All Hallows Eve: IXJohn moved warily to the far side of Mr. Gregson's grave, not taking his eyes off what remained of Sean. Sean followed, still smouldering with the occasional flame leaping up to lick hungrily at what remained of his flesh. While John started into to hardened ground with his shovel, Sean bent double at the waist, and legs apart tore into the earth with his bare hands, extracting fistfuls of soil as though it were butter, tossing it back between his legs like a dog. Patterson watched for a moment, shovel still shoulder high and wound as though waiting for a fastball, before slowly relaxing, and keeping his distance from the other two

Aaron

Aaron was quite obviously not your ordinary student. He was several years younger than any of the others at the university, but clearly far smarter. His appearance was a little eccentric, clothed in a mix of fifties white collar littered with popular current brands. His thick framed Buddy Holly glasses could have been either stylish or awkwardly obsolete, one couldn't be quite sure.

He appeared almost out of the blue, and I tried several times to learn where he'd come from, what his background was, but he was unwilling to talk about himself. He would stammer before derailing the conversation towards a math problem he was solving, or some com

Remember

Martin stood at the edge of the field, struck numb by the expanse of white crosses peppered with red, stretching out to where the earth touched the sky.

"Overwhelming, isn't it?" The voice dry, sandpaper rough.

Martin turned to the old man nestled in a wheelchair, an old green blanket on his lap, liver spotted face wrinkled and pale, too-big ears tucked up under a knit touque.

"It is. I'd read about this place, about how many men were buried here, but you can't grasp the scale, can't get this feeling from a book."

"Men, women, many of them just children. They didn't just give their lives, they gave up everything they'd ever have. Generati

A Matter of Control

Today I'm teaching my new arm how to stack discs on a peg. This exercise is no different from everything else I've done here lately. All pretty much futile. The way it's supposed to work is with my real right arm I place the biggest blue ring on the peg, and then I try to will the metal hand at the end of my phantom arm into putting a second blue ring on the other peg. It learns, or it's supposed to be learning how I make my good arm move. They've wired it to both the remains of my left bicep, and my good right arm. It's also tapped into the big nerve bundles where they enter my spinal column. That freaks me out just thinking about it. The id

Annabet

Terrence paid for a coffee and fifteen minutes of net time with cash, and, careful to keep his eyes down and away from the security camera, worked his way to the back of the café where he could chat in private.

Positioning the coffee cup carefully so no part of the logo was visible to him, Terrence slipped the prepaid card into the terminal and waited while he was validated and logged in. He negotiated a route through an anonymizer to hide his trail, and then opened a secure line to his desktop in the netcloud.

Annabet was waiting, the lone avatar hovering in his IM buddy list.

"Annabet, r u there?" he typed quickly, hunting and pecki

_{You've just saddened me You've got a G5... a Macbook Pro & 2 Apple Monitors. I'm very jelly right now. On a happier note, we both have the same aluminium keybaord ^_^

Btw, where did you get your two Apple Monitors from? I'm looking to buy some, very soon.}

`SRSmith Oct 19, 2011 Writer

(It's a MacPro, not a G5

)
I picked up the Mac and one of the displays from Apple's refurbished products on their online store. Saved about $1,000 which paid for the second display. Product is no different from anything new I've bought from them, and there's no difference between the new display and the refurb. I spend a lot of time at this desk, and the money I've spent on gear, specifically the displays has been well worth it. I've used cheaper displays and found them really tiring on the eyes after a while.

_{Ohhh! I thought it was a G5, it looked similar. (I use them in college). Sweet thanks a lot dude! I'm looking for bigger displays, but also something gloss black to keep my theme going, I've only ever found the brushed aluminium displays and they don't appeal to me as much as the black ones you have do.}

`SRSmith Oct 19, 2011 Writer

These are aluminum on the back and black glass bezel on the front. Expensive, but well worth it.

~bkSs Oct 21, 2011 Hobbyist Filmographer

_{Could I just ask, what kind of cables do the displays use to connect? DVI/HDMI?}

`SRSmith Nov 16, 2011 Writer

I just realized I hadn't answered this question. My displays use Mini DisplayPort, but the current version of this display uses Thunderbolt, so you'd need a Thunderbolt capable machine to drive them. You can probably still get the Mini DisplayPort version, either from a dealer who has them in stock, and maybe even new through Apple (I'm not sure if they retired this one with the introduction of the Thunderbolt version). They really are fantastic displays though - expensive, but worth every penny.
