text: Conservative Reps: Boehner Planning Tax Hikes Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 5 Dec 2012 post a comment Two conservative members of Congress who were booted from powerful House Committees by the Republican leadership said House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and the House Republican leadership are set on passing major tax increases to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. At the Heritage Foundation's Bloggers Briefing on Tuesday, Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) and Justin Amash (R-MI) blistered Boehner and the House Republican leadership for their deceitful actions behind closed doors. Ultimately, Huelskamp said Boehner -- and the House Republican leadership -- will "attempt to pass a tax increase through the House" and conservatives were about to get "run over." On Monday, Breitbart News investigative reporter Matthew Boyle broke the story about how the House Republican leadership, which includes Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), purged conservatives from powerful committees. House Leaders used a "secret criteria list" that most likely included votes on the House floor against some of the more moderate and establishment positions favored by the House leadership. Huelskamp said if members did not "get a high enough score," they were "punished" and purged. Amash, who said he has voted with the leadership 95% of the time, said the House leadership still has not informed him of their decision and that he was forced to "read it in the newspapers." He said this was "outrageous" and "a slap in the face to all young people who are thinking of becoming Republicans." The Republican House leadership removed Huelskamp an Amash from the House Budget Committee and purged Reps. David Schweikert (R-AZ) and Walter Jones (R-NC) from the House Financial Services Committee.

Grilled Marinated Eggplant Reviews
Epicurious | June 2010
reviews & comments (23)
Great easy recipe. I used split baby eggplants and had some garlic scapes on hand to add to the marinade. We found ourselves smearing the eggplant and marinade on slices of baguette and topping with a little parmesan. Decadent. With added leftover grilled spring sugar baby onion to the leftover eggplant and marinade. It just gets better and better...
I've made this recipe a number of times over the years. It's delicious as written, and it's nice to have something done ahead of time when entertaining. It is also good as sandwiches, so we sometimes skip straight to that!
Not sure why no one mentioned slicing the eggplant 1/3" is pretty thin and it grills quickly. Also I found the parsley mixture needed to be tripled for a small eggplant I grilled. Still waiting to taste this is seems good.
I followed the recipe pretty much as directed. Since I don't have a grill, I put the eggplant in my George Foreman electric. Absolutely delicious. I can't wait to make my leftover sandwich at work on Monday.
Excellent combination of flavours. I did not bother with dipping the eggplant in balsamic, I just added the vinegar to the parsley mixture. I didn't think I would like it "chewy" as described so did brush some oil on before grilled the eggplant.
An easy yet tasty dish that is a cook's best friend--it's made hours before it's served and only gets better the longer one waits. A terrific addition to a summer menu.
fabulous flavor! after mixing the "pesto" with the eggplant i chopped up the eggplant and the parsley pesto and mixed it into cheese tortellini... IT WAS AMAZING!
DELICIOUS! I wasn't able to grill the eggplant, so I dipped in the balsamic vinegar, spread on the marinade and then BAKED it in a 9x13 pyrex dish until tender. Then I chilled it to create the appetizer. It could also be served warm as a side dish. This is one of the best ways to use eggplant that I've found.
Because I was out of capers, I used olives instead; I also added walnuts to the mixture. The blandness of the eggplants combined with the 'pesto' was just perfect.
The flavor of this eggplant is amazing. I used a cast iron pan instead of the grill, and fresh chili instead of dry. Exceptionally simple and delicious. I had some extra balsamic, so I combined it with the extra parsley mixture and marinated chicken in it. I would recommend it. Then, for lunch, I had the eggplant and chicken on ciabatta with blue cheese spread. Yum!

I firmly believe Councilman Winburn's comments to City Manager Dohoney are, at best, an outrageous and mean-spirited display of intimidation and harassment.
In my opinion, when Councilman Winburn (1) brought up issues regarding City Manager Dohoney's last raise and (2) suggested to the city manager that he should take heed of the people to whom the city manager is responsible, Councilman Winburn clearly crossed the line of political ethics.
Both of these comments have no purpose other than to intimidate and harass. Councilman Winburn should be brought to task for both of these comments. These comments were not subtle threats but a clear demonstration of Councilman Winburn's intent to inappropriately intimidate and harass a public official into submission regardless of the procedures that were established years ago to address the very issues debated by City Council.
City Manager Dohoney should be permitted to do his job as defined by his job description. Council members must refrain from inappropriately interfering with the city manager's duties and should, instead, attempt to influence him through established protocol within the boundaries established by the city's charter and within the government's Code of Ethics.
I am planning to purchase a residential unit in downtown Cincinnati within the next few months. Consequently, I have a great interest in what is happening in the city. I am a retired Colonel with 30 years of service in the US Army, and am also an attorney licensed in the State of Ohio.

What a crazy week it has been. Halloween was on Monday. MLB free agency got underway on Thursday. I am here to recap everything for you guys today. This week on MarlinManiac:
- Michael Jong announced he was leaving the site to join Fishstripes. He had been on MarlinManiac for the past two years and built the site to where it is today.
- As a result of Michael's departure, I became the Editor of the site. On Tuesday, I laid out what the New MarlinManiac will look like. If you have not already, please follow the new official MarlinManiac twitter account: @ek2MarlinManiac.
- We took a look at Tim Dierke's Free Agency predictions and analyzed the potential moves for the Marlins.
- James C. Etzbach Jr. gave us a potential look at what the new Marlins uniforms may look like. Pretty colorful stuff there.
- I also looked into a possible alternative free agent starting pitching target for the Marlins, Paul Maholm.
- If you are interested in writing for MarlinManiac, your chance is here.
- I started a new series that I will do every Wednesday and Friday for the remainder of the off-season. That is an off-season update on moves and rumors for the Fish.
- Last but not least, earlier today I looked at if the Marlins adding Pujols alone make them playoff contenders.
Thank you all for a wonderful first week on MarlinManiac and it's new regime. Hopefully we can build off of this week and continue to have the great success that Michael left off with.

The Army will examine 190,000 files to see if it failed to give veterans the proper pension compensation for mental health problems. In Calif. one in 10 vets are uninsured.
USA Today: Army Review To Look At Mental Health Compensation
The Army says it will pore through -- in less than 90 days -- about 190,000 medical files of current and former soldiers dating to 2001 to see whether any were shortchanged on retirement compensation for mental health problems (Aoroya, 6/6).
KQED: One In Ten California Veterans Are Uninsured
Ten percent of California veterans don't have health insurance or don't use Veterans Affairs (V.A.) care. That's just slightly below the 10.3 percent rate among veterans around the country. That's according to a report by the Urban Institute. Co-author Jennifer Haley says there are 108,000 uninsured vets in the state, second only to the number in Texas (Dornhelm, 6/5).

Urticaria or hives or nettle rash ( resembles the sting of a nettle), as it is generally called, is a common skin disorder, characterized by localized swellings on the skin. This itchy rash, usually last for a few hours before fading away.
When urticaria develops around loose tissues of the eyes or lips, the affected area may swell excessively causing pain and discomfort. Although scary in appearance, the swelling goes away in 12 to 24 hours with right treatment.
The disease may be acute, chronic, or recurrent.
The initial symptoms are raised red and white patches on the skin, which is accompanied by a burning sensation, intense itching, and stinging. Do not rub or scratch the patches, as it will aggravate the condition. These weals may fade in a few minutes or an hour in one place, but may again appear in another.
These disorders last from a day or two to a week, though recurring attacks may take place at varying intervals
The most probable causes of acute urticaria are:
The best treatment for urticaria is to identify and avoid the cause and any aggravating factor.
Doctors prescribe anti-histamines for immediate relief of symptoms. Antihistamines, when taken orally, take about an hour or so to relieve a rash. They work best if taken on a regular basic to prevent the eruption of urticaria. To avoid side-effects like drowsiness, heaviness, non-sedative antihistamines are often taken side by side.
Elimination diets are not of much help unless a particular food allergen is suspected.
Urticaria can be very easily cured at home by the use of some simple grandmother's tips.
Salt is beneficial when urticaria is accompanied by digestive disorders. Intake of salt water induces vomiting, and gives relief and help in curing eruptions.
Turmeric acts as a strong antiseptic. The usual dosage is to take two teaspoons of turmeric powder mixed with a cup of water daily.
Rose water in vinegar is useful if there is severe itching on the weals. This mixture if applied locally to the affected part gives immediate relief.
Helps in relieving itching.
A well balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts, whole grains, green vegetables and fruits. The emphasis should be on fresh fruits and raw vegetable salads.
A patient suffering from urticaria must drink a minimum of eight glasses of water daily. A glass of water containing the juice of half a lemon may be taken one hour before each meal and between meals. This helps cleanse the system of toxic materials and also stimulate quick recovery.
Doctors often suggest an all fruit diet for at least five days as the best way to begin treatment for urticaria at home. To follow this, one must take three meals a day of fresh juicy fruits such as oranges, apples, pineapples, grapes, and papaya. He must not forget to drink lots of water along with this to cleanse the system.
Try to avoid tea, coffee, caffeine, alcohol, meat, poultry, white sugar, processed foods and all foods which are difficult to digest and would put a strain on the digestive tract.
Fresh air and sunlight is very essential for the treatment of urticaria. It helps the weals and blisters to heal fast.
To be taken at least for 10-20 minutes, three times a week, the bath is prepared by dissolving one kilogram of commercial Epsom salt in an ordinary bath of hot water. No soap should be used with the Epsom salts bath.
Urticaria is not a frightening disease. If proper preventive measures are undertaken, the disorder can be kept in control. Some useful preventive measures are-
Raktmokshan is an ayurveda method used to draw out a certain amount of toxic blood from the body. This helps in detoxifying the blood, thus helping mainly in various chronic skin diseases.
Often leech is used to suck out the impure blood from the affected area. Blood-letting is done to eliminate toxins from the blood stream causing various chronic skin disorders like urticaria, eczema etc.

Dear Mr. Geske:
On May 13 and 28, 2003, investigators from the Food and Drug Administration conducted an inspection of your facility at 4107 Highway 51 North, Janesville, Wisconsin.

These teat dips are identified as Tri-Soft Pre & Post Sanitizing Teat Dip, Tri-Soft 110 Pre & Post Sanitizing Teat Dip, and Tri-Soft Plus Pre & Post Sanitizing Teat Dip.
These products are adulterated within the meaning of 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) in that teat dip is a drug and the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to or are not operated or administered in conformity with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). These cGMPS have been defined as regulations in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 211 (21 CFR 211).
The specific deficiencies noted in your firms repackaging and distribution operation were noted on the Form FDA-483, Inspectional Observations, presented to you at the conclusion of the inspection. The deviations from the cGMP requirements include:
1. Failure to have and implement a Master Production and Control Record for each of the three teat dips as required by 21 CFR 211.186(a).
2. Failure to utilize Batch Production and Control Records for each batch of teat dip repackaged, as required by 21 CFR 211.188.
3. Failure to have implemented written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the teat dip products have the identity, strength, quality and purity they purport or are represented to possess, as required by 21 CFR 211.100(a).
4. Failure to have appropriate laboratory determinations of satisfactory conformance to fmal specifications, as required by 21 CFR 211.165(a).
5. Failure to have and implement written procedures describing in sufficient detail the receipt, identification, storage, handling, sampling, examination, and/or testing of labeling and packaging materials, as required by 21 CFR 211.122(a).
We request that you notify this office in writing within 15 working days of receipt of this letter stating the actions you will take to correct the violations and to prevent their recurrence. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which the corrections will be completed.

This letter does not represent a comprehensive review of ail of the products distributed by your fum. As owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that all products distributed by your firm are in compliance with the Act and its implementing regulations.

Topics: Politics, Health Reform, Medicare, Health Costs
Nov 18, 2009
"On Thursday, the House is expected to pass a $210 billion measure — known as the 'doc fix' — that will adjust Medicare payment rates to avoid a 21 percent cut in January and continuing cuts in the years ahead," The New York Times reports, adding: "The House originally included the provision in its big health care bill. But it was dropped because its steep cost would have meant the bill would add to future federal deficits, violating one of President Obama's central requirements for the health legislation." A similar, standalone bill was blocked last month in the Senate by all Republicans, a dozen Democrats and an independent (Herszenhorn, 11/17).
"The physicians' lobby is optimistic a permanent Medicare physician payment fix that failed in the Senate will pass the House this week, former American Medical Association President Nancy Nielsen said today," CongressDaily reports. "Should the permanent fix pass the House, Nielsen said the group will redouble its efforts in the Senate and attempt to convince deficit hawks that temporary fixes are adding to the problem, causing the cuts to inflate each year" (Edney and House, 11/17). The so-called "doc fix" has nevertheless been tied to reform: "A proxy fight is now shaping up around physician payment. Democrats have an incentive to … push a permanent solution through Congress," Kaiser Health News reports. Doctors gave their support – and critical momentum – to the broader House reform legislation that passed earlier this month, but it's not clear whether the support will continue without a permanent pay fix. Congress has been addressing the issue only one year at a time, leaving in place an unpopular formula that mandates the cuts. Republicans, meanwhile, are hoping to force Democrats to include the "doc fix" in their sweeping reform legislation (Weaver, 11/17). Failure to pass some form of the doc fix could mean some doctors would begin refusing to see new or current Medicare patients because the reimbursement would be so low, the Associated Press reports. "As a result, the legislation enjoys support among lawmakers in both political parties, although there has been little if any public acknowledgment of its impact on seniors enrolled in Medicare." That impact would likely mean that "[s]eniors would pay $49 billion in higher premiums over the next decade" (Espo, 11/17).

No, not that book, the other one: Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins by Robert Hazen.
Usually, I tend to read about genetics or similar (that is, when I read anything serious to begin with, which tends to be less than 10% of the time). This one is obviously related, but about the processes that came before it all began. And it also gives more of a look into the issues faced by somebody trying to do experiments in the area.
The Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit is the only conference designed to enhance collaboration between the Linux community, industry, end users and ISVs. Instead of the silo-ed developer conferences or trade shows that fill up the year's calendar, we gather leaders from each of these communities together to share knowledge, decide the course of action and accelerate the Linux platform.
If you're in the open source world, you probably don't need a lot of convincing about the high quality software that results from the open source development model. Mass collaboration coupled with vociferous peer review makes for better code and products. It just does. No matter how much of a monopoly might exist today, this collaboration cannot be duplicated within the proprietary software model.
I've written on Red Hat before and the confidence I feel in their operational strengths. It is one of the best run companies I've seen. Red Hat's leadership in the Linux space and its steadfast belief in open source software has been a key factor in Linux adoption in the enterprise. This year's numbers with Linux capturing greater than 20% of server shipments, a major success, are due in large part to Red Hat's competitiveness and hard work.
1. I get bored really easily
During the last two years, Microsoft has encountered more competition from Linux on the desktop than probably all of the other years combined. The venue? Netbooks.
Tove was cleaning out some random stuff, and came upon this Japanese model that I had bought years ago and never built up. So she told me to build it (with the perhaps implied threat that if I didn't, she'd throw it out).
Times are tough in the banking industry. According to the AP, 100,000 bank employees have been laid off over the past two years. Overall, banking industry unemployment has almost tripled and bank stocks have cratered. Even with astronomical bailout money becoming available, banks are looking for ways to consolidate.
The Linux Foundation is very excited to announce the launch of LinuxCon, a brand new annual North American technical conference. The 1st Annual LinuxCon is taking place September 21 – 25, 2009 in Portland, OR. Registration and Call for Papers are now open - details are below.
This may be a shock to everybody, but I have to admit that I'm not generally a huge fan of most Microsoft software ("No, really, Linus? Tell us more!").
But I may have to admit that I was wrong.
No, I'm not talking about Windows 7. I'm talking about Songsmith, which is clearly a true work of genius. Yes, yes, the commercials are painfully cheesy, but when used right the end result is undeniably art.

Simplifying RTI Institute
Denver, Colorado
What does successful response to intervention (RTI) look like when all the pieces come together? The underlying premise of RTI is that schools should not delay providing help for struggling students until they fall far enough behind to qualify for special education, but instead should provide timely, targeted, and systematic interventions to all students who demonstrate the need.
With unprecedented access to nationally recognized experts who have successfully implemented RTI in a variety of settings—often with limited personnel and dwindling resources—you will learn how to create a tiered system of support that includes:
- Tier 1 core instruction that ensures all students have access to rigorous essential grade level curriculum, highly effective teaching, and embedded academic/behavior support.
- Tier 2 supplemental interventions that support students in grade-level curriculum, immediate prerequisite skills, and academic/social behavior expectations.
- Tier 3 intensive interventions that develop foundational prerequisite academic skills (reading, number sense, writing, and English language) and behaviors without removing students from essential grade-level curriculum.
With a drill-down breakout approach full of hands-on activities and through interactive and highly engaging keynotes, the institute will explore how to build an intervention program by looking at the four essential elements of a successful RTI model: collective responsibility, concentrated instruction, convergent assessment, and certain access.
Expanding on the methods detailed in their best-selling books Pyramid Response to Intervention and Simplifying Response to Intervention, the presenters include specifics on how to lead the RTI process at the site and district levels. Learn how to create a proactive process to identify students who need help, place them in the proper intervention, monitor their progress, revise interventions as needed, and determine when students no longer need additional support. Each presenter will match theory with practice and offer strategies that can immediately pay big dividends for both students and staff.
Learning Outcomes

Bill Daly had this to say regarding the impact of the lockout.
"That is not going to be recouped and that's going to cost both sides," Daly told reporters in New York. "That's unfortunate but it's a reality of where we are."
Donald Fehr, head of the Players Association, responded as you would expect.
"If this is a loss, this is a loss that is entirely of their own making," Fehr told The Canadian Press in an interview. "They're the ones that did this, nobody told them to."
The truth is both sides have lost. The NHL lost respect, revenue the needs to continue to function. The players have lost money. They lost time in their playing career, and that cannot be replaced.
A NHL player has a definitive length of a career, when their hand eye coordination is at its peak, your legs can recover from 20 minutes a game of play, and your body can absorb the jarring hits a game delivers. Even just the schedule of practice, travel to city, sleep in a new bed, practice, then game at night repeated over a five month schedule. The family back home is missing you, you are trying to play at the high level needed, and you start to notice the affects of age.
You think back to when you were playing major juniors or college, knowing it was a matter of time until some NHL General Manager gave you a chance and selected you in the NHL draft.
You cannot get back seconds of time, and here you have the arrogance of the owners canceling the preseason due to their inability to stop offering decade long 100 million dollar contracts that will cripple their team and sink the league.
The league will play hockey someday. Just with new faces and familiar ones with diminished skills.

This is a certain kind of America.
Parse: It is a funny place and time that produces men as disparate as McCarthy and Murrow. It seems of a thing unconnected to us. As Orwell can appear also; wide-collars, chalk-stripes, brilliantine. But then Murdoch.
The circle is unbroken. Widening.

Robotic Assistants Could Have Helped Columbia
February 10, 2003
If Columbia's tiles or wing section were damaged on liftoff, that fear could have been allayed by in-flight robotic inspection.
The AERCam-SPRINT (Autonomous Extra-vehicular Robotic Camera) flew on STS-87 in 1997. It is a small, hand-deployed and captured remote controled inspection tool that carries its own avionics and nitrogen-gas propulsion. Feasibility studies have been done by NASA to fly AERCam underneath the vehicle to image tiles.

"Beautiful person….?"
"You sure that's us that you're talking about?"
"Beautiful person….?"
"You sure that's us that you're talking about?"
D: I really want more people to play with Zero…anyone want to give him the love and hate he needs? XD
The protector side of Zero didn't surprise in any way the pure-blood, since she knew well her father. He was protective concerning everything and that was a trace of him that Akane loved a lot, because she always felt safe with her father around. "I know that with Chichi around nobody will dare to touch me, in the mother or my brother." She affirmed smiling softly.
"I see, so it was equally charming. I wonder if Okaasan didn't actually confuse the two. Since you guys were the same " Akane said chuckling. It was funny imagine the scene in her mind. But surely Yuuki knew exactly which of the two was Zero. After all her father was unmistakable, by his peculiar temperament, unique and inimitable. The vampire reddened slightly at feel the gentle kiss on her forehead, followed by a pet on her hair. Zero could be incredibly sweet, that was another thing she loved, the way how he demonstrated the sentiments for her. "Over time we learn new things, we change our behaviors in order to be better people. I think that was something that mother taught you, my brother and I just came complement your life and sedimentary such your change of attitude. I'm sure Okaasan are happy by you've slightly changed your way of being. At least when she was with you, her happiness is bright."
The idea of going with the seatbelt didn't please nothing the vampire, however, she knew perfectly well that it was for their own safety. Zero would never consent she go without her seatbelt. "Hai I think you're right, I don't want see mother angry, when Okaasan gets angry seems that her personality changes. I think I prefer to avoid it." Akane affirmed, trying to straighten up as comfortably as possible with the seatbelt. "Questions … Anou, I haven't. Do you have any questions for me? "
He chuckled softly and nodded at her. "That's right. No one is going to touch my babies. I will protect you guys with my life if it is necessary." He told her before he glanced at her when she spoke again about his brother. "Well, not really. She knew I had a twin brother but heard that he was presumed dead of course. But I am curious now if she ever did." He said as he started to turn out of their driveway.
He smiled at that thought. Yuki and their children really did effect him and he became a much gentler and kinder man than he was before this mess but he grew up and matured rather quickly over the many years. Learned things and personal life lessons taught him and molded him into what he was today.
"I agree and your mother has always been bright. Always making sure everyone is smiling. We have to remember to keep her happy too because keeping everyone happy is a big job for her." He said as he drove into the city where they would need to go shopping for the supplies they needed. The silver haired male glanced again at Akane and laughed softly when she had agreed to not seeing her mother angry.
"Yeah your mom can be pretty scary I tend to try to avoid it because she can be very moody but, in the end I do try to trace why she is so and fix it and no sweetie I don't have any questions for you maybe once we get there but at the moment no." He said as he paused in his sentence but another smile writing across those lips. "I have a feeling your mother will love her birthday this year."
Zero's family life was somewhat traumatic at least for Akane. Now she understood perfectly the anger he had for pure-bloods. Made perfect sense and was comprehensible. Akane probably would have reacted the same way if she had in his father's place. "I now understand your anger.— Gomenasai for what happened to your family. I am sorry not have met your brother. I'm sure he must be exactly as you." Akane commented smiling sweetly. The vampire tried to imagine how would be Zero's brother, equal, similar, same personality and temperament or softer?
The pure-blood felt her hand being grabbed by Zero's hand and at hearing his comforting words her smile increased in size upon her face. "It's great to know that.— You'll always be my father, no matter what. Because Chichi always been present in my life. Kaname-sama, I don't know much about him, but I think I can never look at him as a father. I don't feel angry at him, I respect Kaname-sama.— But Chichi are my dad, unique and genuine." Akane said, pressing a soft kiss on the visage of Zero. It was a tender kiss, sweet and sentimental. The vampire had no problems in demonstrating her feelings concerning Zero. They were obvious. It was obvious all the love, care and devotion she felt.
"I see, so Okaasan really changed you somehow. It's wonderful to see your relationship. I'm very happy for the family I've. Chichi seems happier now." The vampire told, sitting comfortably on the seat of the car and putting the seat belt as Zero had said. "Anou, this is really necessary? Chichi always drive carefully, I'm feeling tight. "
He shook his head at her. "No need to apologize sweetie. It was a long time ago. I'm over it even though I miss my family…but now I have you, your brother and your mother…my family that I will protect with every bone in my body." He told her with such determination. There was no way he would let anything or anyone hurt his precious ones.
He then chuckled again and nodded. "A little bit but not as mean as your papa. He had a little bit longer hair but looked identical to me." He said before he heard her words about Kaname. It made him happy that she felt that way. He truly found happiness for once in his life. He loved his life now and would never trade it away for anything. So, he leaned over and kissed her forehead softly and placed his hand on top of her head softly. "You're right. I am much much happier now than I was then. It's thanks to you guys making me even better." He then paused seeing she questioned him telling her to put on the belt and he smiled at her.
"Yes ma'am! I know you're a vampire and all but that doesn't mean I don't want to make sure your safe. Also your mother would have my head on a platter if her little cubs were harmed. Your momma is scary when she's angry." He said as he remembered a few times he witnessed her mad. The silverette then moved his hand down to the shift and changed gears to reverse so he could pull out the driveway.
"Do you have any questions for me sweetheart? About anything." He mentioned while he continued out of the driveway.
"I see.— Chichi began to hate her more when she awakened to her true condition.— You were against her being a vampire. I imagine that must have been painful …See the person you loved most become a creature lifeless. Because Chichi knew the pain that would bring to her. Demo, was the fate of Okaasan and that could never be changed." Akane told, trying better understand the entire situation. The parent's love life was much more complex than she thought.
"When Okaasan awakened as a vampire, was when you saw your only light fade away forever, and as such the rage for Kaname-sama increased. What is somehow understandable.— I'm very happy with the family I've. Even Chichi not being my real father, I love you as such. No matter what I'm nor the blood. My dad will always be you." The vampire wanted make clear that the feelings for Zero were never going to change, even if he isn't her real father. For the pure-blood, the most important was the feelings that bound them.
"Anou, Chichi didn't feel hatred from me when I was born?— After all I'm the result of another relationship and a pure-blood exactly as Okaasan, and her ancestress family.— Demo, my brother is sometimes unbearable so I think I can make an idea of how you were. I wonder what mother saw you, Chichi." Akane told, smiling. Of course she knew that Zero was much more than flaws.
The vampire looked intently at the photograph that his father had on hand and smiled spontaneously. It was impossible don't smile when looking at the photograph, for sure, put it on the cake was an excellent idea which Akane wasn't going to waste in any way. "Kawaii! You, even so, was charming but daunting." She said. "Okaasan appeared happiest when was human. She looks incredibly happy with you, in this photo. I think it will be a brilliant idea place it on the cake, I'm sure many memories will come to surfaces. Fond memories between the two, so could be that we bring a little her humanity back."
Carefully, the vampire sat down inside the car, hoping that Zero did the same. "I think we should put this idea into practice." She said smiling at Zero.
"Well…it wasn't that my light was taken away I just didn't like vampires back then. My….my mother and father were killed by a Pureblood…and she turned me and faked my twin brothers death. I ended up losing him too eventually. He had me drink away his life to make me stronger even though I didn't want to really." He said as he then got in the car and reached over to touch her hand.
"Sweetie. You aremy daughter. I don't care if you're not mine by blood but I raised you….and I love you very much. I use to hate your birth father but eventually I let go of those feelings before you were conceived sweetheart." He said looking at her in the eyes. He wanted her to know that she was loved and always to him in his heart thought of her as his ever since he found out that she was pregnant.
He then smiled at her and chuckled. "I was a mean ass when I was a kid. Definitely was like your brother. I don't know what your mother saw in me but ever since we met after my parents died, your grandfather took me in and adopted me, I fell in love with her. I wanted her gentle hands and she always smiled….because she wanted me to smile cause I never did. My smiles were 'rare' as she would call it." He told her as he shut the door to the driver side and then put the key in to start the car. "Seat belts." He told her as he put on his own and waited for her with a stern but protective stare.

Yay! Zero we finished our replies :DDD now I hope we get asks and stuff >^< even though we only have 59 followers.
"Sometimes I don't understand you….
A spark of amusement could be seen in Kajika's violet hues upon hearing that. 'Burnt the covers'? How ironic, given the fact that she was able to control fire freely, and by the expression the male was giving her, she couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped her lips.
"Sure, call her out. I'd love to meet her," the phoenix hybrid replied, somehow even more eager and curious now to meet Zero's little fellow.
Zero lifted his hand up to his mouth and put his thumb and his pointing finger in his mouth to do a loud whistle that could be heard for miles. About ten minutes later you could hear and see a little black and orange puppy with three bones on its back and around its ankles and a skull on its head running towards them with joy.
"There she is come here Mayu!" He called for her as he patted his thigh as she ran up to him and jumped up on him happily till she then saw the woman beside him and she stopped to look at her.
Worried that the woman was here to hurt her master she got real close to Zero and stared at her. Zero petted her head and made a soft 'shh' noise and she looked up to him. "Mayu she's nice don't worry she won't hurt me" He told her hoping she'd calm down in which, she did and her little tail began to wag at Kajika.

Dwight Howard made his first appearance against the Los Angeles Lakers since leaving them for the Houston Rockets during this past summer's free agency. And, of course, Kobe Bryant was asked questions regarding Howard.
"I think he'll have a great year. He's always very determined to be more of an offensive player. Here in Houston he'll have the opportunity to do that. He always wanted to compete with some of the all-time greats, the Chamberlains and Shaqs and Olajuwons and so forth. This year should be the year where he starts putting up those kind of numbers — 25, 26 (points per game), stuff like that."
Kobe also said that he talks to Dwight Howard everyday, sarcastically, of course.
Another topic that came up was Kobe's injury. Bryant said that he didn't have a timetable yet, but was working as hard as he could to get back.
"The hardest thing is the conditioning and getting back and playing at a high level and being able to run and play at a high level for 48 minutes. (It) is tough, man. You really have to push yourself conditioning wise to get in shape … get down to feeling really comfortable, feeling strong, working through the fatigue first of running straight forward. Once the endurance is there you start doing more lateral things."
Hopefully the Black Mamba can return sooner, rather than later. The Lakers have been able to stay afloat without him so far, but no one knows how sustainable that is. It will be nice to have Kobe Bryant back.

Common Council takes action on long -time problem:
By Josh Shaw
Residents of Syracuse no longer have to worry about picking up their ex-homeowner's water tab.
The Syracuse Common Council unanimously passed an amendment to the water rules and regulations law that will add unpaid water bill charges onto a person's real property tax bill every year. The amendment will help residents avoid paying water charges that do not belong to them, according to Councilor Ryan McMahon.
On numerous occasions, people would move into houses only to find out they inherited thousands of dollars in delinquent water bill charges, McMahon said. The new provision would eliminate this scenario.
"People inherit old water charges all the time and it is troublesome that this is something that hasn't been addressed until now," McMahon said. "This is a step in the right direction."
The amendment will help the city recover some of the $9 million owed to it in delinquent water charges, according to Councilor Kathleen Joy.
"This is a great start to solving this problem and will be a great collection tool for the city," Joy said. "We haven't had any teeth in the past to collect and it hurt us financially."
Under the current law, the city of Syracuse has little authority to punish people who do not pay their water bill on time. These bills can pile up over the years with some individuals owing as much as $5,000.
But effective April 15, every time an individual does not pay their water bill, that charge will be added to his or her property taxes, forcing him or her to pay the water bill annually.
Residents with overdue water charges who use an escrow agent -- a neutral third party who holds documents and funds in a transfer of property -- will have their water bills paid automatically along with their property taxes.

Portable speakers with a kick
Advantages: Relatively powerful
Disadvantages: A bit big
..., the sound quality of those things is like playing your music with a plastic cup and string, and you could very easily break wind and drown out the music, so pitiful is the volume. What you need are some active(powered) speakers, which will plug into the wall and give you the quality and volume that you need.
The Goodmans Active 45 Speakers are a godsend. 20 watts PMPO, they?re not exactly going to blow...

Review of Goodmans - Goodmans Active 45 Speakers
Goodmans Budget LCD TV - Not the Best of the Bunch
Advantages: Looks Good - Cheap
Disadvantages: Lack of Connectivity and Technology. Universal Remote Codes Do Not Work Fully
...aren't really up to the job and Goodmans would do well in the future to upgade the speakers used in their TV's even if it ends up adding a couple of pounds to the final cost it would be worth it.
The only in-built function of this TV worth mentioning that I can really think of is the in-built Freeview receiver which is the one thing that drew us to this TV in the first place...

Review of Goodmans LD2667D
Goodmans gracious me!! (UPDATE -PANTS!!)
Advantages: Good price, attractive system, good sound
Disadvantages: Doesn't last 12 months!
...We treated our youngest to a new CD/radio for her birthday. Her old Sanyo one had broken ? the CD just died after 13 months! So we had a good look around and not wanting to spend a fortune we went for the Goodmans 1002 micro system from Argos. It cost us £64.99, not a bad price I feel. Now available for £59.99!!
The unit its-self is very attractive, being primarily silver in colour...

Another season is over. This year the Canadiens came almost close enough to taste it. It has been 21 years since the Bleu, Blanc et Rouge have been champions. It has been 21 years since the club has played a game in the Stanley Cup Final. In 1993, as it is well-documented, the Canadiens won the Lord's Cup in a 5-game series against Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings. They were 14 years removed from their 1976-1979 championship streak. It was the longest drought the team had ever suffered. The longest before that was a 13-year wait which was ended in 1944, when Toe Blake was still a player and scored the Cup-winning goal in a sweep of the Blackhawks. Between the end of the Habs' streak in '79 and their last cup in '93, they had one Cup win and one berth in the final. I suppose during those years the days of total league dominance were over. But championships are what matter and the glory days truly ended in '93. It was no longer Montreal's league.The Wayne Gretzky trade is one of the most significant moments is the history of professional sport, in particular the National Hockey League. ESPN 30 for 30 and Peter Berg made a fantastic documentary about it in 2009 called Kings Ransom. The Great One's landing in L.A. in the '88-'89 season changed hockey in The Golden State forever. Fans and even celebrities flocked The Forum in Inglewood to get a glimpse of who was quickly becoming the hottest guy in town. Hockey exploded in the City of Angels and seats that had long been empty were being fought for. In only the next 5 years, 2 NHL teams were founded in California: The San Jose Sharks in '91 and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in '93. California is one of only four U.S. states with more than one hockey team. Florida is one of the four, and both of its teams also joined the NHL within the same 5 years – '92 and '93. The other 2 are New York and Pennsylvania. That kind of growth was unprecedented back then and would still be today. And it is not as if the teams two California-expansion teams have been simply holding places in a rank . It took the Ducks only 10 years to reach their first final and 14 years to win their first Cup. The Sharks have been among the strongest teams in the league since '02-'03, when they last had a losing record (in the regular season). All this to say, their seems to be a new hockey kingdom these days. The Los Angeles Kings and their fans have gotten quite used to winning over the past little while. Now, do not mistake my Canadien faith for arrogance. Two is a lot. But it is not rafters of Cups. That being said, it is 2 in 3 years and that is in fact a remarkable feat. The celebration on the ice at the Staples Center last night seemed strangely routine – familiar. It felt as if the 2013 Cup did not happen. That could be because of the continuity within the Kings organization, as their roster was hardly altered from their first Cup to this one. They decided to grow their team with the group they currently have. The word "dynasty" creeps into my mind. Not so much because of the number of championships won, but because of how many more could well come.
Hockey and the beach have never seemed a proper fit. It never felt right. However, I am starting to think that a beach-side house and an all-season wardrobe are good compliments to the game played on ice. Perhaps it is good for the soul. Leaving the arena and feeling the ocean breeze and hearing the palm trees creek and rustle. Nice cars and occasional run-ins with celebrities at dinner. At one time anonymity would be included in this paradise, but that is quickly turning into recognizability for the Kings. I imagine there must be something right about the combination of sun and ice given the success that has recently been born from it. What we can all be certain of for the moment though, is there is no city more fit to be home of the Stanley Cup. The Kings truly are the kings.
