The monotone beating of the axes resounded through the woods. Elduin could hear it well. The sounds of steel on bark and splintering wood seemed to enter his ears and seep through the core of his being. He endured it like physical pain, like the axes were striking into his body instead. The Greenskins who had killed Cenarius, they still had the audacity to come into their woods and cause even more mayhem. Elduin grit his teeth as the grip on his staff slowly tightened. The pain was slowly becoming unbearable. The druid's amber eyes searched the trees and he tried to concentrate on something different than the woodcutting orcs in the distance. He failed.
Elduin experienced a seldom loss of patience. It was an uncommon experience for a timeless being like him to lose his patience, but ever since the death of Cenarius, he was becoming more and more prone to it. Where in Elune's name was Ishrien? The renegade sentinel was supposed to have returned by now. This wasn't like her. She was one of his best. The girl was headstrong and sometimes stubborn, but nevertheless resourceful and reliable. He just hoped he hadn't lost her like he had lost so many others already. The numbers of his followers were dwindling, and they had virtually no allies left.
The druid fought to keep his anger under control, and failed. Why? Why had his own people condemned him? For the survival of the race, the druid and his scarce followers had embraced darker powers, powers that had made their way back to Azeroth together with the demonic Burning Legion. If their enemies had access to such powers, why would the night elves have to hesitate to use them against their enemies, when the power was in reach? The survival of the race was at stake.
Elduin remembered the discussions he had held with the inhabitants of his hometown, the one he had abandoned. 'They are demon-spawned wretches and must be purged!' he had bellowed. 'They stood with us against the Legion and did not bow to them willingly' the reply had come. 'The curse is in their blood, the rage is. Even with the pit lord Mannoroth dead, the orcs are nothing like the peaceful shamanistic people they claimed they once were. If allowed to live, they will become a threat to all we hold dear. We must claim all the power we possibly can and eradicate their kind before we suffer the fate we wish upon them,' Elduin had pleaded with them, but it had fallen on deaf ears like so many times before. His people were always much too confident, too confident in a good outcome. Elduin dared not say it out loud, but his kind was well on the way to becoming complacent. Their last words still rang in his ears. 'If you continue on this path you desire, you will eventually become as lost in rage as so many of the forest creatures who came in touch with demonic energies before you. Our traditional strength has withstood countless challenges for thousands of years. It will not fail us now.'
So outraged he had been that he had turned his back on his fellow night elves and announced with a final snarl: 'I will not let ignorance guide my path, or allow it to lead my people to ruin. Anyone who has the will to truly save our people, follow me.' Fewer than he had hoped had followed, even though more had joined him recently. Many of those had already fallen. Elduin suppressed the longing he felt to return to those simpler days, to his village. His jaw tightened. No, he didn't long for them at all. He did what had to be done, why could they not see? The new Warchief, that senseless brute Garrosh, should be more than proof enough. If half the things the eyes and ears in Elduin's service had told him were true, his worst fears were beginning to take shape.
A faint rustling only his night elf ears could catch broke the druid out of his worried thoughts. Just to be on the safe side he momentarily fixed his powerful grip on his staff, until the face he had been expecting to see appeared before him. Ishrien never wasted a lot of time with formalities. In a way her attitude almost reminded him a little of the humans he had seen her take so much interest in. Elduin eyed her up briefly. Although Ishrien had no doubt made haste, she showed no signs of fatigue. 'The corruption' his night elf brethren called it, but she had embraced the new ways as he had and there were no signs about her that would identify her as being 'corrupted', not one. Elduin had several faint, thin black streaks running over his forearms, but he was more reliant on his magic than any of his followers, and that slight change to his appearance still did not put him on the same level as for instance a satyr, naga, or any of the bastard races for that matter. Elduin had convinced himself he would never be truly corrupted as long as he upheld his righteous cause.
"Shan'do Elduin, it is as we feared," the girl announced worriedly. "The orcs have set up another lumber camp. They have constructed watch towers and set many sentry wards to guard against our approach. I had trouble getting close to them."
That came as no surprise, but it still displeased Elduin. He and his followers were among the few who had reached for darker powers, but they were by far not the only ones willing to protect their homeland or punish the murderers of Cenarius. It was only natural that the orcs had grown more cautious. His question was simple and brisk:
"How many?"
"Too many, Shan'do. They have brought over three hundred of their ilk, and many of them are warriors."
Three hundred, Elduin thought, his scarred face remaining expressionless. Against so many his small band of renegades could achieve very little. The lowly peons were of little concern, but if he wanted to assault a fortified camp, even their spears could prove troublesome if they chose to hide in their burrows. Elduin's warriors could always try to pick them off one by one, but that would never be sufficient to get rid of the entire camp.
"Too many," Elduin repeated, be it grudgingly. The druid muttered the words again and again as he was sunk in thought. It was too late to turn back now. His people would never accept him again. They'd have to carry on with what they were doing or die trying. If Ishrien perceived his doubt, she ignored it.
"Too many, or rather, too few of us. We can smash their nests as many times as we like, Shan'do, but we will never be rid of them as long as we don't break them at their core," Ishrien said with the calm and cool, but uncalculated confidence only youth could provide.
That caught Elduin's attention. It was a mad thought, but somehow still appealing. To sneak deeply into orc territory and put an end to the Warchief himself or perhaps devise a grand plot to decimate the orc population... It seemed like it was worth the risk. One final blaze of glory to prove he was right, be it with a small chance of success, could mean he hadn't thrown the purpose of his life away. Embarking on this venture sounded like a death sentence, but if he died as a martyr while achieving something grand, perhaps it would prove those who had condemned him wrong, and inspire others to follow in his footsteps.
"Are you suggesting that we should fight the orcs on their own ground, child?" When he said it out loud, the plan suddenly didn't seem as brilliant anymore.
The smile on Ishrien's beautiful face was as faint as a winter sun.
"It's not their ground, and besides, there are others," she said, a mysterious twinkle in her eye.
"The Horde has many enemies, none of which will drive them out of Kalimdor any time soon, if my informants can still be relied upon," Elduin said.
Ishrien was as playful as a dryad. He could tell she was hiding something.
"Not all of the Horde's enemies are currently committed to fighting them. There are others, like the humans who encroached upon their lands when their nation had only just emerged. The Kul Tiras marines."
The eyes and ears in Elduin's service had told him enough about those humans. A small number of them remained on the shores of Durotar, the rest of them had succumbed to the leadership of Jaina Proudmoore and were no longer committed to fighting the Horde.
"Your optimism is commendable child, but this is sheer folly. The marines you speak of were crushed, destroyed by the savages. What little remains of them is barely a threat to the orcs at all. I hardly understand why they would still oppose the Horde."
"Duty. Honour," Ishrien said, deadly serious. "The same reasons I follow you."
That left Elduin momentarily speechless, but his young consort waited patiently for his reply. She knew him well enough to realize she had caught his interest, he could tell, but nevertheless Elduin was not yet convinced. Far from it, even.
"They're likely all dead by now. What good would such a small force do us?"
"There are more of them," Ishrien continued confidently.
"More?" Elduin repeated the word distrustfully before his young consort could continue. The idea of finding an unoccupied army of humans who hated the orcs would be like finding a village of Night Elves in the middle of the woods that would suddenly agree to follow his ways and become devoted to his cause. Highly unlikely, and too good to be true. Something he dreamed of, but never truly held possible. The younger Night Elf was untouched by his doubt. She nodded.
"More. While I was in Durotar, I came by Tiragarde keep. It seemed unwise to approach the humans directly, so I listened in on them to learn anything about the orcs in the area. Their men spoke of one 'Lieutenant Alverold', whose return they awaited. Apparently this lieutenant had been sent to map Kalimdor's shores, while their Grand Admiral led the assault against the orcs. They contemplated sending someone after the expedition to inform him of the fate that had befallen their admiral and themselves. The marines seemed convinced that this Alverold would turn his sails and return to help them in their fight if he learned about their situation. One of the men contemplated that it wouldn't be possible to find them or even gain on them... lest you had wings," Ishrien said, and her eyes sparkled once more.
She smiled briefly. "I have to admit, the contents of their kitchens were another source of my interest and reason for my presence." A guilty look crossed her face. The girl was far too curious than was good for her, and had a hard time keeping her hands off of anything that piqued her interest. A lot of his things had disappeared after Ishrien had first started working for him, only to reappear in different places shortly after he'd asked her about them.
Elduin remained silent as he pondered on her words. Good news was something he hadn't had in so long that it seemed alien to him at first. He had sent Ishrien to spy on Durotar, but he'd never expected it to yield such results. "You could have told me this before," he said, perhaps a little bit too harshly.
Ishrien shuffled her feet and crossed her arms behind her back innocently. "It never crossed my mind to share this with you as it seemed insignificant and nothing of our concern, but now that the odds are stacked against us as they are..." she said apologetically, blushing a little.
It was obvious for Elduin what his audacious consort was hinting at. He could soar above the clouds and travel safely and with a good chance of tracing this lost fleet, but none of his followers would be able to come along. Besides, it felt like running away, something he hadn't ever done in all his life. The druid shook his head.
"I cannot abandon my task here, Ishrien. You are in too much danger as you are already. Without me, you'll surely perish."
"Your task no longer lies here, Elduin. It is our task to inflict as much damage as we can upon the Horde, through any means we may seek to seize. You are the only one of us who can do this, Shan'do. You may yet exact the vengeance you desire, even if it should happen through others."
"So I am to scour the seas for a supposed fleet of human ships and convince them to turn their sails to destroy the Horde... And abandon all of you to your fates?"
Ishrien realized full well what would become of Elduin's tiny band of renegades without the druid to guide them. She was strangely calm.
"All night eves will suffer the same fate if the Horde is allowed to march upon us unchecked. You have a duty to your entire people, not just those of us who chose to follow you," she said.
Elduin weighed up his options. He had already given up so much on his quest to destroy the orcs
but still he doubted whether he could give up this, his warband, the last family he had. A sudden sound off in the distance, in the direction of the lumber camp, broke him out of his thoughts. Ishrien had noticed it as well.
"Fandu-dath belore?" the girl called softly. She kept her voice low and soft to make sure only elven ears would pick up its sound, and definitely not the wretched Greenskins. Being the renegades they were, it would not guarantee their safety if it was a band of night elves heading towards them, but at least then there was a chance they could avoid a fight. Suddenly they heard raw voices and the splintering of wood further up. The orcs were not masking their approach. Once they would perhaps have sent out the more cautious dark trolls ahead of them in an attempt to surprise them, but no more. Those times were gone. The Horde had changed, and not for the better. What they had given up in caution they had made up for in brutality, Elduin figured.
Dogs tend to take a likeness to their masters, the druid thought bitterly as he envisioned a hideous image of this new Warchief, the wretched brute Garrosh, before his mind's eye.
"Not night elves," he growled. "Orcs. We've been discovered."
It was not like him to let his guard down. Perhaps they had spent too much time talking. Ishrien's tale had captivated him more than he would like to admit. The raw voices quickly grew louder, coming closer. As he prepared himself for battle he felt the presence of his magic rising to its boiling point within him. It made Elduin more sensitive to the magic around him as well, allowing him to discover just what is was that had given them away. There, hidden in the undergrowth, was an orcish sentry ward. A miniature totem with a magic eye on top, it was shrouded by magic, and its presence meant whoever had placed it was able to see them.
"Tor ilisar'thera'nal!" Elduin exclaimed, frustrated that his earlier assessment on the Horde had been proven wrong so swiftly. He swung his staff in anger, and the purple magic blast that flew from the edge of his staff exploded the sentry ward in a million fragments without leaving even the slightest impression on the undergrowth.
"They are coming! Bandu'thoribas!" Ishrien called as she drew her knives, no longer bothering to keep down her beautiful voice, which was rich with power and conviction. Even though Elduin admired the girl's zeal, he took her by the shoulder and pulled her back.
"This is no mere scout party. Surely if they already knew we were here they will be coming in greater numbers. We must run to fight another day. Perhaps if we can lure them with us, the brutes' noise will alarm our sisters in time and allow them to set an ambush. Come!" he called, pulling the girl with him.
She sheathed her weapons and reluctantly followed, noticing Elduin was not running at his fastest possible pace. As they left the small clearing, the first green brute burst from the tree line with a cracking of branches. The steel of his axe was stained with old blood. Ishrien stopped for just as long as it took for her to ascertain he could see her, and then sprinted after Elduin.
Allowing the orcs to follow them soon proved to be a mistake. She'd already thought they had spent too much time being watched, that she'd heard footsteps all around them, but she had been too caught up in trying to convince Elduin of her plan to pay much heed to this. Furthermore she had trusted in Elduin's senses. That, too, had been a mistake. The branches to Elduin's left suddenly shattered, and out burst a warrior clad in red hides and armour plating. On the monstrous arm that held up his axe the silhouette of a screaming face had been tattooed in blood red ink: the sign of the Warsong clan. Elduin tried to pull his body back but his speed worked against him, and his staff would be of little use in such close quarters. As the orc brought his axe down one of Ishrien's throwing knives disappeared in his eye socket, the force with which it penetrated his skull and brain knocking his head backwards. His body soon followed, fallen branches cracking loudly in protest as they got crushed under his weight. The warrior's axe only missed Elduin by a shred.
"Make haste! They've nearly surrounded us!" Ishrien shouted without pause as she sped past the druid, her senses driven to their peak. She could hear the stomping of oversized feet, the snapping of branches and the grunting of orcs all around them.
The brutes were close. Two to her left, one to her right, speeding through the wilderness in an effort to keep up with her. As they ran the warriors made no effort to avoid the foliage that got in their way, smashing through everything that got in their path, apparently doing as much damage to the woods as they could. They growled at her and shouted obscenities as they dragged their axes across tree trunks and cut apart branches, leaving deep carvings. It was almost as if the warriors were trying to taunt her into standing her ground and facing them. Ishrien knew better than to give in to the brutes. If she made it in range of their crude, vengeful axes, she would be doomed. But that didn't mean they were just going to get away.
"Taste the wrath of the Goddess, wretches!" Ishrien exclaimed as she threw another knife to the one at her left, piercing the orc's gut. He crashed down heavily even though he was not dead yet, but another grunt quickly trampled over his comrade in his haste, the weight of his foot burying his comrade's face in the ground. The sheer bloodlust in the creature's eyes was terrifying to behold even to her, who had faced so many of the creatures already. Their bloodlust enhanced their ability to run, and the orcs followed both of the swift Night Elves for several minutes in a haphazard chase in which both parties had to watch out not to trip or slam into a tree. The Warsong orcs did not gain ground, but neither did they lose any. Ishrien realized that surely the slowest orcs must have already fallen behind by this point, but there were still more than they could handle in a stand-up fight.
My sisters, where are you? Ishrien thought as the lead orc burst from the treeline in front of her with bared teeth, swinging his massive axe at her midsection with both his hands. Ishrien reached up, caught an overhanging branch and flipped over the warrior, her heels hitting into his back and knocking him down as she came swinging around. She wasted no time and swung around again, letting go at the exact right moment to send herself careening through the air. For a few brief moments the young night elf could imagine how Elduin must have felt every time his wings had carried him through the clouds. She sailed through the air gracefully and landed with an equal amount of control. Ishrien allowed herself a smile as a storm crow passed over her shoulder and she saw how much her jump had put the orcs behind her. Without hesitation she ran on and on, following the storm crow flying before her. By the way Elduin had slowed down his pace - she knew the druid was capable of far greater speeds in his animal form - she could tell he was still hanging on to his original plan of luring the orcs into an ambush. Whether that was wise was beyond her, but there was no time to discuss it with Elduin right now.
The decision turned out to be a mistake, again.
"Merciful Goddess," Ishrien whispered as they came upon the camp Elduin and his followers had established mere days ago. Bodies of Greenskins and Night Elves alike were strewn across the area, and the fallen leaves that covered forest ground were wet and slick with blood. Elduin had arrived slightly before her. He was crouched down in his night elf form, his head hanging low. The druid seemed a broken man.
They had noticed the stench of death before they reached the site, but only realized it now. So fixed on their pursuers they had been, that neither of them had even wanted to consider that this could have happened to their comrades in arms while they were out. The Greenskins were still close behind them, and more burst from the shambling tents.
It's a trap! the girl realized with a shock.
"COME!" Ishrien called instinctively, driving her sadness and despair to the back of her mind and pulling Elduin up by his arm. Adrenaline guided her actions and gave her the strength she needed: Elduin had never felt this light. Against his will, it seemed, the druid followed after her.
"We still have a chance! The Fallen Ancient!" she called at Elduin, hoping her zeal would invigorate him, but he did not answer. The way he looked, she was already glad he didn't stop to wage a futile battle, or drop to the ground and deliver himself to the orcs.
The Fallen Ancient was exactly what the name suggested: the remains of an Ancient who had not survived the Warsong clan's first passing into night elf territory. The greater part of the creature had been cut apart and taken by the Warsong to resume its existence in the shape of an orcish settlement, but part of it still remained. Even in death, the skeleton - if one could call it that - of the ancient still served the night elves. He had collapsed against the cliffside behind him, right next to a majestic waterfall. The remains of his body could serve a ladder to the more agile creatures of the forest, providing easy access to the plateau above. The night elves were among the creatures nimble enough to climb it. Most orcs however, were not.
Arriving upon the small clearing on which the Fallen Ancient stood, Ishrien's heart immediately sunk to her stomach. Their path of escape had been cut off. The remains of the ancient had been cut to bits as a final insult to its memory, or rather a smart tactical decision by the orcs. Naturally. She stole a sideways glance at Elduin. The look in the druid's eyes told her he was enduring the same sense of despair she did. Death was not something to be feared, but it was different to those whose task was so far from being completed. They ran until they reached the cliffside and only then stopped, as if they had to get this close to believe the ancient was truly gone. They were both sick of running, being hunted on their own ground. To the left, the current cut off their escape, and the grunting and pounding of feet told them the orcs had been smart enough to flank their escape rather than go straight after them. They stopped dead in their tracks, ready for the end.
Even though they managed to kill Cenarius we still underestimated the Warsong, and it seems we are going to pay for it with our lives, Ishrien thought as she reached for her knives, the war cries behind her terrifyingly close now.
The young night elf turned, determined to give the first orc to appear a face full of throwing knives. She didn't have to wait long. Her feelings were too turbulent, and the skilled warrior caught the dagger on his bracer easily, drawing back a small axe for a throw without slowing his advance. The subsequent blast of magic however, did not leave anything but his smouldering lower body standing: this time his armour had been shredded like it had been made of paper. Ishrien's breath got stuck in her throat as Elduin stepped in front of her. She was amazed at the vigour he displayed, at the symbol of power he had once again become.
"Come you wretches! Even being struck down by the lethal grace of a Druid of the talon is too good a fate for your kind, but I shall bring it upon you nonetheless!" he defied his adversaries, even as the number of green-skinned shapes breaking unto the clearing made clear there was no hope for either of them.
Two more orcs charged and got dangerously close, but they were caught in a swirling cyclone that pulled them up into the air and then spat them out, sending the both of them hurtling into the trees. The cyclone stopped the others from advancing briefly, but the orcs were clearly not afraid of the druid, charging forward again the moment it subsided. Ishrien's last knife was wasted as the orc who caught it in his shoulder only stopped to pull it out.
When all hope seemed lost Ishrien suddenly noticed the familiar feel of moonlight kissing her skin. She looked up to see the eternal friend of any night elf to walk Azeroth appearing in the sky, and her despair suddenly subsided.
"Shan'do!" the girl shouted as she moved to block the druid from the approaching warriors. Elduin's staff was pointed at them threateningly, the tip bristling with magic. Having witnessed what had happened to their comrades, the orcs chose to spread out, encircling the night elves further and looking to take the druid out by surprise as Elduin's staff kept switching targets, but every time he pointed it at another orc the others would draw one step closer. Ishrien saw the conviction in his eyes and in that instance realized it would be difficult to make him back off from this fight.
"Elduin!" she called. "Remember what I said! What we talked about! Your destiny! Your duty! Remember! Do it! Do it for all of us! For all those who fell, and those who are to fall! For all those who have had their fates splintered by the fury of the Horde! Ash Karath!"
Ishrien perceived a change in her teacher. It happened slowly, but it was most certainly there. She knew him far too well not to see it: he was going to honour her wish if it was the last thing he did. He, who had been willing to throw away everything from the sanctuary of his village, to his age-old friends, he who had discarded his own personal safety and perhaps even his very own soul, all in order to avenge Cenarius and save their people from the Horde. Then with a flash he was gone and moments later a storm crow flew vertically up along the cliffside to safety, making an escape that was impossible for one such as her. Ishrien closed her eyes, content in knowing her task was done. With the threat of the druid's magic gone, the grunts roared and charged forward, content with taking out their frustration of letting Elduin slip through their fingers out on his consort. The brutes did not concern Ishrien. Her final thought before it happened went out to Elune.

INEOS bio-energy plant will take in Indian River County residents' yard waste
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — County residents will be able to help make bioethanol in coming months by dumping their own grass clippings and other yard waste at the INEOS New Planet Bio-Energy's new plant on Oslo Road, representatives said Wednesday.
Company President David King said he hopes to see the plant, southwest of Oslo Road and 74th Avenue, operating by the end of this year.
And then, project manager Jill Grimaldi said Wednesday, the county's two curbside waste-haulers, Waste Management and Treasure Coast Refuse, will take residents' yard wastes to the INEOS plant instead of to the county landfill.
But residents also could take their own loads there, she said.
"Say I take a truckload of palm fronds to the landfill, now I would go to INEOS," Grimaldi said.
And the county will pay INEOS to take it, at a rate of $9.25 a ton, sparing that cost for residents, according to the county's feedstock agreement with the company.
INEOS's patented process will use bacteria to produce ethanol from the gas of the fermented plant material. Plans call for the center to consume 150,000 tons annually of yard waste to produce 8 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol and 6 megawatts of electric power.
INEOS New Planet of Vero Beach, is a joint venture of California's New Planet Energy and the global chemical giant INEOS, headquartered in the United Kingdom.
Grimaldi, a principal with the Vero Beach engineering consultant CDM-Smith, and INEOS environmental engineer Bill Smith went over plans Wednesday for the new storage area for incoming waste, on the west side of the plant. They met with the county Technical Review Committee, a panel of staff planners and engineers who make sure developers' proposals meet county codes.
INEOS will fence off the Ocean Spray gate on 74th Avenue, Grimaldi said, and receive haulers and residents from Oslo Road on the property's west side.
She said INEOS will have to fill 2 acres of wetlands for the storage area, but would mitigate that habitat loss by buying into restoration of the wetlands in the Mary A Ranch near Palm Bay in Brevard County.
The county Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to consider the new area July 12. Grimaldi said previous approvals of the plant didn't include the western and southern parts.
Smith said most of the ethanol plant — where Ocean Spray Cranberries had processed grapefruit juice for 35 years — is mechanically complete. Company officials are now "commissioning" it, he said, by testing out the operation of the various parts of the system.
INEOS officials hope to avoid the impact of higher food prices from corn-based systems by using plant waste.
Not garbage, though, Grimaldi said.
"Just yard and lawn waste," she said. "If someone brings garbage, they'll be sent next door to the landfill."

American InterContinental UniversityTM Launches IntellipathTM Adaptive Learning Technology
American InterContinental University (AIU) has introduced a new adaptive learning platform that has improved classroom success by developing a personalized learning map that enables individual students to skip over what they already know and focus their time on what they need to learn.
"Today's online students are looking for degree programs that fit into their already-busy lifestyle," said Dr. Greg Washington, provost and vice president of campus operations at AIU. "Intelli path offers students a better learning experience by meeting them where they are with a custom learning plan and allowing them to make the most of their learning time."
Intelli path assesses and identifies students' current understanding of a topic and then tailors the type and order of the lessons presented to meet each student's individual needs. The result is a custom learning map built around AIU's powerful, specialized curriculum, with course content students can read, listen to or watch anytime from web-enabled devices. This allows students to focus on subjects they still need to master and skip over material they already know, making better use of their time.
AIU piloted the program in fall 2012 and saw improvement in several key markers of student success in both Math and English courses. For example, average final course scores for AIU students participating in intelli path's adaptive learning pilot increased by 6.8% compared to students in non-adaptive courses. Withdrawal rates decreased 13.6% for students in the intelli path courses compared to those that did not integrate intelli path. Based on the results of the pilot, AIU has moved rapidly to integrate intelli path into additional courses such as Economics, Accounting and History.
With AIU's Intellipath program, students receive:- Personalization: Intelli path provides a customized learning map that includes lessons, course material and interactive learning activities tailored to students' knowledge level; intelli path also delivers course material in multiple formats so students can read, listen to or watch content
- Access anywhere, anytime: All AIU course content is accessible through one login and in one centralized location, making it easy for students to learn on their own time by accessing content anywhere, anytime from any web-enabled device
- Individualized support: Professors are industry specialists who work collaboratively with students and provide one-on-one support when needed
- Real-time progress: Students know their grades and where they are on each assignment in real-time throughout the course, allowing them to spend more time on areas where they need additional practice
- More-efficient learning: intelli path adjusts coursework based on students' current knowledge levels to help them focus on topics where they need additional work and creates a foundational knowledge base to help them to connect the dots between concepts in other courses

Keeping your man happy is important, sex is a fundamental part of any relationship. Without it your man may be tempted to stray and come on ladies, you know you want it too. Here are some tips to drive your man wild...
1. Surprise him
Do something out of the ordinary. Have a candle lit house awaiting him and then lead him into a bubble bath and drink wine. Take him out into the wild and have a personal camp out by the fire. Slip into the shower with him in the morning and wash his private parts for him. Do something to catch him off-guard and remind him of how hot you are and how much he wants you.
2. Serve dinner, on your body!
Make some dinner and then serve it off your body. Be like Samantha in Sex and the City and do the sushi thing, or serve soup out of your belly button. Of course, there are always body shots, but be creative. Kissing and licking your body will make him want to more, lots more!
3. Wake him up in the middle of the night.
What better what to give your man good dreams than by waking him up in the middle of the night and making his dreams a reality. That's right, sneak under the covers and blow him. He's sure to wake up happy with you on his package. once he's awake, move on and get in riding position. Show him how to have a really good night and get wild!
4. Send him photos of your body parts.
Want to make him want you all day long? Take nude photos of different parts of your body; your eyes, lips, belly button, butt and of course, boobs and buns! Send him one photo every hour to get him aroused. Start with the least sexual parts then increasingly more sexual towards the end of the day. That way he'll be so aroused when he gets home that he'll want to see the parts in person for himself. For an added twist, send him a message that says there's one more photo. Tape the last photo to your body over the actual part and make him find it for himself.
Have sex with your clothes on. There's something incredibly sexy about doing it fully clothed. Wear a dress or skirt for easy access and get it on in public even. It's fun to be naughty. Add some spice to your daily routine by keeping the clothes on the entire time
6. Clean the house (as a French Maid)
Get dressed up to do the chores. It's Sunday morning (before the game), you've got some vacuuming and dishes to do. Why not make him want to help you by dressing up like a sexy French maid? He'll help you wash those dishes then help you out of those clothes, talk about starting the day off right!
7. Play a sexy grown-up game.
Sure Scrabble and Uno are fun, but that's something the whole family can play. When it comes to grown-up time, you can still play games, but different games. Deal a couple hands of strip poker and make him work for those layers of clothing to come off. you can have some fun playing games and bonding then get into bed and continue a whole new game.
8. Tease him all night long.
Tease him. Only teasing. Show some skin, take off some clothing, blow kisses in his ear, lick his neck, drive him wild! Teasing turns men on and makes them want more. The more you tease the more he'll want you. Then give him the go ahead when you're ready to end his torture and let him (and you) have some fun.
9. Enforce the "no touch" rule.
Choose one night a week where a "no touch" rule is enforced. On this day he isn't allowed to touch you but you're allowed to touch him whenever of wherever you want. Stroke him, tease him, strip him do as you please. Make him want you so badly he feels like jumping out of his skin. Then make love to him, but remember, only you get to touch. Take control and allow him to sit back and enjoy the ride.
10. Send a book with him to work.
Slip a sex positions book into his briefcase before he heads out to work. When he gets there, he'll see the book and be so intrigued he'll be sure to glance through it. Call him and tell him to do some studying and choose some lessons for the night. When he gets home, show him how to do these positions and have yourselves a good old time!

Learn to Play Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar composed by Mark Nelson and Keola Beamer. For Guitar (Slack Key). Perfect binding, Methods. Hawaiian. Beginning-Intermediate. Book/CD Set. 160 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.96695BCD).
ISBN 9780786641093. Hawaiian. 9 x 11.75 inches.
Hawaiian slack key guitar (Ki Ho'alu) is one of the world's great acoustic guitar traditions. This tradition includes virtuoso guitar pieces, but the majority of songs played slack key are classic Hawaiian melodies either played as instrumentals or as accompaniment to vocals with instrumental breaks between the verses. The term "slack key" does not refer to a type of guitar, but rather to any guitar played in the slack key style, that is, in alternate tunings with "slacked" strings and fingerstyle technique. Acknowledged slack key master Keola Beamer is a member of a family known for its musical artistry for generations. We are fortunate to have him writing in conjunction with veteran Mel Bay author, educator and multi-instrumentalist Mark Nelson, who simply followed his love of the music to the Islands. Written in standard notation and tablature to accommodate numerous alternate tunings, this book is presented in four sections: 1) The most common tuning introduced by fairly easy songs; 2) Illustrations of how to build your own arrangements; 3) A presentation of various slack key tunings; and 4) A selection of duets in the slack key style. Historical and cultural insights are offered throughout in the spirit of aloha, producing an informative, musically enlightening book with soul and humor. The companion CD features tuning tracks and informal introductions of the audio content by the authors, plus some beautiful slack key music.

Staff Spotlight- Albert Walavich from Teaching Safari
I have said this many times- Chicago School Supply is a family. We are a family of resources that make teaching less-stressful. We are a family of work associates that work together to achieve mutual goals. I hope you will get to know us as individuals and see the outstanding work our dedicated staff does to provide the best resources and educational opportunities possible for students everywhere.
Meet Chicago native and Teaching Safari Lead Tour Guide: Albert Walavich!
Born in Chicago , Al grew up in a city where you could still smell the Stockyards when the wind was right and where the " Second City " mentality ruled. Al only began to fully understand the wonders in this spectacular city as he came into adulthood, and he has continued to explore and treasure the city of his birth.
Realizing what he had failed to appreciate in his earlier days, Al has set out to educate everyone he encounters on the wonders that Chicago holds for those who only take the time to look around. Young and old can gain a new perspective on the city as Al shows them the world that is Chicago.
A regular tour guide for the Chicago History Museum and the Neighborhood Tours Program of the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs as well as being a docent for Chicago From the Lake, one of the finest companies offering architectural and historical tours on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, Al has the opportunity to share his passion for Chicago with thousands of people each year.
Getting the young people of Chicago in touch with the wonderful city in which they live has become one of his crusades, and he would relish the chance to expose your youth population to their city. We can take it serious, and we can take it fun, but we can take Chicago by storm.
If Al was forced to create a motto for his involvement with Chicago , he would simply say, "Come with me to experience one on the most fantastic cities on the planet. Chicago is a place you have to encounter and you will come to love."

This document clarifies the semantics associated with the Content-Range HTTP header and associated Partial Content (206) response code. It specifically allows a server to produce a Content-Range response whose range is a subrange of the corresponding range requested using a previous Range request. The HTTP protocol syntax is not modified. Instead, this document clarifies that a server responding to a client requesting a range (x-y) may respond with a range ((x+e)-(y-f)) for nonzero integers e,f such that (x+e) < (y-f). In addition, it clarifies the semantics of Request ranges which contain only a starting value.

TRI-TRI-TRIOBELISK is a fast paced strategy game that is designed for being played by two people on the same iPad (computer opponents are also included).

â–˛ â–˛ â–˛ PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE â–˛ â–˛ â–˛
Triobelisk, the warrior monk and bard of the cosmos, shifts his viewport from his pyramidal craft cloaked in a nebulous cloud of the Osirion system. With anticipation he observes the culmination of the 33rd Theatre and final battles of the Trigon space war. An event at the edges of the universe between forces unleashed by a temporal shift in the fabric of space and time. Negative agents of an alternate time-line known as the Outribes of Lult emerge onboard five identical astral triangular crafts as pilots of the Zoneplex Defendant Paradigmatics. This final act of warfare, encompassing battles on a pan-plex level, holds the outcome of future timelines on the cusp of explosive singularity. One side will be victorious and one side will be sequestered to the outer reaches of the universe, to begin again and attempt to shift the tides of intra-dimensional struggle.

What do you think of the
Icebreaker RealFleece 260 Sierra 1/2-Zip Pullover - Men's
? Share a...
jon michaels
Great value
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love this thing.
Sharp looking, well made, great fit, warm.
I'm 5'9", reasonably toned 172 and the medium fits well.
Just ordered another!
The only reason for 1 star deduction is my dog put a couple holes in the sleeve from jumping on me, and it seemed to happen a bit too easily (not to mention my disappointment!). So I've got some minor concern regarding ruggedness of the material.
Another win for icebreaker!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Picked this up on SAC and am thrilled with it-- very warm and soft. I have a wonderful early opinion of this fleece. The fabric could be described as being similar to a thin sweatshirt made of wool. The fit is true to other icebreaker items. I am 6" 180lbs with broad shoulders and the large is perfect.
Steven Jones
- Gender: Male
This merino piece is very nice. I love the realfleece. Its added loft makes it quite warm for its weight and the merino means you won't stink, even after multiple uses. The Sierra has a nice little pocket on the left arm with a hole for headphones, very cool.
George E.
Very nice!
Love it. I wear this all the time. Very nice, clean and looks good. Only draw back is the sizing. I am 6'2" and have pretty decent sized shoulders and a XXL is fairly tight throughout the back, chest and arms. Fits me perfectly but if you are on the large side you may want to look else where. If you think it will fit I would highly recommend it.
Do I understand correctly that the Real...
Do I understand correctly that the Real Fleece is a natural material, rather than synthetics as usual Fleece?
Hey Pavel, yes they use a natural material. Icebreaker uses 100% Merino Wool, which comes from New Zealand Sheep.
Merino Wool is great stuff, since I got my first Merino wool shirt, I was sold and have been slowly ridding my closet of cotton and synthetics.
Nicole Lisk
And another tid bit- when you shear a sheep what comes off is actually called "fleece". Which is why Icebreaker named this stuff RealFleece.
Steven Jones
It's about time someone took "fleece" back for natural products.

We utalize Binders in all areas of our business. We offer a lot of products and services, so each one has its own notebook to simplify everything. These get used and abused, so we need a tough product that can stand up above all. Plus you get boxtops for education.

Your home will burn to the ground,
And memories of you with it.

most importantly your life!

The anguish in your dead eyes, plain as can be!
The graves are hundreds wide and deep!

Faculty: Giancarlo Panagia
Program Goals
- To develop critical, analytical, and integrative thinking skills

- To be able to evaluate and conduct research within the Justice Studies field
- To develop global consciousness, social responsibility, and ethical awareness
- To gain a broad understanding of discipline's concepts and perspectives
Program Objectives
The Westminster Justice Studies program treats justice as a broad category of social and political problems that includes issues relating to crime and justice, economic and social justice, human rights, and international justice. Accordingly, students who choose a major in Justice Studies are encouraged to take interdisciplinary coursework that exposes them to different ways of thinking about justice. This includes, but is not limited to, coursework in fields such as Anthropology, Economics, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology that helps students understand the nature of justice and why individuals and institutions may or may not behave in a just manner. Justice Studies majors are also required to engage in independent research and experiential learning activities such as internships. The Justice Studies minor affords students an opportunity to view justice through broad, interdisciplinary lenses.
Program Requirements
The Justice Studies program offers a Bachelor of Science in Justice Studies as an academic major and provides for an academic minor in Justice Studies. The Justice Studies academic major requires completion of 60 semester hours of credit selected from Justice Studies' coursework and related classes in the social sciences and selected other coursework. Thirty-two of those hours must be in Justice Studies and related courses numbered 300 or above. Students must maintain a cumulative 2.5 GPA or better in the academic major and minor.
For course prerequisites, please refer to the course description.

I have Celiac Disease, Lactose intolerance, Irritable-Bowl-syndrome (IBS) and Acid Reflux. Been trying for the last 3 years to gain weight, thinking I am eating 3000 calories a day, yet people say I am probably not eating as much as I think I am. and I have been working out for 1 and 1/2 years seriously. I'm 6'2" 130 lbs, doctors say I'm healthy yet I am waaaaay too skinny for my height and i am 22 years old. I had posted in Anabolic's about DMZ rx, but I received enough warnings from people... that I do not want to go that route anymore.
I've gained some muscle, but gained no weight, I really want to bulk up and not look like a Long-distance Runner. I would rather be the Endo-mesomorph than the ectomorph look. Any tips would be appreciated, as I have these food allergies it makes it hard to eat anything, I can't have: any preservatives at all, processed sugars, greasy-really saturated fats, acidic foods(Orange juice, tomatos etc), milk-products, no vegetables that cause excessive gas or beans, onions and garlic are killers....absolutely no chocolate, no wheat and/or Gluten of any kind and there are other things I cannot eat but I concentrate on the things I can eat rather, like I know for sure I can eat:
Bananas, Apples, honeydew, mangos, Rice, Potatoes, chicken, beef, Choy, Broccoli, Spinach, carrots, peas, Asparagus, Sunbutter and some select-Nuts.
Soy products bother my stomach greatly also, so no Tofu. I HAVE taken MASS GAINER shakes before, there is one particular high-carb one that I take which has minimal effect on my stomach problems. I cannot eat 4 hours before bed, nor 2-3 hours before a workout or I will puke.
Any and all help would be awesome, I will also do some of my own looking around here for diet tips, but since my food-choice is so limited it is really hard and frustrating sometimes
Thank you all for your time, I really do appreciate it. I'd like to 20 pounds more at some point and I've been trying hard to get there.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
NFL Fever 2002 features several gameplay modes, including practice, single game, and season, which itself contains a couple of different options, including dynasty and fantasy challenge. Fever 2002 has a full NFL license and includes all 31 current NFL teams--and 15 fantasy teams--along with all the current stadiums. Dynasty mode is where most players will find themselves, as this mode lets you manage all aspects of your team, including signing and cutting players, negotiating trades, and making sure that your team comes in under the salary cap.
A great feature in dynasty mode is Dynamic Player Performance, which adjusts players' ratings (which determine how well they play) based on past game performances. So if you have a second-string running back who rattles off three or four great games in a row, his rating will increase, which should keep him performing at that high level. On the flip side, if a player has several poor games, his rating will decrease.
Because it was designed specifically for the Xbox (unlike Madden NFL 2002, which was ported to the Xbox from the PlayStation2 version), NFL Fever 2002 looks awesome. Player animations are highly detailed, the stadiums look fantastic, and the weather effects are topnotch. Beyond the obvious features, though, there are many subtle details that really add to the experience: the field will get torn up in wet weather, player uniforms will get stained with dirt, and the crowd will begin to thin out if the game is a blowout.
In terms of gameplay, Fever 2002 delivers a solid experience. The AI is pretty solid, especially on the defensive side, and if you call a perfect game it's possible to get a shutout against the computer, even on the higher difficulty settings. On the downside, the computer rarely runs the ball, even when it has a high-powered running back like Corey Dillon, and AI play calling is rather suspect at times.
Those complaints aside, Fever 2002 is a lot of fun. It offers great graphics, multiplayer is a blast, and the dynasty mode features a good deal of depth. If you only want one football game, NFL Fever 2002 deserves your consideration.--William Harms

Very Cheap! R Kivett from Knoxville, TN– Verified Buyer This is, by far, the worst quality chest of drawers I've ever seen. Comes completely disassembled, wood is thin press board, backing is two pieces of cardboard taped together (so it will fold into the box), the handles are square metal - sharp enough to cut anyone passing by. I returned this with a quickness, and DO NOT recommend anyone purchase it! |
Works Kenneth from Manasquan, NJ– Verified Buyer It is not a quality piece of furniture but is OK for a dresser that looks OK. |

Of course some QBs performed just as bad & will be getting more.... Ryan, Romo, Eli, Flacco..... Ben, but that's another story.
when are figuring the "what will it cost us" you have to take into account the dollars you may spend to bring someone else in. Replacement cost cant be overlooked if you are wanting to bring in a vet to either stop gap or help mentor

SBI investigators have decided to dig for two sets of human remains. While there are many theories as to what happened to Lela Bryan and her four year old daughter on May 10, 1941, surviving family members believe they were murdered and buried under their home on Raleigh Avenue.
Last week, a radar ground scan of the home revealed three promising hits of possible buried human remains. Lewis Smith is one of the Bryan's last living relatives. He said the SBI told him the ground scan revealed enough information to go forward.
According to Smith, investigators will dig a hole in the cement under the house, and attempt to search for any human remains.
"I was born the year after then and I personally didn't have contact with her, but my mother was her younger sister and I would have liked to solve it before my mother died," said Lewis.
Smith said the dig will happen sometime in December. The SBI will only say the investigation is ongoing.
The owner of the home would not go on camera today, but said he's 100 percent on board with digging into his property to solve this cold case mystery.

A year ago, Travis Wear finished as one of the Pac-12′s leading rebounders — at least on one end of the court. The UCLA forward ranked second with 2.87 offensive boards per game, behind only Colorado's Andre Roberson.
This season, that number has dipped to a paltry 1.52 per game. He isn't sure why.
"I don't know. I feel like I'm making an effort to go to the boards," Wear said. "I just need to make even more of an effort now. I think I was getting three a game at this point last year. I'm not getting that right now, but I'm capable of it."
The 6-foot-10 junior is averaging 16.7 points over his past seven games, and agreed that — armed with renewed confidence in his jump shot — he is using his face-up game even more than he did last year. He added that it shouldn't affect his tenacity Continue reading

JAX-RS (JSR 311), the Java API for RESTful web services, has had a profound effect on the architecture and design of web services. It was inspired by Roy Thomas Fielding's dissertation on the "Design of Network-based Software Architectures', in which he introduced the REST (Representational State Transfer) concept. This introductory article to JAX-RS reviews two popular JAX-RS frameworks, Jersey and Apache CXF, and provides some basic examples that illustrate how to build, deploy, and execute RESTful web services. Before diving into the formal definition of REST, let's walk through the basic concepts required to understand REST. You also should review Java annotations (part of JDK 1.4) and the Maven configuration and build tool, if you are not familiar with them already. The acronym REST (Representational State Transfer) refers to an architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems. (The term hypermedia refers to a combination of text, hyperlinks, graphics, audio, and video that creates an interactive medium of information. A network-distributed hypermedia system is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet, such as the World Wide Web.) REST proposes a set of architectural principles, including client-stateless-server communication, uniform interface, separation of concerns and layered systems (click here for definitions of these principles). When applied as a whole to web services, the resulting systems generally achieve high performance, scalability, low/simplified component interactions, enforced security, and encapsulation of legacy systems. A resource class is a Java class annotated with JAX-RS annotations to represent a web resource. A root resource class is a POJO (plain old Java object) that is annotated with @Path, has at least one method annotated with @Path, or a request method designator such as @GET, @PUT, @POST, or @DELETE to handle requests on the corresponding resource. Resource methods are request methods of a resource class. Annotated with @Path, they handle resource-specific operations: creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources. When a request method designator is used on resource methods, it is referred to as a sub-resource method. Methods not annotated with resource method designators are referred to as sub-resource locators. We will look at examples later in the article. JAX-RS is divided into three packages:
Here's what you need to know when implementing JAX-RS:
Let's look at two popular REST frameworks that provide standard ways for building RESTful services in Java:
Type in the URI JAX-RS annotations are runtime annotations. Let's look at some of the important ones that you implemented in the previous example. For a complete list of annotations defined in JAX-RS, refer to the Java API for JAX-RS documentation. Currently, there are two ways to build RESTful services with CXF: Download the source for the latest distribution of Apache CXF, which includes JAX-RS examples in the Follow the process outlined for Jersey in the previous section to build a Maven template in Eclipse (choose the Group Id and Artifact Id as listed in the POM of the sample distribution). After you have created the project, make sure the package structure reflects the one shown in the sample. Next, copy/extract the files from the distribution into the Eclipse workspace, including the POM (replacing the existing POM in the Eclipse/Maven project). The sample at On the server side: On the client side: REST is an architectural style that provides a simple and uniform way of calling server-side resources using HTTP web services. Developing web services has never been easy, but REST assists the developer with an inherent loose coupling of client and server without the complications of WSDL or XML. In this article, we have covered the basic definition of REST and demonstrated two frameworks that support REST concepts. Jersey User Guide

"A great idea, a modest price, but ..."
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've been looking for this program for quite a while. There are some invoicing programs out there, but nothing that also helps you track who paid. And allows you to easily send out dunning notices.
So I'm willing to overlook a lot of flaws to use this, but alas I will keep on looking.
For starters, I'm spoiled by Cocoa programs, and this is written in Real Basic. No real menus, everything is in a Toolbar in the one main window. Not a show stopper for me, but not good either.
The second problem for this American is that the authors are in the Netherlands, and the wording, forced use of taxes, and other minor points don't translate well to how I want my invoices to look. And getting invoices to look "right" is very important.
Third I really want plain text invoices, in the body of the email. Maybe a pretty PDF with graphics as an option. The reason is that spam filters and users that don't have or know how to get Acrobat cause problems.
In my case, I don't need to wow my clients with a pretty invoice, I just need to get it delivered so they can read it. I already have too many people giving me the excuse that they never received my invoice.
While this program has a broad range of variables that you can drop in the invoice, I need to drop my client id into the invoice. And I couldn't figure out how to get that in there.
In summary, they hit the nail on the head with their idea, but their execution has room for improvement for my purposes.

We backup via RMAN to tape daily and archive logs throughout the day. We generate a report each day which gives info on time to backup, backupsets size, etc for DB backup, archive log backup and alert on db's not backed up in 24 hours, etc, etc. We are moving critical systems to be backed up to disk and those backupsets retained on disk as space allows. We purge based on space/time, etc. I want to include in the RMAN report information relating to the backup backupset command. Essentialy, the operation makes another copy, so we have a backupset reflected as copy 1 on disk ands copy 2 on tape. How can I get this sort of info out of the rman rc tables/views....anyone know?
