It's been a bad week for the Royal West Academy (RWA), Bristol, after a 6.7m-high statue by Damien Hirst was left with a graffiti tag last Tuesday night. The sculpture, worth £1.5m and inspired by a collection box girl used by a former charity, is the second sculpture this year to have been vandalised at the institution. In May, a bronze sculpture by David Backhouse, which had stood at the front of the building, was smashed up. Keen to learn from the experience, the RWA perched the 3.5-tonne Hirst sculpture on its balcony in a bid to remove temptation from criminals. A spokesperson for the RWA said "maybe we'll have to put work even higher next time. We're concerned it may put people off loaning to us, but the graffiti has already been removed and there is no lasting damage to the work."

"Save £30 when you buy a Damien Hirst beach towel and deckchair together," trumpets the latest email from Hirst's London-based edition shop Other Criteria. Sun worshippers can indeed bag a Soul Love double beach towel and a deckchair bedecked in butterflies by the Brit artist for £345 (rather than the usual £375): ideal for Blackpool, Biarritz and other beach resorts worldwide.

The Good Times: Art For Older People programme at Dulwich Picture Gallery in South London, now in its sixth year, has always pushed the boundaries with original and innovative projects for older adults who are often isolated and vulnerable. For the latest initiative, the gallery has teamed up with Hat Designer of the Year 2010, Kate Langrish-Smith, whose millinery workshops are tailored to the needs of the elderly participants. Dutch hats seen within the gallery's collection are the inspiration for this chapeau smorgasbord. "The sessions are already fully booked and the gallery is brimming with excitement at such a wonderful collaboration," said a jaunty press statement.

The Doll's House Museum in Basel gets all goggle-eyed this autumn with an exhibition devoted to Eyewear (note the jaunty sub-title: Past, present and future –vision aid and fashion accessory). The show, which opens on 15 October, explores the history of glasses from antiquity to the present, with plenty of celebrity specs on view, "among them the ostentatious glasses of Sir Elton John, those of the unforgettable Marilyn Monroe, the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer or the Swiss ski-jumping legend Simon Ammann. Also featured are spectacles of the eccentric Basel couturier Fred Spillmann," said a press statement. In fact, 20 gorgeous sets of glasses from Elton will wow visitors to Basel.

Buenos Aires-born artist Pablo Bronstein brings pirouettes and pointe shoes to the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London next month with his new ballet Plaza Minuet/The Birth of Venus. So how Black Swan-esque will Bronstein be? The two-part piece will be performed by classically trained dancers, including Matthias Sperlinger and Rosalind Masson, in costumes designed by Mary Katrantzou. In Plaza/Minuet, the performers will "follow lines marked out on the floor that might represent an architectural void or an imagined piazza", says a press statement. The birth and triumph of Venus is explored in part two. The spectacle hits the ICA on 16 and 17 September after a performance at Glasgow's Tramway on 3 September.

Hot on the tails of her hugely successful performance in Manchester, Marina Abramovic has been named to direct LA MOCA's annual gala on 12 November. The fundraising event has become something of an art world performance extravaganza, with Doug Aitken creating an immersive, multi-media project last year including a set by folk favourite Devendra Banhart. Lady Gaga and Francesco Vezzoli paired up the year before, with a performance featuring dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet. Details are still unconfirmed for Marina's plans, but since her Manchester magnum opus, The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic, included talented actor Willem Dafoe, ethereal singer-songwriter Antony Hegarty and legendary director Robert Wilson, the MOCA event is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

The London riots which have engulfed the capital - from Hackney to Ealing - have had an impact on the art world. "Due to police intelligence, The Roundhouse in Camden is closed to the public this evening [9 August]. As a result, the screening of Mat Collishaw's Sordid Earth has been postponed," says Collishaw's dealer Blain Southern. Collishaw's piece was set to be projected on to Ron Arad's Curtain Call installation made of 5,600 silicon rods. The event will thankfully be rescheduled...

This November, Belgian artist Carsten Holler will send visitors into a spin (again) with the launch of his new piece at Rome's Macro Museum of Contemporary Art (30 November to March 2012). The work, entitled Double Carousel with Zöllner Stripes, has bagged Holler the Enel Contemporanea prize - now in its fifth year - which is awarded by Italy's largest power company to an original work on the theme of energy. Holler takes interaction to new heights with a press statement noting: "Turning slowly and in opposite directions, the merry-go-rounds allow the public to get on and off easily, as if they were enormous mills or grindstones, where the people, sitting on top, come closer together and move further apart in constant rotation." Criss-cross lines around the carousels may fuel the queasy feeling experienced by some participants (white knuckle or what?).

Art and fashion, always cosy bedfellows, snuggle up once more with the news that UK designer Paul Smith has teamed up with the Hertfordshire-based Henry Moore Foundation. "I have always been a fan of Henry Moore and this is the first time a contemporary designer has been granted permission to make use of his prints and drawings on clothing. I was most privileged to visit the Henry Moore archive to select the drawings I wanted to use," quips Smith. Moore's imagery graces Smith's trendy togs and accessories such as a weekend bag, ladies' handbag and clutch bag, ties, scarves, and a man's leather billfold wallet. The Paul Smith & Henry Moore collection goes "in store" (as they say) this month and is also available at: http://www.henry-moore.org/hmf/shop

This interesting take on Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi, currently the target of Nato air strikes, features in the Summer in the City exhibition at Ben Uri, Jewish Museum of Art in north London which opens today (until 4 September). The arresting image taken on London's Tower Bridge - cheekily entitled I've got a 99, problems and a great tshirt (2011) - is by Saatchi New Sensations award-winner Sarah Maple, one of seven young artists (Miriam Elia and Seren Jones also participate) invited to respond to works in the Ben Uri Collection by art titans such as Frank Auerbach, Lucien Pissarro and Leon Kossoff. "From 3D painting to fictionalised audio histories, each [artist] has taken the opportunity to get out of the studio, out of their own heads and onto the streets," says curator Nathalie Levi, jauntily adding: "Enjoy the show, avoid the rush hour."

Cindy Sherman and MAC are teaming up for a cosmetic line that comes straight from the big top. Taking a cue from her 2004 clowns series, the garish makeup seems better suited for Bozo than a young beauty. In the ad campaign, the famed photographer/master of disguise creates three different personas using distinct colour stories. She is a clown, a bewigged madam and a Joker-lipped ingénue. The line is scheduled to debut in September.

NF-κB is crucial for innate immune defence against microbial infection. Inhibition of NF-κB signalling has been observed with various bacterial infections. The NF-κB pathway critically requires multiple ubiquitin-chain signals of different natures. The question of whether ubiquitin-chain signalling and its specificity in NF-κB activation are regulated during infection, and how this regulation takes place, has not been explored. Here we show that human TAB2 and TAB3, ubiquitin-chain sensory proteins involved in NF-κB signalling, are directly inactivated by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli NleE, a conserved bacterial type-III-secreted effector responsible for blocking host NF-κB signalling. NleE harboured an unprecedented S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent methyltransferase activity that specifically modified a zinc-coordinating cysteine in the Npl4 zinc finger (NZF) domains in TAB2 and TAB3. Cysteine-methylated TAB2-NZF and TAB3-NZF (truncated proteins only comprising the NZF domain) lost the zinc ion as well as the ubiquitin-chain binding activity. Ectopically expressed or type-III-secretion-system-delivered NleE methylated TAB2 and TAB3 in host cells and diminished their ubiquitin-chain binding activity. Replacement of the NZF domain of TAB3 with the NleE methylation-insensitive Npl4 NZF domain resulted in NleE-resistant NF-κB activation. Given the prevalence of zinc-finger motifs and activation of cysteine thiol by zinc binding, methylation of zinc-finger cysteine might regulate other eukaryotic pathways in addition to NF-κB signalling.

Alcohol, Ethanol, and Nickel Test
Name: Larry Status: educator Grade: 9-12 Location: OR Country: N/A Date: May 2006
Can I use isopropyl alcohol instead of ethanol to dissolve dimethylglyoxime for use in a nickel test? I am using the test to confirm nickel in the iron of meteorites. It is more convenient to buy 99% isopropyl alcohol at drugstores than to buy ethanol.
You should be able to use IPA instead of EtOH, though you might be required to use larger volumes if it is less soluble. The only issue that I can see is that dimethylglyoxime is insoluble in water, which is what the other 1% of you 99% IPA is most likely to be. The easiest way is to try it for youself, as IPA is not expensive. You might also want to try gentle heating, though always excercise caution when heating flammable solvents--submerging the vessel in a warm to hot water bath is the safest way to gently heat your mixture.

How far is a full marathon?
A full marathon is 26.2 miles or about 42 kilometres.
Walking a full marathon can be a bit daunting, but it's an achievable distance if you prepare in advance.
If you sign up to walk Shine's full marathon, you'll be walking 26.2 miles around London, lighting up the night sky past iconic landmarks like The Shard. So what does 26.2 miles look like exactly?
The distance of the Shine Night Walk full marathon is about the same as...
- Walking from Canary Wharf to Basildon, Essex
- Walking 121 times around Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers' football pitch
- Walking four times around the Tamsin trail at Richmond Park
- Walking from Brighton to Eastbourne
- Walking three times around Windsor Great Park
How long will it take?
Shine isn't competitive, so you can walk at your own pace. Walking a full marathon will take you eight to nine hours, but we encourage you to enjoy the evening, walk at your own pace and raise money for the fight against cancer.

Nothing beat Saturday morning cartoons when you were growing up.
That feeling of waking up stupidly early so you could sit cross-legged and transfixed on the TV for hours on end is hard to beat.
Sure, as adults, we have sex, sleep-ins and cars to entertain us during the weekends – but are they really as good? OK, yes, they are, so we won't labour the point.
Anyway, cartoons are great. But, let's face it, some of the cartoons and cartoon characters they used to inflict on us were just terrible. They were tantamount to child abuse, seriously. You know which ones we mean – and we can only assume the people who created them had miserable childhoods.
They hated children and wanted to get back at us for some hideous playground incident back when they were nine. How else do you explain Lisa Simpson? Or even Scrappy Doo? We can only live in hope that the person responsible for Scrappy Doo will spend their after-life in the ninth level of Hell – alongside Hitler, Stalin and the guy who played Jar Jar Binks.
Anyway, here are the cartoon characters which annoyed us the most – please feel free to suggest your own,
21. Tweety Bird
From: Various cartoons
How cute: a little canary with a New Jersey accent. Please eat him Sylvester and floss with his birdie bones.
20. Pebbles and Bam-Bam (especially when they grew up)
From: The Flintstones
Seriously, what was the point?
19. Teddy Ruxpin
From: The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
Could he be more earnest and annoying? You're a bear for God's sake, go nick some picnic baskets or kill something!
18. Porky Pig
From: Various cartoons
A pig with a stutter – just great! Genius! What next? A hare with a harelip? A monkey with a drug habit? A hedgehog who fantasises about having sex with rhinos? Actually…
17. Pepe Le Pew
From: Les Adventures de Pepe Le Pew or something
A French skunk who smells and is a bit of a sex pest. Now, we are no fans of our neighbours over the Channel, but that's some serious stereotyping going on there. He should have been lazy, eat anything that isn't tied down and carried a white flag with 'strike' on it too. Wait a minute!
16. Olive Oyl
From: Popeye
So why were they fighting over her again?
15. Luigi
From: The Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Luigi was the halfwit brother of videogame icon and fellow plumber Mario. He also was one of the main reasons Mario Bros the cartoon sucked.
14. Gazoo
From: The Flintstones
Whatever the Flintstones creators were on when they came up with a snotty, tiny green alien who only Fred could see should be banned immediately.
From: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO
George Lucas – you are going to Hell
12. Rubik
From: Rubik, The Amazing Cube
Even more annoying than a Rubik's Cube. Do you know anyone who has actually solved one without cheating? Geek.
11. Angelica Charlotte Pickles
From: Rugrats
Whoever unleashed Rugrats on an unsuspecting world deserves being tortured by Jack Bauer.
10. Dungeon Master
From: Dungeons and Dragons
Can anyone be more smug? Or have worse hair? Put it this way: would you trust someone with that hair who calls himself 'Dungeon Master'?
9. Uni
From: Dungeons and Dragons
While we are on the subject of Dungeons and Dragons, were we the only ones who wished that bloody unicorn and that annoying noise it made would die a horrible death?
8. David the Gnome
From: David the Gnome
A gnome. Named David. Thanks for this one, continental Europe.
7. Roadrunner
From: Roadrunner or something like that
Were we the only ones rooting for the coyote?
6. He-Man
From: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Stupid and stupid voice – some hero.
5. Bonkers D. Bobcat
From: Bonkers
Highly annoying Roger Rabbit rip-off – without Jessica Rabbit.
4. Snarf
From: Thundercats
Cursed with the most annoying voice on the planet, this alien cat nursemaid (now that is just odd) was simply a pointless character.
3. Orko
From: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
We all wished He-man's court jester would make himself disappear.
2. Lisa Simpson
From: The Simpsons
Yes, we know she plays an important role in the show, but did they really have to make her so annoying?
1. Scrappy -Doo
From: Scooby-Doo
Whoever came up with idea of Scrappy-Doo was a lonely, bitter person. He brought misery to millions of children. We hope you are happy.

Thank you all so much. Finally feeling a little better. Doctor said to take some Robitussin...that helped. I have heard of the Netti Pot and it actually works. My MIL told me about it last year and I thought she was whack at first, but decided to try and it for sure works...just not when I get sinus infections.
Amie - posted on 11/28/2008
Is it an infection or a sinus cold? If it's an infection your doctor should be able to give you a prescription that is safe to take during pregnancy. I remember having one with my son, it was not fun and it hurt. It cleared up fairly quickly though once I saw my doctor. If it's just a sinus cold the only thing to take safely during pregnancy is Tylenol, or the generic brands, acetaminophen, like the other mom posted. I wouldn't recommend a hot bath though, as disturbing as it sounds, you could boil your baby. It takes a lot longer for the amniotic fluid to cool back down, that is why doctors don't recommend hot shower or baths. The towel over hot water is a good one though, I used to put the vapo rub into the water as it boiled and then turn it off and let it cool for a little bit then sit at the table with it. =) Hope it helps some, being pregnant and sick is never fun as our options are severely limited.
Shannon - posted on 11/27/2008
I dont know about any medications but have you tried the old putting your head under a towel above a bowl of hot water. Or a nice long bath with no fan on so the room gets nice and steamy. As odd as it might sound, before bed, put vaporub on the bottom of your feet, then put some socks on.
[deleted account]
Have you heard of netti pots? I used to always be getting sinus colds and infections. I started using one of these and I'm the healthiest I've been in my life. It's safe and natural (and cheaper than buying meds all the time). After I told some friends and family members about it they all swear by it too. It's a bit weird, but I swear it works and it's instant relief.

My doc said that Sudafed was okay during pregnancy. I bought the one without ephedrine.
Krista - posted on 11/28/2008
I had a sinus infection while pregnant and a doctor perscribed a nasal spray and said that is all I could use because I was pregnant and she also said I could have bought even a simple saline solution nasal spray and that would work too.
Patricia - posted on 11/28/2008
I just got over a terrible sinus infection and I agree with Shannon. Try the bowl of hot water or perhaps a steamy hot shower. And I would recommend some nose drops or spray salt water up your nose. I know it burns like hell, but I'm 39 weeks and with a 2 year old it's better to use salt water than walk around for 3 or 4 days with a headache.
Tracy - posted on 11/28/2008
My doc said it was ok to take any tylenol or robitussin products. Call your doctor to check if you're worried.
Ambra - posted on 11/28/2008
As long as it is acetominaphen (spelling?) it's ok. tylonel is ok, if you're in north america or paracetemol is also ok if you're in Europe. I had a horrible cold at 13 weeks and I had to take tylonel to keep the fever down.

michaellno Posts: 4,30017"s...so I'm sure you actually have some sidewall. Rare nowadays.
The CX-7 has 19"s .. fortunately, with 28K on them they still seem to have a decent amount of tread life left.
I'm figuring about $1K for a replacement set when the time comes.
EDIT - Discount Tire offers 9 different choices (235-55/19). Starting at $200 per tire and going up to $304/tire. -
jayrider Posts: 3,547Buy a cheap tire gauge or stop at a tire store and you can tell what tread is left. Remember, a month before your lease is up, you can check with other dealers on the best turn in deal. Some may want to charge you for tires and some may want the car as is if it has good resale potential.

stickguy Posts: 16,108not runflats but our new RDX does have nice big sidewalls (235/60 I believe). Given the condition of the roads around here, the more the better.
they are 18" though, and right now prices are nuts to replace, so I hope they can push near 50K, but I have had terrible luck lately with OEM Michelins (barely 30K on the Odyssey).

ronsteve Posts: 435Yes, the 2014 Forester will keep the FB25 engine and now gets a CVT.
The FB25 is nice - timing chain, separate coolant flow to the heads, and easy access oil filter at the top of the engine. Could use DI to make a bit more power, though.
32mpg highway for the AWD model will be best in class.
I wasn't a huge fan of the CVT in the Impreza when I had one as a rental.
That said, I'd give up a couple MPG to do my own shifting... wonder if the 6th gear on the new-generation Subies has alleviated the screaming highway RPMs of the previous NA Outbacks?
Could be a tossup between Outback and Forester if I am forced to go Subaru to get the 3rd pedal... -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587
steine13 Posts: 2,449Ask and ye shall receive... from an outback forum, forget who wrote it but i copied the information...
"60 MPH, 6th, 2100 RPM. 36.0-37.2 MPG. Still very effecient, even at a moderate speed, this is the speed I typically drive at(all highways here are 55-70 limit) and I routinely get 550-600 miles per tank(33-36 average)."
there you go.
cheers -mathias -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Thanks.
It would be useful to compare to the OB's CVT ratios, which are:
CVT in manual mode: 1st gear 3.581, 2nd 2.262, 3rd 1.658, 4th 1,208, 5th 0.885, 6th 0.618. final 3.90
CVT in automatic D mode continuously varies between 3.581-0.618
So the Forester has a taller final drive, and a taller lowest ratio on the CVT. It can probably get away with that since it's lighter than the Outback.
You lose some aero, but not much. No wonder the Forester is rated higher in MPG. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,814I wouldn't characterize them as "screaming" RPMs. Surprisingly, my Fiesta runs at higher highway RPMs than my Forester, by a couple hundred given the same cruising speed. Happily, I get 40+ out of that (vs. 28-29 for the Forester) when cruising 68-70.
That said, I certainly wouldn't mind an extra gear (assuming lower overall ratio) for highway cruising in both of them if it meant better fuel economy.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -

The screaming RPMs were when I test drove a 2006 Outback, and 70mph was clearly above 3000rpm, seemingly rather undignified for a car of its size and class.
Also test drove a 2007 Forester, which was definitely more relaxed... didn't get on the interstate with it, but did get to 60mph at roughly 2300-2400 rpm, so it would be more like 2700-2800 at 70.
The WRX that I tested around the same time was similar to the Forester. I could about kick myself for not getting that car... we know my insurance man would have been happy!
In a perfect world, the 6-speed would have similar gearing for 5th, with a taller 6th for better cruising. And that's what I was most curious about.
The CVTs do have very tall top ratios, but if I am stuck not shifting my own, I think my next vehicle would probably be a Honda CR-V. :/

50-Mile Activity Loop Plan - Overview
The 50-Mile Activity Loop is the City of Albuquerque's proposed 50-mile, multi-use trail and bikeway facility that aims to fill the gaps in our existing trails and bikeways facilities to create a 50-mile bicycling, running and walking loop around the city.
The City worked with community leaders, citizen groups and local engineering firm Wilson & Company to develop the 50-Mile Activity Loop Plan, which was completed in September of 2013.
We're now implementing the 50-Mile Activity Loop Plan. The Plan established the route that the Loop will take. A good portion of the Loop is already in place. The Plan recommends ways to fill in gaps (shown in red) to join with the blue sections (existing bikeways and trail facilities) to complete the 50-Mile Activity Loop. The map also shows mini-loops that can provide connections to the Loop, which would be a future project.
The short-term goal is to fill in gaps in bikeways and trail system and later add amenities, such as benches, shade structures, water fountains, landscaping, pocket parks, and wayfinding signs.
The project benefits quality of life and health and wellness for locals with opportunities for economic development, tourism and possible events, such as a 50-mile or Century ride and charity walks.
"The 50-Mile Loop will be a great asset for Albuquerque, to promote health and recreation and a destination for tourists." - Mayor Richard J. Berry

Students learn patience on move-in day

Move-in day at Fort Hays State University means moving slowly on campus roads.
Students converging on campus Thursday had to exercise the virtue of patience as traffic slowed to a crawl as cars, pickups and SUVs approached the residence halls.
Campus security directed traffic and told anxious parents and students they had 30 minutes to park their car and unload their belongings.
For some, it might have been a bit of a shock, being on campus for the first time, especially if they got caught in the line of vehicles that stretched all the way back to Sheridan Hall.
Others were veterans and knew the drill -- i.e. Paula Mans and her mom, Janet Mans.
"I've been here before," said Janet Mans, who has older children in college.
"I hope it doesn't rain," Jody Leis said as she peered up at the overcast sky.
Leis' daughter, Mallory Leis, is from Garden Plain and is going to be Paula Mans' roommate at FHSU.
No worries, the sun eventually came out.
And the microwaves and coffee makers, TVs and computers, refrigerators and gaming systems, mirrors and carpets, along with all the other necessities of a college dorm room, were safe.
Melissa Allen, an FHSU admissions counselor, stood under a tent on the corner of the Agnew and Heather hall complex, handing out Tiger car tags and ready to help anyone with questions.
"Don't think it's going to rain," she said as she glanced up at the sky.
Inside McMindes Hall, Megan Westfall from Kiowa, Colo., had several family members helping her set up her room on the fifth floor.
Westfall got to know a lot about FHSU, and chose to attend college there, because she has relatives living in Hays.
Her aunt, Brenda Hoopingarner, is the chairwoman of the allied health department.
Ditto for Amber Wellbrock from Wylie, Texas, who has several first cousins and both sets of grandparents living in Ellis County.
Amber's parents, Glenn and Darcy (Waldschmidt) Wellbrock, grew up in Victoria and Hays, respectively, but after college moved to Texas, where they raised their three children.
Oldest son Dave stayed closer to home to attend college in Texas, but middle daughter Amber liked the idea of being near other relatives.
Amber has frequented Hays throughout the years, and with some prodding from cousins and grandparents, she checked out FHSU as a possibility of college choices.
"I visited (FHSU), and I just loved it," Amber said.
On Thursday, Amber was looking forward to meeting her new roommate, who is from Topeka.
"She's excited," said Amber's mom, who was a little more reserved about the whole idea of sending her oldest daughter nine hours away. "But it'll be great with our parents here close and all those cousins."
Four girls from Hays also will be close to home but will get to experience the full flavor of college living as well.
Megan Bird, Courtney Kaba, Sydney Niernberger and Molly Willhoft, all 2013 graduates of Hays High School, were busy moving into their suite in Heather Hall.
Heather, the newest residence hall on campus completed earlier this month, features four individual bedrooms for students, with two bathrooms, a living room and a kitchenette.
"We applied the first day you could," Niernberger said of the rush for the apartment-style halls.
"Then we just had to cross our fingers and wait and hope," said her mom, Stephanie Niernberger.
The foursome learned July 3 they would be roommates and began making plans for their suite.
"I'm excited," Niernberger said as she unpacked her belongings in her bedroom. "I loved high school, but I am really looking forward to college, too."

Concierge.com's insider take:
Divers of all levels of skill will find T&C idyllic, and while most of them will get no farther than Providenciales Island, and be happy with that, some real discoveries await at the other islands. Off the west coast of Grand Turk Island, the nearly vertical sides of an oceanic trench rise almost to the surface, creating some of the most spectacular wall diving in the region. On Salt Cay it's possible, more or less, to dive in and sing along with whales, and South Caicos Island is a good bet for anyone wanting to have a social encounter with really big fish. Or, for the history of it, there's Molasses Reef off West Caicos Island, resting place for what is believed to be the oldest European shipwreck in the Western Hemisphere. If you are not a certified diver, but want to get into the water with a tank on, two experienced companies are Provo Turtle Divers, based, as their name might lead you to believe, on Providenciales at the Turtle Cove Marina (800-833-1341; www.provoturtledivers.com), and Grand Turk-based Blue Water Divers (649-946-2432; www.grandturkscuba.com). If being instructed in something is not how you want to spend your vacation, virtually every island has outstanding snorkeling. Just make sure you try it beyond Grace Bay, where for the most part all you'll see is how clear the water is.

Related article: Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 17:01:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Nan Valenzuela Subject: Aeternus Amor 2Disclaimer: Look At the first chapter for the details. ^^The words below are in Latin. So here are some words that you will find and may be confused about. However some words I won't say but if you do look them up you will be very surprised.Rector is for Leader. Versipellis is for shape shifter. Lamia can be seen as Vampire. Animus and Materia look it up and tell me ^^. (Even though I know what it means.) Aeternus Amor Why didn't you tell me? "Don't get in trouble okay?" I whispered. Not that I had any idea what that meant but still. Like they could understand me anyways. I gave one long look before I shut the door.That was weird. I shook my head and slowly walked into the house. If I stayed longer they would have killed me, probably. They must have been the ones scratching on the door. They wouldn't hurt me. What the fuck was I thinking? Three big wolves and me thinking they wouldn't hurt me. Shesh, Amber would tan my ass if she found me thinking about that."Tracey hurry up and sleep!" Mom yelled from her room. Best not to make her angry, since last time she practically chained me to my bed."On it!" I yelled back. I closed the door and slowly made my way to my room. Long, long, ago."There has been another body found..." I heard someone say as I walked down the market. I stopped right next to the woman who spoke and started looking at the fruits. "There killing closer to the village.""Yes, I heard they are too... not to mention they found a giant wolf dead on the riverside." Another woman whispered."You don't say? Who found it?" The first women asked, there was three women. Each of them I knew from my fathers church. Each of them got married a while back and showed up constantly at the sermons."They say the blacksmiths son found it..." One of them looked around and her eyes landed on me. "Oh hello there Sephy." The women all turned and gave me a little bow, I smiled when they rose.I wanted to here Underage Lolitas more. "Hello there. How are you ladies doing today?" I picked up a peach and observed it."Very well Sephy, how are you today?" The second woman, who I remembered was called Lucinda, reached over and kissed my temple. She was one of the daughters of the Rectors of our village. Just couldn't remember who."Very well. Just doing some shopping for father.""We are shopping too just for our husbands." The third woman said. I couldn't remember her name nor the first ones either. "Well we should be off. We will see you later Sephy." Lucinda patted my shoulder and passed me with the other women.I finished the shopping and made my way back to the church. I was filled with curiosity. I've heard that there was wolves around the village but one of them was found? They said those wolves were big enough for a person to carry. I put the things away before I went to find father."May his holy light protect you my children..." Father waved goodbye to a few people as I entered the chapel. He turned around and smiled when he saw me. "Are you done with the shopping son?""Yes, father," I bowed a little bit and fallowed him to the altar. "How was the funeral?" One of the Rector's son's passed away just a few days after birth."Just like any other," Father started lighting the altars candles. "How was the market today?""Just like any other day aside from the talk of the wolves." I looked over to the side hoping father knew something, by the look on his face he did."Yes I'm sure with the body found in the riverside..." I saw him shake his head. "It's getting dangerous and they are starting to listen to me.""Listen to you?"He nodded. "I told them of the Versipellis..."He sighed and sat down on his pedestal chair. "They didn't listen to me before but now..." He shook his head again."So are you saying that those wolves are Versipellis?" He nodded. "But those are myths father." Myths that I spent my whole entire life learning. They just called to me."Are you so sure my son? Our little village has things happening that can't be explained. The same thing can be said for the Lamia.""That's going a little to far don't you think?" I relight a candle that had extinguished."Remember the body of the young girl who was completely drained?" I shivered. She was completely drained of all blood and her face was destroyed. "Just be careful when you leave the Church my son." He rose and walked towards the villagers who entered the chapel.After I finished my chores I spent time reading from the old scriptures of the Church. There were countless stories of Versipellis and Lamia. Taking a blanket and a few scrolls, I went down to the Sanctuary. It was a place only Father and I could go to. I put the blanket down and started reading.Soon the sun faded and the stars appeared one by one. I rolled up the scrolls and rose up, taking a deep breath. The Sanctuary was filled with countless flowers that father let me plant. He said that flowers had a special ability. Each one was different and with care they where magical in their own way. Something I found strange from him, a pastor.There was a whimper and a whine somewhere close. I froze. There was another whimper and a thump. "Is anyone there?" I called out but it was silent. There was another whimper and a loud groan. I slowly walked further down the Sanctuary and was surprised to find three giant wolves on the grass. One was bright red and was laying on its side bleeding. Another was black barely standing, its head was low and was coughing blood. The last one was trying to get the red one to move but to no avail It was black with patches of white. A few on its paws and a giant patch on its underbelly.It had blood but not as much as the other ones. It took a sniff and went on full alert. It turned slightly and looked at me, unmoving. I stared at it and it stared back. I was trying to figure out how I was going to live. Though from the look of them they couldn't really do anything.The red one moved a little bit and gave out another loud whine. The black and white one looked at it and nudged it with its mussel. The pure black one whimpered and fell on its side. The wolf gave me one last look before it fell down on the grass. PresentThe first half of school was rather awkward to say the least. Not only were people staring at, but they were like looking at me differently. As they never saw me before. When I met someone's gaze I lifted an eyebrow and they hurriedly turned to the side."Well well well..." Tom sat down next to me and gave me the same look everyone else was giving me."What?" I rose and eyebrow.He shook his head. "How did you turn them?""Turn who?""Isaac and Sam?" Ruby sat down in front of me and started opening her milk. "Everyone knows the fact that both of them couldn't keep their hands off you." She pushed back her glasses and put a straw on the milk, taking little sips."They just had one arm on my shoulder and waist..." I backed up a little bit when Ruby squealed, so did Tom. The backing up not the squealing. "What?""I can't believe they did that!" Ruby clapped her hands. "So who are you going to choose?""My carrot sticks..." I took a carrot and dipped it in ranch. "They are the best." Not to mention they didn't have a weird aftertaste."Why are you here and not with your boyfriends?" Amber sat down and frowned at me."What do you mean?" I gave her a little glare but she poked my forehead."Why are you here talking to us, when you have two hot guys that want to put their arms around you?!" She put her hand on my shoulder and shook it a little bit. She pointed behind me and I turned around.Sam and Isaac gave me a little wave. I blushed. They were sitting at there usual table but they were a little bit away from their normal friends. I did notice that Ash was not there though.I took a sip from my water and sighed, "What you want me to do?""Go over there and reel one in! You have an opportunity that every girl here wants and some guys too." Amber gripped my shoulder and Ruby nodded."Shouldn't he be the one who wants to go not you girls?" Tom reached over and took a carrot."Well he doesn't know what to..."Amber looked over my shoulder and her eyes got wide. "Make some room!" She moved her tray a little to the side."Why?" Ruby's eyes got a little wide and she started to blush. I lifted my eyebrow and looked over at Tom who shook his head. I think I heard 'Oh brother'."So how is your day going Tracey?" I turned over and blushed, Sam and Isaac had their food."Good and yours?" I gave him a smile and was surprised when both of them sat right next to me. Isaac was on my right and Sam was on my left."Same, just wanted to hang out with my little buddy," He put his arm over my shoulder again and have me a little hug. Amber and Ruby both gave a little squeal and blushed slightly.I introduced the guys to my friends and we started eating. Amber was different this lunch period compared to others, this time she didn't even fight with Tom. Usually it was about him ignoring her. Tom and Sam hit it off and were talking about basketball teams. Isaac was silent but talked to me here and there. Ruby talked a little but was mostly silent."Oh what do you guys think about the wolves?" Amber asked out of nowhere, I should have known though. She was fascinated about wolves."What about them?" Sam's hand tightened a little on my shoulder but loosened quickly."There was a picture yesterday of a red wolf and we are wondering if they are dangerous. What do you guys think?" Amber took out the same newspaper from yesterday and showed them."Versipellis...." I said as I looked at the picture again."What Tracey?" Amber lifted and eyebrow, she put the newspaper away."What did you say?" Sam looked at me searching for something, another thing passed through his eyes. I turned to the side and Isaac was doing the same thing."Nothing I just said something outta random..." I blushed looked down at my food. "So what you guys think?" Taking the spotlight out of me and giving it back to them."I think they are just making a big fuss over nothing." Isaac started eating his food, just pure meat. Mystery meat ewww."He is right, wolves tend to come closer into town once the food gets scarce." Sam took a bite of his sandwich, all meat."That is true... " Ruby blushed a little bit and pushed up her glasses. "Since it's winter they are hunting out of their range to survive."Amber gave a little sigh, "That is true... I thought there was something secret going on and they were experimental wolves. Seeing as they are really huge and all." She frowned and started eating her jello."Babe, there was definitely something experimental about your birth." Tom gave her a smile and ducked away from her jello.The fallowing week was rather interesting. Sam and Isaac had somehow became integrated into our group. The weird part was that they didn't even mention Ash. I saw him occasionally and he was angry each time I saw him. Though when I saw him I was with his friends.I did feel bad about taking his friends, but did I? Who knows if he did the same thing to them as he did to me. I didn't ask for the main fact that I didn't want to upset them.Also Sam was so cute! Through out the week, he gave me little things like a dog plushy or dog shaped food. Not real dog food mind you but cookies shaped like a dog or candy with dogs designs. Not to mention a few notes he passed me through out the school day. Most of them were little notes about how his day was going and how he missed me.Isaac was almost the opposite. He usually got me something to drink or offered to get me something. However, when Sam or one of the girls said they did he would ignore them. Whenever I met him walking on the hallways he fallowed me to my class. It was funny to see him glare at a few people when they got a little to close to him. "So are any of those boys pressuring you into anything?" Mom was drinking a little wine as she slowly ate.I gave out a loud groan and shoved the remainder of my hot dog in my mouth. Yes, laugh and giggle. A hot wiener in my mouth."Is that a gesture for something?" She rose her eyebrow.I chewed slowly and took a drink of water. "No. They are not and why would that be a gesture for something?" I rolled my eyes."Well I don't know seems pretty suggestive to me...""Well than you are a perv.""Tracey!""No I am not doing anything! Trust me. They are just being nice to me." I went to the sink and started washing my plate.She looked at me for a second. "Just because they seem nice doesn't mean they have some secret agenda.""Like?""Sex. They could only be after sex. They haven't know you that long and they have been giving you things and putting there hands on you." She crossed her arms and stared at me."How do you know that?" I blushed."People have been talking..." Amber must have told her something. Or another parent must have told her to watch out or something. Damn the parent teacher conferences. They just make it easier to get in trouble at times."Well don't worry I'm a big boy." I walked over to the back door. Maybe some stargazing could wash the embarrassment."That's what I worry about." She said before I closed the door.I sat down on the lawn chair and stared up at the sky. Ash and I used to do that before the little incident. I shook my head. He hadn't done anything to me yet so why would I bring him up? I miss him. I did so not miss him. I crossed my arms. There was no way I could miss someone who could throw me so easily away. Just because I could have done something stupid or mean by accident.There was a scratching at the fence door and I slowly made my way over. I opened the door slightly and was surprised to see Fluffy, the neighbors cat, scratching the door. I gave a little smile and let him go inside."Tracey..." I turned looked and nearly tripped over a rock. Ash was leaning against a tree."What the fuck are you doing here?" I put my hand over my chest, my heart was beating fast. "Leave my friends alone or you will get hurt..." Ash face was stern and dark."News check their my friends now also. You have no power over me Ash. Also I don't take kindly to threats..." I glared at him and crossed my arms. "They have a right to be who ever's friends.""They do but not you!" He pushed himself from the tree and looked down at me. Fear was one thing I was feeling but I crushed it."Who says?" I looked back at him."I do!" His eyes pierced mine and I held my ground."You don't own them and you don't mean anything to me. You made sure of that..." I looked over to the side. "I don't know what I did to make you hate me but I won't let you decide who can be my friends!""I don't hate you..." He said lowly."Then why each time I get near you with our friends, you get all angry?" I turned to look at him. Something flashed in his eyes."Because there are things you don't know and you will get hurt!" He growled out."Me get hurt? How? They don't seem to be like you! I highly doubt they would become my best friends and one day start hating me!" I wanted so bad to punch him."I. Don't. Hate. You." He growled out each word."Yes, you do! Don't Underage Lolitas you lie! Just me being here right now I can see how angry you are!""Angry for another reason not you..." He looked over to the side. "You just don't understand...""Don't understand what? That maybe your friends like me more than just friends and you don't like that?" I shook my head. "I should have known. That would make perfect sense," I made sure my voice had venom. "You know maybe I should just hate you..."He was silent."The friendship we had before was all just a joke to you wasn't it?" He was quiet. "Guess that means I'm right doesn't it?" I sighed. "I can't believe I even cared for you once.""What?" I heard him take a deep breath."Yup, I cared for you a lot but after you went crazy on me I just couldn't. Why should I?" I shook my head again. At least I could get some closure. "You don't like me and I will not like you either. Just don't talk to me," I took a deep breath. "I know you hate me and I hate you! You're dead to me and for sure I'm dead to you." I turned around and started walking.There was a little noise and next thing Underage Lolitas I knew I was on something going really fast. I closed my eyes as the air went passed my body. I gripped on what ever I was on top off and next thing I new my back was pressed up against something hard. I moved my hands to the side and felts bark, I was pushed up against a tree.I looked up and met face to face with Ash. I looked down and automatically looked back up. He was stark naked. I blushed and closed my eyes. He was really close to me, I could feel his breath pass by my face."I..." He paused and I heard him take a deep breath. "Don't hate you. Nor do I want you to be dead to me.""You are lying and why are you nake-" His lips pressed against mine. My eyes were wide open and I felt his body press against mine."I'm not lying..." I blushed when his face rubbed against mine. "Why would I hate you... you don't even know why. But I can't be with you..." I let out a moan as his lips touched the crook of my neck. "Animus materia."I gave a little shiver when his teeth nipped my neck. Someone had pointy teeth. "What does that mean?""You know what it means... Materia...." I heard him take a quick breath. I resisted the urge to touch his skin. It was right there. Unprotected by anything. But I closed my eyes, resisting temptation."Why... are you doing this?" I gave a little whimper when he bit down on my neck and started sucking."Because I don't want you to hate me..." He whispered below my ear. "On the contrary you are my animus...""I'm your what?" I gave a little whimper as he lifted me up and but my legs around his waist."Animus...." He whispered under my ear. He licked and sucked lightly."If... you do anything..." I held in a little moan. "To me I will hate you...""I won't do anything you don't want me to do..." I felt his nose Underage Lolitas on my neck. "Animus..." He breath on my neck and I shivered."Then stop..." This wasn't right. "We shouldn't do this."He took a deep breath again and lowered me down. I didn't fail to notice something big was pointing up. I just ignored it as it lifted my shirt up a little. "Sorry. Couldn't control myself there for a minute."I nodded. Neither could I. For those few seconds it was like he possessed everything of me. Mind and body. "Why did you do it though?"He didn't even care that he was naked as I fixed my clothes a little. I tried my best to ignore is body, if I didn't watch myself he wouldn't be the only one up. I blushed, when I caught a Underage Lolitas glimpse of his naked body again. Pale and muscly, a some hair on his chest and other parts. I blushed harder and turned to the side."Like I said I don't hate you. It's the opposite," He looked over to the side. "I do what I do to keep you safe.""Keep me safe?" He nodded, not looking at me. Something clicked. Sam and Ms. Candy talked about someone not wanting them to talk to someone. Or him rather and then Ash got angry when Sam was with me. I was the him and the one who doesn't want them near me was Ash. "You told Isaac and Sam to keep away from me didn't"He turned around sharply and rose an eyebrow. Underage Lolitas "How did you know? Did they say something?" I shook my head. "Then how?""I over heard something when I was in the nurse's office. Why did they say they shouldn't get near me for my safety?" Another thought struck my head. "And why are you naked?"He shook his head. "Why are you here?" I was silent, was he talking to me? "Well?""Sheesh can't you not be a bastard!?" Sam walked out from behind a tree and Isaac fallowed soon after.My eyes got huge, both of them were naked. They were just like Ash, had muscles and a hair in a few places. I blushed and turned around facing the tree. At least they weren't up like Ash was, if you Underage Lolitas catch my drift."I'm what I am because of my friends..." Ash Underage Lolitas said with a chuckle. That was a strange thing to hear, since mostly what I heard from him was anger."Shit head..." Sam gave a little laugh. "Why did you bring him here? Wasn't it you that said he should be left alone?""Yet, you broke what I said." Ash snapped."No promises." Isaac said calmly."You kept it till now with or without a promise. Why now?" Ash leaned against the tree, next to me. I continued to look at the tree. Wondering when they would stop talking like I wasn't there. Not that I didn't mind not seeing them naked."We missed him." Sam whispered. I almost missed it."You know the risks if he is with us." I saw Ash give one of them a stern look."Yet you where giving him your scent?""Shove it Isaac," Ash put his hand on his head and shook it. "It was a lapse in judgment. It won't happen again.""Fine, if you don't want him than I will take him." I heard Sam's voice come closer."Do it and you die." Ash moved and covered my body with his, at least from what I could tell. Still didn't want to turn around here."Tough talk for someone who wants to give up his Materia. If Sam doesn't have the balls to fight you, I do.""I haven't given up on him! What would you do if it was your Materia?" Ash growled out."He could just easily be mine as yours," Isaac growled out. "You got him once but can you again?" There was a pause. "If he was mine I would fight for him not leave him alone.""You are not the same as me." Ash growled again. What was it with the growling?"You know as well as we do, that for your Materia you do anything. No matter what happens, you protect them and love them." Sam had his turn for a growl. What was it? Volleyball but growl style? Who ever served talked in a growl?I was surprised that they still didn't even acknowledge my existence. They could have at least told me what the hell was going on right? What the hell was Materia?"FINE!" Ash gave a load howl.I turned my head around and pushed my back to the tree. Ash ran towards Isaac at full speed, something about his body was weird. In a flash he was a giant black and white wolf. There was a howl from the side, I turned and saw Sam run towards the wolf. The same thing was happening to him and soon he was replaced by a giant red wolf."Tracey stay were you are and don't move!" Isaac yelled out and jumped on the red wolf, in the air he gave a loud howl and he shifted into a full black wolf.My eyes were wide as red wolf slammed into the oreo wolf. (Hey give me a break. What else could I say?) The oreo wolf slide a little bit but bite down on the red wolfs foot. The black wolf pounce on both wolves and rammed the oreo one to the side.Have to stop them, I thought. But how could I?The red wolf got the black one by the tail and pulled him off the oreo one. Black turned around and slashed against the red wolfs side. Red let out a whimper but kicked the black one in a flip. Oreo shook his head and turned to look at me for a second before he howled and took down black in a pounce.There has to be a way to stop them.I bit my lip. My eyes started watering when the wolves rammed each other and slide to the backwards. They were hurting each other, for what me? "Stop!" I yelled but they ran towards each other. "STOP!" I yelled as loud as I could.They stopped mid run and turned my way. "Please stop," I fell on my knees. "Don't hurt each other. Friends aren't suppose to fight each other.""Can't believe we did this again," I heard Sam give a chuckle and took a deep breath. "Damn your claws are sharp Isaac.""Of course unlike you I make sure everything is sharp," Isaac gave a little chuckle, "Sorry about that Tracey.""No more tears okay?" Ash leaned down close to me. "Sorry, we shouldn't have gone like that. Sometimes the wolf in us goes a little crazy." He gave a little chuckle. "So okay?"I gave a little sniffle and whipped away the tears. "Take me home.""But-" I stopped Ash with my finger."We need to talk later. All of us. But for right now can you take me home? Mom would be worried if I don't come back."Ash nodded and lifted me up."Tomorrow is Saturday so we can have the whole day to talk. Good for you Tracey?" I nodded. Sam gave me a little smile. "Ash make sure you don't take to long. We need to talk also. Night Tracey.""Night Sam. Night Issac." Ash closed his eyes and started shaking, there was a little flash and he was wolf again."See you tomorrow." Isaac gave me a little wave as I got on the wolf, the wolf or rather Ash was nudging me. I gripped on his collar fur and soon he started running, I closed my eyes and wished to be home soon. Soon he stopped and I felt his skin against the palm of my hands. I immediately jumped off his back and blushed. "I'll pick you up early in the morning. Sorry I should have kept my mouth shut and left you alone." Ash lifted his hand but but it back on his side."See you then." I gave a little nod and gave him a little look. He shifted back and ran back the way we came. I went inside the house and went into my room. What the hell was going on?Long, long, ago."What are you going to do today son?" Father took out a scroll and started marking down a few things.I took an apple from the bowl and took a little bit. I swallowed, "Going to take care of the plants in the sanctuary.""That's Underage Lolitas good, today there will be meeting concerning the wolves. So it would be best if you did not go out. The rest of the young ones will be home anyway."I nodded. I took a pale of water and made sure that father was still reading before I left. Making sure that I had some sort of rags, I made myself into the Sanctuary. I went down the spiraling trail and headed into the cave.Father didn't know about the cave. Or rather he didn't mention it yet. The three wolves were still sleeping. I dipped the rags in water and started whipping the blood from each wolf. They hadn't killed me and I didn't want them to die. If I didn't treat them they could die from infection.After cleaning them I, sneaked back into the church and stole some meat. Maybe if I was nice to them and gave them food they wouldn't try to kill me. When I returned to the cave I put the dry rags on top of the wolves. I made a little fire, couldn't really make a big one, and took out a scroll from my bag. Someone had to be on guard duty right?One of the wolves moved a little bit and gave a little whimper. I put the scroll down and walked towards the wolves. The black and white one gave a little whimper. I put my hand on his head and was surprised to find it hot. Feverish. I checked the other wolves and they were the same. I dipped the wet rags again and placed them on top of their heads.It was the only thing I remembered about fevers. For the next few days I took care of the barely moving wolves. Giving them water and food were rather difficult, they had big teeth and I worried about losing my hands. Soon I was able to actually put my hand in their mouths to make sure the food was in there."Hi there big guy are you feeling better?" The black and white wolf slowly opened his eyes. Once his eyes landed on me he started tensing. "Guess that means you are better huh?" I reached over to the side and took out a piece of meat. "Hungry?" I tossed it to him and kept myself eye level.It stared at me for a few seconds before it attacked the meat. I slowly made my way to the water pale and put some water into a bowl. If it was that hungry maybe some water could help. I placed it next to the sleeping red wolf and sat down near the fire. When it finished the meat it looked at me before going close to the bowl. It gave it a sniff before taking a little cautious lick. When it started licking more I tilted my head.Male wolf. So they were all male wolves. When I moved the others I took not of their gender. The black and white one was on its stomach when I brought him into the cave, so I couldn't tell before. Not that I wanted to check out a wolves package anyway.After it finished drinking he looked at me with cautious eyes. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." I gave it a little smile before taking out another piece of meat. I wouldn't hurt it, I wouldn't be risking my life if I was. "Still hungry?" I lifted the meat up slowly. I doubted it understood me but if I kept myself calm maybe it wouldn't hurt me.It looked at the meat and back at me. It moved closer slowly, looking at my reaction I presumed. I kept my breathing slow as it slowly made its way towards me. It gave my hand a sniff before it took the meat from my hand and started eating. "That's a good boy." I smiled and slowly rose my hand. "Can I pet you?" I asked.It stopped eating for a second and teared into it again. Taking that as a good sign I put my hand on its head. Soft and warm. I smiled. At least it didn't want to kill me, yet. I gave it another piece of meat when it finished. I frowned when I noticed I ran out. At least I was going to the market tomorrow. Maybe I could get more. Father noticed that we were running low on meat this morning too. Though he thought I was starting to eat meat.I for one did not like the killing of animals for their meat. When it finished it looked at me expectantly. "Sorry boy but I don't have any more right now." It gave a little whine and sat down, staring at me. I stared back and it continued it gaze. At least it wasn't digging it teeth into my skin Underage Lolitas at least."Sephy! Where are you? Dusk is approaching!" I heard fathers voice ring out.I stood up and so did the wolf, its body was tense and at full alert."Don't worry he doesn't know about you," I patted its head before I ran out the cave. I made my way up the trail and gave my Underage Lolitas father a smile. "Sorry father I saw a little Robbin nearby.""Don't Underage Lolitas go to far away from the Sanctuary." He shook his head and started walking back towards the church, with me at his feet. I made my way towards the cave, having done the shopping and getting extra meat of course. When I reached the cave I was surprised to see that the two sleeping wolves were no longer sleeping. All three wolves went on guard when I entered the cave but the black and white one gave a little whine and they relaxed."So are you hungry?" I reached into my bag and took out a piece of meat. The black and white wolf slowly made his way towards and sniffed the meat again. I felt his tongue on my fingertips before he took the meat out of my hands.He started eating it slowly. The other two wolves slowly made their way towards me. "Guess you two want some too," I reached inside and took out a few more pieces and tossed it to them. They sniffed the meat before they started eating. I walked closed to the wall, not wanting to make them angry, and started the fire again.I put filled the bowl with water again and sat down close to the fire. Some protection, right? I took out a scroll and started reading again. I did make sure to keep an eye on them. Red was drinking water, Black was chewing and staring at me, and the last one was making its way towards me."What are you still hungry?" I reached over to my bag and searched for some meat. When I looked to the side I gave a little gasp."Why are you helping us?"Present.I took out a cup and poured orange juice into it. Okay, so lets see if I'm actually crazy. I took a drink and pinched myself. Nope still real. I gave a little sigh, damn. Mom was off to work and I was waiting for Ash. Though I still told myself that it was all a dream. However the strands of fur on my clothes said other wise."What am I going to do?" I gave another sigh."Come with me and understand a few things." I jumped and around the room, my eyes landed on a naked Ash. I blushed and put my hand on my chest."How did you get in my house? And why are you naked?" I turned around and started to wash my cup. Anything to keep my eyes away from his nakedness."Shifting destroys my clothes, so nakedness is a side affect. Getting inside your house is easy. You left your window open."He used to get inside my house by sneaking into my room via the window. "Can't you keep some clothes nearby or something?" I looked at him and immediately looked to the side, blushing. He was leaning against the wall."Why? I like being naked. Less constricting," I saw his eyebrow lift up. "Have a problem with me being naked?""Yes. It's weird seeing you naked," I looked at him again and blushed harder. "What if my mom shows up?""She won't I'll smell her from far away," He tapped his nose. "Senses are amplified. Not to mention if she did walk in she would just find you here alone."I rose my eyebrow."I can be super fast if I want to. How is seeing me naked weird?" His face got a little grin."How can it not be? I haven't seen you naked before. Well not since yesterday at least." I blushed at the memory of the three guys naked."Get that thought out of your mind." He growled."What?""Isaac and Sam.""What about them?" I rose my eyebrow. There was no way he could know what I just thought of."Don't think of them naked." He pursed his lips into a tight line."It's a free country. Nothing stopping me from thinking about that." I gave him a wink and started to walk to the door.He appeared right in front of me. "You are mine!" He growled mine and I shivered. "Your thoughts should only involve me and me alone.""Possessive bas-" -tard. His lips landed on mine and he pulled my body into his. Damn.******************************************************************************* ^^ So how do you guys like this story? Reviews anyone don't be shy ^^.()() (^^)

Hotel Cavo Tagoo, Mykonos Town, Mykonos
Editor's Pick
Greece 84600
Tel: 30 22890 20100
Concierge.com's insider take:
When an architect is given free license by a hotel owner to create a new look for a property—which usually happens only if the architect is the owner—the result is sometimes successful. And so it seems to be with the Hotel Cavo Tagoo, which was revamped by its owner, award-winning Greek architect and builder Paris Liakos. To the 69 existing rooms and suites, all updated to exude a minimalist Cyclades chic, 11 suites were added in summer 2008. The new suites have private pools and are adorned with art objects that are hard to ignore, such as a full-size, all-white sculpture of a donkey. The most interesting architectural element, however, is the way the natural surroundings are worked into the design—for example, a slice of cliff facade on display behind a glass wall in the lobby. The new, Mediterranean menu by chef Nikos Skliras seems to have passed muster, too, with the crowd settling in for the evening at the poolside tables (recently including designers Giorgio Armani and Jean Paul Gaultier and supermodel Karolina Kurkova). A shortcoming here is that the hotel is tantalizingly close to walking distance from Mykonos Town, but the walk requires guests to negotiate a narrow cliff-side road whose risk factor for pedestrians ranges from hazardous to deadly.
Closed October 22 through May 14.

About Me Followed international cricket since 1992. I am aware of India's legendary cricketers of the past.
I am the happiest person when Rahul Dravid pulls/hooks a bouncer to the deep mid wicket or deep square leg fence for four. Especially when he shifts his weight from front foot to back foot and rolls his wrists over the ball to keep on the ground...it reminds me of his centuries in tests vs South Africa in South Africa.
I hate the concept of 20-20. At the same time I like RCB!! See any contradiction...
I am the most fanatic RCB fan because... ...I am not the most fanatic RCB fan. Yes, that is the very reason I am here to blog for them. I believe that RCB stands for "Right Spirit" (what a wonderful combination...Kumble likes to play cricket in right spirit, Dr Mallya wants people to appreciate "spirit" in the right way... :-)
You might think that my spellings have gone all wrong. How can RCB stand for Right Spirit? It should be RS, doesn' it? Well...that is the way it is. Cricket is one of the most unpredictable games on this planet, you see.
Strategy Map for RCB - Airtel Champions LeagueMy preferred line up : In batting order
M.Pandey, J. Ryder, V.Kohli, R.Dravid, R. Taylor, M. Boucher(wk), P. Kumar, R. Vinay Kumar, B Akhil, D. W. Steyn, A. Kumble (c), and R. van der Merwe
why do I prefer this line up : I can think only of cricketing reasons. I do not write names because I like people. Please see my opening match strategy. You will come to know why I recommend this line up.
My opening match strategy: I do not believe in "go ahead and give your best" policy.
Bat first to get 200 or Field first to restrict opposition to less than 130. Sounds too simple to me.
I do not believe in "keeping it simple all the time". Because most of the times things are not simple.
Be ready to either bat or field first. It is all "probability theory"!!
If Batting First:
Unfortunately, RCB is full of right handed batsmen. Hence, Ryder gets a go ahead. He also bowls a bit. You need variety.
Send in Kohli at 3. (Kohli and Dravid at 3 and 4-Flexible)
If we are going anything less than or equal to 8 an over when third wicket goes down, send Boucher at No 5.
Anything better than 8 per over, send in Taylor at No 5. (Boucher and Taylor at 5 and 6-Flexible)
Pravin, Vinay, Steyn and Kumble follow. Ideally the last two should not be required to bat.
If Fielding First:
I pick Steyn ahead of Kallis because of his pace. You need fast bowlers to remove lower order batsmen. Open with Steyn and Praveen. Give them atleast 2 overs each.
Kumble should bring himself or B Akhil on very early. Probably share 2 overs with Vinay Kumar at one end. Try Ryder in between.
Kumble, Praveen and Steyn finish the last 6 overs between them.
Kumble has lot of faith in van der Merwe. I would not stop him, if likes to play Merwe ahead of any other player of his choice.
No Peiterson in my line up. He needs re-hab.
Many other nitty gritties are there. I shall write them in detail once I start blogging for RCB.
My best T20 match:
I know that Ian Chappell remembers cricket trivia like a computer. I cannot. I remember moments in a match. I remember special pieces of commentary. I remember some important shots and how they reached the fence. I remember some important deliveries that missed the batsman's bat or hit him. I do not remember dates.

Robin's Healthy Take: Fast, Fiery and Under $5
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, February 17, 2011Robin cooked up these healthy, budget-friendly recipes this morning on the Today Show!
When I was deciding what recipes to cook for my Today Show appearance, the producer suggested something "fast and fiery." Since fast dishes are my mantra (Quick Fix Meals, anyone?) and making spicy dishes is simple, I challenged myself by making each dish for $5 or less. Not $5 per person, but five smackers each for a fabulous, four-serving main dish, side dish and dessert.
Even better, the ingredient lists are super-short and each dish comes together in a flash. Here's how you make this meal for dinner tonight.
Spicy Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 4
1 pound fettuccine
2 cups low-fat or fat-free milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons extra-spicy seasoning blend
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolk and seasoning blend in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in drained fettuccine and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground pepper.
Garlic Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
Serves 4
4 beefsteak or other vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preheat broiler. Halve tomatoes crosswise (through the equator) and place flesh-side up on a baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and season with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Combine Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each tomato half. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes soften. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.
Coconut Macaroons
Makes 24 cookies
2/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 14-ounce bag shredded sweetened coconut (about 3 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla and salt. Fold in the coconut until well-incorporated. Drop by tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Easter Egg Safety
by Toby Amidor in Easter, Food Safety, Healthy Holidays, March 27, 2013
Easter wouldn't be complete without brightly-colored eggs and a full out egg hunt. But who wants to ruin the festivities with spoiled eggs?
Food Safety Basics
Eggs are considered a potentially hazardous food that may cause illness if they're not handled correctly. Raw and undercooked eggs have been associated with salmonella poisoning. Most folks infected with the salmonella bacteria develop symptoms about 12 to 72 hours after infected. Most people can recover but if symptoms are severe, hospitalization may be required especially in those with a compromised immune system (like the very young and old). Proper handling, cooking, and hand washing can prevent most of the issues.
Keeping Eggs Safe
Egg safety begins at your market and continues until the time when you reserve leftovers.
- Purchasing: Inspect egg cartons at the market. Don't purchase cracked or dirty eggs and be sure to check the sell-by date. Eggs should always be refrigerated, even when on display.
- Storing: Be sure to get those eggs home quickly. They shouldn't sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours—1 hour if it's above 90 degrees. Once home, place the eggs in your refrigerator immediately.
- Preparing: When preparing eggs, wash your hands, any utensils, and surfaces that will come into contact with the eggs. If you're not sure if the eggs are safe to eat, toss them. Once the equipment is used for the eggs, be sure to wash them with soap and warm water immediately. Don't use them for another prep task (that's cross-contamination!).
- Cooking: Always make sure that your eggs are safe to eat. For hard-boiled (or any cooked) eggs, you want to cook the eggs until both the white and yolk are firm. Learn how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- Leftovers: Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They shouldn't be frozen.
Decorating Basics
If you love dyeing Easter eggs, following safe food safety practices is important.
- Cook and refrigerate: Once boiled eggs are properly cooled, place in the refrigerator. When you're ready to decorate, just grab them from the fridge.
- Food-friendly dye: If you're planning on eating the eggs after decorating them, only use dyes made for food. Avoid hardware store paint or kids art project dyes.
- Paint and store: Once you've finished dyeing each egg, put them right back in the refrigerator so the eggs stay cool.
- A few at a time: If you're dyeing lots of eggs, work on smaller batches of 4-5 or so at a time, then get them right back into the refrigerator.
- When in doubt, toss it out: If the eggs are left over the 2 hour mark (1 hour if left at temperatures over 90 degrees), throw them out.
