A vampire war drives the vulturi to split the vampire race in half,This brought extreme conflict between the volturi members, this also lead to the Vultori spliting into two groups as well, Some vampires chose to follow Aro and Jane, and soon became known as the D.A.R.K, The few who followed Caius, Alec and a strong vampire name Lyzand became what is currently know as L.I.G.H.T, the war caused many vampires to die, soon both sides expanded and excepted other creatures, DARK taking anything that is demonic and is full of hate, LIGHT taking those who they can trust to fight to the death and stay loyal to them.
Years past and the war finally subsided, but things were far from over, Each side had lost almost everyone but their leaders, both needed time to recover. Lyzend fell in love with an elf women name Arawen, and soon they settled down and tried to live a normal life even though that a vampire and a elf were not alike in any way, they found a way to make things work, They had two kids, twins, Constantine and Aristotle but light was not the only side that had people trying to settle down and have families, Aro and Jane's successor, Morkido, Fell in love with a mortal and had a son named Evadin, Times had changed slightly, a group of rebel vampires put fuel on flames that should have been burnt out.
Sent by Aro, Morkido lead an attack on the LIGHT facilities his main target was Lyzend and his family, At this time his son Evadin was only 7 years of age, two years older than Lyzend's two kids. Arawen and Lyzend fought to protect Constantine and Aristotle, but when one mistake occurred its costed them dearly, Aristotle was kidnapped by DARK and was taken away, Arawen placed a sacred blessing on Constantine to keep her safe from morkido's attack's, Called the Elysian curse, Her taking the time to do this costed Arawen her life, Morkido couldn't touch Constantine, no matter how hard he tried, his attacks proved to be ineffective, Morkido retreated and Lyzend realised all that he had lost in that fight, he was determined to keep the only thing he had left safe and hidden.
Lyzend went into hiding with all of the other members of the light counsel. Constantine was now 12, and DARK attacked again, this time taking the only thing That Constantine held near to her, her father. The last thing she remembers was seeing Evadin for the second time in her life, him looking at her with so much sorrow in his eyes as he stood watch, she had seen him one other time when her brother was captured, doing the same thing. She was able to get away from morkido again and vowed that day to avenge her family and to never stop fighting for as long as she lived. She was placed into the Care of Coran her father's best friend and a war general of LIGHT. He trained her to be ready for everything and anything, for her father left her this war and it will be hers to control when she turns the age of seventeen. Constantine always will remember the boy who stood watch and didnt help nor attack, she will never forget him, ever.
Now 16, Constantine has not forgotten anything, nightmares terrorize her, all of the days that she lost everything and for what purpose? For a stupid army to show their strength and power, A fatal mistake...
Very wise, strong, hard headed, she is shy but won't let her guard down and never will.
Constantine's bestfriend, strong, a good fighter and very loyal.

shy, loyal, but wants peace not to fight.
outgoing, hates to get his father (Morkido) mad, He has no knowledge of his past, or of his twin sister on the other side of the war.He is different than everyone else in DARK but he he doesn't know why yet.

Evadin-I nodded and grabbed the clothes, they smelled musty, yet they seemed to be my size. I peeled off my old shirt, which was now prctically ruined and tossed of the comfortable cotton one. The only time we were allowed comfort in DARK was for sleep, sometimes not even that much. I glanced over at Constantin, who looked stunned and scrunched my eyebrows together "What's the face for?" I tossed my socks in the same pile as my shirt and set my boots neatly next to them.
Constantine_ I smiled and said," Nothing." I then quickly added," Look i'll let you get settled, I have some business I have to take care of." By business I meant to go talk to Leon and also check on the younger kids that live in the light facilities. I walked out of his room and went to find Leon.
Constantine_" I never would have expected you to be.Just don't kill him, can you manage that?" I asked. I walked to the house where the youngest children were, Danzor was there with his younger brothers, and once I made sure he was okay. I made my way to the stables, got storm out of his stall, tied him up outside of the barn and started to brush him, he was all dusty.
Constantine_ I took Shadow's halter off, I always knew he would come back, once released he began to be his weird self, prancing around like he owns everything. He seemed to be happy to be home. I turned to walk to a tree nearby, I liked to climb trees to find a quiet place. I climbed up to the lowest branch hanging and I smiled as Shadow trotted underneath me. I counted to three and then hopped down onto his back, starling him, and causing him to run. Being an elf, riding without a saddle or a bridle, it came very easily to me.
Constantine_ Shadow got scared by Evadin horse and stopped, dead in his tracks, sending me flying, I landed on my back, it hurt a little but i had been hurt worse, I got up and brushed myself off," Hey Evadin."
Constantine_ " Im fine, I have taken worse falls." I said. Shadow trotted up to me and pushed my shoulder with his nose. He seemed to trust evadin, since I did." So how do you like it here?" I asked

A Fort Wayne man was charged with dealing marijuana after a search warrant was served at his home early today, Fort Wayne police said.
Police said James Lee Wagner, 31, of the 4000 block of Enola Court, was charged with three counts of dealing marijuana, one felony count of possession of marijuana, one felony count of maintaining a common nuisance and one misdemeanor count of possession of paraphernalia. His bond was set at $13,250.
Police said their Vice & Narcotics Division served a search warrant after receiving information that someone at the residence was dealing marijuana and after buying marijuana from Wagner.
They said more than 300 grams of marijuana was found at the residence, as well as more than one gram of hashish.
Drug paraphernalia, a rifle and a pistol also were confiscated, police said.

More than 70 people plunged into West Lake in Davenport on Saturday for the annual Polar Plunge, a fundraiser for the Special Olympics.
Money raised at this event helps cover the cost of sports training and competitions for participants with disabilities.
The water that polar plungers went into was only 42 degrees, but everyone we talked to said the cause was worth the cold.
"All the money that is raised for events like this goes directly to Special Olympics to fund the state games. The athletes aren't charged anything so its what we need to do to get the funding," Sandra Sievert, one polar plunger, said.
Saturday's event marked the 7th year for the Polar Plunge, and the twelve teams brave enough to take part raised about $10,000.
So far this year, Special Olympics Iowa has raised more than $250,000.

After 28 years, Culver's Dairy Queen restaurant, on State Road 10, sees its last day of business July 31. A sign posted on the facility's doors said owner Barbara Justice is choosing to focus her energy on her remaining stores in LaPorte following the unexpected death of her husband, Douglas, last year.
The sign also noted Justice "did not resign the lease on the building as it would require too many upgrades to maintain the DQ image."
KNOX - Brett Kersey, 22, of Kewanna, is being held in the Starke County Jail, where he is facing possible charges of child molestation, rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

VMM SCO SMA WAP - Solutions and Guidance
The VMMCA is a diagnostic tool you can use to evaluate important configuration settings for computers that either are serving or might serve VMM roles or other VMM functions. The VMMCA scans the hardware and software configurations of the computers you specify, evaluates them against a set of predefined rules, and then provides you with error messages and warnings for any configurations that are not optimal for the VMM role or other VMM function that you have specified for the computer.
You must install and run the VMMCA on the computer that either currently is or will become your VMM 2008 server. To review the system requirements for the VMM 2008 server, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=133516.
Prerequisite: Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA)
Note: The system requirements for the MBCA indicate that only Windows Server 2003 is supported. However, the VMMCA and the MBCA have been tested and are supported on Windows Server 2008 64-bit.
Where to get it
1) Download pre-req: Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=97952
2) Download VMMCA http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=02d83950-c03d-454e-803b-96d1c1d5be24&displaylang=en
Common Usage Scenarios
The list of scenarios are not comprehensive, but will provide you with some common usage scenarios to provide you with an understanding of when to use VMMCA 2008.
Scenario 1 – I have a Windows Host that is in a not responding state. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the host for commonly known issues.
Scenario 2 – A Windows host shows a status of "Needs Attention". Use VMMCA 2008 to check the this host for commonly known issues.
Scenario 3 – I am using SCVMM 2008 to manage a VMware environment, but I am unable to create new virtual machines on the VMware environment. Use VMMCA 2008 to evaluate the Virtual Center environment for commonly known issues.
Scenario 4 – I am using the integration between SCVMM 2008 and Operations Manager, but I am unable to see a particular VM or Host in the integrated mapping view. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the host or virtual machine for an operations manager agent.
Scenario 5 – I am using SCVMM 2008 to do P2V conversions and the job is failing. Use VMMCA 2008 to check the P2V source for commonly known issues.
Scenario 6 - I tried to create a Virtual Machine and it failed during customization and installation of virtual guest services. Use VMMCA 2008 on the Windows Host to find commonly known issues.
The SCVMM 2008 and 2008 R2 Microsoft Product Support Reports helps Support Professionals, IT Pros and System Administrators gathering critical system and logging information used in troubleshooting support issues. Built upon the success of earlier versions of SCVMM MPS Reports, this new release adds compatibility for SCVMM 2008 R2 and Windows 2008 R2 OS platform.
Where to get it
SCVMM 2008 and 2008 R2 MPS Reports are available at the Download Center URL link here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4e3dc013-c299-4b80-9735-64a8b9fa60c7
Data Collected
The Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) version of the MPS Reporting Tool gathers the following diagnostic data for the VMM server, the virtual machine hosts and library servers that the VMM server manages, and physical to virtual conversion (P2V) source computers:
Basic Instructions
INSTALLING THE MPS REPORTING TOOL ================================= >>>To install the MPS Reporting Tool
By default, the MPS Reporting Tool is installed in the %SystemRoot%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager folder.
I've seen a number of customers run into networking and general communication issues following a move to Windows 2008 R2. And to manage Windows 2008 R2 you must be running SCVMM 2008 R2. Both require checking for updates.
Windows 2008 R2 – Make sure the network card drivers are up to date… all of them. If the server vendor does not have drivers updated for Windows 2008 (or R2), check the site of the actual NIC manufacturer as most built-in NICs are simply rebranded. This will solve a majority of your networking issues off the bat. Make sure you update the drivers on the VMM Server as well as the Hosts.
SCVMM 2008 R2 – Did you upgrade from SCVMM 2008 to SCVMM 2008 R2? If so, you should check each Host in the SCVMM Admin Console to determine if the agents have been updated. If not, update them now by right clicking on them and selecting 'Update Agent.'
If you have performed the actions detailed above and are still experiencing communication issues with Hosts you can uninstall the 'Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager Agent' manually on the Hosts from 'Control Panel> Programs and Features.' After this, go back to the SCVMM Admin Console, remove the Host by right clicking on it and selecting 'Remove Host.' Once removed, add it back with the Admin Console by selecting 'Add Host' under Actions on the right side of the console. This will clear up any agent update issues.
This covers two of the most common issues seen lately. If still experiencing issues check some of the other posts on this site that address other possible reasons. Good luck, and enjoy the new product!

Orlando Timber Creek senior slot receiver Javonte Seabury has received his first scholarship offer from Kent State. (CHRIS HAYS/ORLANDO SENTINEL)
Orlando Timber Creek slot receiver Javonte Seabury has committed to Florida State.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder said he mulled his options and just decided FSU was the place for him.
"I committed because I like Florida State and I love the coaches," Seabury said. "It's not too far away and my mom hads a good relationship with Coach [Rick] Tricket and I just like it."
Seabury's commitment now puts the pressure on younger brother and 2015 running back prospect Jacques Patrick, who is ranked by 247sports.com's composite rankings as the No. 15 running back in the country for his class.
The two brothers have often expressed their desire to play together in college.
"I know that it puts a lot of pressure on him and hopefully he will make that decision and commit to Florida State," Seabury said, "but he has a lot of offers to choose from and if he doens't I still support him ... but it would be great if he was to come play with me."
The commitment obviously gives the 'Noles a leg up on the recruitment of Patrick, who has 45 FBS scholarship offers.
Seabury picked Florida State over offers from Miami and Kent State and his recruitment had just started to pick up as the summer progressed. He was offered by FSU head Coach Jimbo Fisher in person on Wednesday while he was in town on a quick visit.
Seabury is the 20th commitment to the FSU 2014 recruiting class and second from the Orlando area, joining WR Ryan Sousa.

Top 5 Advertising Companies Loved by Hedge Funds
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Hedge fund activity is an essential indicator for individual investors to follow. On an aggregate level, the smart money's sentiment can be used as a screening technique to determine which stocks are the best investments in a particular industry. At Insider Monkey, our empirical research shows that individuals who mimic hedge funds can beat the market by double-digits annually (see the details of our market-beating strategy here).
S&P calls 2013 a "transition year" for the advertising industry, with a secular shift toward digital billboards offset by fewer top-dollar opportunities like the Olympics, for example. Still, over the long term, advertising companies can be an integral part of any investor's portfolio. By using our database of 13F filings with the SEC, we can take a look at just how hedge funds are playing this space.
Of the 400+ hedge funds we track, Interpublic Group of Companies (NYSE: IPG) is the most popular advertising stock, held by 27 money managers at the end of the last 13F filing period. Interpublic Group has generated impressive rates of return across the board and has grown its earnings by an average of 10.5% a year over the past half-decade. Growth is expected to slow a few ticks going forward to the high-single digits, but the company's generally aggressive acquisitive efforts have most analysts bullish. Wall Street's average price target on IPG represents an 8-9% upside from current levels, and a dividend yield close to 2% offers income-seeking investors comfort as well.
Tied with Interpublic we have Lamar Advertising (NASDAQ: LAMR), which is the top small-cap pick of one hedge fund in particular (see which hedge fund on Insider Monkey). Lamar has some of the most impressive growth prospects in this industry, with a transition to digital billboards driving the sell-side's extreme current-year (120%) and year-ahead (262%) bottom line growth forecasts.
Shares of Lamar are generally overvalued, but this momentum-driven stock can see further gains if it outpaces the Street's quarterly EPS estimates next month. Analysts are expecting Lamar to finish its fiscal fourth quarter with earnings of 10 cents a share, which would represent 43% growth from last year. Worth noting is that Lamar did issue light EPS totals last quarter despite beating on revenues; we'll be watching the company's report closely.
In third place sits Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC), another key player in the global advertising industry. The agencies under Omnicom's banner include DDB and BBDO, among others, and the company's more modest growth prospects have left it undervalued by investors. The sell-side predicts Omnicom to grow its earnings by 8-9% a year over the next half-decade, almost 3 percentage points higher than average growth since 2007. The stock trades at a mere 13.7 times forward earnings and is priced at a 26% discount to its industry's average. Omnicom also offers a higher dividend yield (2.2%) than both Lamar and Interpublic.
The fourth most popular advertising stock among hedge funds is Focus Media Holding (UNKNOWN: FMCN.DL). Focus Media has a greater focus on video ads than its aforementioned peers, and offers products in movie theatres, retailers, and other heavily frequented areas. As can probably be expected, this business has given Focus Media more stability in comparison to most players in this industry. It has beaten the Street's earnings in the last five consecutive consecutive quarters, and revenue totals have been impressive as well. Of the seven analysts who cover Focus Media, six have buy ratings on the stock, and the group's price target indicates that a 30% upside is expected from current levels. It's easy to see why this stock is a hedge fund favorite.
Last but certainly not least we have National CineMedia (NASDAQ: NCMI), held by 13 of the hedgies we track. National CineMedia focuses on advertising within movie theatres, and is actually a joint venture between Regal, AMC and Cinemark. National CineMedia has generated relatively unimpressive earnings recently, missing the Street's Q3 estimates by 5.5%.
A reliance on one particular marketplace can affect results, though, and in the long run, the sell-side expects EPS growth to come around 7-8% over the next five years—nearly double that of its historical average. A sky-high dividend yield near 6% is a nice bonus for a stock that has returned 12.3% over the past year. One of the most bullish hedge fund managers in this stock is Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies (see Jim Simons' favorite stock picks).

Defining email attachement as a variable
9 September 2009 at 7:47pm
I want to change the attachment that is sent on an automated email by selecting the filename from a table. In simple form I want to do this.
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist","ID=1");
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/'$filename.FileName, '$filename.FileName');
I know I have a couple of problems with this because even if I use
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/test.pdf, $filename.FileName);
The filename is given as FileName rather than its actual value.
Any thoughts, thanks

I am still scratching my head over this one. Has anyone got any ideas?

There were two problems with it
1. The use of the property name FileName. Changed this to MFFileName
2. I was not using get_by_id properly. I was writing it as a filter
It works as
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist", 6);
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/ItsMyLifeCounselling.pdf', $filename->MFFileName);

So I have solved part of the problem but I need to make the filepath variable as well so instead of
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist", 7);
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/ItsMyLifeCounselling.pdf', $filename->MFFileName);
It needs to look something like this
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist", 7);
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/'$filename->MFFileName, $filename->MFFileName);
but this errors with "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/html/SilverStripe/userforms/code/UserDefinedForm.php on line 404" so I tried
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist", 7);
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile('assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/'.$filename->MFFileName, $filename->MFFileName);
it doesn't error but I no longer get an attachment.
Any ideas how I should format it?

Well the attachFile function runs file_get_contents() on what you pass and the encoding is done in /sapphire/email/Mailer.php.
-First try getting the path of your file with $filename->getFullPath();
-Second, be sure to specify a MIME type as the third arg of attachFile($filename, $attachedFilename = null, $mimetype = null)
If you have an older version of php, try mime_content_type(): http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php
In 5.3+ use Fileinfo(): http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.fileinfo.php
Also have you checked your headers to be sure some MTA or virus scanner isn't stripping your attachments along the way?
Re: Defining email attachement as a variable
18 September 2009 at 9:17am
Sorry I shouldn't have said I no longer get the attachment. It is there but it is not accessible as (I am assuming) the filepath is not correct. I changed it to
$filename = DataObject::get_by_id("MonkeysFist", 6);
$filepath = "assets/Uploads/mf_attachments/$filename->MFFilename";
$emailToSubmiter->attachFile($filepath, $filename->MFFileName);
and it works
Re: Defining email attachement as a variable
19 September 2009 at 2:36pm
Spoke to soon.
There is an appropriately named attachment but its is only 1K in size i.e. there is no actual file there so the filename is still wrong.
Any thoughts on what to try next?

Western Farmers Cope With Air Quality Issues
Air quality will always be an issue in the arid Western states of the Cotton Belt. Western cotton producers and their leadership continue to make sure that the regulation of particulate matter is not burdensome to their farm operations.
Congressional hearings in March highlighted many of the concerns that agriculture, in general, has about perceived, overly burdensome regulation.
Calif. Rep. Jim Costa told EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson at a recent House committee hearing, "I submit that your agency often pursues a course of 'agency activism.'"
Costa, who represents constituents in Kern, King and Fresno counties, pointed to the frustration of producers in his area who believe that the agency often oversteps its regulatory authority in its decisions.
In the hearing, Administrator Jackson defended the agency and pointed to a number of misperceptions about the EPA's focus, including the tightening of farm dust or PM 10 standards. She stated the agency is not trying to increase the regulation of dust
from farms.
"We have no plans to do so, but let me be clear, the Clean Air Act passed by Congress mandates that the Agency routinely review the science of various pollutants, including particulate matter," Jackson said.
But, according to the Arizona Farm Bureau, because of an EPA settlement with the Sierra Club and as part of a five-year review of air quality standards, Maricopa County may be under tighter regulation for PM10.
Tighter Standards
Kevin Rogers, Arizona Farm Bureau president, says the new standard would have the EPA trying to tighten the county's PM10 allowance of 150 ug/m3 to a much tighter standard of 65-85 ug/m3.
"We need to be concerned," says Rogers, a cotton farmer in Maricopa County. "Reducing the standards puts agriculture under the microscope."
Rogers was recently appointed to USDA's Agricultural Air Quality Task Force to "help provide guidance as the Administration pursues sound scientific research on agricultural air quality issues."
California leads the nation in air quality regulations, which are higher than national standards.
On the day California producer Cannon Michael was contacted for his comments on air quality concerns, he was focused on complying with California's reporting requirement for the ARB Heavy Duty On-Road Diesel Regulation.
The air quality regulation requires fleets that operate in California reduce diesel truck emissions and to retrofit or replace existing engines. It also required agricultural fleets report odometer readings for limited use agricultural trucks by April 29 of this year.
"The onslaught of regulation is never ending," says Michael, who is also the current chairman of the California Cotton Growers Association.
There is a cumulative effect on the entire process of reporting.
"In this morass of regulation, you're just not sure which one will hurt you," he says in regard to the restrictions that regulations place on an operation.
Getting Involved Pays Off
Like Michael, Don Cameron, vice president of Terranova Ranch and active leader in the California cotton community, believes that in order to be an effective influence in the regulatory environment you've got to get agriculture's message to the policymakers.
"We know we will be regulated," Cameron says.
That's why he advocates getting out in front and working with regulators to make sure any changes are sensible. He also doesn't want to be surprised by new policy.
Recently, Cameron hosted EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on his farm. She spent about an hour and a half with him on-site. It is part of the way he keeps on top of air quality issues.

Day 1 Louhans
Meet at 6pm for a group meeting on board before heading out for an optional group dinner. The boat has 4 cabins with attached bathrooms plus a cabin for your CEO. A shared lounge and kitchen round off the inside space with the outside boasting wooden garden furniture and an electric barbecue. Opt to rent a bicycle during your tour and store it on board, space permitting. Louhans is a small ancient walled city that was once occupied by the Spanish. Famous for the 157 arches found throughout the city, there are many beautiful buildings that serve as remnants of times past. Be sure to sample some of the rich culinary specialties such as the Bresse chicken and the corniotte pastry. Louhans is accessible by train from Dijon, which has multiple daily train connections to both Paris and Lyon.
Days 2-7 La Seille & Saône Rivers
The itinerary is very flexible and will depend on the traffic going through locks and spaces available at marinas. Cruise four to five hours a day along the Seillie and Saône rivers, maneuvering through locks and stopping at small villages along the way. Take your turn driving your boat if you'd like to give it a go. Start your trip off by cruising through a canal surrounded by vineyards and quintessential Burgundy countryside. All of our overnight stops are great jumping-off points for walks along the water's edge. Some of our overnight stays coincide with weekly markets that are great for picking up fresh produce, local cheeses and other other homemade goods. Hike the trails along the water and through the greenery of the Saône. Sample local wines and delicious French cuisine as you float along the waterways, stopping to visit picturesque towns and their beautiful vintage buildings en route, such as La Truchère, Tournus, Chalon-sur-Saône, Fragnes, Gigny-sur-Saône, and Pont-de-Vaux. Hike or cycle trails alongside the canal, visit a château or just relax aboard the boat. Opt to visit the culture-rich town of Beaune either by train or by cycling along beautiful vineyard-lined paths and roads en route. Explore the extensive underground wine cellars of Beaune and be sure to sample some of the gastronomical delights the town is famous for while you're there. If you'd prefer to stay in Chalon-sur-Saône, the local market and cathedral square are both highlights. The nearby Château de Pommard boasts an interesting museum, impressive sculptures, and well-manicured gardens. In Tournus, explore the alleyways, old buildings, and cafés of this town on the southern tip of Burgundy. Sample the artisanal chocolates and the best of the region's cheeses while you're here – they'll go great with the wine you pick up in Beaune. Tournus is home to Abbaye Saint Philibert, which has impressive mosaic work and is a great example of Romanesque architecture. If you'd prefer to visit neighbouring areas, consider exploring nearby Martailly-lès-Brancion, a small medieval village with a castle and covered market that are surrounded by typical Burgundy countryside – fields, vineyards, and charm. We float back into Louhans on the afternoon/evening of Day 7. Enjoy an optional final dinner with the group.
Day 8 Louhans
Depart at any time.

• De Blasio booed in Opening Day debut
• We knew Defense cuts were steep, but…
• The town that's wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop
The White House is declaring victory on ObamaCare's first open enrollment period, but you already knew that would happen. The rationale for the celebration is that government sources estimate 7 million people signed up for President Obama's new entitlement program before fines (kinda) kick in. The tout remains mostly meaningless until the government starts saying who those 7 million are. Success or failure will be determined by how many healthy, previously uninsured, paying customers have come aboard. Given the fact that the law caused millions to lose their coverage and empowers the IRS to punish people who fail to comply, getting 7 million people to at least start the process of enrollment is hardly miraculous, no matter how bad the Obamanauts are at the Internet. The main question from critics – How many of the enrollees were uninsured before? – and other icky items that will likely cause dramatic downward revisions to the number can wait a few weeks. There are many Friday afternoons this summer that look just perfect for some turkey drops. Today, though, it's time for the members of Team Obama to celebrate, that is unless you're Kathleen Sebelius.
["I think everyone is going to be really surprised and pleased how well this has turned out." –Vice President Joe Biden, during an ObamaCare pitch Monday on the "Rachel Ray Show"]
Kansas is lovely in springtime - How is Sebelius, widely blamed and lampooned for her role in the disastrous rollout of the law, holding up? Her vacant stare when an Oklahoma news anchor pointed out Monday that ObamaCare was perhaps the only thing less popular than tornadoes in the Sooner State suggests that the secretary is more than a little worse for wear. (Not that she's ever been a great spokeswoman.) Perhaps now is the moment, during this temporary, contrived victory celebration, to let her finally get some rest. The new federal contractor starts today for the Web site that Sebelius will always be remembered for wrecking. The replacement team begins working on the "back end" of the site (the part that actually connects payees to policies) and those maestros of mayhem from CGI are gone. Democrats are ready to forget a very unhappy six months from horrid launch to splashdown. This is also the moment when Sebelius could be tossed overboard with the minimum drama and maximum benefit. Remember, the president has been cagey on her culpability and prospects for continued service in his administration. When Bill O'Reilly asked her boss about firing her, Obamas only said "I promise you that we hold everybody up and down the line accountable, but when we are midstream, Bill, we want to make sure we our main focus is how do we make this thing work so people are able to sign up and that is what we have done." Well, we're through fording one stream, is it time for a fresh horse, Mr. President? You can do it now or ride it out until after Election Day.

GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) - Grand Chute police say two men from Illinois have been arrested for allegedly stealing car parts in the town.
Over the weekend, Quintohn Holmes and Reese Bell were taken into custody in connection with the catalytic converter thefts.
Each were charged with over a dozen counts, including 8 felonies on Monday.
According to Grand Chute police, the suspects were caught in Fond du Lac, thanks to a tip from police in Illinois.
The thefts have been on going since summer. Thieves sell the catalytic converters because they're made of precious metals like platinum.
Officers say Illinois police have been tracking the suspects for a while.
"We're told there's a possible ring down in Illinois and we don't even know how many people are involved there. We thought it was just the two as of yesterday, but with more people coming forward it's probably a bigger ring," Amanda Gollner with the Grand Chute Police Department tells FOX 11.
Gollner says since the suspects have been in jail, about 12 people have reported their converters were stolen in the past 24 hours.
If you have any information, call the Grand Chute Police Department at (920) 832-1575.

Rude Things People Say to Pregnant Women
Babysugar Diaries: Twins?
Adults say the darnedest things. The other day I shared an elevator with a woman who looked at me and asked, "So when are you due?" Breaking a smile I said, "Thanksgiving Day!" She looked at me and said, "Whoa! Twins?" I replied, "No. Just one." Used to insults from my last pregnancy, I left the store thinking that I don't care if I gain a whole bunch of weight as long as I have a healthy baby. But, it would be nice if people would keep their thoughts to themselves.
People aim some of the rudest comments at childbearing women. During my first pregnancy, one lady said to me, "I can tell it is going to be a girl by the way you're coming out on the sides." Who says that? What was the worst thing someone said to you while you were pregnant?

Sixteen years have passed and Renesmee is turning sixteen. The problem is that she has not stopped aging. She is not allowed to see Charlie or even attend school. She spends most her time with Jacob. She doesn't know that Jacob has imprinted on her. I hope you all love my preface!!
I will keep writing into it and I hope you all love it :)
I knew I was winning the race as soon as it started. I could hear my opponent far behind me, trying to catch up. I laughed quietly, but I knew he could still hear me.
"C'mon Jacob," I called out to him. "You always let me win. Or am I really that fast?"
I heard Jacob's wolfy chuckle-or at least I hoped it was a chuckle. His paws began to claw at the ground harder, pushing himself faster. His breathing picked up by just a second, and he was practically a rocket. He was now four hundred yards away from me. I began to worry.
I pushed myself foward, hopping that I could still be in the lead. It wasn't easy being half human and half vampire. I was faster than a human but a bit slower than a vampire. I hated that.
Jacob was now one hundred yards away from me. I could hear him breathing evenly, as if he was walking instead of running. He past me just seconds later with a huge grin on his face. He jumped into the bushes and disappeared.
I slowed down a bit, to annoyed to continue. I met Jacob in the backyard of my home. He was in his human form now, still grinning. When I walked to stand next to him, he said, "You didn't really think you faster than me, did you, Nessie?"
"A little," I admitted.
Jacob laughed. "Think again."
I rolled my eyes but smiled. We both walked to the front of the house, hearing the conversation in the living room. I saw mom and dad with auntie Alice and uncle Jasper when I looked through the window. Jasper had a worried look of his face.
When we both entered the room, a wave of frustraion appeared. Jasper must be in a bad mood. I took three steps when aunt Rosalie walked down the stairs. She smiled at me, and then frowned when she looked at Jacob.
"I guess Nessie walked the dog today," Rosalie muttured in a dusgusted voice.
Jacob grinned. "Aw c'mon Rosalie, I know you love me being here. I see you made it down the steps and being able to talk without falling this time. I'm proud of you."
Rosalie rolled her eyes at him and went to go sit next to Alice while Jacob walked off to the kitchen. I heard the fridge door open.
I sat next to mom, who was frowning at Rosalie when she said, "That mut needs to stop coming in here like he owns the place."
"Rose," mom said, "Jacob is welcomed here any time. You know that."
Dad scoffed. "That can be rearranged."
Mom glared at him. "You two just have to consider that Jacob is going to be part of the family soon, so you have to learn to like him."
"You don't even like the idea of it," Jasper noted.
Mom shrugged.
"What are you guys talkig about?" I asked, confused.
Mom looked uneasy. "I'll tell you later."
Alice coughed, trying to hide laughter. Dad grinned and said, "That is exactly what I am talking about."
Mom, Jasper, Rosalie, and I were confused now. We waited for an answer.
Instead Alice shook her head and said, "That's not really what it means. Remember, it can change-which will be soon. I'm sure of it."
Dad tried not to frown and look at me, but he couldn't help it.
I knew what they were talking about: my future. Now that Alice was able to see my future, dad has made her keep tabs on me 24/7. I owe it all to grandpa Carlisle.

Jacob was waiting for me in front of his house when I arrived. Instead of his usual shirtless and cut-off jeans I would always see him in, he was wearing black jeans and a dark blue shirt. His hair was combed for once. I smiled at him when he came up to me and gave me a huge bare hug.
"I missed you Nessie," he said in my hair.
"I missed you too, Jacob," I said with my last breath.
Jacob laughed and set me on my feet again. "I was really glad you called."
I waited to speak until I was able to breath right again. "Me too. I would have called sooner, but things were still tense back home."
He nodded. "I wanted to talk to you about that. I really am sorry that I made things worse with you and your family. I know that telling them about--"
I interrupted him by hugging him again. "I get that you were just trying to look out for me, and I appreciate that. All I did was ignore why you would it. I thought it was just so you could bug me."
Jacob laughed.
"The truth was, you really cared, didn't you?" I asked.
Jacob nodded. "I'd do anything for you, Renesmee, you know that."
"I know."
We were standing so close to each other our chests were nearly touching. Jacob's head was resting on my forehead. His brown eyes got me thinking about things. I saw that our lips were very close to each other. Just one move and we could...
I know that I couldn't think of Jacob in any other way than a friend. That's all we were. He didn't think of me as anything more.
My heart began to race when I thought things through.
Jacob took my hand and said, "C'mon. I want to show you something."
Jacob took me into the woods far from were we usually go so I was beginning to get curious. I would ask him where he was taking me, but he just kept smiling and walked with me by his side, hands still holding.
I began to hear water running as we kept walking. It sounded like a waterfall. I also smelled tulips.
There were just a couple of trees and bushes in the way from what I could see. Jacob stopped when he saw that we were almost there. He turned to me and smiled again. "I found this place two weeks ago, and remembered how you were always looking for a place where no one can find you."
The look on my face had Jacob's smile grow even wider and walked with me the rest of the way.
Once we broke out from the trees, I understood what he meant.
We were standing at a field where there were purple tulips everywhere--and I didn't even know tulips grew here in Forks-- with a waterfall just to the right connecting with a wide river. There was a tree close to the edge of the river, with a natural grown tree trunk sticking out of the ground like a bench. It looked too good to be true.
"It's beautiful,"I finally managed to say. The sun was out for once, so it made everything glow just perfectly.
Jacob squeezed my hand. "I'm glad you love it."
"It's perfect," I said to him. "You, Jacob, are the most amazing guy I ever knew!" I hugged him again.
Jacob laughed again and held me close to his chest. It wasn't his usual bear hugs; it was a different hug. One of those types of hugs where you felt safe, and didn't want to leave that person's arms. In this case, Jacob's.
"I love you Jacob," I told him. I was surprised how different my voice sounded when I said that. It sounded so sure.
Jacob must have noticed too. He looked down at me, his eyes searching for something. "Nessie..."
I saw that his face was close again to mine. I leaned in, wanting to brush my lips with his. I know we were just friends, but I couldn't handle it anymore. Being away from him for weeks made that pulling stronger when I saw him again. I couldn't hold back anymore.
Our lips were just touching when I backed off all of a sudden, shocked to see what I had just seen in my head.
Chapter 4
Jacob was on red alert. "Nessie? What is it? Are you okay?"
I was having trouble breathing. My head still hadn't yet wrapped around on what just happened. I sat on the tree truck bench and took a deep breath.
Jacob was on his knees in front of me now. He took my hands in his, but I snatched them away in fear. "Renesmee, tell me what;s wrong. The suspense is killing me. Please!"
I shook my head and took another deep breath. "I heard you."
He was confused but calmed down a bit. "What do you mean? Are you okay?"
"I..." I was finally able to look at him. "I think so."
Jacob sat next to me. "What happened to you?"
"I..." What was I suppose to tell him? I couldn't find the right words to tell him what I had seen.
"Renesmee, you can tell me," he said in a soft voice.
"I heard you," I finally said to him. "I heard what you were thinking."
This time Jacob was quiet. I counted to thirty two when he finally said, "How?"
"I don't know," I admitted. "I just heard you.It was like you said it aloud, but I knew you didn't. It's like I had opened your mind or something. It scared me."
"What did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything specific," I lied. "You were thinking so many things at the same time, I couldn't understand you. That's the part that scared me."
He sighed. "I'm so sorry."
I rested my head on his shoulder. "It's not your fault. This is probably another version of my father's gift mixed with my mother's. It just startled me."
Jacob wrapped one arm around me. "Are you sure you're okay? Your heart is racing."
I nodded. The truth was that my heart was only beating fast because I had almost kissed Jacob. I was barely able to get the taste of his lips when all those thoughts of his interrupted me and filled my head.
"C'mon," he said. "I'll take you home."
Jacob walked me to the front door when we arrived. I could tell something was on his mind, but he didn't say anything in the end. He said his goodbyes and jogged off into the woods before shifting form. I could still hear what he was thinking in his head. It sent a shiver down my spine. I walked in and found everyone in the living room, talking to one another. They all turned to me as I closed the door.
"Good," I said. "You are all here. I need to talk to you about something."
Of course my dad was already one step ahead of everyone. He starred at me in shock as he read my mind. "How is that possible?"
"What is it?" mom asked.
My father explained everything because I didn't understand everything myself either. I sat next to mom, letting her comb her hair with her fingers. It always soothed me when I was a little kid, and it still does. I waited until father finished. I was glad he left out the part where Jacob and I almost kissed and changed it to where we hugged. I know he didn't want anything else to complicate our family.
"This is very interesting," Carlisle said when dad finished. "I never thought your powers of mind reading could be recreated into something different. The way you are able to read someone's mind with just a touch..."
"Maybe it's a one time thing," I said. "I can't read Jasper's mind while his hand is on my shoulder." I know Jasper was just trying to calm me, but his touch made me nervous. I was glad when I couldn't read what he was thinking."
"Perhaps. The new gift would probably need time to be able to be controlled. Maybe practicing would help you get a better understanding."
I nodded. I wanted to learn just as much as everyone else did. I was starting to enjoy the thought of being able to read someone's thoughts. Especially Jacob's. He would be quiet at some times when we were together, it made me curious to what he would be thinking. I would finally be able to know. Just like I know what he was thinking when I was about to kiss him.
This is finally happening, he thought. Does she really want this? I can't let this happen if she isn't sure about this. She's leaning in! She has to want this!
I came back in time from my revere when Alice Gasped all of a sudden. We all snapped our heads toward her. Jasper had left my side and was by hers in less than half a second. His hands on either side of her face. "What is it?"
"The Vulturi," she whispered, her eyes still far away."
"What about them?" Esme asked her.
"They are talking to Renesmee, trying make her an offer. I can't make out the words exactly. Something about...us, and..." She blinked. "The vision faded."
Dad was on his feet. "Why was Jacob there? The Vulturi do not have some type of agreement with them. He will be murdered!"
"I didn't see them threatening his life. They must have some type of agreement to leave Jacob alone," Alice assured him. "He isn't in any danger."
"How are you sure?" I asked her.
She didn't answer.
I was hiding in a tree, outside of grandpa Charlie's house. It was just around five, the time he would be arriving home. I knew it was a bad idea to be here, but I couldn't help it. It has been almost seven years since I've seen him, and it was just a dim memory of him. My family didn't want him to see me until years passed until I finally looked of aged. It would be strange if I were to show up at his doorstep with the body of a sixteen year old and the mind of a genius. No one wanted to take anymore chances.
Twelve minutes passed when I finally heard his car turning down the street. My heart began to beat faster as his car pulled up the driveway. He got out of his car.
Charlie looked just as I remembered in my memories, but older. Grey hairs were beginning to show in his hair and mustache. Wrinkles were forming just next to his eyes. I smelled his scent from all the way up the tree. It was sweet, yet it made my troat burn. It wasn't as painful as full vampires, just irritating.
I watched as he unlocked his front door and walk inside his home. The same home mom lived in for years until she married dad.
I wish I could walked right up to him and give him a huge hug. But I would either scare the hell out of him or crush him. Maybe both. I knew I had to listen to my parents.
So I sighed and ran back home.
It was only a matter of time when everyone in my family found out where I had been for the past couple of hours. Dad was furious and began to yell as soon as I walked through the door. It took mom a while to finally calm him down, though she wasn't so happy either. Alice told me what I did was wrong and could have exposed us if he saw me. I nodded and didn't object to my punishment:
I wasn't allowed to leave the house without someone to watch over me.
"Think twice before you go to Charlie's next time," dad told me before leaving the living room and going to his. Mom sighed and patted my hand before leaving and following him. She was probably going to convince him into letting it slide.
"It's not like she wanted him to see her. You know what happened," I heard her say to him upstairs. I didn't continue to listen to their conversation.
"What did you do now, Nessie?" Jacob asked as soon as he walked in. He must have heard my fater's punishment while on his way over here.
"I'll explain later," I told him. I realized something and turned to the stairs again. Dad, does Jacob include as the watcher? I thought. You know he'll be responsible.
There was silence for a moment, and then I finally heard my dad said yes quietly.
I smiled and thought, thank you, before heading towards the kitchen to where Jacob was. He was holding a strawberry in his hand when he turned to face me.
I laughed. "You never stop eating, don't you?" I asked.
He smiled. "Only when I phase back into human."
"No wonder. Billy told me that he always complains to you about your eating habits. He has to eat too, you know," I said.
Now he laughed. "I just can't stop phasing. I have a job to do."
"I know," I said. "That's what you get for being leader of the pack. Chief Jacob," I say before snatching the strawberry from his hand and taking a bite.
"Hey!" Jacob protested. I laughed again and handed him the rest of the strawberry. He gladly took it and finished it. I noticed that he had a shirt and shoes on. "Your day off today?" I asked.
"Yep. Want to do something?"
"Yes!" I was glad to be leaving the house again. Everyone still talked about going to school, witch made me sad. Anything to distract me would be great.
Jacob explained to me that Leah and the rest were helping out Sam's pack protect their land. A vampire has been going back and killing people there.
"Do you miss having a life there?" I asked him as soon as we reached the beach. We walked along the shore, glancing down at our feet when the water splashed us with cold water. Well, I think it was cold by the way people screamed when the water touched them. I couldn't really tell.
He looked out into the ocean, not meeting my gaze. "Sometimes. I miss seeing my dad most of the time, and going to school. Ha, that's a first."
I smiled. "Why don;t you go back?"
"And be the only twenty-two year old who's going to high school? That's normal," he said.
I shook my head when Jacob turned to face me. "You're mot really considered twenty-two. You stay sixteen if you keep phasing right?"
Jacob thought for a moment. "I guess."
"My family can help you if you want to go back to school," I told him. "They create new documents saying you're sixteen, even if you aren't."
Jacob shrugged. "What's the point of going back to school if that means less time being part of the pack? And less time I get to spend with you? It's not very good."
Now I shrugged. "I want to go to school to. But the whole seven years thing is making this complicated."
Jacob nudged me gently. "Can't your family create fake documents that say you're sixteen?"
I laughed. "They can, but they just don't want to."
He took my hand and squeezed it gently.
EEE!! Update soon, please Kippy? I LOVE this.
And I really feel like I'm reading the fifth book, if there were one.
I starred out into the sea, trying not to look at Jacob's face when I said, "I can hear what you're thinking."
Jacob was quiet for a moment. "You sound like your dad. Just add the throwing items and you'll be a mini him."
I laughed. "He only does that when you talk bad about my family. Mostly to Rose, right?"
"I finally understood it, the second time it happened. The first time I just thought I was going crazy," I explained.
"That was when you were with me," he said. It wasn't a question.
I nodded.
"Nessie, I would like it better if you looked at me."
I sighed and turned my head. His brown eyes made me feel warm inside.My heart began to beat faster. I tried to make sure Jacob wouldn't hear so I began walking, still looking at him. "I'm sorry I freaked out that day. It just really scared me. I finally understand how my dad felt the first time he heard voices in his head."
"Is your gift the same as his? Can you read everyone's mind at the same time?"
I shook my head. "I practiced it a bit for the last few days. I found out that I can hear what you are thinking only if I want to. I could either hear everyone's thoughts at the same time or only one person's. If I don't want to hear anyone, I can turn it off like a light switch."
Jacob grinned. "That's awesome!" Then he was serious again. "Wait, so what did you hear just now?"
"What do you think? You plan on taking me up to the cliffs and try to get me to jump. And if I wouldn't, you'd just pick me up and jump down."
Jacob's cheeks darkened. "You never liked the water. I just wanted you to loosen up a bit."
I laughed. "I would have probably said yes just for the fun of it."
That brought some light into his eyes. He took my hand and said, "Let's go!"
"You're crazy," I said.
We were both standing at the edge of the cliffs where Jacob and the rest of the wolves would come to clif dive just for the rush. I tried not to panic when I looked down at the ocean at the bottom.
"You afraid of heights?" Jacob teased.
"You've climbed trees higher than this!"
"I know how I'm going to land. I could get hurt if I do this. I am still part human," I told him.
"Your mom survived this when she was human," he told me.
I glared at him. "Nice try. She already told me the while story. She hit her head on the rocks because the tides were too strong for her."
"Yes, but you are part vampire. You can handle it. Plus," he said, standing so close to me I could feel the heat of his body warming mine. "I'll be with you. If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it."
I thought for a moment. Finally I shook my head and said, "no."
Jacob sighed. "I didn't want to have to do this."
I was quicker than Jacob. Before he could wrap his arms around me, I turned and danced my way out of them. I pushed him away from me. He was about to fall off the edge, but managed to grab my hand and pull me with him.
We both screamed as we fell into the ocean.
The water wasn't as cold as it should have been for me. I would sometimes forget that I couldn't get cold.
Jacob had already broken surface, but I stayed underwater a bit longer than a human could. I watched as the surface sparkled like diamonds as the sun shined its light against it. I wanted to stay there forever. But of course Jacob had other plans. As soon as I broke surface I splashed water in his face. "I cannot believe you did that!'
He laughed. "Admit it, you thought it was fun.'
"No," I lied. "You are stupid to think this is fun.'
Jacob swam closer to me. "Nessie, I did it so you could see what it's like to have fun once in a while. You're always thinking about that vision Alice had or your big birthday party everyone is throwing."
I frowned. "That is not true. I know how to have fun."
"Prove it," he said with a grin.
This time I was the one who swam closer. We were so close that our chests were touching. I rested my hands on his shoulders. Jacob leaned in, and just as we were about to kiss I pushed him underwater and jumped on his head, I flew into the air and cannon-balled back into the water a few feet away from him.
I looked back at Jacob; he had just broken surface again and looked around for me. Once he spotted me he smiled and shook his head.
"You coming or what?" I asked him. I began to swim back to the beach, and waited for Jacob to reach me.
We walked to his house and he changed into something dry. Then we ran back to my house so I could changed. Only mom was home when we got there. Jacob and I ate there and then watched television in the living room. I rested my head on his shoulder while he picked through channel, until he found a football game. We argued over who would win until mom came in the room to tell us she had to run an errand.
How are you holding up with the party planning?" Jacob asked me when it was half time.
I shrugged. "It's getting easier to handle every day now. I'm beginning to realize how much fun it could be."
"You are actually liking the idea of having a party?" he asked, shocked.
I smiled. "Not really."
"You are going, right?" I asked him.
Jacob hesitated on his answer. "Maybe it would be best if I didn't go. There are a ton of vampires going and we didn't get along the first time. I don't want to crash you party."
"If you don't go then I won't have any real fun," I told him. "I need you there, Jake."
He smiled. "I'll think about it."
I starred at him.
Finally he sighed and said, "Fine. I'll go."
I squealed and gave him a big hug. I kissed him on the cheek and said, "I'm glad. This will be the first time I'm going to see you in a tux."
"Wait, I have to wear a tux?"
I nodded.
"Oh now. Forget it. I am not going to wear a tux. I'm not going."
"Jake, please."
He shook his head. "I don't think so, Nessie. It's bad enough I have to be in a room filled with vampires again, but I'm not going to dress up like a doll. Everyone will laugh."
"I don't care what everyone will think. You are the only important person who I want to next to me the whole night."
He sighed again. "You make this so difficult."
I took Jacob's hand in mine and said very softly, "Please, Jacob?"
I knew Jacob's answer before he said it. I was glad to be able to read his mind to know the truth and how he really felt. "Okay."
I hugged him again.
Chapter 5
I dreamed that I was in my family's living room, but I wasn't alone. There were dozens of other vampires sitting on the couch, standing around, and outside in the back as I walked around. It was strange because I knew all of them, their names, their voices, and their powers. They all ignored me though; they all talked among themselves, but I heard what they were all saying:
Who knows what will happen to her--to us?
Her kind is so new to us, I wonder what we will learn from her.
I don't care what she is just as long as we get to fight the Volturi.
I found my parents in the backyard with a few familiar strangers. The strangest part was that I was on my mom's back, as a toddler. I clung to my mother's neck and watched as one of the vampires took slow steps towards us. My mom warned her to back off, but she wouldn't listen.
The next thing I knew I felt something strange form around both my mom and the younger version of me. I knew instantly that it was her shield.
I woke up sweaty and gasping for air. I looked around to find myself in my room. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Someone must have brought me here while I fell asleep in the living room last night.
As I got ready for the day I thought about the dream. How was it possible that I was able to see myself from another point of view? And why were there so many vampires there? There were so many questions spinning in my head, and I knew I had to get the answers from my parents.
so sorry guys I've been really busy lately and havent had time to write my story. I will write as soon as possible! thank you all for reading! xoxoxo

What other readers are saying about this title:
A.E.C.M. said:
It was one of the strangest books I have ever read. It was like someone mashed a teen love story with bad characters and boring plot with a emotional-not logical, as mysteries should be-mystery with predictable plot. The main character reminded me of the typical rebellious and emotional teenager. It was all so strange, and makes me wonder if some people really do stay in the 'high school' mentality all their lives. The mystery wasn't even that good, and it could not make up for the bad characters, especially the main character. This is why I prefer to read only historical mysteries, because none are as bad as this. It was a good idea, but somewhere along the line it went so wrong.

I have a friend who is running away from God.
Judge if we may, but we do it, too.
He asks us to do something, we get scared and stay busy with other things.
Some Jesus follower hurts us and we decide God can't be trusted, either.
The noise of the world gets to us and convinces us the other way is easier and better.
Thank God His patience is not exhaustible, for all of us would have surely run out of His good graces by now.
But as my friend struggles to find her place with God, and as I consider words to say to help her, what I have been thinking about lately is simply this:
We all have to be tamed of something.
We don't like this. We like the idea of spirited horses running wild and free and people, too, and we think it is the being untamed part that causes that to happen.
But the truth is, the more God tames us the more we live in the wild and free.
We all have to lose our will at some point. We all have to trust more than we doubt.
We all have to find faith that doesn't come easy and sometimes appears to be hiding in that spot we can't quickly find.
It is real life, that we are wild and out of control in and of ourselves and we must stop running away thinking that is the answer to the screaming within our chest for independence and purpose.
Those things are only found in God. We can run, far and fast, but it won't change.
We will have just run our guts out and wound up exhausted.
*Think about this: What have you found to be true about running away from God? Are you currently running?

Skrillex @ Wrongbar Part 1: Backstage Bonanza
4 Dec
My Dearest Sonny Mooore,
It has been close to 4 days since that magical night at Wrongbar, where you rammed your musical fist up Toronto's ass, and I am still in a state of recovery. Since the beginning of the summer up until now, I have been to Bonnaroo, Electric Zoo and close to 30 DJ sets and can honestly say that never have I witnessed a such a high level of sheer rhapsody spew from both performer and crowd during a performance. If all the sweat from every person at Wrongbar was collected and purified, we could have solved the water crisis in the Middle East.
But I digress…as those unlucky few who are reading this that didn't attend the concert, deserve to know in full detail what they missed.
Upon immidiate entry to the club, it was easy to assume that this was going to be a fantastical evening. After receiving a complimentary vodka soda, I made my way over to the couches on the side of the pit, where I was able to get a great view of the Killabits throwing down. Skrillex was not even in the building yet, and already the crowd was rowdy as fuck and partially drenched (due in large part to the minimal amounts of free oxygen that are available at Wrongbar). It was here that I sustained the first of many injuries on the night, when I merked my hand on one of those fire sprinkler things on the ceilings and began bleeding profusely, but who gives a fuck right? The Killabits whipped the crowd into a frenzy for the entirety of their hour long bangfest, which is all the more impressive as they weren't able to play any of the Skrillex songs they usually sprinkle on their sets, as to not offend the man of the evening.
Towards the end of the Killabits set I was lucky enough to sit down briefly with Omar Linx, the extremely talenented up-and-coming rapper from Toronto, who is featured on Zeds Dead's track "Out For Blood" as well as on a bunch of tracks on their upcoming album. He is a very humble guy and I am very much looking forward to sitting down for a full interview with him later this week. I also had the honor of saying a quick hello to Zack; one half of Zeds dead who didn't really care to acknowledge me, which isn't a big deal as im sure he had already faced a gaggle of drunken retards telling him how amazing he is prior to having met me.
As Zeds Dead took to the booth, you could see every nipple of every person in the crowd slowly becoming erect in anticipation. Zack and Dylan have been performing a set close to every week for the past couple of months and have built an esteemed reputation for themselves within the Toronto Dubstep community. Prior to this I had seen them spin as a headliner at Jim Bob's in London, and as an opener for Crookers in Toronto, both of which performances were boner throbbing ragefests. Unfortunately the duo were faced with some technical difficulties during this set at Wrongbar, which heavily hindered the power of their performance, but again, this has nothing to do with the talent of this dynamic duo. All in all they managed to pull off a decent enough set and played their part as a stepping stone for the main event of the evening.
By the time Zeds Dead was finished, I had already snaked my way onto the right hand side of the stage, next to the DJ booth. As the chants for Skrillex began to flood the building and the demon of destruction began setting up his equipment, the only thing separating me from Sonny was the burley outstretched arm of a bouncer that smelled like rotten cabbage. I remained in my cabbage related prison for the first couple of songs that Skrillex began his set with, but in the end my drunken ingenuity was too powerful for such a feeble minded and smelly bouncer. I was able to crawl under a table that separated the stage and enter the the more prestige, promotor filled section that was situated right behind Sonny himself. From here I found my buddy Jeff who had been stealthfully lurking in the back the of the VIP side all along. We dutched the pinner that had been concealed in my pocket, and proceeded to bring some unadulterated energy to an area where most were "too civilized" to rage (tip: by wrapping ur j's in tinfoil before putting them in your pocket, they remain crisp and dry no matter how sweaty you get).
Since the stage was uber small, I was easily able to work my way through the photographers and settle next to everybody's favorite Nate Black, who had the privilege of being situated directly behind Skrillex himself. Thanks to Nate, I was able to gain a proximity to Sonny that I will never experience again for the rest of my life. Upon realizing this, I took it upon myself to make sure my presence was known. I almost immediately lit up a cigarette and being well aware of Sonny's ravaging addiction, tapped him on the shoulder mid-set to offer it to him. After three or four pokes Sonny turned around and stared me directly in the face, with a very energetically confused look. "Whats wrong?!" he exclaimed with immediate concern, "Is everything ok?." "Of course!" I responded, "Your the king Sonny and your killing it!, I just wanted to know if you wanted this!" I held up the cigarette and watched as his face lit up like the 4th of July. "Holy fuck do I ever!," he exclaimed, and took a much needed first drag. It was one of the single greatest moments in my life, and gave me a first hand experience to the incredible humbleness of Sonny Moore. If this wasn't enough, I was able to relive the encounter when I handed him a second cigarette after he hopped back in the booth following his ridiculous crowd surfing sesh.
After dropping 3 Ludacris tracks out of nowhere, he left the crowd in a frenzy when he dropped his remix of La Roux's "In For The Kill" as his finishing track. As Moses did to the waters of the Red Sea, Skrillex parted the crowd down the middle to make room and build up energy for the imminent drop. The crowd promptly separated and anxiously awaited until the final decible before the drop to release their pent up rage. The beat dropped, and like the chasing Egyptian army of old, the crowd was drowned in chaos.
After grabbing my bag and making my way outside to join my friends, Skrillex graced our prescence for the final time as he was being escorted to a cab. Against the order of his 5 secutiry guards, Skrillex promptly made a B line for all his adoring fans in the smokers pit, shaking hands and answering any and every drunken statement and question thrown his way with a big smile. He thanked me for the cigarettes I had given him as I shook his hand for the final time, and promised everyone that he would be returning to Toronto as soon as he possibly could.
As I stated before, I have been to many MANY DJ sets over the past year, and none will have the longstanding life effects that this night at Wrongbar inflicted upon me.
