Where to start with Richard Morgan
Based on what I've been reading around here, Morgan has some darker themed books. I was wondering where should I start. I know this is the fantasy forum, so I might be pointed to The Steel Remains, but his Altered Carbon series also has me intrigued, any advice?

His only fantasy novel is The Steel Remains, so if you want to start with his fantasy work, there you are. I would suggest starting with Altered Carbon though, it is, in my opinion, his best work and portrays his overall style.
After that there are more Kovacs novels and Black Man, but also Market Forces, which doesn't get mentioned as often as it should and isn't to be missed.

I've also read that I might enjoy The Steel Remains more if i DIDN'T read Altered Carbon first, just because AC is better of a sci-fi novel then Steel Remains is fantasy, and since ppl consider AC his best work. Does this make sense?

It does make sense. The Steel Remains is decent, but in my opinion Morgan's sci-fi is superior. And Altered Carbon, while being his first novel, is still by far his best.
So if you would rather ease into Morgan, starting with The Steel Remains or one of his stand-alone sci-fi novels would make sense. Starting with Altered Carbon might spoil you. I know I've certainly been somewhat disappointed in Morgan's other stuff, mainly because I didn't feel like it was quite at the same level.
The sequel to The Steel Remains is also due out early next year, I believe, if you care about that sort of thing.

I actually liked the sequel to Altered Carbon the best, Broken Angels I think it is called. But yeah, Altered Carbon is the place to start. One book I had a really hard time with was Market Forces, I finished it but really didn't like it at all. Anybody else?

Yea, I already ordered The Steel Remains. I figure If I read AC first, I'll get spoiled, so I'll go from his decent work, up to his best. Thanks guys.

I've read AC and Steel Remains. Both were merely "meh" to me. I'd say find something else...

Hated Market Forces. Made no sense at all in economic terms (governments let entire country-sized resource areas be divided based on a few fancy cars fighting? There were other issues I had with it that I cannot clearly recall now, I think I wrote a review on Amazon years ago for it, may check.
His Woken series was far more enjoyable.
found it, the single malt advertising campaign drove me nuts (and I have drunk some of the bottlings he mentioned!)."Last edited by Woofdog2; May 11th, 2010 at 01:34 PM.

I thoroughly enjoyed Altered Carbon, even though I don't read a ton of SF. Very gritty, complex story.
I started reading The Steel Remains but didn't finish it. Wasn't the book's fault; I had a lot checked out of the library at that time and didn't get around to renewing it before someone else put a hold on it. Long story short, I'm just going to buy the paperback and start over.

Having read everything by him, I'm going to reccomend starting with blackman(thirteen). It's got a very similar style to everything else and is a solid single volume work. If you dont like it chances are you wont enjoy the kovacs books.
Steel Remains is different in everything except writing style plus it has inter-species homo-erotica which threw a lot of people off.

Conference Inequality of National Income Held Responsible for Overproduction. EXPORTS INADEQUATE ______ / (Specially contributed by VtButter- . worth, '31) UiKiuployment was the subject of the New York intercollegiate winter conference of the League for Industrial Democracy. The speakers were Ben- jamin Marsh, Clinch Calkins, A. J. Muste, Colston Warne, Charlotte Carr, Harry Laidler and Paul Blanshard. They all supported the following main points: The fundamental cause of the world- wide economic sickness is that the workers have not been paid enough to enable 'them to buy back the products of their increased producing power (increased by machinery and effi- ciency). We have millions of people hungry and unable to buy food on the outside, millions of bushels of wheat that can't be sold on the oth'er. The majority of people receive small incomes and are able to buy only a small proportion of what they want. Therefore an increase in their incomes would mean an increase in the amount of goods , consumed. On the other hand, some receive large incomes, so buying the products of industry and agriculture and the rest must be in- vested, creating even more producing machinery, which results in an ever- increasing amount of goods.- The ex- cnntliiin'ti on rimr Four Russian Technical Education Discussed by Miss Park An interpretation of an English re- port on methods of technical educa- tion in Russia was given by President Park in Chapel on Tuesday, January 6. In Europe as here, this education is given in polytechnic schools where a number of different forms of en- gineering are taught. In Russia tech- nical education, no longer under the -commisariat of education, has been changed from the engineering schools in the great cities and transferred to the supreme Economic Council. There is no differentiation between technical education, become part of the factory system, anrfindustrialism. The results of this close connection are interesting. The most striking is that the student is now a government employee who receives a wage and is provided with food and quarters, how- ever wretched. The � student can be put Where he is most needed, in any system of schools or form of factory The schools are now monotechnic since the only form of technical ability taught is that which is directly con- nected with the factory in which the student is placed."

Spenglcr Offers New . Approach to History At Thursday morning chapel in Goodhart, January 6, Dean Manning spoke of the possible influence of Spenglcr on the social thinking of the future. Dean Manning said that, although when she first read Spcngler she started with � prejudice against him, because his premises are improvable and shaky, she soon became a "Spen- glerite." Spengler's list of the civilizations are (1) Egyptian (2) Classical (3) In- dian (4) Chinese and introducing a new factor (5) Magyan or Arabian. This last is the Mohammedan and early Christian civilization. (6) Modern civ- ilization, i. e., from 900 A. D. to the present. Spengler's idea is not new, Dean Manning continued, as implica- tions of it are found in a good deal of historical comment and religious liter- ature. But his idea has a certain nov- elty from the point of view of our thinking today. The method of approaching histori? cal subjects was different in Egyptian and classical civilizations. The Egyp- tian method was in consideration of time; the classical, of flat surfaces, that is with no sense of the length of time behind them. The mediaeval Christian conception was of the world beginning in time from a perfect state, suffering a fall and then undergoing gradual redemption. In more modem times there have been only two meth- ods of thinking: that of the,eighteenth century, as expressed by Rousseau in his theory of the decline of civilization, and that of the nineteenth century with the idea of the progress of the world. With his conception of the world as rising from savagery and progressing always toward the better, H. G. Wells voices this latter method of thinking. The whole idea of progress has really no more scientific basis than the idea of decline. It is impossible to prove from Darwin that the various species are getting better. This whole idea of progress is bound up, Dean Manning said, with what we can re- member ourselves in the past two cen- turies. For example, in the Renais- sance, no one could believe in prog- ress. It is important, therefore, in thinking of history philosophically, to ( iniiliiiii'il on I'agr Four Lantern Shows Finish But Lacks Variety (Specially contributed by Gencvievc B. IVakeman.) The December Lantern�the first copy of the magazine, that has ever conHJnto the "present reviewers'' hands�is iiifer- csting for a number of reasons. One of these is the surprisingly finished quality of some of the work. Another is the entire absorption of the authors repre- sented in the more imaginative forms of writing. The issue contains four poems. a one-act .play, and two pieces of nar- rative. Do.jlw ,V".U{H{ ladies j(i .Bryn ��.��!�"'�..J'Wy write essays�except under compulsion? Is the passion for the un- adulterated idea quite lacking? And once the question is raised, it is impossible to resist examining the actual contents of the magazine in search of further, gen- eralities of the same order. Most of the pieces of work printed are successful in conveying a mood, or an emotion more or less fiflly apprehended, but one is tempted to believe that those in which the feeling is centered by an idea have somehow the greatest imaginative valid- ity. The verses by Barbara Kirk, begin- ning, Fire on my heart tonight, Fire in my fingers, are striking for this same union of thought and feeling.

On Wednesday evening, Feb- ruary 25, lovers of the modern dance may witness in Goodhart Hall the art of this great German dancer. It is a rare privilege that is offered them. Frau Wigman has left European tri- umph this season for fresh ones in America. Hailed abroad as "finest dancer of today," "great artist," "genius," she has been no less en- thusiastically received here. �. Her amazing originality, her perfect technique, the profound emotional re- action she produces from the combina- tion of passion with intellect in her dancing, all these are part of her art. "Mary Wigman's dance." says one writer, "is phenomenal. It belongs to no particular school, no particular category or country: neither German nor Russian, neither Greek nor classic: it is the expression of her individual aesthetic images. now dramatic or tragic, then again humorous ami ex- hilarating." The perfection of Wigman's tech- nique is the result of long training and hard work. She studied under Jacques Dalcrozc and later, for four years, under Rudolph von Laban, one of the greatest German masters of the dance. In 1919 she started her own school. Dalcroze's emphasis on rhythmic gym- nastic- -lie i*nv&..-toa�iwatficting. ft'rdM"von*Taban by the strictest body discipline she began to acquire "com- plete control of the entire body," a tccjmiijiie thai was to be mastered so that it might then be forgotten, the violence of acrobatics, the delicacy of pantomime, the body freedom of Dun- can." She has no fear of labor. In the Temple Dancers, a group compo- sition, she spins round and round for seven minutes. When students com- plained that after three months of the most strenuous discipline they could approximate her whirlpool dance for only three minutes, her answer is said to have been. "What is three months? Work for three years ^nd try again." Mary Wigman's greatest contribution to the dance, according to Wolfgang Schumann in the January Theatre Guild Magazine, is the freeing of it from*fhc dominance of music. "Music and the dance," he says, "springing from the same source�strong, overmastering need for expression�have always been inseparably connected. I'p until a decade ago, however, the dance was subsidiary to music. . . . With Wigman the dance does not addition- ally interpret music already written; it expresses the concept of the dancer, and only when this concept is fully formed and embodied in motion is music created, not to interpret, but to accompany the dance." The accom- paniment consists of the piano and, in many instances, primitive instruments, gongs, rattles, drums, cymbals, tom- toms, pipes. These do not produce a tune but a soft, subdued, rhythmic noise. Incidentally, they are very well played by Hans Hasting and Mete Menz. sible to criticize the singleinstallnictt* of Charlotte Einsiedj�*V"**Water for My Stain." Still, it seems to suffer often from a too precious phraseology, and sometimes from the cloudiness of writ- ing like this: "Everything was still alive in him, in this new life of making no demands, and with it his thirst for a cause. He had so far helped make wine for people to drink, and he had gotten them over from one side of a river to the other, and he had saved two boys from drowning; all of which had left him with a feeling of extreme flatness Life being what it was, one could give nothing lasting to other people, suppos- ing them to be accessible, but an obli- gation." It is cloudy, probably, because the thought involved is so difficult to express. Yet with all these handicaps of expression, the story attains an imagina- tive significance which is not found else- where in the magazine. � This attainment is owing, at least in part, to the dominant idea of the inaccessibility of every indi- vidual, the gulf between human and human. � "The Next Morning," by Celia Dar- lington, attempts something more tangi- ble and certainly achieves more of what it attempts. It describes the crisis of adolescence fn a girl's life with extraor- dinary conviction. The form is managed with assurance, and there are few wasted words. ' The play by Monica Brice lacks just the centralizing idea which both of the stories have. As a result, though the action is lively, it has little significance for the reader, who fails to share the emotional conflict of Major Tom Banner- man, and feels only, in a degree, surprise and suspense. The three poems entitled "Before Frost," "Sonnet," and "I Could Not Move," have in common a sort of Coatlaard �� Pa#� �*�*________ "Morality is a subject which can be made dangerous if it is dealt with nar- rowly, for there is a general under- standing that it relates to one amuse- jnent of life, namely, sex," declared Lewis Browne Tuesday evening in a lecture on "Morality for the Intelli- gent." People are not so abnormally interested in procreation all over the worjd. Morality should be considered as the whole attitude toward life, and, essentially, morality reflects this. 'Broadly speaking. ' there are three moral attitudes in the world. First, is that of the savage. The primitive man understood nothing and believed anything. He was continually afraid, with the nervousness of wild animals, and unspeakably unhappy. A sound in the trees was toliini a threat- ening evil, a spirit which must be pla- cated according to the more or less Tiicchanical rite.s of the medicine's man technique. Blindly groping forward in order to make life bearable, he stumbled into confusion and mistakes. To ascertain the attitude of the aver- age man. one must determine what he is and where he can be found. In this country, he'may be found, every Sufi- day morning, at some testimonial evan- gelistic meeting. He and his wife are poor, not necessarily unemployed but facing just such a prospect of destitu- tion. They lead meaningless, anoyn- :iuu.- lives, even pseudonymous ones. Each day is just like another. They have none of the psychic qualities, none of the stimulants, which we have, such as the morning paper, mails, even bills, which all exalt the ego by recog- nizing the individuality. Their chil- dren are neither a joy nor a comfort to them; they can look forward only to Continued on Pane Three Miss Park Tells of Experi- mental Hygiene in Russia The subject of President Parks talk in Chapel yesterday morning. January 13, was "Mental Hygiene in Russia." Her material was gathered from the partial report of last year's First In- ternational Mental Hygiene Confer- ence in Washington, published in a recent issue of Mcntafl Hygiene. At the conference two Russian spokesmen were present, a psychiatrist and a professor of "Pedology' (all things having to do with the child). In ad- dition to the brief speeches by the Rus- sians there is in the magazine a steno- graphic report of questions addressed to them and of their answers. A spe- cial effort to get the Russian represent- atives to come to the country was made because of the great importance and interest of Russian opportunities for experiment. In Russia today practically all medi- cal .work is under state control; in other.words there is "socialized medi- cine." For this reason the larger em- � phasis can be placed on preventive rather than curative work. The same thing holds true of psychiatry. Fac- tory personnel; school training, prison work, all are supervised by the De- partment of Mental Hygiene.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT: Antony Price, the English designer whose clients have ranged from Bryan Ferry to Annie Lennox and the Duchess of Cornwall, is setting up shop in central London once again. The designer has a new backer: Paul Davies, the luxury property developer who just purchased London's Number Eleven Cadogan Gardens hotel. Price will open a store and couture studio on Mount Street, near Marc Jacobs' new store and the soon-to-be-opened Luella Bartley boutique, in the autumn. The store will sell Price's ready-to-wear, couture and men's wear. Price told WWD he was excited to have some financial backing: "I've never had a red cent from a single soul, and now that I do, I shall be a force to be reckoned with," said the designer, who broke into fashion in the Sixties. "I've always had to make silk purses out of sow's ears. It'll be nice, finally, to have a bit of silk!"
ACTION AT ANNABEL'S: Sources in London say Mark Birley, 77, is close to selling Annabel's — and quite possibly the other private Mayfair clubs he has created. Birley is reported to be in very advanced negotiations with Richard Caring, a British clothing supplier, close buddy of Topshop tycoon Philip Green and owner of London restaurants The Ivy, Le Caprice and J Sheekey. It's no secret that Caring, whose net worth is reported to be $900 million, has been stalking Annabel's for a while, but a deal seems to be closer than ever, a source said. The price is said to be in the neighborhood of $200 million for the whole Birley empire, which includes members-only restaurants George, Mark's Club and Harry's Bar. Both sides declined to comment.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Police say a ringleader of a notorious St. Louis gang is back on the street, and his criminal record is only going to grow.
Officials say they have arrested Jesse Hampton for 40 felonies in St. Louis, including murder.
"With all the crime going on and you have the same repeat offenders coming out and doing the crimes after we put them away, it's a little frustrating," St. Louis Metropolitan Police Lt. Joe Morici said.
Rarely have police ever been so frank about someone they've arrested. They say Hampton is extremely dangerous, responsible for calling the shots and influencing his gang members to commit crime.
A car chase followed by a crash with cops sent Jesse Hampton back to jail last week, but he's out... again. Police say they caught Hampton driving a stolen BMW—something they say he's been doing since before he was even old enough to drive.
"He's been high-speeding in stolen cars since he was 15 years old," Lt. Morici said. "He would sell cars and bring them to a chop shop where they'd retag the cars."
That's what landed Hampton on detectives' radar. And in the past four years, he's racked up 40 felony arrests in the city.
"He's kind of escalated from stealing the cars, to car clottings, to robbery, to possession of firearms," Lt. Morici said.
Police say Hampton then escalated to killing. Hampton was charged with first-degree murder in 2010, but by February this year, he was released. Charges apparently have been dropped.
"I have no idea how he's out," Lt. Morici said. "He was arrested for it and he was in jail, so I thought he'd be out of the box for quite some time, but he's obviously back at it."
Hampton appears to pull a Houdini. Police can't keep him behind bars long. Despite arrests for charges stemming from theft to murder, he only has four criminal convictions as an adult.
"I don't know how or when he's going to stop," Lt. Morici said. "I think he definitely needs to be locked down for quite some time."
News 4 still has a lot of questions about how Hampton is still on the street even though police continuing to lock him up. The Circuit Attorney's office closed early Wednesday, but we'll continue to investigate this case after the holiday.

This bag is great for me because I don't generally carry a lot of stuff in my purse. From reading other reviews I knew it wasn't going to be a large crossbody so I wasn't disappointed in the size. The color is a light silver gray, very pretty and I feel it could go well for all seasons.

This bag is classic tory burch cross body bag, has three card slots so I can carry my ID, credit cards, iphone, keys and lipstick. When I recieved this bag I thought it's little bit smaller than I expected but once I carry with me, it's perfect.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LadyRika Even more beautiful in person!
I got this bag in the carnavel color. It appears red, but it's really a semi-bright pinkish red (if that makes sense). I think it looked way better in person than in the online picture.
The size is small, so it's great if you don't want to carry much but you still want to carry a bag.
There are a few slots/pockets for cards and such, which is convenient.
One of my complaints is the holding of the strap because even though there are little bits to keep the "excess" strap ends in place, they are quite loose.
Overall, I am happy with my first Tory Burch bag purchase.

Although I expected a deeper red leather, the brighter and rosier red is quite nice and will definitely add great accent to my summer work wardrobe. I think it's my neutral this summer.

Back in the day I was one of millions of guys all over the world that could not get enough of Grace.............she had it all........talent, smarts, wit, she was truly the divas diva! That she was beautiful can never be debated, having incredible natural good looks..........no songstress had a more libidinous femininity in her soul!
While I would never have the great 'fortune' of knowing Grace personally or intimately..............I had what would prove to be a close second:-)
I was fortunately 'blessed' having a girlfriend who looked like the younger (and as beautiful) sister of Grace............and had and still has an incredible voice! International stardom would not be in her 'cards' but she was well known within local musical circles in the greater NYC area.
A Sicilian firebrand with roots stemming from the city of Palermo, and hailing from the Marine Park section of Brooklyn, NY... the former pride of James Madison HS.............Marie J. Sgandurra.
Talent and beauty in both women, and for those who knew them, a life made infinitely better and more rewarding.

Ultima Vez Modificado: 8 de mayo del 2009
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I want to visit my mother, but her husband is undergoing BCG Vaccine treatment for bladder cancer. They are 87 and 85 years old, and do not use the best hygiene measures. I am concerned about my own health, as a 2-year breast cancer survivor. Am I at any risk while being in their home? Thank you for your help.
Michael Vozniak, PharmD, BCOP, Hematology/Oncology Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, responds:
BCG, or bacillus Calmette-Guerin, is a vaccine that is made from bacteria. It is a non-specific immunomodulator, which means that it stimulates the body's immune system. BCG has shown positive results when instilled into the bladders of certain patients with superficial bladder cancers who are felt to be at high risk of disease recurrence after surgical treatment alone. Superficial bladder cancers are only a few cell layers thick and are confined to the inner lining of the bladder, and so the BCG (or other drugs instilled directly into the bladder) can be absorbed into the superficial layers of the bladder and thus should reach all of the cancer cells.
BCG is placed into the bladder using a catheter, and left in the bladder for up to 2 hours. The catheter is left in place and clamped off to allow the bladder to be adequately exposed to the BCG. After two hours, the clamp is removed and the BCG is drained out. Because it is a live vaccine, it is recommended to pour liquid bleach into the toilet for up to 6 hours after receiving the medication in order to kill the vaccine. Pour 2 cups of bleach into the toilet and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before flushing. The patient should drink plenty of fluid in the hours/day after the treatment to flush the bladder. The treatment is given once weekly for 6 weeks, and may be repeated if necessary in the future.
Of note, men having this treatment can pass on BCG to their partners during sexual intercourse. To protect the partner from exposure to BCG, patients should not have sex for 48 hours after each treatment. A condom should be used at other times during the six weeks of treatment and for six weeks after treatment has ended.
There should be no risk to you if the bathroom is cleaned the day of administration, or alternatively, if you did not share a bathroom.

May 4, 2011 - Though stereotactic body radiation therapy is currently used as a treatment for various solid malignant tumors, there is a lack of evidence confirming its effectiveness and safety, according to a review published online May 2 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

I would love the opportunity to get my hands on one of these, count me in.
I have one from the first batch. I love it and considering I barely ever use a paring knife at work, I am amazed how much I use it now. One of those, how did I live without this before? deals. It helps that I also have a saya from Lefty for it and I keep it in my pocket at all times.
I would be "in" for the fun of it, but I will cede my spot to someone who doesn't have one already.

BlizzCon 2013: The new level 100 talents for all classes and specs
Players are getting some peeks at the new level 100 talents at BlizzCon, and Perculia from Wowhead and our own Olivia scrambled to write them down for us. Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to take pictures, but to the best of our knowledge these are all the level 100 talents in their present form.
As with all early glimpses at content, keep in mind that many of these will probably change by the time the beta hits, and the numbers are likely to be tinkered with as well.

Hey guys, this is Shinbai's Board, the story of Yuu and Kitsune
picture here- http://simsterd.deviantart.com/art/New-Title-371856582
and their struggle to earn enough money to stay in their favorite school before the end of the semester or else they'll be kicked out.
I'll Post chapters (or parts of chapters) here so you can review them and make comments at a slow pace but if you want to try and read ahead and catch up to where I'm already at than please go here
And read and review on that site instead as anonymous user
So without further ado, here is part 1 of chapter 1
Shinbai academy, a school where competition is encouraged to the limit. Yes, whether it is in love or destruction, students are always told to strive for the best in every way possible but the most incredible thing about this school is how they enforce the competition of life.
"You must pay for everything you need, nothing is provided except a room where you will learn" "You must get money, defend your money and fight for your survival" those are the decrees of the principal who runs this school and he is not kind…especially when you don't pay the rent.
We begin with soft footsteps; the boy making them was holding brown paper bags of groceries close to his chest as he made his way down the hallway, counting the room numbers to find his own.
"Room ninety-nine, room one-hundred…room one-O-one!" He stopped and focused his big blue eyes, trying his best to see through the groceries blocking his view. "Hmm?" The boy noticed a piece of paper on the door and tried to take a closer look, the bags made crinkling noises as he pressed his body against the paper. "Let's see….E…vic.…tion….Eviction…oh it's an eviction notice." He laughed a little to himself at his accomplishment
"EVICTION!?" The boy shouted, letting go of the bags and showing us his face.
The boy was a classic little brother character. Reaching no taller than five foot eight, the boy had a small frame and large blue eyes that screamed fragile, his blond hair reached down to his shoulders and his bangs were kept up by a dark hair band, they still managed to cover some of his face though. He wore a school uniform (a tan sleeveless v-neck sweater that reached lower than his hips and a short-sleeved white dress shirt underneath) it was too big for him and made him look smaller than he really was.
This is Kitsune age fifteen (though you'd swear he was twelve); his real name is Joshua Shen but some people call him Jo and others call him Shen; he is a student of Shinbai academy (but you'll hear more about that later) my name is Narrator-kun and this is a story about that eviction notice on the door.
Kitsune slowly reached for the pink piece of paper with a shaky hand, his fingers slipped under the eviction notice and pulled lightly. His eyes stared wide at the words on the paper as he read; the shaking went from his hands to the rest of his body. "E-eviction n-notice….." The shaking got worst, he tried to steady his hand but it refused to cope. Eventually he managed to get a firm enough grip on the door that he could push it open
"Dam monster!" Inside the room was another boy playing a video game in a mess of trash.
This is Yuu Satoko, he is the best friend and roommate of Joshua Shen (Kitsune if you haven't clued in on the nickname thing yet) he is in many ways the opposite of Kitsune. Yuu is a tall (six-foot one) tan teen with rugged dark auburn hair that reaches past his shoulders; he has piercing green eyes and a piercing on his left ear. Yuu is the current captain of the karate club; he wears the same uniform as Kitsune though the white shirt he wears is long-sleeved; he currently wasn't wearing the vest.
Yuu sat with his legs crossed .For a while, he didn't seem to notice that his roommate was standing in the doorway, all of his attention on the flashing screen in front of him. The boys fingers smashed buttons and jerked the controller around, his head turned slightly and he noticed the cowering Kitsune standing in shock.
"Oh" The boy said, not noticing the state the boy was in. "It's you Jo-kun, you get the stuff?" He turned back to his video game and continued button mashing before realizing he didn't get an answer and turned back towards the blond. "You okay Jo-kun?" He had a slightly worried look on his face as he pressed the pause button on the controller. "Jo-kun?" He asked again, this time a little more worry in his voice. Yuu got up and walked over to the shivering Kitsune. "Dude, what's the matter?" But there was no response. "What's that paper?"
"It's a…"
"A note?"
"An evict"
"…..IT'S AN EVICTION NOTICE YUU-KUN!" Kitsune shouted; his eyes watering, his hands gripped the paper tighter as he showed Yuu the destructive power.
"AN EVICTION NOTICE!?" Yuu snatched the paper from Kitsune's hands. "Are you sure this is an eviction notice!?"
"I think so..."
"YOU THINK OR YOU KNOW!?" Yuu grabbed Kitsune by the shoulders.
"I-I KNOW!" Kitsune shouted in a panicked attempt at a response.
"Hold on, it might not even be that much right?" Yuu smiled (It was a really weak attempt at comfort) but was still sweating buckets.
"…..seven billion yen…." Yuu said with a sigh of disbelief, Kitsune followed behind as they walked down the hallway. The two were depressed but decided they couldn't do anything now so why not go to class.
"How are we gonna fix this Yuu-kun?" Kitsune asked, he didn't bother to try and make eye contact…his eyes stared down at his feet as he walked down the carpeted floor.
"I don't know Jo-chan, if we don't make enough money by the end of this month we're totally screwed." Yuu looked at the paper again and smacked his face. "How the hell do we owe so much?"
"All the debt from before we started going here got transferred to the school as well,
1 billion
Then there's the expense for room, food, books, and the water usage fees (we pay full price because we enrolled ourselves)
50 million
Then of course there's the debt's we've made inside the school
50 million
And we have to pay a fee to get into class when we're late and we're always late
3 million
I forget we're the rest goes"
"Dammit!" Yuu punched a hole in the wall next to him, Kitsune looked back to see a line of fist sized holes stretching back way too far to count; his eyes then went up to the camera that was following Yuu's movements.
Destruction of school property
4 billion seventy-seven million yen pieces….
"I'm sorry Jo-kun; I guess this is kind of my fault huh?" He looked down and got more depressed than usual
"Heh-heh, don't worry Yuu-kun." Kitsune placed a hand on the teen's shoulder. "We'll be fine as long as we stay calm right?" He smiled an actually reassuring smile to Yuu.
Yuu looked up and began to brighten a little as he went to open the main door to the outside. "Yeah! We're the best of the best aren't we; I know we can do it if we jus- LOOK OUT!" Yuu tackled Kitsune to the ground, the whistle of a blade and the chunk of it hitting the wall behind the two was his explanation. "Shit, we don't have time to deal with her today." Yuu grumbled as he got up. He took Kitsune's hand and pulled him up too. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Yuu-kun." Kitsune said with a weak smile, he dusted himself off and looked around at the place they landed in.
A lush green palace of flora, a rainbow of flowers cascading across the ground. In the center of the masterpiece was a humungous tree the width of which you could run laps around for a real exercise and the height of which made you fill like an ant.
The Garden, a place of contemplation and serenity in the Shinbai school dorm building; the schools hectic and chaotic life style often forces even the most composed of students to fall victim to the stress of this every day school life. For this reason, The Garden was created so that all students may take in the smell of the flowers and become at peace if only for a moment, this is also why all doors leading to and from the dorms lead to this place so that all students pass through the garden at some point in the day.
Kitsune and Yuu stood in at the door and took a deep breath in of the fresh air; it calmed them and made them at peace…..
"Move!" A kunai knife shot through the air and almost impaled Kitsune's forehead but Yuu caught it between his fingers.
…if only for a moment
"Good reflexes Yuu-chan!" A female voice boomed from a branch high up on the gargantuan tree.
A girl with long velvet hair that reached down her back and almost to her feet was leaning on the trunk of the tree as she stood on the wobbling branch. Her hair was wrapped up tight in a white silk cloth that kept the purple locks in a neat line down her back; her bangs were long and parted to the right so you could only see her left eye (a beautiful shade of dark red). The girl also had a thin curvy body with a set of large breasts adorning her chest.
"I wonder how good they'll be against this!" The girl whipped out another kunai knife and threw it at the two boys. Yuu just yawned as the blade came closer towards him; he flicked his wrist and snatched the knife out of the air in one fluent motion.
"You're not making us late again you dammed ninja!" The boy shouted, throwing the blade back at the velvet beauty. The blade struck the trunk, a hairs width away from the girl's head, yet she didn't flinch.
"What's got you down in the dumpy-dumps Yuu-chan?" She asked with a baby talk accent.
Yuu turned to Kitsune. "What's she saying?" Yuu asked. Kitsune pulled out a pair of binoculars and looked at the girl standing on the branches.
"She says she's coming down." Kitsune informed the teen; they both stepped back in anticipation.
The girl started jumping back and forth like a boxer before jumping off the branch with her arms and legs tucked in, she spun through the air in ball form before spreading out her arms to release the hundreds of kunai and shuriken stars upon the two.
Akane, the self proclaimed "Ninja" of Shinbai academy, her interests include: having her photograph taken, walking around in bikinis, changing her hair and eye color from time to time and making Yuu and Kitsune's lives just plain difficult (meaning she makes them late for school…because she can). Oh, she wears the same uniform as Kitsune-chan but with a skirt instead of pants…but stating that is kind of redundant.
"Jo-kun! Evasive maneuvers!" Yuu shouted.
Kitsune dashed for a nearby bush and pulled out a round shield, he tossed it like a disk to Yuu and the teen caught it without a hitch.
Yuu ducked down under the shield as the knives came like rain down on the two. Kitsune was back inside while Yuu was under the shield, the knives striking the wooden circle with hundreds of thuds.
"Not over!" Kitsune shouted, Yuu stood and looked up to see Akane with her arms spread out like she was sky diving. The girl pulled back a fist, a slightly psychotic smile was on her face. Yuu held up the shield in a defensive stance. Akane's smile changed to a soft one.
Akane shot her fist forward; it crashed against the wooden frame and sent Yuu sliding on his feet backwards. Yuu lowered the kunai covered shield to see Akane landing like a cat a few paces away, her back to the tan warrior.
"What's the matter Yuu-chan?" She asked with a slight sign of actual concern. "You're usually a little more aggressive." She got up and spun around to show another kunai knife in her hand (this one's blade was a few inches longer than the other and slightly flatter) she twirled the blade in her hand then suddenly snatched it out of the air and held it like a dagger (the blade pointed downwards).
"We don't have time to fight you today!" Yuu shouted. But Akane was already picking up speed in her footwork.
A slam on the ground with her left foot and Akane was propelling herself forward like a jet.
"Shit" Yuu was quick to prepare; Akane closed the gap between them and came up with and upward slash, it cut through Yuu's ragged hair as he bent backwards. Then came a shing (the sound of Akane flipping the blade so that she held it like a sword) the ninja slashed down and cut a line through Yuu's vest and shirt. Yuu retaliated with a swift knee strike, Akane's sword slash had left her tilting downwards and she wasn't ready for the oncoming strike. The ninja slipped a hand under her chin and caught the knee before it made contact.
Akane jumped, pressing her hand on the knee, she did a handstand (if you know where this move comes from then you're awesome!) and then flipped onto Yuu's shoulders so the she was sitting on them with her skirt bottom in his face (almost forgot to mention that she's a pervert). Yuu stumbled back a few steps before Akane locked legs and tilted her weight backwards.
"Check this move out!" She cheered. Suddenly she did a back flip and Yuu was in the air, the ninja let go of her legs and the tan teen slammed against the ground, face up. Akane stood over him with a frown. "I notice you're a little slow today Yuu-chan." She sighed.
Yuu throughout a sweep kick but Akane caught it with one leg and then kicked him in the side with the other.
"See!?" She said with a worried voice. "You never let me get kicks like these off…" She emphasized her point with another kick to his side.
"…dammed ninja..." Yuu muttered as he rolled over to get up.
"We got some bad news today…" Kitsune said as he helped Yuu get to his feet. "We're kind of getting evicted soon so we're both a little down in the dumps."
"Evicted!" Akane repeated in shock. "How much do you guys owe?"
"It's looking to be around….seven billion…"
"Seven Billion!" Akane repeated again.
"Yeah, we're in a bit of a bind aren't we?"
"Not that big a deal, all you have to do is get a few jobs from The Board right?" Her smile brightened.
"The Board is a hell hole; people get their bones broken trying to get a job from there!" Yuu protested. "You lost almost all your clothes when the guys were trying to tear you apart to get a job from you."
"Yeaaahhh…" She sighed with a blissful smile.
"What the hell are you remembering!?"
"N-nothing, just some childhood memories is all…"
"What the hell kind of childhood memories do you have!?"
"Oh right! Well, you guys don't have much of a choice right, you'll lose your admittance here if you can't pay the bills by the end of this semester."
"Yeah…" Kitsune gave a sad smile.
"If only there was a safer way to find a job in this school." Yuu said.
"Can I help?" A sympathetic voice came from behind them making them all spin around to see who it was.
A bright blonde beauty stood behind them, her hair was a wavy summit of light and her big beautiful eyes were the same diamond blue as Kitsune's (in my opinion they're just a smidgen bit duller than his); her petite form stood at five foot nine and her chest was adorned with the same smooth round orbs as Akane's (though perhaps slightly larger). The girl wore the same uniform as her classmates along with an adorably bright smile.
The three stood in silence for a second. Immediately they all turned around and scrunched up together.
"Holy fucking shit! It's Sarah!" Yuu whisper shouted; the expression on his face was strange (a weird mix of nervousness with spikes of anger) he had a small begrudging smile with a few drops of sweat forming on his forehead.
"What does she want; we placed an offering to her just last week!" Akane started to hyperventilate.
"Hah-hah! You guy's are being so strange when Sarah is our friend!" Kitsune gave a smile (his face was dripping with a cold sweat and his legs were wobbling like two twigs tied to a chain in a tornado).
"Kitsune-chan, you're worst than us!" Akane pointed out.
"Maybe she didn't see us; we can still make a run for it!" Yuu's breath was short and choppy under the pressure.
"Whatcha talkin 'bout?"
"HOLY SHIT!" Yuu shouted in surprise. "I mean…nothing Sarah; we're just talking about…plants!"
"I heard you guys needed a job." Sarah said. "Why not work for me?" She said with another cheerful smile.
"Like hell to that!" Yuu shot a pointed finger at her.
"Please Yuu-kun!" Sarah clasped her hands together with a big puppy dog faced beg. "You gotta help me!"
So here's her profile.
Sarah Star (yes, Star!) the member of a filthy rich family, she is the idol of the school, the president of the school and the demon queen of the school as well; she has a distain for Kitsune and enjoys causing fear throughout the school buildings. She is, in short, the anti-Christ (if he was girl and had a butler) and will obliterate everything that doesn't move the way she says…but she's yet to of destroyed anything (what does that tell you?)
"No!" Yuu shouted louder this time. "Working for you would be working for the devil!"
Sarah took a step forward and placed a hand on the taller teens shoulder, the blonde let out a big breath and then lifted her head to show a gentle smile. "Is that such a bad thing?"
"Don't say things like that so nonchalantly!"
Sarah backed up and gave a soft giggle. "You don't really have a choice okay Yuu-chan?" She had a kind of radiance about her, a radiance that was most likely created with the blood of a demon and the moonlight's shine on the devil's birthday. "You'll work for me whether you like it or not." She threw out another giggle. "I was here just to give you the message that you two are my newest employees so I'll be taking my leave now. Come butler-san!" Sarah laughed one last time before she walked off into a shadow and disappeared.
Akane and Yuu shuddered as a cold chill washed over them.
"That girl scares the shit out of me!" Akane whispered to Yuu.
"I don't like her either but it looks like we're stuck in a tight situation."
"On one side, you could go get a job at The Board and be trampled to death." Akane said with a stern look of concentration, her eyes shut tight as she focused.
"On the other hand, we could go work for Sarah…."
They both broke out into a laughing fit, falling to ground and rolling around trying to keep their breath.
"O-okay..." Akane breathed out while a tear from her eye. "I'll see you guys at The Board later today." She couldn't stop the small bits of laughter coming from the earlier option presented. The velvet haired ninja pulled out a black ball and threw it to the ground; the impact caused a puff of smoke to appear and when it vanished, so did Akane.
"What's with all the smoke every time she leaves a room?" Yuu asked between coughs. Out of no where, a piece of paper smacked him in the face. "The hell?" Yuu grabbed the paper and read the words aloud.
Late again
Love Akane!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Have you challenged yourself throughout high school by taking Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or college-level courses? Well, here at SUNY Plattsburgh, we want to award you for your achievement by accepting those courses as transfer credit. Learn more about:
Transferring your advanced credits to SUNY Plattsburgh is easy - just follow these five simple steps:
Talk to your school counselor, teachers, and parents to figure out if you are taking an Advanced Placement (AP) or college-level class. This is important because it can affect the way your course will transfer to SUNY Plattsburgh.
Hint: If you have paid a college or university to take the class, you are receiving college-level credit. But, if you are sitting for an exam in May, you are taking an AP course.
The Admissions Office needs to know the courses that you are taking for college credit in order to start the initial transfer process. So, be sure to carefully fill out the Worksheet for Freshmen with College Credit to ensure accuracy, as this can affect the registration process during summer orientation. The Freshmen with College Credit form will be available online in your MyPlattsburgh account in June.
Submitting the Worksheet for Freshmen with College Credit will give you a preliminary credit estimate, which will show any college-level courses that you should earn credit for, and how they will transfer to SUNY Plattsburgh. Please note that official college transcripts and/or AP/IB score reports are required to officially transfer your credit and to create your official credit evaluation. Be sure to print your credit estimate and bring it with you to orientation in the summer. This estimate will assist faculty with the advisement process.
Please note: We will not place any unofficial credit on your transfer credit evaluation. Official transcripts and/or score reports are required to post credit to your Degree Works Audit (transfer credit evaluation). The Freshman with College Credit form is used only for informational purposes, and to provide an estimate of your credits.
For Advanced Placement (AP) credit, be sure to send us an official score report from the College Board or have your school counseling office report it on your official high school transcript.
For International Baccalaureate (IB) credit, the Admissions Office will need an official score report from the International Baccalaureate Organization.
If you have earned college-level credits, please request an official transcript from the Registrar's Office at the institution where you have earned the credit after your grade is posted. We cannot accept a grade report or a copy of your transcript.
The Admissions Office will post your credit evaluation (Degree Works Audit) to your MyPlattsburgh account once we receive your official AP, IB, or college-level transcripts. Again, check your credit evaluation for accuracy and report any issues to the Admissions Office. If you have multiple transcripts and/or score reports, we will update your credit evaluation as each transcript/score report arrives.
The Admissions Office is located on the 10th floor of the Kehoe Building.

CHARACTER Michelle | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto IV |
Full name: | Michelle |
Also known as: | Karen |
Status: | Alive |
Gender: | Female |
Date of birth: | 1981 (Age 27) |
Home: | Mohawk Avenue, Rotterdam Hill, Liberty City |
Nationality: | American |
Main affiliation: | Niko Bellic (ex-boyfriend)
Mallorie Bardas (friend) United Liberty Paper (agent) |
Vehicle(s): | Silver Merit |
Voiced by: | Rebecca Henderson |
Michelle is a character who appears as a supporting character and a girlfriend in GTA IV. She is Niko Bellic's first girlfriend in Grand Theft Auto IV. Her real name is Karen. She is introduced to her during the mission "Three's a Crowd" by Mallorie Bardas, who encourages the two of them to date, due to Niko's having just arrived in the city and not knowing anybody.
At 27, Michelle is three years younger than Niko. Mallorie sets the both of them up and they decide to begin dating. Not much is known about her past life except that she may have had criminal links herself. She claims she is not a local in Liberty City, having arrived from the Midwest.
Unlike other girlfriends, Michelle has no special ability. However, she allows the player to keep her unique silver Merit after the mission First Date.
Michelle likes being chauffeured in almost any car, except vans and emergency vehicles. She also isn't fond of certain cars that come in beater variants. She likes Niko wearing clothes from the Russian Shop. Michelle prefers variety, expressing interest in new cars and pointing out if Niko is wearing the same outfit or takes her to the same place constantly. However, her intonation when asking about a new car sounds more like the questions she asks about his business rather an actual interest like in the case of glasses for example, leading us to believe she's assuming it's from illicit activities. In general, Michelle enjoys going out on dates to a variety of places, including restaurants, nightclubs, and bars. Taking her to a venue which has some form of criminal connection, for example Perestroika, or Comrades Bar will cause Michelle to ask about the various mobsters. Niko will quickly dismiss this by saying "I really don't know about that sort of thing, Michelle." among other things.

Venues Michelle Likes
- Bowling
- Darts
- Pool
- Split Sides (she does not like Perestroika due to the criminal heads that run the club)
- Michelle likes most radio stations, but dislikes Tuff Gong, The Classics and Integrity 2.0.
- Michelle dislikes the Happiness Island shirt.
- If Michelle likes a set of clothes, she is happy to see it repeatedly
- Michelle complains if you drive too fast for her. If you drive slowly she praises your driving, but in a sarcastic-sounding way. These do not affect the success of your date.
- If you take Michelle out on a date to a bar she does not drink and therefore does not get drunk.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, ask Michelle out on a date. When you arrive at her house push (don't punch her or it won't work) her until a message appears stating "Michelle Has Been Killed". A couple of hours later (in game time) Michelle will call you and ask you to pick her up. Say yes, go to the hospital (but do not get so close to her that she knows you're there to pick her up), fire a RPG to the side of her and she will die and will stay dead. After she is dead her body will stay at the place of death indicated by a heart symbol. You may call her to arrange a date, but when you arrive at her house it will say "Michelle Has Been Killed". There is a possibility that the game will freeze; if it does you will have to shut off your console. Also, if you do not want to lose any game progress you should save your game before attempting this glitch.

- Three's a Crowd
- First Date (Boss)
- Blow Your Cover (Post-mission phone call)

Purim and your unique role in life.

Very Inspiring
Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! I have no words to describe how amazing this video clip was and what an impact it made on me and my perception of Purim. I always looked forward to Purim but this year I feel it will be a different and more uplifting Yom Tov. Thank You Aish! I would love to see mor clips of Charlie Harary
(45) Ellen, February 8, 2013 8:34 PM
Charlie has a way of explaining Judaism in such a way that even a non-religious Jew like me is profoundly moved and sees an extraordinary beauty and wisdom in Judaism. My Hebrew school teachers made everything sound so dry and boring. Charlie, however, makes Judaism the most relevant religion I know of. Thanks Aish and Charlie Harary!
(44) Anonymous, March 16, 2012 1:55 PM
I actually understood something else!
The theme of your video, "we are put here on this world for a purpose, to make a difference", is beautiful, but, actually, until you explained the theme, I thought it was about ahavas yisroel and chesed. What Esther and Mordechai did for klal yisroel is the epitomy of love of their people, worrying, and caring, and risking their lives to care for their fellow Jews. and even if you don't know what is your purpose in this world, you are here to try to make this world a better place by being a good , decent person.
(43) EJT, March 7, 2012 10:16 PM
It is Enough To be All You Are
It is ones own truth, that frees a man. It is converting fear, into courage, that helps us step. It is the total belief that we are never alone, in the face of anything, and in that truth lies, true love. As you run the race with the Jewish People, I will be watching you, with a smiling heart, knowing you are part of our family. May the Blessings of Words Always come from Hashem to Spread Light Where Ye Goes.... God Bless You Charlie Harary…..EJT

Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful, blistering skin rash. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. This is the virus that also causes chickenpox.
Herpes zoster
After you get chickenpox , the virus remains inactive (becomes dormant) in certain nerves in the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes active again in these nerves after many years.
The reason the virus suddenly becomes active again is not clear. Often only one attack occurs.
Shingles can develop in any age group. You are more likely to develop the condition if:
If an adult or child has direct contact with the shingles rash and did not have chickenpox as a child or the chickenpox vaccine , they can develop chickenpox, not shingles.
The first symptom is usually pain, tingling, or burning that occurs on one side of the body. The pain and burning may be severe and are usually present before any rash appears.
Red patches on the skin, followed by small blisters, form in most people:
Other symptoms may include:
You may also have pain, muscle weakness, and a rash involving different parts of your face if shingles affects a nerve in your face. The symptoms may include:
Your health care provider can make the diagnosis by looking at your skin and asking about your medical history.
Tests are rarely needed, but may include taking a skin sample to see if the skin is infected with the virus.
Blood tests may show an increase in white blood cells and antibodies to the chickenpox virus. But the tests cannot confirm that the rash is due to shingles.
Your health care provider may prescribe a medicine that fights the virus, called an antiviral drug. This drug helps reduce pain, prevent complications, and shorten the course of the disease.
The medicines should be started within 72 hours of when you first feel pain or burning. It is best to start taking them before the blisters appear. The medicines are usually given in pill form. Some people may need to receive the medicine through a vein (by IV).
Strong anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids, such as prednisone, may be used to reduce swelling and pain. These medicines do not work in all patients.
Other medicines may include:
Follow your health care provider's instructions about how to care for yourself at home .
Other measures may include:
Stay away from people while your sores are oozing to avoid infecting those who have never had chickenpox -- especially pregnant women.
Herpes zoster usually clears in 2 to 3 weeks and rarely returns. If the virus affects the nerves that control movement (the motor nerves), you may have temporary or permanent weakness or paralysis.
Sometimes the pain in the area where the shingles occurred may last from months to years. This pain is called postherpetic neuralgia.
It occurs when the nerves have been damaged after an outbreak of shingles. Pain ranges from mild to very severe. Postherpetic neuralgia is more likely to occur in persons over age 60.
Complications may include:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of shingles, particularly if you have a weakened immune system or if your symptoms persist or worsen. Shingles that affects the eye may lead to permanent blindness if you do not receive emergency medical care.
Do not touch the rash and blisters on persons with shingles or chickenpox if you have never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine.
A herpes zoster vaccine is available. It is different than the chickenpox vaccine. Older adults who receive the herpes zoster vaccine are less likely to have complications from shingles.

Of course, she's an immortal human, but a human nonetheless.
To be clear, she's only immortal because Grim refuses to reap her. It's kind of like never being fired from a job because you married the boss. So in truth there really isn't anything special about Mandy, just that Grim wont kill her. And by extension, everyone residing at Castle Grimskull.
Interestingly, I thought I had found a plot hole because I remember Minnie had died, but in looking back at it Junior reaped her soul. But that still doesn't explain how she couldn't recover from dismemberment. Mandy healed in seconds after slitting her own throat, Lord Pain took an axe to the face like a champ, I guess there's a limit to how much damage they can recover from?
Come to think of it, how many characters in the underworld have died without Grim's involvement? Shouldn't he have shown up for Jeff when he was decapitated by Him? Did he reap Nergal's soul with his son standing [i]right there?[i] Huh. What a jerk.

Thanksgiving is a holiday steeped in tradition. Invariably, we turn to the same comforting habits every year. "I normally decorate a chandelier in my mother's dining room," says Zac Posen. Harvey Weinstein swears by his one ritual: "I'll eat blintzes with turkey," he says. Michael Bastian, whose father was a basketball coach, has a standing appointment for a family basketball game. "I travel a lot, so it's the one weekend a year where we always get together," he says. The same is true in the kitchen. We swear by that one stuffing recipe that's handed down from our most ancient forefathers and that pumpkin pie grandma used to make. We asked six designers for their signature Thanksgiving dishes.
Zac Posen:
I bake a lot at home. This recipe, my own, is a way to create a more exciting and sumptuous cookie that, albeit rich, is refreshing after a big Thanksgiving meal. The sweetness of the molasses perfectly marries the heartiness of the sesame seeds.
Spiced Thanksgiving Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup almond flower
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salted butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon water
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift all the dry ingredients together. In a larger bowl, mix the sugar and the butter until fluffy. Add the water and molasses. Then add the dry ingredients to form a dough.
Take about a tablespoon-and-a-half of the dough and roll into balls. Slightly flatten with the palm of your hand and place on a tray. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes and allow 5 minutes to cool.
