The Hill ran a headline on Monday that read, 'WATCH: Trump stares at solar eclipse without protective glasses' and the liberals went crazy attacking Trump; many hoped for him to go blind and die.
President Trump watched the solar eclipse from the White House with First Lady Melania and 11-year-old Barron Trump with protective glasses. It was only for a brief moment that Trump glanced up at the sun and now the fake news is making it appear that Trump is an idiot who stared at the eclipse without glasses.
In fact, many reporters can be seen glancing up at the sun during the eclipse without protective glasses on as they were reporting live and no one made a big deal about it.
Evil liberals responded to the fake news by hoping Trump goes blind or dies. Lovely.
Oh goody hope he not only goes blind by also drops dead.
I hope he goes blind.
.@thehill Uh, did you miss all of the photos of @realDonaldTrump WEARING the Eclipse glasses with his family? His eyes look closed here.
In all fairness, the video I saw of this showed him quickly glancing at it.
A glance is not "staring" you FAKE NEWS DUNCE!

Q: Rails, disable cookies/sessions for some controllers I have an application which has both web and api, but I need to disable cookies/sessions for api controller, because devise authenticates user from session, but I need to authenticate user only from data provided in request. I found suggested solution before_action -> { request.session_options[:skip] = true } for api controllers, but this didn't work, it seems like this hook is working only for new sessions but not skips existing. I use rails 4 and devise gem for authentication. Also I found solution to disable cookies/sessions in config/application.rb but I don't need to disable sessions for whole application, only for api controllers.
Solution
According to answer in this question Disable Cookies in Rails 3.x app

UMass-Lowell bound talent to play for the Navigators
By North Shore Navigators
UMass-Lowell bound
LYNN, Mass. — The North Shore Navigators will continue a long-standing Futures Collegiate Baseball League tradition this summer, welcoming three more of New England's rising college prospects to the roster. After playing at Fraser Field, all three ― Spaulding (N.H.) High School's Keagan Calero, and Austin Prep's Jon Gilbride and Cam Seguin ― will make the short trip to UMass Lowell together to begin their collegiate careers.
"The Navigators have had some great talent join the team as rising freshmen and these three UMass Lowell-bound players are no different," Director of Player Procurement Joe Gill said. "I know that Keagan, Jon, and Cam will benefit from their experience in the Futures League as they ready for college while contributing our team's goal of winning a championship this season. We're excited to have them."
One of New Hampshire's top high school athletes, Calero has been a four-year varsity starter in both baseball and basketball at Spaulding. The Rochester, N.H., native entered his senior season as a two-time First Team All-State shortstop and Perfect Game Underclass All-American. Calero was also the top-ranked player in this year's New Hampshire senior class and earned Most Valuable Player honors on American Legion state champion teams.
Beverly's Gilbride and Woburn's Seguin were on the field as juniors a year ago when Austin Prep captured its first-ever Division 3 state title and the duo of captains has been instrumental in the team's success again. The two future Navs have helped the Cougars to a 16-1 start this spring.
Gilbride has a .325 average and .521 on-base percentage with eight extra-base hits and 25 runs scored. After pitching a complete game that led Austin Prep to last spring's title, the southpaw Seguin has been brilliant on the mound, going 4-1 with two saves while allowing just six earned runs and striking out 56 over 43 innings of work. Segun has 20 career wins for the Cougars.
The Navs kick off their 2019 season this Thursday, May 30 at Brockton. Following back-to-back games on the road, the team's Fraser Field debut is set for Saturday, June 1 at 6 p.m. against the Nashua Silver Knights.

A Day in the Life of Colin, 1908
Jun 1st 2011 10:00 pm |
There is nothing like coming across a single historical source filled with previously unknown details about a subject you are deeply interested in. So I was thrilled when I came across an article from the Evening World in the Library of Congress's outstanding collection of digital newspapers titled "One Day in the Life of Colin and Celt, the Great Half-brother Kings of the American Turf Today."
The article documents details about the daily life of Colin. Many of the details found in the article are likely undocumented anywhere else. It is especially valuable for information about the forgotten characters in the life of Colin including his groom, stable pony, and his primary exercise rider, Marshall Lilly, who I have mentioned in the past and is featured in one of my all-time favorite racing images:
Colin and Marshall Lilly
Colin was the first racing superstar of the 20th century. In the June 10, 1908 article from the Evening World, the unnamed writer described the scene at Sheepshead Bay in New York at the barn of trainer James Rowe with the two stars of owner James Keene's stable: Colin and Celt. The article was published about ten days after Colin had captured the Belmont Stakes in one of the most dramatic editions of that race. It was Colin's fourteenth win from fourteen starts, an unmatched feat by a Thoroughbred horse running during and before his era. He would win one more to complete a perfect career.
Here are excerpts from the article (read it in full here):
Colin and Celt, the crown jewels of the thirty-six horses in training in the [James R.] Keene Stable, had just come in together from their morning exercise, and were ready for their rub down and breakfast. Colin, the winner of the Belmont and nearly $200,000, seemed more eager, more spirited than his half brother, and he raised his head, pricked his ears, lifted first one, then the other of his slender, bandaged legs, all the while sniffing with his delicate nostrils the oats and clover of his breakfast, there was not a line, not a detail of his splendid body that did not suggest the type ideal of the thoroughbred horse…
…"They breezed that mile in forty-nine easy," said Jimmy Rowe when he had turned the roan pony over to a stable boy. That roan, by the way, has a sort of platonic affinity for both Colin and Celt. He is many years older than either, but he always trots along side by side when either goes to race, and his presence like that of an old friend, seems to have a soothing effect. He is known on all Eastern race tracks, but has no name, and is just "the roan pony" — a chubby, dignified, self-contained beast, with a peculiar mission in life; for he has known the companionship of the great Sysonby, now that of the two sovereign three-year-olds, and is liable to play guide, philosopher and friend to many other turf notables yet unborn…
…Finch is as black as an Egyptian night, and so is Baldorf, who attends exclusively to Colin, and as they sponge and scrape away at their charges, using a flat, slab-like utensil like a paper-setter for scraping, they glance at each other jealously, and then at Rowe and [Rowe's superintendent Tom] Green as if for approval.
"They get away with about eleven quarts of oats, ground corn and fresh clover a day," said Mr. Rowe. "Colin is the heartier eater of the two, although he is the smallest horse, and he's not as fat as he was. Celt is sixteen hands three and a half inches. No, sir, they never give me any trouble any time in the stall or out of it or on the track or somewhere. They are all good race horses in this respect. Colin especially is sweet dis-positioned."
…There is nothing elaborate about the routine of a day in Colin's or Celt's life, nor in the life of any thoroughbred. The treatment is simple, and Jimmy Rowe always laughs at the idea that these two are treated more luxuriously than other horses in his care.
"The selling platers [claiming horse] get the same kind of stalls, the same food, the same exercise and the same attention," he says, "If a horse isn't worth the same treatment we get rid of him…"
….The stalls are plainly wooden, with no linings or upholsterings, and with a dirt floor covered with straw. After breakfast and bath, Colin and Celt were covered with a light blanket and remained in their stalls. The noon meal is somewhat heavier than the breakfast and consists of about four quarts.
They remain quiet after it until about 4 o'clock, when they are taken out by Finch and Baldorf and walked around for light exercise. During this time stable boys make up their beds, shaking up or putting in fresh straw. Their supper is at about 6 o'clock and then it's off to sleep until 5 o'clock the next morning.
Rowe always arrives at the stable promptly at that time.
"I'd rather have colored help around my stable," says Mr. Rowe. "I tried white men once and they won't do. They want to be always betting or at the races. A negro really loves a horse. That Baldorf has attended only to Colin this year, but wouldn't swap jobs with the King of England. I had to fire the boy who tended him last year, and it nearly broke the fellow's heart but he got too shiftless. The Lord knows where Baldorf got that name–they gave it to him around the stable. Finch has been with Celt since he was a yearling and is a good boy.
Before big races or for especial workouts Marshall Lilly, a colored boy, rides Colin and Celt. Mr. Rowe says he is the finest judge of pace he ever saw and would be a great jockey were he not too heavy. He has been with the Keene stable for years. Notter, the jockey who has ridden Colin in all his victories, often exercises him before a big race.
It is fascinating to read about the paternalistic affinity that Rowe had towards the "colored" help. While his attitude may have been progressive for his day, he did not deviate beyond the status quo if you consider the case of Marshall Lilly. Lilly was a talented horsemen who worked for Rowe for much of his life. In today's environment, it is likely that Lilly would have been assigned the title of assistant trainer. But during the era in which he lived, he was never elevated beyond the rank of "exercise boy." (More to come on Mr. Lilly in a future post)
The complications of race relations aside, the article provides fascinating details about the operations of a Hall of Fame trainer and one of the legendary owners of the era, James Keene. But, most importantly, it offers insight into a racing legend and one of the elite few who retired without ever being beaten.

Image from H.P. Robertson's The History of Thoroughbred Racing in America. It does not have information about the location of the original, but I would guess it is in the Keeneland Library.
I'll be in the house at Belmont Park for the Belmont Stakes…one of my favorite days of racing. Hope to see you there!

Great historical information.
Best horseracing blog!
John Scheinman says:
Terrific post. Terrific image. Glad I got alerted to this. Remarkable how clean the writing is, economical and descriptive. The author deserved a byline.
Dave Wilson says:
Great story and pic. As you know I am researching Colin and James Rowe Sr. so this was a real joy to read.
I still have not made it to the Rowe grave, but will someday.
Thanks, Dave
PS: Rowe was Mark Mayer's best friend (Mayerdale.com)
NinaS says:
Fascinating! What a find. The writing is just wonderful.
Ron Micetic says:
Another great column, Kevin.
I would have to respectively disagree with your assertion that Colin was the "first racing superstar of the 20th century." I'd have to give that honor to the magnificent sprinter Roseben. Largely forgotten today, Roseben set world records that lasted for many decades, and drew thousands of adoring fans to the New York tracks from 1904 to his retirement in 1909.
For your information, I have an original 8″x10″ photograph of the Colin image. It was obtained from the Keeneland Library's collection of Cook glass negatives.
Ron: I am certainly familiar with Roseben but your comment has inspired me to do a little digging in the archives. Might be the seed for a future post. Thanks! Wow, would love to see the original negative of that image, definitely on my list of things to do the next time I am at Keeneland.
White Camry says:
The full page of the article has some interesting portraits of the times – and one shockingly sad story all too relevant to today.
DebG says:
I give you thanks for this posting. It is hardley ever that Colin is mentioned as one of the greatest of those days gone by…… He was an exceptional champion.
Sprince says:
Thank you so much for your blog. Marshall Lilly was married to my grandmother for for many years until his death in 1974 and I considered him my grandfather. I grew up hanging out with "Mr. Lilly," and had many wonderful Sat. afternoons at Monmouth Park with him. I have so many fond memories of him and knew he was an amazing horseman, but really enjoyed reading about his early background.
Thanks for writing about this time in American racing.

When P.S. 123 in Central Harlem has popped up in the news over the past year, the coverage has not been flattering.
There was the story this month highlighting the school's "nightmarish" test scores and "unsafe" conditions, one last summer citing its many suspensions for students' "physically aggressive behavior," and another in October where a principal unfavorably compared P.S. 123's academic record to that of his charter school.
So when Chancellor Carmen Fariña invited reporters Tuesday to join her and P.S. 123's principal on a tour of the school, which is part of the city's new turnaround program for struggling schools, she mixed advice for the principal with praise for bright spots at the school that haven't grabbed headlines.
As with other schools in the turnaround program, Fariña said P.S. 123 must get students to show up to class every day, weave writing instruction into every subject, and better train teachers while urging the least effective ones to leave. But, noting the school's many students who are homeless or have special needs, Farina said Principal Melitina Hernandez has already done great work reaching out to their families and using the arts to draw students into school.
During her tour of P.S. 123, Fariña spoke to students in a fifth-grade math class.
P.S. 123 is in the city's turnaround program, called School Renewal, because it ranks among the bottom bottom 5 percent of schools in the state and the lowest quarter of schools in the city. Last year, 5 percent of its students passed the state math exams, and 9 percent passed English.
Fariña on Tuesday called such a comparison "definitely apples and oranges." She noted that nearly a third of P.S. 123 students have disabilities, about one-fifth are still learning English, and more than a quarter live in temporary housing. She said the lottery admissions system at charter schools attracts the most involved parents, and she again suggested that some charter schools shed students in a way district schools do not.
Still, Fariña made clear that she expects P.S. 123's test scores to rise regardless of the many challenges its students face. And Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has been touting the Renewal program in recent weeks, has insisted that he will consider closing schools that fail to improve even with the added support.
Hernandez said she has already received some help through the Renewal program, which launched in November. Turnaround officials have visited the school and offered feedback, she has been given budgeting assistance (though no extra funding yet), and 10 teachers have attended training sessions for a particular writing program, she said.
But, unlike a small group of high-priority struggling schools that the city has given intensive help since the start of the school year, P.S. 123 has only recently received support through the program, Hernandez said. For example, the city has not sent the school a principal mentor or on-site teacher coaches or monitored its progress throughout the fall as it did with some of those early-intervention schools.
Fariña offered P.S. 123 Principal Melitina Hernandez advice about how to get students to show up to school and how to weed out ineffective teachers.
That work was aided by earlier improvement programs for low-performing schools, including a three-year, $4.1 million federal grant that P.S. 123 won in 2013 to fund teacher training along with arts and sports activities.
During Tuesday's tour, Hernandez said the school had used that money to install electronic whiteboards in classrooms, fill a technology room with top-of-the-line computers, and add after-school and Saturday classes. The school has also established a competitive chess team, healthy cooking classes for families, and a partnership with a nonprofit that sends teaching artists into schools, Hernandez said.
Fariña commended those efforts, but also made plain her own priorities for the Renewal schools.
Throughout her visit, she said P.S. 123 needs to stay focused on improving its writing instruction and tying it into every class. (She told two different art instructors to add more writing to their projects, and asked a kindergarten student to show her some of her writing.) She also said Hernandez must boost the school's attendance rate, perhaps by having older students check in on younger ones through a "phone buddy" system or buying alarm clocks for others.
After the tour, Fariña explained that principals can use such methods to convince teachers who are not a good fit for a school to leave.

For other uses, see King (disambiguation).
In a modern context, the title may refer to the ruler of one of a number of modern monarchies (either absolute or constitutional). The title of king is used alongside other titles for monarchs: in the West, prince, emperor, archduke, duke or grand duke, and in the Middle East, sultan or emir, etc.
The term king may also refer to a king consort, a title that is sometimes given to the husband of a ruling queen, but the title of prince consort is sometimes granted instead. A king dowager is the male equivalent of the queen dowager. A king father is a king dowager who is also the father of the reigning sovereign.
Look up cyning in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The English term king is derived from the Anglo-Saxon cyning, which in turn is derived from the Common Germanic *kuningaz. The Common Germanic term was borrowed into Estonian and Finnish at an early time, surviving in these languages as kuningas. The English term "King" translates, and is considered equivalent to, Latin rēx and its equivalents in the various European languages. The Germanic term is notably different from the word for "King" in other Indo-European languages (*rēks "ruler"; Latin rēx, Sanskrit rājan and Irish ríg, but see Gothic reiks and, e.g., modern German Reich and modern Dutch rijk). It is a derivation from the term *kunjom "kin" (Old English cynn) by the -inga- suffix. The literal meaning is that of a "scion of the [noble] kin", or perhaps "son or descendant of one of noble birth" (OED).
The English word is of Germanic origin, and historically refers to Germanic kingship, in the pre-Christian period a type of tribal kingship. The monarchies of Europe in the Christian Middle Ages derived their claim from Christianisation and the divine right of kings, partly influenced by the notion of sacral kingship inherited from Germanic antiquity.
The Early Middle Ages begin with a fragmentation of the former Western Roman Empire into barbarian kingdoms. In Western Europe, the kingdom of the Franks developed into the Carolingian Empire by the 8th century, and the kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon England were unified into the kingdom of England by the 10th century.
With the breakup of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century, the system of feudalism places kings at the head of a pyramid of relationships between liege lords and vassals, dependent on the regional rule of barons, and the intermediate positions of counts (or earls) and dukes. The core of European feudal manorialism in the High Middle Ages were the territories of the former Carolingian Empire, i.e. the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire (centered on the nominal kingdoms of Germany and Italy).
In the course of the European Middle Ages, the European kingdoms underwent a general trend of centralisation of power, so that by the Late Middle Ages there were a number of large and powerful kingdoms in Europe, which would develop into the great powers of Europe in the Early Modern period.
In the Iberian Peninsula, the remnants of the Visigothic Kingdom, the petty kingdoms of Asturias and Pamplona, expanded into the kingdom of Portugal, the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon with the ongoing Reconquista.
In southern Europe, the kingdom of Sicily was established following the Norman conquest of southern Italy. The Kingdom of Sardinia was claimed as a separate title held by the Crown of Aragon in 1324. In the Balkans, the Kingdom of Serbia was established in 1217.
In eastern-central Europe, the Kingdom of Hungary was established in AD 1000 following the Christianisation of the Magyars. The kingdoms of Poland and Bohemia were established within the Holy Roman Empire in 1025 and 1198, respectively. In Eastern Europe, the Kievan Rus' consolidated into the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which did not technically claim the status of kingdom until the early modern Tsardom of Russia.
In northern Europe, the tribal kingdoms of the Viking Age by the 11th century expanded into the North Sea Empire under Cnut the Great, king of Denmark, England and Norway. The Christianization of Scandinavia resulted in "consolidated" kingdoms of Sweden and Norway, and by the end of the medieval period the pan-Scandinavian Kalmar Union.
Currently (as of 2016[update]), fifteen kings are recognized as the heads of state of sovereign states (i.e. English king is used as official translation of the respective native titles held by the monarchs).
Most of these are heads of state of constitutional monarchies; kings ruling over absolute monarchies are the King of Saudi Arabia, the King of Bahrain and the King of Eswatini.
Harald V King of Norway Glücksburg konge Kingdom of Norway 11th c.
Carl XVI Gustaf King of Sweden Bernadotte konung Kingdom of Sweden 12th c.
^ There have been rare exceptions, most notably Jadwiga of Poland and Mary, Queen of Hungary, who were crowned as King of Poland and King of Hungary respectively during the 1380s.
^ The notion of a king being below an emperor in the feudal order, just as a duke is the rank below a king, is more theoretical than historical. The only kingdom title held within the Holy Roman Empire was the Kingdom of Bohemia, with the Kingdoms of Germany, Italy and Burgundy/Arles being nominal realms. The titles of King of the Germans and King of the Romans were non-landed titles held by the Emperor-elect (sometimes during the lifetime of the previous Emperor, sometimes not), although there were anti-Kings at various points; Arles and Italy were either held directly by the Emperor or not at all. The Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Empires technically contained various Kingdoms (Hungary, Bohemia, Dalmatia, Illyria, Lombardy–Venetia and Galicia and Lodomeria, as well as the Kingdoms of Croatia and Slavonia which were themselves subordinate titles to the Hungarian Kingdom and which were merged as Croatia-Slavonia in 1868), but the Emperor and the King were the same person. The Russian Empire did not include any kingdoms. The short-lived First French Empire (1804–1814/5) did include a number of client kingdoms under Napoleon I, such as the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Westphalia, the Kingdom of Etruria, the Kingdom of Württemberg, the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony and the Kingdom of Holland. The German Empire (1871-1918) included the Kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria, Württemberg and Saxony, with the Prussian King also holding the Imperial title.

^ The distinction of the title of "king" from "sultan" or "emir" in oriental monarchies is largely stylistics; the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the State of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are also categorised as absolute monarchies.

Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev 2
Polyphonic Synthesizer
Hardware > Keyboard, Synthesizer
By Gordon Reid
The Rev 2's attractive feature set and inviting price tag could make it the most popular Prophet yet.
It's hard to believe that it's been nine years since DSI reintroduced the Prophet name to a world crying out for recreations rather than digital emulations of classic analogue synths. Looking back, the chattering classes had significant misgivings when DSI did so, but the Prophet 08 won over many (although, if we're honest, not all) of the doubters, and paved the way for the Prophet 12 and the Pro 2, the Prophet 6 and the OB-6, all of which have offered different flavours of hybrid analogue/digital synthesis. I've reviewed all of these, comparing them with their ancestors — the Prophet 600, the Prophet 5, the Pro One and even the Oberheim 4-Voice — and, without exception, I've been impressed. So today's question is, will the Prophet Rev 2 be another good'un?
The Voicing
The Rev 2 keyboard and its desktop module are each supplied in two versions: an eight-voice model and an otherwise identical 16-voice model, and you can upgrade the former to the latter using the Rev 2 Expander Kit. Both versions are bi-timbral, allowing you to create a separate sound, each with its own effect, arpeggio and sequence, in Layers A and B of each Program. These can then be layered or positioned either side of a user-defined split point. For the smaller model, layering reduces the polyphony to four notes while, for the larger, it's reduced to eight notes, as you would expect. You can audition and edit either Layer individually or while listening to the composite sound, and copy or swap Layers within a Program. Initially, you couldn't copy sounds from one Program into another, but this was corrected in v1.0.7.2 of the OS. If you switch off Layer B, then Layer A is played with the instrument's full polyphony.
Each voice offers two detunable, mixable DCOs with optional key sync (which initialises the waveform when you press the key) and the ability to be disconnected from the keyboard. There's also a sub-oscillator an octave below osc 1, and a white-noise generator. You can waveshape any of the oscillators' waveforms (not just the pulse wave), picking an initial shape and modulating it as you choose. In addition, an oscillator 'slop' parameter allows you to add errors to the pitches of each oscillator to turn your nice, stable DCOs into horrid, inconsistent VCOs. Oh yes... and you can hard-sync osc 1 to osc 2 for the usual range of effects, which the Rev 2 does rather well.
The output from the oscillator section is then presented to the same Curtis low-pass filter used in the Prophet 08. This offers resonant 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct modes, the latter of which will self-oscillate at high resonance settings. Its character is as you would expect — warm and flexible, but perhaps not as aggressive as some people might like. The filter cutoff frequency is affected by a dedicated five-stage (DADSR) contour generator. The amplitude of this is velocity sensitive and it can be applied with positive or negative polarity. The maximum delay before the contour begins its journey through the ADSR stages isn't long — around six seconds — but the maximum attack, decay and release times are languorous; around 25 seconds for the attack and decay, and around 40 seconds for the release. At their fastest, the A and D times are reassuringly clicky. You can also modulate the cutoff frequency using the output from osc 1. The possibilities of this are enormous: you can sweep the pitch of osc 1 to create all manner of clangourous timbres and other sophisticated effects and, when the filter is self-oscillating, you can even create 2-op FM sounds this way.
Each voice's audio amplifier is controlled by a second velocity-sensitive DADSR contour. The amplifier section has just one additional parameter: Pan Spread, which places alternate voices either side of the centre by an amount determined by the parameter value. In addition, there's a VCA Level ('Initial Level') parameter tucked away in the Miscellaneous menu, and this allows the synth to drone if that appeals to you.
The Rev 2 is replete with modulation options, not least of which is an eight-slot modulation matrix that allows you to direct your choice of 22 sources to your choice of 53 destinations, with each slot having an individual, bipolar amount control. Programming this can be simpler than you might imagine — just hold down the Source button and adjust the control that you want to define as the modulation source, and then do the same with the Destination button. This doesn't provide access to the complete list of sources or destinations, but it's a quick way to programme the most common ones, and you can access the rest on-screen in the usual fashion.
Four of the modulation sources are LFOs that offer five waveforms, key sync and master clock sync, and you can apply these using their dedicated Destination knob or via the modulation matrix. Their maximum frequencies didn't seem to reach the 500Hz promised in the specification but, at the other end of the scale, I found that I could force them well below the claimed 0.022Hz for some incredibly slow sweeps. There's also an auxiliary envelope that can be routed using another dedicated Destination control or through the matrix. You can set this one to loop if desired, which means that you can use it to create unusual waveforms. With the attack, decay and release set to zero, the maximum frequency attainable is around 400Hz, which suggests some interesting possibilities. At the other end of the scale, the lowest frequency I obtained could be measured in minutes/cycle!
Other voicing facilities include individual Program volumes in addition to the overall master volume control, octave transpose, hold, and a flexible portamento (the rate of which can be determined separately for osc 1 and osc 2) with equal rate and equal time modes, and both legato and non-legato options. There are also two pan modes that determine how the sound is affected when pan is a modulation destination. The first affects the spread of individual notes, to determine how 'wide' the sound is in the stereo field, while the second allows you to move the whole Layer left or right, just as when using the panning knob on a mixer. The Rev 2 also offers the usual range of key modes: low-, high- and last-note priority, with or without multi-triggering, and these are particularly relevant when using the monophonic Unison mode, which allows you to play a single note with up to 16 voices. Strangely, there's no polyphonic unison that would, for example, allow you to play four notes, each with four voices. But on a more positive note, there's chord memory and, like other Prophets of recent years, it offers numerous alternative tuning scales that, if you wish, you can replace with alternatives downloaded from the Internet.
What the Program editor would look like if the SoundEditor window were wide enough.
The Arpeggiator, Sequencer & Effects
Each Layer includes an arpeggiator offering up, down, up/down, random, and 'as played' modes over one, two or three octaves, with each note repeating up to three times, as you choose. Timing can be derived from the internal clock, MIDI Clock, an external trigger source or external audio and, if you want, a neat re-latching feature allows you to hold an existing arpeggio and then, when you play a new chord, create a new arpeggio rather than adding the new notes to the existing pattern. It's simple, and works well.
There's also a dual-mode sequencer in each Layer. The first mode offers a single, 64-step, six-voice polyphonic track, and you can play along with this using any unallocated voices. Programming notes, ties and rests is straightforward and, if you make a mistake, it's possible to edit each note individually. You can copy and swap sequences between Layers, but not to or from another Program, which you might find frustrating. Unexpectedly, you can change Program while a sequence is playing, and it will continue with the new sound. Unfortunately, transposition on playback requires that you press the Record button and the desired key, which is impractical because it can require two hands, so DSI really should find a better way to accomplish this. The second mode is a four-track, 16-step sequencer called the 'gated sequencer', and you have to press and hold a note on the keyboard or via MIDI for it to run (hence the name). This allows you to create and replay up to four modulation tracks, although you can make it play notes by routing one or more tracks to the oscillators' frequencies. Programming is parametric but straightforward; select the desired track and destination and then enter values on each step using the Value knob. The only complexity is encountered when using the Slew function available on tracks two and four, which allows you to apply programmable amounts of glide to the transitions of values in tracks one and three. Interestingly, the four tracks can have different numbers of steps, which mean that you can create sequences that take a very long time to repeat. Whichever mode you use, you save the sequence by saving the Program containing it.
The six-voice sequencer window.Each of the Rev 2's Layers has its own effects processor and each of these offers 13 algorithms; three flavours of delay, a chorus, three phasers, two flangers, a reverb, a ring modulator, distortion and a resonant high-pass filter. Each algorithm offers just two parameters. The first defines the delay time, the modulation rate, and so on, while the second determines the magnitude of the effect. These, together with the wet/dry mix, are destinations in the modulation matrix, so you can do far more with them than you might expect. Of course, these facilities are far from unique to the Rev 2, but there's something about the way that the controls and menu options are arranged that encourages experimentation. Consequently, I would treat the effects as part of the sound design process rather than as substitutes for external processors. Alternatively, you can defeat them to ensure a pure analogue signal path from the oscillators to the outside world.
Do you remember the famous café scene in When Harry Met Sally? If so, you'll be able to picture my reaction when I removed the Rev 2 from its box. Yes, yes, yes... YES! Five octaves. Not three, nor four, but five! If I were allowed to level just one criticism at DSI's recent releases, it would be the widths of their keyboards, which render them of limited to use to me without hooking them up to a 61- or 76-note controller. But, like the Prophet 08, the Rev 2 provides a sensible complement of black & whites based upon the high-quality velocity- and pressure-sensitive keyboard mechanism found on the Prophet 6 and OB-6. Mind you, it wasn't just the width of the keyboard that elicited that response; it was the whole look and feel of the instrument, and its build quality. I've loved my Prophet 600 since I bought it in the mid-1980s and, for some sounds, I used it in preference to a Prophet 5 because there was (and still is) something about it that felt 'just right'. Today, with the exception of the position of the pitch-bend and modulation wheels, the Rev 2 feels much the same to me.
The gated sequencer window.At this point, I must admit that I was surprised when I heard that DSI had named their new baby the Prophet Rev 2 rather than the Prophet 16. But when I started to play it, I understood the decision. Despite boasting up to twice the number of voices, waveshaping, an expanded modulation matrix, digital effects and more, its underlying architecture and character is the same as that of the Prophet 08, to the extent that it's even compatible with Prophet 08 Programs. For me, this is great, but if you're not a fan of the '08, you might not agree. Anyway... I selected 'jump to current position' as my preferred method of using the knobs (it also offers pass-through and relative modes) and, in the absence of a Live Panel mode, invoked the basic template patch, and started programming. I immediately found that the diminutive size of the Rev 2 belies the power within, and was soon programming pads and ensembles of real depth, aetherial patches such as ghostly voices based on filtered noise (the low-pass filters tracked almost perfectly over a wide range), organs that use the filters as the fourth 'drawbar' per voice, electric pianos and other keyboards, and even sounds reminiscent of early digital synths. Of course, the Rev 2 also creates superb leads and basses, and does 'big vintage analogue', although an overdrive would have extended its capabilities in these areas even further. I also had great fun with the effects, for example, invoking a BBD delay with maximum feedback (so that it looped indefinitely) and using the MIDI Note number to control the delay time while arpeggiating suitable sounds. This not only changed the repeat speed as I played but also the pitches of the existing notes in the loop, which was fascinating. Imagine playing early Tangerine Dream tracks on a tape machine with an oval capstan while bouncing up and down on a boat in a force 10 storm. Exhilaration or seasickness? You decide.
The Rev 2 sports a genuine bi-timbral mode over MIDI that allows you to play the A Layers of any two Programs using adjacent MIDI channels, with voices 1-8 allocated to the first, and voices 9-16 allocated to the second. This makes it possible to play two sounds independently across the entire MIDI Note range, which is quite different from the splitting and layering available from the keyboard itself. When testing this, I encountered a few minor bugs, but I understand that these are about to be fixed in the latest OS, so there's no need to recount them here. Oh yes, and while we're talking about MIDI, the Rev 2 responds to polyphonic aftertouch over MIDI, which is an added bonus.
Of course, no synth is perfect, and I found a small handful of shortcomings. For example, you can't re-map the streams of MIDI CCs or NRPNs generated whenever you adjust a top panel or performance control, which would be useful is you wanted to use it to control other instruments and soft synths. Another niggle is the 1980s method of patch naming, but perhaps even more frustrating is the lack of a category search or any other shortcuts when recalling sounds; finding something specific in its capacious memory can be a long and exasperating exercise if you don't know roughly where it is or if you don't have the software editor/librarian (see box) to hand. Happily, I encountered almost no operational difficulties whatsoever. I'm aware that some people have reported a slight audio bleed when the filter is open but no note is being played, so I tested for this using an analogue mixer and found that the gain had to be so high that the background hiss and hum was far more significant than the bleed. Consequently, I think that this can be ignored. The only worrying moment I experienced during my time with the Rev 2 was on a single occasion when the oscillator and filter calibration routine froze. Power cycling unlocked it, and I was then able to calibrate the synth without a problem.
The Prophet 6, Prophet 12 and Prophet Rev 2 share many attributes but, having spent considerable time with each, I now appreciate the distinctions between them (see table). With its VCOs, Poly-Mod, mono-timbral architecture and 1970s sound, the Prophet 6 is the model that most resembles the earliest Prophets and will appeal to those who lust after a Prophet 5. In contrast, the digital oscillators and enhanced facilities of the Prophet 12 are more appropriate for players who require contemporary sound design capabilities. Between these sits the Rev 2; it's more advanced than the Prophet 6 but remains truer to the vintage ideal than the Prophet 12. Given its price, I can see it becoming the Prophet of choice for many players. Indeed, if money were tight and I were buying one for myself, the Rev 2 is probably the Prophet that I would choose.

The Rear Panel
The Rev 2 boasts independent stereo outputs for Layer A and Layer B, so you can use it as two independent analogue mono/polysynths. If you don't connect anything to the B outputs, both Layers are output from the A outputs, as you would expect. Next to these, you'll find a quarter-inch TRS stereo headphone socket that carries the same signal as the Layer A outputs, meaning that, if you have cables inserted into the B outputs, only Layer A is heard, which is a shortcoming.
There are three analogue control inputs. The operations of two of these are obvious: Sustain accepts a standard TRS sustain pedal, while Pedal/CV allows you to use an expression pedal or external CV as a source in the modulation matrix. The third — Sequencer — can be used with both a pedal or an external analogue signal to provide on/off commands for the sequence and the arpeggiator, or triggers to step through a sequence, or triggers and gates for the synth's contour generators.
Next to these you'll find a conventional set of MIDI in/out/thru sockets and a USB B socket that carries bi-directional MIDI but not audio. The Rev 2 is USB 2 class compliant, so no drivers are needed. Finally, there's an IEC socket for the internal, universal (100V-240V, 50Hz/60Hz) power supply.
In addition to being able to send Programs and Banks via MIDI to another Rev 2, you can export and reload Programs and Banks in SysEx format in the usual fashion. However, these are always reloaded into the locations from which they came, so it can be laborious remembering the position from which a given SysEx file originated, and later reordering your Programs to ensure that you don't overwrite anything important when reloading it.
The answer to this is the SoundTower SoundEditor. This makes visible all of the synth's parameters (including those otherwise accessible only through menus), provides a very welcome sequence editor and, in addition to conventional editing, incorporates SoundTower's usual additions for random Program generation, mixing, morphing, and mutating. But it's also a powerful librarian that allows you to reorder your sounds as well as assigning them to categories, which sorts out many issues. At the moment, only a stand-alone version is available, but an AU/VST version is promised, and this will make it possible to automate the Rev 2 fully from within your plug-in host.
It retains the character of the Prophet 08 but with much greater power and flexibility.
It's small, light and convenient, but feels solid and robust.
The keyboard feels good, and offers both velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.
It's cheaper than its siblings.
It can sound superb.
No wall-wart power supply.
There's no polyphonic unison mode.
You need to use two hands to transpose the sequencer.
There are no Program selection shortcuts.
Sometimes a polysynth appears that ticks almost all of the boxes and makes the transition from mere synthesizer to musical instrument. For me, the Rev 2 is one of these. Well done, Dave Smith and the team.

OAKLAND – Like many Americans, Warriors forward David West woke up Wednesday morning trying to make sense of it all.
And, like so many others, he could not.
Could not embrace that fact that so many of his fellow United States citizens actually embraced a brazenly bellicose – and stridently divisive – misogynist as their president.
"The message was loud and clear last night," West said of election results that will make Donald Trump the 45th president. "I don't think there's any room to not face the obvious truth: that he speaks for the majority of the people in this nation.
"His attitudes about black people and Muslim people, about women, about just about whatever group you can name, folks agreed with his position. And you can't deny that because folks voted for him.
West, 36, a product of working-class Teaneck, N.J., has been in the NBA for 13 seasons. He has made millions. Yet he clearly was surprised and disappointed with the voice of the electorate.
He wasn't the only Warriors to feel that way. Veteran forward Andre Iguodala was disappointed but hardly surprised, saying in recent months he sensed much the country moving toward the polarizing Republican nominee.
"This is what we thought was going to happen anyway," he said.
Iguodala, however, kept his most candid thoughts off the record. West did not.
"The things that he said, the things that he represented . . . that's the way the majority of this nation feels," West said of Trump. "He just emboldened them because he was able to say it publicly.

The White-tailed Jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii), Prairie Hare is a native of the western parts of North America. Although briefly reputed as an extinct species, according to some observations it is still found in the Yellowstone National Park.
Unlike other rabbits, the white-tailed jackrabbit is quite large in size with extra large ears. The color of its fur varies according to the season and the habitat. It becomes grayish brown or yellowish brown during summer and gray or white underneath. Its face and throat are darker. In southern regions, the back of these rabbits remains buff-grey while their sides turn white in winters. Since there is snow all over the northern regions, their coat also turns white. Their face, feet, back, and ears look light buff in color. Their tail remains white throughout the year and the ears are white at the edges.
The female is larger than the male. The total length of the body of a mature white-tailed jackrabbit is about 22 to 25.6 inches (56 to 65 cm) and its weight is 6.6 to 8.8 pounds (3 to 4 kg).
The white-tailed jackrabbit is most commonly found in grasslands, green pastures, and forests at high altitudes. It feeds on herbaceous plants and grasses. In winters, the food is scarce and so, they depend on barks and plants that come out of the snow.
Sometimes, more than ten leverets are born per litter with an average of five. The gestation period lasts for 5 to 6 weeks. The babies are fully furred at birth with their eyes open. The mother nurses the babies for about one month and then, they are weaned out.
White-tailed jackrabbits are very active all the year round and like to roost solitarily. They are very active in the morning, at late afternoon, and at evening when it is cool. The rest of the day, they rest in the shallow depressions at the base of bushes or in hollow spaces in snow. Males have occasional fierce battles but injuries are not seen on their bodies. Among other jackrabbits, the white-tailed jackrabbits occupy the greatest range. The home range of these rabbits extends up to 2 to 3 km in diameter. Their population fluctuates according to the availability of food. In the Northwest regions, their population has been reduced considerably due to the development of agriculture and overgrazing. The white-tailed jackrabbits have many predators like all lagomorphs.
These rabbits are found over a very wide range. Along to the west of Central Canada, they are found in south-central California. They also seem to exist in the United States in the southwest region of Ontario, south of Wisconsin, east of Alberta, and the Great Plains of Saskatchewan.

I found myself seated on a curved maple bench at a table, one of two benches and tables, watching a play, possibly Shakespeare, among a group of strangers on a campus. The experience, once I understood it, was interactive and wonderful, and some of the men around me seemed interested in me, although they didn't speak to me.
The cast of the play disappeared, and we went further into the building to find them. The male members were at a bar or restaurant counter, while the female members were lined up at a bathroom door.
It occurred to me that I was finally finishing my college degree, but then I forgot which classes I had already completed and which needed to be taken. Then I couldn't decide if I should start over and take all the classes, even the ones for which I had credit, as though doing so would change my grades or experience or path.
When I woke up, I wondered how many times I am going to dream about finishing a degree I received in 1983.

Großfürst Michail von Russland (, wiss. Transliteration Mihail Aleksandrovič Romanov; *  in Zarskoje Selo; † in der Nacht auf den 13. Juni 1918 nahe Perm) war der Bruder von Nikolaus II., dem letzten russischen Zaren.

Leben

Jugend
Michail Alexandrowitsch Romanow wurde als jüngster Sohn des späteren Zaren Alexander III. von Russland und seiner Frau Maria Fjodorowna in Sankt Petersburg geboren. Der Geburtstag des Fürsten fällt mit seinem Namenstag zusammen. In der Familie galt er als Lieblingssohn der Eltern, bei Verwandten und Freunden hieß er einfach "der liebe Mischa".

Schon als kleiner Junge stand ihm seine Schwester Olga (1882–1960) sehr nahe. Sie nannte ihn scherzhaft "Floppy", da er immer so schnell ausrutschte.

In seinen frühen Jahren führte Michail ein unbeschwertes Leben als Großfürst. Da der jüngste Sohn des Zaren in der Thronfolge eine untergeordnete Rolle spielte, konnte er sich, unbelastet von Politik und Staatsgeschäften, seiner Funktion als bedeutendes Mitglied der russischen Gesellschaft widmen. Ihm wurde eine besondere Hinneigung zu Autos, Sport und Pferderennen nachgesagt.

Thronfolger
Im Jahr 1899 änderte sich dies schlagartig. Sein älterer Bruder Georgi erkrankte an der Schwindsucht und starb unerwartet 28-jährig. Sein ältester Bruder Nikolaus, inzwischen Zar, hatte noch keinen männlichen Erben, wodurch Michail zum Zarewitsch wurde. Sein unbeschwertes Junggesellenleben war damit beendet. Dies änderte sich erst wieder mit der Geburt von Nikolaus' Sohn Alexei, bei dem allerdings die Bluterkrankheit diagnostiziert wurde, weshalb eine mögliche Thronfolge Michails weiterhin denkbar blieb.

Familie

Beatrice von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha
Die erste Frau, an der der Großfürst ernsthaftes Interesse zeigte, war die britisch-deutsche Prinzessin Beatrice von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (1884–1966), Tochter des Herzog Alfred von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha und dessen Gemahlin Maria Alexandrowna Romanowa, die er während eines Urlaubs 1902 kennengelernt hatte. Beide verliebten sich und wollten heiraten. Sie waren jedoch Cousin und Cousine ersten Grades (in europäischen Königshäusern häufig der Fall). Deshalb war eine Heirat nach den Bestimmungen der russisch-orthodoxen Kirche nicht gestattet. Michails Bruder Nikolaus verweigerte seine Zustimmung zur Vermählung. Michail fügte sich in sein Schicksal als Thronerbe und beendete seine Beziehung zu Beatrice. Diese traf dies schwer, und sie litt seelisch unter der Entscheidung Michails.

Alexandra Dina Kossikowskaja
Die nächste Frau, die sich Hoffnungen auf eine Heirat mit Michail machte, war die Hofdame seiner Schwester Olga. Die bürgerliche Alexandra "Dina" Kossikowskaja setzte alles daran, die Frau des Großfürsten zu werden – zumal Michail 1904 nicht mehr der direkte Thronfolger war. Michail wollte sie heiraten, aber wieder lehnte Nikolaus die erwählte Frau seines Bruders ab und drohte ihm mit Verbannung. Unter Druck gesetzt von dieser Frau und deren Vater, wollte der Großfürst sie an einem Ort in der Provinz heiraten. Als dies fehlschlug, wollten sie gemeinsam flüchten. Nikolaus setzte daraufhin Dina in St. Petersburg fest. Schließlich fügte sich Michail erneut in sein Schicksal. Dina wurde lebenslang ins Ausland verbannt.

Nathalie Sergejewna Brassowa

Michail diente als Rittmeister im Regiment der Leibgarde, in dem auch der Rittmeister Wulfert diente. Michail lernte dessen Frau, Nathalie, kennen und beide verliebten sich auf den ersten Blick ineinander. Da Nathalie verheiratet war, dies bereits zum zweiten Mal, und außerdem eine Tochter ("Tata" genannt) aus erster Ehe hatte, galt sie ebenfalls nicht als standesgemäße Braut eines russischen Großfürsten. Michail hielt jedoch das Verhältnis trotz der öffentlichen Meinung über seine Liaison aufrecht. Bald schon gab es Gerüchte am Hof, die der Zar nicht länger dulden wollte. Um den Ruf der Dynastie besorgt, schickte Nikolaus seinen Bruder in das Gouvernement Orjol. Er sollte dort das Kommando über ein Husarenregiment übernehmen und somit Abstand gewinnen. Die unerwünschte Verbindung erhielt Michail dennoch weiterhin aufrecht.

Im Jahr 1910 wurde sein Sohn Georgi unehelich geboren und galt somit als illegitim. In der Geburtsurkunde stand Vater unbekannt.

Die Familie ging ins Ausland, und am 30. Oktober 1912 heirateten der Großfürst Michail und Nathalie (Natascha) Sergejewna in der serbisch-orthodoxen Kirche zum Hl. Sava in Wien. Diese Eheschließung konnte nicht durch den russischen Hof oder die russisch-orthodoxe Kirche annulliert werden.

Die Ablehnung der geschlossenen Ehe durch Michails Bruder, den Zaren, und seine Mutter Maria Fjodorowna führte dazu, dass dem Ehepaar die Rückkehr nach Russland verwehrt wurde. Die Ehe wurde erst nach Ausbruch des Weltkriegs von Nikolaus als morganatische Ehe anerkannt. Nathalie wurde der Titel der Gräfin Brassowa verliehen. Ihr Sohn Georgi wurde im März 1915 als legitimer Nachkomme Michails anerkannt.

Erster Weltkrieg

Die Katastrophe des Ersten Weltkriegs brachte Nikolaus II. dazu, seinem Bruder zu verzeihen, und er erlaubte ihm die Rückkehr nach Russland. Der Großfürst begab sich bei Kriegsbeginn als Offizier der russischen Armee an die Front und übernahm das Kommando einer Kavalleriedivision, der sogenannten "Wilden Division".

Michail kämpfte mit seiner Einheit an der österreichischen Front, die sich bis weit in die Karpaten hineinzog. Im Verlauf der Kämpfe wurde die "Wilde Division" zum gefürchteten Gegner. Michail begnügte sich nicht damit, als Divisions-Kommandeur hinter den Linien Anweisungen zu geben. Die einfachen Soldaten wussten ihn oft auch an vorderster Front an ihrer Seite. Unter anderem dadurch war er bei seinen Soldaten sehr beliebt. Den Einsatz bei der Einnahme der Stadt Stanislau in den Karpaten im Februar 1915 belohnte der Zar mit der höchsten militärischen Auszeichnung, die vergeben wurde. Michail wurde der St. Georgs-Orden verliehen.

Revolution
Am 15. März 1917 musste Zar Nikolaus II. als Folge der Februarrevolution abdanken. In seinem Abdankungsmanifest entsagte er dem Thron und übergab das Zepter an seinen jüngeren Bruder Michail. Im ersten Moment glaubte Michail, dass er die Regentschaft für Alexei übernehmen sollte, nicht jedoch den Thron von Russland. Während er mancherorts bereits als Michail II. ausgerufen wurde, war der Großfürst selbst einer der Letzten, denen die Nachricht seiner formellen Thronfolge überbracht wurde. Im Chaos der Abdankung hatte Nikolaus versäumt, seinem Bruder ein Telegramm zu schicken, um ihn in Kenntnis zu setzen.

Abgesandte der provisorischen Regierung trafen sich im Taurischen Palast, wo die Übereinkunft getroffen wurde, dass der Großfürst Michail zum Thronverzicht überredet oder gedrängt werden sollte. Des Weiteren beschloss man, bei einer Weigerung des Großfürsten geschlossen zurückzutreten.

Am 16. März, bereits einen Tag nach Nikolaus' Abdankung, erklärte Michail in einem von dem liberalen Politiker Wladimir Nabokow entworfenen Schreiben an das russische Volk, dass die Machtbefugnisse zunächst an die provisorische Regierung übergingen und er bereit sei, die Thronfolge anzutreten, sofern das Volk zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt dies in geheimen Wahlen entscheiden sollte (mit Michail I. gab es in der Geschichte Russlands schon einmal einen gewählten Zaren). So hoffte Michail, die Monarchie in Russland erhalten zu können.

Nach seinem Thronverzicht lebte er für wenige Monate recht unbehelligt und unberührt von der Politik mit seiner Frau Natalija Brassowa in Gattschina, aber die neue provisorische Regierung war schwach, und man fürchtete bald eine monarchistische Konterrevolution, weshalb die Freiheiten der ganzen Familie Romanow zusehends eingeschränkt wurden.

Ab dem 21. August 1917 standen Michail, Natascha und Nicholas Johnson auf Anordnung von Alexander Kerenski unter Arrest. In Russland herrschte Chaos, und die Romanows begannen das Land zu verlassen, als Exil hatte man England gewählt. Der britische König Georg V. konnte oder wollte ihnen nicht die Einreise gewähren. Im Herbst 1917 begann die Oktoberrevolution, in der die Bolschewiki die Macht übernahmen.

Michail erkannte die von den neuen Machthabern ausgehende Gefahr für sich und seine Familie. In einem eigens angefertigten Dokument ließ er sich von den Bolschewiki bestätigen, dass seine Familie kein Feind der neuen Sowjetmacht sei. Wenige Tage danach ließ der Rat der Volkskommissare den "Bürger Michail Romanow" dennoch in die Verbannung nach Perm bringen. Seine Familie und einige Diener, u. a. sein englischer Sekretär Johnson, begleiteten ihn. Untergebracht in einem Hotel, wurden die Verbannten streng bewacht. Bedroht von Gefängnis, konnte er Natalija und Georgi überzeugen, Perm sofort zu verlassen.

Tod

Anfang Juni 1918 beschloss das Permer Parteikomitee der Bolschewiki eigenmächtig, den Großfürsten Michail Romanow umzubringen, damit er nicht zu den Truppen unter Admiral Koltschak überlaufen konnte. In der Nacht vom 12. auf den 13. Juni 1918 drangen bewaffnete Männer unter der Führung von Gawriil Mjasnikow in das Hotel ein, in dem der Großfürst festgesetzt war, und schafften ihn in einer Kutsche aus Perm heraus. Begleitet von seinem Sekretär Johnson wurde Michail Romanow in einen nahegelegenen Wald gebracht und beide wurden erschossen. Die Leichen wurden beraubt und im Wald vergraben. Das Grab des Großfürsten wurde nie gefunden.

Die Ermordung der Zarenfamilie wurde offiziell nicht sofort bekannt. Zunächst erfuhr die Öffentlichkeit nur, dass Nikolaus II. umgebracht worden war. Viele Monarchisten glaubten deswegen, dass Michail Alexandrowitsch Romanow weiterhin leben würde. Das führte dazu, dass der General der Weißen Armee  Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg sich im Jahr 1921 bei seinem Einmarsch in Sibirien zu Michail Alexandrowitsch Romanow bekannte.

Seed. Good to see you posting.
I went through a similar experience with my ex.
I moved into her house and helped with her mortgage.
Things were fine while I was employed and kicking in 2k a month. When I got laid off my income dropped and I started working around the house(remodeling) and doing laundry and cooking.
I thought it went both ways but the reality is that a lot of women pay lip service to gender equality but when they start having to be the bread-winner they freak out.
Finally one night she let a hurtful thing slip out: "You're lucky I let you live here"
I would never say something like that to my mate. That's when I knew I had to go.
The rent or mortgage payer has the power. That's the bottom line.
It's almost impossible to build a future with a girlfriend... it's difficult enough with a wife.
After reading through these it has made me go over things in my head. I think a lot of problems steam from me in all honesty.
I have spent years alone. Even when me and Kristen were dating a lot of the time saw me alone. When in Iraq, I spent most of my time alone when not on missions. Sitting in my bunk messing around on the internet. I am home now and I spend my time mostly in my room watching tv or messing around on the tv. It's like I have forgotten to interact with people or something.
How do you learn to interact again. I sounds stupid, especially coming from me, someone who loves hanging out with people and generally being around with people.
YOu get back in the saddle again, and do the best you can. IF you fall off again you dust yourself off again.... and do it again. Practice makes perfect.
You need to get a grasp on how doing what you have done for the last few years has changed you, in some ways for the better and some ways not. The readjustment to civilian life is way more difficult and filled with land minds then you even now realize.
There are a lot of government and NGO organizations who's mission it to assist you and other vets, but you will need to make a plan and then seek out help as needed.
It is great to see you on a2k asking questions, I bet that those who know you better and say that you can do this are correct.
Seed, we're interacting. But never mind that, move on out, if only in a light jog. Do that again and again, slowing when people are there to talk with.
haha yea we are totally interacting. but it is still me alone in my computer room. alone.
Do you have a neighborhood VFW or an American Legion?
Yea I do and I should probably go hang out with them. But I just dont know if I could or not. Just seems like its a part of my life I wanna put behind me.
That's fair. I subscribed the American Legion myself, never went to the local chapter as the conservative nature of the magazine scared me personally. Though I don't believe the local chapter would reflect that strain of conservatism.
Have you thought of volunteering to a neighborhood charity or organization? My doctor suggested it to me but I haven't followed up on it myself.
Still, if you were a natural socializer, (I'm not) then perhaps volunteering could be your social muse, non?
You can try to ignore those years of your life, but it will never work. Look at the last few months.....how is it going so far??
