15 Shots Killed Shelby Allen
By Andrea Todd

And so Debbie set out to educate students about the dangers of binge drinking and alcohol poisoning through Shelby's Rules, a nonprofit education foundation. "Shelby used to tell me, 'Mom, just tell me how things work. That's how I'm wired,' " Debbie says. "What she meant was, she wasn't going to do or not do something just because I told her my stance on it. She required reasons. Facts. Explanations. I think most kids do.
"If I had told her how alcohol affects the body, how alcohol relaxes every muscle in the body, including the gag reflex, so that if your body is trying to get rid of the booze that's poisoning it, the muscles in the throat may be too slow to respond, and you can choke on your own vomit or not be able to vomit at all...if I had explained these specifics to Shelby, she might still be alive."
So, Debbie says, "I explain this stuff to these [other] kids. I admit that I didn't know enough about the dangers of alcohol to properly educate my children about them. I make sure other kids know, 'When in doubt, call 911,' and 'Vomiting = Alcohol poisoning.' " These are two of the key mottoes featured prominently in the materials Debbie hands out at her talks and in the public service messages her organization distributes. She has received letters of appreciation and interest from all over the country attention sparked in part by the fact that Shelby's uncle, executive producer for the NBC series ER at the time, had his niece's story woven into the show's final episode, which aired the spring following Shelby's death.
In over 100 classrooms and auditoriums along the West Coast, Debbie has displayed an 8-ounce water bottle, noting that this was the amount of alcohol that was found in her daughter's body. "I explain that at about a blood alcohol level of 0.16, kids are generally throwing up, and by 0.30, they are passing out. Allowing someone to pass out after drinking and leaving that person to 'sleep it off' may actually be leaving someone to die," says Debbie. "Most kids don't know that the only way to save that person's life if he or she has in fact had too much to drink is to get medical attention immediately." "Shelby's Rules" share specific steps to take: Wake the person up; shake him; pinch him; if he doesn't respond, call 911 and then involve an adult.
The goal, Debbie insists, is not to "teach kids how to drink," as some parents within the community have complained, but to provide kids with an education that will encourage them to take alcohol seriously, hopefully avoid it altogether, and recognize a deadly situation and take the appropriate steps. Debbie takes special pride in the stories she's heard about underage drinkers rescuing their friends from alcohol poisoning because they knew what to do. "After one presentation I gave in Anderson, [CA], when a teen started vomiting after drinking at a party, his friends immediately marched him home," she recalls. "The boy made it home and collapsed into his mother's arms." His mother then took him to the emergency room, where he was successfully treated for acute alcohol poisoning. "One of the mothers checked to see if those boys were in the group that had seen my presentation, and they were," she reports happily. "It's proof this kind of alcohol education can really save lives."
Debbie often tours with Shelby's best friend, Alyssa now a college student who continues to have nightmares about that night. Alyssa, who describes herself as having been "guilt-ridden for months," was cooperative in the investigation of Shelby's death. She also admitted to underage drinking, served her 50 hours of community service with the Shelby's Rules foundation, and made the issue of alcohol poisoning and underage drinking her senior project. Her newfound zero-tolerance perspective on underage drinking, however, has not made her popular with kids her age.
"My stance is that teens shouldn't experiment with alcohol, which means they shouldn't drink at all, because what they wind up doing is seeing how much they can drink before they pass out or get sick. They don't think of alcohol as something that can kill you," Alyssa says. "The kids at our high school, right after Shelby died, were all shocked and kind of scared straight. But that didn't even last very long. Now most of them are drinking just like they did before. One of our friends was talking to me the other day about how wasted she got, how she was throwing up, and I just looked at her like, Didn't you learn anything from Shelby's death? Kids just don't get it. They need more information, and they need to hear it more often."
Debbie is also involved in other aspects of the teen binge-drinking issue. She lobbies for tougher underage-drinking and social-host laws. Last spring, she testified for the passage of AB 2486, a California bill seeking to hold adults civilly liable for damages if they knowingly furnish alcohol to underage drinkers in their homes. At the hearing, most like State Senator Noreen Evans expressed dismay. "I have to say, I always thought this was the law and I'm just shocked to find out it's not," Evans said, shaking her head. "It should have been the law all along." On August 30, 2010, the bill became state law. A companion amnesty bill which provides criminal protection for minors who call 911 to assist an underage drinker in difficulty was signed into law a month later.
As pleased as she is with these results, Debbie Allen's path as an activist has been a fraught one not just because of the loss she's endured, but also because of the reception her actions have met with. "I've lost good friends as a result of the incident itself and the aftermath," she says, "parents of Shelby's friends who were friends of mine who have not provided the support we have asked for: agreement that parents should not allow kids to drink in their homes, or help with our efforts to change laws that provide immunity for parents who do."
This kind of collateral damage doesn't give Debbie even a split second of pause. Her mission is clear. "I've had people say, 'You've turned your whole life over to this issue; it must be very therapeutic for you,' " she says. "Well, it's not therapeutic. Every time I give a presentation, it's painful. My grief has not lessened. In some ways, it has grown as time has passed. No one's child should have to die on a cold bathroom floor while parents sleep warm in beds nearby. I'm determined to save kids' lives. Not my kid's. It's too late for my kid. Other people's kids. Your kid."

All I Needed Was The Rain
Forfatter Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne
Hello misfortune, how's my old friend 'Mr. Misery'?
I've been away so long I bet you think you saw the last of me
Got no bed, to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
rain, rain, rain, rain
Met a little honey at the 'Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe'
Yes I did
One drink and all my money and that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low, as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
rain, rain...rain..rain
All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain...um..um.....

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Oct. 26
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Best small and midsize companies to work for. This week the Great Place to Work Institute announced its annual winners for the ninth annual Great Place to Work Best Small & Medium Workplaces list.
The lists, which ra n in Fortune magazine, welcomed 18 newcomers to the list and saw five companies that have made the list every single year since the inception of the rankings, CEO Susan Lucas-Conwell says.
The U.S.-based companies span industries and regions and pay between 50% and 100% of health care premiums for their employees, among other traits.
There is also an increasing trend toward flexible work options; 43 of the 50 ranked offer some form of flexible working hours; while 80% allow employees to telecommute some or all of the time, Conwell writes in her introduction of the rankings. 2. Should you join an accelerator? Joining a start-up accelerator requires time and a substantial commitment, between the long hours and a requirement to give up a percentage (usually around 7%) of equity in your business. Depending on the accelerator you join, you may also be required to move to a different city. Before plunging, heed these considerations, according to the Kauffman Foundation's Startup Weekend blog. Make sure the accelerator's reputation is sound, including connections to venture capital firms and mentors with real entrepreneurial experience. Determine how much hands-on mentorship you want as some accelerators have lots of scheduled programs, mentor sessions and group activities, while others are more flexible, the article says. Going through an accelerator in Silicon Valley, for example, will expose the entrepreneur to a fast-paced, ultra-competitive environment. Can you handle the pressure? Figure out if your start-up business is unique, either by industry or by specific skill, and look for accelerators that cater to these specialties. Finally, make sure to consider all your options -- including incubators, which "can provide office space, a collaborative environment, and some mentorship, but without the funding," as well as competitions for funding without giving up equity, the article notes. 3. Food trucks roll onto college and university campuses. The burgeoning food truck trend has made its way to college and university campuses, with many independent contractors already on campus. Now school food service operators are also realizing food trucks can be a profitable addition to their programs, according to Technomic. "Food trucks not only have the same restaurant offerings that college students crave, but they also provide the convenience of moving operations around campus and accepting school dining plans," according to Technomic. Michigan State University operates the Eat at State On-The-Go food truck, which uses local ingredients for its burgers, sandwiches, salads, snacks and drinks year-round. The food truck accepts cash, credit cards, dining plans and "Spartan Cash" for payment. Under its UW Street Food brand, The University of Washington offers a number of university-operated food trucks that serve anything from hot dogs and barbecue sandwiches to street tacos and Korean cuisine, Technomic says. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

5 Things Growing Up on a Farm Taught Me About Finances
In my youth, I had the lucky chance to be raised on a farm in Iowa. Growing up I thought a lot differently and hated going out to do chores, shoveling pig manure, or walking beans. At the time it felt pointless, and I felt like free labor to my dad, Grandpa, and uncle.
Without my parents knowing it, farming taught me a lot about finances and how to manage money. In looking at my youth I came up with these small, but significant ways that living on a farm taught me about finances.
- Sell While the Market is Hot – farmers are the biggest optimists and the worst pessimists. When the markets are hot, then farmers think that I probably shouldn't sell now, because it's going to go higher. Then when the market is down in the dumps, then most farmers have tons of regrets. An important lesson I learned was to slowly (dollar cost average) sell when the market offers you a good price. This could be anything from toilet paper to corn to gold coins. You never know when the peak or valley will come, so sell when you've got a good profit.
- Being Stupid Will Cost You Financially (Don't Be Stupid!!) – in 6th grade I had the responsibility of bringing the wagons in from the field, and one year I was bringing in a 250 bushel wagon of beans up to the farm house. We were going to put the grain in the bin and store it for winter. So I decided to drive the tractor and wagon in 4th gear (highest gear) up to the farm in order to get done faster. I was so stupid and kept driving in 4th gear as I turned the corner to go up to the farm. I ended up rolling the wagon and spilling all 250 bushels of beans. My stupidity cost my dad about a $1000 to replace the wagon tongue, but luckily no one was hurt. It helped me learn to not be foolish with my possessions and not be in such a hurry!
- Learn From the Past – Grandpa always sat with me in the living room rocking chairs until midnight chatting with me about farming, the Depression, and just about life in general. I'd gladly sit with him there for hours and just listen and ask questions. I knew if we forgot our past, then we'd soon repeat it. His words of wisdom about how to learn from the past helped me learn so much about finances and how to protect my family financially.
- Prepare For the Worst & Hope For the Best – farmer's income is so dependent on the weather and when the rains come. It leaves so much up to chance. In watching my Dad and Grandpa, I always saw the worry when rain wasn't coming, and the crops were starting to wilt or when we'd have a big flood. They always tried to do their best to save some of their income in case "this year" was a bad year. Ya never knew what each year would bring in terms of weather. All they could do was sow the seed, hedge their grain, buy crop insurance and pray for timely rains.
- Everyone Needs to Shovel Some S#*T! Once in a While - no matter what time of year it was there was always hog manure to be shoveled and hauled out to the field. Seemed like such a trivial and boring job that got to be old. I'd frequently complain and whine about having to do this "crappy" job, but it needed to get done. I don't know how my dad put up with my whining! Regardless of how horrible the conditions were I truly learned the value of "an honest day of pay for an honest day of work." I hated the job at the time, but when I look back it helped me learn how to work hard. I'm glad my parents pushed me into doing this! In working in the corporate world now I know how to work hard and be of good value to my employer.
There are probably a lot more ways that farm life has taught me about finances, but I can easily see how these five have translated into life now. I know that not everyone was raised on a farm, but I'd be interested in hearing how your upbringing formed your view of finances. It can be both positive or negative.

Charlie, I never tire of hearing your stories about farm life. All awesome tips here. Growing up we were dirt poor in our family. My first "lesson" from that was to buy all of the stuff you want now because you never know when you won't be able to buy again (or charge it, as the case was). The second, and obviously real lesson from growing up so poor was that it is crucial to manage your money wisely and to utilize value-based spending. Before we were trying hard not to look poor, now we're trying hard not to be poor. Big difference.
October 14, 2013
Laurie- I struggled growing up too not wanting to look poor. I had one incident where my mom had bought a coat at a garage sale. I wore the coat to school the next week and one of my classmates said that was his coat and asked where I got it. I said my mom bought it, but wasn't sure. He said it was his, and his parents sold it at a garage sale. I was so embarrassed and never wore it again.
October 14, 2013
Some what tongue in cheek and some what serious, learning to grow your own food may not be such a bad idea either. With the price of food rising with no end in site and the farm to table movement seemingly getting stronger, America may soon learn to decentralize their grocery needs.
October 14, 2013
I would add that being lazy costs you money. Farmers that don't clean pens every day and don't fix problems as they arise end up with larger vet bills or dead stock or lower crop yield.
Being lazy with your finances costs money too. Not bothering to look for lower interest rates or not taking the steps to move from mutual funds with high maintenance costs to lower expensed ETFs or even the simple things like using a cash machine connected with your own bank and not paying an extra fee can cost you a lot of money in the long run.
A lazy farmer is not a good farmer.
October 14, 2013
My folks taught me to FIRST pay off any bills/debt I have and then see what else I have. Sure, for some this might seem weird, but it helped us through some very tough times and we are debt free. Wasn't easy or pretty, but we made it. I was also taught that work is not something to be ashamed. If you need to make money, work and make it (even if the work is 'bellow you' or you see it like this)
October 14, 2013
I love this post! Our parents have a big impact on the lessons we learn, financial and otherwise. My mother grew up dirt poor in the Philippines, and she taught me to ask myself three times before I spent, even a dollar, "Do I really need to buy this?". It seems like overkill since a dollar purchases so little. But my takeaway now is that my mother's line of reasoning is a great defense against consumerism. With all the voices asking you to purchase this or that, where is the voice railing against the rampant purchasing?
October 15, 2013
Shoveling s#!t and paying your dues is the key to success. Most people look at successful people and think luck got them there, they didn't see all the hard frivolous work that was put in.
October 15, 2013
Charlie, your post and childhood reminded me of one of my fav books, A Painted House by John Grisham.
I also grew up on a farm, much smaller than yours, but it definitely taught me the value of hard work and being unselfish and working toward the good of the family. Great post!
October 15, 2013
Thanks Kyle! Living in the city now I realize how I took growing on the farm for granted. Honestly, my growing up on the farm was on John Grisham painting. It was more so like an episode of hoarders and house on the prairie in one. haha Either way it was what God had in store for me to make me the man I am today. For that I'm eternally thankful!

Shop Smarter: Savvy Grocery Shopping Tips from Mary Abbott Hess
by Toby Amidor in Grocery Shopping, May 5, 2013
Confused by all the choices at the supermarket? I had the chance to speak with dietitian Mary Abbott Hess, author of The Pocket Supermarket Guide. Her savvy supermarket shopping tips will have you reaching for healthier choices during your next trip to the market, and saving money too.
Q. Your Pocket Supermarket Guide provides aisle-by-aisle tips on healthier shopping. How do you think consumers should educate themselves before hitting the supermarket in order to make the healthiest choices?
As a consumer, it is important to understand how to interpret a food label. First, look at the serving size. All nutrient values and calories are based on an amount of food which is frequently quite small. Next, look at key nutrients to see if it has good amounts of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Also, look for reasonable amounts of fat, sugar and sodium. Lastly, check the ingredient list for whole grains and limit foods with various forms of corn syrup, saturated fats (including partially hydrogenated oils) or sodium sources.
Q. Is it possible to eat healthy on a budget? What are your top 3 budget saving tips?
There are many tips throughout the Pocket Supermarket Guide but 3 that yield big savings are:
- Check newspapers and flyers for sales and 2-for-1 specials and include those foods on your shopping list
- Find bargains on the top and bottom shelves because name brands (at higher prices) often are at eye level
- Clip coupons for foods you use and sign up for store discount shopping cards
Q. I've heard that you should shop the perimeter of the store in order to decrease the urge to buy processed foods. Would you recommend this? Why or why not?
Yes. Most stores have fresh produce, fresh meat, poultry, eggs and seafood, dairy products and baked goods including breads around the perimeter of the store. Processed, canned and packaged foods are typically located in the central aisles. Sure, you will need some items from the center of the store but shopping mostly at the perimeter generally keeps you in the territory of healthier food options.
Q. What are the most confusing "healthy" food items that really aren't?
Food marketers create a "halo of health" for many foods that are not particularly healthful. Some of these are organic candy and snacks, which usually have as much sugar, fat and salt as those without organic ingredients; highly sweetened granola products; fat-free salad dressings that contain lots of sodium and/or sweeteners; wheat bread that does not have whole wheat as the first (main) ingredient; beverages "made with real juice" that have only a small amounts of real juice and lots of sugared water.
Q. What top 5 foods should be on a shopping list?
It's hard to limit it to five since there are so many great healthful foods. The most basic foods in each of the food groups of MyPlate should be most of the shopping list. To start with, I'd recommend:
- Legumes
- Fresh or frozen (unbreaded) fish and seafood
- Fat free or low-fat milk or yogurt
- Whole grains including cereals and breads
- Plenty of deep green, orange and red fruits and vegetables
Q. What foods should consumers avoid when at the market?
Avoid or limit soda and other highly sugared beverages, anything fried (like chips, fried chicken, doughnuts), high-fat sausages and other foods that are high in saturated fat. In addition, steer clear of prepared mixes and packaged products that have very high amounts of sodium per serving. Check the percent daily value (%DV) and if it is over 33% (1/3 of the days recommended amount), think twice.

Olympia Farmers Market
700 Capital Way North
Olympia, WA
Submitted by: todd babcock
A gathering place for local, small-scale farmers, merchants and artists.
Why It Works
The market is open Thursday through Sunday with both indoor and outdoor vendors, and a primary facility that houses approximately 200 local produce, bakery, and arts and craft vendors. A performing stage gets used by entertainers from all disciplines, and there is also a food court featuring German, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and American items.
What Makes Olympia Farmers Market a Great Place?
Located along the waterfront, the Market connects with a hotel, downtown, and business park. It is a ten-minute walk to the heart of downtown, and there's a bus terminal two blocks away. The main building has hangar-style bay doors at each side of the that are opened during business hours.
The Market is located at the end of the main street through town. There is a roundabout at the entrance, and the roadway provides a terrific view of downtown. Seating is located along paths and in the food court area. Market staff circulates regularly, picking up trash. There is a restroom facility on site. The atmosphere is festive and light, and the Market promotes a pedestrian feel, with tables spread throughout where people can sit, eat, and relax. Vehicles are parked behind the facility, out of the way of vendors and patrons.
The Market is attractive to all ages and because of the variety of vendors, there is something for everyone. In addition to street entertainers, there are regular acts performing on the stage, including dancers, singers, and speakers. There is sometimes a clown who blows balloons for kids. Food variety includes fresh poultry, fish, beef and pork. There are also jerky stands, bakery shops, and homemade clothing - and booths with a high percentage of organic farmers.
This is a place where local people regularly schedule lunch or other activities, and also where tourists visit to get a sense of people in the area.
History & Background
The Olympia Farmer's Market is the second largest market in the Northwest.

Former Energy Drink Company Owner Convicted of Tax Charges
Las Vegas, Nev. – The former CEO of a Nevada sports energy drink company, Xyience, Inc., was convicted today of tax evasion charges following a one-week bench trial before U.S. District Judge James C. Mahan, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada and John A. DiCicco, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division.
Russell Pike, age 50, of Las Vegas, was convicted of one count of tax evasion for 2006 in which he evaded taxes due on over $7.9 million of income.
Pike founded Xyience, Inc., which manufactured, marketed and sold sports energy drinks, most notably, Xenergy, which was sold in over 45,000 stores throughout the United States. Upon the inception of Xyience in 2004, Pike received at least 12 million shares of Xyience stock. During 2006, Pike sold over 4.4 million shares of his Xyience stock for approximately $7.9 million, which included a sale in November 2006 of over three million shares to an investor for $5 million. In early 2007, Pike requested that the investor change the date of the stock purchase agreement from 2006 to 2007, so that Pike could avoid paying taxes for 2006.
During 2006, Pike expended millions of dollars to sustain his lavish lifestyle, drive luxury cars and bet millions of dollars at local sports books. Furthermore, Pike made payments on a 2005 Lexus SUV and 2005 Land Rover that were held in the name of a nominee. Also in 2006, he used a nominee to purchase a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG for $151,614.
Pike is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. and faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Pike has four prior felony convictions, including two in the District of Nevada for bank fraud and money laundering.
The case was investigated by Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Nicholas D. Dickinson and Timothy S. Vasquez and U.S. Department of Justice Trial Attorney Kimberly Shartar of the Tax Division.

Laboratory Safety Seminar Open to Faculty, Staff and Students
The free event will cover many situations that have been found in real-life settings.
Written by Sally Logue Post
William Breazeale, who has been active with the American Chemical Society for more than 40 years, will conduct the seminars.
A half-day laboratory safety seminar open to all Texas Tech University faculty, staff and students is set for Sept. 9 in the Matador Room of the Student Union Building. The seminar is free and will be held from 8 a.m. to noon and repeated from 1-5 p.m.
The seminar, "Taking Ownership of Your Laboratory," will cover a number of safety situations that have been found in real laboratories. Numerous photographs of laboratory settings will be used to illustrate good and bad laboratory practices.
"The seminar will provide valuable information to anyone who has any connection to a laboratory, 3-D art facility or other academic setting where chemicals are present," said Alice Young, associate vice president for research integrity. "Faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students are welcome. Whether you are in a chemistry lab setting or a printmaking class, you should take this seminar."
To register, call Environmental Health and Safety at (806) 742-3876 and ask to register for either the morning or afternoon session of "Taking Ownership of Your Laboratory."
The seminar topics include:
- Laboratory accidents
- Eye and face protection
- Handling Chemicals
- Chemical Storage
- Labeling
- Biosafety
A laboratory safety seminar for deans, department heads and other administrators is set for Sept. 8. Administrators play a critical role in the implementation of effective institution-wide environmental health and safety programs, said Young. This seminar will focus on liability, regulatory compliance, planning for emergencies and effective safety program.
William Breazeale will conduct the seminars. He has been active in the American Chemical Society (ACS) for more than 40 years, serving for nine years as a member of the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety including three years as chair.
Currently, Breazeale serves as a consultant to the Committee on Chemical Safety. He also has held offices in the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety including that of chair. Other activities at the national level have included appointments to the Committee on the Economic Status of Chemists, the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws, and membership for more than ten years on the National Chemistry Week Task Force serving as chair of the task force from 2000-2003. He currently is a member of the elected Council Committee on Committees, the ACS Speaker Service, and the Board of Trustees for Member Insurance Plans for ACS Members. At the local level in the South Carolina Section of the American Chemical Society, he has held several offices in the Section including chair and currently serves the Section as Councilor.
The seminar hours count for the Responsible Care in Research requirement, but Randy Nix, director of Environmental Health and Safety, says there are many more people on campus who will benefit from the information.
"There are many people impacted by the presence of a lab or other facility in a building," he said. "Certainly the researcher, teaching or lab assistants and students, but anyone working or taking classes in a building containing labs are affected as well. Most everyone on campus could benefit from the information in this seminar."

The best matte texture I've seen in a while. Applies smoothly and evenly, making lips look velvety. Isn't drying at all; has a faint, pleasant strawberry scent and amazing staying power. The 02 is a very wearable neutral pink with no shimmer. (Feels slightly sticky at first, but less so if you blot it.) Highly recommended.

Novel vs Short Story
Novel and Short story are two words used in literature. These two terms should be understood differently. A novel is a long form of writing. It is fiction in character. It is imaginative, and is written out of the power of creativity in the writer. On the other hand, a short story as the name itself indicates is a short form of writing, usually written about an incident, an episode or a character in someone's life. This is the basic difference between the two words.
A novel is a long literary form, whereas a short story is a short literary form. A writer who writes a novel is called a novelist, whereas a person who writes a short story is a short story writer. It is quite natural that a novelist also writes short stories. Hence, it is possible that a novelist can be a short story writer too. The converse is also true. A short story writer can also be a novelist.
A novel is usually divided into various chapters, sometimes numbered and sometimes not numbered. The story is usually spread for a good number of years of the main character of the novel. Many other characters that are associated with the main character appear and go in a novel.
On the other hand, a short story is not characterized by many characters. The main character of course is supported by a few other characters that add importance to the short story. It will be easy for the reader to remember the characters that appear in a short story. On the other hand, it may not be very easy for a reader to remember all the characters appearing in a novel. This is due to the large size of a novel.
A writer usually takes several years to complete a novel. On the other hand, a short story can be written in a short span of time. This is an important difference between the two. Sometimes a novel is written quickly too and it depends upon the concentration and the time the writer takes to write on a daily basis.
In the same way, reading a novel also takes more time when compared to the time taken to read a short story. Writing a novel is more flexible than writing a short story. This is due to the fact that the story writer has to covey the important message to the readers by means of the short story, which is short in length.
On the other hand, a novelist has all the time in the world to expand the story, introduce as many characters as he wanted, related the characters in the way he liked, make changes in the story whenever he wanted, and use his creativity to build the climax at the end of the story. A short story on the other hand cannot take the liberty of dealing with the details of any given incident in the story. It is more message-oriented than a novel. These are the differences between novel and short story.

Consolidating polling places in Northumberland County on hold
SUNBURY — The Northumberland County Commissioner's plan, to consolidate 21 voting precincts into 10 to save money, has been put on hold until next year. The News Item reports after hearing complaints from political candidates and other citizens, they postponed the move, even though it would have saved the county $24,000.
The original plan had the 10 polling places in four communities on the eastern end of the county. Now the commissioners say next year, the consolidation could involve 29 precincts down to 10 to save the county $30,000. A special election board meeting is set for 11 a.m. on Wednesday to rescind Tuesday's resolution on consolidation. (Ali Stevens)

Drake is a creature type used for cards that depict flying reptiles, similar to dragons but smaller and less powerful. Mechanically, Drakes are a predominately Blue-aligned tribe, though there is a smattering in all other colors save White. They always have flying, and often have greater toughness than power.
The mind of a Drake is more similar to that of an animal than that of true dragons. It is often thought that drakes were descendants of the losers of the Elder Dragon Wars, like the wurms, but this is not true, for their ancestry can also be traced to the surviving Elder Dragons.
By and large, the difference between drakes and dragons is that dragons have wings in addition to their limbs, while drakes have one set of their limbs replaced by their wings, like birds or bats, though exceptions (such as Wind Drake and Dromar, the Banisher) exist. Drakes are especially vulnarable to æther vortexes.[1]
Drakes have been seen on Dominaria (especially on Tolaria, the Burning Isles and Jamuraa), Rath, Mirrodin, Ravnica, Alara, and Zendikar.
Notable types of Drakes[edit]
Azure drakes[edit]
An azure drake attacked and was killed by Caliphear the Nightmare and his attendants in the Great Salt Marshes of Western Golthonor. Hakim Loreweaver had tamed one of these drakes and used it a pet and a means of traveling.
Ravnican Drakes[edit]
Torch Drakes and Drake Familiars live among the spires of the vast city of Ravnica. They are used by the Dimir and Izzet guilds. Also, the Gruul used to capture drakes to show off. Leafdrakes are an enhanced form of drake created by the Simic. Recently, among Simic krasis, there are the Drakewing Krasis, drake-lizard hybrids.
Leafdrake Roost
Spiketail drakes[edit]
These Jamuraan drakes had the ability to nullify magic.
Teferi's drakes[edit]
Created by Teferi while he was studying in the Tolarian Academy, they were used by Barrin in the defense of the University against Kerrick's forces. They had the irritating habit of disappearing into the time stream moments after being summoned.
Wyverns are particularly large drakes with two legs, wings, and a birdlike gait. They are known to exist in Jamuraa as well as the former plane of Rath. The cerulean wyvern of Jamuraa has sky-blue scales that allow it to surprise its prey from above on cloudless days, while Rath's sabertooth wyverns are known for their exceptionally large canine teeth. The former subtype Wyvern is now incorporated into the Drake type.

The Art of Urbanism: How Mesoamerican Cities Represented Themselves in Architecture and Imagery
- Venue: Museo del Templo Mayor, Mexico City
The thorough investigation of the ecological contexts and environmental opportunities of urban centers throughout Mesoamerica now permits us to address the question of how ancient Mesoamerican cities defined themselves and reflected upon their "place," through their built environment. This year's Dumbarton Oaks symposium will explore how each city represented itself in architectural, iconographic, and cosmological terms. The participants will be asked to examine how a particular kingdom's public monuments were fashioned to reflect its geographic space, its patron gods and mythology, and how it sought to "center" the Mesoamerican world through its architectural monuments and fine arts. How did each community "leverage" its environment and build upon its cultural and historical roots? How did its monuments signal its participation in larger Mesoamerican-wide exchanges of people, goods and religious ideas? The answers are reflected in the built environment, the pictorial imagery, and the sumptuary goods that each city's inhabitants used to define their own identity and distinguish it from that of their contemporary competitors and ancient architypes. We seek to explore this theme across time and space, from the beginnings of complex society to its most complex and powerful expression in the great capital of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

Two days after making French Open history Roger Federer was bidding farewell to Roland Garros after being dumped out by Ernests Gulbis.
Having made 36 consecutive slam quarter-finals, Federer has failed to reach the last eight at three of the last four tournaments.
The sequence ended at Wimbledon last summer with his stunning second-round loss to Sergiy Stakhovsky while he was then beaten in the fourth round at the US Open by Tommy Robredo.
In Paris, Federer came out on the wrong end of a five-set battle with Gulbis in round four, losing 6-7 (5/7) 7-6 (7/3) 6-2 4-6 6-3.
"For every match you can't necessarily explain why you lost," said Federer.
"Sometimes you're more disappointed, sometimes less. I'm not mad, but I'm not happy, either. Because I missed too many opportunities. I did not play like I wanted to play.
"This time I was in good shape, and I think I could have done better. That's why I'm probably even more disappointed this time."
Gulbis appears to have left his playboy reputation behind him, if not his penchant for causing controversy, and is finally living up to his considerable talent.
From outside the top 130 in the rankings at the start of last season, Gulbis has climbed to a career-high 17 and is unbeaten in France this year having won titles in Marseille and last week in Nice.
He said: "It's probably the most important win, especially because it was five sets.
"I beat him before, but it was a three-set match. So for my confidence and just for me as a tennis player, a five-set win over Roger Federer, it's really big."
The lightbulb moment for Gulbis came at a Challenger tournament in Eckental in Germany in November 2012.
"I asked for a wild card," he said. "I didn't get the wild card. I had to play qualifying. I made the final there, so it was an okay week, but it was the end of the year and in the middle of nowhere.
"It was winter, it was really depressing, and I thought, 'I start to do something or for what I do this'? So that was one big question. This is the answer."
Gulbis probably should have won the opening set but Federer fought back, and the outcome might have been very different had the Swiss taken either of two set points serving at 5-3 in the second.
On the first Gulbis admitted he got lucky as Federer sent a smash right to him, but three points later the Latvian had the break back and he went on to win the set on a tie-break.
Another key moment came with Federer leading 5-2 in the fourth set.
Gulbis went off court for treatment to his back and hamstring and, although Federer did take the set, his momentum had gone and a service break at the start of the decider ultimately cost him the match.
Federer was suspicious Gulbis may have used the break tactically, saying: "He didn't look hurt in any way. But if you can use it, you might as well do it."
Gulbis, though, insisted that was not the case.
"I'm not big on medical time-outs," he said. "I don't like to take it, but I take it when it's really necessary. It probably was my third medical time-out in my life."
The crowd willed their favourite Federer on, and Gulbis admitted the hostility towards him had curbed the wilder side of his personality - not withstanding one broken racquet.
"One is nothing for me," said the 25-year-old with a grin.
The Latvian moves on to play sixth seed Tomas Berdych, who continued his impressive progress through the draw with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win over John Isner.
Federer will have a week to spend with his family before defending his title on grass in Halle and then moving on to Wimbledon, where he believes he is a genuine title contender.
He said: "Mentally I have already switched to the grass.
"I think when I'm healthy, like I have been now for the last six to nine months, I think clearly I can decide the outcome of the matches more than I could last year. So I'm very excited about my chances for Wimbledon now this time."
Second seed Novak Djokovic also looked to have a tricky test against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat Federer in the quarter-finals last year.
But Djokovic needed less than an hour and a half to win 6-1 6-4 6-1 and set up a last-eight clash with Milos Raonic, who is through to his first grand slam quarter-final.

At the Barbican on Jan 3: Great dancing by Anton and Erin, plus a good band and passable singer. But the show needs slicker production - a professional compere would help, rather than Anton's stumbling, unfunny attempt. The show clearly lacked rehearsal, and needed a narrative. Erin looked gorgeous, as… (cont'd) Pennyjenks from London

Internal medicine providers focus on the health care of adults. Doctors of internal medicine are known as "internists" or "general internists" and shouldn't be confused with "interns," who are doctors in their first year of training after medical school.
An internist can meet a wide range of health care needs from routine or every-day concerns to more serious matters. Are you generally healthy? An internal medicine specialist can help you prevent disease.
Do you have a chronic condition such as diabetes? An internal medicine provider can help you keep it under control.
Do you have one or more health issues? Or are you experiencing new problems as you get older? An internist can diagnose and provide non-surgical treatments for complicated and severe diseases, especially those related to internal organs such as the heart, stomach, kidney and liver.
Our bodies need cholesterol to function, but it's common to get too much. That's especially true as we get older. Learn more about high cholesterol and how to lower yours to a healthy level in our online health library.

Boston Celtics' trident skewers Philadelphia 76ers
The Celtics' three-pronged attack was too much for the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night. Celtics 107, 76ers 91.
(AP Photo/Matt Slocum)
If you were looking to teach a clinic on what it takes to win an NBA basketball game, this would be exhibit A. The Boston Celtics, visiting the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night, showed what happens when you combine protecting the basketball with a powerful scoring offensive. Stunned by losing their game with Philadelphia on Monday night by one point in an anemic offensive display, the Celtics regrouped and took the crowd out of this game by the second quarter.
In Monday's disaster in the T.D. Garden, the Celtics scored a whopping 57 points in three quarters. Wednesday night, they improved that total to 89. Three of Boston's starters logged double-doubles: Paul Pierce, sprained MCL and all, logged 24 points and added 12 rebounds; Kevin Garnett was his ageless self again, with 27 points and 13 rebounds, and Rajon Rondo sharpened the last tine on the trident, with 23 points and 14 assists. Mickael Pietrus was strong off the bench, hitting three of four three-point shots at strategically important times and helping to give starters much needed rest.
In fact, the score wasn't even as close as it would suggest – the starters were out of the game by the fourth quarter. Boston's field goal percentage for the game was 52 percent, which was 11 percent better than Philadelphia's.
During the regular season, the Celtics were 24th in the NBA in total offense efficiency; in other words, fourth from the bottom. Critics have justifiably suggested that the Celtics could be their own worst enemy if they don't pick up their offensive output – that their margin for error is very narrow. It would appear, for the moment at least, that the Celtics have silenced those naysayers.

And whisper thing that you are only meant to hear
It's a bit late for me, so this will be short and sweet! Kallisto Destiny has been a machine over at Drift with one release after another! Her latest pretties are the very popular Cazibe Mesh Corsets in more colors, because well...people wanted more. A slew of new colors that made it hard for me to pick which ones to blog but I went with this deep navy because I loved the way it went with my pants from One Bad Pixel. Now, to be fair I am unsure if these pants are in the store because I purchased these (in other colors as well) during the One Voice Event in July. I would go look to see if they are in the store but I am far too lazy to log back in. If they are - YAHHH. If not - boo :((.
Have you been to Cae's yet? Please tell me yes because everything is just lovely over there. I have mentioned it is original mesh designs, right? Um hm. Good stuff!
Now after an awesome and full day, I am off to bed. Sleep sweet when you get there!

Redux: Dark Matters is a side scrolling shmup which was successfully funded via Kickstarter 18 months ago, after greatly surpassing its goal of $25,000 by about $28K. While the gameplay is not lightning fast, there are more than enough enemies and bullets to dodge, proving itself to be a challenge to even veteran players of the genre.
There are two difficulty settings, Normal and Veteran, and each offer a different ship for the player to use. I didn't notice much of a difference in terms of the enemies when choosing Veteran, although that ship's weapons certainly had a larger spread on screen.
Once I understood that I had a bullet-absorbing shield, the game became a bit easier, but that highlights one of my key issues with the game: its lack of instruction to the player. For example, the ship used on the Normal difficulty setting could refill its shield by collecting what could best be described as Corn Pops® throughout the level. However, I never saw the meter increase with the Veteran ship.
