New Timing System Introduced
We announced in our previous newsletter the news about a new timing partner – RaceTec System (previously known as Winning Time).
This new timing system will be introduced for the 2011 event and will be used for a minimum of the next five years. Those runners who already have a RaceTec (or Winning Time) chip can use it for next year's event. Those who don't have one of these chips will need to buy one for R80. The chips are usually R110 however the race office will be subsidising them by R30. The RaceTec System is the same one used by the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour so if you've done the Argus that chip is valid and can be used for Two Oceans.
The system offers state of the art technology that will make the processing of results and times far easier and more user-friendly, as well as far more cost effective. It is also used extensively and successfully at various other races around the country, including the 94.7 Cycle Challenge in Johannesburg. When we first introduced a timing chip system 14 years ago we encountered a massive outcry, but over time, the runners embraced the new technology and it has become an integral part of our event.
While we appreciate that the introduction of new chips may be a slight inconvenience for some, we know that runners will see the bigger picture, as using this system will benefit them and the race in the long term by managing costs down and passing on the savings to them.
Please visit our website at www.twooceansmarathon.org.za/news/racetec for more information on the RaceTec System.

Embolectomy Gets No Help from Imaging
Honolulu — Widely used in clinical practice despite a lack of evidence establishing efficacy, endovascular therapy has once again proven ineffective at improving outcomes when put to rigorous testing in patients with ischemic stroke.
Silent Afib May Be Behind Unexplained Stroke
Honolulu — Long-term cardiac monitoring of patients with stroke of unknown origin can better identify subclinical atrial fibrillation compared with standard testing, the EMBRACE randomized trial found.
'Time Is Brain' Also Applies to Endovascular Tx
Honolulu — A substudy of the IMS-III trial has quantitatively shown for the first time that delays in endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke are linearly correlated with worse outcomes.
Imaging No Help in Endovascular Tx for Stroke
Honolulu — Endovascular therapy in ischemic stroke patients was not superior to standard care, even when advanced imaging pinpointed viable tissue to target, the phase 2 MR RESCUE trial found.
Surgery Plus tPA Boosts ICH Outcomes
Honolulu — A minimally invasive procedure paired with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to remove blood clots in brain tissue after hemorrhagic stroke appears safe and effective, and may even lead to cost savings, a phase II trial suggested.
Antiplatelet Duo Helps After Minor Stroke
Honolulu — In the months immediately after a minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), adding clopidogrel to aspirin therapy cuts the risk of another stroke, a Chinese trial showed.
Lowering BP May Cut Risk of Recurrent Stroke
Honolulu — Treating patients with lacunar strokes to a systolic blood pressure target of less then 130 mm Hg was feasible and may have prevented recurrent strokes, a randomized trial showed.
Southern Diet Has Tight Grip on 'Stroke Belt'
Honolulu — Deep-fried chicken, sweet tea, and other Southern fare may help explain why residents of the Southeastern U.S. historically have had about a 20% greater risk of stroke compared.
More Unfriendly Data Clouds Stroke Therapy
Honolulu — Another study has come up short when trying to demonstrate the superiority of an intra-arterial approach for breaking up brain clots compared with standard systemic IV thrombolysis.
Pediatric Stroke, Seizures Linked
Honolulu — Pediatric patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages commonly present with seizures, but that doesn't necessarily confer a long-term risk of epilepsy, researchers found.
Clot Remover Holds Up in Another Study
Honolulu — The FDA-approved Solitaire FR (Flow Restoration) device was successful at opening blocked vessels in patients with an acute ischemic stroke and resulted in good outcomes, a nonrandomized study.
Vorapaxar No Help in Ischemic Stroke
Honolulu — In patients with a recent history of ischemic stroke, adding the investigational antiplatelet vorapaxar to standard therapy for secondary prevention had no effect on vascular events and increased bleeding, a subanalysis of a randomized trial showed.
Lowering BP No Help in Brain Bleeds
Honolulu — Aggressive blood pressure lowering did not help reduce the size of brain bleeds in patients with intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke, a randomized clinical trial found.
Brain Bleeds Linked to Race
Honolulu — The high rate of intracerebral hemorrhage among young Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders appears to be related to race, researchers suggested.
Cocaine-Induced Stroke Often Deadly
Honolulu — Among patients with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, recent cocaine use was associated with a greater chance of dying in the hospital, researchers found.
Indirect Costs High After Pediatric Stroke
Honolulu — When a child has an ischemic stroke the entire family often pays the price, researchers found.
Intra-Arterial Clot Busting No Better than IV
Honolulu — Attacking a brain clot directly through an artery did not improve outcomes compared with standard intravenous tissue plasminogen activator therapy, a clinical trial found.
Study: Check Brain Blood Flow in TBI
Honolulu — Soldiers with traumatic brain injuries have high rates of cerebral vasospasm and intracranial hypertension detected with transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, researchers found.
Is Pot Smoking a Stroke Trigger?
Honolulu — Middle age stroke patients were twice as likely to be pot smokers than healthy middle age controls, researchers found.
Sun, Sand Add to Science at Stroke Meeting
Honolulu — Results of some of the trials presented at the International Stroke Conference here this week have the potential to significantly change clinical practice, according to conference chair Steven M. Greenberg, MD, PhD — and the venue's good too.

13 Ways to Save on Your Health

5. Shop for Your Worst Symptom
Medications marketed to relieve multiple symptoms at once such as colds and flu and menstrual relief can cost 200% more than garden-variety pain relievers and decongestants. Instead, treat your worst symptom (head pain? nasal congestion?) and reach for a basic remedy.

It's really a thrill to be featured on the cover of a magazine.
And to have a multi-page, color article.
But 17 pages?!
Well, that's … almost embarrassing.
Well, after all, it is "RollerCoaster Magazine," and The Voyage is a rather extreme coaster, so maybe ACE isn't exactly overdoing it.
That's right, RollerCoaster Magazine is the official publication of the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
The editorial staff asked for my help in putting together a feature story after The Voyage premiered last season, so I enlisted the help of Will plus the four Gravity Group engineers. They each provided an article on a different topic related to the design and construction of The Voyage.
With your permission, we'll get dramatic and cheesy for a minute: This article includes some never-before-released photos and rare design graphics. (Rare, because we didn't use them…)
If you're not an ACE member but you'd like to purchase a copy ($8 per copy, which includes postage), fill out this form and specify "Issue 101."

Minute of Silence at 2:50 p.m.
April 22, 2013Dear Members of the Brandeis Community,
Mayor Thomas M. Menino, Governor Deval L. Patrick, and One Fund Boston are calling upon Boston and all communities across the Commonwealth to join together in a Moment of Silence Monday afternoon, exactly one week following the Boston Marathon bombings.
The minute of silence will take place at 2:50 p.m. to honor the victims of the attacks and their families.
I ask that all students, faculty and staff take a moment, wherever you are, to observe this minute of silence together.
I also would like to take this opportunity to express my deep thanks to all of those who worked to instill a sense of calm and security. I have spoken and corresponded with a number of students, faculty, staff, and parents whose reactions confirmed my view that the Brandeis community is truly special.
I am proud to be part of the Brandeis family.Frederick M. Lawrence

Reactive arthritis is one type of arthritis which affects the joints of the body. The immune system "reacts" to a bacterial infection which strikes the urinary tract genitals or gastrointestinal system. This reaction can be puzzling because symptoms can occur after the infection clears. Another name for this disorder is Reiter's Syndrome. It may also lead to inflammation of the eyes mouth and other organs as well. Here is a look at symptoms of this condition and effective treatments.
Symptoms Of This Type Of Arthritis
A person may feel symptoms of this disorder a few weeks following the initial trigger. They may be felt in the muscles reproductive system or through outward manifestations on the skin.
- Musculoskeletal: When bones and muscles are affected a person may feel pain in the joints heels and lower back. Swelling in the ankles fingers and toes are also possible.
- Urinary And Reproductive Issues: A person may develop pain while urinating inflammation of the cervix or prostrate and an increased need to empty the bladder.
- Outward Signs: The eyes mouth and skin may develop inflammation rashes and ulcers.
Causes And Risk Factors Associated With Reactive Arthritis
There are many circumstances which may lead to this form of arthritis.
- Genetics: Scientists have found a common gene which gives a person a predisposition to this disorder. Most times it will take a specific infection to trigger the disorder.
- Venereal Diseases: The most common bacteria linked to this disorder is a venereal variety. This means that having sex where bacteria is transmitted may lead to the onset of the condition.
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Dysentery and bacteria like Salmonella and Shigella are all known triggers to this condition.
How To Diagnose This Arthritis
There is no lab test that can confirm the presence of this arthritis however many blood tests will be performed. One test will look for the HLA-B27 gene which is present in numerous people with the disorder. Tests may also be used to rule out other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. A doctor will carefully examine the patient for skin issues and range of joint motion. X-Rays may also be performed to get a view of tissue bone and cartilage. Fluid samples may also be collected from joints to rule out other issues as well.
Treatment For This Kind Of Arthritis
To treat bacterial infections that cause the problem as well as to keep symptoms under control a doctor will prescribe an antibiotic and possibly:
- Corticosteroids: These drugs are injected into the affected joints to lower inflammation.
- NSAID Pain Relievers: These over the counter remedies are effective at lowering pain and inflammation as well.
Physical therapy may also be used to teach a person the best exercises that can heighten joint movement. One of the most popular ways to exercise with this condition is in the water. Water aerobics is low impact and may help to strengthen necessary muscles.
Ways To Prevent This Arthritis
Since many cases of this condition are possibly due to genetic factors the only way to prevent the disorder is to lower exposure to elements which trigger symptoms. It is always smart to properly store and prepare foods at the right temperature. This will avoid bacteria from forming and being ingested. It is also wise to practice safe sex.
Arthritis can be a very serious and painful condition. There are many causes of the condition. Reiter's Syndrome is a special form which is triggered by infection and is influenced by a specific gene. In the end most reactive arthritis can be treated with medication and prevented with a few precautions.

Blondie to Release First Album Since 2003
Iconic new-wavers Blondie will release "Panic of Girls," their first album since 2003's "The Curse of Blondie," with a UK release scheduled for June 1. Founding members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and Clem Burke and new members Tommy Kessler and Matt Katz-Bohen will appear on the record, in addition to Beirut's Zach Condon on a cover of the Beirut track "Sunday Smile."
She sounded fine on the live Isle of Wight clips. I don't like what the producers did to her voice on this clip. Still, I don't like any of the voices on the radio nowadays and I'm sure it has a lot to do with what happens in the studio. Maybe younger people who are used to that will like it.
the world didn't end today but we still have rapture.
Blondie on Beyonce, Longevity & New Album 'Girls Of Panic'
Groundbreaking New York band Blondie has been pushing genre boundaries for nearly 40 years. Led by iconic frontwoman Debbie Harry, Blondie was a pioneering force in the new wave and punk scenes of the late '70s and early '80s, quick to experiment with sounds from reggae and rap. The band has been awarded for its adventurousness with international acclaim, four chart-topping Billboard Hot 100 singles, more than 40 million albums sold (according to Nielsen SoundScan) and a 2006 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After some delay, the band released its ninth studio album, "Panic of Girls," in the U.K. this past spring. The release arrives in stateside Sept. 13, both physically and digitally, on Noble ID, the band's own imprint, with distribution by EMI. Harry, now 66 and going by Deborah, spoke to Billboard about the new album, the industry and staying ahead of the curve.
I like the new song. Good to see Debbie, Chris, and Clem still together. Love Debbie's "Dolly" hairstyle.
New wave/post-punk pioneers Blondie recently released Panic of Girls in the UK, their third album since reuniting in 1997, and ninth overall. The album includes the single "Mother," which they recently performed live and acoustic from Abbey Road. Check that video out, which includes an interview below. The music video, which B-52 Kate Pierson makes a cameo in, for the track is below too.
Panic of Girls now has a US release date of September 13 via the band's own imprint. They will head out on a North American tour in September and October in support of the album's stateside release. The tour hits NYC on September 12 and 13 at Highline Ballroom.

Blondie - "Mother" Live Acoustic From Abbey Road + Interview
Blondie - Sunday Smile (Beirut Cover)
Blondie - "A Rose By Any Name" featuring Beth Ditto
Oooh, I encountered her once. And she talked to me!
So I'm walking this down long hallway when suddenly this rambling blond chick walks out one of the random doors along this hallway. She's gibbering on and on and on until she finally turns around, takes one good look at me, and blurts out, "Oh, I thought you were someone else."
I gave her the finger when she wasn't looking.
And that's my Blondie story.
She is sooo petite!
Love the new song with Beth. Will be seeing Blondie and X (another one of my favorite bands) in September!
I saw Blondie a couple of years ago at Lovebox Festival. The band were absolutely brilliant, and she sang her little heart out. That was SUCH a good day.. Beth Ditto, Blondie, Soft Cell, Scissor Sisters, Kelis.. Ah, Lovebox, I'l be back in the park in July for more fun to be had and memories to be made...
..There's Things I Haven't Told You.. I Go Out Late At Night..
And If I Was To Tell You.. You'd See My Different Side..
Unfortunately EMI have blocked the video from being view in England. Odd.
..There's Things I Haven't Told You.. I Go Out Late At Night..
And If I Was To Tell You.. You'd See My Different Side..
She's just goddit!
..There's Things I Haven't Told You.. I Go Out Late At Night..

My favorite Blondie song of all time!
Miss Guy feat. Deborah Harry - God Save New York
Debbie Harry is considering calling time on Blondie, says bandmate Clem Burke
But Burke says 'nothing is finalised yet' and the band are due to release a new album later this year (2013)
Blondie drummer Clem Burke has revealed that singer Debbie Harry is considering bringing the band to an end after 40 years.
"Debbie is 11 years older than the rest of us, so it's on her mind," 57-year-old Burke told the Daily Mail. "We've tried to keep it going for as long as possible, but it's not just up to me. Nothing is finalised yet, but obviously there's no Blondie without Debbie Harry."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Harry told the newspaper: "They are in a hiatus at the moment. They will do some tour dates next year. Nothing is confirmed yet."
Blondie completed an extensive UK tour earlier this month (July), including a set at Isle Of Wight Festival, and have a run of North American dates scheduled during September and October. The band are due to release a new album called 'Ghosts Of Download' later this year and the lead single, 'A Rose By Any Name', which features Gossip singer Beth Ditto, was released on iTunes last month.
The legendary band formed in New York in 1974 and went on hiatus eight years later, shortly after the release of their sixth album 'The Hunter'. Since reforming in 1997, the band have toured regularly and released three studio albums: 'No Exit' (1997), 'The Curse Of Blondie' (2003) and 'Panic Of Girls' (2011).

Blondie's Chris Stein Reveals Trove of Rare Seventies Photos
Debbie Harry, Joan Jett talk punk underground at Los Angeles opening
On August 9th, Blondie guitarist Chris Stein returned to the decade that launched his band, opening an exhibition of his photography at the Morrison Hotel Gallery, Sunset Marquis Hotel, in West Hollywood. Debbie Harry, Joan Jett and other survivors of the Seventies underground music scenes in New York and L.A. depicted in the pictures joined him to remember how it all began.
"Chris was the one who taught me how to relax in front of the camera," Harry recalled to Rolling Stone, sitting with her ex-boyrfriend Stein as guests crowded into the small gallery. "I didn't think I would really enjoy doing it until he started shooting me. We had an intimacy. It was never that serious. It was just fun to do."
500 Greatest Albums: Blondie's Parallel Lines
Some of those same pictures were among the first that many fans ever saw of Harry, who began appearing on international magazine covers once Blondie exploded into the mainstream with their 1978 album, Parallel Lines. "It was a really wonderful time, a lot of great music, and I was living my dream," Harry said. "I was in a touring, working rock & roll band that really got up people's noses."

Blondie - "Sugar On The Side"
Blondie celebrates 40th anniversary with new album, greatest hits collection
Debbie Harry's 68 and Chris Stein's 64, but Blondie's 40. To celebrate, the legendary New York outfit has put together a special double-disc release and slapped on a confusing title: Blondie 4(0) Ever.

Recorded at New York's Mercy Sound Studios, the followup to 2011′s Panic of Girls comes stocked with 12 originals and a cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's big hit, "Relax". Last year's single "A Rose By Any Name", featuring Gossip's Beth Ditto, also joins the bunch.

Patton Oswalt plays a hardcore New York Giants football fan who comes to terms with his life after being beat up by his favorite player.
Big Fan -- Paul Aufiero, a hardcore New York Giants football fan, struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player.
Big Fan -- A hardcore New York Giants football fan struggles to deal with the consequences when he is beaten up by his favorite player.
A football fan's meeting with his idol takes an unexpected turn.
Trailer for Big Fan.
In a startling performance certain to be talked about, comedian Patton Oswalt makes his dramatic-lead debut as Paul Aufiero, an obsessive New York Giants fan whose chance encounter with his hero unexpectedly ends in violence. The darkly funny drama, which co-stars Kevin Corrigan and Michael Rapaport, was lensed by acclaimed cinematographer Michael Simmonds.
Paul Aufiero (PATTON OSWALT), a 35-year-old parking garage attendant from Staten Island, is the self-described world s biggest New York Giants fan. He lives at home with his mother (MARCIA JEAN KURTZ), spending his off hours calling in to local sports-radio station 760 The Zone, where he rants in support of his beloved team, often against his mysterious on-air rival, Eagles fan Philadelphia Phil (MICHAEL RAPAPORT). His family berates him for doing nothing with his life, but they don t understand the depth of his love of the Giants or the responsibility his fandom carries. One night, Paul and his best friend Sal (KEVIN CORRIGAN) spot Giants star linebacker Quantrell Bishop (JONATHAN HAMM) at a gas station in their neighborhood. They impulsively follow his limo into Manhattan, to a strip club, where they hang in the background, agog at their hero. Paul cautiously decides to approach him, stepping into the rarefied air of football stardom and things do not go as planned. The fallout of this chance encounter brings Paul s world crashing down around him as his family, the team, the media and the authorities engage in a tug of war over Paul, testing his allegiances and calling into question everything he believes in. Meanwhile, the Giants march toward a late-season showdown with the Eagles, unaware that sometimes the most brutal struggles take place far from the field of play.

Actress Geena Davis, center, smiles a she waits to be escorted into the Assembly by Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare, left, and Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Monday, March 4, 2013. Davis says remarks �containing disrespect for women� from the host of last month�s Academy Awards ceremony overshadowed the win of an animated film with a strong female character. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Academy Award winner Geena Davis on Monday waded into the ongoing controversy over this year's Oscars ceremony by saying host Seth MacFarlane's routine was disrespectful to women, particularly the performers who were being honored.
The "Thelma & Louise" star said MacFarlane's much-criticized routine last month overshadowed the win of an animated film with a strong female character.
"It's a shame that that triumph was enveloped in an awards ceremony containing disrespect for women," Davis told members of the California Assembly during a ceremony in Sacramento. "But it helps illustrate how tone-deaf we can still be regarding the status of women."
She commended "Brave," which won best animated picture, as setting a positive example for girls.
Davis, who won a best supporting actress Oscar for "The Accidental Tourist" in 1988, was in the state capital as one of 11 California women honored for their achievements.
She is chairwoman of state Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and founded a nonprofit that promotes gender equality in the media.
Last week, two female state lawmakers sent a letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences asking it to condemn MacFarlane's quips about nude scenes and the attractiveness of several female actresses as degrading toward women. At one point during the Oscars ceremony, MacFarlane performed a song about "boobs" and referenced several rape scenes among his list of movies with actresses appearing topless.
The academy issued a general statement defending MacFarlane and saying the award show is about "creative freedom."
Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, a Santa Barbara Democrat who co-authored the letter, said Monday that she was disappointed the academy did not address her concerns.
"I might say after last Sunday's Academy Awards, we need you more than ever," said Jackson, referring to Davis' work on gender issues as she introduced the actress and other honorees on the Senate floor.
In her remarks to Assembly members, Davis said much work remains to ensure equal opportunities for young women. The state commission she leads is focused on the areas of women and families in the military, in business, health and safety, education, and gender equality in the media.
Davis also referenced Lavonne "Pepper" Paire-Davis, a women's baseball league star in the 1940s and the inspiration for "A League of Their Own." The Los Angeles native, who passed away last month, once described playing baseball as being as second-nature to her as breathing, she said.
"Every girl in California should be able to pursue a dream that's as natural to her as breathing," Davis said. "We need to support them to make sure they have the messages and the tools to get there."

All herps require two hides per habitat, one on the hot side and another on the cold side allowing your herps to regulate their body temperature.
Shop all Reptile Habitat Accessories.
Please click on "More Information" for cleaning tips.
Remove the contents from your terrarium. The best products for cleaning your herp's habitat are those specifically designed to be herp-safe. Otherwise, use plain soap and water or mild dishwashing detergent carefully diluted. Be sure to rinse all surfaces with hot water until all suds are gone, and do not use any products that contain phenol or pine scent. After washing, you must also disinfect and sterilize all surfaces with chlorine or ammonia. However, both chlorine and ammonia are highly toxic to your herp, so exercise absolute care to remove all residues before replacing your pet in its newly cleaned home. Be sure to thoroughly clean all equipment, sponges, buckets, and sinks to prevent cross-contamination. To minimize the danger of Salmonella infection, wear gloves and protective eyewear as you clean your reptile's enclosure.

- All the major food groups in the Paleo diet
- Which foods to buy (and where to buy them)

Following the Paleo diet has helped thousands of people achieve:

We know the positive effect a Paleo lifestyle can have because we experience it firsthand every day. We also know that any transition period-whether it be for a diet, lifestyle, or personal change-can be difficult. The switch to Paleo may be one of the best things we have ever done for ourselves, and now we want to help as many people as possible to do the same.
Once you see results, you'll never look back!
We believe that after one month of eating wholesome foods our bodies were designed to eat, you will have no desire to go back to your old ways. Why? Because this is the first way of eating where you will eat delicious, mouth-watering meals and the mirror will still thank you. It's a diet that will make you feel proud for the nutrients you are putting in your body, rather than filling it with harmful chemicals and processed foods. It will leave you feeling strong, energized, and focused; rather than weak or deprived. And for all those reasons, it's anything BUT a "diet." If you want to try Paleo for 30 days, we will give you the tools to do so. All we ask from you is the motivation to commit. How do you find motivation? By seeing results. How do you get results? By sticking to a plan.

We are here to help YOU!
Just like you, we once had our doubts on Paleo. Hayley, as a former vegetarian, was convinced a meatless lifestyle was the healthiest choice.

Since we both went "all in" with the Paleo lifestyle, we have never looked back. As an added bonus to your purchase of the 30 Day Guide, you will have access to:

Summary: It's not enough that Wolfram and Hart lost their hold on Earth.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Sadly.
A/N: This banner was made by the wonderful TouchoftheWind. I'd also like to thank her for babbling at me. Your babbles are awesome :)
This story is in response to this challenge: John's brother David has a son, Connor, however after Connor gets his memories back he tries to take Wolfram and Hart down in other dimensions too and so began to rip his way to other dimensions. But the world is full of things Connor did not know and he rips his way onto another Planet and gets dragged into a war with the Wraiths...and quickly shows these creatures what The Destroyer actually is...
Meanwhile John and his team come to the Planet Connor is now on and begin to hear rumours of a Destroyer hunting down wraiths- many of the people of the planet view the Destroyer as a protector but others are convinced The Destroyer is more of a threat than the Wraiths. Will the team be able to locate The Destroyer? And will they be able to deal with the problems that come with The Destroyer?
He stumbles through the portal and starts running. His Assassin has never found him immediately after entering a new dimension. It usually takes him months, years and on one occasion he'd traveled through two dimensions before they had ran (literally) into each other. His instinct tells him to put as much space between him and his arrival point as he can. Listening to that little voice that tells him to
has served him well in the past and he's not about to ignore it now.
Pain shots up his side and his right leg protests loudly that broken bones are not meant to walk on let alone run. Trees blur and animals scurry away but he doesn't take the time to process his surrounds beyond the knowledge that he's in a forest, its night and he's alone. Hearing voices in the wind, he abruptly turns and heads in a different direction.
He doesn't stop until he can no longer hear the inhabitants of this new dimension. He's been through this process so many times that he no longer has to think about it. Find water, food and shelter. Observe the locals before approaching them.
He licks his lips and sets about the tedious task of setting his own bone.
A week (by his count) passes before he decides to ventures closer to the inhabitants. A giant circle sits in a clearing next to a path that leads to the closest village. The village is inhabited by humans which, after all he's seen, isn't surprising. They speak English (which is) and as far as he can see, there's no sign of the Partners presence. There have been dimensions he's traveled to that either the Partners never went to or the inhabitants drove them out.
He's back at the Circle, watching a group of humans, when the Circle makes a loud noise and starts to light up. Seven symbols appear one right after the other, before a puddle of water suddenly explodes from it. The humans had moved out of reach from the water and didn't seem surprised.
He isn't either. The key to survival is an open mind. So while it's
, it wasn't something to get worked up over. Even when the demons walk out of the water, he isn't disturbed.
The humans, on the other hand,
He hasn't survived as long as he has by jumping into every altercation between humans and demons he sees. So he doesn't interfere when the humans start to scream and run. He doesn't move from his hiding place when the demons shoot their guns of blue light and really? Really?
interfere when a demon grabs a woman, presses his palm to her chest and she grows
. Before he reaches them he knows that the woman is dead. There are many, many demons that use humans as their food source and they each have different ways of feeding.
This was new.
He's stepping over the withered husk before he realizes it and hits the demon. The clearing quiets as everyone takes in the demon that sails across to the other side and he takes the moment to wonder if he'd hit the demon harder than he'd wanted.
It doesn't take long before the demons are concentrating their efforts on him. A sense of elation spreads though him as it does whenever he fights and he can't help grinning. This is what he lives for. There are the battles when every moment may be his last; if he just isn't fast enough or he blocks when he should have dodged. Knowing he could die fuels him and makes the fights just that much better.
Then there are the battles that are more like warm ups. Where he can take his time and taunt.
Just like this one.
They weren't especially fast or strong. Stronger and faster than a human but slightly less so than a vampire.
Perfect for letting off steam and not re-injuring himself.
Until he gets hit by one of the blue lights. It doesn't hurt so much as makes his entire body numb. He shrugs it off just in time for a demon to pick him up and slam him into a tree. It knocks the wind out of him and he kicks out, knocking it away from him.
The second shot makes him stumble. While the guns weren't going to kill him, it was probably best to avoid them. Which was a good decision considering the third shot momentarily brings him to a knee.
It becomes a game. Avoid the blue lights and hit the demons. Five points if he makes them shoot each other…ten if he walks right up to one and avoids each blast.
It's the simple moments in life that brings joy.
And it is fun. It's also hysterical to watch predators when their prey fights back. Then again, he's never been 'prey'. Not really. Oh, he knows what it's like to be hunted…to think he's going to die. But he's never felt helpless before. Even when he fights his Assassin. He's fought hundreds of them but that one he's never defeated. Even when they're both broken and he loses the upper hand, all he can do is grin and think '
I can't die now. We
to do this again
He doesn't understand despair…has never experience that moment of resignation.
He wonders idly if that's what the last demon is feeling as he stalks up to it and it backs away. Wonders, as its yellow eyes widens, if it is thinking of its own mortality and how easily its friends died. He wonders, even as his fist exits through the demon's back, if he'll one day look at his Assassin like that should he lose that fight.
Probably not…he's never been any good at playing prey.
He makes his way to the stream and washes the gore off his hands. When he's done he meets his reflection in the water.
He hates it.
No matter how many times he looks, the image doesn't change.
He looks exactly same. It angers him because he's been doing this for years and years and his own face taunts him.
He isn't sure if he'd just stop aging or if it's just slowed but it's as though his face is trying to say '
Nothing's change and it never will
And he refuses to believe that.
Cronin, son of Ver'd, didn't think much of it when he hears the faint echo of the Circle activating. His people were traders and it wasn't uncommon for the Circle to be in use. It wasn't until later when four members of the group sent to sell bladed weapons, came running back to the village, that he knew something was wrong.
His first thought was of the Wraith. Before they get into hearing range, he's already directing people into hiding. The Wraith has not visited his world in the memory of four generations but from the moment the Atlantians woke the Wraith, many worlds have been Culled to extinction and he prays to the Ancestors that this will not be the end of his people.
It's a shock when one of the blacksmiths tells them of a boy who killed the Wraith. When he is described, Cronin's first instinct is that the boy is a Runner. It would explain the brutality used to kill the Wraith. It doesn't explain the Wraiths' apparent surprise.
They don't venture out to the Circle until the next day… when they're sure no more Wraith will come. Cronin has never seen this level cruelty before. He has fought the Wraith on other worlds. He has seen what they can do to humans and what humans can do to them. He didn't see the fight but he can tell by the way that the bodies are thrown around its just—they gather the bodies to burn.
He is grateful for what the boy did but he hopes they never meet.
They do meet.
The second time the Wraith come through the Circle and he witnesses the boy fight. Even covered in dirt and rags he can see how young he is. It's unbelievable that a child, and that is exactly what he is, could possibly be capable of such levels of destruction.
In the village, the boy would, perhaps, have just entered maturity but as Cronin watches him he sees a child playing a deadly game. And that scares him more than the way he kills because this boy isn't fighting for his life or to protect others.
He's doing it because he enjoys it. He kills with a smile on his face and Cronin would really like to meet the fool who taught this child to fight.
The next time they meet, Cronin deliberately seeks him out. It takes a while because he can't find any tracks or evidence that boy exists and settles for wondering the forest.
In the end it's the boy who finds him.
"You looking for me?" Cronin startles and turns around. The voice is soft and husky with disuse.
"I am Cronin, son of Ver'd," the boy doesn't offer his name but he does offer food. Perhaps this is just what he needs to discern if his people will have an opponent worst than the Wraith to fight.
Months pass and the demons come. He is always there to meet them. They never come in more than groups of six and he takes that to mean that they are all from different groups.
Life in this dimension was boring which he equated to being peaceful. When there were no demons to kill he hunted and rested. Sometimes he'd trade his kills for clothing and, on one occasion, a positively wicked knife.
He never spent much time in the village; the people were either terrified of him or worshiped him. Cronin was one of the few he voluntarily made contact with. The man wasn't actively afraid of him but he didn't think he was a gift sent by the Ancestors.
He was told that the demons were called Wraith and the Circle led to different world. At first he assumed that meant that it was a portal to different dimensions but the way it was explained it kind of sounded like it led to different planets.
He learns about Cullings and Darts and he has enough to deal with, without adding aliens into the mix. He's still dead set on the Wraith being demons though.
This world was one of the strangest he's ever encountered but some things were universal.
They called him Destroyer of Wraith.

Nydia: The Gowanus is 'Sponge' worthy!
By Mike McLaughlin
June 29, 2009
The proposed Sponge Park along the banks of the fetid Gowanus Canal is finally living up to its name in one way: it's soaking up federal money.
A pilot version of the park, whose name actually refers to how it will employ vegetation that would retain water and prevent sewer overflows on rainy days, could sprout thanks to a cool $300,000 earmark sponsored by Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Carroll Gardens).
"It would be a great amenity for the city," said Susannah Drake, an architect. The Sponge Park is the brainchild of her design firm, dlandstudio, and the Gowanus Canal Conservancy. "The water is dirty and we have to start cleaning it up incrementally. We could use the Sponge Park to get the ball rolling."
The House appropriation isn't enough to build a full-sized greenway alongside the infamous Lavender Lake, but it might be enough for a one-block esplanade. The designers say that plant life can reduce runoff into the canal as well as suck toxins out of the stagnant estuary.
"This project would create much-needed public space, while addressing ongoing environmental concerns. Cleaning-up the Gowanus Canal will never be effective if we don't also come up with solutions like the Sponge Park that prevent future contamination," Velazquez said in a statement.
Velazquez siphoned some cash to the park prototype as part of the annual Interior and Environmental Appropriations bill. It now awaits Senate approval.
The daring idea to convert one of Brooklyn's most polluted wastelands into an innovative park was unveiled over a year ago. Since then, the Conservancy has been courting the city for its support and several agencies have signaled their interest in the project.
But the political landscape has shifted since the Sponge Park idea was born. Now, the city and federal government are locked in a debate about how to clean the Gowanus.
The Environmental Protection Agency favors declaring the foul canal a Superfund site, a program that would force polluters, often with lengthy court battles, to pay for the bulk of the cleanup. The city argues it can do the work faster through its own proposal, an untested approach of voluntary cooperation from polluters and funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Any success of the Sponge Park plan could help Bob Zuckerman, the former head of the Gowanus Canal Conservancy and the Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation, who is locked in a tough race for the City Council. Other candidates in the contest to succeed Councilman Bill DeBlasio are Brad Lander, Josh Skaller, John Heyer and Gary Reilly.

Demolition derby cars typically have solid bodies and lots of crushing room. American-made '60s sedans and '70s station wagons are popular. They're found in junkyards or through enthusiasts online, for a few hundred dollars.
A couple of the Damsels of Demolition find and prepare their own cars, founder Windy Jones said. But most take advantage of relationships she's built with mechanics, including father-and-son derby veterans Billy and Travis Altfather.
Before the derby, glass must be removed and interiors stripped, so no parts fly off and injure drivers. Doors are welded shut, hoods chained closed and gas tanks cut; a fuel cell goes in the back seat.
After 60 or 80 hours of deconstruction, most drivers also dedicate time to giving their vehicles personality, as there is a $250 award for best-appearing car.
"It's a lot of work for 10 to 15 minutes of destroying it," Jones said. "But it's a lot of fun."
After the event, most cars are towed from the fairgrounds.
New Damsels of Destruction are always welcome, founder Windy Jones said. No demolition derby experience is necessary.
Sponsors are also needed to help drivers get their cars ready and cover their $100 entry fees.
To get involved: ocdamsels.com
COSTA MESA – Two flat tires. Steam pouring from the hood. Trunk crunched into the backseat.
Still the women kept going, taking aim and smashing into each other until one car was left standing.
Each crash was met with cheers from the 5,000 people who packed the grandstands at OC Fair's Action Sports Arena on Friday night.
For driver Jessica "Babe Ruth" Hughes of Silverado, the competition was about crossing something off her bucket list. For Leigh "Iron Maiden" Hansen of Lake Forest, it was about second chances, after her car failed to start during last year's derby. And for Shannan "Tinker Hell" Childs of Azusa, it was about taking out some of her road rage.
But all of the women who participated in the Damsels of Destruction Demolition Derby had one goal in common.
"We're here to save the boobies," Denise Childers of Orange said, with all prize money donated to Susan G. Komen Orange County, supporting local breast health programs and fueling research to fight cancer.
The all-female demolition derby crashed onto the OC Fair scene in 2012 thanks to Silverado resident Windy Jones.
Jones was the first woman to enter the fair's Orange Crush Demolition Derby in 2004 after catching the prior year's show. She spent hours building her car with her father, and, while she didn't win, she "got a taste for crunching metal."
That drive was still there when she saw the Motor Home Madness derby during the 2011 fair. Soon she'd devised Damsels of Demolition, which she launched with help from Sunnyside Promotions and in support of Susan G. Komen.
"By going out there and smashing their cars into each other, they're helping us get one step closer toward destroying breast cancer," said Lisa Wolter, executive director of Susan G. Komen Orange County.
It's a cause close to Jones' heart. Her aunt Darlene died of breast cancer some 15 years ago. She didn't have insurance, Jones said, and kept her disease a secret until it was too late.
Determined to promote early detection, Jones reached out to 10 women who'd never driven in derbies before. The field included a housewife from Newport Beach and three women who work with Jones at a payroll company not far from the fairgrounds.
"Some girls go to lunch together and we hit each other with cars, I guess," Jones said with a laugh.
The 2012 derby raised $7,000 and included a surprise marriage proposal for driver Lori Siegele, who finished second. Tiffany Ortega of Fullerton won driving the "Dar Car," named in honor of Jones' aunt.

The Ultimate Spicy-Chip Showdown
You can't eat just one, and you need them for the World Cup games
By Alexandra Engler
If Mama Zuma really wanted revenge, she wouldn't have made these chips so damn delicious. The chips combined salty, spicy, smoky, and mesquite flavors for a bold and incredibly satisfying taste. These would beespecially perfect for the barbeque chip fan that's ready for the next level. Not to mention the name and packaging probably deserves an award just for itself.

Kids View Review: Puss in Boots
By Tanner D. Luce (13 Years Old) Mar 6, 2012, 1:07 GMT
Puss in Boots: You loved him in Shrek...now see where the one-and-only swashbuckling feline found his fame - and a very big pair of boots - in the "hilariously funny? (Associated Press) animated epic! Lover, fighter and outlaw Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas) is off on the adventure of his nine lives as he teams up with Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) and Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) for the ultimate showdown ...more
Would you like to see another Shrek-related movie Dreamworks has rushed out or would rather watch something new? Puss in Boots doesnt feel new. It just focuses on a different character.
Its a bunch of fairytale characters dumped into Mexico (or Spain) with hopes of finding some magic beans so they can climb into the sky to find some gold eggs! That, in a nutshell, is the entire plot.
The beginning was too slow and confusing. Puss escapes jail and then tries to steal the magic beans. Then comes a girl kitty for Puss to fall in love with (like every other film), and an egg named (what else?) Humpty Dumpty.
Puss then tells his entire life story to the girl cat, and then they try to steal the beans again. The beginning was worse than the Tom & Jerry movie (Tom learns to talk, and then it turns into a musical), but the rest of it was okay.
Id give the movie plot 3 out of 5 stars.
The characters traits were pretty average. There are 2 villains (Jack and Jill), but they just run around trying to shoot Puss and his friends (and they arent kids, FYI).
As mentioned earlier, there is a girl cat (Kitty Softpaws) for Puss to fall in love with, but she acts like every other girl in every other movie Ive seen.
Shes cunning, unwilling to share her thoughts, and then shell fall in love after the protagonist saves her. I wasnt talking about Kitty Softpaws by the way; I was talking about every single girl in this movie genre.
The only characters who had any kind of originality were Puss and Dumpty. The characters get 2 out of 5 stars.
The visuals didnt impress me until the middle of the movie. The bean stalk scene was really impressive, the camera showed every angle, the leaves had a nice reflection, and the sky was the perfect style.
After that, Humpty put on a shiny gold suit for whatever reason, and that showed off the lighting. However, the beginning had virtually no attempt on visuals. I also noticed that Puss tail seemed to always have the wrong color and shading, and that got really annoying.
All I could see of the monster guarding the gold eggs was a red eye. Id give the visuals of Puss in Boots 4 out of 5 stars. They were really good.
The voices for Puss in Boots werent anything special. Antonio Banderas did really well. He really gave Puss a lot more personality, and Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris did well with Jack and Jill (the villains).
However, nothing else about the cast really stood out. Im giving the voice work 3 out of 5 stars.
The background music was quite a different story. It was very nice and had a Spanish style to it. The films music really did help make the movie stand out and be entertaining. Henry Jackman did really well so Im giving the music 4 out of 5 stars.
Overall, Puss in Boots was a good movie. Its got action, humor, and can be enjoyed by cat lovers and cat haters. It is a good sign that Dreamworks will finally stop making awful Shrek movies and start with something new.
I wouldnt mind a sequel! I did some math with what I gave each category (2+4+3+4+3/5) and it came out as 3.2 overall.
This is definitely a 3 star movie. It is fun to watch, but still has flaws. The cat could easily lead himself to another successful franchise - if he hasnt already.
