Title: Sulu, Hikaru, Case 423.91HWS
Characters: Chekov/Sulu
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1297
Warnings: Character death, but, uh…fluffy character death? It makes sense in context. I hope.
Summary: The afterlife is not what Hikaru expected.
Notes: For echoinautumn, who prompted me ages ago for some Chekov/Sulu, "this is your life". I…may have veered off prompt a bit. Also, idea stolen wholesale from Defending Your Life, which is required viewing as far as I'm concerned but you don't have to have seen it to read the fic.

In a university translation course, the professor included in the back of the course manual several contacts for finding translation work. This was years ago, and I've lost track of that course manual. One of the contacts was for the government, but the way it worked was quite interesting. It sounded like you could take on a document at a time and turn it in as your time allowed. When you next find your schedule light enough, you request another document. Even contract work sounds too strict for the way this was described to us. Does anyone know of a system like this?

Thanks.

We thought we had a fairly serious behavioral problem this morning when we found two suspicious wet spots on the arm of one of the overstuffed microfiber chairs in the living room. And evidence pointed to the youngest member of the family, namely one Sora, as none of the rest of us had a habit of marking the furniture. Although the spots were oddly odor-free, which was a mystery to ponder upon.

And then later this afternoon, myrialux heard a strange rasping noise, cautiously looked around, and discovered the nefarious evil-doer in the act ... Sora was indeed the culprit and he was caught red-handed!

Or, rather, red-tongued, as it turns out he was producing the wet spots by licking the chair, rather than anything more unsavory. Questions as to why he was licking the chair produced nothing but strong demands to be put down, as being held in someone's arms was far beyond the dignity of such a magnificent feline who had urgent business elsewhere chasing dust motes.

So, I was browsing channels to look for something to watch and I see that Legend of the Seeker is passing on NBC at 1 and 2 am. (The season Premierat two am.) 
 

I checked on the NBC site and there is absolutely no information about the show. No listings, nothing. 

Is anyone watching it as the same time as me? I'm in Canada, if it helps!

Thanks!!!

Seven days in a row, you guys! And I think this might be the longest thing I've ever written. *beams*

And this one, that also has its moments:

I can't find my privving stick! I know I left it somewhere.

* First I visited a coordinated volunteer somewhere around 7.7, -10.5 to give them I2s in G/unk.

* And more precisely, I definitely had it it when I gave out some more I2s at -32.895804,26.698151

* I guess I must have just left it lying around with I3s already pre-loaded somewhere around 28.8,-98.5

If anyone finds it could you please bring it back to me?

My rats... I dunno. They love to drink from the same water bottle, even though there are two in the cage. They even did it when there were four bottles in the cage.

Hello again.

I have a question about color. In Spanish, brown things have always been 'carmelita' to me. My family has always used this word (my parents and I were born in Cuba, though I only lived there a year), and within my Spanish-speaking community this has always been the word for brown.

However, I see that 'marron' and 'cafe' are more common outside of Cuba. The first sounds too much like 'maroon' for me to use it, and using 'cafe' just feels weird. 'Carmelita' comes naturally.

Now, my parents told me that a possible explanation for 'Carmelita' was a group in Cuba called the Carmelitas which wore brown robes. I haven't been able to find anything about carmelita being brown (not even a wiktionary entry) or having to do with this group (or maybe I'm just really dense). Does anyone else use this word? Does anyone know the origin of this word? Why is it so obscure outside of Cuba?

A random tweet by someone or other I follow but don't know (you get a lot of that on Twitter, huh?) landed me on a page full of incredible historical photographs.

They're all taken about 70 years ago, and the colour, lighting, depth.. are so startling, vivid, and just all 'round amazing.

OMG you guys you have to check them all out, but here are some of my favourites:




"A boilermaker at a Chicago train yard," 1942


“Shepherd with his horse and dog on Gravelly Range, Madison County, Montana,” August, 1942.


“Worker at carbon black plant, Sunray, Texas,” 1940.



Published by, and I suspect Copyrighted to the Library of Congress. Apparently they have a Flickr account.

So.

I'm 24, and I pay $122 in insurance, every paycheck. That's my company's Blue Cross Blue Shield ppo, my dental, and my vision. This is going to continue for me as long as I'm with the company and am paying for it. It still doesn't cover a lot of what I need to have taken care of.

But the reason I have it? I can deal. I have to deal. Part of the reason I went the last 5 years without any kind of coverage at all was because I was never a full-time employee, I wasn't in school, and my stepfather's plan wouldn't cover me either because technically they still saw that my father is military and figured I was getting coverage from that. I've been denied coverage from various companies FIVE. TIMES. due to pre-existing conditions and medical history. *eta And also I was still denied AHCCCS even when I was making a bare $350 a check working for the city and couldn't afford THEIR insurance. Can't forget that. I was denied because I overqualified by $35 in pay.* When I worked for GameStop and fucked my stomach up and was sick all through jan/feb 07 I wound up paying for that entire fiasco because Aetna considered it to be pre-existing. Pre-existing, when I had the proof that my insurance had begun three weeks before I got sick. That was about $900 no, make that just over $1100 total when all was said and done. And I'm STILL paying it.

I just want to say that if you think I'm buying into some bullshit "propaganda" about any of the reform possibilities, you really just ought to keep your head up your fucking ass so the rest of us don't have to fucking hear you. Beggars can't be choosers and you and your friends ought to get educated about what's going to happen with the reform. You're kept in the dark and if there's anyone here acting blindly on what they're fed it's you. You're not even affected by this personally.

And even if I don't know if -I- will be personally affected by any of this I know that by the end of June 2010 I hope I have some idea of what is available to me if my job fails me like I have the feeling it will.

So enjoy your cheap-ass insurance, and rest easy knowing that your shit attitude, while it may piss some of us off enough to think you're pathetic, is only raising YOUR blood pressure even more. And you're covered for that completely. Golden. I'm glad for you.

A lot of people can only hope to be.

And if you want an 'attack' to baww at this is it. Read it and go claw your fucking eyes out. If you want to make sweeping generalizations you'd better be prepared for someone to step up to your face and say "Fuck you, you're offending me." Your passive 'honey' and 'sweetie' only serve to prop you higher up on that horse you're riding, bitch. It's not that you and I disagree, it was your dumbass attitude. And if you want to blame it on my political affiliations, feel free to, by all means. Because you'll be wrong and still misinformed.

You were the one with the first shitty reaction towards our personal futures, we were only following through and calling you out on that.

Hi all,

Wonder if there is someone who can clear this confusion I have about information in this book i'm reading.

The book; Lingua Latina by (need I go on) Hans Oerberg.

My confusion:

In the beginning chapter of the book even, we see examples of singular and plural forms of words. For example, Oppidum (town)

"Brundisium oppidum est. Brundisium et Tusculum oppida sunt."

Here you can see that the word ending changes from -um to -a  from the singular to the plural respectively.

This is clear.

However, when I look in the index where the vocabulum is listed, I read;

oppidum -i n 1.33


Now, the 1.33 explains the first occurrence in the text,
the 'n' explains that it is of neuter gender,
and I thought the other part was to show the plural ending of the word.
However, if that is so, it is wrong.
But I assume they didn't get it wrong.

What does the -i   mean in this case? Anyone? 

thanks in advance, and kind regards,

sean
