Housing Authority Evicts Families
POSTED: Friday, December 4, 2009 - 10:33pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 2:25pm
30 to 40 families are asking for help after being told by the Housing Authority that they are being evicted.
A group of parents and children protested outside the Housing Authority in Northeast El Paso, Friday night.
They say they have been told they had 15 days to vacate their homes because they have made late payments on their rent.
The families tell us they have always been given a 10 day grace period to make their rent payment but now they're being told that because they didn't pay by the first, they are out of luck.
A Housing Authority spokesman says, while they have always given tenants until the 10th to pay their rent, that is still considered paying late.
3 late payments and you can be evicted.
The Housing Authority spokesman also says they have a 2 year waiting list of 13,000 people looking for housing.

One of the Calder Valley's most popular folk attractions is the annual Pace Egg Play. Its origins are now lost in the mists of time, but it continues delight generation after generation with a delightfully haphazard mix of performance, audience interaction and comedy. Revived in 1979 after a brief hiatus, the roots of Pace Egging hark back to before the 1500s, and are quite different across the north of England. In many towns the tradition has died out, but it's still performed in the upper valley at Hepstonstall, Midgely and Mytholmroyd…
Clog-wearing players perform well-trodden routines and well-loved lines to an appreciative (and increasingly merry) audience in Weaver's Square, Heptonstall, on the hill above Hebden Bridge in Calderdale. The central theme is a bit hazy, but involves St George and a host of others; a degree of pantomime theatre; some swordplay; and a healthy amount of ale-swigging.
It's always a bonus when the sun's out on Good Friday, and the audience numbers were swollen for this, the final performance of the day. As the players tend to retire to one or other of Heptonstall's hostelries between stagings for some well-earned liquid refreshment, this was a glorious mix of ad-libbed responses, fluid moves and the occasional flubbed line, all being embraced and egged on by the audience. "Mince pies hot, mince pies cold; mince pies in the jar, nine days old…"
There's much more information on the Pace Egg play here
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

The star looks so cute on the August cover of 'Seventeen' and inside the mag she spilled on the behind-the-scenes drama on set. We couldn't believe what she had to say!
Ariana Grande looks adorable in a slew of fun and flirty outfits on the August 2013 cover issue for Seventeen magazine. Inside, the 20-year-old really opens up about what life was like for her on the Victorious set.
Ariana Grande 'Unhappy' On 'Victorious':
We were so sad to hear that Ariana didn't enjoy her time on the show Victorious: "I worked with someone who told me they'd never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy." It sounds like there was quite the drama on set!
Ariana's Relationship With Co-Star Jennette McCurdy:
"I am so lucky to be working with Jennette McCurdy. She is a real, genuine, honest person, a good friend, and doesn't care about all the superficial BS. She's the most hilarious actress I've ever met and I just adore her…I used to watch iCarly and think, 'Wow, Jennette is such a standout star and so good.' Now she's one of my best friends."
Ariana's 'Seventeen' Interview:
"I would never feel comfortable playing Cat with any other color hair than red, but I also feel most comfortable being myself with brown hair… I'm really nothing like my character—we're both girly, but that's about it. I'm very quiet; I don't like to go out and party. So I get to be myself when I have brown hair and then I get to be Cat when I have red hair! It's like a Hannah Montana life."
Ariana On Her Album:
We are all wondering the same thing – why has Ariana been working on her album for 3 years?! Well she told Seventeen mag why: "I'm a big perfectionist! I'm trying to channel super-confident women like Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, because I realized that if you want something, you really have to go for it, just like they do."
Ariana On Her Boyfriend:
Ariana is in a long-distance relationship with Jai Brooks which can be very straining and hard – especially at such a young age – but Ariana explained how they make it work: "Love is a really scary thing and you never know what's going to happen. It's one of the most beautiful things in life, but it's one of the most terrifying. It's worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories."

Birmingham-- The scientific world is abuzz about the possibility of liquid reserves on a moon of Saturn. Research published in the journal Science documents Yellowstone-like geysers spewing from the moon. Birmingham-Southern College physics professor Duane Pontius was part of the research team that made the discovery. He talked with WBHM's Tanya Ott.

Anyway everyone seems positive.We have it good : ) |

Hank Aaron hits #715. Babe Ruth had a record that would "never be broken". Despite having to wait an entire off season filled with death threats Hank, maybe the most under appreciated star, comes through and still is the roid free HR King. 72 Canada Russia 8 game Summit Series. First time NHL (USA had hardly any players in the NHL then) plays players from Russia. All North Americans think the squad full of HOFers will win easily. Russia dominates the first games in Canada to everyone's utter amazement and disgust. Canada rallies with some one goal wins and the final game 8 has the series at 3 -3 -1 with Russia winning the tiebreaker on goal differential. The game was filled with horrific refereeing (see 1972 Olympic basketball game), Alan Eagleson is ready to walk out of the arena because things are so unfair. Canada is down by two goals going into the third period with Russia needing only a tie. Canada dramatically scores two goals to tie it up and then with a little over a minute left Paul Henderson score the greatest goal in Canadian history. 1980 Borg McEnroe Wimbledon. Was like a Rocky fight back when the sport of tennis was huge in the US. Probably more epic was in 2008 Nadal beating Federer in 5 sets, with some rain delays, 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7 |
1 week 5 days ago | I was there and am amazed how many others say |

text: Hey guys, can I have your opinion? I bought a CW40 last week from a friend and I love it! Now I want another version. (I know, Im crazy). I would like to have a small 9mm. These 2 are the same size just the MK9 is all steel. I guess the PM9 is more practical being only 14oz, but Im just smitten over the steel MK9. Do any of you guys have a strong opinion one way or another? Thanks for your time. Kevin.

With a dash of sweetness from the shallots, a touch of vegetal flavor from the Brussels, and some porkiness from the pancetta, this side dish couldn't be better balanced. It holds its own on the Thanksgiving table but wouldn't be out of place on any fall or winter dinner table.
This recipe was featured as part of our Thanksgiving for Six menu.
- 1Line a plate with paper towels and set aside. Place the pancetta in a large frying pan with a tightfitting lid and cook uncovered over medium heat until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
- 2Add shallots and garlic to the pan, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and edges begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
- 3Add Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, stir to coat, and cook until just browned, about 3 minutes.
- 4Pour in wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook until wine reduces by half, about 2 to 4 minutes.
- 5Pour in broth, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until Brussels sprouts are knife tender, about 20 minutes. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with reserved pancetta.

Story: The GQ Guide To A.P.C. Kanye
On July 17, A.P.C. Kanye Fall-Winter 2014 landed in stores and, as expected, sold out with relative ease (as is the case with any garment endorsed by West). But the one item not for sale a couple weeks back was this wool beanie, which features the same vintage-inspired "AK" army patch that graced a sweater in the initial drop. So, if you weren't able to get your hands on anything the first time around (or just weren't sure you could pull off a ski mask), now's your chance to repent to Yeezus for your menswear sins. Just do us a favor and keep it in the closet until winter. Not even a fashion god like Kanye West could possibly endorse the summer beanie.

"Where will you go, Peter?" As I stared across the space separating me from my older immortal brother, I couldn't help but feel as though the world was crumbling, piece by piece. I still bled from the inside after what had happened two weeks ago, but found the nerve to carry on despite my grief. It was what he would've wanted, I told myself, even if I didn't want it.
Looking in Peter McCaffrey's eyes, I could tell he didn't want to, either.
He drew a shaky breath, hardly resembling the vampire of one hundred and seventy years I knew him to be. His gaze looked haunted and his expression fraught with pain, something I wondered if I mirrored. His irises brown and his hair the same color chestnut, Peter always struck me as being what the humans would call 'a catch,' although all of that was now clouded in a shroud of despair. A part of me wished I could hold him, while I knew I had no comfort left to offer anyone.
My maker, Matthew Pritchard, was dead.
Peter swallowed hard and shook his head. "I don't know. As far away from this goddamned place as possible. Maybe Canada. Maybe Europe. Heaven knows." His voice caught momentarily. He shut his eyes in an effort to regain his composure. "I can't find a fucking part of this city that doesn't remind me of her."
"I know." I felt his words pierce through my soul, a sharp edge plunging into the marrow. So many words danced on the tip of my tongue, burning skin with acid as though holding it in any longer had become a cancer and I, a terminal patient. I struggled for a response, but muscle memory stopped me from blurting out a eulogy for the only person I'd ever allowed into my heart.
"Just say it, Allen. You can't find a part of this city that doesn't remind you of him, too."
I don't speak to others about Matthew for a variety of reasons. Humans might be tempted to assign some form of guilt or shame to my actions, especially if they learned the truth of things between us. I've often found mortals miss the subtle complexities about the vampire world, though. Before our world was torn asunder, it was important Matthew didn't show favoritism from one child to the other. I wasn't his first, certainly not his last, and experience had taught us to keep our private life behind closed doors.
Matthew encountered me in November of 1835, when the wind blew him to New York City with Eunice and Peter, his two immortal children at the time. Eunice, he had turned at a mere thirty-one immortal years, from loneliness and out of pity toward her station in life. She had become a prostitute at the age of sixteen and lived on the streets of Baltimore until Matthew came upon her. Peter, he found three years later in Pittsburgh, after Eunice had become smitten with him. As she was too young to turn Peter, Matthew did it himself. This was in the year 1811, the very year I was born.
Matthew Pritchard himself had been a British soldier during the Revolutionary War, of Welsh ancestry and twenty-two years old when his maker Jonathan dragged him from a British encampment on the edge of Trenton. Had he not been kidnapped, he might have died at the hands of George Washington's army as the famous 'crossing of the Delaware' took place a few nights later. Being kidnapped, though, only extended his life a few months longer. 1776 became 1777 before Matthew finally let Jonathan turn him, although it didn't stop Jonathan from feeding on him in the interim. And it didn't stop Jonathan from enslaving Matthew even after he accepted the immortal gift.
I learned more about my maker than he allowed others to know. He shared countless stories about his earliest years while resting in my arms. "Our food supply became barren after the Revolutionary War," he once had said, his head positioned on my shoulder and one of his hands pressed against my chest. "The battles we scavenged from disappeared and the cities filled with the problems of a fledgling country being formed. We had to be overly careful, not because of law enforcement or wary mortals, but because the mortals themselves were at unrest. Fights and minor riots broke out over simple political debates. We witnessed one mob lynch a British loyalist who declared we'd return to King George someday."
The mental image caused me to huff a chuckle. "My grandfather was a Patriot, you know."
"I know." I could hear Matthew grin. "You remind me of that every time I'm tempted to drag out my tattered old uniform." He lifted up to look me in the eyes, shifting so our lips hovered inches apart. "I still love you anyway."
I remember the kiss and little else because we quickly became swept up in the moment. So many of our discussions ended similarly, with me becoming more determined each year to stay by Matthew's side. I served not just a master, but a lover, over the course of one hundred fifty-three years. Matthew, on the other hand, could not boast of such a warm relationship with the vampire who turned him.
He became rapidly disenchanted with Jonathan's presence, but for good reason. Jonathan raped him on a regular basis. The first time, he said, Jonathan had lured him into their sleeping quarters with a mortal woman promising not only would Matthew feed, but he would indulge the carnal pleasures he'd been denied since leaving Britain. They indulged the mortal woman, but Jonathan pinned Matthew down afterward, holding him in place while he violated my maker.
Jonathan over three hundred years Matthew's senior, he was far stronger than his immortal child and had dabbled enough in dark magic to form binding spells. When Matthew resisted, not only did Jonathan secure him in place, he would be rougher with him, beating him before finally penetrating him. Had Matthew not been a vampire, the constant lashings might have killed him. As it was, being a vampire locked him in a purgatory he could not escape.
Not to say vampirism held no enchantment for him. Matthew said from his very first night as an immortal, he relished the world he saw through changed eyes. And not every evening featured Jonathan's sadistic brand of torture. Jonathan allowed him to keep a trunk of personal possessions and hunt on his own once he could be trusted not to flee. Matthew acquired a violin and learned how to play while Jonathan would lounge in a chair and listen. "Those were the few times my maker was a pleasant man to be around. If he did take me that evening, he was kinder about it. Sometimes, he stroked my hair while I played, and other times he mercifully left me alone. So, I became a very apt pupil."
When Matthew became proficient enough, Jonathan would force him to play for money. They formed a racket they took to several cities in the newly-formed United States, acquiring a small pocketful of gold along the way. Close to the turn of the century, however, an excursion to Boston landed them deep in the middle of trouble. As Matthew hunted, Jonathan became intoxicated and trapped inside a pub as a riot broke out. Matthew said he watched from the outside while two men lit the tavern on fire. "I stood several feet away, staring at the flames, and let them consume Jonathan without motioning to save him. Strangely enough, I didn't feel guilty."
I hardly thought the idea was strange. I would have felt the same way in his shoes, watching timber catch and smoke rising from the conflagration. After twenty years under Jonathan's thumb, I imagine my maker was relieved beyond belief.
I wouldn't have blamed him if he lit the fire himself.
He said he returned to their quarters and gathered everything of value he could into his trunk. He pocketed their gold and called for a porter the next evening, starting the slow journey to Baltimore. Eunice and Peter followed thereafter. They went underground during the War of 1812 and waited out the storm in the safety of a small town overlooked by the British as they marched their way to Washington, D.C. The closest they came to being trapped in the thick of things came during a trip to Baltimore when food in their small town became scarce. From there, they lived in quiet until Matthew planned a whimsical retreat to New York City in 1835.
By this point, my father, the first of our family to be born in America, had worked his way from a clerk to an entrepreneur. The former capital of the United States had become a bustling financial center, and several fortunate investments made after the opening of the Erie Canal thrust our family into the socialite way of life. I was a mere teenager around the time, forced to polish up and play nice with the debutantes and other aristocrats. When I turned eighteen, I rebelled by becoming the family black sheep.
I drank myself to overindulgence. I attended college, but scored poor marks and shrugged each time my father threatened to stop funding my education. He forced me to work for his company after I barely earned my degree and I found myself trapped in the mundane business world. My mother introduced me to several young ladies in some attempt to lure me into a marriage proposal. I finally agreed to become engaged a few weeks prior to meeting Matthew.
I did not love the girl, but there were so many things which had me disenchanted, I figured marriage would only be another one to add to the pile. We planned the wedding for the spring and I busied myself with work, using the excuse of securing our future as a cover for the fact that I didn't want to participate in the decision-making process. Sometimes I slept in my office and other times, I wouldn't return home until the latest hours of the evening. This is the habit which caused me and Matthew to finally cross paths.
One night, I paused outside a church on my way home when I saw a figure slip into the shadows and heard a door creak open, one leading into the church itself. Believing this to be a vandal trying to steal from the church, I turned for where I saw the figure disappear and saw the door still open, enough of a temptation for me to slip inside and see what sort of person would not only rob from a church, but invite themselves to be caught. "Hello?" I said, glancing in and stepping past the threshold warily. I took a few additional steps, stopping close to the edge of the sanctuary.
My parents were not religious, it should be noted. I saw the inside of a church on rare occasions when social standing called for us to be in attendance. My father considered himself 'enlightened', which translated loosely into 'dyed-in-the-wool skeptic', and I'd never encountered anything to inspire belief in a higher power. As I stepped inside, though, I felt like I was committing some grievous sin in being there, staring at the religious icons and feeling them all stare back at me. "Hello?" I asked again when I failed to see anybody stuffing chalices or offering plates into a sack. "Is somebody here?"
"Do you consider yourself fortunate, sir?" a voice asked from the darkest portion of the sanctuary. The moon shone through a sparse collection of windows, but all the candles had been extinguished and an entire side of the church was cloaked in darkness.
I turned in the direction of the stranger and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by fortunate?" The man sounded to be around my age, so I figured I was dealing with a peer, at least. The fact that they could have been armed didn't occur to me as I stepped closer.
"Does fate favor you?" He shifted position slightly, but not enough to give the illusion of fleeing. Rather, the movement drew my attention toward where he stood, as though he wanted to be seen. I walked closer, seeing a shadow roughly my height tilt his head as though to study me. "Are you one of the lucky ones it shines down upon?"
"I don't know." I walked one pace closer before stopping. "Why would you ask me such a thing?"
"Because you entered this church, sir." I heard him chuckle. "Without knowing who or what I might be."
I laughed. "Who, you're right about. You could be a deranged killer for all I know, but I find it curious you added a 'what.' You're a man."
"A man, yes, but not any human man."
"What in God's name else could you be? You look human to me."
"Appearances are often deceiving." He crept from the shadows, granting me my first glimpse of his face. Young, but not too young, he had dark hair which fell atop his head in short locks with piercing brown eyes staring at me. His mouth crept open, but only slightly, and he bore a pale pallor which suggested him to be sickly. The way he walked lent credence to his words, though. Lithe and confident, not labored. Appearances certainly were deceiving.
Ashen skin and nimble movement aside, he still looked very human to me. "If you aren't a human, then what are you?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
He smirked. "Does the word vampire mean anything to you?"
"You think you're a vampire?" I barked out a laugh. "I'm an educated man, sir, so yes I've heard the word. They're shady myths from uneducated people attempting to explain how..."
In that moment, he smiled and two sharp fangs descended where his incisors should have been. I stopped speaking abruptly and gawked at them, mouth hung agape as they gleamed in the moonlight. "Dear God in heaven," I muttered when I found my voice again. "Those teeth..."
He sped close to me before I could finish, far faster than I'd seen any man move before. I stepped backward, but he clutched my arm and pulled me close to him before I could even think to turn. Our eyes locked, chests touching with his gaze turning menacing. "These teeth go in your neck," he said. "And your blood spills down my throat. I haven't eaten in a few nights, Allen."
"How do you know my name?" I trembled, but refused to look away. "If you're going to kill me, then at least tell me yours."
"Matthew." He grinned. "Your name is stitched on the inside of your coat."
Raising an eyebrow, I hazarded the risk and quickly regarded the thick wool coat which hung from my shoulders. One side had folded over, revealing the tailor's insignia and my name finely embroidered on the lining. Allen R. Hughes. My gaze shot back toward his. "How could you read that? There isn't a candle lit and the moonlight is sparse here."
Matthew laughed. "You have a vampire clutching onto you, fangs extended, and you're curious about my vision? I see in the dark. Vampires are nocturnal creatures."
"Maybe I'm petrified and that was the first thing my mind could latch onto?"
"True, but I've killed enough humans to know you should be pleading for your life by now."
I blinked, almost afraid to ask the question, but issuing it anyway. "You intend to kill me?"
He tilted his head. "I'm not sure, Allen. Do you want to live?"
I couldn't figure out how to respond, so I deflected. "That accent... Where does it come from?"
"Britain." Matthew's facial expression fell. "You inquire about my vision and my accent, but when I ask if you want to live, you avoid my question. Why is that?"
All of the myths surrounding vampires didn't prepare me for the look of sympathy which surfaced in his eyes. He almost seemed to be asking himself what sort of wretched existence this human had to be carving out for himself in order not to fight to live. I even had to ask myself the same question. "I don't know if I want to live, Matthew."
"But why?" He touched my face and I felt weak inside. Not small, but in need of something what, I didn't know. His words became quieter, almost a whisper, while I stared as though compelled by a force outside myself. "What has you questioning your worth, Allen?" he asked. "I would guess you lead a privileged life if you can afford such finely-tailored clothing."
"I live a hollow life, more like it," I droned, feeling my lips move as though they'd gained a mind of their own. "My father dragged me into another world with his wealth and I've been drowning ever since. I was happy before we were rich. Now, everybody is shallow. I'm engaged to a woman I don't love and work a job I despise."
Matthew blinked and I did, too. Mental clarity returned without me realizing it had departed in the first place. The hand Matthew placed on my arm fell, but the one caressing my face lingered. "Allen, would you escape this life if a way was provided to you?"
"How?" I frowned, wondering what was happening, feeling exposed and vulnerable all of a sudden. "Do you offer all the humans you feel sympathy toward an escape?"
"Not all." Matthew smiled softly. "For many the best escape is death. You, though..." I felt his thumb stroke my cheek, then stop, his hand falling quickly to his side. His eyes never wavered, though. "It doesn't seem like you want to die. You want to live, just not with your existence."
"What other option do I have?"
"You would make a good vampire." He raised an eyebrow. "I should know, I have turned two others and they have taken very well to being immortal. My children." Matthew smirked. "We're looking for a more permanent home, but if you know your way around money, perhaps you can help us with that."
"You want my money?" I blinked.
He laughed. "No, your mind. Your knowledge. Your talents. And
your blood." Matthew's lips parted in a broad grin. "But I will give you my blood in return and you can be like us. Ageless. Limitless. Free. You will know hunger, but you will know eternity as well. And you can fill it however you see fit."
I stared at him, attempting to understand the offer being extended to me. "I'd live
"For a very long time, Allen. Possibly forever. Vampires struggle for survival the same way humans do, we're simply not bound by their rules."
"How long have you lived?"
"Fifty eight years as a vampire. Twenty-two years before that."
"Ageless." I studied him again, seeing the twenty-two years, but not the fifty-eight. Not bound by society's rules, no longer a puppet to my station in life; I allowed myself to think of a world without parties and false smiles, marriages of stature and children to continue a family name and nodded. I had no soul to sell, no God to anger. So, I said, "Make me a vampire, Matthew."
He leaned closer. "You ask me for it?"
"Yes, I do."
"Do you want to say goodbye to daylight first? Vampires cannot be in the sun, it will kill us. If you need another sunrise, I will find you tomorrow. My maker never gave me that opportunity."
"Your maker?"
"The vampire who made me what I am."
I nodded, drawing a shaky breath inward. "No. I don't want to return to that world if there's a way out of it. Let them think I died. I never cared for the sun."
"As you wish." Matthew nodded once, a hand lifting to settle on my neck. Gingerly, he tilted my head to the side and drew our bodies together in an embrace, the action so intimate it should have unsettled me at the time. Instead, I felt a strange comfort in the arm wrapped around me, and clutched onto him in return as his face drifted closer to my throat. He kissed it once before whispering in my ear, "My son. Your blood in my veins and mine in yours. Make me just as proud as your siblings do."
I furrowed my brow, but before I could speak, Matthew's teeth plunged past skin, forcing a long, pained moan from my mouth. Distantly, I felt the hand on my neck shift to my shoulder and caress as though to calm me. The hand on my back fanned its fingers and brought me closer still. If he hadn't been draining my blood, his ministrations might have aroused me. Instead, I felt exhaustion wash over me before I could even think to wonder why I enjoyed being touched by him.
My head lulled when he pulled away, the world fading in and out with my pulse fluttering. Matthew gripped tightly onto me, but lifted the hand settled on my shoulder just as my eyes began to shut in sleep. I felt cool skin press against my lips and sampled a metallic taste on my tongue. The instinct to swallow became an impulse to drink and before I knew it, I was taking in mouthfuls of his blood.
The coppery taste melted into a bouquet sweeter than honey and more decadent than the richest food I'd ever eaten. I felt it cascade down my throat in a river of bliss until a sharp burst of pain ripped me from the experience and into the black void of death. Five days later, it was his voice which summoned me to wake and when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a cellar with two other vampires seated beside Matthew. Both of them were brown-haired, and the woman looked young enough to still be her father's ward.
They introduced themselves to me as Peter and Eunice. "Matthew said your name is Allen," Peter said with a grin. I remembered thinking he looked ethereal; as though my eyes could take in so many features I'd been blind toward before. He patted my shoulder. "Welcome to our nest."
"Thank you." I blinked, disoriented and unable to remember too much about who I was and where I'd come from. Within a few days, though, the fog had cleared and a few days after that, I could even remember the night I drank Matthew's blood. The recollection made me self-conscious at first. I looked at him, wondering if he had noticed what an effect he'd had on me. When he gave no indication one way or the other, I shrugged and let the matter rest. His apathy might have saddened me, but it gave me a chance to figure out more about the world around me at the same time.
The cellar belonged to a local tavern that'd been shut down and left vacant for at least a month or more. Nary a human stopped by, and just as well. I could barely control myself around a pulse those initial weeks. I drank blood and killed, and remained enthralled by the taste of that warm, viscous liquid which had made me what I became. After my first month, though, my hunger subsided and allowed me to disguise myself amongst the human population of New York.
I learned more about Peter and Eunice. They slept together every night and spooned and chuckled like two lovers. I smirked and asked them about it one night while Matthew played idly with his violin. "Does anything ever separate the two of you?"
Matthew laughed. "Not since the day I turned him." He looked up at Peter and nodded. "I remember when Eunice first met him, with the intention of feeding on him. She forced herself to keep him alive, which was saying a lot from her then. I didn't have that sort of control at her age. And he took one look at her with stars in her eyes I swore could stretch past heaven itself. When I turned him, I knew I was saving Romeo and Juliet."
Eunice giggled. "Oh stop it, Matthew. You even said he would make a fine vampire." She looked at Peter and the two of them shared a conspiratorial wink.
"Oh, I did." Matthew directed his attention toward me, a soft smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I offered him my blood for a reason..." His gaze shifted back to Eunice. "And not because of your constant begging and pleading."
Eunice laughed and Peter chuckled, but I continued studying Matthew, sensing something more behind the way he looked at me. It made me curious enough that I watched the way he acted with us all, in some effort to figure out how he related to us. Doing this didn't help me at all, though. He shared affection without any prejudice from one child to another.
"It's Matthew's way," Peter said to me as he took me out hunting. "I think he was treated so poorly by his maker, he overcompensates with us."
"His maker treated him poorly?" I slipped my hands inside the confines of my coat. "What did he do?"
Peter shrugged. "He never talks about it. He only ever says he tries to avoid what he went through without going easy on us. Eunice and I only guessed his maker must have been a bastard."
"But he's not alive any longer?"
"No." Peter shook his head. "Died in a fire in Boston. We can recover from a lot of things, but definitely not being cooked to ashes." Grinning, he winked at me.
I flashed a quick smirk, but remained silent for the rest of our outing. Another piece to the puzzle, yet still nothing which told me what he saw in me or why I even cared. It made me wonder if I had gone queer, but Peter didn't arouse me and neither did Eunice. Each time they asked if I wanted to lie with them, I declined, genuinely disinterested.
"I wonder if I'm more unusual for refusing or if they are for offering it," I said to Matthew one morning after they'd retired for the day. "I wouldn't think such a committed couple would be so willing to extend intimacy toward another."
"They know you lack a partner and are concerned." Matthew smirked. His eyes remained set on the strings of his violin. "You're much like me, though, Allen, and we seem to be the anomalies of vampire kind."
I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
He shrugged. "I haven't had the same compulsion toward sex the way other vampires do. I've met so many along the way set on bedding me, I've had to dismiss a lot of strange looks when I refused. From men and women alike." Matthew held the instrument to his ear and plucked a few of the strings. "Sexual intimacy pales in comparison to a good feed, in my opinion"
"I would agree." A slow grin surfaced on my face. "But you're aware of how I feel about blood."
Matthew hummed. He lowered his violin and set it on his lap. "The indulgences that make us what we are." Our eyes met briefly before Matthew forced himself to look away. As I settled in to sleep that morning, my heart felt heavy, resigned to the thought that I might never understand what it was that drew us together.
Within a few months of my turning, we moved our nest to Philadelphia and decided to form roots there. As I oversaw Matthew's investments, Eunice and Peter helped find property for us to purchase and mortal familiars who would manage our legal affairs. Matthew turned another immortal child, this one a woman named Constance. Demetrius followed, as did Elizabeth and Ingrid, and by the time I reached twenty-four years of immortal age, Matthew led a coven of eight vampires with Eunice as his second in command.
I never seemed to forget about it, though the things I felt whenever I was with him. Around the others, we conducted ourselves with gentlemanly candor, a growing formality in the way he held himself and the way I did in return. My siblings knew I was fiercely loyal to him, but nobody seemed to know why or question it enough to get to the root of my affections. I was grateful for his sake, but not for mine, because it meant he might not see it, either. I had come to terms with the pangs of desire he made me feel, and shortly after that, realized I had been in love with him. For several years, I kept it private, though, afraid that I might change things by admitting it.
When Ingrid reached the age where she could hunt with the others, Matthew's time freed up a little more. The estate we occupied was large enough for him to have his own quarters and each of us (aside from Peter and Eunice) to have a room of our own. Matthew claimed a spare room as an office and I spent many nights walking past, asking how I could be of help. Within weeks, I became a permanent fixture, and soon after, a silent tango commenced between Matthew and me.
Our eyes would converge and drift apart as though merely glancing at once another had become something hopelessly torrid. Once, we both held a gaze so steady, I felt a shiver crawl the entire length of my spine. That shared experience haunted me for nights afterward, with me drifting closer to him and him, closer to me. I watched him wrestle each time we brushed against each other, stepping away as though he faced some sort of consequence for lingering. One night, I felt brazen enough to sit on his desk, one foot resting against his leg as he sat in his chair. Staring, I refused to look away, until finally my maker glanced upward, his expression turning pained.
I furrowed my brow. "Matthew?" I asked, leaning closer. "Is something the matter?"
He drew a shaky breath. "Allen..." Suddenly, he rose to his feet and I watched, crestfallen, as he walked away, his back turned to me and a sizeable distance between us now. "You have to stop looking at me that way."
"Why?" I stood as well, but remained in place. "Looking at you how?"
"Your gaze entreats me. I know what you're looking for, but I can't do it." He brought a shaky hand to his head. "I refuse to do it to you."
"Do what to me?"
"What my maker did." Finally he turned to face me, blood tears welling in his eyes. "Allen, even if you are willing, I can't take advantage of you like that. I won't. You don't deserve it."
"Take advantage?" I damned the consequences and walked closer, taking hold of his shoulders with both hands. "What in God's name makes you think being with me would be taking advantage of me?"
Matthew shook his head. "I still remember it, Allen. The last time I had a shred of lust for somebody was when my maker took advantage of me. He... bound me and beat me and forced me into more. I won't do that to you." He looked into my eyes. "I let him die in that fire. I could have rescued him, but I didn't."
"Oh, gods." Throwing my arms around him, I clutched him tight against me as I shut my eyes. "I didn't know that's what your maker did to you."
He sighed, his breath still shaky. "I never tell anybody. You couldn't have known. I simply
I can't exploit a moment of weakness for you."
His words made me frown. I pulled away, but only so he could look me in the eyes. "This isn't a moment of weakness. I love you. I've loved you from the first days of my turning and have known it for years now. The first time you... pressed me against you and bit my neck, I wanted to cling onto you and kiss you. Even when I was still mortal." This time I looked at him with a hint of sadness in my eyes. "You aren't your maker. If you needed anybody to tell you that, I could have said it eons ago."
Matthew stared at me, an indistinguishable expression on his face that made me afraid I'd said something out of turn. Just as soon as I thought to open my mouth and apologize, though, he wrapped an arm around me and brought our bodies together, the action reminiscent of my turning. "I loved that mortal," he said. "I made him a vampire whom I have loved for twenty-four years. I just
didn't want you to think I'd force you to do anything you didn't want to do..."
Before he could finish, I pressed my lips against his, kissing him as I'd seen myself doing a thousand times in my mind. Both of my hands lifted to touch each side of his face while my lips continued motioning, waking his and forcing them to respond, even if I'd stunned him frozen by taking charge. Gradually, his hands began to slide over my body, and after moments of this, he was kissing me just as fervently as I was him. I was the one who lifted the first article of his clothing and it was me who shut the door before anyone else noticed.
We made love for the first time on the hardwood floor, with me on top and him quivering beneath me until we forced ourselves into completion. We bit into each other to muffle our screams, and caught our breath before commencing another couple rounds. He brought me into his room afterward and, for the rest of the night, we held each other tight, afraid to let go. My last thoughts were of the way he tasted and, as sleep came, my heart felt lighter than air.
It was unequivocally the happiest evening of my life.

It appears as though Wemp told one version of the story to Diamond and another to Shearer's researcher. The New Yorker says he reverted to his original story when a fact-checker was finally able to speak with him. This makes for a confusing situation. It may in fact require a court to sort it out.
But let's set aside the lawsuit for a moment and rewind to when the magazine was checking the story. It had what was basically a single-source story, and it wasn't able to check the article with the source, Daniel Wemp. The story itself also contained some very serious criminal allegations against the source in question. The dilemma is obvious: should you publish without getting some level of confirmation from the source or another party with specific knowledge of the events in question?
True, Diamond provided the magazine with what is by all accounts a notebook filled with detailed notes from his interview with Wemp, in addition to some recorded notes he made for himself. And there's the fact that he's, well, Jared Diamond, a respected author and scientist. A person's reputation can't excuse them from being checked, especially at the New Yorker, but he has impressive credentials. Was that a factor in deciding to go to print without further confirmation?
In the end, the magazine decided that Diamond's notes were enough to move ahead with the story. (The experts it contacted had no specific knowledge of the events.) It also made the decision to use Wemp's real name, thus implicating him in the murders. Remnick told Science that using real names is the standard journalistic practice, which is, of course, true.
"They thought they were being true to journalistic principles," Michael Balter, the author of the Science article, told me. "An anthropologist would use pseudonyms. The problem in this situation is that you've got a principal named source, and it's basically a one-source story… If you can't find the original source, then what do you do when you've got somebody named as being involved in criminal behavior?"
Exactly. I researched the practice of magazine fact-checking and interviewed current and former New Yorker fact-checkers for my book. I can't help but express a certain level of surprise that the story ended up in print. A reporter's notes are a valid source of facts, but they are not the preferred way to check a story. Nor should they be the only source of information when it comes to such serious allegations.
Fact-checkers everywhere learned the perils of notes-only checking thanks to Stephen Glass. He got away with fabricating articles because he also fabricated his notes. Let me be clear: I'm not saying that Diamond forged his notes. I don't think that's the case in any way, shape or form. My guess, and that's all it is at this point, is that Wemp spun some tall tales without realizing they could come back to haunt him. One expert quoted in the Science article suggests this was the case:
Anthropologist Pauline Wiessner of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, a leading expert on tribal warfare in PNG, thinks Diamond was naïve if he accepted Wemp's stories at face value, because young men in PNG often exaggerate their tribal warfare exploits or make them up entirely. "I could have told him immediately that it was a tall tale, an embellished story. I hear lots of them but don't publish them because they are not true."
As of now, there exist two very different versions of this tale of vengeance. In the end, someone's reputation will certainly be vanquished.

From my experience recogintion of hdmi audio is not connected to recognition of graphic card, correct me if I'm wrong.
So we have a proof that with 12c54 build (normal 10.8.2?) the gtx660m is correctly recognized (even with 2GB RAM), and newer iMacs and 10.8.3 could help nothing in this manner.
The key maybe is in DSDT as always, maybe famous user "bcc9" could help us debugging the problem - see amd or dell xps guide from him.

Tupper Lake Jim LaValley hoped Tupper Lake High School graduates heard more than "blah, blah, blah" during his commencement speech Saturday, June 23 in the high school gymnasium.
LaValley — the owner of LaValley Real Estate, chairman of ARISE (Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving Their Economy) and longtime TV personality during the annual High Peaks Hospice Day — shared his list of 10 "Blah, Blah, Blah Points" with the 64 graduating seniors. They're really nuggets of wisdom.
•1) Live life: "You have a vast region of enormous potential located somewhere between your ears ... As adults, we want to help you avoid the mistakes we made. That's not right. You need to make mistakes."
•2) Judging others: "Be careful how you judge others ... It shouldn't matter if a person is fat or skinny, white or black, straight or gay, athletic or geek. We're a part of one race, and it's called the human race. It's up to your generation to see that tolerance becomes contagious."
•3) Making mistakes: "If you make a mistake or somehow screwed up, it doesn't have to define you. What you did yesterday does not have to define you today. But it's up to you, and no one else, to define today."
•4) Listen: "Listen more than you talk. You'll be amazed at what you can learn when you listen."
•5) Have fun: "Don't be afraid to be goofy and entertain yourself. Don't count on others to make your fun. And spend some time by yourself."
•6) Success from failure: "Let me run a few names by you: Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Michael Jordan, Elvis ... They're all people who failed miserably before they became incredibly successful. They knew failure is not an ending; it's a beginning ... Listen to your mistakes."
•7) Giving back: "Give something back and do it with compassion, not always looking for a return."

Tyler Bertuzzi
1995-02-24 |
Eligible for draft:
2013 |
Left |
2013 |
6-0 |
2nd round (58th overall), 2013 |
178 lbs. |
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2010-11: Tyler Bertuzzi appeared in five major midget games for the Sudbury Nickel Capital Wolves and averaged two points per game for the Sudbury Wolves minor midget AA team. He had 1 goal with 1 assist and 12 penalty minutes in three regular season games with Sudbury Nickel Capital and in two playoff games was scoreless with 12 penalty minutes. Bertuzzi had 18 goals with 36 assists in 26 midget AA games and had 26 penalty minutes. He was selected by Guelph in the fourth round (78th overall) of the 2011 OHL Priority Draft.
2011-12: Bertuzzi played in 61 games for Guelph in his first OHL season. He scored 6 goals with 11 assists and was +7; finishing second on the Storm with 117 penalty minutes. Guelph reached the playoffs, finishing fourth in the Midwest Division. Bertuzzi played in 5 of 6 games during the first round series with Plymouth and had 2 assists with 7 penalty minutes.
2012-13: Bertuzzi skated in 43 regular season games for Guelph in his second season, missing over two months after suffering a neck injury with concussion-like symptoms at the end of October. He finished the season with 13 goals and 9 assists and was -2 with 68 penalty minutes. Guelph once again finished fourth in the Midwest Division, behind OHL champion London, Owen Sound and Kitchener. Bertuzzi was scoreless with an even plus/minus and 14 penalty minutes in the five-game first round series with Kitchener. Ranked 207th amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings, Bertuzzi was selected by Detroit in the second round (58th overall) of the 2013 NHL Draft.
Talent Analysis
Known as a high-energy, high-effort player, Bertuzzi has some offensive upside. He did display better offensive skills towards the end of the 2012-13 season but his bread and butter remains his ability to get under the skin of opponents. Bertuzzi is not afraid to fight and he forechecks hard with consistency.
Bertuzzi will return to the Guelph Storm in 2014-15. If he plays a full regular season the way he played the end of the 2013-14 season he will likely project as more than a checking wing.

Privileged activity monitoring
Shell Control Box is an activity monitoring appliance that controls privileged access to remote IT systems, records activities in searchable movie-like audit trails, and prevents malicious actions. SCB is a quickly deployable enterprise tool with the widest protocol coverage on the market. It is completely independent from clients and servers - integrating seamlessly into existing infrastructures.
Central policy enforcement
SCB acts as a centralized authentication and access-control point in your IT environment, which improves security and reduces user administration costs. The granular access management helps you to control who can access what and when on your servers.
Advanced protection of sensitive data
SCB perfectly isolates your sensitive systems from unknown intruders or from non-authorized users. In addition, it tracks all authorized access to sensitive data and provides actionable information in the case of human errors or unusual behavior.
Prevention of malicious activities
SCB monitors privileged activity in real-time and detects anomalies as they occur. Upon detection of a suspicious user action (for example entering a destructive command, such as "delete"), SCB can send you an alert or immediately terminate the connection.
Tighter employee & partner control
SCB audits "who did what", for example on your database or SAP servers. Once aware of this, your employees will have a greater sense of responsibility, leading to a reduction in human errors. By having an easily interpreted, tamper-proof record, finger-pointing issues can be eliminated.
Faster, cost-effective supervisory audits
SCB makes all user activity traceable by recording them in high quality, tamper-proof and easily searchable audit trails. The movie-like audit trails ensure that all the necessary information is accessible for ad-hoc analyses or custom activity reports.
Lower troubleshooting & forensics costs
When something goes wrong, you need to understand the real story. Analyzing thousands of text-based logs can be a nightmare and may require the participation of external experts. The ability to easily reconstruct user activity allows you to shorten investigation time and avoid unexpected cost.
"BalaBit offers industrial strength session monitoring and recording."
"The Forrester Wave™: Privileged Identity Management, Q1 2014", Forrester Research, Inc., by Andras Cser.
What can you use SCB for?
Monitor your IT administrators
Internal "superusers", such as system administrators, developers or C-level managers have practically unrestricted access to your information assets. These users can intentionally - or accidentally - perform harmful actions in IT systems that can cause great damage to the business. Learn More
Control your IT outsourcing and cloud partners
IT contractors such as vendors, services providers or independent consultants all require privileged access to internal networks. Giving responsibility to them is always a security risk. Learn More
Audit your Citrix and VMware View users
Terminal services users are a potential security risk in many situations. At most companies, users at different organizational levels (e.g. legal department, HR, sales, etc.) have the possibility to access and manipulate the most sensitive information, such as customer data. Learn More
Meet local laws and international standards
Regulations like SOX, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, or the EU Data Protection Act increasingly mandate strict protection of sensitive information - be it personal data, credit card data, or financial information. Learn More
Improve IT incident management
The simple question "Who did what on our server?" is one of the toughest questions to answer in IT today. When something wrong happens, everybody wants to know the real story immediately. Learn More

Finally after 88 days of the 90-120 I was told to expect my Nevada CCW permit arrived yesterday! Oddly enough, it was a bit of a let down in some ways. As frustrating as it was eagerly checking the mail everyday and wondering when it would finally arrive, now that I have it it really doesn't seem like a big deal. Being able to protect myself and my loved ones certainly is a big deal, but after carrying in the house for a few months breaking in holsters it really wasn't a big deal to go out in public carrying. It didn't feel like everyone was looking at me or that "they all know I'm carrying" - it just felt like any other day with a little added weight and piece of mind.
On a side note, between putting in my initial application and receiving my permit I did pick up another gun that I would much rather carry than the original one I qualified with. I know I have to have a certified CCW instructor qualify me with the new gun and then go back down to the records office and pay a fee to have it added to the permit. Does anyone in the N. NV area (Washoe Co. specifically) know the fee and if they are able to add the additional gun immediately?
Thanks in advance and I'm glad to be part of this community!

Is this site legitimate? Is it a worthwhile organization to contribute $$$?
I got an email today from National Association for Gun Rights asking for a donation to the "legal defense fund." I'm confused though about the difference between the two organizations (National Association for Gun Rights and National Foundation for Gun Rights). I would certainly like to contribute to the legal defense of citizens who have been targeted by Holder's Gestapo, but I don't know anything about these people. Should I send them money?

I'm really liking the F-150, and well once the younger brother starts driving he more than likely will get my truck and we're planning to get another truck, but this time a full size truck.
I know what the pop wants, he want's a somewhat long bed; The CrewMax kills bed size because of the bigger cab so I know he prefers the double cab (6.5ft bed), the F-150 has a 4 Door "CrewMax" also, but unlike the tundra you still get the 6.5ft bed. Plus for the F-150
Towing Capacity is less on the F-150, but not really a priority, I doubt we will ever tow anything, or ever tow anything that maxes the towing capacity of both trucks.
He prefers the 4.7L V8 of the tundra, we'd really not like to get the 5.7L V8, but the F-150's 5.0L V8 puts out more HP/Torque than the 4.7L while getting about the same MPG, so another plus for the F-150
4X4 Isn't a must, but it's something I'd REALLY like being my tacoma is just a regular 4x2 PreRunner, It'd be nice to actually go out off-roading and not worry about getting stuck easily, and not only that, if my dad does manage to obtain a deer lease this season, I doubt most of the roads are paved...
The ground clearance is higher on the Tundra. 10in for the Tundra and 8 for the F-150, both for the 4x4 model.
He also wants leather seats, but both trucks need their Premium packages, so I doubt that will happen. Pricing is another thing, after configuring both trucks online the tundra came out to 34K, and 38K for the F-150 and I know that they're online configurations, I'm going to visit the Ford Dealership and see what they have in the lot sooner or later. I'm pretty sure we can talk down that price though. Especially with ford lol.
Both trucks have Off-Road Packages, both trucks have good crash test ratings, and both look really nice on the exterior to me. However, the F-150's interior is really appealing to me.
Toyota Trucks and SUVs have been in our family for a long time, pretty much since the 1993 4Runner, we had a Dodge RAM before my tacoma and well that broke down after about 100k miles and my dad had it with "American" made trucks. He does have a slight (very slight) liking for the F-150, and well if it is a better truck than the tundra I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to convince.
Thoughts? Ideas? Comments? I'd like the input of those who have owned or still own one of the more recent F-150s. Reliability will be a big thing for us, and after spending so much on a truck we shouldn't be spending more to keep bringing it in the shop.
