came to enjoy it quite a bit. During my time there I decided to experiment with starting my own blog. Between then and now, I have put together multiple sites and worked with many designers and developers. In that time, I developed favorite services including InMotion Hosting for website hosting and domain purchasing, as well as WordPress as a blogging platform.
The first few steps in the blogging process have to do with setup. After that, all you have to do is find your writing groove. Utilize the step-by-step guide below to get your blog up and running so that you can start making money and sharing with the world!
As you can see, there are a few options when it comes to website hosting plans. If it is your first blog and you are unsure of your audience, I suggest choosing the Launch or Power hosting plan. You can change your hosting plan if necessary, as time goes on. When purchasing web hosting through InMotion, your domain is free!
It's not easy to decide on a name for your blog. The domain names that seem perfect and most succinct are often taken, but I'm not telling you not to try. If you can get your hands on a great domain that everyone will recognize, go for it. Make sure you like the name you're purchasing!
Keep in mind that you can change the domain name in the future, but that can disrupt your blog progression due to a failure of name recognition.
This is pertinent to the success of your blog. There are many platforms to use for blogging, but WordPress is consistently updated and easy to setup for consistent use.
After you have installed WordPress through cPanel using Softaculous, login to your WordPress portal and select a theme. You will have an unbelievable amount of choices! We're biased here at Life, Love & Debt–we use the Anissa Theme from AlienWP. For portfolio and professional business sites, Divi Theme by Elegant Themes is a good option. Divi Theme has a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) feature, which you might love if you are extremely visual. The theme you choose depends on the style of blog you want and you can preview themes before you choose to use them on your site.
There you have it! You have just created your new WordPress blog with InMotion!
InMotion has a great Launch Assist feature! You can contact them if you have any questions specific to your website launch. You can also chat with departments ranging from tech support to customer service to solve any issues you might have as you work towards blogging success!
What is your favorite feature from InMotion Hosting? What do you love about WordPress?


Our island has been stunned and shocked to hear that 27 of the 31 Marines who died in the helicopter crash in Iraq yesterday came from our Marine base in Kaneohe, located on this island of Oahu.
The military is a big part of our lives and our churches here in Hawaii, so when something like this tragic event happens we all feel the pain, but nothing like the immediate families involved. Families are being notified and counseling places are being put into place. Tears flow quickly when we think of how many of our brave young men and women have died in this war in which the people we are trying to "save" could care less about our people's safety.
Please join us here in praying for these families and pray also that somehow something will happen that will allow our soldiers to come home sooner than projected. The only consolation is that we have a loving God Who can give comfort when one turns to Him.

Plot : The First 5 to 10 Minutes
Effective screenwriting involves a certain degree of promiscuity fuelled by an unerring obsession to seduce and be seduced. The initial dalliances with character and story might not take place on a computer screen, but at some stage that becomes the metaphorical boudoir in which a lot of the creative energies are developed and exchanged. When it comes to producing a compelling set of relationships, The first evidence of a compelling relationship or set of relationships should occur as early as possible in the script, hooking in the audience with a collection of images and actions that is conventionally referred to as "the set-up".
The setup is simply the situation, person, entity, institution, or event that gives provide hints about the nature of the of the story world and what the protagonist will ultimately have to contend with in striving to achieve his/her objective or goal.
Take for instance, The Verdict. It is during the set-up we meet the protagonist, the lawyer, Frank Galvin, who plays a desultory game of pinball whilst sipping what's left of a beer. The outside world through the windows of the bar is cold, grey, and Galvin plays with a complete absence of enjoyment and enthusiasm. He is in fact a layer, down on his luck – a virtual ambulance chaser with a bleak past and a seemingly bleaker future.
Every screen story begins with plot, the course by which the characters – including the writer – navigate the action of the story that is being dramatised. Plot is what we see – it is the structure by which we move from one part of the story to the next.
The thing about structure is that over-plotting will stagnate your creativity and spontaneity, whilst lack of it might very well create confusion. The way to find the middle ground is to follow the characters. It is their journey, a journey in which the writer and audience and tribe have an interest to be sure, but not to the degree that their hopes, expectations and fears usurp the convictions, values and needs of the dramatis personae.
With that said, the set-up generally occurs during the first three minutes or three percent of a script. The set-up allows the audience to get their bearings as they develop a feel for the tone, setting, and pace of the story. It occurs in many forms, but some common ones are:
Back story – think John Carpenter's The Fog, When A Stranger Calls (1979), Vertical Limit
Present-Life Problem – Inner or Outer conflict. For example, the abusive husband in Sleeping With The Enemy
A hook – intense, dynamic action or situation
Theme – The pimp's opening monologue in Hustle and Flow, and the intro to Magnolia
Impending Danger – War Of The Worlds, Arachnophobia, The Conversation
A question to be answered/mystery to be solved as in Breakdown, Nature of the Beast
Like a first date, the set-up will get you through the door with your audience. Intrigue them enough and they will stick around…for a bit. Like the props used in a first date, the set-up will get you through the door, but a good story will keep you there.

Q: The singular points and residues of $\sin(\frac 1 z)$ I met a question asking all the singular points and corresponding residues of
$$ \sin \frac 1 z  $$
My understanding is that
$$\sin \frac 1 z=\frac 1 z-\frac 1{3!z^3}+\frac 1 {5!z^5}+... $$
Thus there is only one singular point which is 0 and residue is 1.
Am I correct?

A: Possible singular points are $(0)$
at $z=0, Sin(\frac{1}{0}=\infty)$ So there is a singularity at 0
Test fot removable singularity
$$Lim_{z \rightarrow 0}(z-0)sin(\frac{1}{z})= 1 \neq 0$$ So this is not a removable singularity
Test for a Pole
It cannot be a pole too Why?(see defn)
Hence it is a essential singularity with residue $1$, Since coeff of $\frac{1}{z}$

UN: More than quarter-million Rohingya forced into Bangladesh

About 270,000 Rohingya have sought refuge in Bangladesh over the past two weeks, the UN refugee agency said 30,000 non-Muslims have also been displaced - an 'alarming' jump in...

About 270,000 Rohingya have sought refuge in Bangladesh over the past two weeks, the UN refugee agency said on Friday, announcing a dramatic jump in numbers fleeing violence in neighbouring Myanmar's Rakhine State.
A rights group said satellite images showed about 450 buildings had been burned in a Myanmar border town largely inhabited by Rohingya, as part of what the Muslim minority refugees say is a concerted effort to expel them.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees said the estimated number of Rohingya who fled to Bangladesh since violence erupted in Myanmar on 25 August had risen from 164,000 on Thursday after aid workers found big groups in border areas.
"We have identified more people in different areas that we were not aware of," said Vivian Tan, a spokeswoman for UNHCR, adding that the number was an estimate and there could be some double-counting.
"The numbers are so alarming – it really means that we have to step up our response and that the situation in Myanmar has to be addressed urgently."
The latest flight of Rohingya began two weeks ago after Rohingya insurgents attacked security force posts in Myanmar's Rakhine. That triggered an army counteroffensive in which at least 400 people were killed.
The United States, a main backer of Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government that came to power in Myanmar last year, said it saw shortcomings on the part of Myanmar security forces and the government in dealing with the situation.
Patrick Murphy, US deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asia, said Washington was calling in talks with Myanmar's military and civilian leaders for urgent restoration of access to Rakhine State for humanitarian assistance and journalists.
He said the security forces must respond responsibly to attacks.
Rights groups held a briefing for UN Security Council diplomats on Friday on the Myanmar violence. Russia and China did not send any diplomats, according to people at the meeting. Myanmar has said it is was counting on China and Russia to protect it from any Security Council censure.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres spoke with Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi by phone on Wednesday and reiterated his concern about the situation in Rakhine State, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told Reuters on Friday.
The wave of refugees, many sick or wounded, has strained the resources of aid agencies and communities already helping hundreds of thousands displaced by previous waves of violence in Myanmar.
Many have no shelter, and aid agencies are racing to provide clean water, sanitation and food.
Buddhist-majority Myanmar says its security forces are fighting a legitimate campaign against "terrorists" it blames for burning homes and civilian deaths.
It says about 30,000 non-Muslims have been displaced.
The 1.1 million Rohingya living in Myanmar have long complained of persecution. They are denied citizenship and regarded as illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
There is limited access to the north of Rakhine State and few if any independent witnesses, raising fears that a humanitarian crisis may be unfolding among Rohingya still there.
Bangladesh has proposed creating "safe zones" run by aid groups for Rohingya in Myanmar, but it would seem the plan is unlikely to be accepted there.
Human Rights Watch said satellite images taken last Saturday showed hundreds of burned buildings in Maungdaw, a district capital in Rakhine State, in areas primarily inhabited by Rohingya.
"If safety cannot even be found in area capitals, then no place may be safe," said Phil Robertson, the group's deputy Asia director.
A Myanmar journalist in the north of the state said he had reports from residents of an area called Rathedaung that six villages there had been torched and that there had also been shooting in the area.
Critics have accused Suu Kyi of not speaking out for the Rohingya and some have called for the Nobel Peace Prize she won in 1991 as a champion of democracy to be revoked.
Protests against the treatment of the Rohingya have been held in several countries, including Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia. Others were held outside Myanmar's embassies in Tokyo and Manila.

We woke up the next morning in Krasnoyarsk, wondering if we should have gone to Koloradski Papa's the night before, and climbed on the cycles to wheel out in search of breakfast.
This morning we ended up finding it not far from the market where we had purchased our jackets, at very cheap people's cafeteria-type restaurant.
I loaded up my tray with a few salads and some stuffed meat pies, Scott loaded his with a giant flaky Somsa, a plate of Gretchka and a cheese covered pork chop, and we headed to the register.
A few rubles later we were digging in to some real down home Siberian fare, eating hungrily under the watchful eye of none of other than Lenin himself.
Finished with our meal, we headed out, and it was only about a block away that I realized I'd left my backpack in the restaurant. I sprinted back to grab it, considering it contained my computer, camera and the like, and finding that, once again, my enchanted backpack refused to disappear. The owner of the restaurant was waiting with it in his arms, smiling at me. "I thought you would return soon," he said handing the thing to me and grinning.
I hustled to catch up with Scott who was busy photographing more fantastic Russian graffiti, this one no doubt talking about the massive privatization of previously public assets that took place during Glasnost and the fall of the Soviet Union.
We headed back to the 31B-Baker-street-style traveler's coffee, and worked furiously on correspondence for the next few hours before the call of the open road started calling our names and we returned to street level.
Our plan, if we could harness enough daylight still, was to ride all the way out to the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Station. It was a particularly famous power station in Russia, playing a starring role on the 10 Ruble note.
So we headed back onto that river-side path, figuring that if we followed it far enough up river, we would undoubtedly eventually reach the dam. And so we rode on, past some magnificent railway bridges, eventually rejoining traffic on a smaller side road, which seemed to be leading us into a heavy industrial sector of town.
Try as we might, we couldn't seem to keep near the river. The road just kept turning away and heading up hill. If we took the road which kept us closest to the water, we continually ended up in this rotting wooden village filled with barking dogs and very hard to traverse steep gravel roads. We tried once to find a passage through that village, and giving up when the road that we were on petered out into garden plots and guard dogs, we headed back down, teeth rattling in our skulls as we went over giant stones and potholes.
We tried another road which led us into a giant freight rail yard. This seemed promising, but soon that road too petered out. We spotted a group of pedestrians heading up a set of rusting metal stairs and decided to follow suit.
The view from the stairs was magnificent, showing that Krasnoyask was no small rail hub itself, but unfortunately, the path that lead from the top of the stairs, through the children's playground and a small hospital, dumped us back out into that rotting village.
So we tried again to make it through the village, with similarly rotten results. Just as we were turning back, we spotted a local gentleman walking up the other way, and we took out a 10 ruble note to use as an illustration in our request for directions.
He laughed. He knew exactly what we were looking for. "but it's too far!" he said. We'd heard that before, and laughed it off, pushing him for the directions.
So he shrugged and explained to us how to get there. Turns out we needed to go back into the city, and catch a bridge across the river, then proceed along the other side in search of the dam. It's a 30 or 40 km ride there, he said in a far away and skeptical tone. Fair enough, we thought, and with it already being nearly, four PM, set off at a new fierce pace.
You may think us mad, dear reader, but you must remember that up here in Siberia, during the summer the sun does not set until 10:30 or so, so despite the fact that it was nearly 4pm, we could count on another 6 hours of good light. This just might be doable, if his estimates were a bit high, and if we hustled.
So off we went, pounding back down the hill, across the access road to the village and back onto the riverside bike path. We were flying.
We pulled off the bike path when we spotted the first bridge that was not for rail only, and tore across it too.
Not far into the communities on the other side of the river, we realized we were starving and pulled over at a small Produkti to purchase a couple of creamy pastries, and some very salty smoked string cheese.
We then we laid back into it and wheeled on hard, sticking to the riverside. This was our mistake again… not the wheeling hard, but the sticking to the riverside. We should have stuck to the big roads. For once again, we found our journey petering out into a dead end. I headed over to a kiosk to consult the women who were standing and sitting around it, discussing matters to complex for me to effectively evesdrop on.
They explained that we needed to go back, almost all the way to the bridge and get on the main highway. Shucks.
So we did, taking a few shortcuts through Siberian villages, and sprinting across a set of train tracks, holding the Speed TRs over our shoulders.
Then we were on the road, and everything felt right. Unfortunately, the road was quite busy and had absolutely no shoulder. We tried riding on the sidewalk, but the sidewalk was so degraded that it was hard to ride fast.
So we eventually just got onto the highway and stated riding as fast as we could.
We rode hard and fast, but it was harrowing. Cars and trucks would whip by way too close to us, and all the while the sun was falling and the temperature was dropping. After riding for an hour or so more, when we reached the top of a hill, we decided to question an Azerbaijani watermelon merchant there as to how much farther it would be to get to the dam. At first he told us it was hundreds of kilometers, which was obviously hogwash, but when we were not buying it, he took out his mobile phone and called his wife.
"15 kilometers more." He said, apologizing for his misrepresentation. We looked at our watches, and up at the sun, and, perhaps in a moment of weakness, decided to head back empty handed.
As so we did, continuing to pound through the Taiga on our Speed TRs, doing our best to keep from eating bugs, and now free of our time constraints, calling waypoints whenever we spotted something amazing.
Take this Giant hidden Krasnoyarsk sign, so overgrown it was almost invisible from the road.
From there we wheeled back into the city, and being rich with time, we decided to wheel past the bridge we'd taken across to explore this side of the river more fully.
The sun was getting closer to setting, it being about 9pm as we passed by this hydrofoil boat turned restaurant.
Not long after the hydrofoil, we found the road coming to an abrupt end at a tattered wire fence. The fence was mostly broken and people seemed to obviously be using the space behind it as a thoroughfare, so we headed in, wandering up a large concrete slab to find ourselves on a new path, leading out onto a peninsula which jutted into a lake surrounded by new and futuristic apartment buildings.
As we rode along this path, we stumbled upon an outdoor fashion photo shoot, where a young model was posing in a very short black dress, next to a tree, with these amazing orange buildings in the background.
And then we were back at the Hotel Sibir. What a wheel it had been. Dam or no Dam.
We decided to celebrate that night by heading to our Siberian Bureau's favorite restaurant in Krasnoyarsk, a Ukrainian in the center of town.
The specialty of the place was cold porkfat. And it was delicious. We had ordered a large plate which came out with mustard and horseradish. The pig fat was eaten with slices of tangy deep black bread, and often played the roll as a chaser for a shot of vodka.
In addition to the pork fat, we got a large beef salad, which contained the first lettuce we'd had in some time.
Our final dish was a kind of puff pasty soup: a savory beef stew with essentially a pie crust baked over the top of the stone pot it was served in.
All the food was delicious… AsiaWheeling 3.0 will have to include the Ukraine.

During the sixth and fifth centuries BC, the Etruscans, who lived north of Rome, increasingly imported Athenian ceramics decorated with scenes of Greek mythology, religion, and daily life. Made of fine, iron-rich clay that fired orange, decorated with a rich black gloss, and sometimes embellished with white and purple-red details, the ceramic vessels produced in Athens were the finest of Classical antiquity.
Etruscan artists, no doubt eager to capitalize on the high demand for Greek vases, and perhaps also hoping to attract customers unable to afford the imported wares, set up a workshop, probably at Vulci, to produce facsimiles of the Athenian vases. This vessel's attenuated proportions and symmetrical profile create an especially elegant shape that belies the somewhat coarse texture of the local Etruscan clay from which it is made. The clay's poor quality also stymied attempts to replicate the highly refined surface finishes of Athenian vases. Nevertheless, the painter of this vase skillfully composed his scenes within trapezoidal picture fields bounded above by a decorative pattern of interlacing lotus buds and dots and along its sides by a single line. On the front, a hound looks back at a horse and hunter, while a stag and hare flee for their lives on the back.

Q: Xdoclet @spring.bean not generating configuration file properly I'm stuck using Spring 2.0.8 at the moment (still awaiting sign-off on the upgrade) as I cannot use annotations I though I would use xdoclet to generate the beans config file for a large number of beans I will be writing in the future.
However, when I run my ant target it creates the xml file but it does not contain any bean tags.
My ant script looks like this:
<taskdef name="springdoclet" classname="xdoclet.modules.spring.SpringDocletTask">
    <classpath refid="springdoclet.classpath"/>
</taskdef>

<taskdef name="doclet" classname="xdoclet.DocletTask">
    <classpath refid="springdoclet.classpath"/>
</taskdef>

<target name="generate-spring-wiring">
    <springdoclet destdir="${resource.dir}" excludedtags="@version,@author,@todo">
        <fileset dir="${global.src.dir}"/>
        <springxml destinationfile="spring-wiring.xml"/>
    </springdoclet>

</target>

The resulting xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC
"-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans
default-autowire="no"
default-lazy-init="false"
default-dependency-check="none"
>

<!--
 To include additional bean definitions for Spring in the generated
 application context file, add a file to your XDoclet merge directory
  called spring-beans.xml that contains the <bean></bean> markup.
-->

</beans>

As you can see no beans have been set up.
My bean classes all inherit from a parent class which is in the same source directory. The MasterBean has been set up as follows:
/**
 *
 *@spring.bean id="master"
 */
 abstract public class Master implements Rule {

 ..
 ..
 }

And a sample child class (in the same package is set up as follows:
/**
*
* @spring.bean id="G27"
*/
public class Global27_IncorrectFormTypeForCA extends Master {

Is this something to do with the fact that my classes extend a superclass? Or am I simply setting it up incorrectly. The documentation on this is virtually non-existent so any help would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks

A: I had some problems with XDoclet and the fileset subtask, if I set the dir attribute to deep (like src/java/my/pacakge/some/package) it wouldn't work, setting it to src/java worked fine.
I know XDoclet can generate Spring beans from classes with a superclass. All my project's beans extend some other class, but their superclass is not bean itself, i.e. no @spring.bean and they are all generated correctly. I am not sure if that's a problem, but since your Master class is abstract, does it need to be defined as a Spring bean? Spring does have the concept of an abstract bean, but it is not same as an abstract Java class.

Insurance Article § 20-601, et seq.
There is a strict 180 day deadline to make a MAIF UCJ claim. There are some exceptions (for example, a victim must provide notice within 30 days of a liability carrier's notice of disclaimer), but failure to make the claim could leave auto accident victims without any recourse.
As indicated, MAIF doesn't like to settle these claims. In the majority of cases, victims will have no choice but to file a lawsuit. Where the negligent driver is known, the lawsuit should be against that driver. Sending a copy to the MAIF adjuster will allow MAIF to come into the lawsuit.
If the negligent driver is unknown (for instance, in a hit-and-run accident), the victim can file a lawsuit against MAIF directly if they can show that they used reasonable efforts to identify the negligent driver, and were unsuccessful. MAIF is usually of the opinion that "reasonable efforts" include moving heaven and earth. I think most judges interpret reasonable to mean reasonable.
If you have been injured in a hit-and-run auto accident or the negligent driver did not have any insurance, you may have a claim against MAIF. Many lawyers don't accept these types of MAIF claims because they are more difficult, and have strict notice requirements (MAIF must receive a specific notice within 180 days of the accident.

Author, Visionary, Urban Fiction's Mogul In the Making by Eboyne' Jackson
Relentless Aaron Inks it up with 50 Cent,
Signs Two Major Motion Picture Deals & Continues to Build Upon His Literary Legacy
By: Eboyne' Jackson
His past life is a mirror image of the groping urban fiction novels he conjures from the crevices of his ingenious mind. 43 year-old DeWitt Gilmore, also known as Relentless Aaron, is a literary aristocrat who has experienced and overcome more adversaries than many can fathom; from being a well-respected television producer, magazine publisher, and nightclub developer, to becoming one of "America's Most Wanted," and serving seven years in prison for his hand in a major check cashing scheme. Determined not to become a statistic, Relentless left his seven-year prison sentence with ambition as his ammunition, along with thirty manuscripts in his possession. With those thirty manuscripts, Relentless went on to ink a 6-figure 14-book deal, and has capitulated urban fiction to its greatest height, selling well over 200,000 novels since November 2003. Urban fiction has received a throne among other literary genres, and many accredit Relentless Aaron as being one of the main contributors to this dynamic feat.
For Relentless, success was inevitable, despite his tumultuous childhood, and past run-in with the law. "I grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. Rebellion was my means of expression," Relentless reflects. "As a child I was naturally curious, naturally mischievous. My parents didn't have a heavy-handed grip. Most of the time I did what I wanted, but then again there would be repercussions–whippings from mom and or dad," he laughs.
The freedom Relentless was awarded as an adolescent enabled him the opportunity to cultivate his insurgence despite a sports regime, (baseball was his favorite sport,) as he found pleasure in vandalism and stealing bikes.
"It wasn't until I turned seventeen that I found myself at a crossroads for the first time. I went to boot camp," Relentless says. "A recruiter there made a huge impact on my life. The training was intense, very physical. I was fighting men twice my size. When I came out of boot camp alive, I felt like I had won a medal."
In his later years, Relentless was esteemed among many prominent business professionals and celebrities, as his father was the owner of an immensely popular strip club in the city. Endorsed by the mafia, and celebrated as being one of the most respected nightclub developers, television producers, and magazine publishers, all seemed right in Relentless Aaron's world.
"I was producing a popular entertainment television show similar to BET, it was a self-contained show," Relentless reminisces. "The show featured many up-and-coming artists at the time such as Mary J., and Brian McKnight. It was a huge hit, and was syndicated in more than 2 million homes." Relentless advanced his entrepreneurial skills when he also formed a magazine in conjunction with the show, entitled: "Superstar," a free entertainment publication that was distributed through out the city quarterly.
Aggravation of the law came into play when Relentless found himself in serious debt due to his ambitious magazine venture. He became involved in an elaborate check-cashing scheme as a result of his financial turmoil. Residing in an intricate 25-bedroom home in New Rochelle, New York, (a house Relentless cites as a "lucky" purchase found at a bargain because of his connection with the owner,) aroused the FBI's curiosity for further investigation. Unexpectedly, a 40-armed militia of FBI agents and local policeman raided the entrepreneur's home.
"Here I was living in this huge house," Relentless scoffs. "To the Feds I was a criminal mastermind, the secret service was investigating me. I was involved in a credit fraud," he admits.
The media had a field day when the FBI found a letter in Relentless' home that was written years ago as a memoir for his first fiction story. The letter was about exhorting $2 million dollars from authorities to evade the poisoning of consumer Tylenol capsules. "The letter was a joke," Relentless insists. "I went through lie detector tests regarding that, and was sentenced to prison in 1996 for seven years due to the credit scam."
While prison cells promised cold isolation and boredom, Relentless found solace in writing fiction stories from his prospective, a street prospective. His stories were filled with violence, sex, and illegal activity, and soon became a magnet of attraction for his fellow in mates.
Relentless shares, "Other inmates couldn't believe my work, they would literally stand in line to read one of my stories. Mind you at the time, they were hand-written stories," he laughs. "Every one thought my stories were hot."
Even Jay-Z's cousin, Emory Jones, (whom Jay sends a shout out to in his song, "Do You Wanna Ride,") sealed Relentless' literary credibility. "Emory believed in my writing ability. He said I was the Michael Jordan of urban fiction," he reflects. "In jail, he would literally spend half of his commissary me; he'd hit me up with whatever I needed—books, notebooks, pens. Like he believed in Jay, he believed in me."
In prison, one story quickly became a catalyst for thirty completed manuscripts. In 2003, after fulfilling his seven-year term, Relentless was awarded freedom from bondage, and moved back to New Rochelle, New York. He embarked on a new beginning with literature as his means of survival.
"I was determined to find a job and get out of the half-way house. I was determined to make something out of myself," he says matter-of-factly. "I worked in an office and used it to my advantage. I would format books and provide graphic services. I provided this service for a client, and ended up also laying out my first book for retail with a small print company."
So the story goes: The very same day Relentless was released from the half –way house, he lined up on 125th Street in Manhattan, with an unabashed tenacity. His knapsack was filled to the brim with 50 copies of his first urban fiction thriller, Push, a tale about a man named Reginald "Push" Jackson, who entangles himself in the fast life, sells drugs, does time, and with the best intentions, winds up getting romanced by the streets all over again.
He charged $15 per book, and returned home with an empty knapsack, and went on to sell another additional 300 copies of the novel on the streets in less than a week. Relentless continued to hustle his novels on the streets, in small bookstores, and on the Internet, determined to make himself a household name.
With "relentless" determination, he was approached by St. Martin's Press, one of the most notable publishing houses. He brought a few of his titles: Topless, Push, and Platinum Dolls. "I told the publisher that I wanted to make history. I told them that I wanted to make 100 million dollars. 100 million based on book sales and movie deals, my novels were presented as a package deal."
Relentless' demands were proclaimed as being "out of reach" by the publishing house. "I left the books, and days later, I received a call back from St. Martin's Press, offering me a six figure deal."
Turning his first 4-book contract into a 14-book mass market deal, Relentless is one of the only authors afforded the opportunity to market his literature as he pleases, as his books fly off the shelves of national bookstore retailers. To this day, Relentless takes pride in walking the streets with his books in tow, announcing his identity to the world.
"I know no limitations," Relentless says with pride. "I mean no disrespect to the publishers. For me it's all about branding, so I continue to market my brand."
Since landing his lucrative deal with St. Martin's Press seven years ago, Relentless has written and released 33 novels, and has appeared on ABC World News, Ed Gordon for NPR News, as well as featured in the New York Times, and Ebony Magazine, among many other media outlets. With all of his media ties, Relentless Aaron has accumulated well over 2 billion impressions over the past 4 years! He is also currently represented by Violator Management, one the world's most prominent multi-media entertainment corporations, home to Diddy, 50 cent, Busta Rhymes, and LL Cool J., among others.
It doesn't stop there.
"Being down with Violator Management has been invaluable to me," Relentless shares. "My agent landed the book deal for me with 50 Cent's G-Unit Books/ Simon & Schuster," he says gratefully. "It's all about increasing marketability!"
Relentless Aaron is more than an author; he's a visionary. Recently, he signed two major motion picture deals for his bestsellers, Push, (directed by prominent actor, Bill Duke,) and the Last Kingpin.
Relentless is a "boss man" in his own right, as he is the CEO of Relentless Content, a multi-faceted book publishing company that focuses on book promotion, ghost writing, and Internet production. In addition, Relentless is the CEO/Program Director of Relentless Networks, an Internet-TV Broadcast studio, affiliated with Violator T.V. Relentless Networks fathers 40 channels such as Gospel T.V., and Top Model T.V.; offering diverse programming ranging from lifestyle, sports, entertainment.
Between hosting the Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show in Atlanta every year, to his various speaking engagements encouraging reading and literacy, Relentless Aaron is a man of ambition with very little time to break away from building his empire. He is also currently penning his final title for St. Martin's Press, tentatively titled: Thicker Than Love, to be released sometime fall-09.
"Yes, I live an amazing life," Relentless admits. "I am a work horse, every day is a hustle," he laughs. "I swear one of these days, I am going to plan a getaway and get a Swedish message and not think about business!"
In Relentless' well of knowledge, he asserts, "that mastering one's craft is the key to success." He says with conviction, "Whether you are an entrepreneur or a shoe polisher, you better be the best CEO or shoe polisher that ever lived. Stay in your lane, never perpetrate to be a hummingbird if you're a vulture and vice versa. Know yourself. Your work ethic and discipline will bring forth recognition."
"I mean, take it from me; look how far I've come," Relentless laughs. "When I received my first 4-book deal I was knocking at the door, now I kick the door down!"

Arcane Myths
Ver: The Myth of the Trickster
by Auburn
This post is not yet written, but here is some related material:
The spiritual experience of Se in a person I call Ver, as distinct from Se the information metabolism process.
"[He is] Admired, Loved, venerated for his merits and virtues, he is represented as thievish, deceitful, parricidal, incestuous, and cannibalistic. The malicious practical joker is deceived by just about anybody; the inventor of ingenious stratagems is presented as an idiot; the master of magical power is sometimes powerless to extricate himself from quandaries." (p.67 Hynes and Doty). The trickster seems to be a comedy of opposites. For every good aspect of his persona there is an equal and opposite aspect. In religious stories his role is very diverse. He is the breaker of taboos.
schoolworkhelper.net/carl-jungs-archetype-the-trickster/
The trickster is a lot like the Puer/Puella Aeternus. Indeed, a different iteration of it. Young, impetuous and unrestrained. But is more tricksy, crafty and also a joker/jester. Unlike the Puer who lives in a magical world of their own imagination, the trickster's ability to soar/fly is not so easy to simulate mentally. It has to attain this liberty in some tangible avenue, and so it plays games and leverages the environment to fully optimize his/her experience of freedom/fun. This is where the opportunistic reputation of Se comes into play.
The trickster will often act dumb, or appear less competent than it really is, in order to be underestimated. It plays just as freely as Ne plays, but with the physical world and its effects. It seeking an amped experience and is slippery whenever anything seems to want to contain its activity. The impetuous element of Pe manifests in Ver as a drive to remove the physical restraints placed upon it by Order. It undoes order, and this is easy enough to see. From graffiti, to gambling, to drinking, to pranks or practical jokes, to piercings/tattoos/gauges (now mainstream but previously shunned) – it may delight a little in its unconventional activities. Shock-value can be a motivator for the trickster, both in what it says and does.
And while all this may seem like an elaborate scheme, the trickster has little or no long-term vision in mind. It simply acts in the moment according to what will give it the freedom it wants right then and there. On the more positive side of things, however, the trickster is a channel into life-energy like the Puer. A source of fun, vitality, enjoyment and invigoration.
Every Se-lead has a bit of a trickster inside of them; a tendency to play/banter, outfox others and especially to flip off "the Man" (father archetype). And that's why Ver is highly entertaining, daring and sexy in its provocative thrillseeking. It draws attention/audiences to see what it'll do next because it's so unpredictable.

What a fun packed six weeks we have coming up! Our new topic is called Buckets and Spades and our learning is focused around science, history and art and design. Scroll down for an overview of the curriculum content we will be covering for each of these subjects.
Our learning in science is all about materials. We will look at different types of materials and their properties, using scientific vocabulary to describe these and extend this knowledge to include the exploration of the suitability of materials for different purposes. Thank you for sending in different beach items to help with our class display.
On the 28th June we have a booked a seaside workshop with a history specialist who will take the children back in time to learn all about seaside holidays of the past. Elm Class will have the opportunity to handle artefacts and engage in role play and drama to make their learning more memorable.
The children will review works by artists inspired and motivated by the seaside, before planning and creating their own paper based collage. Then they'll design and create a textiles based collage, using natural dyes to colour fabric and learn how to manipulate fabrics to achieve different effects, such as weaving and plaiting. Thank you for sending in magazines and other collage items.
The theme for this half term is Wind in the Willows and the lead subjects (in addition to maths and English) are: science; geography; design and technology and music.
We started this term by writing our farm stories which we planned before Easter. We then spent a couple of weeks preparing for and carrying out the Year 2 SATs tests and started looking at the classic poem The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear. Week 5 was Enterprise Week. Oh what fun we had! The children learnt how to create an advert which we posted on Facebook and a jingle too, which we performed after school, by the school gates. During the last week of term we are continuing our poetry unit with the overall aim of learning The Owl and the Pussycat off by heart, ready to perform to the rest of the school after the half term holiday.
Reading accurately words of two or more syllables that contain alternative sounds for graphemes, e.g. shoulder, roundabout, grouping.
Listening to a range of texts at a level beyond that at which they can read independently, including classic poetry.
Reading longer and less familiar texts independently.
Reading a range of non-fiction texts including recounts.
Discussing how specific information is organised within a non-fiction text.
Recognising use of repetitive language within a text or poem.
Making inferences about characters and events using evidence from the text, e.g. what is a character thinking, saying and feeling?
Using apostrophes for contracted forms, e.g. don't, can't, wouldn't, you're, I'll.
Using past tense for recounts.
Selecting, generating and effectively using nouns.
Adding suffixes -ness and -er to create nouns, e.g. happiness, sadness, teacher, baker.
Planning and discussing what to write about, e.g. story mapping, collecting new vocabulary, key words and ideas.
Writing about real and fictional events.
Writing simple poems based on models.
Evaluating their writing with adults and peers.
Reading aloud their writing with intonation to make the meaning clear.
In maths we have deepened our understanding about the following: position and direction; fractions; number, place value and statistics and capacity, volume and time. We have covered many different objectives within each area. At this time of year the main aim is to ensure the children are fluent in the basics by consolidating their understanding and trying to focus on bridging any gaps in their learning, as well as helping them achieve depth of understanding through a variety of problem solving and reasoning challenges.
We will continue to practise basic number skills, such as: number bonds within 10 and 20 (numbers that add together to make totals within 10 or 20), doubles and halves (linking to multiplying by 2 and dividing by 2 respectively), counting in steps of 3 and the 2x, 5x and 10x tables. These basic skills are critical so please try to practise them at home too.
The children have continued to care for and observe the plants they planted last term. The focus this term is animals. The children enjoyed their nature walk, which helped them to think about different animals and plants in their habitats. They have also compared animal habitats, looked at simple animal food chains and life cycles.

UPDATED: Pressure mounts on Setanta as Premier League sets Friday deadline
English Premier League invites bids for rights on 46 games currently allocated to Setanta, gives the troubled Irish broadcaster until Friday to come up with the £30m it reportedly owes
It's reported that Setanta owes £35m to the Premier League, which has agreed to allow Setanta to pay the money in tranches. Last Friday Setanta paid the first instalment of £10m and another £10m has to be paid by this Friday, June 19th, if the company wants to avoid falling into administration.
The Premier League says that if Setanta comes up with the cash by Friday all bids for the TV rights will be off; if not, the rights will be sold to the highest bidder next Monday.
UPDATE 15/06/09 12.00: Latest reports suggest Endemol, the company behind Big Brother, is in talks to take a stake of up to 49% in Setanta. The offer is understood to be subject to other investors also coming on board, but the amount the company is proposing to pay for the stake is not known.
FIRST POSTED 12/06/09 US investor Len Blavatnik is offering £20m for a 51 per cent stake in troubled Irish TV broadcaster Setanta, according to the BBC.
Access Industries, a private company owned by Mr Blavatnik, said it had submitted a proposal to the Setanta board but gave no further details.
In a statement Access Industries said: "The Access proposal is subject to a number of preconditions being met. Access believes that this proposal would secure the future of the broadcaster for customers, football and employees."
Mr Blavatnik, who is also involved with Top-up TV on Freeview, made the bulk of his fortune from heavy industry. He emigrated to the US from the former Soviet Union in 1978 when he was 21, and has an estimated fortune of $11bn, according to Forbes magazine.
The Setanta board is meeting today, June 12th, and hopes a deal could be finalised in the next 72 hours.
The sports broadcaster is seeking an extra £50m in funding to avoid going into administration, and on Wednesday the company stopped taking on new customers as it struggled to secure its future.
It had been thought Disney-owned sports network ESPN might buy Setanta, but yesterday ESPN denied the speculation, and BSkyB also said it had no interest in bailing out the strugglng broadcaster.

Distinguished Speakers Series with Dr. Rajiv J. Shah
Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 11:00am to 2:00pm
Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills 300 South Doheny Drive Los Angeles, CA 90048
Please join us for The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy's Distinguished Speakers Series, featuring Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, President, The Rockefeller Foundation.
Registration and Reception: 11:00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Keynote Address and Luncheon: 11:45 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Dr. Rajiv J. Shah brings over twenty years of experience in business, government, and philanthropy to The Rockefeller Foundation.  Appointed as USAID Administrator by President Obama in 2009, Dr. Shah was charged with reshaping the $20 billion agency's operations to provide greater assistance to pressing development challenges around the globe. By elevating the importance of innovation, promoting public-private partnerships, rethinking internal practices, and shifting how dollars were spent to deliver stronger results, Shah secured bipartisan support that enabled USAID to dramatically accelerate its work to end extreme poverty. Two significant Presidential priorities – Feed the Future and Power Africa – passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support and were signed into law by President Obama, and the Global Food Security Act is the second largest global development legislation after PEPFAR.  Shah's work delivered results for countries facing democratic transitions, post-conflict situations, and humanitarian crises, and is widely credited with providing life-saving access to food, health, and water for millions of children across the planet.
Dr. Shah is a graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and the Wharton School of Business.  Prior to his appointment at USAID, Shah served as Chief Scientist and Undersecretary for Research, Education and Economics at the United States Department of Agriculture.  He also served in a number of leadership roes at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he helped launch the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (a joint venture by the Gates and Rockefeller foundations) and the International Financing Facility for Immunization (credited with raising more than $5 billion for childhood immunizations worldwide) and where he supported the creation of the Global Development Program.

Q: Return Property if not null in thread safe manner My question is really an extension to this SO question about testing a property is null before returning it. I have a similar situation:
public class MyClass
    {
        private readonly string _Name { get; set; }
        private readonly IEnumerable<T> _Values { get; set; }
        private IEnumerable<T> _MyProp { get; private set; }
        public IEnumerable<T> MyProp
        {
            get
            {
                if(_MyProp == null)
                {
                    this.SetProp();
                }
                return this._MyProp;
            }
            private set;
        }

        public MyClass(string Name, IEnumerable<T> Values)
        {
            this._Name = Name;
            this._Values = Values;
        }

        private void SetProp()
        {
              // Business logic using Name and Values
              this._MyProp = resultOfLogic;
        }

    }

The accepted answer to the linked SO question mentions that this is not a thread safe way of doing it. Can someone advise why it isn't and if there's a way to do this in a thread safe manner?

A: If another thread is running, this thread can call SetProp() between the test and the call to SetProp() on your thread.
I use code like this, to make it more safe:
   // Dedicated object to lock for this property only
   private object myPropSync = new object();
   private T _myPropVal;
   public IEnumerable<T> MyProp
    {
        get
        {
            // Check if property is null
            if(_myPropVal== null)
            {
                // If null -> make sure you are the only one in the next section
                lock (myPropSync) {
                    // Re-test, because another thread can
                    // set the property while waiting for the lock
                    if (_myPropVal== null) {
                         this.SetProp();
                    }
                }
            }
            return this._myPropVal;
        }
        private set {
          lock (_myPropSync) {
             _myPropVal = value;
          }
        }
    }

A:
Can someone advise why

Imagine, that there are two threads, which execute get_MyProp in parallel.
Then it is possible to get this sequence:

*

*T1 : _MyProp == null -> true

*T2 : _MyProp == null -> true

*T1 : this.SetProp(); -> _MyProp is initialized

*T2 : this.SetProp(); -> T2 rewrites _MyProp value, that was calculated by T1

if there's a way to do this in a thread safe manner

Convert SetProp to return IEnumerable<T> instead of setting field, and  use Lazy<T> (by default, initialization will be thread-safe):
private IEnumerable<T> CalcProp()
{
    // Business logic using Name and Values
    return resultOfLogic;
}

public IEnumerable<T> MyProp
{
    get { return _MyProp.Value; }
}
private readonly Lazy<IEnumerable<T>> _MyProp;

public MyClass(string Name, IEnumerable<T> Values)
{
    this._Name = Name;
    this._Values = Values;
    this._MyProp = new Lazy<IEnumerable<T>>(CalcProp);
}

A: I think there may be an error in the code you posted. The fragment
    public IEnumerable<T> MyProp
    {
        get
        {
            if(MyProp == null)
            { // ...

is infinitely recursive and will cause a stack overflow (uncapitalised!).
Did you mean the last line to use _Values as a backing field and test that for null instead of MyProp?

Fuelly Mobile horribly slow on iPhone 3G
Fuelly Page
Hi, the "new" Fuelly mobile is extremely slow on iPhone 3G. I know this phone is not the newest but the old mobile version was practical and fast even though it wasn't "cool" and "shiny".
Could you speed it up a bit? Thanks!
Location: Corvallis, OR
I'm Sorry Fuelly Mobile doesn't feel as fast to you as the old version. We have it running as fast we can.
I know it seems like we simply updated the site to make it cool and shiny, but the new site is designed to work much better on mobile devices. One of the biggest issues it solved is that adding the app to your home screen means it can run more like a native app. Instead of opening new links in a new Mobile Safari instance, everything runs in the same window. That was a long standing annoyance with the older site.
The site also runs better for a wider variety of mobile devices. We still have some issues with Blackberry 5, but overall we're supporting a larger number of devices with the new version.
When we make changes we are thinking of helping the widest possible audience we can, but in the process some people aren't going to happy with the changes. It sounds like you're in that camp this time.
It's slow on a Nokia E75, too. And I don't mean the loading times, but the rendering and scrolling feels choppy.
A lightweight version of the site would be appreciated, but I guess it would not look fancy enough.
We've been talking about this and today we put in an option to remove all styling from the mobile version. So if you go to the mobile version you now have the option to click "Basic" at the bottom of the page to see the mobile site with minimal styling.
That should help if you're on an older device or a slower connection.
The mobile version stopped working for me, it just gets stuck on the loading logo right after I click on my car. But the link to the regular version at the bottom still works so I just use that instead.
Oddly enough, while not optimized for the small screen, the regular version seems to be less laggy on my phone.
Have you tried the new Basic option, impact? That should be the fastest option for you on the Nokia.
The "Basic" version works well, thanks!
x2 I just noticed the option to switch to basic, it's fast and works great.

Grace Grace since a 2007 by-election.
The electorate of Brisbane Central extends upstream along the Brisbane River from Breakfast Creek to Hale Street, then runs up Kelvin Grove Road, Newmarket Road and around the edges of Windsor. It includes the Brisbane CBD and the surrounding suburbs of Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Newstead, Spring Hill, Herston, Bowen Hills, Windsor and parts of Kelvin Grove, Wilston and Newmarket.
The growth of inner-0city apartment living has seen Brisbane Central contract in the redistribution, losing parts of Wilston, Newmarket and Kelvin Grove to neighbouring electorate. The Labor margins slips slightly from 14.8% to an estimated 14.4%.
Brisbane Central has always been a safe Labor seat. It was held from 1989 until his retirement in 2007 by Peter Beattie, who served as Premier 1998-2007, and led Labor to smashing landslide victories in 2001, 2004 and 2006. One Nation tried to capitalise on the Beattie name at the 1998 election by nominating the unrelated John Beattie who polled 9.7%, mainly at the expense of the Liberal Party. The Greens polled 12.3% in 2004, 18.3% in 2006, and 33.1% in the absence of a Liberal candidate at the October 2007 by-election following Peter Beattie's retirement. New Labor candidate Grace Grace was easily elected at the by-election without the need for preferences.
There was remarkably little variation in 2-party result from booth to booth in this electorate at the 2006 election, Labor's vote rising from 61.0% at New Farm to 68.4% at Herston.

Il Kriwe-Kriwajto (; ) noto anche come semplicemente come Kriwe (in lettone: Krīvs; in lituano: Krivis), era il principale sacerdote della mitologia prussiana e baltica. Tale figura religiosa viveva nel tempio (o santuario) prussiano di Romuva, un luogo di culto molto importante nella regione e, un tempo, capitale della Prussia. Il Kriwe-Kriwajto risultava una delle autorità più influenti nella società prussiana e baltica: uomini e donne provenienti soprattutto dalle odierne Polonia settentrionale, Lituania, Lettonia e Oblast' di Kaliningrad giungevano in gruppo o in solitaria a visitare Romuva per compiere sacrifici. Il sommo sacerdote, come lo definisce Pietro di Duisburg parafrasando le sue parole, era responsabile di tutti i principali rituali e la sua influenza veniva riconosciuta anche da popolazioni molto lontane dal luogo in cui agiva, come i curi e i lituani. A tutt'oggi risulta incerta l'esatta ubicazione del sito in cui si risiedeva ed è probabilmente circoscritto tra territorio di Memel, Oblast' di Kaliningrad e contea di Kaunas.

Origini

Secondo la leggenda, il primo Kriwe-Kriwajto (criwo cyrwaito) fu Bruteno, uno dei leggendari re della Prussia assieme al fratello minore Widewuto. Egli era responsabile della vita religiosa in Prussia e il suo legame con il tempio di Romuva fu tale che, alla fine della loro vita, i corpi di entrambi i leggendari fratelli furono bruciati in una cerimonia religiosa tenutasi in loco. Il Kriwe-Kriwajto disponeva di una folta schiera di sacerdoti di rango inferiore, come i wajdelotas (ovvero religiosi che operavano come stregoni, indovini e bardi), i quali lo assistevano nei rituali ed erano responsabili del fuoco sacro, da non spegnere per nessun motivo, sotto la quercia sacra di Romuva.

Ex-Government 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 is the Stuff of Rumours
Man of Many, 6 Dec 2018
You know how rumours go—sometimes you can believe them, sometimes not. Well, the rumour is that a 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 being offered on Bring a Trailer was once owned by the Turkish government ministry. It was bought by its previous owner in Istanbul, who then sold it to the seller's brother. That previous owner invested quite a bit into the Defender.
The Land Rover was equipped with a 2.4 litre Ford Duratorq turbodiesel inline-four which was mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The hood and snorkel were designed to be compatible with the engine switch. A two-inch Terrafirma lift kit was added as well.
A full-length roof rack with a roof-mounted awning dresses up the Defender, while a winch on the front gives it a rugged look as well. Inside, leather seats and the dash were sourced from a later model. A reverse camera was installed, as was a digital HVAC.
The Defender is finished in orange with black accents. There's a ladder to access the roof rack and a row of LED lights over the windshield. Along with the interior parts, the grille, headlights, and rear bumper all came from a later model Defender.
If you're going to believe rumours, you can believe that this Land Rover spent time as a member of the Turkish fleet. You can also believe that this is one tough ride.

A woman describes how her house is haunted by Lee Harvey Oswald. 5-6 minute dramatic monologue, good for older women.
FLORENCE, an aging woman, is in the family home.
The ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald is haunting the cupboard under my kitchen sink and my children just will not believe me. I shouldn't even have told them about it. Sarah, the oldest, has this way of looking at her brothers like I can't see her, like they're just waiting for me to leave so they can discuss which nursing home to put me in. They think I just can't handle this big old house by myself. But the house is not my problem. Four generations of my family have lived here, and two of my husbands. I'm not leaving.
A house is more than boards and foundations. Four generations can make a place like this into a ghost house before there's ever a ghost to house. The scraped-up floorboards are from my grandfather's limp as he dragged wooden foot across the halls. A veteran, he was, and such a furious man, so hard on my father. The smears in the wallpaper at shoulder height are from my mother, who was practically a ghost herself, always touching the wall as she walked about as though it would keep her from disappearing right through the floor. And of course there are the idle scratches along the wall inside my closet as I hid there, waiting for my father to pass by my room that night, hoping he'd continue down the hall without twisting the handle. This is prime real estate for a ghost like Lee Harvey Oswald.
I know it was Lee Harvey Oswald because he first announced himself with a gunshot that I could hear all the way upstairs. I was coming down the stairs when I heard the second shot, coming from just below the sink. When I opened the cupboard I heard the third.
Of course there were three shots. Don't let anyone tell you there weren't. I was there, you know. When President Kennedy was killed. That was with my first husband, Walter. We were visiting my sister and Walter wanted to go watch the motorcade go by. He didn't vote for Kennedy or anything, but he liked the pomp and the cars. We didn't see the "action" as you'd call it, but we heard it all. The screaming, and the gunshots. They asked us later how many shots we heard. Walter said two, but I said three, because that's how many there were. He was so…upset with me that day, because I made him look less credible. I told them I was wrong, that it was two shots. Walter said that just made it worse, changing my mind like that, and why had I even done that, opening my fat mouth. This house was good to me that week, with its long corridors and all the rooms that lead away from each other, and the floorboards that are so loud you can always hear where someone is in the house, and where they might be headed.
Sarah tells me that a banging in an old house doesn't mean it's infested with Lee Harvey Oswald. That's what she said, "infested." She said it's the pipes, not gunshots. She said she'll call a plumber. But I opened that cupboard myself, after the third gunshot, and Lee Harvey Oswald's voice was there, yelling in Russian. It sounded offensive, so I closed the door.
I'm not sure why this matters to anyone. It certainly isn't a big deal to me. He's not in the rest of the house. In fact, he stays safely contained in the cupboard. It's not like he's the most dangerous person who ever lived. He was a disturbed young man, and even that troubled soul needs a dank corner to spend the afterlife in.
I never wonder why here or why now. If all unpleasant men are forced to shamble about the earth after they die, then my house may be teeming with them already. I quite like the idea of them trapped inside the cupboards. Maybe they sit there, cramped and with aching joints in their ghostly legs, listening to the sounds of my footsteps as I pass my fingers over the handles of all the doors, shuffling from room to room.

Share this Story: Investors, court deliver 'stark warning for Big Oil' on climate
Investors, court deliver 'stark warning for Big Oil' on climate
Gary Mcwilliams
Shareholders rebuked the top two U.S. oil companies on Wednesday for dragging their feet on fighting climate change, while a Dutch court ruled that Royal Dutch Shell needs to accelerate cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
"Today was a stark warning for Big Oil," said Bess Joffe, of the Church Commissioners for England, which manages the Church of England's investment fund, with executives "being held to account by investors and lawmakers."
Investors, court deliver 'stark warning for Big Oil' on climate Back to video
Exxon Mobil lost at least two board seats to an activist hedge fund, shareholders at Chevron endorsed a call to further reduce its emissions and a court deemed Royal Dutch Shell's emissions targets insufficient.
Investor support for climate concerns could force oil and gas companies to rethink how fast they pivot to other forms of energy. BP Plc, which recently pledged to consult with shareholders on its climate targets, could see the next test of the groundswell.
A Dutch court ordered Shell to slash its carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
DISSIDENTS GET A WIN AT EXXON
Shell said it would appeal, and analysts called the decision not the last word in the case.
"This ruling has negligible chance to survive appeals," said Per Magnus Nysveen, of energy consultancy Rystad Energy.
In a stunning blow to top management at Exxon, shareholders elected two change candidates for its board and approved measures calling for annual reports on climate and grassroots lobbying effort.
Activists could yet win a third seat with some votes still to be counted and the full board not yet known.
After the meeting, CEO Darren Woods said Exxon heard shareholders' desire to advance lower-carbon and cost-cutting efforts.
"We are well positioned to respond," he said.
Chevron shareholders backed a call for the company to cut emissions from the end-use of its fuels with 61% supporting the petition. Another resolution calling for a report on the business impact of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 was backed by 48% of votes cast.
PROTEST VOTES
"The question for oil companies is when and how much" do they reduce oil and gas production in response to investor and social concerns, said Charles Elson, a professor of corporate governance at the University of Delaware.
Investors have registered protests over the slow pace of change, but corporate executives will have to evaluate how to implement what are non-binding resolutions, he said.
The votes signal a new sense of urgency, said Mark Van Baal, who leads a climate advocacy group that placed resolutions calling for emissions cuts at Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Phillips66. All got at least 58% support.
Investors are saying: "we want you to act by decreasing emissions now, not in the distant future," he said.

Is a workers life worth about $11,300?
Eleazar Torres-Gomez climbed onto a slow-moving conveyor to untangle a pile of wet laundry. Cintas, the laundry giant, encouraged workers at its Tulsa, Okla. plant to climb onto the conveyors to push items that were tangled into the dryers to meet production goals. He was then sucked into the industrial dryer on March 6, 2007 and drew his last breath inside its 300-degree chamber.
Internal memos revealed that company officials knew about the danger posed by the conveyor belts and that there were close calls before. But they never installed the protective guardrails that the memos suggest could have prevented the incident.
Three years earlier, in Ola, Ark., 19-year-old Jeremy Foster, headed out to work at the Deltic Timber sawmill in town. The temp agency sent him there. He never came home that night. Instead, his body was shipped to the local coroner. Because the mill's wood chipper lacked a safety guard, it grabbed his shirt and strangled him to death.
Foster's stepmother, Becky, told the World that the company sent two men to the family's house to offer condolences and flowers and that they sent flowers to the funeral. "And that's all they did," she said. "His death actually cost the company only $2,250 because that is the amount the government finally fined Deltic for not having a protective guard on the wood chipper."
Last year Darrell Richards of Junction City was killed at another Deltic sawmill in Waldo, Ark.
The labor movement has, for many years, complained about small fines and lack of jail terms for companies that willfully disregard safety standards.
This year, however, it seems that, from the halls of Congress to the offices of government regulatory bodies, the government is reversing course and moving to stop the carnage.
The House Education and Labor Committee held hearings in Washington, D.C. on April 28 and endorsed passage of the Protecting America's Workers Act, HR 2067. The bill increases the fines the Occupational Safety and Health Administration can impose on companies that flout safety standards and allows for long jail terms in cases where employer negligence results in the death of a worker .The measure also extends OSHA protection to additional categories of workers.
Committee chairman, George Miller (D-Calif.), pledged to move quickly on getting the bill before the whole Congress. GOP legislators on the committee did not join the group's top Republican, Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), in his vocal opposition to forwarding the legislation.
The decision to launch the new bill follows the April 8 appointment of health and safety activist Jordan Barab as the acting head of the OSHA. Barab, who is senior policy adviser for the House Education and Labor Committee, is well-known as a strong advocate for health and safety in the workplace.
Barab will lead the agency until a permanent director is chosen and then will become OSHA's deputy assistant secretary on a permanent basis.
Peg Seminaro, the AFL-CIO's director for safety and health, said, "Barab has a deep commitment and dedication to protecting workers and will bring to OSHA the energy and leadership needed to move the agency in a new direction."
April 28, the day of the congressional hearings, was Workers Memorial Day which honors men and women who gave their lives at their workplaces.
The AFL-CIO says 5,657 workers were killed on the job in 2007, the most recent year for which figures are available. Another 50,000, the federation says, died from job-related diseases.
Seminario told the congressional committee that, "the average penalty for a serious violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act is about $900. The average penalty for worker deaths is $11,300, but that's only when there's any kind of enforcement or penalty at all.
"What kind of message does it send to employers, workers and family members that the death of a worker caused by serious or repeated violations of the law warrants only a penalty of a few thousand dollars? It tells them there is little value placed on the lives of workers in this country and that there are no serious consequences for violating the law."
During the 39 years during which the nation has had job safety laws, there have been 350,000 deaths on the job, according to the AFL-CIO.
Davis Uhlmann, a federal prosecutor, told the congressional panel that, during those 39 years, there have been only 71 prosecutions and a total of 42 months of jail time for those convicted. "This is because causing death on the job is only a misdemeanor under federal law."
Meaningless penalties and infrequent prosecution are not only obstacles with which workers, their families and job safety experts are faced.
The Government Accountability Office released a report April 30 that showed how the Bush administration had ordered OSHA to pursue only the "worst of the worst" firms. For most companies, the report noted, Bush had turned OSHA into a "consultative agency" for big business.
The report noted that the maximum $7,000 fine for willful and repeated violations hasn't been increased for 20 years. OSHA's employee handbook tells its enforcement officials to start bargaining with violators by using a figure of $5,000, with discounts based on employer size and job safety history.
Another problem is that families of victims have been shut out of negotiations with companies. HR 2067 would include families.
Seminario noted that at unionized workplaces the unions are supposed to participate in negotiations on penalties and remedies between OSHA and employers. "But during the Bush administration we were excluded and presented with a fait acomplie," she said.
The hearings also provided dramatic proof of Bush administration encouragement of state health and safety officials who let violators off the hook.
Twelve construction workers died in an 18 month period ending in 2008 at a major project on the Las Vegas, Nevada strip. Rep. Dana Titus (D-Nev.) testified that Nevada's OSHA failed to protect the victims because it was under the state's Department of Industry "and headed by a Republican appointee who intervened in job safety probes on behalf of Republican campaign contributors."
The Las Vegas Sun reporter who broke the story won a Pulitzer prize for the series of articles. He was laid off after the articles ran.
Several of those who testified suggested giving the federal OSHA the power to take over local investigations when it sees that the state bodies aren't doing the job.
They also called for a drastic increase in the number of OSHA inspectors. Seminario said that the agency now has only 948 inspectors, its lowest total in 12 years, or one for every 6.4 million workers.

Mail forwarding doesn't happen at the DNS level, it happens at the mail server level. You use the MX record to point to a mail server, which is then configured to accept mail and do useful stuff with it (e.g., forward it somewhere, deliver it to an IMAP mailbox, etc.). You can run your own e-mail server by setting up Postfix on the appliance and then configuring it (there's a nice Webmin module BTW) for example to forward your mail somewhere. Or you can sign up for a third party mail service (e.g., Google Apps) and point your MX record to their servers. Hope this helps!
Id thought about Google Apps, but would prefer to get Postfix forwarding somewhere, like just to my ordinary gmail account if thats possible.
Thankyou for the advice, and I totally understand now what I have to do.
Please don't let me discourage you!
Cause I think it's great to learn about Linux stuff and am usually keen to encourage it. But OTOH I have personally found that sometimes being too out of my depth can reduce my interest in stuff and/or increase my frustration leading to me throwing my arms in the air and walking away (although I often come back later with a vengeance). So have a read, have a play and try to get it to work just how you want. But if it starts to cause too much pain, perhaps consider opening a free Google Apps account and set that up to forward to your Gmail. I can vouch for the fact that it's very easy to do.
But AFAIK they don't take your whole domain over (unless you want them to), just the email bit. IIRC there were pretty good docs and they walk you through the initial set up process. You still need to manually point your MX DNS records to Google and so I don't think they could take over your whole domain without you setting it up that way, even if they wanted to.
I have it setup at work (for work email) and our website is hosted elsewhere and it all works fine. Although I set it up some time ago so no doubt things have changed a bit.
Gives me a new sense of I might be able to do this .
Thanks JedMeister....I knew everyone here knew everything.
Im slowly working everything out, so thanks all for your patience.
I think I might need some help...knowing which bit to do in TLK domain management, and which bit I need to do in google apps.
I registed a new google apps account, and uploaded an html verification file to my ykl drupal root, which I can get through www.domain.com, but not through domain.com (which was what I registered in google apps). Is that a problem on my google app registering or my TKL domain managment?
If you could spare a minute or two to point be in the right direction would be most appreciated.
You corrected registered the domain with google apps (www.domain.com is an FQDN, with www being the hostname). Once you have verified that you own the domain and google are happy, you can move onto the next step.
I understand that you've already setup your registrar to point your DNS records to what was specified, so the next step is to add the MX records that google apps displays to the Hub DNS management interface.
