Dark Wood: Prologue
Scroll down for summary
Okay. I already had a couple chapters posted on fictionpress. But then I stopped. And then I came back to it and went, this sucks. So I made a new prologue. And then I went back and looked at the chapters I had and was like… Wow. This is kind of okay. This is decent. Why did I almost get rid of this? I can work with this.
But anyway. This is a new prologue. Actually I made like 3, and decided this was the best and it was true to the vision that I have for this story.
So guys. This is a vampire story. Yes, I realize vampires are a tired subject, but they weren't when I got the idea
and that was when I was in like 6th grade okay but the idea has evolved over time, and Twilight was still a mostly unknown entity. I have a special affinity for vampires, and I hope that my Dracula/Anne Rice perspective on this will keep things interesting. Besides, it's not just going to be all about those blood suckers. Gotta keep it somewhat out of the ordinary, right? I'm trying to go for something not so mainstream here so that it will garner a bit more attention and not be like, 'Oh, it's just another vampire story.'
Summary: He's built a life for himself in this little village of his. They lost the battle against the English, but he sees another looming just beyond the horizen. The year is 1330, and he is fortunate and unfortunate enough to be a poor Scottish farmer with a pregnant wife in the Lowlands. However, a rash decision leads to a tragedy that will forever alter his fate. Now as an "accidental" fledgling vampire without a master, his life is spiraling out of control as the next War of Scottish Independence begins. As if the loss of his village and family isn't enough, after they lose the war he goes on his way to England, towards everything he hates, in search of his master. However he is kidnapped by a capricious and sadistic countess. Will he ever be taught the proper ways of the vampire? This man now lives in a world different from that of Man, and there are laws as well as enforcers of the law here as well. Will he ever learn to live as he is now, or will he forever be looking to the past, spiraling into the depths of insanity and despair?
Whew that was long. It may have seemed like it but really I didn't give anything away!
Genres: Fantasy (with many sub genres), horror, drama, romance (it's not a central focus, but there may be some relationships here and there), action/adventure, history, psychological, sci-fi (just a bit, because I feel good fantasy has a touch of sci-fi), angst
And remember: no matter how hopeless this story gets, it's NOT a tragedy for a reason! In tragedies, there is a tragic hero. A tragic hero always goes through hell and makes all kinds of stupid mistakes and then dies. But there are no heroes in these sorts of books, so this is not a tragedy for a reason! Have faith, dear readers! I always feel like I should put this, since some readers tend to give up hope sometimes.
WARNING: no warnings for this chapter :3
Enjoy, lovelies!
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! How hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern.
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter it is, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Speak will I of the other things I saw there.
I cannot well repeat how there I entered,
So full was I of slumber at the moment
In which I had abandoned the true way. [1]
In The Year Of Our Lord Thirteen Hundred Thirty
The ever growing population of Glasgow went about their business in the evening twilight. Women cooked meager dinners in their cozy homes, waiting for their men to come back from the barn or shed, or perhaps from hunting.
If they were lucky, the men had a job to do in the town. A real job.
A pretty, young woman poked her head outside her front door. "Glendon! Rossalyn! Come in please and help me finish dinner!"
"Mother!" The little boy in her front yard whined. "Duff and I were just about to—"
"Right now, mister! Or you won't get any dinner!"
With a reluctant sight the boy follow his mother into the house.
"Aila, wait!"
The young woman turned around at the sound of her name. "Yes?"
A wrinkled old hag stood outside Aila's home, her back bent permanently from years of farm work. She was the town gossip. If a woman wanted to know something about someone, she would inevitably find out from this haggard old woman.
"From now on, don't let your children outside without careful supervision. Especially not after dark."
"What?" Aila cocked her head to the side. "Well of course I wouldn't allow them to stay out after dark, but… Why the extra supervision?"
"There is a murderer on the loose." The old woman whispered.
"A murderer?" Aila repeated, more than a bit shocked.
"Shh, not so loud! Now listen here. Methinks it might be a creature of the night."
It took a moment before understanding registered on Aila's face. "Oh, don't be silly. Aren't those just stories?"
"Whether it's that, or an Englishman, I tell you the truth!"
"Have you told others about this?"
"Aye, I've told a few. Going to be telling more before I turn in for the night. Now you just get back about your business, dear, I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we don't go outside."
Aila nodded uncertainly. "Good night, then,"
"Good night, dear."
"Ah – wait!" Aila called hesitantly.
"Yes, dear?"
"Have you… Have you heard any other rumors?"
"Like what? There's always gossip to be had, you know." The old woman grinned slyly.
"No, I mean, terrible rumors… Grim rumors."
The smile completely left the old woman's face and her mouth formed an 'o' shape. "Dear, there will always be wars, and rumors of war. The Bible says so."
"So it sounds like there will be another?" Aila wrung her hands fretfully.
"I don't know, but I do know I'm not letting any blasted Englishman have any say in my life, that's the truth!"
Aila smiled. "Yes." She agreed. "Thank you for telling me what you know."
"Any time, a pleasure! You know, I think they're getting started on completing the west end of that cathedral building they're making in town."
"Is that what it looks like?"
"Well, have a look for yourself next time you're there! Now get inside and get warmed, a storm's blowing up!"
"Oh, my! You're right – oh!" Aila cried. "My dinner! I nearly forgot, I called the children in to help me finish! Good night!" She waved to the chuckling old woman as she hurried inside.Read More »

A school bus driver heading to drop off six students at a southeast Portland school noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment of the bus this morning and leapt into action.Kay Brown immediately stopped the bus near Southeast 18th Avenue and Claybourne Street and started to evacuate the bus. The students' school, Llewellyn Elementary, is located just a few blocks away.Portland firefighters say Brown safely escorted the students off the bus, called 911 and waited with them a block away from the smoking bus.
"I think she handled it perfectly," says Portland Fire and Rescue Lt. Jason Lehman. "She did a good job."
The bus then erupted in flames while firefighters from the department's Woodstock Station were en route.
"It was fully involved in fire," Lehman says. Crews arriving found the bus engulfed in flames, and they quickly put out the fire.There were no injuries to the students or the bus driver.
"She did exactly what she was suppose to do," says Andy Leibenguth, the transportation director for Portland Public Schools.A Portland schools spokesman says the bus driver's route is a special needs route, but none of the students had mobility issues, Leibenguth says.It's not clear what caused the fire, but an investigator was on scene Friday morning. Firefighters say Brown should be credited for acting quickly.Copyright 2011 KPTV. All rights reserved.

Nice Dodgers Shirt, but a little small. I ordered an extra large because I find most size L t-shirts far too small these days. But this shirt was still a little on the small side despite being an XL. And that's taking into account that this would be a smallish XL, fitted shirt when I ordered it. August 31, 2012

Two middleweight veterans from season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) reality show will clash on March 16 as Canadian Nick Ring is scheduled to take on American Chris Camozzi at UFC 158: "St-Pierre vs. Diaz" at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Both men were cast members on TUF 11, and both were forced out of the tournament due to injury. Ring made it to the quarterfinals before a knee injury sidelined him, while Camozzi was pulled from the show by doctors after suffering a broken jaw in his fight to get into the house.
UFC officials announced the 185-pound up on Saturday morning.
Ring (13-1) had a run-in with bad luck last November as he was scheduled to face Constantinos Philippou at UFC 154 before the flu forced him out of the fight on the morning of the event. Ring's bout against Philippou was scrapped and now the 33-year-old will get a second chance to compete for the Montreal fans who wanted to see him in November.
"The Promise" was last seen in the Octagon at UFC 149 where he earned a decision victory over Court McGee. Ring is 3-1 under the UFC banner with the only career defeat coming to middleweight contender Tim Boetsch.
Camozzi (18-5) is currently on a three-fight win-streak and will attempt to continue his momentum with a fourth consecutive victory at UFC 158. Camozzi went perfect in 2012, earning three wins inside the Octagon including two stoppages. After traveling to Brazil and defeating Luiz Cane in front of his home country at UFC 153 last October, Camozzi will attempt to put on a repeat performance by taking out Ring with the Canadian faithful watching closely.
The 26-year-old has finished 11 of his 18 wns inside the distance and has yet to be knocked out in 23 professional fights.
It is unknown at this time where Ring vs. Camozzi will air on the UFC 158 fight card, which is expected to be broadcast on pay-per-view (PPV), FX and Facebook.
UFC 158: "St-Pierre vs. Diaz" goes down March 16 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A welterweight championship grudge match between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diazserves as the main event while crucial 170-pound contests of Carlso Condit vs. Rory MacDonaldand Johnny Hendricks vs. Jake Ellenberger fill the undercard.

I'm doing a story next week that is pretty disturbing. Welcome to the crime beat. It's called peer to peer pornography, which is just a classy term for a very unclassy trend... that of teenagers (and younger) sending pictures of their naked private parts to other kids via cell phones.
When I interviewed the new police chief of Tulsa public schools recently, he told me he was shocked by all the pornography found on cell phones that have been confiscated from high school and middle school kids.
It takes the old "playing doctor" to a much deeper, less innocent and criminal level. It's bad enough these kids think taking and sending these pictures is totally acceptable (and, they have to know whoever they send them to are sharing them with others), but, they have no idea they are breaking the law and could actually do time.
We are going to see, in the very near future, police and district attorneys drastically clamping down on this behavior. It's already happened in other states. A teenager was charged with felony pornography and the DA is also thinking of charging everyone who received the photo, whether they also passed it along or not.
Parents were outraged, saying the 14 year old boy didn't even know what pornography is. Maybe parents ought to be talking about that. Maybe they should be reading text messages and looking at photos and videos their child sends and receives. I'm surprised how reluctant parents are to do that and let their kids know they're doing it and will do it at any given moment. Especially, when parents are paying for these cell phones and packages.
Kids are curious and may think it's funny or exciting to see these images, but, they need to be aware it is against the law and they shouldn't be participating and they should be telling their friends too.
I realize parenting has changed, with the advent of all this technology, but, pleading ignorance for parents doesn't work any better than it does for kids. You know these things are out there and you have to believe, even your straight A student who shares everything with you, could be sucked into this type of photo sharing.
It needs to be talked about openly and honestly, before they end up facing a felony sex charge that could forever alter the life they have ahead of them. What a shame it would be for them to end up having to register as a sex offender, because they took a picture of a naked body part and sent it to a girlfriend. If the girlfriend's parents find that photo, you can bet they'll be quick to call police and demand charges.
Like everything else in our world, choices lead to consequences and kids need to be told the dire consequences for making this type of choice.

text: Ellen Salt Point, New York 10/12/2012 8:28:13 AM My Great Pyrenees was a rescue I got because I volunteered to keep her while her family's home after a fire. That was 10 years ago! She has a wonderful personality and is in fact, a Therapy Dog who goes to a school for children with some pretty severe problems. I do have her shaved in the early summer when it begins to heat up with some pretty severe humidity. She seems very happy to have her haircut and is definitely more comfortable. I also have two other dogs (a german shepherd and a shepherd/greyhound cross) and three cats. She gets along well with all the others and will ever wash the cats like they are her pups. She hates to go out in the rain but loves to swim! Though I might hesitate to get another because of the hair problem, I would not hesitate to adopt another because her personality is that of a gentle, loving giant.

Huh...not like a love story at all. It sounded a lot better in the original write-up. Whatever. Anyway, after sadly turning in my keys at the end of the semester, I thought I'd never play with volatile laser beams again...at least until next year. BUT! My school has a Design, Build, Fly (DBF) team - although we always managed to catastrophically crash just before the competition...go figure - and a team member wants to get an early jump on manufacturing procedures in an attempt to revitalize the project. So whaddaya know, I'm now the go-to guy for lasers. Booya.
So it's time for a new saga! For years we've had these old central air supply and return vents in our hallway and garage. They're old-fashioned, impossible to clean, and bent up from years of hallway soccer and such games with four kids in the family. In short, they're ugly now, and too old to find a direct replacement. Custom or even stock metal covers are pricey...and mostly hideous. So what is the solution? Drab to fab and all that jazz - laser cut a new one out of wood!
The leading image is the final product for our garage vent cover. The second image shows a before-and-after for the hallway vent. Still a bit of work to do on that one - cleaning up the wall around the edges and such - but not too shabby overall. All of this work was done at the cost of materials and a bit of time on a CAD system, totaling perhaps $20 - because my usual wood shop was out of the size stock I needed, so I had to go to an art supply store, where they charge double. Figures.
Thumbs up! :)

Area 6 includes the land from the western edge of Brockmere Cliffs Road to the City of Brockville, including the Brockville group of islands.
The St. Lawrence Central Campground was established at Butternut Bay in 1875 on the bluff overlooking the river. It was the first church camp on the Canadian side of the river and offered a summer retreat on 25 acres of woodland. Visitors could stay at the boarding house or purchase one of the 30 cottages on the grounds. The property was owned by the Methodist Episcopal Church. Worshippers often arrived by steamer at the park dock.
East of Butternut Bay at Highbury there is an interesting historical footnote about willow trees. The brother of James Sabine, an early brewer, served as a mid-shipman aboard the H.M.S. Bellerophon. In 1815, the ship carried Napoleon Bonaparte into exile on the island of St. Helena. Napoleon's wish to be buried in a valley full of willows was honoured. In 1850 Lieutenant Sabine revisited St. Helena and the grave of Napoleon. As a souvenir he took several cuttings from a willow tree. He later brought those same cuttings to his brother's home at Highbury The willows are still standing today - direct descendants of those same trees that shade Napoleon's grave on the island of St. Helena.
In the early 1880's the towns of Prescott, Brockville and Gananoque were given the opportunity to buy the undeveloped islands in their jurisdictions. The only community to take advantage of this offer was Brockville. The town leased the islands from 1883 until 1933, when they were purchased. Stovin Island was transferred from the Department of Indian Affairs to the Department of the Interior. This agency became Parks Canada in 1905.
The names of Buell and Jones are closely linked with the development of Brockville. The families were at odds for a name for the new town. They asked General Brock for advice as he passed through the area in 1812. Brock modestly volunteered his own name. William Buell Jr. served in the 7th Leeds Militia at the Battle of Crysler Farm in 1813. He later went on to become the editor and publisher of the Brockville Recorder.
This is considered to be the oldest paper in Ontario, having published continuously under the same name for over 175 years.
Daniel Jones Jr. was knighted in 1836 by King William IV for having saved a member of the Royal family from drowning. He was the first Canadian-born person to be awarded the honour. Daniel Jones was a lawyer, judge and eventually the first police chief of the Brockville Police Force. in 1832 Brockville was the first municipality in Ontario to be incorporated as a police village.
Area 6 has many unique geological features. It is at the eastern edge of the Frontenac Axis, resulting in a blend of Canadian Shield and St. Lawrence Lowland characteristics. At Long Beach a section of Potsdam sandstone shows wave terracing and pillars from an ancient beach. Along with the evidence of early erosion, it is also possible to see present day erosion, and deposition as a beach is forming at the base of the cliffs. These characteristics are more common in the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The area called Hillcrest is well named, lying on the remnants of old mountains that once dominated the countryside. This feature is more typical of the Canadian Shield. Bedrock from three geological areas underlies the city of Brockville. Most of the city is based on hills of Precambrian granites of two distinct formations. The younger Potsdam sandstone from the Cambrian era may be seen in the cliffs to the east overlooking the St. Lawrence. It is also pronounced along the shore from Hudson's Point to beyond Butternut Bay.
Portions of Area 6 have not been subject to much development pressure. Old growth forests are evident in some areas, full of old logs and snags, as well as mature white pines and sugar maples.

December's heavy rains came at a bad time for Elsa Marroquin, who was overseeing the renovation of the Oxnard property that used to house Mama Soo Hoo's Orient restaurant.
"We took off the roof in December and the water kept running in. The wall started peeling and the workers scraped them to prepare them for painting," Marroquin said.
But when workers peeled away layers of paint and gilded wallpaper, a life-size scene painted on the wall of what appears to be agrarian China emerged and a mystery was born.
Marroquin contacted the city to report her find and they notified Gary Blum, chairman of the Ventura County Cultural Heritage Board. The building at 730 S. Oxnard Blvd. was built in the 1940s. Blum said the restaurant was part of an Asian enclave with the Golden Chicken Inn across the street still in business. "There has always been a thriving Asian community in Oxnard," Blum said.
Blum asked fellow cultural heritage board member Don Allen Shorts, an expert on Southern California murals, to weigh in on the discovery. He also had photographer Stephen Schafer take a series of pictures of the partially uncovered mural, so that a record of the images can be added to the Oxnard Library collection. They will make them available online.
"I'm hoping to find some kind of little clue," Shorts said as he examined the portion of the scene that has been uncovered so far.
The wall appears to be divided into panels, with each scene segueing into the next. The walls toward the back of the building have been uncovered and show people out in the fields plowing and carrying water, with mountains in the background. In the forefront, a woman is holding court over a tea table surrounded by guests. Behind the tea table is a cartoon-like cow.
The second panel indicates a chaotic town center scene, with babies, animals and people who appear to be running in some alarm. "The scene seems to be set in China," Shorts said. "I don't see any clues of an American setting."
Marroquin said the building is being renovated to include space for two offices upstairs and perhaps another restaurant, a shop or a gallery of some kind downstairs. She and Blum agree that asking someone to restore the mural would be cost-prohibitive, especially given the current economic climate.
For now, the wall will be documented and then encased behind a facade, so the building can be used, but if someone wants to restore the mural, it will be available.
Shorts said the mural appeared to be from the mid-20th century, with its combination of Asian and cartoon styles. Angela Soo Hoo, whose husband Bill Soo Hoo opened and ran the restaurant along with his mother, Soo Hoo Jung Hall, known as Mama Soo Hoo, said she had no idea where the mural came from. She said she had some recollection of seeing it when she first married her husband in the 1960s.
Bill Soo Hoo, who died in 1990 at 66, was the first Chinese-American mayor of Oxnard in 1966, according to an account by the Ventura County Chinese American Society, which documents the Soo Hoo family.
Bill Soo Hoo's mother had come from China to the United States in 1909 to marry the 57-year-old Soo Hoo Yee Tom, who also was born in China. The family settled in Oxnard in the 1920s where they established a small general store. But it was Mama Soo Hoo's cooking that people remembered, according to the online account, and a family restaurant proved popular with residents of what was known as China Alley. After Bill Soo Hoo's father died in the 1930s and Bill Soo Hoo returned from serving in World War II, he and the rest of the family decided to open a new Oxnard Boulevard restaurant in 1949, Mama Soo Hoo's Orient.
Shorts said he hopes that when people read about the mural discovery someone will come forward with more information about its origin.
Marroquin said she had heard from Brian Soo Hoo a story about a cook who also liked to paint, and perhaps he painted the mural. But Angela Soo Hoo said she was unaware of the story.
Don Shorts asks that anyone with information about the mural should contact him at 643-4217.

A sidewalk near Hans Christensen Middle School that was advocated by parents is set for construction.
Work on a project that will put a sidewalk on the south side of McCall Boulevard from Sherman Road to an existing sidewalk east of Hillpoint Road is scheduled to begin on July 1 and be completed by July 31, according to an announcement from the city of Menifee.
"The project will provide a separate traveling path for pedestrians and bicyclists by installing a concrete sidewalk on an undeveloped dirt path adjacent to the roadway," the announcement states. "This will provide sidewalk connectivity to other existing sidewalks connecting to Hans Christensen Middle School."
Students who live east of the school are walking on a dirt shoulder on the south side of McCall Boulevard.
The path is dangerous because there is no curb separating the students from fast-moving traffic, according to Pauline Cramer, a crossing guard at the school.
When it rains and the trail becomes muddy, students often try to walk along the edge of the pavement, bringing them close to passing cars, Cramer said during an interview in February.
The sidewalk will improve public safety for students of the middle school in addition to everyone who uses the road, said Betti Cadmus, a spokesperson for the Menifee Union School District.
"The sidewalk won't just benefit our student body but the entire community," she said.
A chain link fence will also be built around a drainage ditch s along part of the path, according to the announcement.

Peyton Manning threw a record-trying seven touchdown passes - something no one had done in 44 years - to lead the Denver Broncos past the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
The Cowboys' Week 4 matchup with the San Diego Chargers was so important because of this week's game against the Denver Broncos. To give you an idea of the difference between a potential Cowboys win versus a loss, consider last night's Bills-Browns game. Buffalo lost and fell to 2-3, giving them just a 14 percent chance to make the postseason. Meanwhile, Cleveland's playoff chances soared to 44 percent just from a single victory that propelled them to 3-2.
The Cowboys are in a superior position in the NFC East just because they're still going to be at least tied for first in the division even if they lose. But at some point, they'll obviously need to play better football. Here are a couple key matchups against Denver that could dictate the game's outcome.

Pro Art Gallery To Place The Spot Light On Street Art At Exhibition
The exhibition will feature art works by prominent and renowned street art legends
January 23, 2013 11:01 by anila
Dubai, 22nd January 2013: ProArt Gallery, the gallery that celebrates innovative art and collectibles, today announced that it will hold an exhibition titled 'Street Art In The City' showcasing artworks of over eight international street artists from January 23rd to Febuary 13th, 2013 at the Pro Art Gallery located at Palm Strip Shopping Mall on Jumeirah Beach Road.
'Street Art in the City' will open with a gala reception on Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013 at 7 pm, where unique art works by prominent street artists such as Banksy, Saif B.Chilmiran, Salamech, Mau Mau, Shepard Fairey, D'Face, Richard Mirando aka Seen, British Design Collective, Evil Dr Revolt, and Mr Brainwash to name a few will be on display. Art lovers, connoisseurs and collectors are expected to attend the opening.
Speaking on the exhibition, Ms. Tatiana Faure, Director, ProArt Gallery, says "Street art began as underground, in-your- face appropriation of public visual surfaces and used as a tool for communicating their views. Captivated by the world of art, it is becoming a major part of visual space in many cities and a recognized art movement that is crossing over into museums and galleries."
"Dubai now has had the opportunity to view a diverse collection of street artworks from around the world. Whether it is regarded as vandalism or public art, street art has caught the interest of the art world and with 'Street Art in the City' exhibition we hope to provide greater exposure to this art form in Dubai.", Ms. Faure adds.
Biographies of featured artists:
Born in UK, he is perhaps the most famous current graffiti artist. While his real name is still the subject of much debate, Banksy is known throughout the world as a graffiti artist who specializes in satirical political and societal commentary. His art is a combination of stenciling, spray paint and fine brush painting. Known for infiltrating art museums and creating huge displays in prominent places in major cities, Banksy recently came out of anonymity long enough to collaborate with and put on a show in the Bristol Museum of Art.
Blek Le Rat
One of the first graffiti artists in Paris, and has been described as the "Father of Stencil Graffiti''. He began his artworks in 1981, panting stencils of rats on the street walls of Paris, describing the rat as the only free animal in the city, and one which spreads the plague everywhere, just like street art. His name originates from a childhood carton "Blek le Roc''. Banksy has acknowledged Blek's influence stating "every time I think I have painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well, only twenty years earlier".
Born in Montpellier (France),he started graffiti in 2001 and claims to be first as an actor authentic graffiti movement. The artist is permeated by urban culture since the late 90s along with hip-hop music, urban sports and the graffiti colouring the walls of his city. Salamech started graffiti from 2001 and his name is quickly noticed because it is composed of eight letters, which is unusual in this environment. It is distinguished by a naïve style and spontaneous. From 2002 he began to paint trains under the influence of Smole (iconic graffiti artist). Salamech uses every possible technique: pens, markers, spray painting and ink.
Mau Mau
He is a renowned graffiti artist who has gained a cult following for his humorous street art often based on topical themes. He has produced work for Greenpeace and the Glastonbury Festival, has created animated music videos for artists such as Dizzee Rascal.
Saif B. Chilmiran
Born in 1990 in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, he adds Emirati flavor to the international mix with selected works,. In 2006 Saif was offered his first mural commissioned job at a popular gaming lounge within the city. This exposition of his work and talents eventually lead to his graffiti, murals and street art being demanded at various promotional events, MTV Arabia, 2009 Mini Cooper launch, Redbull Air Race, Chevrolet Urban Challenge, Marc Ecko, a collaborative project with the international Spanish photographer Miguel Trillo, to name a few. In 2008 Saif started experimenting with canvas and other forms of art, while always keeping the street art factor in perspective.

Acid reflux is a condition where acid from the stomach travels up into the oesophagus (gullet). This happens if the valve between the stomach and the oesophagus does not work effectively. Acid reflux can cause 'heartburn' or acid in the back of the mouth.
What are the benefits of surgery?
Surgery is aimed at curing the symptoms of acid reflux.
Are there any alternatives to surgery?
Drugs that lower the acid content in the stomach are effective at controlling symptoms and healing inflammation.
Surgery is only recommended if the symptoms continue or if you would prefer not to stay on medication.
What does the operation involve?
The operation is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually takes between one and two hours.
The laparoscopic ('keyhole') technique is usually used. Your surgeon will make several small cuts on your abdomen. They will place surgical instruments, along with a telescope, inside your abdomen and perform the operation (see figure 1).
Your surgeon will stitch the diaphragm to reduce the size of the hole the oesophagus passes through. They will then wrap and stitch the top part of the stomach around the lower oesophagus, to produce a valve effect.
What complications can happen?
1 General complications of any operation
2 Specific complications of this operation
a. Laparoscopic complications
b. Nissen fundoplication complications
Long-term problems
How soon will I recover?
You should be able to go home the next day.
You should be able to return to work after three to four weeks but this may vary depending on the extent of surgery and your type of work.
Regular exercise should help you to return to normal activities as soon as possible. Before you start exercising, you should ask a member of the healthcare team or your GP for advice.
You should make a full recovery, with the symptoms of acid reflux gone or much improved.
Acid reflux can cause heartburn or acid in the mouth. The acid can cause the lining of the oesophagus to become inflamed or scarred. Surgery may be recommended if your symptoms continue while you are on medication.
Paying for your procedure
Nissen fundoplication (laparoscopic) costs are covered by most medical insurance policies, but please check with your insurer first. If you are paying for your own procedure the cost will be explained and confirmed in writing when you book the procedure. Ask the hospital for a quote beforehand, and ensure that this includes the surgeon's fee, the anaesthetist's fee and the hospital charge for your procedure.

Unemployment Rate For Youths At A Record High

Really? I haven't noticed. I have been too busy all summer looking for jobs. Oh, wait… it all makes sense now. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 51.1% of American youths aged from 16-24 are unemployed. Makes me feel real good about my huge life changing decision by leaving my crummy insurance agency job to seek greener pastures in the marketing/advertising field! Just incase you are wondering, this is the lowest number reported since 1948. And it just so happens the year the government started collecting this data was 1948, AKA this is the highest percentage ever. Good thing I turn 24 next year, so my chances of getting a job percentage-wise has to increase, right?

The current team is nothing to be excited about so lets reminisce on the good times. Post the first ever game you attended. I know some of you were there to open the sombrero. My first game was not until 2001 when we played our division rival Detroit for the second time that season. It was a fantastic way to be introduced to pthe pure definition of buc ball we won the game 15-12 with a last minute touchdown to Keyshawn Johnson(his first TD of that season). It's what has carried me through these rough seasons post Super Bowl, and what will continue to do so.
Thanksgiving Day, Bucs at Cowboys...yea.

As you can see in the image above, NBC has once again changed the title of its upcoming mid-season opulent soap, which was initially titled Notorious, and then switched to Infamous (which we've known it as for the last many months). It will now be called Deception - final answer, as NBC sets up to start the series' promotional campaign, although there's still no official debut date yet.
Notorious, Infamous, Deception stars Meagan Good as detective Joanna Locasto, a female detective who returns undercover to the wealthy family she grew up in - as the maid's daughter - to solve the murder of the notorious heiress who was once her closest friend - celebutante Vivian Lawson.
The NBC series co-stars Laz Alonso, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, and Katherine LaNasa co-starring.
Laz Alonso is slated to play NYPD detective Will Sacovitch, who recruits Good's character, his former flame, to team up and infiltrate the Lawson home - led by Victor Garber as Robert Lawson, and Tate Donovan as his son.
We anticipate an S&A Infamous Talkback series when the time comes.
Watch clips below:

I hope Laz Alonso works on that accent...didn't sound natural at all.

Meagan has lowered her voice some, or maybe the voice change comes with age. She doesn't look her age by the way. She always looks about 8 years younger than she really is. The new title is cliched, but it sounds better than the other two previous titles. I am excited to see Meagan and Laz on the screen each week. Since they are former flames, maybe we will get some cocoa/caramel love on the screen. A girl can hope.

Meagan is a ridiculously pretty woman. I've never seen her look as haggard as she does in that promo still. Photoshop did her no justice. Quick question, though. What show is this supposed to go up against? Just curious.

Man charged with arson with intent to endanger life following flat fire in Witham
11:28am Thursday 27th March 2014 in News
A man has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life following a flat blaze in Witham.
Unemployed Daniel Newton, 22, of Freebournes Court, Witham, was also charged with assaulting a police officer after the fire on Monday evening above the Job Centre in Newland Street.
He was due to appear at Colchester Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Three fire crews rushed to the flat, above the Job Centre in Newland Street, where thick grey smoke poured into the street from the window.
They rescued a man from the building and he was taken to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, by ambulance suffering from suspected smoke inhalation.
