"The Zombie Axiom" by David Monette
GUEST POST and GIVEAWAY
The Zombie Axiom
(In the Time of the Dead Book 1)
by David Monette
The Zombie Axiom is currently on tour with Bewitching Book Tours. The tour stops here today for a guest post by the author and a giveaway. Please be sure to visit the other tour stops as well.
A handful of survivors claw out a life amid the ruins of the world, all the while fighting the zombie hordes.
In Northern New York State, three uncommon allies lead one of these bands in this epic struggle as they learn both the strengths and weaknesses of their enemies… and of themselves.
Pushed to their limits and holed up on a remote lake island, life has taken on a new normality. That is until winter arrives and all hell will freeze over. For it is then that the open waters of the lake, the only barrier against the unrelenting dead, will freeze. And the monsters will come. By the thousands…
The sudden blare of the digital clock shocked Virgil awake like a stinging slap. Eyes wild with fear, his right hand shot under his pillow and emerged gripping a loaded 9MM pistol. Sitting, gasping, the giant of a man cast about, searching for the ghosts that haunted his sleeping mind. But the weapon withheld its promise of violence when all that he could detect were motes of dust drifting in lazy swirls through the morning light of his bedroom. The gun slipped from his hand.
"Nothing, nothing… nothing. Nothing's there. Nothing," he whispered to himself as his chin sank to his chest and his long brown hair slopped down to hide the blunt contours of his face. With his eyes squeezed shut he vigorously rubbed his temples and, like a man freshly pulled from the sea, deeply inhaled the stale air of his trailer.
At length he pulled his heavily muscled frame upright and shut off the clock alarm. He threw on a pair of shorts and a folded T-shirt from the chair where he had set them aside the night before and wandered from his room and down a narrow hallway to the living room. Stifling a yawn, he maneuvered through an impressive collection of weightlifting equipment until he arrived in the kitchen, where he listlessly consumed a bowl of cold cereal while gazing at the pathetic patch of grass that comprised the front yard outside his home.
And he tried not to think.
It didn't work. Never did. His thoughts kept drifting back to the dark corners where the foul things lay... things he'd done, things he'd seen, things he… had….
He flipped the now empty plastic bowl into the sink with a snort of frustration and turned on his television for the noise, something to drive away the images, the memories.
Didn't work. Never did. So he did the one thing that always seemed to work. Walking over to his gym equipment, he hefted a forty-five pound weight and slammed it onto an Olympic weight bar that was perched on the uprights of a flat bench. Exhaustion would do the trick. Always did.
Two hours later, sweating in the heat of his home, Virgil stepped into the bright morning and squinted at the glare of a day that was promising only heat. Slipping on his dark sunglasses, he surveyed the scene around his house. It was a depressing sight for the most part. His dilapidated trailer was one among many such residences that were crammed on a strip of land that no one else would choose to inhabit other than those desperate enough for a home that was cheap. Situated as it was down a steep hill at the end of a dead-end street and with the river only two feet from flooding the entire area, which it regularly did, it was a wonder that the city hadn't yet closed the place down.
Noticing nothing out of place, no one watching, no one waiting for him to offer them a target when he turned his back, he locked both doors to his home and crunched across the gravel yard to his dust-coated Range Rover, which was already running, having been remotely started several minutes before. After one more surreptitious check of his surroundings, he unlocked the door to the vehicle and slipped into the air-conditioned interior. The cool air washed over him, drying the sweat from his skin. He closed his eyes, breathed deep. In this cocoon of processed air, of quietly murmuring vibration, he opened his eyes to see a fly making its ponderous way across the field of glass that was his windshield. It was of the large, hairy, slow variety… near the end of its life, but still crawling along like a ball at the end of its push. He sat transfixed, puzzled by its relentless march, its progression toward… something only it knew… or nothing at all.

David Monette has written a fantastic book. I can't wait for book two. One of the best features of this book is Monette's amazing gift: he is an artist and has that creative artist's mind where he can create these amazing scenes, but on top of that Monette has the added ability to translate that vision into incredibly stirring fiction. This is incredibly rare. Normally, I am not a fan of zombies; it's apocalyptic stories that I love, but Monette uses the zombie motif very well. He has an amazing story to tell and does it perfectly. This book is an emotional rollercoaster - you feel the horror, the despair, the hope, the fear....it's all here so vividly you are living it yourself. More like watching a movie but even further, I was living it. Bravo to a new author who clearly has a great career ahead of him.
Guest Post by David Monette
The Story of the Cover of The Zombie Axiom
Music is playing, the sun is filtering its yellow warmth through the window, and here I sit in my studio staring at a screen that is staring blankly back at me, waiting for me to fill it with words. It is my ritual of creativity, this mental flogging and piecing together of thoughts, and as I sit here and I do it, my mind wanders back over the fields of the last few years. It is strange. I have performed this act many times.
It's hard to say.
It's certainly more than I did - what? - five, six, seven years ago. Certainly more than that.
But that's not the most interesting question, the "how many", that's not the one that will fill this blank screen with words and wipe from it the smug and rather contemptuous attitude it bears for my skills as a writer. No, the most interesting question to me is: "why?" Why, oh why, did I decide to engage in this chore of staring at screens thinking and thinking of something to write? It's not like I had no creative outlet and was dying for some sort of artistic release. I was, and still am, an illustrator. I make art for companies on commission, and it's usually cool artwork that I get to create. Stuff like this:
So why?
Well, as it turns out, like most things the illustration market just ain't what it used to be. Prices for the artists' work have fallen, and there are more competitors than ever for those dollars. In my mind, this has come about due to a variety of factors, some of which include: the ability to use computers as a way to make art, massive piles of stock photos and stock illustrations, and a truly globalized talent pool willing to take pennies rather than the dollars I would ask for to do the same work.
It was because of these things, and a host of other more boring factors, that I felt like I needed to start creating my own independent properties. Projects that were mine from start to finish.
What would that be though?
Lucky for me, I was asking these questions at a time when I had returned to college for my MFA. While there, I received some excellent advice from a man I consider my mentor, Murray Tinkelman. Murray is an amazing professor and artist, my respect for him is boundless. When he looked at my written work and told me that I was one of the best writers he'd seen in his ridiculously long career as an educator, I took it seriously. He, and another professor, the esteemed Vincent Di Fate, strongly suggested that I combine my potential as a writer with my skills as an illustrator.
I thought, "Why not? I really enjoy writing, and maybe this is just the thing I need to make something that was mine from the beginning to the end. So that is what I did. I wrote a book, The Zombie Axiom, and I did up some interior pieces like these:
And I put together this cover:
I then picked up an agent, and we shopped the book around for about a year before we decided to self-publish while continuing to look for a traditional publisher. To that end, I studied the above image and, though I loved the action of the piece, felt it was too bright and too graphic-novel-looking. Plus, I wanted to develop a sort of theme based on color with green being the dominant color on the first book, followed by blue on the second, and a combination of the two on the third. This line of thought led me to create this piece and to use it as the cover of the self-published book:
With this image and the ten interior illustrations in hand, I self-published the novel, and within five months, was signed with Severed Press for the trilogy. Oh, and they wanted me to redo the cover. They thought that it was too science fiction-y and wanted something with more action and zombies in it. I said, "I have just the thing," and showed them the original cover. They loved it and agreed that it needed to look less like a graphic novel cover and much less bright. Back to the drawing board! Here is how it came out:
They really liked it, and so did I. It was immensely gratifying to see it put together as one published book, one piece of art, something I had made, the story, the images, all coming together, closing the circle. Much like this essay. The music is still playing, the sun has moved higher beyond my window, but my computer screen is no longer blank and smug. Questions answered, circle closed.
David Monette functions as an author and illustrator from his home in Northern New York State. His highly detailed fantasy and science fiction artwork has appeared on many books, magazines, board games, and collectible cards. While receiving his MFA in illustration, his instructors reviewed his written work and strongly suggested that he combine his writing ability with his talent as an illustrator to chart his own path. Hence, The Zombie Axiom was born, a compelling, terrifying story sprinkled with amazing black and white illustrations from start to finish.
Enter the tour-wide giveaway for a chance to win one of five signed, limited release, first edition copies (with the original cover) of The Zombie Axiom (US only).

The emoose is a native of Western Australia, and shares much of its DNA with other D. novaehollandiae species, though the emoose, D. novaehollandiae moosalis, feeds and mates very differently than its cousins.
Unlike other emus, which lay eggs, the emoose gives live birth, and the mothers carry around their younglings in the fuzzy saftey of their robust antlers. Both sexes sport antlers, though the male emoose's are slightly sharper than the females'.
In the Perth region, the emoose is known collloquially as the uilleann-pipe bird, given the beast's resemblance to the instrument, and its bizarre mating call, which sounds much like an amateur bagpiper.

'Undercover Billionaire' says he's 'committed to Erie'
Matthew Rink @etnrink
Aug 6, 2019 at 12:01 AM Aug 6, 2019 at 5:50 PM
Glenn Stearns' Discovery Channel show, set in Erie, premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m.
Glenn Stearns, the 55-year-old billionaire whose new Discovery Channel reality series is set in Erie, says his connection and commitment to the city will continue even though the cameras are no longer rolling.
"Undercover Billionaire" follows Stearns as he relocates to Erie with only $100 and a pickup truck, assumes a new identity and attempts to create a $1 million business in just 90 days.
Stearns, who formed the mortgage company Stearns Lending LLC 30 years ago, was not allowed to use any of his wealth or connections to create the business, which has since been revealed as Underdog BBQ.
In an exclusive interview with the Erie Times-News by phone, Stearns talked about how he came up with the idea for "Undercover Billionaire," an eight-part series that premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m.; how his impressions of Erie, a city he'd never visited, changed during the four months of filming; and why he's optimistic for the city's future.
How did you get the idea for the show?
It's a little crazy. I had always thought to myself that I have done fairly well in business in the past, and is it luck or could I do it again? Having this kind of crazy idea of saying I could be stripped of everything and I bet you I could rebuild it all. And with everything I've known over the last 30 years, I could probably do it in 90 days. With that, I put it out there in the universe and a production company picked it up and said, "Well, if you're serious, then put your money where your mouth is." From there, off we went and they said that they'd like to do it. I said, well, I'll challenge myself and see if it can happen.
They picked the location, went into my regular life, grabbed my wallet, my phone, and literally my identity and said, "You're now not Glenn Stearns, you're Glenn Bryant, and you're going to a place you've never been before," which I'd never been to Erie. And off we went. It was kind of an interesting, scary moment, going "Oh, this is real."
What was it like to shed the identity of Glenn Stearns and become Glenn Bryant?
Having had some success for some time now it was great to really get to see the people hang out with you because you have nice toys, or, you know, you have something to say. Getting to meet so many people in Erie and just being myself, I didn't come with any money or anything. It was wonderful. So many people opened up in Erie to me to just talk. There were cameras around all the time and they just wanted to get to know you. I wanted to get to know them, and it was wonderful. People are genuine and they really seem to have this concern for Erie that is real. It's deep, you know. They talk about hyperlocal — everybody wants to support the local businessman and the local coffee shop and the local hardware store and the people that are entrepreneurs.
That was such a wonderful feeling to witness, people that really are proud of their city and they want to see it grow again. That first day when I came, I saw these abandoned buildings everywhere and I thought, 'Man, this town's been beaten up.' And as I grew into the town, I realized they weren't abandoned. They were being taken over by small businesses and there were people in these buildings and they were taking them back over and revitalizing the city. ... It was neat to get that first impression and then see how people are taking back their city.
Did you help choose the location? You hadn't been to Erie before, did you know anything about the city?
No. Absolutely nothing, which made it even better. I went with open eyes and ears and really dug in and started to meet people and get to understand what Erie was about. It's funny, you get that first blink of something and how it'll change over time. You see that main corridor, how alive it is. When I first went there, again, I thought it was full of abandoned buildings, and it wasn't. There's just been so much life in all these nooks and crannies. And so many people wanted to help. It was great. They said, "Look, if you're trying to open a business here, we will help you."
I forget the gentleman's name that owns all that commercial space (developer Rick Griffith), but I loved his signs. The first one I saw when I came was, 'This is a marathon, not a sprint,' and now the other one about being beat down and life starts when you get back up. I really saw that as not just some man that bought a lot of property out there, but he's really motivating the city and he's making a bigger message than maybe he even knows. I don't know. I may be onto something that is much more deliberate, but it really, it's pretty neat to see him and all the people that really believe that, that this is an underdog town. It's really cool to watch it grow.
The business you eventually started was Underdog BBQ. Why did that theme of being an underdog resonate with you?
You're in Erie, and you know that. The other 95 percent of the country doesn't know what ends up happening, but it didn't start out that way. I had no idea of a name. I didn't have an idea of a business. It was more about going in, assessing what the city needs and where there are holes that could be filled in and where a business could be created. The first thing I looked at and I thought might make sense was dealing with the brewers. They're a very close-knit group. Going down that road was something that I thought looked fairly easy. When I got myself involved in it, I found a new respect for Chris Sirianni (owner and founder of The Brewerie at Union Station) and all the guys over there at Erie Brewing or at Lavery (Brewing). These guys are artists. They really are. They know what they're doing and it's a lot more difficult than I imagined.
I ... realized that was hard and to try to build that kind of business in 90 days, it wasn't gonna happen. There's so much red tape and hoops they have to go through.
What was it like working with Erie's young entrepreneurs?
I always thought this, from having 30 years of business experience, that when they say if you want something done, give it to a busy person, a person that says yes and a person that doesn't use excuses to get things done. Young entrepreneurs fit that category, right? They figured out how to get stuff done. And so I was attracted to that type of person. People that are already busy but want to help. I met a lot of them and whether, again, they were in the brewing business or they were in the T-shirt business or the coffee shop business didn't matter. I wanted to know them. They're connected to the town and they understand how it works. And getting to know those people, I was able to connect quicker with other people and find out a lot and not beat myself up as much as I didn't have a lot of time.
As someone who has been very successful in business, what did you make of the resources Erie has for people trying to start their own business?
Most people don't realize that our tax dollars are put to good use in a lot of areas. With the (Gannon University) Small Business Development Center, (Director) Maggie (Horne) and the whole team over there, they're there to help and a lot of people don't understand, you know, "I need to be incorporated. And, what does that really mean? I don't understand tax filings and I don't understand how to put a business plan together. I really want to be able to look at three or four different types of businesses and get the pros and cons to each one of them, do my research."
And so the SBDC is there. It's a wonderful resource to be able to help you figure out a lot of those things that would take years, maybe, of slow learning. But they're there, and that's what they do. They're great. I went to the mayor, I went to a lot of people within the infrastructure of Erie and spoke to them and, again, very open arms, wonderful people to deal with. I really thought it was great.
What did you learn and what do you hope viewers of "Undercover Billionaire" take away from the show?
We live in a country (where) we're so fortunate to be able to go out and be able to build a business and have the tools to help you really get going. We're very fortunate. I've been all over the world, and to be able to build a business and be supported is one thing. The other thing on the other end of that spectrum is there are so many people that live hand-to-mouth, that live day-to-day just trying to survive, and it's hard for these people. They really do need to be supported more and they need a hand up. By being there, even for a short time, I found that there's a lot to do there. I hope the show not only focuses on the opportunity that this country provides in cities like Erie and great places that want to support growth, but also that we could really do more for people that are less fortunate.
I'm 55, and I took a chance, not a financial chance, right? I probably won't be impacted when everything is said and done. What I was taking a chance on was my reputation. I was taking a chance on going out there and proving that maybe I couldn't do it. There's a lot of things that happen, but I guess the takeaway is that you're never too old to go out there and go for it, to take a chance, to make things happen.
Going forward, what will your connection be with this city?
I'm not going anywhere. I have a business there that is being run. I'm on the phone every day with those people. So I'm committed to Erie. Then there's another angle — I'm kind of helping the SBDC and some small businesses. There's a lot going on in each area that'll keep me there.

DEATHGRIN
Real Name: Daniel Davis
Identity/Class: Human magic-user (undead)
Occupation: Burglar
Group Membership: A gang of burglars
Affiliations: Reynolds
Enemies: Nightwatch
Base of Operations: New York, New York, USA
First Appearance: Web of Spider-Man#104/2 (September, 1993)
Powers/Abilities: Daniel Davis was a normal human. As Deathgrin he was like the living dead. His skin became calcified and as hard as stone, giving him a certain degree of invulnerability. In his blood flows arcane acids, giving him a burning touch. His strength became unnaturally high (enhanced human level) and probably he had no need to breathe.
(Web of Spider-Man#104/2 (fb) - BTS) - Daniel Davis, a burglar, had some contacts with exotics persons interested to acquire rare antiquities. Davis contacted Reynolds, a security guardian of the Museum of Natural History. One night, Reynolds sabotaged the surveillance system of the Museum, and Davis and his men broke into the Museum, killed some guardsmen, captured some hostages, and started to rob the most ancient and precious pieces. Davis found the most prized piece of the exhibition, an ancient Macedonian Mask of Death.
(Web of Spider-Man#104/2) - While the burglars were stealing the antiquities, Nightwatch spotted them and entered in the Museum attacking them. Davis, seeing his men falling, fled, pushing the Mask onto his own face. The Mask stuck on Davis' face, warming his blood and inoculating an archaic balsamic substance in his veins. Daniel Davis died in the pain, leaving only Deathgrin remaining.
(Web of Spider-Man#105/2) - Suffering and enraged, Deathgrin attacked Nightwatch, crushing statues and succeeding in touching his foot. His acid touch burned Nightwatch. He threw a big statue at the vigilante then fled outside after having crushed the wall. Nightwatch enveloped Deathgrin with his cloak, but the criminal ripped free from it. Then the policemen arrived and shot whole magazines (of bullets at Deathgrin, who remained unharmed. In his search for vengeance he demolished the columns of the front of the Museum that crumbled on him. However he managed to melt the ground and run away in the sewers, leaving an acid path in the waters.
(Web of Spider-Man#106/2) - The pain drove Deathgrin to seek vengeance. He set a trap up for Deathwatch. When the vigilante approached, Deathgrin emerged from the waters behind Nightwatch. Nightwatch's cloak automatically reacted and slashed Deathgrin, launching him on to a wall, but the criminal was unharmed. Deathgrin tore open a pipe and a cloud of gas filled the sewer, but it seemed not to harm the criminal. The fight continued underwater and finally, with a powerful, cruel uppercut Nightwatch knocked Deathgrin out.
Nightwatch transported Deathgrin upside to the street, where the Police blocked him with special bracelets.
(Web of Spider-Man#106/2 - BTS) - Presumably Code Blue took Deathgrin in custody.
Comments: Created by Terry Kavanagh, Bill Wylie and Timothy Tuohy.
Nightwatch says that his costume sensed the transformations in Davis' body and claimed that Deathgrin was only a living cadaver exhaling acid. Deathgrin apparently retained some memories and speaking abilities, and his only purpose seemed to be vengeance against the man that caused him the extreme pain he was feeling.

The Mask of Death
The Mask robbed by Davis was an ancient Macedonian Mask of Death. It contained a balsamic substance probably studied by a man of another era, with a completely different physiology. The Mask itself seemed to have no special powers. However, once applied to Davis' face, it warmed his blood to a cooking level, burning his eyes and skin burn, and causing him incredible pain. The Mask so injected the substance in the Davis' blood flux, probably killing his body, transforming his skin into stone, and giving him constant pain, a touch like burning acid, and enhanced strength.
--Web of Spider-Man#104/2 (Web of Spider-Man#104/2, Web of Spider-Man#105/2, Web of Spider-Man#106/2
Reynolds was a normal human.
Reynolds was a guardsman of the Museum of Natural History. He was contacted by Daniel Davis and helped him to enter in the Museum in exchange for a part of the return of the stolen goods. Reynolds did not care very much to cover his sabotage actions, and Davis had him killed by one of his gang.
--Web of Spider-Man#104/2
The burglars
The burglars were normal humans. The gang was composed by ten or more units. They were equipped with handy laser, silenced handguns, electrocuting stingers, gas sprayers, shotguns with infrared pointers, and walkie-talkies; and they all wore the same suit, like a uniform.
They were also killers. They had killed some guards of the Museum before starting stealing. They were not a threat for Nightwatch who put them out of the game in few minutes. One of them also killed Reynolds at a signal from Davis. Only one (or a few) of them succeeded in running away from Nightwatch's assault.

Ah the great outdoors, remember going for your annual vacation in woods. Your parents rented a log cabin for the week, and once you arrive there's nothing but beauty as far as the eyes can see. At night you would cuddle up around the fire and eat as many smores as you could.
So wouldn't it be neat if you could recreate that feeling? Well now you can, we have put together this pack of lumberjack baby shower games to entertain your family and friends. Finished in red buffalo plaid, these games will fit right into your lumberjack themed shower.

Sony's new G Master lenses are mesmerising, but expensive
By Souvik Das | Published on May 11 2016
Incredible colour depth and perfect bokehs.
Sony unveiled its latest lineup of G Master lenses earlier today, beginning with three lenses in the series. You get wide angle capabilities with the 24-70mm lens, the 85mm f/1.4mm will be any fashion photographer's ultimate love, and although I did not get to try out the 70-200mm lens, it should be pretty awesome, too, going by how the entire lineup performs.
In every way, the Sony G Master lenses ooze class. The Magnesium alloy build is almost flawless, and the lens is reasonably light. Additionally, there are a number of optimisations that Sony has done to enhance the photograph quality. For instance, you get focus, zoom and hood locks on the lenses that will aid shooting street and landscape photos. Internally, the lenses now have 50 lines per millimeter across its elements, which increase the resolution and clarity of photos. The stellar quality is evident, and Sony is promoting its superior bokeh capturing ability as a part of the optimisations in the G Master lineup. The 24-70mm f/2.8 lens uses 11 circular blades, leading to perfectly smooth and round bokeh effect.
The focussing mechanism is uber smooth and silent, although it is a tad too heavy for my personal preference. While this works on the zoom ring, the focus ring could have remained more fluid. Sony is also promoting the full-frame lenses to work seamlessly with its mirrorless lineup of cameras, and the only qualm that you may have is that the lenses do not feature in-lens stabilisation, which is a notable absence from a lens that commands such superior imaging quality and pricing.
This brings us to a pivotal point - pricing. While Sony has covered multiple photography genres with the three lenses, and even delivers on the quality of photographs claimed by Sony, it may not find acceptance with casual photographers. From what we have seen so far, investing in a lens that costs Rs. 1,56,990 is certainly looked upon as an investment for professional photographers, or intermediate cinematographers looking for supreme lenses to accompany camera bodies like the Sony A7R.
The Sony G Master lineup of lenses come with E-mount, meaning that it would be compatible with any of Sony's interchangeable lens cameras. The cross-range compatibility will allow Sony to present its latest lenses to a wider section of the existing audience, and even allure users of other brands to its wide range of cameras. The photograph quality visibly differs between its older G lineup of lenses, and the new G Master lineup. There is greater depth to the colours, and the deeper contrast levels combined with the denser, higher quality lens elements deliver increased sharpness in photos.
To sum up, the Sony G Master lenses are really stellar, delivering deeper depth in quality of photographs, higher contrast and sharpness, and an overall excellent photography experience. The pricing somewhat puts it in the bracket of professional equipment, and casual photographers may not exactly go for this. Nevertheless, we found the lenses really, really good on first usage.
The 24-70mm and 85mm lenses go on sale across retail outlets and online channels on May 12, while the 70-200mm will be made available in August 2016.

By Ruben on Jun 10, 2008	| In ColdFusion, Railo | Send feedback »
As an "old" ColdFusion developer the year 2008 got me quite excited, or....maybe not? Two ColdFusion-server vendors have announced to go open source with their server technologies.
In March BlueDragon (http://www.newatlanta.com/products/bluedragon/open_source/announcement.cfm) made this announcement at CFUnited Europe. And last week Railo Technologies did the same at Scotch on the Rocks (http://www.railo-technologies.com/en/index.cfm?treeID=357).
(There is also Smith a "native" open source ColdFusion engine.)
To be honest with you I was thinking this: "Hmmmm....that's interesting... What's happening here? What's the big picture?".
I think because the original ColdFusion engine - from Allaire, later Macromedia, and currently Adobe - stayed closed source it couldn't compete against languages like PHP. Almost all Linux distros ship Apache and PHP nowadays.
Because ColdFusion is or became a 'niche language' its competitors like BlueDragon and Railo were serving niche-niche markets.
Open Source is evolving
In my opinion Open Source (OS) is evolving and a serious competitor for close source vendors. First OS was used for the basics like the Linux Operating System. Soon serversoftware like webservers and database servers popped up. As serversoftware matured and gain popularity the next step became end-user software like Open Office and standard Web applications.
Many of these Web applications are written in PHP/MySQL: osCommerce, phpBB, Drupal, Mediawiki, WordPress and Joomla...to name a few.
These Web applications got well adopted and matured also. Now ask yourself this question: "Why aren't there any well known killer apps written in ColdFusion?"
ColdFusion today
And what about ColdFusion today? Well it stays as "the quickest language to build *tailored* webapplications". It's great to use in enterprise environments for large custom made web solutions.
A great place to find open source ColdFusion applications is on http://www.riaforge.org but most of them are "building blocks". There are also complete Web applications like BlogCFC but why should you install it....?
Well, what about: "We are hardcore ColdFusion developers and won't drop it until we're forced to do it"? Or: "We don't install Wordpress because we've got our very own ColdFusion clone"
ColdFusion against the world
I think BlueDragon and Railo know their ColdFusion engines can't compete against other languages. They also know that Adobe is "in charge" of developing new versions of the ColdFusion markup language (CFML). And customers using CFML simply want to be "Adobe-CFML compliant".
Lastly CFML is serving a niche market, so BlueDragon and Railo are serving even a smaller part of that market.
Dragons need to eat too
Having that said I think BlueDragon and Railo will earn some money on for giving support and consultancy. Maybe their technologies can become part of bigger server software like Tomcat.
In my opinion Adobe will spend more time on Flex technology. Maybe the next version of ColdFusion (version 9) is going in this "Flex" direction.
Jerry Springer could have concluded...
Open source ColdFusion is great for the community but it's to late to become a real competitor. Use ColdFusion in specific situations and not because you're a ColdFusion developer.

This week, we've been looking at two-factor authentication, the most important security step you can take for any account.
Let's look at how to enable it for Google. Enabling this for Google can help protect your Gmail information, Google Drive, and Android phone, as well as your YouTube and Google Chrome information.
You'll be taken to this page. Click on Get Started.
If you'd rather not use the phone, click on Choose another option. You'll have a chance between a physical security key or receiving a text or a voice call with a code. The vast majority of you will choose the text message or voice call option.
Just supply a number and choose whether you want a text or a voice call. Then choose Next. One caution, though. Make sure you update this if you change your phone number. A code sent to the wrong number is of no help to you.
If you want to use the physical security key, you'll need to purchase one separately. A Google-compatible security key will run you between $25 and $60. Though, for most of you, a call or text with a code is sufficient.
When you choose the phone option, Google will then either call or text you with a one-time use code. Enter it and hit Next. Now, you're all set.

Patience pays for Prat and None Above the Law in Real Good Deal victory
DEL MAR, Calif.—Downstream Racing's gray stretch runner None Above the Law found a perfect spot just behind the leaders early, then pounced at the quarter pole and won in the clear in Friday's featured Real Good Deal Stakes at Del Mar.
The Golden State Series offering was worth $175,500 in total and $99,750 to "Law's" connections. The homebred gelding – whose winning margin turned out to be five and a quarter length – was winning the fifth race of his career and raised his bankroll to $304,060.
Downstream Racing is the nom du course of J. Kirk Robison of El Paso, TX.
The 3-year-old test was conducted over seven furlongs and the winner covered the distance in 1:22.90. Fractions were :22.98, :46.20, 1:10.65 and 1:22.90.
Leading rider Flavien Prat was in the boot on "Law" for his third winner of the afternoon. After eight days of racing at the Del Mar stand, Prat now has 16 wins and is well in front in the jocks' standings. The stakes win was the fifth of the meet for Prat and his fourth in the Real Good Deal Stakes. He now has 65 stakes wins at Del Mar, 12th most of all riders all time.
"We were in a good spot and he was comfortable. The draw helped us. When I asked him (to go), he was a willing horse. He's a nice horse," Prat commented.
Leading trainer Peter Miller tightened the cinch on the son of Karakontie for his third victory on the day. Miller has racked up eight victories to easily lead the trainers' parade. The Real Good Deal Stakes was Miller's third of the meet. He now has 40 stakes wins at Del Mar.
"The No. 1 horse (The Chosen Vron) towered over the field, but he didn't fire today. And it's hard to win from behind on this track. Our horse tries every time and Flavien (Prat) gave him a great ride, so we couldn't be happier," said Miller.
Finishing second in the Real Good Deal was the odds on favorite The Chosen Vron, who is owned by the partnership of Fetkin, Sondereker or Thornburg, et al, while running third was Brown, Klein or Lebherz's Letsgetlucky.
The winner paid $22.00, $4.00 and $2.60 across the board. The Chosen Vron returned $2.10 and $2.10, while Letsgetlucky paid off at $3.20 for the show.
The track's Pick Six Single Ticket Jackpot wager was not hit for the sixth day in a row and its carryover pot ran up to $441,366.
Post time for Saturday's 11-race card is 2 p.m.

Pathfinder Tours "Buffer Puffer" Took 37047 and 37203 on an eccentric tour of some London Branch Lines.
After heading back out to South Ruislip from Marylebone the Tour heads back into Central London via Acton Main line, diverging from the Great Western Main line to the North London line via the Acton Curve.
The train arrived at Hampton Court just behind a service train and the passengers, knowing there was a 45 minute wait, descended on the shops of Hampton Court. The poor chip shop probably didn't know what hit them!
Still following the service train the tour is seen here, running to time, passing through Thames Ditton station.
Last branch line of the day. the tour visits Shepperton. These view show the tour passing between the fairways of the Sunbury Golf course.
The wind at this point was enough to blow you over.


When shingles are manufactured, there are mineral granules pressed into the hot asphalt. These granules create the color of your shingles and protect them from UV rays, as well as make them fire resistant and more durable. As your shingles are exposed to the elements, it is not uncommon for small numbers of granules to come off and get washed down into your gutters. They will look like little rocks and you might see them here or there as your roof ages.
If you are seeing huge numbers of granules, to the point where it looks like there is gravel in your gutters or coming out of your downspouts, your roof might be nearing the end of its useful lifespan. However, there are other factors that can cause granule loss, such as heavy rain, hail, or damage from foot traffic. It is normal to see some granules loss on these occasions and does not necessarily mean your roof is failing.
If you are seeing a large number of granules on a regular basis, and you start to notice that your shingles look spotty or bare in areas, you should call a roofing professional to take a look before you have a leak.

Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence : porte et grille d'entrée

Picture taken in: Aix-en-Provence, Bouches-du-Rhône
Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence 07/06/2013 15h58 A quick glimpse through the beautiful gate of the townhall of Aix. Aix-en-Provence Aix-en-Provence -or simply Aix- is a city-commune in south of France, about 30 km north of Marseille. It is in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, in the département of Bouches-du-Rhône, of which it is a subprefecture. The population of Aix numbers approximately 143,000. Its inhabitants are called Aixois or, less commonly, Aquisextains. Aix was founded in 123 BC by the Roman consul Sextius Calvinus, who gave his name to its springs, following the destruction of the nearby Gallic oppidum at Entremont. Aix-en-Provence is situated in a plain overlooking the Arc, about a mile from the right bank of the river. The city slopes gently from north to south and the Montagne Sainte-Victoire can easily be seen to the east. Aix's position in the south of France gives it a warm climate. It has an average January temperature of 5 °C and a July average of 22 °C. It has an average of 300 days of sunshine and only 91 days of rain. While it is partially protected from the Mistral, Aix does occasionally suffer from the cold gusty conditions it brings. [ Source an more information: Wikipedia – Aix-en-Provence ]

King supports GTA West transportation corridor
King Township has lent its support to the GTA West corridor being built south of King-Vaughan municipal boundary.
King council voted to support the Ministry of Transportation Ontario's (MTO) preferred route for the proposed GTA West Transportation Corridor, a 400-series highway built south of the municipality.
The vote was held on a resolution brought forward by Mayor Steve Pellegrini at a special planning meeting held Nov. 2.
"The most appropriate place for the GTA West Transportation Corridor to be built is south of the King-Vaughan municipal boundary for several reasons," said Mayor Pellegrini. "First and foremost, any suggestions to move the proposed route further north into King Township would not be supported by council as it would have many negative impacts, including to the environment."
Back in January of this year, King Township council passed a resolution fully supporting the MTO's preferred technical Route S8-3 based on its natural, land use/socio-economic and transportation technical merits.
The City of Vaughan has also requested that a portion of the proposed alignment and Highway 27 interchange be located as far north as possible in order to minimize the impact on the existing residential communities.
York Region's Committee of the Whole Transportation Services approved the recommendation to request that the MTO assess, as part of the Environmental Assessment, a highway alignment that avoids impacts to the approved community areas in the North Kleinburg-Nashville Secondary Plan area.
Now that the alignment of the MTO's preferred route takes all of those issues into account, King Township council has advised the MTO it fully supports the preferred route.

Did you know that 85% of the more than 24,000 asylum-seeking families ordered deported from July 2014 to November 2016 received in absentia orders? This means that more than 21,000 families never had a chance to present their case in court.
The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) and CLINIC have released a new report, "Denied a Day in Court: The Government's Use of In Absentia Removal Orders Against Families Seeking Asylum," which discusses the obstacles families face in attending their immigration court hearings and explains how the immigration system fails families seeking asylum.
Immigration judges issue in absentia orders when an individual is not present for a scheduled immigration court hearing. There are many reasons why individuals are unable to attend their hearings: the government's failure to provide sufficient notice of the hearing, health and transportation issues, confusion between immigration court hearings and ICE check-ins, and more. Immigration judges found these reasons to be sufficiently compelling to reverse in absentia deportation orders more than 96% of the time in over 40 cases prepared by ASAP and CLINIC nationwide. Denied a Day in Court shares lessons from these cases and explains what the government can do to ensure that future families have their day in court. Thousands more families would still be fighting their asylum cases if they had not received wrongful in absentia orders of their own.
For an in-depth look at how the government's in absentia deportation pipeline functions, read our full report, which includes an analysis of government data obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests and a breakdown of policy recommendations for how Congress and the Executive Branch can address these issues.

Lt. Governor Wyman Chairs First Meeting of Commission on Youth and Urban Violence
(HARTFORD, CONN) - Today, Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman chaired the first meeting of the Commission on Youth and Urban Violence. Created in March 2015 by Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Lt. Governor Wyman, the task force is charged with examining the causes and triggers of youth violence, and developing anti-violence policy responses and recommendations.
"Every young person should have the opportunity to shape a bright future and live a life free from violence," said Lt. Governor Wyman. "Connecticut communities are clearly safer-crime is at a 48-year low, and violent crime is down 36 percent. This Commission will take the next step in improving these figures by looking at how youth crime takes root and how we can best interrupt these cycles. The bottom line is that we want safer neighborhoods and more productive residents."
"We are dramatically reducing crime in our state to the lowest point in decades - and we are doubling down on methods that work," said Governor Malloy. "As we make smart decisions to reduce crime today, we have to continue working towards a brighter tomorrow. That means reducing the risk factors that lead some youth down the wrong path. That's why this Commission is so important, to ensure Connecticut remains such a great place to live, work, and raise a family."
The Commission, made up of advocates; juvenile justice experts; human services leaders; law enforcement officials; educators; and others, will consider how current policies impact the rate of violence in high-crime communities, and will focus on understanding and preventing the triggers of youth violence.
Through a thorough review of the risk factors facing youth, the Commission will develop recommendations designed to inform juvenile justice policymaking, strengthen anti-violence programs and partnerships, and address gaps in healthcare, housing, and education that may contribute to youth crime.
The Youth and Urban Violence Commission will submit its final report to the Governor by the end of the year.

First planted in 1980, Cave B Winery is a boutique vintner located in the Columbia Valley wine region in the very center of Washington State. While growing a broad range of varietals - made possible by the microclimates of its distinctive cliffside location 900 feet above the Columbia River - the winery also focuses on sustainability in its buildings and operations. The placement of the multiple buildings on the site and their organization were informed by topographical and geological conditions on the site, particularly the basalt cliffs, and rocky outcroppings and talus. Stone for the green buildings was harvested on-site and cast into concrete forms - the walls of the Inn at Cave B, are made of composite, hand-fabricated panels of concrete, basalt and sand. Designed by Olson Kundig Architects of Seattle, the multi-phase project, is comprised of the Cave B Inn, Lodge and 15 guesthouses at Sagecliffe Winery, surrounded by estate vineyards and orchards.
In Cave B Inn's Cavern Rooms, geo-thermics are used to heat and cool the building. The water coming from the deep well is 72 degrees year round; that temperature is utilized in the HVAC system for the building, reducing the need for electric power. Salvaged railroad tie flooring is used for the Cave B Inn lobby and Tendrils Restaurant. Trellis poles in the pool area of Cave B Inn are reused Grant County telephone poles, made available when the county undertook a pole-replacement process in 2007. A local ironsmith created the grand lobby chandelier in Cave B Inn from recycled farm machinery. The roof of the wine cave is a living "sod" roof, which insulates the cave, is an oxygen-producing structure, and upholds our goal of architecture which emerges from the environment, as opposed to dominating the environment. The walls of all buildings, as well as walkways, patios, stairways and landscaping walls, have been built from basalt rock culled from the property and the immediate region.
Grape Pomace (pronounced /PUHM-is/) is the solid remains of grapes after pressing. It contains the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the fruit. It is typically used as cattle feed, a soil conditioner, or sent to a landfill. Cave B Estate Winery and Ovenell Farms of Quincy, Washington, have partnered to use the winery's grape pomace. Ovenell Farms accepted all of Cave B Estate Winery's grape pomace in 2009 for use in its cattle feed. After Cave B's harvest and crush season came to an end in early November 2009, Ovenell Farms received more than 100 tons of winery by-product, which made up approximately 20 percent of the feed composition for its Washington State dairy cows. Ovenell Farms, is also working with Cave B in the area of soil enhancement in another synergistic pairing between a winery and a dairy farm.
The restaurant chef uses seasonal, regional foods, with sustainable, organic local ingredients whenever possible, including the chef's own garden herbs, vegetables and fruits.
The SageCliffe School Garden Program offers children a "hands-on" learning experience. For the program's launch, more than 170 first-graders from Quincy's Mountain View Elementary School visited on Earth Day, 22 April 2009. The goal of the program is to allow students to learn about the importance of "eating locally", how to grow food organically, and then to see how that harvest can be prepared to provide delicious, healthful meals. Children plant their own plot in the Chef's Garden and learn about heirloom vegetables from the chef.
For all events, Cave B Inn uses reusable cutlery, dishware and linens instead of disposables, and bulk containers for condiments, instead of individual condiment packets. The organic chef's garden produces a wide variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, used regularly in its restaurant's dishes. SageCliffe Verjus is a winemaking bi-product extracted from hand-picked unripe wine grapes which have been gently crushed, then gravity-pressed; it is bottled and used as a marinade or dressing. Waste cooking oil from the restaurant is converted into bio-diesel fuel.
Cave B Winery sells its green glass bottles to The Green Glass Company, http://www.greenglass.com/ which recycles the wine bottles to make glasses and goblets that are sold in the winery store, coming full circle. Cave B sold 5,000 of its green glass wine bottles to The Green Glass Company in 2007. The vineyard also sells Vineyard Chips that are 3lb. bags of chipped grapevine clippings used as a cooking fuel or for added smoked flavor while grilling. The vineyard holds post-pruning Grapevine Gathering Days where local crafters are invited to gather just-pruned grapevines for use in crafts & home and garden décor. Wine case boxes and packing material are recycled or re-used for customer wine purchases, and the winery recycles cardboard, glass and paper. Kitchen food waste, winemaking bi-product (grape seeds and skins) and vineyard, orchard and garden yard waste are composted.
The winery gives preference to meeting planners who strive to follow green meeting practices. and follows its own Green Meeting Guide. Its primary vendor for printed materials, PrintingForLess.com, is a 100% wind-powered facility that employs recycling, soy-based inks, and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification to guarantee that all paper used comes from sustainable, well managed forests that adhere to strict environmental standards.


It's that time again to loom at inspirational women of the past and present and all the amazing things they do to inspire every day. It feels like only yesterday we started this series but if you're new be sure to go check out all the others so far and let us know who you would have put forward.
Lets start with a woman who represents the many who so many have depicted again and again and look to as a symbol of strength. Rosie the Riveter has become a bit of an icon adorning posters and t-shirts and still recognised to this day. The poster of Rosie the Riveter was used during World War II as a representation of all the women that had to step out of the feminine shackles and into a new world of working and being recognised as an equal. Women were the backbone of the UK during the war farming the lands, working the factories and keeping the country running. So Rosie is in fact not one person but represents any woman who needs the strength to carry on!
Rebel Wilson is out in the media loud, fat and proud she may be playing the fat friend in a lot of her roles but she does it with serious sass and style so much so you just want to be the one hanging out with her laughing your heads off and dancing the night away. She may have faced some very recent controversy from the plus size world in that she has been seen to be 'trimming down' but what is wrong with a woman being healthy and still very plus size health at every size is important. I just hope that is Rebels motivation and not that the Hollywood world has finally got to her. With an arsenal of films and a clothing line under her belt this savvy business woman is a force to look up to.
Rachel Wiley is a strong, beautiful and talented woman. I have always been moved by poetry but hers just brings me to tears she can take you to places you didn't think anyone else understood. She is outspoken on issues of race, fat positivity, love and politics. A gift with moving words and a legend on the spoken word scene. If you have time to check out some of Wiley's work I urge you to just spend half an hour listening to some of her powerful worlds and try and tell me that you're not inspired because you will come away feeling rushed with inspiration.
Who did I miss that is inspiring to you?
This is such a fantastic idea for a series, it's wonderful to see powerful and inspirational women from the past and today being celebrated like this! Round of applause from me! I have never heard of Rachel Wiley either but the fact that she is so outspoken on so many important issues is brilliant, I need to look her up!
Great post, so lovely to see some inspiring women who are happy and confident in the skin they are in. I just wish I could carry their confidence with me. I haven't heard of Rachel Wiley before but she seems like a pretty empowering woman.
This is such a great idea for a series of posts, I can't wait to go and read some of the other entries.
It always fun to do series and I love reading about women who inspire other women. There's a lot to learn!
What a great post. It's always good to see some inspirational women. Can't wait to read other entries!

Orthy, the musical project of Austin, TX based songwriter and producer Ian Orth, will be releasing a special digital release of his reworking of Tom Petty's classic "Listen To Her Heart" via Dither Down, on May 19th. Connected to the digital release are a handful of choice remixes from Orthy's 2014 'E.M.I.L.Y.' EP, featuring contributions from Cosmic Kids, Aimes, Mijo, Birds of Pandæmonium, and Roy Dank.
On his "Listen To Her Heart" reworking, Orth borrows Petty's lyrics, while reimagining an entirely new score, transforming the song into a slow, pulsing burner that locks itself into a deep groove by it's final measures. Continuing on in Orthy's distinct style of producing electronic music with new wave and power pop undertones, "Listen To Her Heart" is endearing in it's simplicity. Written and recorded at Orth's own 2216 Studio, he worked closely with two other local Austin engineering talents, James Jones - Mixing, and Erik Wofford - mastering at Cacophony Studios.

Railways to appeal federal order on train braking
CP mainline through Rockies reopened after crash
CP grain train 'began to move on its own' before fatal derailment
Three crew die in CP grain train derailment
Crops, Machinery, Reuters

Toronto | Reuters — Three crew members died on Monday when a Canadian Pacific Railway grain train derailed in British Columbia, a Transportation Safety Board (TSB) spokesman said.
The accident occurred when a train carrying 40 to 60 grain hopper cars derailed near Field, B.C., the TSB spokesman said.
TSB is investigating the cause of the derailment, the spokesman added. Employment Safety Standards Canada, the B.C. Coroners Service and RCMP are also investigating, RCMP said Monday.
Field is about 30 km west of Lake Louise, Alta. in the Rocky Mountains.
RCMP at nearby Golden, B.C. said they were called to investigate a possible CP derailment and found the train derailed near the Spiral Tunnels. CP said the derailment occurred at about 1 a.m. MT in between the Upper and Lower Spiral Tunnels, just east of Field.
Three people were found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene, RCMP said in a release.
CP CEO Keith Creel, in a statement Monday afternoon, identified the three railroaders as conductor Dylan Paradis, engineer Andrew Dockrell and trainee Daniel Waldenberger-Bulmer.
"In the hours ahead we remain focused on employee safety and the safety of our first responders, in addition to working closely with the families of the deceased and all our employees," Creel said in his statement Monday.
The incident, he said, "is under investigation and we will not speculate at this time on a cause — we owe it to those involved to get it right."
The Spiral Tunnels, according to Parks Canada, were excavated in 1909 through the Kicking Horse Pass in what's now Yoho National Park, to reduce a rail grade which until then exceeded the acceptable industry standard.
Creel said CP is working closely with Parks Canada and other agencies "to ensure the environment is not negatively impacted."
Recovering at the crash scene, he added, "will be complex and challenging given the remote location and extreme weather, but with collaboration and communication, we will get there."
Eight railway workers have died in Canada since November 2017, including Monday's deaths, according to the Teamsters, one of the unions representing Canadian rail workers.

JUSTIN Bieber doesn't "give a f**k" what people think of him.
The 19-year-old singer doesn't care how his antics such as visiting a brothel or annoying his neighbours with fast driving and wild parties are perceived because he is happy with the person he is becoming.
The 'Believe' hitmaker also admitted he only trusts his parents and manager Scooter Braun.
He told the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter: "You shouldn't trust anybody.
"I trust Scooter with my career, he's always made sure I'm taken care of. That's it."
And the 'Never Say Never' hitmaker acknowledged his style is "very influenced by black culture" but insists he doesn't make choices to "pose".
He explained: "But I don't think of it as black or white. It's not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It's a lifestyle-- like a suaveness or a swag, per se. But I don't really like to say the word [swag] anymore. It's kind of played out."

I offer an introductory 'initial' appointment at a reduced rate so you can make sure you are comfortable with me and obtain some general information about the process of change. A first session normally lasts about 75 minutes so you have time to fully express why you have come and what changes you are seeking. I will also want to gather information on you, your immediate family and social supports, as well as on your strengths, interests, and values – that is, what is important to you as a person and makes life worth living. If you come seeking help for depression or anxiety, I may ask you to take a test so that we can determine a base line to measure success in relieving symptoms and approaching goals.
"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals; adjust the action steps."
In a second session we review the reasons you have come to counselling and psychotherapy. We then collaboratively set goals and devise the strategies and steps to help you will reach them. (Goals and strategies often change depending on your progress or on new and deeper issues that may arise.) Building the motivation and courage to make positive change and learn new behaviours is an essential part of subsequent sessions. Becoming more deeply aware of your thoughts and emotions and typical ways of assessing and reacting to important relationships, challenges, and life circumstances are essential aspects of each session. Feedback from you to me and from me to you are critical components of the process, as we measure change and celebrate successes or recalibrate and search for alternative solutions.
Counselling and Psychotherapy is at its heart about a conversation between therapist and client. The therapist is trained to listen in a special way that allows you to feel understood and valued and provides the counsellor with a way of understanding you, your present concerns and your hopes for yourself for change and healing. The sessions may seem like a normal conversation, except you will do most of the talking and I will ask a lot of clarifying questions designed to give you more awareness of your thoughts and emotions and to better recognize your strengths, resilience, talents, and successes (and potential for success). Psychoeducation (for example, on the stages of grief or the body's response to anger) and discussions on inter-session assignments (for example, noticing changes at work or at home or key themes in a weekly journal) are also part of the dialogue. When progress towards goals is achieved the conversation turns to what worked well and why and how to continue with and maintain healthy change.
"Life is a succession of crises and moments when we have to rediscover who we are and what we really want."
