Eight is a very interesting number in Bassmaster Classic history for a couple of reasons.
First of all, eight times in Classic history the tournament was won by a rookie someone who had never qualified for the championship before.
The Classic rookie champions are:
Bobby Murray, 1971
Rayo Breckenridge, 1973
Tommy Martin, 1974
Jack Hains, 1975
Stanley Mitchell, 1981
Charlie Reed, 1986
David Fritts, 1993
Boyd Duckett, 2007
That list is significant to the 13 rookies in this year's Classic. To find out more about them, check out our Classic Countdown for the number 13.
Looking at the list of rookie champions, it's only natural that there were more first year winners in the early days of the Classic than there have been recently. At the first Classic, for example, they were all rookies and one of them had to win. Fields were smaller in the early days, too, so an individual rookie had better odds of breaking through.
Today, with most of the rookies coming through the Federation Nation, Weekend Series and WBT (where the level of competition is strong, but not nearly as strong as in the Bassmaster Elite Series) and with Classic fields now exceeding 50 anglers it's tougher than ever for a rookie to win. But it can be done, as Boyd Duckett most recently proved in 2007.
The second most interesting connection between the Classic and the number eight is the number of Classic champs who never won another BASS tournament either before or after their Classic win.
These "flashes in the pan" of bass fishing history are:
Rayo Breckenridge, 1973
Bo Dowden, 1980
Jack Chancellor, 1985
Charlie Reed, 1986
Robert Hamilton, Jr., 1992
Bryan Kerchal, 1994
Dion Hibdon, 1997
Luke Clausen, 2006
Kerchal, of course, didn't have the chance to defend his title or place in bass history. The other winners on the list, however, run the gamut from pretty solid to "how'd they get there?"
Dowden, Chancellor and Hibdon were perennial Classic qualifiers and came close to winning other events, including other Classics. Breckenridge and Reed qualified for six and five Classics in their careers, respectively, but never came close to winning anything else. Hamilton and Clausen made it to three Classics each and their second best finishes in the championship were in the 20s.
With the number seven we're inside a week of the next Classic and find out why Classic champs are bullish, who in the 2009 Classic has been to the winner's circle before, just how rare it is to go to wire-to-wire and which anglers span Classic history.

We had a very good experience at this hotel. The staff are courteous and very helpful. We ran out of swimmer diapers for our two-year-old, but they had an extra at the front desk. That saved us the hassle of needing to go purchase some.
There are only a couple things I could be critical of. The layout of the building is a bit inconvenient. There are no services (ice, vending, trash) on the third floor, so we were riding the elevator constantly. The other thing is that the lighting in the pool area is a bit dim. But the water temps were great, so I can't complain. Another good thing -- each table near the pool had its own supply of towels, artfully arranged, which was convenient and a nice touch. Someone put some thought into that.
The breakfast was great, which we've come to expect from Country Inns. I would stay here again.

Varane amazed at Real Madrid progress
Raphael Varane has warned his Real Madrid team-mates of the attacking threat posed by Galatasaray on the eve of their quarter-final clash.
Madrid are favourites to progress to their third successive Champions League semi-final after eliminating Manchester United in the first knockout round.
But Jose Mourinho's men will be up against it on Wednesday when Galatasaray arrive at the Bernabeu, with the Turkish giants boasting the likes of tournament joint-top scorer Burak Yilmaz and Didier Drogba.
"Galatasaray have no fear of playing against us," the Madrid defender told reporters.
"They are going to attack us and are capable of creating problems. That means we need to attack more than they do. We must look to create them more problems than they do us.
"We know (Burak) Yılmaz is a good player, a great attacker. He is quick and very physical. We will have to be aware of him and his movements."
"I am not nervous. I am aware of the pressure outside but I am focused on my task. At this level we have all to be focused because in any given moment they can create a problem, they can be very quick going forward.
"We have studied them. We will be looking to anticipate what they do. It will be an intense match and we will have to adapt to it."
It has been a breakout year for Varane, with the 19-year-old French international cementing himself in the heart of Madrid's defence.
Varane has missed just one of Madrid's eight Champions League matches this season, and the Lens product has stressed the important of continuing to improve at what he perceives to be a pivotal point in his career.
"This is a very important stage in my career and is great experience. It is a huge bonus for me to be playing and let us hope I can continue to advance," he added.
"Last year I was working on a day-by-day basis and never imagined such a quick advance into the first team, but I will continue working hard in order to continue to get better."

Three children gunned down in their grandmother's home in New Town are being laid to rest.
Funerals are scheduled Thursday in the northeastern North Dakota community of Warsaw for 13-year-old Benjamin Schuster, 10-year-old Julia Schuster and 6-year-old Luke Schuster. They were found shot to death in New Town on Nov. 18, along with their 64-year-old grandmother, Martha Johnson.
Johnson's funeral was held Monday in the Fort Berthold Reservation community.
A New Town man who killed himself in the nearby town of Parshall the day of the slayings is considered a person of interest in the case. The FBI is handling the investigation and has not released details.

The staff was friendly and professional. They told me the expected cost of providing me with list of items my car needed repaired to make it safe to drive again. They provided drop off back at my residence while I waited for estimate. The car was not worth fixing; my judgment. I only paid them agreed cost to look over car and make list. They let me keep car on their lot until charity I donated car to came to get it. They assisted in removal of old license plate rusted on my car. They informed me of State of IL free exchange of defective old plates; mine qualified when I checked with Secretary of State's office.Show more reviewsby Verified Customer October 21, 2014

Hey all, im never good at this kind of stuff but lets see... Im a pretty easygoing guy, not much ruffles my feathers. I try to stay in shape, but with so much going on right now im failing at that. Im not much for a self-motivator but if someone suggests doing anything im usally up for it.
My research usually 'requires' me to travel internationally once to twice a year, which i quite enjoy. Trained in geology and archaeology. Next couple trips for me are down to Antarctica. Was down there last year too, so if you want to know what it was like just send me a message.
I love doing all kinds of activities, and love to hang out with friends, but im also ok spending evenings watching tv, playing games or reading a book.
Other, not as important things that i think about include what the hell im going to do after grad school and what i need to do at work for the upcoming week.

Mask Designs
For Others
The Crystal Bell, part VCautiously, quietly, Etain searched every part of the cathedral for signs of the masked stranger. The place seemed to go on and on, turning and winding for an eternity. In one or two rooms, she found signs of life: a half-eaten piece of bread here, a pile of opened, dog-eared books there, the smoldering remains of a few trial spells tucked about. She found further mysteries still: there was an underground level in this cathedral, the first part of which contained the usual larder and wine cellar, but the latter part of which had been closed up. Etain had rather recently become the sort of girl that didn't let these obstacles bar her way. She pushed open the doors of this secret room, never expecting what she was to find. Hidden in shadows, cobwebs, and dust spread inches thick, there was the most sinister sort of laboratory she could ever have imagined. There indeed were bowls and mortars and pestles that smelled of minerals and strange herbs, but there were also glass jars withThe Crystal Bell, part V by the-mongoose
The Crystal Bell, part IVEtain couldn't shut her eyes that night for thinking about the tale she had been told. The little shed she had been stationed in lacked a roof, so she stared up at the stars instead and thought and thought until a sharp breeze ran through the air, carrying with it the scent of dew on a summer morning, yet sweeter. She couldn't quite place it, but it didn't belong here-- it was getting close to harvest time in the city. She stirred from her bed and looked over the wall of the room. It was a beautiful view. The whole city, cold, dark, sleeping, all except for her, drinking in the glow of the moonlight on the rooftops. At least, this is what she thought as her dreaming eyes surveyed the scene. But then, one of those dreaming eyes caught something in its corner, and then shocked itself a little to decide whether what it saw was real or not. What she saw was a figure, tall and thin, standing on the rooftop adjacent to her own. His face she could not see, but he had a messThe Crystal Bell, part IV by the-mongoose
The Crystal Bell, part IIIMany months' journey brought Etain to a city in a valley clearing. The place was actually quite developed (much more so than her own quaint village in the mountains): it was full of myriad little shops and cafés bustling with people, houses stacked and connected with one another, and children running to and fro between Punch and Judy shows, toy shoppes, and fairs. This place seemed so full of life, but at the same time, there was something hidden about this town, like that family secret that no one brings up at dinner parties. She had the sneaking feeling that she would need to stay and investigate the matter; perhaps it would reveal the answer to her journey's question. But of course, if someone should want answers from a stranger, they must offer that stranger a gift in exchange. Here, Etain knew exactly what to give: she pulled out her psaltry and her bow, which so many nights had offered her solace and reminiscence, and she played. She played every quaint old tuneThe Crystal Bell, part III by the-mongoose
The Crystal Bell, part IITime passed at a different rate in Etain's quiet mountain home after that night. Tanel was probably the only person in the whole wide world who could give her the help she needed; she needed to expand her world again. The loss of her father had left emptiness in her heart, but if she could let some more of the world in... it could help her fill that hole. And that is exactly what Tanel did.The Crystal Bell, part II by the-mongoose
Oh you got a really nice gallery, but, why don't you take a steap ahead and use ink and/or colours ? The very light pencil doesn't really make your work pop
Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to be nice ^^
Well, to perfectly honest, it's really because I don't have the time. I barely have time to even draw any more, much less ink or color. I used to color with Photoshop relatively well, and if I had several hours a day and a working computer with Photoshop installed on it, I'd probably do more of that. I appreciate the feedback, though--thanks for stopping by!
Ruth, you truly deserve far more recognition than you are receiving. You skillfully craft such elegant, cleanly pure at times ethereal pieces which are resonantly touching. I for one, delight in your drawings, and have learned some valuable lessons for your gift you give so generously here to all on DA. The grace and and passion you imbue in your drawings are the hallmark of a dedicated and talented artist.
Thank you so much! I'm speechless-- you are too kind! I really appreciate that you enjoy my art and learn from it; I aspire for my drawings to help others as well as entertain. Again, thank you for your support and encouragement!
Please, Ruth, it is the very least I can do! All of this is owed to your gift, and I wish with all my heart you would receive more recognition! Is there any way I could help you obtain more feedback and interaction with other deviants?
I'm afraid I don't think there is a way to get more feedback from people... just takes time and luck and God... But it means a lot to me that you enjoy my work, and I'm glad beyond words that you feel like it has helped you!
Truly has brought such a blessing to my life, not only your astounding work, but your loving and dedicated friendship as well, sister.
What captivates me about your drawings is just the pure, clean grace it is imbued with, and its expressions are calm and regal.

First you take a iPod Classic 160gb that I had bought in Chennai some years ago to replace a failing mp3 player. I then discovered that it was very difficult to actually get music onto it unless I had iTunes somewhere. I had a ubuntu laptop only so had to monkey with gtkpod. What i really want is to hook up the ipod to a computer and run something like
rsync -aHpv --ignore-existing /data/mp3s/ /media/ipod/Music/
And not have to do fancy, smancy GUI magic. I wanted Rockbox!
In the past, with my iPod videos, getting RockBox on them was simple actually. Download the zip archive and unzip right onto the ipod. Pretty much done. So what's the wonder there, you ask? Well, no more GUI tools to get the music onto it. No more stupid database. A simple command would do it. But here I had my iPod classic 160gb player which seemed invulnerable to rockboxing. Until I happened to find this. I have to admit to enjoying the iPod hardware but hating the native OS and its brainless method of trying to protect its garden against intrusion by other firmware really sucked.
But, hey, this is Linux and open source so knowing how smart ahd resourceful these guys are; it was a matter of time before I could rockbox my classic. It does wipe all the music off; but I wanted to do that anyways so I could rsync the fresh bits and bytes. So now, the music I have is getting rsync'ed to the Rocbox on my classic. No more stupid and hapless firmware on the Classic. I get the simple access like a USB drive, rsync and command line tools if I want, but most of all its another de-applefied device I own. Vast pleasure!
Reading about its functionality, it appears battery life might be a bit less with the Rockbox firmware compared to the native. Only 12 hours or so versus the 16 to 18 with the native crap on it. I figure its worth the few hours less to get rid of the MacinCrap on it and actually get some use out of it. I'll always prefer using some command-line tool like screen and rsync to get music on a device versus using some GUI thing. Thanks to the guys that makes this possible. That write things that disrupt the norm. Thanks for Linux as the biggest damn disruption agent on the block. What it does, it does well. Mounts just about any file system, cracks the ipods. Makes life that much more fun in the evenings.

Feet Can Last a Lifetime
In this article
IV. Sensory Foot Exam
The sensory testing device used to complete a foot exam is a 10-gram (5.07 Semmes-Weinstein) nylon filament mounted on a holder that has been standardized to deliver a 10-gram force when properly applied. Research has shown that a person who can feel the 10-gram filament in the selected sites is at reduced risk for developing ulcers.
- The sensory exam should be done in a quiet and relaxed setting. The patient must not watch while the examiner applies the filament.
- Test the monofilament on the patient's hand so he/she knows what to anticipate.
- The five sites to be tested are indicated on the screening form.
- Apply the monofilament perpendicular to the skin's surface (see diagram A below).
- Apply sufficient force to cause the filament to bend or buckle (see diagram B below).
- The total duration of the approach, skin contact, and departure of the filament should be approximately 1-1/2 seconds.
- Apply the filament along the perimeter and not on an ulcer site, callus, scar or necrotic tissue. Do not allow the filament to slide across the skin or make repetitive contact at the test site.
- Press the filament to the skin such that it buckles at one of two times as you say "time one" or "time two." Have patients identify at which time they were touched. Randomize the sequence of applying the filament throughout the examination.
V. Risk Categorization
Based on the foot exam, determine the patient's risk category. A definition of "low risk" or "high risk" for recurrent ulceration and ultimately, amputation, is provided in the chart below along with minimum suggested management guidelines. Individuals who are identified as "high risk" may require a more comprehensive evaluation.
Risk Category Defined
Management Guidelines
Low Risk Patients
Conduct an annual foot screening exam.
High Risk Patients
Conduct foot assessment every 3 months.
Management Guidelines for Active Ulcer or Foot Infection
- Never let patients with an open plantar ulcer walk out in their own shoes. Weight relief must be provided.
- Assess/prescribe therapeutic footwear to help modify weight bearing and protect the feet.
- Conduct frequent wound assessment and provide care as indicated.
- Demonstrate preventive self-care of the feet.
- Provide patient education on wound care.
- Refer to specialists and a diabetes educator as indicated.
- Certify Medicare patients for therapeutic footwear benefits (after ulcer heals).
- Place "High Risk Feet" sticker on medical record.

Is it safe to uninstall this program?
Is there a complete list of programs somewhere which actually use the Visual C++? Are there any alternatives that are smaller that I could install, instead.

Company: Viper Visuals
Cast: Madison (I), Isabella (I), Daniella (I), Stevi, Sara (I), Avalon (Jennifer), Yenna (I), Barocca
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Alternative
The guys at Viper Visuals got a little carried away with their new Avid bay when it came time to put this together. There's some good tease footage of some new faces and some familiar, like Avalon (here named Jennifer), but the overuse of effects and annoying camera angles detract. The girls are hot, and Avalon steals the vid with her strip-and-tease featuring that flawless face and figure.

What could be more fun than watching a frat house full of room temperature male intellects scream stupid shit while guzzling brew from a beer bong and watching other people fuck?
While viewers may get "more frat for your fuck buck," the frat boys certainly don't get any fucking - and it doesn't look like any of the pro female talent likely qualifies as "eager college beaver," although anything's possible.
The "Whoa Dude Edition" of this continuing series presents a parade of porn professionals (of varied degrees of notoriety) putting on a show for the college loan default crowd amidst a chaotic tableau of crude sexual observations and drunken camera angles.
There's girl/girl pussy lapping, couch and weight bench fucking, ass banging, choking and a quotable moment in porn history. Viewers are warned that "The pooper is about to be penetrated."
Retailing: For those who find the frat house party environment, adolescent sex comments and erratic camerawork sexy.

Rag & Bone Jeans
LeAnn Rimes in Rag & Bone The Skinny in Pinstripe
LeAnn Rimes has shown her love for Rag & Bone yet again by wearing another pair of their jeans; The Skinny in Pinstripe. She wore the new pair for her appearance and performance at the VH1 Save The Music Foundation's Songwriters Music Series Concert in Napa, California.
I cannot say how much I think this look is amazing. I never would have thought this combo would go so well together, but I do. The pairing of the jaguar print shirt with the pinstripe just looks so good together. Probably one of the coolest looks that I have ever seen on LeAnn. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Shopbop for $187.

"Worst of Audible presents..."
In my opinion this is a story full of falsehoods presented as facts. In America's Secret War, Friedman rivals Michael Moore for twists of reality. This book discussed no relevant, new information regarding the state of american intelligence agencies. Friedman apparently authored the book to feed the paranoia of those intent on believing in government conspiracies and ineptitude, but provides no substantive facts to back up his claims. My personal experience working in and with said agencies contradicts many of the Friedmans claims calling into question all of his hyperbole. Enjoy one of the many other better books such as Digital Fortress, Chatter, or Puzzle Palace, but skip this piece of work.
"A must for understanding the U.S. after 911"
In-depth analysis of US responses after 911. A clear story and analysis. Very easy to follow despite of it being a difficult geopolitics subject. Book is well written and read.
Doug Kaplan
"Top book"
If you ever want to understand geo politics read George Friedman at Stratfor and all of his books. He understand the way the world works.
"Friedman is Incredible"
This is the second George Friedman book I have enjoyed and I am again blown away by his insight into "Realpolitik". He goes beyond the headlines and even the conclusion of pundits to look at the core factors behind the rise of Muslim extremists. Of particular interest was his view on the Iraq war. Great stuff, well worth the listen
"What an ABSOLUTE piece of JUNK!"
For there to be ANY truth to this book AT ALL! The author has NEVER served in ANY branch of the military, has never been deployed, nothing. Yet he tries to speak as an authority of how other countries view us. PLEASE! I was there, I fought in Desert Storm, and the thousands of Iraq's we took as prisoners, the Saudi's, the Kwaitie's, and the many others I saw were scared to death of us. Physically we American's stand taller than 99% of the people from that region, militarily wise we train better than any of the other countries that I served with which include the British Desert Rats, the French, the Saudi's, and on and on. This junk of the Saudi's think American's are a "weak" fighting force is just plain absurd! When I looked into the Saudi's eye's before the war all I saw was fear. I could go on and on, because I WAS THERE unlike the author.
I really thought this book was going to be factual and speak to the little skirmishes that happen under the radar. Nope, the author decided to speak about the Gulf War's, what caused the Afghanistan war(like he would know). And it really irked me when he spoke about Generals as if they were stupid. Dude if you know so much enlist and show them how it's done. You'd never make it out of basic.
Absolutely not.
Geez, who cares, this book was so fiction it wasn't funny.
Yes, can I get my credit back to purchase another book? And can I rate this book any lower than 1 star?
short, fat, and stupid.
"A real explanation of the reasons for war in Iraq."
Personally I have much reading on the war against al-qeada, and the taliban. However I have not read up as much on the war in Iraq and its reasons. This book was perfect for filling in the gaps. I found the lead up to these wars very interesting and well thought out, going through WWII to current times while explaining the geo-political basis that brought the U.S. to its current position in the world. I also found the description of the United States in the Islamic worlds eyes enlightening. I would recommend this book to anyone who came of age before 9-11 and to anyone who's family had a member in the armed forces. All around very enlightening.
A commuter with a carniverous apetite for audiobooks of all stripes and colors.
"Great book....mehh narration"
I had a friend from Iran who mentioned America's role in the revolution of her country and I realized I was completely uninformed. If you are uninformed about the US's history in the middle east it's probably a must read. I had no idea about Afghanistan and it's role in the cold war. I have actually realized that I have a lot of military history to relearn following this book. My US history class in high school was shockingly poor and biased and this is a good start to understanding some background information.
The author does a great job remaining unbiased in his explanations of each's side perspective. My only complaint about this book is the narration. It put me to sleep several times. So I wouldn't listen to this thing driving. I should repeat, its not the story or research, it's really the narrator.
So try it out if you want to understand the Taliban, Iraq, and why on earth we are even there. If I had it to do again I would definitely download it again.
"Superficially clever but fundamentally flippant"
1. The best point of this book is it brings together some off-beaten-path view of the US actions since 9/11
2. The worst point is its examination of these views is fundamentally flippant, and repetitive. The author loves his own shallow insight so much that he repeats them tiresomely as if simply repetition gives it weight it does not carry through its actual substance.
No. It covers a interesting topic, and its poseur treatment makes me want to read a real book.
Not much, except for the ability to go through it during driving commute
I enjoy history and politics (while not a scholar by any means) and I get frustrated by the news because so little of the story is ever really told. I found this book very enlightening and engaging despite it being a non-fiction book.
World Champion Parallel Parker
"Riveting and Complex"
I didn't know most of the things in this book. It's very complex – it's an antidote to the superficiality of Farid Zakaria's "Post-American World."

There are sections of the book that cover street riding but for me at least the bias toward 'racing techniques' is not what I was really looking for. A book teaching advanced riding techniques it is not but if your a racer who wants to try out racing techniques on the track and also apply these to the street then this maybe the book for you. For me alas it is not what I was expecting.
This is certainly a book that does what it's says on the cover... racing street riding techniques, but is certainly not a source for advanced safety riding techniques for the street.
Learn, however, you will. Parks covers motorcycling from every angle: chassis dynamics, mental dynamics, body dynamics, machine setup, rider setup. Even though the book is ostensibly for "high performance street riders", the illustrations use all sorts of motorcycles, from a Hayabusa to a GoldWing to a fully dressed Harley -- emphasizing that the skills learned in this book can be applied to any street rider, anywhere, on any bike. A lot of points that I learned originally from David Hough's Proficient Motorcycling are repeated in Total Control, which I think is wonderful. Hough, and now Parks, make superb -- and very accessible -- suggestions.
It's really the book's well-rounded attitude that puts it towards the top of my list. While I'm always on the lookout for more ways to improve my lines and quicken my turns, I really appreciate a book which tells me flat out that attitude is just as important as lap times. Even my personal favorite non-motorcycling motorcycle topics, fitness and ergonomics, are covered in Total Control. Though now I have even fewer excuses for procrastinating those sit-ups...
I did manage to buy a book, "Total Control" by Lee Parks. This book, is (in my humble opinon), the greatest motorcycle instruction book since the start of motorcycle instruction books. Very clear, very precise anaologies to things that everyone deals with in real life, to help one better understand the art that is, motorcycling. One line that I read in the book struck me as something that I needed to do. "If you have not practiced riding with a bit of fear, you will panic when presented with the unexpected." For awhile, I was riding fast, but I wasnt really afraid of riding. I wasnt afraid of sharp corners or this and that, because I usually took them at speeds only slightly above average. I didnt have any fear. I need to work on riding with a bit of fear, so instead of letting the fear CONTROL me in a situation where I need my wits, not my reactions, I can let the fear flow through me, and use the wits.
I also learned about steering my motorcycle more efficently. The author talked about how most people try to steer with both hands around corners, and while they believe that their helping the motorcycle, in reality, their hands are actually fighting eachother sub-conciously. I know, I didnt believe it either. What Lee Parks suggested doing, was relaxing the outside hand in a corner, so its barely gripping the handlebar, and to push with the inside hand ONLY to steer/lean the bike over.
HOLY CRAP! He was completely right. I'm not talking just a little bit, makes a 1/10th of a difference. I mean he was COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY on the money. I came into a 25mph turn on a road I like to test/learn my skills on, and I did as he said.Read more ›

Unfortunately, IE8 is still the most popular browser in the world.
Now, my site looks good in all other browsers but this one. It's located at We Dessert More.
I have already ruled out the options that it's the minifying of W3C plugin, or the fact that it's loading from a CDN. I have also tried adding various code lines to my header, with no avail.
I've spent 4 hours now on this issue and still can't find what made my theme (which was originally compatible) break in IE8.
I'll try to give many hints that you may see yourself if you open it in Chrome as well:
- The first post is well aligned and structured, but all the posts following the 1st post are misaligned and all uppercase. So is the sidebar, which isn't really showing on the side, but rather on the bottom of the page.

It was one of those nights when the rain came down in torrents. Christmas and New Years had come and gone and it was looking to be a dreary January outside the flat.
Jareth sat on the windowsill, looking out into the rain. His great aunt, Yubaba, stood slightly to one side, her nose obscuring half of the view.
"There's some scum slinking around out in the rain," Yababa snorted.
"Auntie, you always say that."
"I'm serious." She poked him with a pointed finger. "Look there."
The first of three great moving vans pulled up in front of the flat. There were two Land Rovers and a Porsche already parked there, the occupants climbing out and opening umbrellas.
"Erik, is there a vacant flat here?" Jareth opened the window so he could hear what was being said below.
"No." Erik answered from the kitchen.
All Jareth and Yubaba could hear over the drumming of rain was heartbroken sobs. The procession from the cars was led by a snazzily dressed young lady. She tried the front door, then looked up at Jareth and Yubaba.
"Hello Jareth! We don't have a key! Could you come down and let us in?"
"Do you know her?" Erik asked, trying to see out the window over Yubaba.
"Haven't the slightest idea who she is." Jareth waved out the window with no intention of letting them in.
"Go let them in, you lazy slug." Yubaba poked him again.
Jarath disappeared in a poof of glitter.
"Do you know who they are?" Erik asked Yubaba.
Yubaba just smiled.
Jareth appeared in the entrance hall and opened the door for the young lady and her companions.
"I'm Alice, Alice Cullen." She folded her umbrella in and shook Jareth's hand.
Jareth looked behind her at the men piling into the front hall. They were not Cullens, that was for sure.
"I'm not moving in here." Alice said preemptively, "They are." She turned to the two men closest to her. They were tall and dressed in clothing that wasn't quite modern. "This Wicked and his brother Truth. That's London and Requiem." Requiem had a valkyrie-style beard and London was dressed from head to foot in black leather. "Asher is holding Jean-Claude." Asher had long blond hair and had a man wearing an overly ruffled shirt held tight to his chest. Jean-Claude was sobbing almost uncontrollably, bloody tears sliding from his eyes.
"Jareth, Goblin King." Jareth said. He could feel a great pain welling from the group, but especially from Jean-Claude.
"Pleased to meet you." Wicked and Truth said in unison. They stepped aside to let the others pass as Alice led them to the basement. "If it's not too much to ask, could you tell our master, when he's feeling better, where you get those frilly shirts? We left our tailor in St. Louis and he's already ruined close to half his wardrobe."
"My goblins make them," Jareth said. "I suppose they could make some more. It's about the only useful thing they do." He glanced after Alice. "And you tell your master this, you keep your pointy fangs off my Sarah."
"I'll tell him." Wicked said. He and Truth gave a slight bow and followed the other vampires down into the basement.
Jareth poofed back into his flat. Yubaba and Erik sat at the table drinking tea.
"Who are the new neighbors?" Erik asked.
"Vampires." Jareth slumped on the couch. "Six very hurt vampires are moving into the basement."
"My basement!?" Erik fumed. "How dare they move into my basement!"
"Don't go stalking them, they'd make mincemeat out of you." Yubaba snorted. "That silly noose wouldn't do you any good at all."

This has definitely piqued my interest. I can't wait to read more!!! Keep up the awesome writing!
there's four or five of the vampires below stories, should have their own folder in the Roommates fanclub, if not they do in my portfolio.
i haven't written any more, classes got in the way, glad you enjoyed it.

You know, I've been meaning to read the Anita Blake series for quite some time now. Thanks for the kick and the great read! (More Erik would be fantastic!)
i'll try to add more of Erik, but i've never seen phantom of the opera, only read about it. that's why i write more of Jareth and James, because i have seen their movies.
Alice Cullen is from Twilight? I need to read Twilight?
I don't know much about Vampires ^^'
I don't know much about Vampires ^^'
nice! i haven't read Anita Blake...now i need to because i like this haha.
the first five or so are really great, then they turn into POP (plot on porn) books, which are ok if you like that kind of thing.
hmmm... I'm kinda intrigued to see where this is going...
Nice - although Jean-Claude being that obviously down in the dumps was something I thought he'd never do in public.
Looking forward to reading more!
Looking forward to reading more!
ohh, wait and see. You're right though, it's something he wouldn't normally do.
Has Anita done something, or has someone else who I'm not able to think of offhand hurt him somehow?
Remember how Alice Cullen sees the future?
Does she? I know zip about the Twilight series.
Very nice very nice! please continue!
This was a good little insert, I wish it had been longer, one scene seems quite teasing ^^
thanks! you should read the original Roommates, the comics are both well written and drawn.

Where can I get Microsoft Sync Framework?
Please visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/sync/default.aspx to download a copy of Microsoft Sync Framework.
What languages are supported by Microsoft Sync Framework?
Currently, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Hong Kong SAR), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese (Japan), Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Traditional Sort) are supported languages by Microsoft Sync Framework.
How much does Microsoft Sync Framework cost?
Microsoft Sync Framework is free on Windows and Windows Mobile devices. Support for other platforms is available through commercial licensing and porting kits
What is included in Microsoft Sync Framework?
Microsoft Sync Framework includes the following components:
What platforms does Microsoft Sync Framework support?
Out of the box, Microsoft Sync Framework supports Windows platforms including Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Mobile. Support for other platforms is available through commercial licensing and porting kits.
What data stores can be synchronized using Microsoft Sync Framework?
Microsoft Sync Framework supports synchronization of any content such as email, contacts, calendar, audio, video, settings and files/folders.
I can't make changes to my data store; is that a problem?
No, Microsoft Sync Framework uses a rich metadata model to enable collaboration and offline scenarios. The metadata can exist anywhere, meaning no application or data store changes are required.
Can Microsoft Sync Framework enable synchronization to remote offices?
Yes; using database synchronization providers, information from corporate servers can be synchronized down to remote office or retail store databases. Remote office workers can then access information locally while information is being exchanged between the remote office and the corporate server's databases.
What is a provider?
A provider enables a data source to participate in Microsoft Sync Framework synchronization process, allowing offline access and collaboration of application, data and services. A number of providers have been included out of the box that support many common data sources. The following providers are included:
Can I build my own provider to access my data?
Yes; Microsoft Sync Framework provides an SDK allowing developers to create custom providers that enable new applications, services, and data stores to participate in a synchronization community.
Does Microsoft Sync Framework support peer-to-peer synchronization?
Yes; Microsoft Sync Framework allows any applications, devices, or services to participate in true peer-to-peer or hub/spoke topologies.
How does Microsoft Sync Framework handle data conflicts?
Microsoft Sync Framework detects conflicts during synchronization and then passes them to the provider. Within the provider, developers are free to implement a variety of policies for the resolution of items in conflict. Below are some examples of commonly used resolution policies:
How does Microsoft Sync Framework compare to timestamp-based synchronization?
Microsoft Sync Framework automatically handles all of the complicated issues associated with timestamp-based synchronization, such as deferred conflicts, failures, interruptions, and loops. Microsoft Sync Framework enables developers to focus on the applications and ignore the complexities associated with synchronization.
Can I synchronize information between my mobile device and my Oracle or IBM database?
Yes; Microsoft Sync Framework database synchronization providers enable any ADO.NET-enabled relational database (such as Oracle and IBM) to participate in synchronization.
Can I synchronize information between devices using Bluetooth and Infrared
The Sync Framework's transport-agnostic architecture allows integration of sync into a variety of protocols, including over-the-air and embedded devices. As such, with Microsoft Sync Framework, you can use any existing architectures and protocols, including Bluetooth and Infrared, to synchronize data between devices and servers.
What changes should I make to my data store to make synchronization work?
Microsoft Sync Framework relies on a metadata repository to store information required for synchronization. Although developers are encouraged to store this information in the existing data store, it is not required. The metadata can be stored in an external data store, on the file system, or by using the metadata storage service, a Microsoft Sync Framework component that enables developers to store the sync metadata in a lightweight database.
Does Microsoft Sync Framework use managed or unmanaged code?
Microsoft Sync Framework can be used from managed or unmanaged code.
Does Microsoft Sync Framework support background and scheduled synchronization?
Background and scheduled synchronization is not supported out of the box. However, a number of APIs, such as the State and Notification APIs within Windows Mobile, can be used within the provider to enable background and scheduled synchronization.
What happened to Sync Services for ADO.NET, Sync Services for File Systems, and Sync Services for FeedSync?
These components have been renamed in Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0:

This was very simple, and very delicious. I used more chili flakes than asked for per our tastes, and also used a bit more garlic. This was very good; I will be making it again :) Thanks
I hvt agree w/BonnieZ. This recipe is a great BASE. I lacks something: sweet chili sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, additions of this nature wld definitely liven up this dish. It's relatively EZ w/the potential t/b great. TY for sharing. ;)
I found this to be just ok. The recipe as written was bland for our taste and the blend of flavors a bit off. I wish I would have read the prior review as an increase in the chili flakes, garlic and ginger would have made a difference. Thank you Just Married for sharing the recipe.
