In this article, we are covering two new cards: Temporus, a Priest legendary minion, and a Paladin common minion, whose official name hasn't been confirmed yet.
"Merciful Djinni" was revealed earlier today by Thai player Anothersayoran1. The name of the card hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
Image and nickname by Hearthpwn.
It is difficult to judge this card without seeing it in action. It's comparable to Friendly Bartender: while the Djinni heals for more, its 2 attack value is a bit mediocre for a 3-mana minion. Shaman's Hot Spring Guardian is slightly better, since it has Taunt and a targeted heal effect. Then again, Djinni also acts like a Taunt, in the sense that your opponent probably has to spend early resources to remove its powerful effect. Both cards, though, are beaten by Tar Creeper.
This make the Djinni a great anti-aggro tool. Additionally, it synergises well with Blackguard and its Elemental tribe means that maybe we'll get to see an Elemental Paladin. This is definitely a powerful Arena card. But can it secure a spot in constructed mode? It looks difficult, since Paladin already has some great 3-mana minions.
This intriguing minion was revealed by Eurogamer. Its sister site, Metabomb, sat down with Peter Whalen and Ben Thompson to talk about this card. Both developers think that Temporus can be run in either the classic OTK Priest (Divine Spirit + Inner Fire) or in two new versions of Dragon Priest: a more midrange one and an OTK one with Malygos.
It would be interesting to see what it's interaction is going to be with Brann Bronzebeard. Temporus is a "high risk, high reward" card and, even if you don't like it or it turns out to be bad, you'd still have to commend its design.

The newest Legendary Shaman minion has me shaking in my boots. Is this the card that will put Elemental Shaman over the top?
Chinese Hearthstone streamer Snowkiss has revealed the Legendary Shaman minion from K&C. This bad boy appears to pack quite the punch - my mind is already racing with potential combos and synergies for Grumble, World Shaker:
Card image courtesy of Hearthpwn.com
Elementals have plenty of powerful Battlecry triggers which Grumble could play for a second time. Kalimos, Primal Lord, Servant of Kalimos, Blazecaller, and Jade Spirit immediately come to mind as potent synergies for the shaker of worlds. Grumble could also be used to double down of Jade cards such as Jade Chieftain and Aya Blackpaw, or could even be used to recycle the Battlecry triggers of the old gods. All of this on a 7/7 for 6 mana? Sign me up!
Is this the card that Elemental Shaman has been waiting for? Let us know what you think about Grumble in the comment section, and check out our Kobolds and Catacombs hub for more information on the upcoming set.

The second of three Unidentified Magic Items to be revealed from Kobolds and Catacombs, will Unidentified Maul be a smashing success on the ladder?
Kripparrian revealed the second of three Unidentified Magic Items in Kobolds and Catacombs today on his Twitter accounter, Unidentifed Maul:
A Paladin Weapon, Unidentified Maul begins each game with an unknown effect and will become "identified" upon drawing the card from your deck. The weapon will always be a 3 mana 2/2, but will be randomly bestowed with one of the four following effects when drawn:
A couple of the potential modes on this card are very enticing. Two Silver Hand Recruits and a 2/2 weapon for 3 mana is a screaming deal, and the other three modes offer some serious value if you're already ahead on board. Given that three of the four potential modes on Unidentified Maul aren't very good when you're behind, I doubt this card will slot in as an instant replacement for Rallying Blade. Unidentified Maul could end up seeing play in token-based strategies, as granting +1 Attack or Divine Shield to a wide board of minions drawn from Small-Time Recruits is nothing to shake a hammer at.
Will the random nature of Unidentified Maul be its downfall, or will its synergies with token strategies enable it to see some play on the ladder? Let us know what you think in the comments, and be sure to check out our Kobolds and Catacombs hub for more information on the upcoming set.

Mage gets its first revealed Kobolds & Catacombs minion. And guess what? Joust is back!
This card release was unexpected, since it wasn't on the schedule, but it is welcome nonetheless! The Hearthstone Brazil Instagram account revealed this minion:
Image by Hearthpwn.
It is interesting to see the Joust mechanic return after such a long time. I'd place this card in average tier. It is worse than Arcanologist, since it has one less health and it's also not guaranteed that it will draw you a spell. Even compared to Novice Engineer and Loot Hoarder, Raven Familiar might be a better body but the other two cards are run in decks that really need the guaranteed card draw. The poor Raven can be a liability in a control oriented Mage deck.
This card is slightly better for Arena mode. Then again, spells aren't that common in that mode and there's also a reduced offer rate for spells like Fireball and Flamestrike.
Lastly, the Beast synergy is noteworthy. I don't think we'll be seeing Beast Mage any time soon. So Raven Familiar is a weak 2-mana drop that can be generated and offered to Hunters - although this is mostly going to affect Wild mode.
Feel free to visit our Kobolds & Catacombs hub for all details and revealed cards of the upcoming expansion.

Spoiled yesterday as a 6 mana 5/4, Seeping Oozeling now appears on the PlayHearthstone website with a lowered mana cost.
Edit: Confirmed in a tweet by the official Hearthstone account, the 5 mana 4/3 version of Seeping Oozeling is an error. Yesterday's 6 mana 5/4 version is the card we'll be seeing in K&C this December.
Reddit user Fabman650 recently noticed that Seeping Oozeling has different stats on the official PlayHearthstone website than it did in yesterday's spoiler. The card was spoiled yesterday as a 6 mana 5/4, but appears on the PlayHearthstone website as a 5 mana 4/3:
If this is truly an intended update by Blizzard (and not some kind of mistake), this would be a significant buff to Seeping Oozeling. The true power in this card lies in its Battlecry trigger, not its stats, meaning that a reduction to its mana cost would make it significantly stronger. At 5 mana, Seeping Oozeling also compares much more favorably to Savannah Highmane than it did before.
Is Seeping Oozeling now strong enough to see play? Let us know what you think about the updated card, and remember to check our news forum and the Kobolds & Catacombs hub for more new cards from K&C!

Wyatt wanted a family. Like his best friend Hank.
Or at least a babezee. The catalog said that the doctors used bits of your hair to make the babezee. Your eyes, your hair color, and everything. Almost like a real baby, only better, because your babezee never grew up.
His to love, for always. Perfect.
GMO food is only the beginning.
"Have you seen my babezee catalog?" Wyatt shoved the brightly colored catalog at Hank.
Hank scowled. It was his most common expression and one that he was good at. He used his broom handle to shove the offending catalog aside. "Don't start with that shit, Wyatt. Fake babies? Who needs that? I have enough trouble with the real thing."
Wyatt's finger traced the plump curve of a happy cheek. The paper felt slick and cold beneath his finger. Not at all how the babezee would feel. A babezee would be warm and soft. He could cuddle it and carry it around. "Ain't fake."
Hank shook the broom handle. "Just push the damn cart, Wyatt. You can look at the catalog when we take a break. We have to get this place clean after all."
Sometimes Wyatt wished that Hank would listen more. He always seemed angry. Wyatt didn't understand that. Hank had a perfect life. He had a good job cleaning. It was nice and quiet at night too. No people to give them trouble. When Hank went home Wanda would be there, Hank's wife. She was pretty. Plump like the babezees. Wyatt liked her laugh. He remembered from the time he went to Hank's barbecue party last summer. Hank had a house and a car and kids of his own. Wyatt didn't know what he thought about the kids. They were so quick and loud. At the barbecue he couldn't understand how Hank and Wanda kept track of them. It seemed like everywhere he had looked the kids were there running and laughing. Screaming sometimes too. He didn't like the screams. And Wanda had a baby. A real baby that she grew in her own tummy. Hank called the baby his angel but her name was actually Martha. Wyatt thought Hank should be happy because he had so much but Hank usually complained about something.
Wyatt pushed the cart while Hank pushed the broom. Sometimes Hank let him push the broom but when he did Hank usually complained that Wyatt missed something so mostly Wyatt pushed the cart. He liked pushing the cart. He kept it neat. Everything in the right place, ready so he could hand Hank whatever he needed. Sometimes Hank called him his nurse. That made Hank laugh but Wyatt didn't understand why.
"You still with me Wyatt? Or are you off dreaming about those damn babezees?"
Wyatt rolled up the catalog and stuffed it in his back pocket. "I'm here, Hank. Need something?"
"The fucking dust pan, thank you very much."
Wyatt handed Hank the dust pan. "You're welcome."
After work Wyatt went out to the bus stop and sat on the cold metal bench. He took out the babezee catalog and looked at the pictures some more. There were all sorts of babezees in the pictures. Wyatt had asked Hank to help him understand why. Hank said no but Jilly back at the office had told him. The babezee doctors took some of your hair when you wanted a babezee. They used the hair to make the babezee match you, so it would have your eyes and hair. Jilly said it made the babezees seem real because they looked like you. Wyatt looked at all of the different babezees smiling in the pictures. Did he want a babezee to look like him? The thought made his palms sweaty and his heart race. A babezee of his very own that would look like him, that's what he wanted.
He hugged the catalog to his chest and wished he could smell "that perfect babezee" smell. He wanted to come home and find the babezee waiting for him, happy to be fed. It seemed like a babezee would be much better than a dog which might bark or bite. Or a cat that could scratch. You couldn't cuddle a bird.
A babezee would be the best, Wyatt thought. He had to get one. Jilly might help him. He'd ask her tomorrow.
"Jilly! I have a question."
Jilly tapped a stack of papers on her desk. She smelled like strawberries. Jilly always smelled like strawberries but Wyatt never saw her eat any. "What is it?"
Wyatt held out the babezee catalog and Jilly groaned.
"Are you still going on about those things?"
"I want one."
Jilly took the catalog and tossed it down on her desk. She pointed a strawberry-red fingernail at the babezees smiling on the cover. "You want one of these twisted monkey mutants? Are you fucking kidding me?"
"It isn't a monkey," Wyatt complained. "It's a babezee."
"I told you before, Wyatt. Those are chimpanzees that they've mucked around with. They changed stuff inside them to get rid of the hair, changed around their hands and faces. Turned them into fucking useless imitation babies only without the screaming all night. Perfect angels, they call them but I'm telling you that's some twisted shit. They sell these things to rich broads too busy and too pure to have children themselves. Real save-the-planet types while they show off their perfectly cute mutant monkeys. Filling the maternal instinct crap. And you don't have any maternal instincts, Wyatt. You aren't a woman."
"I want one," Wyatt said stubbornly. "I need your help to order one. I don't know what to do."
Jilly rubbed her eyes. "Look, Wyatt. These things cost a shit-load of money."
"I have money."
"Come on, how much money do you have?"
Wyatt thought maybe Jilly was going to change her mind and help him. He had brought his checkbook with him. He held it out. "I write down everything I save."
For a second she just stared at Wyatt then she snatched the checkbook out of his hand. She flipped through the pages and her eyes grew wide. She covered her mouth for a second and then let the checkbook drop onto the babezee catalog. "How the hell do you have that kind of money?"
Wyatt shrugged. "I save my money. Isn't that good?"
Jilly laughed. "Sure, it's fucking great. Don't you buy stuff?"
"Only what I need," Wyatt said.
"But you want to buy one of these babezees? It'll clean out your savings, Wyatt. Hell, you could buy a house with what you have and as much as those things cost."
"Really?" Wyatt hadn't ever thought he could buy a house. He could have his own house just like Hank. Except he didn't need a house, did he? All by himself? He shook his head. "I just want a babezee."
"I don't know about this, Wyatt. Why do you want one of these things?"
"I just do," he said. It was hard to explain. He didn't think he could make Jilly understand.
She tapped the catalog again. Outside he heard the truck breaks squeal. Hank would be coming in. "You'll have to do better than that. They don't sell babezees to just anyone. They do screenings."
"What's that?"
"They test you, Wyatt. To make sure you are the right type of person to have a babezee. They don't want to sell to fucking pedophiles, you know?"
He wasn't sure what she meant. "Will you help me?"
Jilly picked up the catalog and his checkbook. She shoved them at him. "No, Wyatt. It's a bad idea. I'd be wrong not to tell you that. Save your fucking money. Forget about the babezees."
Hank knocked on the door. "Hey man, you ready to roll?"
"Come on, Wyatt. What's the problem, man?"
Hank had already asked that question more than once. Wyatt shook his head and pulled the next trash bag out of the wastebasket. He dropped it into the big trash bin on the cart. When he reached to get another trash bag Hank snatched the roll away.
"Tell me what the fuck is wrong, man! I can't be going through the whole shift looking at your hang-dog face."
The trouble was whenever Wyatt thought about what Jilly had said he felt like crying. He wasn't supposed to cry. He knew that. Men didn't cry. He didn't want to start blubbering in front of Hank. Then Hank would know the truth, that he wasn't really a man. He wasn't going to have a wife like Wanda and a house. A babezee would be enough but Jilly had been mean. She wouldn't help him.
"Come on Wyatt. You're pissing me off. I don't want to spend the whole shift with you looking like you've lost a winning lottery ticket."
Wyatt pulled the catalog out of his back pocket. He held it out to Hank. Hank took the catalog, unrolled it and groaned. "Babezees? You're still going on about these things? You know they never grow up, right?" Hank's finger poked at the belly of a laughing babezee. "They stay like that right up until they die. Pathetic little fuckers."
Wyatt reached for the catalog. He could feel his face burning. Hank and Jilly were the same. They didn't understand. Hank didn't give him the catalog back. He held it out of Wyatt's reach and moved around the cart.
"Hank, can I please have it back?"
"You know how much these things cost? Heck, if I had that kind of money I could send one of my kids to college, not that there would be much point. You couldn't afford to buy one of them anyway. How about we just throw this away?"
Hank dangled the catalog over the trash bin. Wyatt lunged across the cart, upsetting the toilet paper rolls but Hank kept the catalog out of reach and danced back with a laugh. Wyatt clenched his fists.
"Hank, that's mine!"
"Bullshit. You found it in one of the office trash cans."
"Yeah, but I found it so finders keepers. They didn't want it."
Hank waved the catalog. "But you can't get one of these!"
Wyatt dug in his other pocket and pulled out the check book. "I have money."
"Really? Let me see."
"Give me the catalog first," Wyatt said.
"Sure, sure." Hank handed over the catalog and took the checkbook.
Wyatt looked at the pictures of the babezees on the front. They looked so happy. Hank and Jilly didn't like them but that was okay. He liked them. Other people did too or there wouldn't be this catalog. Hank whistled.
"Jeezus! You do have some dough, don't you?"
"I told Jilly I had money," Wyatt said. "She wouldn't help me buy a babezee."
"You save everything, don't you man?"
"It's good to save money."
Hank nodded. "Sure it's good, but you have to spend something now and then. Why else do this work?"
"I like my job," Wyatt said. "I like things clean."
"Sure, sure. You really want to blow your wad on one of these babezees, don't you?" Hank laughed and waved the checkbook. "You won't have all that money saved anymore."
"I want one," Wyatt said. He struggled to find the words. It was hard sometimes. "I want to take care of it."
"I get it, man. You know that they don't live long, right? Five years or so, that's it."
Five years! It sounded like a long time to Wyatt. He didn't really care about the money. He saved it because that's what he was supposed to do. Everyone said that it was good to save money. He hadn't ever really understood why until now. Without knowing it he had been saving for a babezee.
"Wyatt? You still there?"
"Yes, Hank."
Hank thwacked Wyatt in the chest with the checkbook. Wyatt took the checkbook back. "I'll help you, man. It's some crazy shit but I'll help you out. Saturday we'll go over to that clinic they have."
"It's like a store, man. You have to answer questions and shit before they decide whether or not you are the right type of person to have one of these babezees." Hank's voice sounded serious. He put a hand on Wyatt's shoulder and that made Wyatt feel better. Hank was his friend even if he did get angry a lot. "I'll help you out there, okay?"
Impulsively Wyatt pulled Hank into a hug because he was so happy. It only lasted a second before Hank pushed him away but Wyatt thought he saw Hank smile as he turned away and picked up a broom.
"Come on man, we have cleaning to do."
When Saturday came Wyatt was so excited that he couldn't sit still and wait so he cleaned his apartment and dressed in his best clothes. Hank came and took him downtown. The whole way Wyatt sang along with the country western songs on Hank's radio even when he didn't know the words. He stared at the babezee catalog while he sang as if he was singing to all of those smiling faces, their eyes big with happiness and laughter.
At last Hank pulled to a stop in front of a building. Wyatt was first out of the truck but then he stopped, unsure of where to go. The building in front of them looked worn and dingy. It wasn't clean. Graffiti made the walls look dirty and trash littered the parking lot. In front of them was a rusted rolling metal door like some of the work-sites had at the loading docks. It didn't look like the sort of place where Wyatt expected to find the babezees. Hank had gotten out of the truck and came around the front jingling his keys.
"This is the clinic?" Wyatt asked.
"This is better," Hank said. "You brought the cash like I said?"
Wyatt dug his hand into his coverall pocket and pulled out the banded stack of bills. Hank shoved his hand back to his pocket.
"Not out here! Come on. We have to get inside. Leave the dough in your pocket until I say so, okay?"
"Sure, Hank."
Hank walked over to the rolling door and Wyatt followed. Hank banged on the metal. After a couple seconds the metal door rolled up rattling and squealing. Two men stood inside. Scary men, Wyatt thought. They looked at Hank and then him with eyes hidden by sunglasses even though it didn't look bright inside.
"That the buyer?" One of the men asked in a scratchy voice.
"Yeah," Hank answered. "Stan sent us."
The man that had spoken gestured for them to follow and headed into the building. Hank went after him and Wyatt hurried to keep up with Hank. He didn't like these men but Hank was his friend. The other man stayed behind and lowered the door with a crashing bang behind them. It made Wyatt jump. The place was a big warehouse, Wyatt realized. He had worked in warehouses before, mostly sweeping. Usually warehouses had lots of boxes. This place had boxes but the center of the warehouse had some sort of building set up with walls made of plastic and bright lights inside. It made the whole thing glow with pretty blue light. Through the plastic Wyatt saw blurry people walking around doing things with machinery. One of the people reached into something and pulled out a small shape that kicked and wiggled. Even from here Wyatt could see that it had to be a babezee. He hadn't pictured the clinic would look like this but it didn't matter. There were babezees!
They stopped at a doorway in the plastic wall. The man that had met them at the door told them to wait and disappeared inside.
"I'm going to get a babezee now?" Wyatt asked.
"Sure, sure you are." Hank put an arm around Wyatt's shoulders. "Only the thing is, these are made by a different company than the one in your catalog so they don't call them babezees. Companies get picky about those things, you know. Trademarks and all that shit. A friend of mine, Stan, put me onto this place. They're doing some amazing shit here. Better than those babezees in the catalog."
Wyatt struggled to understand all of that. "They aren't babezees?"
"It's the same thing," Hank insisted. "Better even. These little fuckers are cool. Stan showed me a video. Trust me, you'll be impressed."
He didn't have time to figure out what Hank meant before the man came back.
"Come on."
Hank nudged him to go first so Wyatt followed the man into the plastic building. It was like a maze inside. Wyatt followed the man through the narrow corridors. They walked past rooms with plastic walls but he couldn't ever see clearly what was inside. Towards the center of the plastic building the hallway just ended in a big room. The man stopped and gestured at a man and woman in long white coats. Wyatt walked into the room with wide eyes. He ignored the people. The room was filled with small plastic beds and in each bed a babezee squirmed beneath blue and pink blankets. There had to be dozens of them. He could hear soft noises they made like giggles done in a whisper. He wanted to grab them all and give each and every one of them a big hug.
The woman stepped in front of him, blocking his view, which made him look at her instead. He'd rather look at the babezees. She had blond hair piled up on her head and bright scarlet lips. He thought she looked hungry.
"I'm Doctor Penniwell." She stuck out her hand.
Reluctantly Wyatt took her hand and gave it a quick squeeze before letting go. She smelled like old apples, he thought. "My name is Wyatt."
The other doctor offered his hand. "Doctor Burton. You've made a good choice coming here, Wyatt."
Wyatt liked Doctor Burton a little better than Doctor Penniwell. He looked like he laughed a lot. Wyatt tried to see past the doctors. He wanted to see the babezees. "Can I see them?"
Doctor Burton put his hand on Wyatt's elbow and guided him past Doctor Penniwell. "That's why you're here, isn't it? These are the cutting edge. No one has pseudo-infants like these. Because we're just starting out you have a chance to get in on the ground floor. We want to build word of mouth. Affordable pseudo-infants for the masses. We call them babimals."
"That's right, Wyatt. Take a look."
Wyatt hurried over to the nearest plastic bed. He looked in and yellow eyes with a dark slit-pupil looked up at him with wonder. A tiny red mouth parted in a smile. The babimal gurgled happily and a forked tongue flicked out, tasting the air with several fast licks. Wyatt recoiled and bumped into Doctor Burton.
"That's not a babezee!"
"No, Wyatt." Doctor Burton walked around him and lifted the squirming thing from the bed. Tiny legs and arms kicked happily and it laughed. Doctor Burton cradled it in his arms. "I told you. This is a babimal, from our reptile line. Why don't you try holding it?"
The babimal was cute, Wyatt thought reluctantly. He was afraid he might drop it as Doctor Burton handed him the squirming bundle. As soon as he took the babimal it snuggled up affectionately. It didn't have any hair. There were fine scales on its head that sparkled green in the bright lights. Wyatt held the babimal in one arm and ran his hand across the babimal's head. It felt soft and dry to the touch. The forked tongue flicked out again and tickled his neck.
Hank had come over and he peeked at the babimal's face. "Cool, man. He has snake eyes and everything. Does it bite?"
Wyatt almost dropped the babimal. Doctor Burton quickly took it when he held it out. Doctor Burton didn't look happy with Hank.
"No. It doesn't bite. All of our babimals are perfectly safe. Unlike our competitor we don't hide the origins of the babimals. They've taken a species with 98% the same DNA as humans and have altered it to make them even closer to humans while preventing growth and development. By all rights they should be brought up on ethical charges when you consider that their product is essentially human. With our babimals we've added the characteristics that we find so appealing in infants but our pseudo-infants are still clearly not human."
Wyatt didn't understand everything the doctor was saying but he didn't like that babimal. He felt bad for it but the scales and tongue made him feel all icky inside. He tugged on Hank's sleeve. "I don't want that."
Hank pulled away. "Sure, why don't you look around? They have other types."
Doctor Penniwell gestured at the beds. "Maybe one of the canine varieties would be more to your liking?"
Wyatt felt tears pricking at his eyes. He didn't like this. He thought about the babezees. That's what he had wanted. The babimal Doctor Burton held flicked its tongue again and Wyatt backed away. He wanted to go home. Go home and wrap his afghan around his shoulders and eat ice cream.
"Let's look," Hank said. "I went to all this fucking effort to do something for you and bring you down here, didn't I?"
"Yes," Wyatt said miserably. He could tell Hank wasn't happy.
"Great, then let's look."
Wyatt didn't know what else to do so he followed Hank away from the doctors. On each side there were babimals in the plastic beds. At first they looked a lot like that first one but then they changed. The next group had fine hair covering their plump faces and long floppy ears. Hank reached down to pick one up and it jumped right up into his arms. Wyatt took a nervous step back. It had jumped! It snuggled up to Hank and then turned its head to look at him. The babimal had pink eyes, floppy ears and the little button nose twitched and wiggled. Wyatt laughed. It looked like a bunny, he realized.
"You like that?" Hank asked.
The bunny babimal kicked its legs and Hank had to struggle to hold onto it. He laughed and put it gently back down into the plastic bed. "Wow, it has strong legs. How about that one?"
The idea of it jumping made Wyatt nervous. "I don't know."
Hank rubbed his eyes. "Fine, Mr. Picky. Let's look some more."
All the babimals were cute, Wyatt thought. They did remind him of the babezees but they also made him nervous. There was a doggie babimal with big eyes and dark hair on its head but it had a tongue that hung out of its mouth when it panted and a tail that wagged very fast. The kitty babimal was covered in fine fur and purred when Hank made him pet it but it didn't laugh or giggle. Plus it had sharp fingernails. He could already see how it had torn up the blankets in the bed. At least the doctors didn't follow them around. The more Wyatt saw the more he kept thinking about babezees. Hank started to get angry.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? All you have to do is pick one out, we pay and you get to go home with it. No screenings, no tests, no waiting. These are cool. Didn't you see that one that looked like a living teddy bear? Jeezus, my girls would kill for something like that."
Wyatt hung his head and tried hard not to cry. He didn't want Hank to be mad but he didn't like the babimals. They all looked weird even if they were cute.
"Come on," Hank snapped. "We haven't seen these over here."
Wyatt followed because he didn't know what else to do. He couldn't run away because that would make Hank more mad and he didn't know if he could find a way out of the plastic building. The doctors hadn't followed them but they were standing across the room watching.
"Holy shit," Hank shouted. "Wyatt, you've got to see this."
Wyatt looked up. Hank was holding a baby angel.
It took his breath away. Pink arms waved above the blanket but behind the arms white wings beat rapidly. A spray of soft white feathers covered her head and framed the smiling face. Her eyes were cloudy gray. She was beautiful. Wyatt reached out to take her from Hank. The angel came to him with a little giggle that made Wyatt laugh, she sounded so happy. As soon as he took her the wings settled down brushed gently against his hands. He held her close and the tiny arms went around his neck. Wyatt inhaled and she smelled of summer breezes. She cooed softly. He thought for a second of the babezees and found that they couldn't compare in his mind. He remembered Hank's baby, the one he called his angel, all red-faced and screaming. His angel was perfect.
Hank laughed. "Yeah, I guess that's the one?"
He felt Hank take his arm and followed blindly, trusting Hank to lead him out but he only had eyes for his angel.
"You've made an excellent choice, Wyatt," Doctor Burton said. "The Cherub is our most advanced babimal yet. Very complicated to make. Unfortunately that also means it is also the most expensive."
"I have money." Wyatt carefully held his angel with one arm while he pulled out the bundles of cash and handed them to Hank. He stroked his angel's wings and smiled.
Hank split one of the bundles and put half in his pocket. He gave the rest to Doctor Burton who handed it to Doctor Penniwell. "Thanks, doc."
Wyatt looked at the three of them smiling and then at the pocket where Hank had put the cash. Hank noticed him looking and scowled.
"My finder's fee," he snapped. "Let's get out of here."
Doctor Penniwell held out a thin magazine with pictures of more angels on the cover. "This has all of the information you need to care for the cherub."
Hank grabbed the magazine but the doctor didn't let go. Her expression hardened. "You realize, of course, that we do not offer refunds. Your friend's purchase is final. And any estimate of the lifespan of the babimal is simply that, an estimate. Until we see several more generations we can't be sure how long they will live. And, just in case you have any ideas, all babimals sold are born sterile and can't be bred. Any reverse engineering or cloning is strictly prohibited."
Hank snatched the magazine away. "Yeah, right. Thanks doc. Come on Wyatt."
It was all confusing but he wanted to see the magazine and he had his angel so he followed Hank. Somehow Hank seemed to know how to get out of the plastic building because he made his way through the corridors without having to ask for directions. Hank was good at that sort of thing. They left the plastic building and entered the warehouse. It was colder so Wyatt made sure his angel was covered with the blanket. They went to the rolling metal door and one of the men there lifted it up. His angel clung to him tighter as it rattled and clanked. Wyatt stroked her head and followed Hank out to the car.
Wyatt was surprised when Hank said they were home. He managed to look away from Angel's beautiful gray eyes and saw his apartment building outside. Wyatt tickled Angel's belly with one finger. Her face scrunched up and she giggled happily while her little wings fluttered.
"We're home," Wyatt whispered.
Hank shoved the magazine at Wyatt. "Get the fuck out already before you make me sick."
Wyatt didn't know why Hank was angry but he was too happy to worry about it. "Thank you Hank."
"Come on, man. Wanda's gonna be pissed I've taken this long already. Get out."
Wyatt picked up Angel, the magazine and got out of the truck. Hank took off as soon as the door closed. Wyatt turned and pointed up the stairs. "That's home, up there. Come on."
He'd just started up the stairs when he heard a shout behind him. Wyatt stopped and looked back. Uh oh, Mr. Travis the landlord was coming across the parking lot waving his hand. Mr. Travis wore a black suit which hung loose on his tall frame. Wyatt waited with Angel.
"Wyatt, what've you got there? Is that a baby?"
"No, Mr. Travis."
Mr. Travis tugged on his suit jacket. "Looks like a baby to me."
Just then Angel slipped her wings out from under the blanket and flapped them a couple times. Mr. Travis took a step back.
"What is it?"
Wyatt beamed and turned Angel around so Mr. Travis could see her. She cooed and flapped her wings. "This is Angel."
"That's a cherub!"
He remembered the doctor using that word back at the warehouse. "That's right. The doctor said she was."
Mr. Travis crossed himself and took another step back. He pointed at Angel. "That is a blasphemy! I won't tolerate this. Bad enough I've had to put up with you but this is it. You're going to have to move out."
Wyatt held Angel close and marveled at how light she was in her arms. He didn't understand Mr. Travis. He stroked the soft feathers covering her head. Move out? He couldn't move out. He lived here. If he moved out where would he go? He kissed the top of Angel's head, hot against his lips even through feathers smelling of sunshine and dandelion puffs. Her tiny arms reached around his neck and then her wings stretched out and fanned gently in the breeze. When at last he looked up Mr. Travis was halfway across the parking lot, chasing his shadow.
Maybe Mr. Travis hadn't meant it, Wyatt decided. He took Angel upstairs to his home.
The next day at work he showed the magazine to Jilly. "I need help, Jilly."
"Ooh, now I like these. What cuties! Much better than those fucking monkeys." Jilly flipped through the magazine then tossed it back towards him onto the counter. "But you'd better forget it. Save your money for something that you actually need."
Wyatt picked up the magazine and held it out to her again. "Please Jilly. I need to know how to feed my Angel. She isn't eating anything."
"Wait a minute. What the fuck are you talking about? Your angel?"
"Hank helped me find her," Wyatt said. "We were going to go to the clinic but then we went to the warehouse and that's where I found my angel. But she isn't eating. Please help me."
Jilly took the magazine. "Hank helped you, did he?"
"Yes, Hank's my friend."
"That piece of shit isn't your friend," Jilly said. "I'll look at the magazine. Go do your job. After work I'll take you home and we'll see about this Angel of yours."
"Thank you!" Wyatt wanted to hug Jilly but she was behind the counter.
"Get out my sight," Jilly said.
Hank took off with his tires squealing. Jilly waved the magazine at him. "Yeah, get out of here, you piece of shit!"
Wyatt tried hard not to cry. Hank had been angry all day at work. Whenever Wyatt tried to ask Hank about Angel Hank had told Wyatt to shut the fuck up and push the cart. Jilly touched his arm. "Don't worry about him, Wyatt. Come on. I've got my rust-bucket over here."
Wyatt held the magazine on the way. Jilly's car smelled like strawberries too. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. "See, you need to get baby food. That's the thing. It says there that she can't eat solid food so you have to get baby food."
"And plenty of water. She has to eat every few hours, Wyatt. You just left her at home?"
Wyatt moaned and clenched the magazine. "I didn't know!"
"Hey! Cut that out. Look, we'll get the food and go to your place. It's only been a day, right? Don't worry."
At the grocery store Wyatt gave his checkbook to Jilly. She looked at it and her eyes got wide. "What happened to all your money?"
"Hank said to get cash. For my Angel."
Wyatt stepped back. The grocery store clerk was staring at them both. Jilly shook her head and handed him back the checkbook. "I wasn't talking about you Wyatt. Hank is the asshole. He cleaned you out, you understand? I'll buy the food. It'll get you through until pay day."
Jilly used a card in the machine to pay for the food. That looked easy, Wyatt thought. Easier than writing a check. Jilly didn't want to show him the card. They left the store and she drove fast on the way home. Faster even than Hank drove. It was scary but Wyatt didn't mind. He wanted to get home to Angel.
At the apartment Mr. Travis was putting a piece of paper on his door. Jilly grabbed his arm and tore the paper off the door. "What the hell is this? An eviction notice? You can't do that!"
Mr. Travis pulled away and ran a hand down his sleeve. "I can too. No pets and no children. It says so right in the lease. I don't know which that abomination is but it's one or the other, or maybe both. Either way he is out of here in twenty days."
Mr. Travis hurried off down the stairs. Jilly handed Wyatt the paper. "What a shit hole. I'll bet you've never been late on the rent once, right?"
"I pay my rent," Wyatt said.
Jilly gestured at the door. "Come on. Let's get inside."
Wyatt unlocked the door while Jilly held the groceries and they went inside. Jilly rubbed her arms. "It's freezing in here, Wyatt. Don't you have heat?"
"I turn it off when I leave." Wyatt turned on the light in the living room. "Angel? I'm home."
He didn't hear any answering laugh from her cardboard box. Jilly set down the groceries. She was looking at the box. "Did you leave her in there?"
"I built a nest for her," Wyatt said.
"Ah, shit, Wyatt. You're supposed to keep the place warm."
"I didn't know. I'm sorry."
Jilly rubbed her mouth. "Fuck it."
She crossed the room to the box and looked inside. It was a big box. He'd taken the top off and piled pillows inside with her blanket and his teddy bear. Wyatt followed her and looked inside. Angel lay at the bottom on her side, wrapped around the bear with the blanket across her legs. Her wing was stretched out along her body.
"Oh Wyatt," Jilly said. "She's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen anything so wonderful."
Wyatt reached down and slid his hands beneath her small body. She felt cool to the touch and when he lifted her she felt as limp as his teddy bear. He felt scared all of a sudden and it was hard to breath.
"Ah fuck, Wyatt," Jilly said.
Wyatt hugged Angel to his chest and felt tears stinging his eyes. Angel stirred and her soft face pressed against his neck. Her wings fluttered.
Jilly laughed. "She isn't dead! Come on, Wyatt! Let's get this place warmed up and get some food in her."
Wyatt held Angel while Jilly turned on the heaters and got the baby food out. They tried the banana food first and Angel liked it. Her dainty mouth took tiny little bits of the banana. As the apartment warmed she moved more and chirped happily with each bit of the food. In no time at all she'd eaten all of the banana in the little jar. She lay in his arms and cooed at him. He tickled her tummy and she laughed. Wyatt looked up from Angel and saw Jilly watching. He almost didn't recognize her with a smile on her face. He lifted Angel towards her.
"Do you want to hold her, Jilly?"
Jilly laughed. "Okay. Sure, Wyatt."
She took Angel and rocked her gently. She laughed when Angel fanned her wings. Jilly looked up at Wyatt and then he saw her look at the paper Mr. Travis had left on the door.
"You're going to need a place to live," Jilly said. "So maybe it'd be okay if you stayed with me."
"With you?"
Jilly stroked Angel's feathers. "Well, it makes sense. I can help with the little one. Heck, I could keep her with me while you're out cleaning. She has to be fed every few hours. It'll be easier with two people looking after her. What do you say?"
Wyatt got up and came over to Jilly. He hugged her. "Yes! Thank you Jilly!"
She shrugged. "Heck, it'll be nice to have someone else around I guess. We'll figure things out, for all of us. Whatever else those bastards are doing they've created a miracle here with this little one."
Angel looked at both of them and giggled happily. Wyatt ran a finger over her feathers. His angel and his friend Jilly. He couldn't remember being happier.
Author's Note
This story is the 66th weekly short story release, written way back in July 2007. Eventually I'll do a new standalone e-book and print release when I am satisfied that I can create the cover art that I want for the stories. In the meantime I'm enjoying these weekly releases. Stories will remain until I get up the new e-book and print versions and at that point I'll take the story down.
If you're interested in longer works, feel free to check out my novels through the links in the sidebar or on the Books page. Check back next Monday for another story. Next up is my story Space Lot.

GOLD BEACH, Ore. - Curry County residents overwhelming voted Tuesday to recall Sheriff Mark Metcalf.
andquot;The people have spoken,andquot; all three Curry County commissioners said to start separate telephone interviews from their homes.
andquot;I guess they wanted him out of office,andquot; Commissioner Georgia Nowlin said. andquot;We'll go forward with appointing a sheriff. One way or another, it will have to be addressed.andquot;
Early returns showed voters saying 65-35 percent they wanted a new sheriff.
andquot;We won it,andquot; said David Darnell, who headed up the signature gathering drive in both recall attempts. andquot;I know the sheriff's department is really happy. It's all over town. They're really happy it turned out this way.andquot;
Sandy Ensley of Brookings, described as one of the hardest workers in gathering signatures for the recall petition, said she spent a lot of time gathering those signatures.
Ensley said she hoped the county commission appoints someone outside the department as sheriff.

Entourage Edge Review, pt 1
Two common complaints with netbooks are that the screen and keyboard are too small. This doesn't apply to the Edge, and the reason why is rather interesting: The Edge is used differently than a netbook.
A netbook is used with the screen in landscape, and you input data on the keyboard and see that data on the screen. Since you don't actually manipulate the data on the screen, there is a disconnect between what you type and what you see. I didn't really notice this until I started using the Edge.
On the other hand, when I use the Edge, it is usually propped in a position similar to that of a textbook. It might be half in my lap and propped on a table, or it might be on a table and propped up by my backpack. (BTW, I normally don't lay it flat; it just didn't seem to work.*)
So what was my point about the disconnect? It has to do with the editing process. The best way to edit a piece of writing is to print it out and go over it with a pen. (Ask any writer over 30.) Marking the paper directly is a different mental process than typing on the screen. I've known this for some time, but I didn't really understand it until I got the Edge. On the Edge, you directly manipulate the data on the screen.
I think that the experience of using the Edge has more in common with a book or ereader than a netbook, and this is where the Edge excels. I also feel that the Edge was inside my personal space and that a netbook is at arm's length.
Unfortunately, the Edge falls short when it comes to creating work instead of adding or editing it. The onscreen keyboard is barely usable. It works, but I'd much prefer a physical keyboard. In fact, I highly recommend that you get a compact keyboard to carry with the Edge. This would help fix the one way that a netbook is better than the Edge.
So there you have it. For some people, and for some purposes, the Edge is a serious alternative to a netbook. But could it replace the netbook? I don't know.
*I didn't like to lay it flat because it forced me to physically shift my body whenever I needed to switch screens. When the Edge was propped like a book, all I needed to do was turn my head. At least, that's what it feels like to me.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Big XII Conference' started by CrossCyed, Oct 24, 2011.
Thought this was important enough to have a side thread....
The Big 12.
If it happens...
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHZ_3FIiF2E&feature=related]Iowa vs. Iowa State Game - YouTube[/ame]
We need a B12-Texas network. It doesn't even have to include OU. It doesn't have to make much money (and won't because of the few TV sets in the midwest). But the perception and exposure of a network in today's age is getting critical.
Report from Big 12 Board of Directors Meeting - Big 12 Conference - Official Athletic Site
A Big 12 Network would be stellar.
Believe it when I see it. They talked about it 2007 too and here we are, in the middle of **** creek with 3 schools gone and a 4th ready to jump.
The question is, how did those discussions go? Enough support for it, or one or two members bringing it up and it then getting shot down. Hoping because it was mentioned it means it has a chance of happening.
Let's see who has networks
B10- check
Pac12- check
SEC - once expansion is done, check
Big East if they survive - currently in discussions
Totally agree.
However, why put that tidbit out there for the public if you didn't think it was likely you'd do it???
Riddle me that.
Do whatever it takes! Get a network NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
And I think the Big 12 has seen the repercussions of not doing it in 2007. 3 schools have left and a 4th is teetering on the edge. More reason to do it now to build stability and make the big schools want to stay.
To help put a positive spin on a situation which has generated nothing but negative publicity. "See? We are all trying to get along! Big12 luvs cooperation! Yeeeaaahhh!!! Shinny things!!!"
This could be a very real reason why BYU negotiations hit a snag.
Mountain West has a network as well. Not a big money maker compared to the Big 10, but the simple fact they were able to do so means the major conferences should be doing it as well.
Serious question. What are you expecting to see on this network? I think people picture the Big 10 network and I don't think that is what it would be.
all ten and TCU????????? A&M participated
Thing is, it COULD have been a cash cow. Except a lot of the best programming (UT and OU games) is already tied up (or being tied up) in Longhorn and Sooner networks.
We all should have listened to Kevin Weiberg when we had the chance...
The ACC does as well, as I've seen commercials that is shown on 13.3 in Des Moines
There are Networks and then there are "networks." For instance the SEC and Big 12 (and I'm guessing the ACC model right now too) have a network that runs from 11-2:30 on Saturdays. It's called ESPN owns the programming, needs to put it on a local channel, and calls it a "network."
Then there are Networks like the Big 10 network that runs 24/7 on cable as it's own channel. This is what the SEC is going to be starting along with the PAC.
There is a big difference, called cable subscription fees and advertising dollars from the 24/7 network.

If you are thinking about having plastic surgery, there are several things to consider before you go under the actual procedure.
Whether you are getting an abdominoplasty, large volume liposuction Atlanta, a breast augmentation, renovation or another procedure, you need to take into account what will happen before and after the surgery.
The decision for having the breast augmentation is the crucial step for the what is going for. Breast implants in Sydney offer the surgical excellence including implants in Sydney.
Choosing to have any medical procedure done is a major decision, and it is not unusual to have doubts. Produce sure that you discuss your questions, problems or concerns with your cosmetic surgeon prior to the big day.
This may also be beneficial that you can consult with other those who have had similar aesthetic procedures done. Your cosmetic surgeon may be able to refer you to anyone who has had similar issues regarding their surgery.
Before operating the liposuction in Melbourne you must need to know how to start the operation and what are the methods you are using because you won't put someone's life at risk.
Your surgeon will discuss specific preparation with you as well as answer any last minute questions you may have. The professional doctor will try to solve your worries related to the surgery and make you feel comfortable.
There are so many things which you must know from your doctor before going to have any surgery. Think twice and make sure that the surgery you want will give you the best result that you want.

Four-star Pennsylvania cornerback Cullen Christian is scheduled to hold a press conference announcing his college destination on Tuesday. For now he's enjoying his last official visit.
The 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back from Pittsburgh (Pa.) Penn Hills, currently ranked the No. 6 corner in the nation by Rivals.com, is still at Michigan on his official visit. Judging by his comments in this interview with Rivals.com, the Wolverines are helping their cause.
"I'm still up here now," Christian said on Sunday night. "When I first got here we went to the game, then we went out to eat afterward. Then we went over to coach Rich Rodriguez's house and we were over there for a little bit talking to the coaches. There were a lot of recruits there. It was really just us talking to them and chilling there. Then we went out with some of the hosts and stuff like that.
Article Continues Below
"Today we went out to eat for lunch. I wanted to talk to some of the coaches, and we were in the weight room talking to the coaches. I was talking one-on-one with my position coach and we watched some of my film. After that we went back to the hotel and took a nap, and then we went out to eat again."
Christian plans on heading back to Pennsylvania on Monday morning. His short time in Michigan has been memorable, and has made his decision even more difficult than it already was.
"I like this trip the most," he said. "Either this or UCLA. I just had a good time because it's a different kind of people up here. It seems like the fans are extra into it. Out here the football team is the biggest thing in this town. Everybody knows about the football team. The fans are probably like with them before they even mess with the Lions or the Pistons. That's what I think.
"Their fans are more into it. I was walking down the street and people knew who I was. They were asking me for autographs. I enjoyed the fans. The game had like 110 or 112,000 fans. Where else are you gonna go like that every week?
"Also, it's real diverse up here. It's a whole bunch of different people."
Despite having a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, Christian said he has not made his decision yet.

Phytoplankton Ecology Research Lab (PERL)
Our research focuses on physiological responses of phytoplankton to fluctuations in environmental factors like light, nutrients, and temperature and how, ultimately, variations in small-scale processes translate into larger scale effects on ecosystems. We are specifically interested in phytoplankton growth rates, including the underlying processes of photosynthesis and nutrient uptake and incorporation. We examine how changes in growth rate may result in changes in phytoplankton community composition, including the development of phytoplankton blooms (including harmful algal blooms) and how these influence aquatic food webs. For our research, we use a variety of tools, including algal cultures, small volume microcosms, field studies and numerical modeling.

For sec I thought I should call you god. But I think praying god to give you long life and everything you want in life is more appropriate :-) you are simply awesome buddy!!
I was working on a script that will let me know the order in which I can insert data in to the tables , so that they do not encounter the referential integrity problem. But I have a table that has got both the primary key and foreign key on the same column and as a result my script show the order of insertion for this table to be 3 , where as when I check it with the help of view dependencies in the management studio its order is 4. any suggestion are appreciated.\

i want to write a function in SQL. i will pass table name and value of the pk. on basis of these two parameter i would like to get the name of the table(s) that contains the specified PK as FK.
i am trying to write a function in MS SQL which i will pass table_name and PK value and the function will return me the table(s) where that specified PK of the table is used.
like we have two tables;
item purchase
itemID (PK) itemID (FK)
100 100
the function will return table name purchase if the (itemID=100) is used in it
You are absolutely the best SQL server authority.
Shall we use this Query?
select [name] from SYS.TABLES where [name] not in (
select distinct(TABLE_NAME) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS)
The above query will return all the heap tables.
Thanks & regards,
SELECT IT.TABLE_NAME ,ITC.CONSTRAINT_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES it join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS itc ON IT.TABLE_NAME=ITC.TABLE_NAME
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(IT.TABLE_NAME),'TableHasPrimaryKey')=1 AND TABLE_TYPE='BASE TABLE' and itc.CONSTRAINT_TYPE='primary key'
Thank you all for the useful info, but I have a concern:
can we get the list of primary key columns in 1 row. for example if we have a composite primary key consists of 4 columns, the above query will retrive all 4 of them in 4 rows,
question: could it be in 1 row.
Thanks for the post.
It is easy to find the primary keys columns in all tables in a database.
Dear Sir,
I have Primary key Name and suppose i don't know table name.
How can i Get Table Name or Table Information from Unique or Primary Key ?
Dear Sir ,
I got the result of Tables With Primary Key Constraint in Database as below
select OBJECT_NAME(OBJECT_ID) from sys.indexes where is_primary_key = 1
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Query looks correct. Are you not getting expected results?
Hi Sir,
I know one table name in that I have one field, This same field exists in several tables. So now I want to get the table name where this field name is declared as PRIMARY KEY ????

Last week I wrote about the ClickOnce feature in Visual Studio 2005. Some readers asked me to elaborate on how ClickOnce relates to Microsoft Installer (MSI) and other setup applications. We also received feedback on the same topic in the MSDN Product Feedback center.
ClickOnce is not intended to replace Microsoft Installer (MSI). There are several classes of applications where ClickOnce would be inappropriate. If you need to install machine wide shared components, register drivers, etc, you are better off using MSI. Visual Studio 2005 includes a base level MSI package generator (the setup & deployment projects in Visual Studio 2005) -- great for small and medium line of business applications. For large MSI projects, or to take advantage of advanced MSI features such as patching, our partners have many fine tools to choose from.
ClickOnce requires that the .NET Framework 2.0 is installed on the client machine. Once the Framework is installed, you can run your apps by simply clicking a link to the application. The .NET Framework 2.0 will have many distribution channels & as time goes on it will become increasingly likely that a client already has the .Net Framework 2.0 installed. The .NET Framework 2.0 will also be delivered as part of our Longhorn release of Windows. This will go a long way in addressing the Framework distribution issue.

Using WinSCP I can not see all the directories on the remote Linux box, but I can see them all while logged in from the same user (not root) when I list them via PuTTY. Is there a way for me to see them all too in WinSCP? I'm using version 4.1.8.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't realize that in WinSCP if I click near "Name" it sorts on the name and if I click near "Ext" it sorts on the extension. There's no vertical separator between "Name" and "Ext" so I assumed it was all one sorting option.
My other problem is that I was looking for a file, not a directory.
In WinSCP I was unknowingly sorting on extension, but I was comparing to a command line listing that sorts by name. I did not scroll down far enough in WinSCP in order to find the 'missing' item.

A lot of people who take out home insurance policies learn the hard way; they only realize that they do not have adequate or right coverage when emergency strikes.
For example, most homeowners do not know that flood isn't something that is commonly included in a comprehensive home insurance policy. Thus, when they are affected with flood, they find themselves paying for the damage.
Scenarios like this can be avoided by simply doing the following:
1. Never assume that "comprehensive insurance" automatically means coverage for every single bad thing that can happen to your home. Before you sign anything, carefully read the policy first.
Take time to understand what it covers. Also, don't be shy to ask questions. A good broker or insurance company should welcome any question that you might have.
2. Do not pay without understanding what exactly you're paying for. Review the bill before you hand over your credit card or your hard-earned money. Determine if the coverage suits your specific needs.
Remember, you don't need to pay for something that you don't really need.
3. Keep all the documents needed in case you need to make a claim. Make it easier for insurance company to process your claim by presenting them with complete information and paper works.

Skip to comments.Killing for Organs: Taking Neurologically Devastated Patients' Kidneys Before Death
Posted on 04/10/2010 12:47:46 PM PDT by wagglebee
As I have repeatedly reported here and elsewhere, some bioethicists and others in the transplant community seek permission to harvest patients organs before they are dead. The latest example is in the Winter 2010 edition of Lahey Clinical Journal of Medical Ethics, in which Brown University transplant surgeon, Dr. Paul Morrissey, argues that to obtain more usable kidneys, organs should be taken from neurologically devastated patients without first withdrawing life support and waiting for death by cardiac arrest. From the article Kidney Donation From Brain-Injured Patients Before a Declaration of Death:
My proposed model uncouples organ donation from the donors death. The process begins as before with they identification of an individual with good renal function and with severe, irreversible brain injury with no hope for purposeful or prolonged existence. The family decides to withdraw care with the expectation of the patients imminent death. A DNR order is written. With the consent of the donor family, the patient is transported to the operating room for kidney recovery. Both kidneys are recovered in a controlled surgical procedure with vascular control, equivalent to bilateral nephrectomy in a neurologically intact patient. General anesthesia and standard analgesic care are administered, as would be given to a trauma victim with severe head injury undergoing surgery. The patient returns to the intensive care unit and end-of-life care is instituted, in a more relaxed time period without the requisite rush to the operating room following asystole. This protocol enables the family to grieve and spend time with the decedent after death.
Currently, a donor must first be declared dead, either by neurological criteria (brain death)not the kind discussed hereor after removal of life support and cardiac arrest. This proposal would reverse the order, first take the kidneys, and then remove the life support, under the pretense of obeying the dead donor rule as the actual death could come after the kidneys were removed. But this sophistry: The patient couldnt possibly live without kidneys, and many would die during the surgery.
Morrissey says these patients will die if life support is removed anyway. Indeed, he claims:
With what certainty do we know that cardiopulmonary death will ensue following the withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy? To date, no patient entered into consideration for DCD has been reported to have prolonged cardiac function or entered a persistent vegetative state. Cases of prolonged cardiac function after extubation beyond even 24 hours are exceedingly rare.
So in essence, whats the harm? Theres plenty: Consent or no consent, there is harm in treating a patient like an objectboth to the specific individual and society. Besides, plenty of patients considered for the heart death protocol didnt become donors precisely because they didnt die within an hour as expected. Moreover, according to a study published last year in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, as reported here:
There is a misconception that withdrawal of ventilatory and hemodynamic support will result in immediate or imminent death in the ICU. A survey of withdrawal of mechanical ventilation in the critically ill adults at 15 ICUs found that 21 of 166 patients (13%) survived to ICU discharge after withdrawal of life support.
Dr. Morrissey might respond by differentiating his proposal from the patients in this study, since he would select only the most imminently dying from devastating head injuries. Perhaps, but as this blog has abundantly demonstrated, standards slip. Besides, it is certainly conceivable that at least some patients whose kidneys were removed could possibly have otherwise survived withdrawal of mechanical ventilation.
Dr. Morrisseys proposal would indeed, be killing for organs, even if the heart stopped after removing the organs. Moreover, once we walked through that door, the practice would only expand as a matter of simple logic. To maintain the peoples trust in transplant medicine and to prevent human beings from being used as mere harvestable resource, such proposals should be rejected at every turn.

With apologies to Gene Wilder and the cast: "Is it fresh?" "It is very fresh, Master."
So much for the hippocratic oath.
The problem is when they stop asking for permission.
If they paid even a modest sum they would have more organs than they could handle.
What we have now is them saving money by letting people on waiting lists die.
welcome to the future of all healthcare.
Liberal Brown University says that if someone's brain has been disconnected from their nervous system it is a-okay to harvest their parts for the good of society. Let the harvesting of progressive democrats commence!
Dr. Mengele I presume? History....history...history....God save the Republic.
It is reprehensible stories like this that have made me adamantly AGAINST donating my organs or those of my family members. No only had those wretched transplant ghouls best not even ask me to donate a family member's organs but they had best not even look like they are walking in my direction. It would take SEVERAL members of the hospital's security staff to pull me off those damned grave robbers. Vile, disgusting creatures all.
This produces a visceral hatred of the subject of donation that I cannot intellectual explain. I do NOT trust the medical staff of hospitals that would view me and mine not as patients, but as 'potential' donors.
...with no hope for purposeful or prolonged existence.
Notice the use of the word "or" instead of "and". Not that I would agree if he had used "and", but it does reveal a certain mindset.
Exactly! Organ transplantation is one of the greatest advances in medical history, but the disrespect that many in the medical community show toward the living is ruining it.
And what the hell does "purposeful" even mean? I can list hundreds of politicians whose continued purpose is entirely detrimental.
Eventually, if the organ takers get too greedy, I can imagine a prophylaxis. A one time injection of a weakened pathogen that will insure that organs will never be used.
What the optimum "false positive" would be is uncertain, but once in your system, it would make normal, healthy organs seem to be unacceptable. Then, along with your identification, make sure that it is clearly marked, not that you don't *want* to be an organ donor, but that you *cannot* be an organ donor. Under *any* circumstances.
It is a simple case of persuasion. Doctors are very capable of disregarding your desires and opinions vs. what they want. But they are far less able to ignore or disregard objective warnings known to medicine.
He should make this clear by simply stating this would only apply to the brain dead.
I'm very much in favor of organ transplantation but I'll never be a donor until they allow the sale of organs so my family would get something out of it when i'm done.
One problem now is of whom they ask permission. I have observed the very real situation of permission for donation after cardiac death, the withdrawal of life support in preparation for organ donation, being granted by children. Frequently there is a large inheritance at stake. The entire transplant industry stinks to the core.
Organ harvesters do more stripping than poll dancers. People, wake up. The procedure is heinous. The brain has to be alive for the heart to beat. Heinous, heinous, heinous.

This document sets out to make it easier for store builders to set up WP e-Commerce while adhering to industry rules and online shopping best practices. We've made this comprehensive list of store questions based on our own experiences and those of satisfied WP e-Commerce users.
Tip: This document is best printed out and each question answered in detail, once completed this will outline exactly what you need to do to effectively configure your WP e-Commerce store.
There are a few things to keep in mind as you get started with WP e-Commerce, below we're organised a list of common questions followed by sets of questions grouped into common store sections:
- Do your Products require physical shipping?
- If so, jump over to the Shipping section below
- If not, visit the Online Delivery section below if you are planning to sell electronic items
- Will you be accepting online payments
- If so, jump over to the Online Payments section below
- If not, visit the Manual Payments section below if you are planning to manually process Sales

There is no restriction on the file-type of the Product download, though we recommend compressing your files prior to uploading to your WP e-Commerce store to minimise upload/download times.
You may need your web host to increase your allowed upload size to enable large file uploads, this typically happens for Product downloads larger than 8MB but differs with different web hosts.
Physical Shipping
WP e-Commerce supports a library of shipping methods with live feedback as well as shipping rules and options you can tailor to your needs.
'Live feedback' means accurate shipping charges are passed to the customer at Checkout by providing delivery address and ZIP Code (postcode) to supported shipping providers.
Review the following shipping questions.
How are shipping fees calculated?
WP e-Commerce lets you choose between flat rate, table rate and weight rate shipping calculation.
If you are planning to use the weight rate method, ensure you've weighed your products ahead of time so you can enter them while setting up your Products.

If you are operating within the United States you should check out this article for a simple explanation about e-commerce and sales tax as well as review list of sales tax by state.
Are you in a country that requires tax inclusive pricing?
Review Tax rates around the world.
Do you want to tax shipping?
Some states and countries actually require businesses to tax their shipping. If you are in the United States, you can check your states sales tax laws. If you are elsewhere, check your location to find out their particular tax laws.
Payment Gateway
How are you going to process payments?
Check out this article for a simple explanation of how payments work on an e-commerce site.
Do you already have a merchant account with a specific bank you want to keep using?
If so, you will need to see what payment gateway your bank prefers, then review whether or not it's compatible with WP e-Commerce.
If you don't already have a merchant account (or don't need to use your current one), there are plenty of non-bank-related companies who will process your payments and deposit them in your bank account. Some of the most popular (and easiest to use) are PayPal and Google Checkout.
While some payment gateways are free to use (such as PayPal Payments Standard and Google Checkout), others may require a setup or monthly activity fee. However, all payment gateways (even the free ones), charge some sort of transaction fee. Check out our list of accepted payment gateways, and then do some comparison shopping.
Also, check with your payment gateway for their specific e-commerce requirements. Most payment gateways require that you display your return policy, sales policy and shipping policy somewhere on your store.

Borastapeter Retro 5473
This wallpaper is a trip back to the 1950's with a clean and stripped surface that is a trademark of functional form. During the peak of modernism artists were rejected as immoral. The patterns seen on this wallpaper, with its strict lines and slick surfaces, were constantly at risk of being prohibited. Eventually all the backbiters had to step back and now, as we gaze back on the 20th century, we acknowledge modernism as the art form that dominated the entire century.

Want to reuse your old cotton t-shirts and don't know what to do with them? If you feel bad about throwing them out (and you should) you should re-purpose them into braided headbands! You can make these for yourself or give them as gifts to your friends and family, it's a super-cute idea and you'll have unique headbands to match all of your outfits.
What you will need:
- cotton t-shirt that you're willing to cut up or scraps of cotton fabric
- hair elastic (cut to open it up so it is an elastic strand)
- scissors
- needle
- thread
The size that you cut the strips from which you will make your headband should all be the same width in size (I suggest using about an inch in width from your t-shirt cotton material from the bottom of your tee) and cut 3 equal pieces. You should now have 3 round pieces from your t-shirt and you want to cut one side of them so that they double in length and open up from the circle shape into a line. Obviously the thinner the strips, the thinner your headband will be. It's best to start out a little thicker so you have room for error when you're sewing the ends together to close your headband.
Then tie a knot at one end of the strands to secure that side while you braid. Begin to braid with your 3 strands regularly and try to work in a tight braid as it gives a more orderly and beautiful appearance. Tie the other end down when you're done braiding. Measure the size you want the braided part to be, you must now cut one side and sew your hair elastic to the end of the braid. It helps to wrap some thread around the elastic after you have sewn to make it extra secure. Then use a small rectangular piece of the fabric to cover the sewing you just did (because it will not look flattering) and fold it in half so you have a thicker piece, you can either glue this onto the junction between your braid and elastic or you can sew it on (I prefer glue for a seamless finish). Repeat all of this at the other end so that you complete your headband! It's important that you use the elastic to finish off your headband because, unless you're using an elastic fabric for the entire headband, it won't be able to fit snugly against your head and will either fall right off or be too loose. Make sure to measure it to your head before you sew the final side together.
There are many variations of this that you can do, you can consider double or triple braided headbands, you can use various kinds of fabric and mix colors, or you can add rhinestones and jewelry onto your headband when you're done! Just keep in mind that if you want to do double or triple braids, you will want to secure them all together at the back of the braids by using one piece of fabric and elastic. Have fun and play with your accessories, that is what they're for!

In a society where a common servant girl doesn't have much in the way of prospects, Faith's plain appearance and sharp tongue make a good match even more unlikely. But finding a husband is the least of Faith's worries when she finds herself caught between a beautiful swordswoman and her grotesque, monstrous prey. Given as a reward to the huntress, Faith is beyond terrified.
"Not sure what I was expecting"
Choices...Mael has made too many bad ones under the shadow of his former master. Freed of his chains, yet emptied of purpose, Mael knows he's beyond forgiveness. A single damning call from a former lover might steer him back into doing some good, even if it ends up killing him.
No one can hold a candle to Blaze. He's the only pyromancer in Havoc's Crew, and everyone knows Havoc's Crew is the best magic outfit in Lyon City. When an accident leaves Blaze disfigured, all he wants to do is disappear. When a wave of zombies threaten the city it's up to him and bear-shifter Levi Black to clean the mess up, but the shifter seems more interested in him than the mission.
"A Short Read That Never Went Very Deep"
Derrick Starr is a sad excuse for a dominant werewolf. Unlike most werewolves, he's sworn off meat and has an abnormal preference for sweets. He's also in a bad state - his lover left him and he's just learned that he has type 2 diabetes. An unexpected act of kindness triggers his meeting with Jack, a submissive wolf on the run from his abusive Alpha.
"excellent start of a new series"
There's a new player in Lyon City powerful enough to shut down the city's electric lines and the job is right up Volt's alley. Volt isn't always the easiest man or wizard to deal with. The only person sane enough to put up with his bullshit is his apprentice, tabby shifter Heath Bones, but even Heath's patience is running out.
"Another good one"
Havoc knew Gale never viewed him as a father figure like his brothers. He knows what Gale wants, but Havoc refuses to give in. Gale doesn't know about his bloody past or the monster he used to be. When old sins and buried ghosts begin to resurface, he expects Gale to start running, but Gale refuses to back down. If Gale continues heading down this destructive path, Havoc is afraid it isn't just his heart Gale's going to wreck. He's going to undo them both.
"Good Job"
Being a vegan werewolf and an Omega submissive to the most powerful pack in the country isn't easy, but Ricky Starr refuses to change who he is. When he's given an impossible task, Ricky does it anyway. The last thing he expects to find in New Haven is the frighteningly dominant Donnie Mills. Don isn't what Ricky expects in a mate, but it's hard to find a man capable of keeping his heart captive while being able to whip up a great vegetarian curry at the same time.
Consequences. Making the wrong move led to bad places. Tor should have learned the hard lesson by now, but he's a slow learner. Questioning the dragon shifter who tried to kill his brother should have been easy. Torture is Tor's specialty, but Tor finds himself eager to partake in some debauchery when he finds an eager submissive in Kelas.
Alvin Heinz is a gluten-challenged Gamma werewolf who can pick any mate in the New Haven pack, but the only mate he wants is the only wolf he cannot have. Terrence Neo is one of the pack's fiercest enforcers. Chained to his past and shattered by the rejection of his former mate, he's sworn to lead a solitary existence. The rest of the wolves respect his decision, but not Al.
