Cover for the first Doom novel, Knee-deep in the Dead
The Doom novel series is a series of four near-future science fiction novels co-written by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver; Knee-Deep in the Dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky, and Endgame. The series is initially based on the Doom and Doom II first-person shooter video games created by Id Software, although there are multiple departures from the game in the first two novels, and the second two continue in an independent direction to the games' storylines. The novels are primarily written from the first-person perspective of Flynn Taggart, a corporal with the United States Marine Corps, although the perspective changes from character to character in the second and third novel.
On February 26, 2008, the series was rebooted and restarted in the vein of Doom 3. The first book, Worlds on Fire, was written by Matthew Costello, the original writer for Doom 3, and released by Pocket Star Books. The book stars Special Ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane in the year 2145.[1] The second in the series, Maelstrom, was released on March 31, 2009 and shares the same author and publisher.

Characters[edit | edit source]
Flynn Taggart[edit | edit source]
The primary protagonist and narrator of the series, Corporal Flynn "Fly" Taggart is a member of Fox Company, Fifteenth Light Drop Regiment, United States Marine Corps. His serial number is 888-23-9912. He was raised in a Catholic school, and while not overtly religious, believes in and respects the existence of God. He has great mechanical skill, having built a car from spare parts and scrap in his youth, and while not college educated, has considerable street smarts.
Initially to be court-martialled for striking a superior officer, Fly is one of the few people in a position to do anything when Fox is all but wiped out on Phobos. He heads into the base for the sole reason of learning the fate of Arlene Sanders who he has feelings for (albeit not romantic, more akin to brother-sister). He makes his way through Phobos alone, only encountering Arlene when he reaches Deimos.
While on Earth, the teenage Jill Lovelace falls for Fly, although he sees her as an adoptive daughter.
Fly is promoted twice in the novels, first to Sergeant, and later against his wishes to Lieutenant. He is considered the primary expert in fighting the "doom demons".
Arlene Sanders[edit | edit source]
The secondary protagonist, Private First Class Arlene "A.S." Sanders is also a member of Fox Company, and is Fly's best friend and motivation for entering the Union Aerospace Corporation facility on Phobos after the apparent massacre of Fox Company. She is the only character, apart from Fly, to appear in all four novels. However, she does not exist in the Doom fictional universe beyond the novel.
A scout with Fox Company, Arlene Sanders was the first woman permitted to join the company, after performing a William Tell routine with the company's Gunnery Sergeant, Goforth. She is in a relationship with another Fox Company marine, Wilhem Dodd, who is reworked into a zombie. She encounters the Dodd zombie while off-Earth. While on Earth, she develops a relationship with Albert Gallatin, and eventually marries him.
Arlene has one brother who was converted to Mormonism, which she believed was a cult. This puts an initial strain on her dealings with the Salt Lake City resistance. She is a full-blown atheist and seems to enjoy going out of her way to make her lack of beliefs known in a rather facetious manner, mainly towards Fly.
Her connection with Fly is seemingly deep-rooted; after the William Tell incident, he became her first friend in the Marines, and a valuable partner when Phobos and Deimos are invaded. The two have long ago worked through any sexual tensions, having gone through only a drunken kiss and they remain fast friends.
Albert Gallatin[edit | edit source]
A Marine Sharpshooter and a Mormon, Albert Gallatin is one of the soldiers assisting the Salt Lake City resistance. he is assigned by the Mormon Council of Twelve to assist Fly and Arlene in their mission to Los Angeles, during which the two fall in love. They eventually marry while on the Hyperrealist base, and when he is forced to remain behind while Fly and Arlene attack the Fred base, he returns to Earth and begins to study ways in which he can survive until Arlene finally returns home.
Jill Lovelace[edit | edit source]
A 14 year old computer hacker, Jill Lovelace is orphaned when her parents were killed by the invaders. She joins the Salt Lake City resistance, although more to kill demons than to protect the Mormon faith. She is rebellious and sarcastic, but becomes an integral part of the LA mission team.
She remains with Fly, Arlene, and Albert until they are sent into space to follow a signal transmitted by friendly aliens who had attempted to warn Earth of the impending invasion. Her attempts to return to the Hawaii base fall apart, although it is later revealed that she survived the war, writing a history of Fly and Arlene's adventures (the first two novels) and a treatise on the whole premise between the Hyperrealist-Deconstructionist war. At the end of the fourth novel, Jill exists as an AI within the rebuilt Salt Lake Tabernacle, and a clone which was not woken up within the novels.
Sears and Roebuck[edit | edit source]
Sears and Roebuck are a Klave pair, members of a binary alien race where everything is encountered in pairs. According to Fly, all Klave appear to be a cross between Alley Oop and Magilla Gorilla. Sears and Roebuck are assigned by the Hyperrealist aliens to help Fly and Arlene in the third and fourth novels. They stick with Fly and Arlene throughout the rest of the series after they are first introduced. Upon returning to Earth Sears and Roebuck leave Fly and Arlene to return to their home planet. This is the last time they are seen.
Plot[edit | edit source]
Knee Deep In The Dead[edit | edit source]
During an operation in the fictional setting Kerfiristan, Flynn Taggart manages to land himself in trouble after attacking Fox Company's commanding officer, Lieutenant Weems (this owing to Weems ordering his troops to fire on what turned out to be religious monks). Before Fly can be court martialled, a distress call is received from the Union Aerospace Corporation facility on Phobos, and he travels with the rest of the company to the Martian moon. Fox Company initially finds the facility abandoned, although they later encounter opposition, which quickly wipes out Fox Company.
Fearing for his best friend, Arlene Sanders, Fly forcibly "convinces" his guards to let him go and begins to make his way through the Phobos facility, encountering all manner of zombies and demons. The fate of Fly's guards is never revealed. He eventually encounters signs that Arlene survived the enemy assault, and begins to actively search for her, eventually leading him to a teleportation device, and then the abandoned Deimos base.
On Deimos, Fly finds Arlene, and the pair of them set forth with the combined goals of escaping and stopping an apparent invasion of Earth. As before, the pair continue through the base, fighting zombies, imps, and pinkie demons. They encounter what they dub a steam demon, and after defeating it, end up teleporting to a new location.
Encountering another living human, Bill Ritch, Fly and Arlene learn that UAC was responsible for activating the "Gate" on Deimos; an artifact left over from a long-vanished alien race. Bill also indicates that there is an "overmind" to the invasion, the spidermind. The trio manage to defeat the spidermind, albeit at the cost of Bill's life. Making their way to the surface of Deimos, Fly and Arlene discover that Deimos had been moved by the demons to Earth's orbit, and that the invasion of Earth was already underway. The pressure dome covering the Deimos facility is slowly leaking oxygen, and the pair will eventually die from oxygen starvation if they do not escape.
Hell on Earth[edit | edit source]
Building a rocket from spare parts, Fly and Arlene are able to escape from Deimos, although not before experiencing hallucinations due to the oxygen-weak environment. Trusting their lives to fate, the pair launch the spaceship without testing, and manage to survive re-entry, landing several days walk from Salt Lake City.
Arriving in Salt Lake City, Fly and Arlene learn that humanity is no longer the dominant species on earth, and that the United States government is working with the invaders. Salt Lake City is one of a handful of locations holding out against both the demons and the government. Fly and Arlene are taken by Albert Gallatin to meet the head of the resistance, the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Discovering that, like it or not, they cannot leave the city, Fly and Arlene attempt to contact HQMC, confirming the treachery of the government and alerting them to the Salt Lake City resistance.
Multiple armed forces are sent to Salt Lake City to detain or fight the resistance, including the United States Army, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Internal Revenue Service 'revenue collection' strike force. Discovering Fly and Arlene's treachery, the President of the Twelve offers the pair a chance at resolution; lead a strike team to Los Angeles, recover vital information, disable the shields erected around the city, and deliver the information to Hawaii, a resistance stronghold created by the American military. Included on this strike team are Albert Gallatin and Jill Lovelace.
During their trip west, Arlene becomes fond of Albert, despite heavily disagreeing with his religion. Sneaking aboard a westbound train, the four kill a spidermind and a steam demon while attempting to rescue a human hostage. The hostage, Ken, was modified by the invaders to become a cyborg, and is source of the vital information the group must retrieve. The group travel to an airport in Los Angeles, where Albert is wounded by an imp.
Albert, Jill, and Ken find and prepare an aircraft to fly to Hawaii, while Fly and Arlene attempt to take down the energy shield, housed within the Disney Building. They are able to deactivate the shield, but are trapped within the building by a large number of monsters.
Infernal Sky[edit | edit source]
Having arrived in Hawaii, Fly and Arlene are able to finally relax, but are quickly caught up in an incident involving zombies kept for research. They, along with Albert, are quickly assigned to a new mission: friendly aliens sent a message to Earth just prior to the invasion, and the trio, along with an officer named Esteban Hidalgo, are to travel back to Phobos, and use a Gate to travel to a destination outside the known solar system. Just prior to this briefing, Fly and Arlene are promoted to Sergeant and Lance Corporal respectively.
The three Marines, along with Hidalgo and Jill travel back to California, to reach a spacecraft. The Navy crew are late, but arrive and launch the ship, leaving Jill behind. She begins to make her way back to Hawaii, killing a pair of traitorous humans during her trip. The spacecraft spends a month and a half coasting towards Mars, after which the four Marines are delivered to Phobos. They fight their way to the Gate indicated by the alien's message, and step through.
Arriving at the alien base, later revealed to be beyond the orbit of Pluto, Fly, Arlene, and Albert encounter several alien species, although the only alien to pay any attention to the humans is Sears and Roebuck. The marines learn that humanity is of little interest to most of the aliens; the invasion of earth being of little more than a strategic move during a quiet period in an intergalactic war. This war is fought between two opposing schools of literary thought (hyperrealists and deconstructionists) over eleven pieces of prose left behind by the long deceased alien race responsible for building the Gates. Fly and Arlene also learn that there is no faster than light travel (although travel at velocities close to lightspeed), and that humanity is the only species in the galaxy that 'dies' or has religion.
The party of marines is recruited by Sears and Roebuck to assist on an attack on a Fred base; the Freds being the alien race responsible for the invasion of Earth. Albert is seriously injured during the preparation of the Klave starship. Hidalgo dies due to a teleporter mishap. Fly, Arlene, and Sears and Roebuck quickly complete the mission, but as they cannot return to their vessel. The four are forced to Gate onto a Fred ship, disabling the crew in hand-to-hand combat.
Endgame[edit | edit source]
Traveling on the captured Fred ship towards the alien's homeworld, Fly attempts to while away the time on the 2 month/200 year journey while dealing with Arlene, who is depressed about not being able to see Albert again, and Sears and Roebuck, who are convinced that they are locked on a suicide mission. Eventually, Fly rallies the group to begin training and preparing for defensive action following the landing on the Fred's homeworld, planning to take as many of the Freds with them as possible.
Arriving on "Fredworld", the quartet find the planet deserted. They learn from reanimating a Fred body that the planet was invaded by the "Newbies", a new race of aliens that learn and evolve at a rapid rate. The marines find a Newbie, who leads them to a planet 120 light years from the Fred homeworld. During the voyage, the captured Newbie attempts to change the ship's course, expending all the braking fuel before he is killed by Fly. Sears and Roebuck are forced to decelerate the 3.7 km ship via friction and air-breaking in the planet's atmosphere, during which the stresses on the ship, assisted by a hit from a weapon on the surface, destroy the vessel as it crashes into the planet.
The quartet survive the crash and seek out the weapon, discovering humans. They are captured and taken to a human starship, where Fly and Arlene learn that the war is over, although humanity has become a communistic race, exhibiting extreme amounts of social atomism and an extreme fear of death. The marines discover that the Newbies are infecting the humans, existing at the same level as DNA. Fly figures out that a human with faith in something cannot be "infected", and stages a rebellion on the ship. The rebellion is defeated, Sears and Roebuck are killed, and Fly and Arlene have their souls (or copies of their souls) placed in a computer simulation of Phobos and Deimos.
In the simulation, Fly figures out that the programming is influenced by his memories; by lying to himself, he is able to alter what happened. He collects a force of imps, zombies, and other demons on his quest for Arlene, and they later find a Newbie soul in the program, which, aided by the mind-directed simulation, evolves out of existence. A trapped Fly and Arlene decide they will attempt to remember the invasion as an outright defeat for the Freds, creating a Utopia for themselves; if this works is not revealed in the books. This makeshift army eventually entraps the 'essence' of one of their adversaries, a 'Newbie'. This essence evolves fairly quickly into a form unconcerned with basic reality.
Outside the ship, Fly and Arlene wake up. The "soul-sucking" computer cannot remove human souls completely. Along with their faithful (the humans worshiping Fly) and the bodies of Sears and Roebuck, they escape incineration by the launching human starship. They travel to the destroyed remains of the Fred ship that took them to the planet in the first place, and find an intact and working med-lab. Using this lab, they figure out that it works using symbols. Finding a symbol that looks as close to the Klave as they can, they shove Sears (or Roebuck, they don't know which) into a drawer-like part of the lab and activate the machine, reviving the body of Sears or Roebuck, who then revives his counterpart. After Sears and Roebuck is revived, they find an intact escape pod that was not destroyed in the wreck and use it to get into the orbit of the planet, and take another ship from the planet's artificial moon. They chase after the Newbie-human ship, which is heading for Earth, although on arrival, they discover that the Newbies never arrived, likely having evolved out of existence as well (as affected by the Newbie soul the game-force had captured). Landing at a rebuilt Salt Lake City (which was destroyed by nuclear weapons in the third novel), Fly and Arlene head to the Tabernacle to find out what happened to Jill and Albert. The pair encounter an AI and a clone of Jill, and a black box with a glowing light simply labeled as "Albert", which presumably contains his intellect (Fly and Arlene discover that Albert spent many years researching a way to extend the human lifespan so that he would be able to see Arlene again).
Differences[edit | edit source]
There are several major differences between the games and the novels. These are listed below.
In the games the Doomguy has no name. id software's unused[2] design document, The Doom Bible, suggested the name Buddy Dacote ("Dacote" standing for "Dies at conclusion of this episode").[3]
The demons are creatures genetically engineered by the Freds, and are not actual demons from hell. In addition, the Marines do not travel to an actual Hell at any point in the novels.
The background of the series is that of an intergalactic war fought at sublight speeds, of which Earth is the site of an almost insignificant conflict.
In the game, imps (also referred to by the name 'spiny' in the novels) are demonic and are able to conjure fire from their hands to use as missile weapons. In keeping with the book's more science fiction theme, the imps in the book possess a napalm-type mucus that they spit into their hands and throw. Much later, i.d. Software used this idea for the imps in Doom 3.[citation needed]
Likewise, the Barons of Hell (called 'Hell Princes' in the book), large minotaur-like goatmen, conjure green flames with their hands to hurl at the player, while the book describes them as using wrist-mounted plasma launchers.
In the game, Lost Souls are most likely just that; souls damned for eternity, appearing as flying, horned, flaming skulls. In the book (in which they are named 'Flying Skulls'), to keep with the science fiction theme, they are instead mechanical skulls with rocket engines attached to them.

No surgery for McNabb -- for now
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb of Philadelphia, who suffered but played on a fractured right ankle last Sunday, has decided to hold of on having the injury surgically repaired.
McNabb, who is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, the normal time for the type of break he suffered to go through the healing and rehabilitation process.
He went to Texas Wednesday for a thorough examination.
"McNabb was examined by Dr. Kevin Varner, a foot and ankle specialist at the Baylor College of Medicine at Methodist Hospital in Houston," the team said Thursday in a statement through McNabb. "At this time, McNabb is back in Philadelphia and is in a cast, and will remain casted until he is reexamined by Dr. Varner in approximately two weeks."
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Thursday that two doctors feel McNabb was lucky, especially because the ankle was not twisted after the break. That would have made surgery inevitable.
"I don't think any significant or undue damage occurred," Dr. John Kelly, who played offensive tackle as an undergraduate at Columbia University, told the paper.
"In most cases, leaving this (injury) alone to heal on its own would be the optimal way to handle this," said Dr. Steven Raikin, Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. "There is no question that his youth and physical condition are very much on his side."
McNabb, the NFL's highest-paid player, was injured on the game's first series when he was sacked by Cardinals linebacker LeVar Woods and safety Adrian Wilson. He fumbled on the play and stayed on the turf, clutching his leg.
Despite the injury, he returned to the game with his ankle heavily taped and with a noticeable limp, but gave a courageous effort, completing 20-of-25 passes for 255 yards while matching a career high with four touchdown passes in the Eagles' 38-14 victory.
McNabb initially was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, and that was the information used by Coach Andy Reid, who has been bombarded with questions this week about why he let McNabb continue to play.
McNabb, who did admit he played in pain, finally left the game with less than five minutes remaining.
Losing McNabb, 25, is a devastating blow for the Eagles (7-3), who lead the NFC East by one game over the New York Giants (6-4). He took the Eagles to the NFC championship game last season.
He accounted for 65 percent of his club's offense this season, throwing for 2,289 yards with 17 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 460 yards rushing and six touchdowns.

Q: Wrap jQuery buttonset I have a jquery buttonset that is populated dynamically. The only problem is that if there are too many dynamically added buttons, they wrap onto the next line, and don't do it gracefully. Here is what displays:
(element a|about|us|lorem|
|ipsum|and|done)
The main problem with this is that the element on the far right of the first line, and the element on the far left of the second line don't have rounded corners, they have square corners like all the other button elements that aren't in the first or last position of the buttonset. Is there anyways to get a display like so?
(element a|about|us|lorem)
(ipsum|and|done)
Thanks!

A: Using offset() as Peter said is definitely the right direction.  After finding the right elements all you need to do is add the .ui-corner-right and .ui-corner-left classes.
$("#box label").each(function(){   //loop through all the labels for the buttons
    var self = $(this);
    if( self.offset().top > self.height() ){ //find the first element on the second line
        self.addClass("ui-corner-left")
        .prev().prev().addClass("ui-corner-right") // move to the previous label on the above line
        return false;  // break out of the .each
   }
});

http://jsfiddle.net/KEfau/  Of course this only works for things that are on two lines and the conidition inside the .each() might be different depending on your layout.  For multiple lines of buttons I would have a variable which stores the current top offset of the line then when an element doesn't match it do the class additions.

A: You could try to detect the linebreak with jQuery offset() and set the item before the break to the same class as you last, and the item after the break to the same class as your first. I'm not sure if this will work, depends on how the elements get their rounded corners, I'm not realy familiar with jQuery-ui

Escapes: Taking a different path in Puerto Vallarta
A trail that hugs the shore takes hikers from Boca de Tomatlán to Quimixto in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
(Dania Maxwell / Los Angeles Times)
By Catharine HammTravel Editor
We travel to escape the noise, the numbers and the words that don't make sense, as William Wordsworth wrote in "When the World Is Too Much With Us." But sometimes, when we arrive at our destination, the noise doesn't stop. Time for Wordsworth's "womb of Mother Nature," which is the delight in our lead story this week about a place beyond beloved Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
We offer other safety valves as well, from free museum visits to an off-season trip to a watery wonderland in the desert Southwest. We add ideas on safety if you're taking a pleasure boat excursion, a guide to the best that oyster bars in Vegas have to offer (it's not oysters) and an article brimming with ideas on how to save money here and abroad with passes. Then there's a guide on how to spend money — correctly — on tips so you ensure you're taking care of those who are taking care of you.
All of this and more, plus a peek inside the excruciating process of preparing our annual summer vacation photo issue.
Step aside, world. We have places to go and things to see.
Writer Barbara Ramsay Orr loves Puerto Vallarta, so much so that she and her husband have escaped their last nine Canadian winters there. "We have come to know the place well and continue to value the vibrant culture and relaxed lifestyle," she said in an email. But sometimes it overflows with expats.
One day, she stumbled on the signs for the hiking path she describes in her piece on escaping the city's din.
"I was astonished at the untouched beaches and pristine jungle trails. … I felt I had found a slice of real Mexico at its best. Since then I have dragged every guest who visits us along this hiking route, and they have, without exception, fallen for its seductive charms as completely as I did. It is as if I have shared a secret with them." And now she's shared it with you.
88 museums to visit for free
Mark Sept. 21 on your calendar. That's the day you can be admitted to 88 museums for free. By registering, Mary Forgione writes, you get, thanks to Smithsonian magazine, a ticket good for two to such institutions as the Autry Museum of the American West in Griffith Park, the Catalina Island Museum and others farther afield, including one of my all-time favorites, the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas.

And speaking of saving money
George Hobica loves travel and loves helping people save money, he told me recently. The proof: He has assembled a list of money-saving passes that bundle into one ticket museum attractions and the like, and also a list of rail passes that can cut your costs. (Having recently used the SwissPass, which he mentions, I can attest to its money-saving prowess.)
Saving in the off-season at Lake Powell
Whether you've sent the kids off to college or want a family escape that won't cost a fortune, think Lake Powell Resort, Jay Jones writes. You can enjoy spacious accommodations that can house a few or a flock, and with a wonderful water view. Plus, a chopper can take you on an amazing journey.

The tragic fire that killed 34 people on the dive boat the Conception raises questions about the safety and security of such vessels. Christopher Reynolds helps you ask the right questions as you assess the safety of such excursions.
What do you order at an oyster bar? Um, guess again
Michael Hiller talks about three noteworthy oyster bars in Las Vegas, but he suggests not ordering the oysters there — not because they're not good but because if you slurp up a whole bunch of the bivalves, you may not have room for the real star of the show. A pan roast, he writes, is an "alchemy of seafood, roasted tomatoes, clam juice and a kick of spice, all bubbled in cream." Yes, please.
Jacqueline McMillion has been cooking pan roasts at the Oyster Bar at Harrah's Las Vegas since the restaurant opened 13 years ago.

Everything on our reading plate this week seems to have to do with water. To wit:
▶This is now on my bucket list. Cenote Xlacah, about 17 miles from the Yucatecan city of Mérida, Mexico, is a double pleasure: You can admire Maya ruins while swimming in a cenote, or sinkhole, one of many you'll find in the Yucatán, Atlas Obscura reports. And you know those little fish that nibble dead skin off your feet? They're said to be present here. That may or may not be a bonus experience for you.
▶A lack of water has led to the discovery of Spain's Stonehenge. There is such a drought in the Extremadura region that the Valdecañas Reservoir has shrunk and uncovered the Dolmen of Guadalperal, about 100 megaliths that are seven millennia old, Alyssa McMurtry writes, also in Atlas Obscura. Given how weird the weather is all over the world, the time to see these is now, lest Mother Nature send restorative rains.
▶After wreaking massive destruction in the Bahamas, Hurricane Dorian uncovered some Civil War relics in South Carolina, Meilan Solly writes in Smithsonian. Two people walking on Folly Beach, about 12 miles south of Charleston, found what they reportedly thought were rocks but turned out to be cannonballs. But since no one knows whether they are the kind that smash holes in ships or actually pack an explosive, they may be destroyed.
After Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, Civil War-era cannonballs (pictured in this 2016 file photo) were found in Folly Beach, S.C. After the recent Hurricane Dorian, a couple combing the same beach found more of the projectiles.

A Crack at the Edge of the World: Simon Winchester's Latest Covers the SF Earthquake
by sumo nova
If you've ever read a Simon Winchester book, you know that it is all about the tangents- a simple concept going in one direction ends up with Winchester going off in eight different tangents, and subtly, without your realizing just when it happens, you end up in several different places you never expected to be.
This is done to perfection in his latest book, "A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906. It begins, predictably, with the history of the city, told only as Winchester can. His details in chapter after chapter of the city's history eventually make you forget what the book was about and just revel in the meticulously detailed history. The images of the expensive waterfront properties, and the ship owners who just crashed their ships onto the shore and started businesses in them is priceless, as is the highly detailed stories of those living in thousands of tents until enough homes could be built for themin this quickly-growing city.
The book is backed up with newspaper articles, lawsuits, eyewitness accounts, and many black and white photographs interspersed throughout the book. A picture and story about Ansel Adams revealed that the famous photographer actually survived the earthquake at the age of four, breaking his nose during the quake, giving him his famously crooked nose.
By the time the earthquake events begin, the book is half over, and the events tear down the city that you have gotten to know well, much as it must have been like to the actual inhabitants. Never content to cover only one aspect of an event, Winchester ties together the eyewitness stories, the police versions, the legal ramifications, the mortality and injury rates, and the actual plate tektonics that made it all happen.
The dizzying array of perspectives ends in a fascinating theory about how plate tektonics effect the actual human cultures and civilizations that live near each of the tektonic regions. It sounds a little strange, but his careful description of many civilizations, together with pictures and maps of the regions that they live in, does make the theory sound valid. The hot-headed, constantly-changing atmosphere of California populations and culture, for instance, mirrors the coming together of three fast-changing plates. The calm, quiet and civilized peoples of Iceland, nowever, live at the calmest end of the largest of those plates.
If you like this one, you will mostly likely want to read Winchester's The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary, and Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, both similarly constructed in scope and design. In these books, as in A Crack at the Edge of the World, Winchester proves that it doesn't really matter what he is writing about, he will make it into something strangely compelling.

Sweep picking, Sweeping ou somente Sweep é uma técnica usada na guitarra em que a palheta move-se como uma vassoura (do inglês sweep: varrer); isto, combinado com o movimento correspondente da mão esquerda ou mão dos trastes (mão direita para os canhotos) produzindo uma série de notas de sonoridade rápida e fluida. É necessário total sincronismo entre as duas mãos para se obter o efeito de forma fluente.

Explicação
Em relação à mão esquerda (ou dos trastes), o sweep ocorre quando várias cordas adjacentes são articuladas, ou controladas com precisão pelos dedos, de tal forma que soem em sucessão sem soar juntas (ao contrário dos acordes com pestana, em que todas as cordas são pressionadas durante o mesmo ataque da palheta).  A impressão é que os dedos "rolam" em direção às notas desejadas. A mão assume uma forma bem parecida com a de um acorde, mas ao invés de levantarem completamente, cada dedo primeiro segura a nota para produzir o som, e em seguida faz um movimento leve, porém rápido, a fim de abafar a nota (mute) permanecendo em contato com a corda. Aperfeiçoando este movimento, executando-o em sequência nas cordas (enquanto se está levantando o dedo para abafar uma corda, o dedo da corda seguinte já começa a descer), pode-se tocar com grande velocidade, devido à memória muscular.

Juntamente com este movimento, a palheta executa um único ataque passando por todas as cordas, desde em cima até embaixo, ou vice-versa, similar ao modo como se toca um acorde. A principal diferença entre tocar um acorde de maneira normal e com sweep é que nesse último é requerida uma meticulosa sincronia entre o movimento da mão esquerda e o ataque da palheta em cada corda, assegurando-se que cada nota soe individualmente; ao contrário do acorde normal, em que o movimento mais rítmico da palheta faz as notas soarem praticamente em uníssono. Ou seja, o guitarrista deve ter cuidado para não mover a palheta rápido demais (ou lento demais) em relação ao movimento da mão dos trastes, o que requer considerável habilidade e treino.

Aplicação

A técnica é usada quase que exclusivamente para arpejos sendo bastante comum o formato de tríades empilhadas em uma ou duas oitavas; ou, em termos escalares, a primeira (ou tônica), terça (ou mediante) e quinta (ou dominante) de uma escala, repetida duas vezes com uma tônica adicional no ponto mais agudo do formato. Por exemplo, uma tríade de lá menor (Am) seria escrita como lá-dó-mi-lá-dó-mi-lá (A-C-E-A-C-E-A). Quando essa sequência de notas é tocada velozmente para cima e para baixo como um arpejo, sua sonoridade é notavelmente clássica, em contraste a outras progressões baseadas no Blues. A capacidade de mover esse formato ao longo do braço para causar (ou por causa da) mudança de acordes torna-se muitas vezes a escolha primária de muitos guitarristas.

Licks (frases principais) com sweep foram popularizados por uma legião de "Shredders" durante o boom Neo-clássico nos anos 80, tais como Richie Kotzen, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Frank Gambale, Tony McAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo Batio e Marty Friedman, embora artistas de diferentes estilos como Steve Vai e Alan Holdsworth frequentemente usem sweep picking em suas composições. O primeiro guitarrista de rock a usar esta técnica de forma mais clara e definida foi, provavelmente, Ritchie Blackmore; é possível vê-lo utilizando-a em apresentação ao vivo de 1969, como o Deep Purple Live in Bilzen.

Quando comparada a outras técnicas comumente usadas pelos "shredders", como o trêmolo de palheta, o sweep picking usa um número econômico de palhetadas, embora cada sweep possa ser visto como um conjunto de 3 a 5 ataques, pois cada vez que a palheta atinge a corda pode ser contado como um ataque. Entretanto, em certos casos, usam-se ligaduras (legato) para soar as notas, em vez da palheta, principalmente nas partes mais agudas e mais graves de um arpejo, onde palhetadas sucessivas na mesma corda cancelariam o efeito fluido desejado no sweep. Isto acontece quando, num acorde, uma determinada corda possui duas notas.

Exemplos
Uma maneira básica de usar essa técnica é o uso das três cordas mais agudas (primas), já que as cordas graves (bordões) requerem mais destreza para serem tocadas com a mesma clareza. Nesse caso específico, vemos o arpejo como o registro superior de um sweep padrão de 5 cordas, onde as notas para lá menor (Am) são, em ordem ascendente, A-C-E-A-C-E-A. Começando na tônica do meio, sobe-se a escala e retorna-se à tônica inicial (A-C-E-A-E-C-A). Numa tablatura na 12ª posição, ficaria assim:

E|--------12-17-12--------
B|-----13----------13-----
G|--14----------------14--
D|------------------------
A|------------------------
E|------------------------

Se adicionarmos continuarmos pela oitava inferior do arpejo, o formato completo fica assim:

E|------------------12-17-12-----------------
B|---------------13----------13--------------
G|------------14----------------14-----------
D|---------14----------------------14--------
A|---12-15----------------------------15-12--
E|-------------------------------------------

Observe que no meio da sequência (3ª e 4ª cordas), toca-se a mesma casa para as duas cordas. Nesse caso, pode-se usar a ponta do dedo na corda inicial (a 4ª, no movimento para baixo), e a falange do mesmo dedo na corda seguinte, como uma pequena pestana. No movimento para cima, inverte-se o movimento: usa-se a falange na 3ª corda, e depois a ponta na 4ª. Note também que na corda mais grave e na mais aguda duas notas devem ser tocadas em seguida na mesma corda; é nesse caso que o legato é normalmente usado, para manter a fluidez da sonoridade e do movimento da palheta.

O som das notas no arpejo pode ser obtido através de várias técnicas, como mudança na articulação da palheta, legato (hammer-ons/pull-offs), ou, em alguns casos, ligaduras com arrasto (legato slides), usado mais raramente devido ao grande controle necessário para se deslizar até um ponto preciso da corda. Steve Vai e Shane Gibson usam esse recurso com fluidez. Sweeps também podem ser expandidos por tapping (como usado por Michael Angelo Batio e Tony McAlpine), permitindo tocar notas além da sequência de arpejo normal.

Abaixo estão as notas da tríade de Am; depois das 6 primeiras que notas seguem o padrão normal, toca-se o E através de tapping, o que abre espaço para tocar as notas D,C e B via pull-offs.

""= Tapped ()= Pull-off.

i.e. A-C-E-A-C-"E"-(D)-(C)-(B)-A-E-C-A

Ascendente Descendente

Observe que apesar da duração do arpejo aumentar, parte da fluidez naural do arpejo é perdida devido à inclusão de notas de passagem, o que pode ser não desejado quando se busca uma sonoridade mais clássica.

Guitarristas que dominam a técnica
Dominado com maestria, o sweep picking pode ser aplicado a praticamente qualquer ideia além de arpejos, o que é tido por muitos como um sinal de virtuosidade e domínio técnico do instrumento. O sweep picking é utilizado por guitarristas como:

Ritchie Blackmore

UPDATE: Sixth Circuit Will Hear Legal Challenges to OSHA's Mandatory Vaccination and Testing Standard
Know How:

Stay up-to-date with industry knowledge!
Related Service:
On November 5, 2021, OSHA published its Emergency Temporary Standard ("ETS"), requiring private employers with 100 or more employees to establish, implement, and enforce a written mandatory vaccination or testing policy.
Since then, at least 34 lawsuits challenging the ETS have been filed in U.S. Courts of Appeals across the country. One of those challenges was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (which hears federal appeals from Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi). The Fifth Circuit recently issued and later reaffirmed a Stay, temporarily barring the ETS from coming into effect and ordering OSHA to stop all implementation and enforcement activities.
On Tuesday, November 16, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (which hears federal appeals from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee) was selected by lottery to hear legal challenges raised against the ETS. Under the rules governing multi-circuit litigation, all the petitions now will be consolidated and reviewed by the Sixth Circuit, which will decide whether to uphold or overturn the ETS and may also decide whether to lift or affirm the Fifth Circuit's Stay.
After the Sixth Circuit issues its decision, the litigation might proceed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which would have the final say about whether the ETS survives. But the Supreme Court can decide whether it wants to become involved; at this point, it is not possible to say when, or whether, that might happen.
While the litigation proceeds, employers would be well-advised to continue their efforts to create policies and procedures to comply with the ETS. The ETS calls for covered employers to determine the vaccination status of its employees and enforce a mask mandate by December 6, 2021, then ensure by January 4, 2022, that unvaccinated employees are tested weekly. Waiting for clarity from the courts may leave little time to prepare and meet the compliance deadlines, should the ETS survive.
For questions about this alert, please contact the authors and the Steptoe & Johnson Labor & Employment Team.

From the [web page](http://sonarqube.org):
"The SonarQube® platform is an open source quality management platform, dedicated to continuously analyzing and measuring the technical quality of source code, from project portfolio down to the method level"

It can analyze a lot of different programming languages, from PHP, Erlang, CSS to Cobol. C# can be installed
with an additional plugin. This must be done on the SonarQube server.
To support the analysis process on a build server, an additional command line tool called "MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe"
must be used. The SonarQube module in FAKE provides a function 'SonarQube' to call this tool with the needed parameters.

This function must be called twice, once at the beginning of the compilation process and once after
compilation has finished. The result is then collected and sent to the SonarQube server.

## Minimal working example

    Target "BeginSonarQube" (fun _ ->
      SonarQube Begin (fun p ->
        {p with
         Key = "MyProject"
         Name = "Main solution"
         Version = "1.0.0" }
        )
      )

    Target "EndSonarQube" (fun _ ->
      SonarQubeEnd()
    )

    Target "Default" DoNothing

    "Clean"
      ==> "SetAssemblyInfo"
      ==> "BeginSonarQube"
      ==> "Build" <=> "BuildTests"
      ==> "EndSonarQube"
      ==> "RunTests"
      ==> "Deploy"
      ==> "Default"

    RunTargetOrDefault "Default"

By default, the SonarQube module looks for the MSBuild runner in the 'tools/SonarQube' directory. This can be overwritten using the ToolsPath property of the parameters.

## Additional options for SonarQube

* You can send additional global settings  to the server with the '/d:' parameter.
In the SonarQubeParams, this is the new field Settings:

      SonarQube Begin (fun p ->
        {p with
         Key = "MyProject"
         Name = "Main solution"
         Version = "1.0.0"
         Settings = ["sonar.debug"; "sonar.newversion"] }
        )

* Configuration can also be read from a configuration file. This is the '/s:' parameter.
This can be done with the new field Config:

      SonarQube Begin (fun p ->
        {p with
         Key = "MyProject"

Window cleaning in the sky scraper age has become a daredevil job.
M/S of a woman sitting on a window sill cleaning her windows in a suburban street. M/S man, with a waist belt and rope cleaning windows on the outside of a high rise building, Bucklersbury House. St Paul's can be seen in the background. He goes inside at another building in Fleet Street and cleans the window from inside. He has 'Westminster' on his white overalls.
From ground level we pan up to two men cleaning windows from a cradle high up on the Watney's building in Palace Street. At an Essex power station, the Belvedere Electricity Power Station, a 'spider man' uses a bosun's chair, strung from the top of the building to clean the windows.They all wok for the Westminster Cleaning Company.
In Norwich, a man has bought a fire engine to turn into a window cleaning cradle. The giant ladders can be raised to reach tall blocks. The engine has been painted yellow and we see the 140 foot power operated ladder being raised. There is shot looking down the ladder from the top. Through a window, we see a man in the cradle at the top of the ladder using a cloth to wipe the window.

Driven To The Brink: Tippi Hedren And Alfred Hitchock, Documented In The Girl
By Hayley Avron in Movies / TV / Theatre on 24 December 2012

Alfred Hitchcock Tippi Hedren
"To be the object of someone's obsession is horrible," said Tippi Hedren, the actress who was very much the object of Alfred Hitchcock's affections, for a large part of his career. Hedren's tale of abuse and sexual harassment, whilst she was filming Hitchcock's movies, such as The Birds and Marnie, is detailed in Donald Spoto's biography of Hitchcock's life and has now been committed to screen in The Girl, a BBC and HBO drama starring Sienna Miller as Tippi and Toby Jones in the role of the controlling movie director.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Hedren reveals that she told Miller to make sure that she was portrayed as a strong woman. "I wanted to make sure she understood where I was coming from," she explained. "He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman. There was no way he was going to get the better of me."
Hedren also describes how she was conned into filming scenes in The Birds in which she was attacked by actual ravens, as opposed to the mechanical birds that were used elsewhere in the movie. After being pecked to within an inch of her life, the doctor ordered her to rest, much to Hitchcock's chagrin. "She can't rest for a week, we have nobody else to film," came the unflinching director's response. At the point that their relationship imploded, Hedren refused to speak to him, other than through intermediaries. He refused to call her by her name, referring to her only as The Girl.

WOOSTER -- There were many different plot lines in the hours leading up to the opening pitch of the Dix Communications All-Star Baseball Game.
It took exactly one inning for all those questions to be answered. The East used a nine-run outburst in the bottom of the first to run away with a 20-3 win at The College of Wooster's Art Murray Field.
Orrville's Brad Thomas, who's headed to Ashland University to play baseball, was named the game's MVP. He notched the win with three no-hit innings to start the game, notched three strikeouts and at the plate went 1-for-2 with three walks and four RBI.
"I had a great time," Thomas said. "I'm glad we played a full nine innings, because I was just having a lot of fun with all of these guys on the East team.

Cristallographic structures of austenitic and martensitic hydrides of Ti0.64Zr0.36Ni intermetallic compound
TiNi alloy is polymorphic. It exhibits a martensitic transition near room temperature between a cubic CsCl-type (austenite) and a monoclinic TiNi-type (martensite) structure. This transformation is at the origin of its shape memory effect. In addition, TiNi has good hydrogen storage properties under normal conditions of pressure and temperature. In austenic form, TiNi absorbs 1.4 H/f.u. under atmospheric pressure.
Anisotropic reinforcement of nanocomposites tuned by by magnetic orientation of the filler network.
The improvement of the mechanical properties of polymer films by inclusion of mineral particles is a well known industrial practice used since the end of the XIX century. A classical example is the rubber industry for which the addition of carbon black as fillers permits to increase the elastic modulus of the pneumatics. Nevertheless, the mechanisms which govern the reinforcement properties are still not completely described by experiments and theory.
Control of roughness at interfaces and the impact on charge mobility in all-polymer field-effect transistors.
Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices using solution processing technologies. The fabrication of good quality field-effect transistors (FETs) is crucial to a number of polymer-based devices, such as active matrix displays and integrated circuits. Central to FET operation is the dielectric/semiconductor interface.
Coupling of laser excitation and inelastic neutron scattering measurement.
Light-harvesting antennae are pigment-protein complexes involved in light-absorption and excitation energy transfer (EET) to the so-called "reaction center" complexes, where the photochemical processes of photosynthesis take place. C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is one component of the phycobilisome, the light-harvesting system of cyanobacteria [1]. In phycobilisomes, EET is a highly efficient key event [2-3], where light-induced dynamics of the antenna pigment/protein complexes may play a role [4-7].

Electronic liquid crystal state in high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O6.45
The strongly interacting conduction electrons can be accurately represented as a gas of weakly interacting electron-like excitations. This description, known as Fermi liquid theory, works for many metallic systems. However, over the past two decades, new types of metallic materials with strongly correlated electrons have been discovered that do not fit this standard description. The list includes the superconducting copper oxides and many other materials. More...

Influence of macromolecular crowding on protein stability.
Following the synthesis by the ribosome, to carry out its biological function, a protein much fold into a single, well defined conformational state: the native state. Protein folding is thus the physico-chemical process by which a polypeptidic chain undergoes a structural change from an ensemble of coil like structure up to the unique structure encoded in its amino-acid sequence. This process is fascinating and remains one of the most challenging problems of structural biology.
Influence of the alteration layer morphology on the silicate glass corrosion mechanism : role of Ca and Zr
This study investigates the long term behavior of glasses used for confinement of nuclear wastes. The results have been obtained from a fruitful collaboration between different CEA laboratories (LLB, LIONS, CEA Marcoule) and the Ecole Polytechnique. The corrosion process of the glasses by water creates at the glass surfaces, an alteration porous layer, hydrated and amorphous, called "gel".

Neutrons and water structure: the heavy water bridge.
In 1893 Sir William Armstrong reported a remarkable experiment: if a high voltage is established between two wine-glasses filled to the brim with pure water and connected by a cotton thread, a rope of water is formed and remains suspended between the lips of the two glasses. This "water bridge" can subsist for a few seconds even once the thread has been removed [1].
Pressure induced ferromagnetic spin glass transition in the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore (Tb1-x Lax)2Mo2O7
In the pyrochlore compounds R2Mo2O7, both rare earth R3+ and M4+ transition metal ions form a threedimensional network of corner sharing tetrahedra. The pyrochlore lattice is geometrically frustrated both for antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (F) nearestneighbour exchange interactions, leading to intriguing magnetic states such as spin liquids, spin ices or chemically ordered spin glasses.
Self assembly of fatty acids in aqueous solutions.
The use of agricultural resources for industrial purposes will undoubtly be one of the major challenges of the 21 st century. Organic biosynthons used in chemistry should progressively replace those coming from fossil fuels. Our work on dispersions of fatty acids and hydroxylated derivatives forms part of these efforts in that it seeks to demonstrate the potential contribution of fatty acids (which may be extracted from plants) as a new class of surface active agents.
Spin ladder iron oxide : Sr3Fe2O5
The concept of "spin ladder" originally appeared to study the theoretically still controversial antiferromagnet (AF) 2D square lattice in high temperature superconducting cuprates starting from a well understood 1D AF chain [1-2].

MASSACHUSETTS PREMIERE
Q&A with Brandeis University Professor Thomas Doherty, Author Hollywood & Hitler
James Freedman's top notch documentary is an absolute must for cinema lovers! A pioneering mogul of early cinema and an unsung Jewish-American hero, Carl Laemmle certainly lived his motto, "it can be done." Laemmle, a German émigré, founded Universal Pictures in 1912. Under Laemmle, Universal was pure innovation and gamble, producing hundreds of comedies, westerns, and seminal monster movies (The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, Dracula). Laemmle helped establish Hollywood California as the world's movie capital, beat back Thomas Edison's monopolization of the film industry, hired women directors and African American actors, and gave many Hollywood legends their starts, including Walt Disney, John Ford, William Wyler, and Irving Thalberg. But Laemmle's legacy extends far beyond Hollywood: "Uncle Carl," as he was known on the studio lot, dedicated his personal fortune to rescuing more than 300 Jewish families from Nazi Germany.

How to Pack for a 12 Day Mediterranean Cruise
Gone are the days when white bow ties and sequined dresses were the norm on cruise ships -- but that doesn't mean you don't have to take some special care with your clothing before you step aboard. Today's cruises generally are a mix of casual and formal, and the location to which you're traveling also should be a deciding factor in what you bring along.
It used to be that all cruises required at least some level of formality during the dinner hours, but that's no longer the case for all cruise lines. Some lines have formal nights, while others have foregone the formal wear all together. The cruise information you get when you book -- or the cruise line's website -- are the best sources of information about what's expected of you, in general terms. Check the cruise line's "FAQ's" page to get information about the accepted attire on that individual cruise line.
Cruising during the month of February requires different types of clothing for different destinations. Some destinations, such as Alaska or Europe, may be temperate or downright frigid during the winter months. In other destinations, such as the Caribbean, February means warm temperatures and a lot of sun. Your cruise line can provide some basic information about the average weather at your destinations, but you should do some research on your own. Check The Weather Channel (Weather.com) or AccuWeather to find out the average temperatures and precipitation before you start packing.
Pool Considerations
In general, you'll be allowed to be more casual during the daytime hours -- although just how casual depends on the ship. On most cruises, swimsuits, cutoffs and flip flops are good for lounging by the pool, but should be avoided for activities outside the pool area. For warm-weather cruises, bring along a sun hat, sunglasses and protective coverups for pool time. You may be ready to get sun, but if it's winter back home, you can bet your skin will need to do some adjusting.
Daytime Wear
As a general rule, pack day wear that is slightly more upscale than what you might wear on the street back home; choose the collared polo shirt instead of the T-shirt, or the khaki pants instead of jeans. Princess Cruises, for example, recommends people dress the way they would at any "stylish land-based resort." For women, skirts and dresses work well in warm climates. If you're headed to a cooler location, bring along layers of long-sleeved shirts, sweaters and scarves that can be mixed and matched, keeping in mind that you have limited storage space in your stateroom. Look for shoes that can serve multiple purposes, such as a pair of walking shoes that also work well for casual dining.
What you wear in the dining room often is the most contentious part of cruise clothing. It depends on the ship, but in general, you should be changing into slightly more formal wear when day becomes night. Some cruises have "formal" nights where a suit or tuxedo is appropriate for men, and evening gowns are appropriate for women. Other lines simply require "elegant" clothing in the dining room, which can mean dresses or dress suits for women, and collared shirts and slacks for men.

Dark Chocolate Supplementation Elevates Resting Energy Expenditure in Exercise Trained Females
Katie M. Presler, Valdosta State UniversityFollow
Michael Webster, Valdosta State UniversityFollow
International Journal of Exercise Science 14(2): 250-259, 2021. Several recent reports have indicated positive health and exercise benefits of (-)-epicatechin-rich cocoa products. This study investigated the influence of dark chocolate (DC) supplementation on resting and steady state exercise metabolism in a group of athletically fit females. Using a randomized, single-blind design, 18 exercise trained female subjects were assigned to a 30-d supplementation with either 20g· d-1 of 70% DC (n = 9) or a calorically matched white chocolate (WC) (n = 9). Pre-supplementation (PRE), subjects underwent indirect calorimetry assessment for resting energy expenditure (REE) and exercise energy expenditure (EEE) consisting of steady state cycling for 20 min, 10 min each at 50 W (EEE-50) and 100 W (EEE-100). Upon completion of the 30-d supplementation (POST), subjects repeated the assessment for REE, EEE-50, and EEE-100. Post supplementation REE was significantly increased by ~9.6% in the DC group (Δ REE: DC 140 ± 132, WC -3 ± 92 kcal· d-1, p = .017). Post supplementation, neither EEE-50 (DC 4.51 ± 0.59, WC 4.51 ± 0.32 kcal· min-1) nor EEE-100 (DC 6.56 ± 0.60, WC 6.69 ± 0.42 kcal· min-1) were significantly different between groups (p ≥ .05). There were no significant within or between group time effects for substrate utilization at rest or during EEE-50 or EEE-100 (p ≥ .05). To our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate that a relatively small daily dosage of DC can significantly elevate REE. However, it does not impact steady state EEE or substrate utilization in a group of athletically fit females.

Did you turn off your lights for Earth Hour? I was quite agog at hearing about this particular event. I wanted to see how our place would look like when the households' lights were turned off. Here's what I saw hours before EH and an hour of EH.
It wasn't totally dark but at least there were people who really cared even for just an hour. Did the earth win in your place?
Are we slowly-n-slowly learning again the importance of basics of life ? May be/May be not.
I was not at home during the Earth Hour but was delighted to know that many people turned their lights off during this event. I hope I can participate next time. Hehehe.
Honney, my first time to learn about this EH. Actually, I just turned off the lights in our kitchen, lol!
Some didn't participate that night but in our house I turn off all our lights except my computer…….
Hehee, means we can't live without our computer. But it's a good start by turning off our lights.
Oh yeah, we participated the movement. We turn off everything and stayed in one room using scented candle.
Congrats, Joy! I should do the same next time.
i participated successfully. my home was dark black for past 3 days!! actually i was not in city.
Abhishek, I wasn't in the city, too. At least we didn't need to go out to participate.
That's good news! I've read in a newspaper that the big cities in the Phil had participated. In Davao, even the Mayor initiated the participation (at the park).
We participated in the Earth Hour but I told my wife that we should do it more often. For one, the heat is on here in the Philippines. Turning all the lights on will really increase the heat.


Why would intelligent, successful people give up careers, alienate friends, and cause havoc in their families . . . to become Catholic?
