With Lois and Phil's car in the shop, I told Lois I would pick her up for our next jaunt. We talked about several places and I wanted to go to a burger place, but Lois suggested The Big Table on Cross Street. We saw Merv's Burgers next door and I wanted to detour, but I figured I could just go back that way and visit them later.
The Big Table was a quaint little place that looked like an old house and had parking in the back. They only had eight tables in the place and they were not big ones. I think Lois and I both had burgers on our mind because we both asked our waitress if they had any. She said, "No, we don't want to compete with Merv'. We are more of a Mom and Pop place with casseroles and sandwiches."
Looking over the menu I saw a few sandwich platters listed for about $7.25 and decided I wanted a sandwich instead of a casserole. The waitress left a hand-written board with the specials listed and we decided on sandwiches from there. Lois saw her ol' standby - a "Reuben". I didn't say a word, I minded my own business. I figured if she ordered what she always does, there was a better chance of her liking her meal.
We ordered a diet Coke which was brought in a can with a glass of ice (that meant we could forget refills). Lois got her Reuben and I ordered a chicken and avocado sandwich. The waitress said the sandwiches came with their homemade sweet potato chips and a pickle. We also asked about the pies and she said they were homemade too. We told her we would go ahead and order Key Lime and Chocolate Chess pies.
We were sitting next to a cozy fire and looked around while we waited on our meals. I saw a tall pepper grinder on the mantle and it looked like part of the fireplace! It had to have been three feet tall! I told Lois I would tease the waitress when she came back and ask for some fresh ground pepper.
Our sandwiches came and they looked good. The sweet potato chips were curled like they had been fried. I didn't see avocado on my sandwich, but saw a little green. I thought maybe they had used a paste like some of those franchise sandwich shops do. But when I bit into it, I saw that they were just thin slices. My sandwich was wonderful and Lois liked hers too. Her rye bread was a lighter than I am used to seeing, but Lois said she liked that.
When the waitress came back to check on us I decided to pull my joke on her and I asked if I could have some ground pepper and pointed to the monstrosity on the fireplace. She said, "Sure!" and started towards it. I told her I was only teasing and thought it was just for show. She said, "The owner's son got that for her, but it is real and works… it is hard to use though." I guess the joke was on me.
After our meal, the waitress brought our pies and I nibbled a few bites of each and left the rest for slow-eating Lois still finishing her Reuben. The Chocolate Chess pie was fine, but I thought it was grainy and too sweet for my taste. I liked the Key Lime pie and, even though there wasn't a slice of lime for a garnish, it was good.
When I was handed the bill I thought I would lose my teeth. It was $51.37 for two sandwich platters, two drinks and two slices of pie. I realized that I didn't see the prices listed on the "specials" board, but I never dreamed a sandwich lunch anywhere in Chattanooga would be $25.00 each. I tried to add it up in my head… two diet cokes (no refills) two sandwiches with sweet potato chips and a pickle included and two small slices of pie (which we were told was buy one get one free that day). At the most, I could add up approximately $35 dollars, but even THAT would be pretty high.
It didn't make sense to me, but when I do my spying on places I visit, I try not to be too memorable so I can stay incognito and I didn't cause a fuss. If it were a mistake maybe they will make it right, but the waitress took my ticket and never said a word when I paid $51.37 (plus her tip) as if there was nothing wrong with that amount. And, she watched me sign it so I guess that was the correct total.
When we got in the car, I told Lois how much our meal came to and she was flabbergasted. I told her I didn't remember seeing the prices listed on the specials board and she said, "Well I don't think our lunch was that special!" I didn't either. I would have recommended this place, but with their prices for a simple sandwich lunch I just can't. I was so shook up, I made a wrong turn and Lois and I noticed we were driving up Signal Mountain!
Lois said, "I hope you have enough gas! And I didn't go to the bathroom either!" I reminded her she went before she left her house and she said, "No, I mean back at the restaurant." I didn't want to take a chance on Lois not making it, so I turned around at the spaceship house and we headed back to her house.
We both enjoyed our sandwiches, but at that price I have to say it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
(Note: the manager said later that the waitress had charged about twice what the bill should have been, and she would straighten the matter out. She apologized. She called it "a computer error as well as an oversight for both the waiter and patron.")

Casa Cuenca
We stayed for six nights in the room with 3 beds. We would have preferred one of the bedrooms with a double bed as they have windows to the outside. Our beds had very comfortable mattresses, toilet and sink ensuite - but the shower was through the kitchen.
We had a very nice time with the other guests and Malcolm the host, so one evening we had a fabulous potluck, it was so nice to be able to use a fridge and a kitchen.
We only met Merial briefly but she seems super nice. Breakfast was good, awesome homemade juice each morning, we loved the two little dogs, and the house is in an area close to the river to go for walks or runs. We also really appreciated being able to wash a load of laundry. We left to go to the coast and Malcolm kindly let us leave one suitcase at his place for a week.
Every place also has its disadvantages, and what I'd change would be that Malcolm (who is hard of hearing) when watching loud TV would start using head phones, though the ... mehr

Cleaning 95 yr old white oak flooring
We have the original 95 yr old flooring throughout our entire home. When we moved in 6+ ys ago, we had the floors stripped and refinished with a horribly smelly oil based finish. We moved out during that process but have absolutely loved our floors since then.
Through these 6 yrs, we've inadvertently brought little bits of tar and other black specks in on our shoes and, of course, the tiny spots have transferred to the floors.
What would you suggest for getting the tar specks off? I've tried a 50/50 mix of vinegar/water, I've tried non-alcohol windex, I've tried a 25/75 mix of dish soap and water. So far, nothing has worked.
Do I go with denatured alcohol? Something else so I don't ruin the oil based finish?
Thanks for any ideas.
I have used paint thinner with good results to clean up tar spots on fully cured oil modified urethane. However this does not mean that it will work with your finish, but it might. Do you know what the finish is? Use a soft cloth and light pressure. My suggestion is to test in an area that does not show and wait a day to see what happens before going on. If it is not urethane finish you might wait for another post. Look at the gloss level especially. Do not use lacquer thinner.
Thanks, owf. We have an oil finish, no urethane of any type. I'll try paint thinner in an out of the way spot...but the problem might be that we don't walk in the out of the way spots...we tend to walk in the middle of the rooms!
flooring gaps are really big problem, I lived on 2 floor, water comes out from my kitchen and flows into bedroom, my bedroom is installed with solid oak flooring, but now the water almost destroy it, it is shrink, and gaps are seen there, does it mean the moisture content of solid oak flooring is becoming less and less? I also can not find good ways to solve this problem, if there is good method, please let me know, thank you so much!!!!!
Here is a link that might be useful: oak flooring
Paint thinner should not harm any existing finish.
You do need to be careful though.
It will dissolve tar and if the resulting liquid seeps into cracks it can carry the tar with it.
The thinner then evaporates, the tar does not.
It usually does not show much (if at all) but should be avoided just in case (it is easier to avoid the problem than need to fix it if it happens).
Hold a paper towel over the paint thinner can opening, and briefly invert the can (10-15 seconds is enough). Make sure the opening is well covered and backed up by your hand.
Use nitrile gloves to protect you hands.
Enough thinner will soak into the paper towel.
Use the now wet spot to rub over the tar spots.
They will dissolve and soak into the paper towel.
Wipe with a clean dry spot on the towel and see if everything came up.
And then that nasty thing, repeat till clean.
Keep the windows open since paint thinner fumes are flammable.
There is regretfully no fast way to clean tar without also stripping the finish or just smearing the tar around.

Southern Baptist website blocked on some US bases
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 7:40pm EDT
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Some military chaplains trying to access the Southern Baptist Convention website this week were surprised to find it blocked with a message that it contained "hostile content."
The problem left military officials having to explain to leaders of the nation's largest Protestant denomination that it was an unintentional software glitch.
Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. Damien Pickart said Thursday in an interview that the problem seemed to be with the commercial software the military uses to protect its network. The software blocks access to prohibited sites, like those for pornography or gambling, as well as sites that might have some type of malware associated them, often unbeknownst to the site's owners.
"It probably doesn't help that the message that comes up when a site is blocked will often say 'malicious content,' or in this case it said 'hostile content.' People will look at that and think, 'What is hostile about this site?'
"It should probably say there might be malicious software associated with the site."
Pickart said the department was working diligently to find and fix the issue blocking the SBC's website.
The department strongly supports the rights of service members, including their ability to access religious websites, he said.
SBC spokesman Sing Oldham said the military has told denominational leaders the blockage was accidental. Even so, he called it "deeply disturbing."
In a statement to the media, Oldham said, "If the government has blocked any part of the sbc.net website for any purpose that would be an unconscionable breach of trust with the American public."
Ron Crews is the executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, which represents groups that send chaplains to the military. He said chaplains need to access their denominations' websites for materials and information.
The Nashville-based Southern Baptist Convention has 16 million members and Crews said it provides more military chaplains than any other faith group.
He said many evangelicals have become concerned since the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that chaplains and other military personnel who hold conservative religious views about homosexuality -- such as believing that homosexual sex is sinful -- will face discrimination.
"We're just hopeful that the military's going to resolve this quickly and that chaplains will be able to maintain communication with their denominations," he said. " ... We want to make sure the military is not singling out evangelicals in some way that's putting them in a negative light."

From: Halls, Wander
Office of Dr. Halls, Associate Professor of Psychiatry
Sheppard Pratt Hospital
Maryland, USA
To Director Treublatt,
I am messaging you in regards to one of your recent recruits.
I am overjoyed to hear of my sister's employment with the Phoenix Group and, though I may predict you already possess this knowledge, feel obligated to let you know personally additional details to best empower her status, as well as provide further notice to forfeiting her Arbiter status among the Templars. I remain an Executor among this Order, and will be working with our faction handler to expedite her transition as smoothly as possible.
Please let her know that she will be missed.
I am sure Elana will have already spoken of me at least once during your interview process. It goes without saying that we keep in touch regularly, and of hearing her placement within your Medical Division, offered my time in teaching her rudimentary Blood techniques throughout this transition period.
As follows, please see below my recommendations for her best practice:
Supplements: I strongly recommend providing Elana with additional essential iron and erythropoiesis stimulating agents throughout her training and in fieldwork. Synthetic erythropoietin will suffice in addition to hydration and electrolytes.
Exsanguination: Elana MUST minimize the extent to which she draws from her own vitals to sustain others. A regular briefing of each members' blood volume and levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit before deployment will be helpful in preventing this. The aforementioned supplementing may help if this is not an option, but at a minimum, she must be aware of her own limits before exceeding them.
Anima: Beyond her very rudimentary skills in Blood practice, she will be categorized by a much more prominent characteristic: empathetic sensing and mimicry, directly influenced to her more natural, acquired affinity to Chaos.
It is strongly recommended that you provide a partner or group with a strong Will or mental fortitude, however defined, to mitigate risks and stress. She will be her calmest when she is with me, but I am a non-combatant and remain within my Order and my duties.
A follow-up note on her current condition:
Elana's empathetic capacities were fractured during the event as seen in last July. She has undergone considerable rehabilitation as well as training from additional Chaos practitioners and empaths to learn and automate new responses to Filth-related threats.
My sister is no longer fully autonomous to her mimicry. She has been known to take on the moods of those around her, good or bad, and occasionally suffer temporary dissonant episodes. These are often manifested in fits of panic, depression, or mild confusion.
If she cannot be calmed down, her mind will protect itself usually through a rapid expulsion of Chaotic energy, or falling unconscious indefinitely.
Some trauma have her waking in less than an hour, but others (re: Egypt, 5 days; re: Kaidan, 33 days) depend on the magnitude of exposure.
Lastly, as I understand it Director Treublatt, you worked among the team that built the Council of Venice's training simulations before your role as Director. Elana had a few tests remaining to pass among the Templars if she were to be granted clearance to ever return to Kaidan; it is up to you if you wish to adhere to those tests, or at a minimum, allow me to provide recommended conditions of stress testing:
– Crowds, riots, large gatherings of people united in common elevated emotional states;
– Anarchy, chaos, these same gatherings but now each individual in a personal elevation of panic and scrambling;
– Filthy humans, aggressive humanoid creatures, filth corrupted creatures;
– A copy of myself, a colleague, friend, in a life-threatening situation;
– A copy of myself, and so forth, but allow the simulation to provoke inevitable casualties.
These parameters may sound strange, especially from her next of kin, but they are the common themes Elana had yet to face in her final stages of recovery. She must learn to retain her focus and personal agency in dense populations, in episodes of Filth exposure, and even in the scenario of a significant other's injury or death.
The Elana you met and hired has come a long way from the sister I have grown with. But if she is to expand and truly become her own person, please provide the stress, bending and thresholds of tolerance that myself, as her brother, could not do.
I trust that this information will be useful to you for your mission planning and deployment.
Best wishes,

A Young Immortal
"Like two birds of golden plumage, inseparable companions, the individual self and the immortal Self are perched on the branches of the selfsame tree. The former tastes of the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree; the latter, tasting of neither, calmly observes."
The Mundaka Upanishad
Someone has contacted me this week in regards of seeing a particular entity. A new immortal. A young immortal. And as it happens, he hasn't been taking it very well.
To meet with new and different immortal variants is by far the highlight of my life's work. There is much to learn, beyond the acquisition of immortality itself, to hear and explore whether by oral tradition or material culture anything surrounding that individual's life course, how it shaped them, how it could influence further shaping.
Immortality anxiety, grief and immortal existentialism were the focus of studies I took on two years ago in Egypt. It was beautiful, fascinating work that has shown me multiple paths to negotiating an emerging immortal identity.
It is, in some cases, a 'death' experience: the loss of previous mortality. And I've seen this death come about in many ways, a story for another time. Either way, many flow through the same coping experience: denial of immortality, anger to those responsible or to those they will outlive/will be living indefinitely with, bargaining to what could have been done to avoid it, depression and loss over both the past in a mortal life and the indefinite future of an immortal life; and finally, an acceptance, whether it is a substantial resilience that will continue to grow and change or a floundering that seeks oblivion in the form of comfortable monotony.
I understand, however, that my research takes the particular characteristic of individuals facing their immortality alone or with a small cohort of supports, and not within the wide network of greater 'factions'. Many lacked prior information in the negotiation of their acquisition (and I refer to the creation/becoming/receiving of immortality as the 'acquisition', from now on) and that is exactly how they discovered me in the first place. Please do take this in mind, and while I am often sent to meet those lost and struggling, many -have- taken to the previously mentioned 'substantial resilience' of acquisition, optimistic, thriving, and becoming their own change agents of self-actualization.
This current variant is struggling with how their identity will change in regards to their mortal companions, as well as recollecting the factors of their negotiation of the acquisition, from which it seems has been purged from his memory.
He wants me to take him through my research and what I have seen, experienced and learned in the field and see if it jogs anything that could give a sign. His mortal kin are conspicuously silent.
That's all for now.
Terra Nullius Revisited
Elana took a slower, longer path home after her inaugural flight with Colonel Daklan, her visitation to Prometheus, and her interview with what were soon to be her future employers. That morning, she dressed in attire professional yet unsensible for the heat of Egypt–now it was the civil twilight of Essex in mid-February, her shivering barely kept at bay by her passive, stirring Anima.
She walked with her arms tightly crossed, her face twisted in exhaustion and worry as she continued along one of the many scattered roads bordering the town of Saffron Walden. It had been at least two years since she had discovered the future she was to inherit, going out of her way considerably to find it: first, there was the property her grandparents used to live in, so much dust to remove and so many memories of a life she never knew they lived; the St. Mary's Cathedral, where they had been married, and found a place to match their colour-faded wedding photos, the only evidence they shared of themselves in her childhood; the cemetery on Thaxted Road, where they had actually been buried, leaving Elana to wonder just who was lowered into those grave sites back in Canada, and so much more that still remained out of her grasp–her best leads remained meticulously tucked away, stowed, or concealed by decades-old wards she dared not touch in her own home.
To live in an inheritance property a half-hour's walk from a small town of 14,000 residents was what she needed to rest from each and every day's exposure to people–all of their little flickers of mood and impulse that used to disturb her, but now only caused a gradual discomfort. Every few minutes, a shipping truck or taxi would catch Elana's sulky walk, slowing to lower a window and shout if she was okay–Elana would turn her head, pulling out the best fake English accent she could that she didn't need help, and if that wasn't enough to content the driver in question, her eyes would narrow and gaze into theirs for whatever empathetically-supported reassurance or threat was just enough for them to drive away.
The moisture in the air curtailed the pleasant ozone smell that resulted from utilizing her Chaotic, emotional abilities. She didn't know how long this particular walk would take–switching roads and paths home was a very regular thing she did at the end of most workdays. What was harder for her, in every sense of the term, was revisiting older paths, fearing what she might run into again.
But this night, the road was framed by deep woods and undergrowth in ditches that separated scattered farmlands and even larger, richer properties–she often took the hollow earth's path of golden branches that led her to Gamage's Wood, sneaking past the well-groomed tourist trap of Audley End before making her way home–instead, she took a main road, allowing any assortment of mundies and Templars emeriti–and there were many in this town–to take as many fleeting glances and disdainful headshakes to her as they wished.
She knew this much about herself in that moment–that she was alone, that she needed to think, that she needed more time to herself than usual to be alone in her thoughts, and that her life was about to change. The listlessness she used to carry–one that pitied her for the amount of time it had taken for her to recover from her mind's collapse in Kaidan, was replaced now by an uncertainty for her decision to join the Phoenix Group.
She wanted a change, she knew that well enough. How many times had she complained to her friends, her brother, her employers, that she can't be stuck in the Red's low-priority, high risk profile anymore? Anger flashed through her thoughts as she tried to blame someone higher-up for their decision to throw her in Kaidan for counsel work; the anger left her just as quickly as she remembered very fondly that she was still new, still curious, still felt invincible and capable, and the Templars wanted answers.
She proved herself useful in her initial sequestered months at the Hall, calming down other young, green agents shaken by their first glimpses of horror. But Temple Hall and Susanoo's were very different. It was not the safehouse her employers thought it would be–they forgot the factor nearly everyone did in the occupational hazards of empathy: nearly each and every refugee she was asked to meet was grasping onto the thinnest, most shallow membranes of normalcy and reality, and there existed one particular day in that past that she joined them in their despondence. Many hours of deep medical sedation and an airlift later, she was condemned never to return and isolated in her own headquarters for analysis, until her brother stepped in to break her out and take her on as his patient.
She blinked as memories began to slip in her mind's eye. Silhouettes of human forms gathered in small, scattered cohorts; she was in the fetal position, he was inebriated and on his nth bottle, she was closing her eyes and savoring Akashi's food; they were holding hands and walking in the outer limits of the property, he was on his phone….
The man on his phone. He would never stop texting on his broken phone. He apologized to his family and his God over and over. He'd scream at the top of his lungs if you tried to take it away. Elana remembered his name as it escaped her lips in remorse: "Toru."
Toru was the pseudonym for the last client Elana saw before she collapsed in July. His pain seemed different, his coping methods of rituals and regression a spectacle. She was part of a skeleton crew that night and had to look after his instrumental tasks of eating, sleeping and hygiene.
And one night, he was inconsolable, and she had to engage her powers substantially to calm him down.
Elana stopped walking, standing still as her vision began to shake. Not one part of her rehabilitation asked her to remember what happened. But now, she was finally past that rehab, about to release herself from the administrative hell that was interfactional bureaucracy, and there was a chance at least -something- could make sense, of how she was broken.
She clenched her fists and tried to slip her self-pity away into ambition, just for the time being, channeling more Anima into her feet as she broke into a mad dash from the safety of the highway road straight into the direction of fields and trees that would lead her to her home.
A clean, expensive-looking filing cabinet contrasted against the rustic antiquity of her grandparents' old house. Elana reached the front door, opening and closing it swiftly as she continued past the front entranceway into an open living room, where the filing cabinet stood as a jarring, red-metallic reminder of who she once worked for. She thrust open the lowest shelf, flipping through pages immediately to find the right ones.
"Toru….he'd be…this one. Perfect." Elana grasped her hands around a worn file folder, opening onto a nearby wooden table the crisp white pages of a facsimile: Toru's report. For what was worth the cost of work to the Templars, the cost of dropping out of grad school to swallow a Bee–alphabetizing was a small victory.
Elana's eyes darted back and forth as memories returned in great clarity:
"44 years old. Male. On-site 27 days, recovered from third party safehouse contamination. Documents on person were a cell phone and wallet…"
Nothing yet.
"Wallet reveals personal documentation that 'Toru' is not a permanent resident of the Tokyo region. Client is from Kagoshima Prefecture, Okinawa. Cell phone was found broken on person. 'Toru' refuses to dispose of the phone."
She knew that much already.
"'Toru' can be seen holding and interacting with his phone when not engaged with other refugees or staff. Client likely regresses into fixations of past events, implementing ideations into reality by the hand gestures observed on his phone."
Hand gestures? Elana shut her eyes imagining Toru thumbing a cracked black screen in a distinctive pattern. What the hell would he be trying to say? To who?
"Otherwise, 'Toru' engages in repetitive murmurs to family, employers, and religious faith. Client's grieving is erratic and primarily following a context of guilt over family and religious beliefs. Refuses to talk about himself, directly."
Elana gasped, covering her mouth in anguish. She remembered he was so distraught that night, she had to use her Anima to put him to sleep.
Elana sat that night in one of the diner's many tables, her hands squeezed tightly against Toru's will as she focused in on him, channeling warm Anima between their hands. Toru was a slobbering wreck who let his arms fall limp, silently crying and shaking his head in an endless "No" gesture in front of her. She started slowly and carefully, like she always did, trying to insert any semblance of comfort his mind would take: security, softness, bravery, silence, release….
And that's when it happened. Elana slipped from the table holding Toru's open intel as she collapsed to the ground of her home, smacking her head on one of the table's legs, gripping her temples and clenching her teeth.
Sliding deeper within the mind of Toru was a sensation Elana could only describe as a broken record, spewing endless chatter in a language she could not understand, something vicious, threatening, teasing, and commanding. Reluctantly, Elana crept her senses closer in, her heart quickening as she exposed herself to the unadulterated and raw madness of her companion's trauma.
Each cold, sharp sensation translated into shivers, tears, and mumbled mantras from the outside. Mantras she eventually started repeating in unison with him. Tears that eventually dehydrated her, assaulted her head with a migraine and a river of sinuous thoughts beyond comprehension before losing her balance out of her chair and curling up in helplessness and fear.
Elana glowered as she forced her palms to ground, channeling Chaos beneath her as the aged, wooden floorboards shattered immediately beneath her hands. Breathing deeply, Elana's vision returned to the sight of splintered wood, her bloodied skin, and patches of her hair against her knuckles. She brushed a shaky hand through her hair–an alarming number of strands came wrapped around her fingers. Hair loss, numbness and anxiety were typical signs that she couldn't control her powers. Cursing under her breath, Elana leaned back into a sitting position, drawing her knees up to lean against her forehead, exhausted.
She knew this much about herself in that moment–that she was alone, that she needed to think, that she needed more time to herself than usual to be alone in her thoughts, and that her life was about to change…
and that she needed, beyond anything, to find out who Toru was. Any possible word or trace of where he once was or could be. Whether he didn't mean to do it. Whether he did. Whether or not he found his family again.
And whether or not he was planted there on purpose.
Elana returned a hand to her chest and grasped at her sweater with a clumsy fist. A nervous smile came to her face–maybe this was the change she was finally looking for.
Your Choice
No matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away.
Blue Mountains
At the top of one of the several hundred blue mountains that rose from the ground in that distant planet, under a night of stars and dreams, above a sleeping city, a conversation began to take place.
"Do you know what day it is?" A man of silver skin and shining eyes asked without turning.
"No…" A young mind answered, one which had been born into an eternal body, ignorant of the millennia that preceded him, without thinking much on the questions he was hearing.
"Today is the day we remember the dead." The voice of the prehistoric man explained, his voice resonating in the valleys between the mountains.
"What's that?" The gaze of the young mind turned to the man that was with him, trying to remember an instance in his life in which that word was used.
"It's the day we remember the people that were here before us. You know… we weren't always made of silver, we haven't always lived here, in the center of the galaxy. Everything you see here hasn't always been… and some of us that were, are not anymore." The man rose from the ground and pointed towards a barely visible dot in the zenith. Amongst the millions of interstellar fireflies, an almost imperceptible light stood out in his eyes. A yellow light, a distant light, a light so ethereal that it was almost impossible to remember the warmth that emanated from within it. "Up there… that's where things die, that's where we must look upon, that's where we come from and where many stayed behind."
"Is that Earth?" The young mind watched the almost invisible light of the star where his ancestors had sprouted from, where the silver man, who stood next to him, had spent his first years, or so they said. "Do you remember something?" He dared to ask.
"I remember…" He said without lowering his hand, staring at the star above his shining finger. "I remember the crickets singing every night. I remember the dances we would go to, everyone was there, we laughed and we remembered things from another past. I remember her, her spectacular smile, her pleasant laugh, her deep eyes and her good soul. I remember the lush tree under which we sat to talk for hours."
"What's a tree?"
And even though the man had heard the question, he ignored it. "I don't remember the things we said anymore, I remember her face, but not her voice. I remember her hair, but not her body." For an instant the man wanted to smash his eternal body, for a moment he wanted to rip his face off and cry the tears accumulated across thousands of years. But crying was no longer possible.
"Why do we remember them?"
"Oblivion. Oblivion is the place where things that are forgotten go. Oblivion exists beyond the last star of our galaxy, it exists beyond even the borders of our universe. We can keep defying it, we can keep believing that we'll be alive even after everything else has disappeared. We can pretend that we are gods and that nothing will ever end us, but end comes for us all. At the end of all things oblivion will be waiting for us in the darkness."
The man of silver lowered his hand, and again the yellow light of that ancient sun drowned into the sea of stars. He sat back down and after a pause he said: "We remember them to give them back their lives… we remember so that they can walk with us in our journey, we remember so that they'll live forever with us and so we can postpone the oblivion that will one day consume us… for another moment with them… for another moment of life."

2. What is your real name?
"…it's still Elana?"
3. Do you know why you were called that?
"I heard it was kind of loosely taken from my mom's name, which was Alaine. Put the letters in a blender and that comes out, I guess. Better than my brother, he always gets asked if he's lost."
4. Are you single or taken?
"I haven't had that talk yet…but I haven't exactly been spending my time with anyone else but him in such a way."
5. Have any abilities or powers?

9. Have you any family members?
"My big brother is still around. He doesn't live or work in the same country, though."
10. Oh? What about pets?
"I consider myself too busy and self-absorbed to be able to look after a pet right now. I do have a number of easy to care for plants around my house."
11. That's cool I guess, now tell me about something you don't like.
"I don't like sarcasm. And people who stir up trouble for the sake of it. What a huge waste of energy."
12. Do you have any hobbies/activities you like doing?
"I used to swim a lot. When I first moved to the UK I soaked it all in like a tourist and walked everywhere. I adore the bike rentals all over town."
13. Ever hurt anyone before?

"I look up to my brother a lot. And I look up to my grandparents."
18. Gay, straight, or bisexual?
"I'm pretty straight. A two on the Kinsey Scale, I like to think."

The only difference is that I do not openly pity myself in front of anyone anymore."
26. Well, it's not over yet!
"That's fine."
27. What class are you? (High class, middle class, low class)

35. What's your type?
"According to who is in my life right now? Oh, the misunderstood hungry party type. Probably because by default I end up seeing past it…horns and all."

Rock star Bob Geldof, whose new album, Sex, Age and Death is due out on Oct. 1, to Britain's Daily Mail on taking care of Tiger Lily, his ex-wife's daughter with INXS lead singer Michael Hutchence since her fatal drug overdose last September.
"Here's this little sprog, her mum and dad had died, her sisters were living with me-there was no question," Geldof said. "On the morning Paula died, [Tiger Lily] was with us within half an hour of that phone call, has been there ever since and will be until she's grown up. Anyone would have done the same. It's not an issue."

'Minions' First Look: See Sandra Bullock's Supervillain, Scarlet Overkill
The massive success of the 'Despicable Me' films have created a monster. Monsters, actually. Well, cute, yellow, strange little monsters that countless children (and some adults) all over the world have fallen in love with. Yeah, 'Minions' is going to be huge and it's all going to be thanks to those little guys. However, the presence of a major star like Sandra Bullock can't hurt and Universal has released the first images of her supervillain character, Scarlet Overkill.
Young Boy Suspended For Bringing the "One Ring" to School
Forged in the fires of Mount Doom, the Ring of Power was stripped from the hand of Sauron following the final battle with the Last Alliance and became of a keepsake of Prince Isildur. Now corrupted by the One Ring, Isildur fell in battle, losing the ring to the river. From there, "Isildur's Bane" fell into the hands of the creature known as Gollum and from there, into the hands of the Hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins. It was only through the efforts of the Fellowship of the Ring and the brave Frodo Baggins that the One Ring was destroyed forever ... or so we thought. Because the ring has fallen into the hands of a young Texas boy, who was suspended from school for wielding such an accursed tool.
Bryan Cranston Returns as Walter White…For a Super Bowl Commercial
'Breaking Bad' may be completely, definitively over, but that doesn't mean Walter White is ready to leave popular culture alone. Oh, no. As long as Bryan Cranston is alive and as lone as insurance companies are prepared to back dump trucks full of cash up this house, we'll get to see America's favorite meth dealer pop up every so often. So while it's weird to se Cranston play Heisenberg one more time in an Esurance commercial, it's not that surprising.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'American Sniper' Continues Its January Onslaught
In most years, January tends to be the most boring month of the year for the box office. This is where Hollywood typically sends the movies in which it has the least faith. This is the dumping ground, the place where movies go to die so the studios can concentrate on their Oscar campaigns. However, thanks to 'American Sniper,' this January has bucked every trend. It may technically be a 2014 release, but Clint Eastwood's war film has made the first chunk of 2015 interesting, shattering expectations and threatening to become the highest grossing film of last year in only a few weeks.
'SNL' Has a Super Bowl Commercial Parody Designed to Make You Feel Reeeal Bad
Super Bowl commercials are still a big, huge, massive, crazy deal, with major corporations shelling out absurd amounts of money on ads designed to win over the most reliably large and receptive audience in all of televised sports. So of course 'SNL' was going to contribute its own commercial parody to the mix...but man, no one was expecting something this mean, scathing or on-point.
'SNL' and J.K. Simmons Reveal the Alternate Ending For 'Casablanca'
The very nature of 'SNL' requires the show to stay as modern as possible, with many sketches created to directly comment on recent events or current trends. However, the show is often at its absolute best when it values humor over timeliness. We have no idea who decided to write and air a sketch that creates an alternate ending for the timeless Hollywood classic 'Casablanca,' but we want to give them a big ol' hug. This is a real treat for fans of great cinema who also have a sense of humor.
The Muppets Visit the Set of 'The Empire Strikes Back' in Fantastic Behind-the-Scenes Photos
Before he was a CGI creation, Jedi master Yoda was a puppet. Before green screens became the norm, the Dagobah set for 'The Empire Strikes Back' was built elevated off the ground to accommodate Yoda's puppeteers. And before he brought Yoda to life, puppeteer and voice actor Frank Oz was best known as the man behind Miss Piggy. In a weird way, that makes the most wizened character in the 'Star Wars' universe a distant relative of the extended Muppet family.
'Minions' Super Bowl Trailer Features All of the Yellow Nudity You'll Ever Need to See
With the Super Bowl arriving this weekend, every corporation in the world is fighting for your attention, spending ludicrous amounts of cash on tiny advertisements for things that most people already like. The same goes for movies and the biggest sporting event in the United States is no stranger to premiering new trailers and TV spots for massively anticipated films. So, without further ado, let's all take a moment to watch the new ad for 'Minions'.
Hasbro May Be Planning to Make a 'GoBots' Movie
We currently live in a world where society has stopped blinking incredulously at the mere idea of major film franchises based on the dumb toys you used to play with back in the '80s. So, it's not too surprising that Hasbro is apparently examining the possibility of a big screen 'GoBots' revival.
Nicolas Cage Will Hunt Osama bin Laden in an Upcoming Comedy
Nicolas Cage has made a habit of selecting atrocious film roles for the better part of a decade, so it's always a pleasant surprise when he finds himself attached to something that actually sounds promising. Fresh off a Razzie nomination for the quick and dirty paycheck gig that was 'Left Behind,' Cage is set to lead 'Army of One,' a film adaptation of a truly bizarre story about man's hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' Trailer: The Dumbest High Concept in Hollywood History is Back For Another Dip
The original 'Hot Tub Time Machine' feels more like something a group of stoners came up with and giggled about for a few hours than an actual movie. And yet, it exists. And it made enough money to justify a sequel. And that sequel now has a new trailer. Ladies and gentlemen, the 'Hot Tub Time Machine 2' trailer!
Weekend Box Office Report: 'American Sniper' Takes Out 'Blackhat'
A lot of people are going to act like they didn't see the enormous success of 'American Sniper' coming, but the signs were all there. On top of the promising limited release numbers, there was the awards buzz. On top of that, there were the names of director Clint Eastwood and star Bradley Cooper. On top of that, the subject matter of the film is inherently attractive to the same category of moviegoer that makes Christian-themed films into massive hits. 'American Sniper' had one doozy of a weekend, but it's not that surprising.

Bringing Antonio Back
Just heard Antonio say on the radio that he talked to BOB and they both got a really good vibe about Each other. Antonio said he clicked with him pretty fast. Both expressed interest about Antonio coming back. Antonio said his agent has been talking with the Texans and saying positive things about a deal getting done.
How do you guys feel about that?
If a deal gets done does that change your thoughts on the defense Romeo will employ?
I realize that this could all be fluff talk, but Antonio sounded sincere to me and it wasn't one of those generic "well we'll see what happens" kind of answers. He really wants to be back IMO.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I would like to see Antonio back. Given his age, position and performance I think he can be an above average performer for another 3 years. I think Antonio knows if he goes for the highest dollar contract he is likely to not complete it and end up bouncing trying to get to those 3 years so will be very interested in a contract for 3-4 years he believes he can play out - say something in the 3 years, $13.5 mil range and that would be in the Texans best interest as well. But who knows.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I likes me some Smiff... hope he's a fit and the price is right.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I'm ready to move on from the party boy Antonio type.
He's been here for along time. He's very overrated. IMHO
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
He's been one the most consistent players we have had in his time here.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
Consistently overpaid?
Consistently providing the wrong kind of leadership?
Jumping offsides before the Jags hailmary giving the Jags the yds needed to almost throw the ball to the endzone.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I'd like to see a younger cheaper guy but if the price is right a front line of JJ, Ninja, and Clowney would be deadly.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I didn't see average play out the guy. He had some bad coaches to overcome, but he worked hard and played hard.
Could we upgrade him? Sure we could.
But that doesn't change the fact that he's been a good player for us.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
The team has a need for him. Re-signing to a smaller contract is a win/win.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
We need him back, our depth at d-line is not good.
I'm also interested in what happens to Wade Smith, not to derail the thread.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I think Antonio would have to cut off his foot to compare the two.
Meh, I could care less if he is not resigned, if he's kept cheap , alright if not oh we'll. "happy trails good sir"
Your man... Pots and pans
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
I'd love for Antonio to come back at the right price. Maybe something like Cak says.
I think Antonio is a good player to have on your football team. Brings some good attitude to that DLine. Plus he's a vet, and I expect us to be competing again very soon. Grab a real NT, and sign Antonio to a reasonable deal. The less holes come draft time the better.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
Good to have him on board if he's cheap.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
Good compliment across from JJ, high motor guy and might not be a sack artist but is consistently disruptive. Depth at the spot isn't great either but with cak here 2-3 deal could work we'll with both sides.
Re: Bringing Antonio Back
ehhh im with the purge most of the players from the 2-14 Nightmare so I say NO to bringing ninja back
I would say see ya to

Wendy made the decision to go plant-based one month after completing an aggressive chemo/radiation treatment for her Stage 2 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

looking for mid-range vinyl replacement windows in Chicago area
We want to replace 11 double-hungs and one picture window in our house. The current windows are from 1951, so the draftiness and peeling paint have become too much to handle. We decided to look for a mid-range vinyl replacement since we plan to be in the home another 7-10 years. They are doing a lot of tear-downs in this neighborhood (sad), so I'm looking for windows that meet our needs and budget now and not planning that we'll necessarily get a lot of resale value from this project. That said, I'm hoping to get some recommendations on both windows and installers/companies that we might contact. So far, we've spoken to a private installer (uses Alside Ultra Maxx or Excalibur), Illinois Energy (Worthington), Sears (Wincorp), and Champion reps. Seen a lot of complaints on this site for both Alside windows and Sears installation and windows. Illinois Energy seemed to have a good product, but I can't find much info and it seemed pretty expensive (12K) for our house. We just spoke with Champion today, so haven't made up my mind on that yet. Simonton seems to be referred to often here, so we will contact them. I would really love to hear any experience or suggestions. We are new to this process and trying to learn what we can and do it right. Some bad experiences lately with other home projects, so hopefully this will be a good one! I would like a decent quality, good service, decent warranty, and mostly piece of mind with the install. I would also like it if we don't loose a lot of glass with the replacements. Please share your expertise and recommendations!
You have pretty much picked all the worst of the worst so far. Not an insult, just the bad luck of the draw so far.
Best vinyl windows in Chicago area are going to be Soft-Lite, Okna, Gorell, Sunrise, and Simonton...in no particular order.
I would Google "Window4U" He runs a replacement company out of Chicago and has all the best brands at far better prices than you have seen so far.
Here is a link that might be useful: Strong Windows
Windows4U is some little questionnaire where I have to fill in my info and have someone contact me. I'm not looking for that. Doesn't anyone have real suggestions that would be helpful? This forum has so many questions with great info. I was hoping for the same!
Window4U is actually a very good contractor by the name of Dave that runs probably the most well respected window replacement company in Chicago. His phone number is on the website as well.
I suggested several brands in my previous post. The 4 brands that you have looked at so far are average at best and all high pressure sales organizations. You will get long sales pitches that start with vinyl windows costing over 1K per unit and drop as you haggle. That is an exhausting process and especially if you consider that the 4 windows that they would try to sell you are middle of the pack at exorbitant prices.
Try Midwest Windows, they carry Rehau products, the biggest vinyl manufacturer in Europe. Heavy duty windows, german vinyl, good prices. Or a medium duty window - from Chelsea building products, almost as good and cheaper.
Call this number: 773.704.3919
Ask for Steve, he is a construction engineer and glazing contractor for about 10 years in Chicago area.

Wow, good read! One thing mentioned in the article was pursuit policy changes to protect the innocent public. It would also apply in this officers unexpected situation. First, in retrospect I agree his #1 priority would have been to escort his family personally to safety, although I don't fault him for his public off duty actions. It's a tragic shame that little girl died. Most of the time, as in this police officers encounter, it is not known at the time if a horrific action was committed by the criminal. So the question becomes, do they let a murderer or serial killer flee to protect innocent life at the time, and hope the murderer is caught before he/she kills again? What a tragic event and something to think about as a civilian in public places. QUESTION: [COLOR="Black"]Standing in the same line at McDonald's right behind or in front of this same officer, and being privy to hear the same information he did, what would you do, help him? IMO, I would get my pretty little derrière immediately out of there. Thoughts?

The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
Wow, when I read about the little girl my heart sank. I can only imagine how that would make me feel if I had been the one in this situation. Yes, it's tragic, but you can't start play the what if game. You never win at the what if game. I agree that I would have made sure that the customer were out before I headed to the back.
First post on the forms. Hi guys.
Reading stuff like this really shows how huge of a responsibility ccw is, realistically I don't now how I would react in a situation like that. it's one thing to sit behind a key board and say what'd you do, or be in a classroom and talk about what you would do. Whole different story when it's in your face.
I'm getting my ccw very soon, just waiting for the card to come in the mail now, reading stuff like this and hearing various people stories is a great help.
Glad I found this forum.

Category: Crocus Sativus L.
Best quality of French Saffron bulbs
Origin: Brittany in France
Diameter: more than 2,5 cm, 8+, ready to flower.
To plant before end of August.

If you are interested, for more information do not hesitate to contact me.
My name is Loïc.
Dear Sir,
My name is Slavcho Yovchev and I am from Bulgaria. I have a garden with area of 5 acres. After the study considered that change in the area and soil composition suitable for cultivation of saffron. Can you help me with advice on farming technology? Do you still bulbs and at what price they sell?

Boulder Junction Public Library "Art in the Library" Exhibit
The Boulder Junction Public Library welcomes the public to view their second "Art in the Library" exhibit. The selected artwork will be on display in the library from January 5, 2015 through March 31, 2015 during regular library hours.
The Boulder Junction Public Library Art Committee and Board of Trustees selected two artists for this exhibit. The work of artist, Elinore Sommerfeld, will be on display in the library reading room and above the photocopier. The work of Susan Klein will be on display above the children's computer workstations.
The library is also accepting applications for the next Art in the Library exhibit. The selected artwork will be on display in the library from April 6-June 30, 2015. The application deadline is February 27, 2015.
The selection of artwork for exhibit will be recommended by the Art Committee and approved by the Library Board of Trustees. The Art Committee will be reviewing artwork exhibition applications using selection criteria detailed in the library's Artwork Policy. The library is committed to exhibiting the work of artists who have significant ties to the Boulder Junction and Northwoods area. Accordingly, each exhibiting artist must currently be working in the Northwoods area or have spent a significant portion of his/her career in the Northwoods area. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Art Committee. The library is committed to exhibiting works of art that are of high artistic quality and that reflect original concepts. The works of art should engage the community by inspiring reflection, questions and/or conversation.
Mindful of the public nature of the library facility and the library's inability to consistently monitor its exhibit space, the Art Committee will consider: appropriateness of scale and design for the library's exhibit space, fragility and/or susceptibility to damage, likelihood of vandalism, any potential risk to the public, and costs associated with the installation of the exhibition. The library does not insure any artwork that is loaned to the library for temporary exhibit. Exhibiting artists must agree to the terms set forth in the library's Exhibition Contract.
