Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
PUB hears arguments against Hydro rate increase
Manitoba's Public Utilities Board should reject Manitoba Hydro's request for a 3.5 per cent rate request because it's too rich for today's times.
The three-member PUB panel was also told today that the Crown Utility should put more effort into a robust energy efficiency program to get Manitobans to cut back on their power consumption so that more electricity can be shipped to the United States for sale.
Hydro presentation
Read Manitoba Hydro's presentation to the Public Utilities Board about the increase (1.22 MB .PDF)
The Green Action Centre, Manitoba Branch of the Canadian Consumers' Association of Canada and the Manitoba Industrial Power Users Group (MIPUG) each made presentations today. Final arguments continue Wednesday.
Manitoba Hydro wants the PUB to approve the 3.5 per cent general rate increase effective April 1 to put more money into its back account ($197 million) as it prepares to build the $3.820 billion Bipole III transmission line — an environmental hearing for the project resumes March 4 — and the Keeyask and Conapawa generating stations, estimated to cost $6.220 billion and $10.192 billion respectively.
Manitoba Hydro is also asking for final approval of earlier interim increases approved by the PUB, including a two per cent increase effective April 1, 2012 and a 2.5 per cent increase effective Sept. 1, 2012.
Hydro says even with the increase and past increases over the past year, totaling 5.5 per cent, Manitobans pay the lowest for power in North America.
Included in Hydro's request is for the PUB to release a $23-million pot of money that was created when the PUB ordered a one per cent rate claw back two years ago.
Manitoba Branch of the Canadian Consumers' Association of Canada says that money rightfully belongs to rate payers and should be rebated. It also said Manitoba Hydro could also apply to have a portion of that money, but only if it uses it towards improving its energy efficiency programs.
The consumers' association also says Hydro has not made a strong enough case for the 3.5 per cent increase, especially at a time when its retained earnings sit at a record $2.510 billion.
The Green Action Centre, on the other hand, supports the 3.5 per cent increase because of the recent hit the utility has taken on the export market and lower forecasted surplus power sales.
On Friday, Hydro released its third quarter results which showed it had a posted a net loss of $38 million for the first nine months of the fiscal year. Last year, it earned profits of $29 million during the same period.
The Green Action Centre also said it supported a $41-million annual expenditure by Hydro over the next three years to support its efficiency programs.
That might not be a bad idea.
A recent report by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy found spending on energy efficiency upgrades puts more money into the economy than building new infrastructure for energy production.
MIPUG, which represents the biggest industrial consumers of electricity in the province, told the PUB it should reject the 3.5 per cent rate increase request as Hydro had not justified its need for the money above the total 5.5 per cent increase the PUB has already approved under the earlier rate requests made by Hydro.
It also called on the PUB to refund or credit to customers the $23 million sitting in a deferral account under the one per cent rate rollback.
"The 5.5 per cent increase over two years exceeds inflation, which is problematic for customers, but does lead to a predictable transition to the higher rates that may ultimately be required over the coming decade," MIPUG said in its submission.
At the beginning of Hydro's 3.5 per cent rate application, it signaled that it wants increases of 3.95 per cent in each of the remaining 18 years of its 20-year financial forecast.

I have been looking t quite a few town & countries but when I found this one, I had to investigate. I was met by Clay Moss and he showed my and my wife around the facilities and several vehicles. It was my most enjoyable experience in car buying and I'm 82 years old so I do have some experiences with car buying. Clay was very nice and informative young man and no pressure was applied to get a sale. I will be back.

The Domestic Energy Producers Alliance is a nationwide collaboration of 15 coalition associations from California to West Virginia, Texas to Montana representing about 10,000 individuals and companies engaged in domestic onshore oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P). We believe in seeking common ground, and in common sense solutions to the challenges that face us in our businesses, including our relationship with the federal legislative and executive branches of government. In only its fifth year, DEPA now represents a majority of the individuals and companies responsible for the current renaissance in American oil and natural gas production.
Washington, DC-based Brookings Institute published a new report September 9 in favor of lifting current US restrictions on the export of crude oil. The report [view] comes to the conclusion that discontinuing the export ban would help lower US gasoline prices for consumers, increase profits for producers and encourage more production on US soil - all of which are good for continued economic growth and productivity and American energy security.
In politics, as in life, it is important to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
DEPA's agenda right now is a classic example of this.
The dramatic increase in US oil production has produced tremendous benefits for Americans. The federal government, however, has constrained many of those benefits by limiting the ability to export crude oil.
The law that prohibits the export of crude oil from the US was passed by Congress in the 1970s during a time of crude oil shortages, rising prices and even lines to purchase gasoline. A majority of Congress believed that it was wrong to allow the export of crude oil when there are shortages and lines at gas stations at home.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries doesnt like Oklahoma. The worldwide oil cartel doesnt care much for Texas or North Dakota either, or Ohio, Pennsylvania, California and New Mexico.
Those states hold significant shale oil and natural gas reserves, and the increased production of American oil has jeopardized the economic well-being of the oil-producing countries that make up OPEC.
Today we received some very disappointing news in our landmark Endangered Species Act lawsuit against the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Despite recent orders issued by the Northern District of Oklahoma and even the DC District Court declaring that Tulsa was the proper venue for DEPAs lawsuit, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL Panel) had the final word and issued a brief order ignoring the recent district court decisions and transferred our case to Washington DC. After nearly a year, our venue battle has ended. Our case now goes to the very same judge who rubber-stamped the secret settlements between FWS and two environmental groups in 2011.

The BOB Revolution Flex stroller rolls smoothly, steers on a dime, and will last from newborn through preschool. The BOB Revolution Flex is designed for parents who love to get out and explore, without being too big for everyday use.
The Revolution Flex adds an adjustable handlebar for parents' pushing comfort; along with fun new fabric colors. Otherwise, there is no difference between the Revolution Flex and the Revolution SE.
The BOB Revolution Flex will be a best fit for parents who may take a nature trail one day, go to a farmer's market the next, hit the mall one evening, and spend all weekend at a theme park. At only 25" wide, it is narrow enough to maneuver in a crowd or supermarket aisle.
For parents who intend to do a ton of walking or jogging with their stroller, there aren't many good options and BOB Revolution Flex leads the pack. It has a 12" front swivel wheel that can lock into the straight position, and that combines with big 16" rear wheels to roll over obstacles and make pushing a dream.
The BOB Revolution Flex makes steering AND pushing effortless, even with a full load of child and storage. With the bigger rear tires, the BOB Revolution Flex handles grass, dirt, uneven pavement, snow and sand better than most other swivel-wheel strollers.
And while outdoors, BOB stroller sun canopies are among the most generous available on all-terrain strollers.
For using with an infant seat, you'll need the optional infant seat adapter. The Revolution Flex stroller can accommodate the most popular infant car seats including: Britax, Graco, Chicco, and Peg Perego.
For more extreme weather use, the BOB Revolution Flex's wheels have sealed ball bearings and the wheel material is a very durable black polymer plastic. This means that the wheels won't corrode over time, and there's very little chance any sand or grit will get into the wheel bearing to slow you down.
There are no changes to the 2015 model, so it is designated as a 2014/2015 model and may have been manufactured in either year.

The quilts featured on this site have never been made. No stash has been harmed in the process.
This site is a chance to show the un-used and un-seen designs to others, and occasionally share designs by making some EQ6 project files available by email on request.
Please note that my only association with the Electric Quilt Company is as a very satisfied customer.
I prefer to be in a tag free zone and award free area. I am just happy to know you came for a look.

EQ Album OP 7
Seriously stunning! I am loving the contrast between this series and the EQ Album and EQ Album + series. Just placing the blocks on point would have created some interesting layouts. Changing the fabrics too …. whole new ball game.

EQ on Point 18
Mmmm! I think I should have repeated the centre block somewhere. (It is the same as the block each side and above and below it, but the colouring makes it rather different.)

Evergreen Viburnums in the Landscape
Trying to design a pretty screen for one side of our backyard (from the neighbors)...about 75' long. Along 2 of the existing sides there are forsythia bushes that were planted before we moved in...they're fine I guess but I feel like we need something with evergreen qualities along this other side - which never had anything. Right now we have a white 4-5' fence. I was thinking about mixing some evergreen viburnums against it but don't have any experience w/them at all. I've heard that V.pragense and V.rhapidophyllum both hold their leaves during the winter but can't say I've ever seen them. Can someone tell me what they look like during the winters - if they're ratty? Are they worth it or should we not invest in broad leaf evergreens there? (The area gets a lot of sun btw) I'd appreciate any feedback (or suggestions) you can give me. Thx much!
I was just out in Idaho and saw some V. rhytidophyllum out there on the University campus. It looks very nice. They call it leather leaf viburnum. It has a dark olive drap color leaf that is almost a dark mustard on the underside. It is not shiny on eitherside.It is a nice form from those that I have seen. I've never seen it up my way, but if it survives north Idaho (that one is at least 27 years old that I know of), it would easily survive here and where you are.
Go to google maps and type in the following address:
894 s. rayburn street, moscow, id
(it is the library at the U of Idaho not a residence). As you turn the view, look for three evergreen shrubs along a tan colored concrete wall. I believe that those are among the V. Rhytidophyllums that I saw.
I have 5 Prague viburnums in various places in my yard, I like em! They do hold up well through the winter. However, deer will browse them (which is why I only have them in the backyard which is fenced), and some years rabbits/rodents may gnaw the bark, killing off a branch or 2. Prague can easily get 8-10 feet tall and wide. The other thing to note that in real cold temps, the leaves will curl up like a rhodie, but they will uncurl again as soon as the cold snap passes. Very tolerant of pruning now and then to encourage bushiness or you can take it nearly to the ground if it gets really out of hand or damaged.
I like mixed shrub borders for the very reason toronado 3800 noted. It's unlikely that EVERYTHING would die in a mixed shrub border. Evergreen viburnums are awesome...but so are other things. I don't know the plants in your zone well enough to suggest specific cultivars, but your local garden center (NOT a big box) should be able to come up with some great suggestions.

A wonderful night of dramatic theatre. Well directed and well acted across the board. Go see this show!

This production was exceptional and as good as anything you would see at the Ahmanson or Segerstrom. The entire cast was outstanding. I strongly recommend you catch this last weekend of the run of a wonderful classic. It is not to be missed.

Long Day's Journey Into Night makes for a long night of theater. I enjoyed the production. Good actors. Intimate venue. It's simply a depressing play!
star this review starred report as inappropriate
I can't fault the Maverick for putting on such a depressing and long play because the acting and staging were excellent, as always. I just can't recommend this production unless you are a huge fan of long, sad dramas.
This show is intended for ages 13 and up.

An Opening in Burma? On Thant Myint-U
In the 1950s and early '60s, newly independent Burma briefly seemed like a potential success story. It had abundant natural resources and an educated middle class. Even today, despite years of grinding poverty, it remains a society of bibliophiles: the bookstalls in central Rangoon, selling tattered copies of old Penguin classics, attract far more interest than similar stalls in wealthier neighbors like Thailand. In the 1950s the World Bank considered Burma one of the countries in East Asia most likely to thrive. But after the military takeover in 1962, paranoid dictator Ne Win imposed what he called the Burmese Way to Socialism. Almost all industry was nationalized. Many foreigners were thrown out, and visitors were permitted entry only on short-term transit visas. "Rangoon in those days—in the late 1970s and early 1980s—seemed entirely cut off from the late twentieth century," Thant Myint-U recalls. "There were few telephones or cars on the streets, almost no television…o supermarkets or modern shops of any kind…. Rangoon was like a big empty movie set." Ne Win's rule had destroyed the economy. Inflation soared, and millions of Burmese fled the country, with many taking jobs as house cleaners or unregistered factory laborers in Thailand. Fearing that schools were becoming gathering places for protest movements, the Burmese regime closed most of the universities for years.
In 1988 a deteriorating economy and rising inflation sparked massive popular protests. Ne Win officially stepped down, and after the brief jubilation of the 1990 victory, Burmese politics turned dark again. Suu Kyi was back under house arrest, then released briefly in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, and then jailed again. The NLD stagnated under enormous repression, with many of its frontline members jailed or exiled, and its leaders aging. News of Suu Kyi and her party disappeared from the state press. When I visited the organization's dilapidated headquarters in Rangoon several years ago, I found only elderly men in faded but carefully creased longyis sitting around a few battered tables. On University Avenue, where Suu Kyi's lakeside house is located, stony-faced army officers immediately turned me away.
Also in the early 2000s, international aid organizations trying to work in Burma often found their efforts stymied, with the government either skimming much of their assistance or refusing to give Western aid workers access to populations in need. Mobile phones were essentially banned; the regime made them so expensive that only a few rich people and government insiders could buy them. The Internet was available only in a few large cities, and even then was heavily filtered and monitored.
But in the past five years, the isolation has begun to crack. In the sections of Where China Meets India devoted to Burma, Thant Myint-U captures well a country warily but determinedly opening up to the world. In Ruili, along the Burma–China border, he finds a prosperous, modern town. In the 1990s and early 2000s, when I visited it, Ruili had become infamous in both Burma and China as a destitute, wild place full of underground casinos, prostitution, heroin and AIDS. Emaciated addicts lay sprawled in alleyways, and shops sold little other than basic necessities and illicit jade. Today Thant Myint-U finds Ruili, on both sides of the border, almost sedate: well-to-do Burmese traders stroll streets lined with palms and upscale storefronts displaying DVD players and golf clubs. Chinese tourists pose for photographs in Ruili's central square, or hunt for karaoke bars rather than a heroin fix.
This growth and cautious change is apparent in Burma's largest cities as well. Mandalay, the second city and the last seat of Burma's monarchy, was until recently a forlorn town. The generals had built an ugly concrete replica of the old walled royal palace, but it attracted few visitors, and the decrepit shops along many streets stocked goods coated in the dust of the long hot season. But today, central Mandalay looks more like Beijing. Massive indoor shopping malls dominate the central skyline, surrounded by new hotels and coffee shops catering to Chinese businessmen and upscale young Burmese. Late-model sedans and new pickups jostle for space on increasingly crowded roads.
Though the regime had begun to abandon the Burmese Way to Socialism in the 1990s, in recent years it has stepped up the pace of liberalization. Last year it privatized many creaking industries. Some of these state assets were delivered into the hands of a small group of regime cronies and family members; one former American diplomat with long experience in Burma said that rather than a military regime, the country is becoming a kind of "mafia state" with tycoons similar to the oligarchs of post-Soviet Russia. In a country with a per capita income of less than $3,000 at purchasing power parity, these nouveau riche cruise around Mandalay and Rangoon in tricked-up SUVs with tinted windows. Burma's richest man, a tycoon named Tay Za who has close links to the regime, controls a fortune worth at least $1 billion and treats visitors to displays of his many luxury cars.
Still, the economic changes have also slowly opened up space for ordinary Burmese entrepreneurs, some of whom have been able to piggyback on the Chinese and Indian capital entering the country. According to several estimates, as many as 1 million Chinese migrants have moved to the area around Mandalay in the past ten years, and the number appears to be growing by the day. With Burma's banks completely unreliable, Burmese businesspeople, as well as Chinese migrants, have turned to informal Chinese lenders for cash. Chinese and Indian businesspeople can provide skills and training unavailable in Burma; new Chinese-run supermarkets and electronics stores are bringing to the country a range of products unavailable just five years ago. Chinese tourists are flocking not only to Ruili but also to the cities of central Burma, and in the future the country's long, pristine coastlines could become beach resorts. Though Burma's official economic statistics are notoriously exaggerated, they do reflect a general trend of solid, sustained growth. Burma's currency, the kyat, was once so worthless that shopkeepers preferred to trade for food, soap or other goods. It is now gaining in value against the US dollar. This past year, Burma received some $20 billion in foreign investment, according to reports in the Diplomat, a leading Asia publication.
This economic opening appears to have carried over into politics. Perhaps recognizing that they need to allow some degree of political openness in order to create the stability that even Chinese and Thai investors desire, Burma's generals have retreated over the past year. In November 2010 the government held a national election for a new Parliament, the first since the annulled 1990 election. Though the election was hardly free and fair—army-backed parties enjoyed enormous advantages, and Suu Kyi's repressed NLD chose not to contest the election—it was not a complete disaster. A small group of democratic-minded politicians, who had broken away from the NLD, won seats in Parliament and have offered genuine parliamentary criticism of the government for the first time in decades. The generals officially stepped into the background, and a civilian government, led by a potentially reformist former general named Thein Sein, took over governing. Thein Sein enlisted the aid of a close ally of Suu Kyi, and he called on all Burmese exiles—many of whom had fled because of political repression—to return to the country for a new, more open era. Thein Sein even admitted that Burma had fallen badly behind its Asian neighbors, a tacit signal of his belief that years of military rule had been disastrous.
In recent months the pace of reform in Burma has sped up rapidly, shocking even longtime observers, and making some wonder whether the country has finally reached its moment of real democratization, and whether Thein Sein is a Southeast Asian F.W. de Klerk. Released from house arrest in the days after the election, Suu Kyi met with Thein Sein and has since launched a dialogue with the government. Even many ardent human rights activists say that this appears to be the most optimistic time in Burma since at least 1990. Suu Kyi began traveling around the country. The opposition leader gave an interview to the Burmese press for the first time in decades; the publication, a news journal, quickly sold out. She has since been appearing regularly in the local press, and vendors on the streets of Rangoon and other cities sell photographs and other memorabilia showing Suu Kyi's face, which just a few years ago would have landed them in jail. Publications not focusing on politics have increasingly been able to go to press without running their articles by censors. The government has invited officials from the International Monetary Fund and other big Western donors to come to Burma and offer suggestions for reforms. It has established a national human rights body. This past autumn, the Burmese censorship chief proposed that all censorship be lifted. Burmese officials invited Suu Kyi to attend the annual national ceremony of Martyrs' Day on July 19, commemorating the assassination of leaders of Burma's independence movement. Most notably, in October the government announced an amnesty for more than 6,000 prisoners, including approximately 200 accused of political crimes. It was the most substantial amnesty in years; the government also said that it was ready to work with Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy. Suu Kyi has declared herself satisfied with her talks with the government, and seems extremely optimistic about Burma's future. She has publicly stated that she believes Thein Sein is sincere about his desire for reform. Freed again to enter politics, Suu Kyi says she plans to run in the next parliamentary by-elections, which she will surely win; a victory would put her in Parliament for the first time, the equivalent of Nelson Mandela going straight from Robben Island to a seat in the center of power.

Reviews For Georgia Boots G6152
This Product:
Georgia Boots: Men's G6152 Barracuda Gold Leather Wedge Work Boots
The first thing I noticed upon opening the box was the color, a warm "honey brown" which looks quite attractive with jeans and with khakis. The leather feels impressively thick and supple to the touch. Yay SPR!
Further examination revealed fabric lining inside around the toe and instep, and a padded insole and padded tongue, both covered with breathable moisture-absorbing material. The portion surrounding the ankle is unlined. A nylon pull strap is firmly attached behind the ankle. The wedge sole is of a neutral khaki color, and has the words "Georgia Boot" and "Oil Resistant" molded on the bottom, along with a shallow chevron tread pattern. Although soft, the sole appears intended to wear a long time, with a generous 5/8" thickness under the ball of the foot, increasing to slightly over 1" under the heel. If the soles ever do wear out, they are replaceable by any competent cobbler.
The laces are quite thick, and woven with alternating dark brown and light brown bands, reminding me of an attractive pattern seen on some snakes. They thread through four sets of brass eyelets, and one set of brass "speed hooks".
Trying the boots on gives a very good first impression of comfort. I can't remember the last time any shoe or boot felt this good "out of the box". The fit is good around the arch and heel, and roomy up front, with space to wiggle ones toes. They fit well with hiking socks, such as Thorlo, SmartWool, or Wigwam.
I immediately went outside and mowed a large portion of my back yard, taking about an hour. I proceeded to wear the boots until retiring for bed. Over the next two days, I wore them all day while running errands, mowing the rest of the yard, working on the car in the driveway, and other tasks. No pinching, chafing or discomfort of any kind was experienced. As Steve Martin used to say in one of his standup routines, "I've got.....HAPPY FEET!"
Walking on hard surfaces, the heel can be felt to compress a little, as well as the insole, absorbing almost all shock which might otherwise reach the foot. In addition to no shock, there is almost no sound generated by the action of walking. One just strolls along in almost total silence. Perhaps these would be a good choice for a private investigator engaged in stealthy surveillance?
I think Georgia could sell a great many more of these if they offered them in additional colors, perhaps a darker brown, and/or black, and market them as an "urban" boot, rather than only a farm and ranch workboot. Overall, their styling is very similar to the 6" Dr. Martens 0939, both having a similar texture on the leather and cushy outer soles which absorb shock.
I am also a former Dr. Martens owner, and wore the same pair of D.M.s for several years. While not intending to "bash" Dr. Martens, I will say that I find the Georgia boot to offer superior comfort. Some advantages which I feel the Georgia boot offers over the D.M. include:
1) Georgia boot SPR leather is softer to start with, no break in required.
2) Georgia boot has padded insole, D.M doesn't (in styles 1460 and 0939).
3) Georgia boot fits better according to marked sizes, and is available in half-sizes, D.M. isn't. If you need a half-size in a Doc, you must buy the next full size larger, and then purchase an insole or wear extra-thick socks, or even two pairs of socks (actual recommendations by a clerk in a Doc Marten-only shoe store in Oak Park, Illinois).
4) Georgia boot is resoleable locally, D.M. isn't.
In sum, the Georgia 6" SPR boot offers excellent quality workmanship, a high standard of comfort, and, in my opinion, good looks. While sold primarily as a work boot, they are also great for casual wear with jeans or khakis. They COULD be the only boots you need to own.

About the Ticket Supplier: Sacramento Philharmonic OrchestraThe Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra is more than the 83 musicians and Music Director, Michael Morgan, seen on stage.
Their family includes a dedicated board of directors and a host of staff members, volunteers, donors and organizations that have banded together to preserve and promote great classical music in the Sacramento region.
Indeed, with partnerships with the Sacramento Opera and the Sacramento Ballet; support from the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra Foundation (formerly the Sacramento Symphony Foundation) and the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission; and strong relationships with the Sacramento Philharmonic League (formerly the Sacramento Symphony League) and other organizations, it is no wonder that the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra has been widely acknowledged as the "successor" to the old Sacramento Symphony.

Chapter 1.
Started off as a trip.Ended in disaster
"b**** are you ready yet" Zonnique yelled from the bottom of the stairs."Hold on hoe i'm still packing s***" i said throwing clothes into my suit case.About 5 minutes later she came barging into my room and flopped onto my bed."are you sure about this"she asked scrolling through her phone."yeah why not...it'll be exciting"i said getting hype just thinking about it."but why poveglia why not just go to a haunted house on Halloween or something"she asked with a hint of fear.I just shook my head it was just like her to try to punk out at the last minute."don't tell me you not trying to go now heifer hell no not after i purchased your ticket"i said getting aggravated."i'm just saying i know you heard the stories about that place"she said now looking directly at me.I stopped what i was doing and sat next to her giving her full eye contact."Zonni that's just it...there just stories just like the boogieman...don't worry you'll see"i said taking her hands into mines."okay if you say so hoe...but just in case some s*** goes down don't run off on me and leave me for dead hoe...i'll come back and haunt your ass for the remainder of your life"she said jokingly."yeah yeah yeah"i said throwing a pillow at her.
It was another hour till we was both packed and headed out the door when my phone ran."hello"i sung."hey babe where you at"my boyfriend Tyler asked."Me and Zonni are on our way to come get you now"i said jumping into the car."iight so just call me when your out front"he said as he than hung up."what did chicken legs want"asked zonni as she climbed into the driver's seat."to see where we at and dont be talking about my man you toothless hag"i said as i then gave her a wet willie."ugh!"she said swatting my hand away "i swear you still act like a big ass kid"she said as she started to pull out the driveway."well i am still the baby"i said giving her my cheesiest smile.she just rolled her eyes and turned the radio up as we headed over to pick up Tyler & Ana.
Another hour had passed when we finally pulled up in front of their house."you want me to honk or you going to go knock"Zonni asked while adjusting her makeup in the mirror."i'm calling trick"i said pulling out my phone.I dialed his number and waited for him to answer.after three rings he finally picked up."yurr"he said."ew that is not how you answer the phone when you talking to me"i said screwing up my face.He just laughed."we're out front" i said."iight"he replied as he than hung up.2 minutes later him and Ana appeared at the door."nigga get my bags"she yelled smacking him in the back of the head"."what the f*** you think this is"he asked her rubbing his head.she turned around and mushed him in the face and said "you heard me now chop chop get to it"she said as she then strolled over to the car."hheeeeeyyyy girlies"Ana yelled as she climbed into the back.we both laughed and said hey back."why you always treating my boo like that"i asked as i watched him struggle with their bags."cause he be actting like he dont know who the mf' boss is"she said popping her invisble collar.zonni just shook her head and laughed."i'm going to go help him...tsk tsk poor child"i said as i got out.I walked up to tyler as he dropped the bags and opened his arms to hug me."hey babe"he said as he then pecked me on the cheek."Hey..you need some help"i asked trying to hold in my laugh.he sighed and said "yeah".we both grabbed 3 bags each and walked over to the car."why you be letting Ana punk you like that"i asked him smilng."who said she be punking me ....i'm a G i run things i just let her think she do"he said fixing his clothes."suureeee"i said as i threw in the last bag and closed the trunk.We both got into the car when Ana said "your weak punk ass" as she then smacked tyler in the back of the head again."b**** you got one more time to ..."he started to say till she cut him off getting in his face"who the f*** are you calling a b**** b****".He sucked his teeth and moved over closer to the window folded his arms and rolled his eyes."yeah i thought so"she said eyeing him.Me and Zonni busted out laughing while shaking our heads.This was going to be one hell of a trip.

It was 3 am when we heard pots being banged together.We all scrambled out our tents."what the hell"ana yelled looking like a wild woman with messed up hair wearing nothing but one of trey's shirts."ewww what we're ya'll doing"giggled amber."shutup"ana said throwing a pebble at her."rise and shine"cleondra said with lexi standing next to her with the pots."what the hell you mean raise and shine its only 3 in the goddamn morning"said micheal rubbing his eyes."we know but if you want to experience poveglia 3 am is the perfect time"lexi said putting the pots away."well do we have a choice"na'shaee asked with an attuide."nope"cleondra said with a smirk.We all either grunted or sighed loudly."now get dressed so we can get moving"cleondra said.we all went back into our tents and threw on some clothes.we all gathered outside our tents within 20 minutes."now here are some flashlights we'll take you to a certain point explain the history and then split you up into two and you'll explore that area"lexi said passing us each a flashlights."do we get to pick who we want to go with"asked tami."no now follow us"lexi said .we all grunted and sighed again and began to followed them into the dark woods.

nonchantly."so you dont think we should go look for them"sofia said yelling."there they go"lexi said.micheal and nashaee walked over to the group slowly covered in blood with zonni in micheal's arms."what happened" i asked looking at my sister who was wide eyed covered in blood as well gasping for air with half her neck bite off.nashaee and micheal just stood there shaking covered with blood staring off in a daze....
Chapter 2.
The silent warning
We Landed in Italy 2 pm and caught the boat over to the island around 3.We were now standing on Poveglia facing our guide."hello my name is Lexi ,i'll be your guide while visting with me i have a local Cleondra who will explain some of the island's history".She stepped aside and allowed Cleondra to speak."well Poveglia first came to be when people from Padua and Este fled there to escape the barbaric invasions.1379 Venice came under attack from the Genoan fleet; the people of Poveglia were moved to the Giudecca, and the Venetian government built on the island a permanent fortification, called "the Octagon," still visible today"she said pointing it out."umm....excuse me this little history stuff is cute and all but that's get to the real point here"Danyell said.Cleondra smirked a little and said "ok fine,when the Romans decided the best thing for society was to round up all the plague victims of the era, and stick them somewhere. That somewhere happened to be here.
Several thousand people were gathered and quarantined on the island, where they died together.When the plague got worse, they lowered Poveglia's requirements from "plague sufferers" to "anybody with any sign of sickness at all." They also changed their policy of "let the infected die peacefully" to "throw them in a large pit
and set them on fire.Estimates put the death toll at 160,000 on the island, where charred bones still wash up on shore."Danyell sighed loudly as i elbowed her in her side."is there a problem"Lexi asked."No"i said as Danyell said "yes".Lexi raised her eyebrow as if to say "explain".""you little local here"danyell started pointing to Cleondra "is taking to damn long to get to the point"."and what point might that just be"Cleondra asked smirking again."the fact that in 1922, a mental hospital with a bell tower was built on the island and according to legend, this particular hospital featured a doctor who routinely experimented on his patients with such things as lobotomies performed with a hammer and chisel.As the legend goes, the doctor tortured his patients in the bell tower, and ignored their cries that they heard and saw the ghosts of plague victims.The doctor was then supposedly thrown off the tower by the ghosts of plague victims and, while in the dirt struggling to stay alive, was "strangled by a mist that arose from the ground. Though the bell in the tower was removed decades ago, locals still claim to hear its chimes echo " Danyell said in a knowing matter.Cleondra clapped sarcastically and said"well what am i here for"."yeo just chill homie"sofia said."since you know it all you must know of the rumors of the ghosts of both the plagued and mental patients as well the the doctor and some of his staff still roam this island"cleondra said folding her arms."what"Bert said looking back and forth between Danyell and Cleondra "wait a minute wait a minute what did she just say"bert asked the rest of us."man calm down"jamie said putting his hand on bert;s shoulder."nah f*** that i ain't dieing i watch horror movies i'm black and i'm short cant run that good hell no"bert said knocking his hand away.we all laughed at that moment."baby just relax we'll be fine there just rumors"amber said shaking her head."you know what fine i hope we all die"bert said finally giving up."well if you'll all just follow me we can be on our way"lexi said as she started to make her way towards camping grounds.
we were walking through a bunch of bushes and trees when suddenly i felt sick and my nose started to burn like i smelled smoke."Does anyone else smell that.the girls said yeah while the guys said no.Lexi and Cleondra gave each other a knowing glance and thought no one had caught on to it as they once began walking again."bet she dont do you like me"na'shaee whispered to jamie."would you just shut the hell up"he said rolling his eyes.Tami looked back at Na'shaee and grilled her."is there a problem"she asked batting her eyes."yeah there is when you speaking to my man"Tami said."girl please"na'shaee said as she laughed and put her hand in Tami's face as she walked pass her.Tami c**ked back her arm ready to punch Na'shaee in the back of the head when Trey grabed her arm."chillax lil mama"he said laughing."she tapping dancing on my last nerve home girl dont know me"tami said smashing her fist into her palm."oh snap we got another lil G"tyler said grinning."nothing bout my G little homie"Tami said as we all laughed."we're almost there"Cleondra said turning her head towards us."we need to be there now..s*** all these goddamn bugs"Lucien said swatting away invisible bugs."your bugging out babe"sofia said shaking her head smiling."am i really"he asked as he slapped his arm then looking to see a dead mosquito.
the guys were sitting around in their folding chairs drinking and being loud.Na'shaee was somewhere being Na'shaee."i mean i'm not the only one who felt it right"i asked looking at my friends who were huddled around the fire with me."nah your not"nicole said looking around at our surroundings."damn it kiana ....what you gets us into"amber said shaking her head."i didn't do anything and as far as any of us knows it could just be our nerves"i said shrugging off her comment."yeah okay you say that now but don't come looking for me to save your ass when your being chased down by something"nana said.I rolled my eyes and shook my head and said"fine be like that hoe"."i'll tell you one thing"zonni said."what"the rest of us asked."i know one person i defiantly won't be risking my life for"she said as she turned and looked at Na'shaee who stopped and gave us all the finger then headed to her tent."oooooooohhhhhhhh that girl just makes me wanna whop her ass"amber said.we all laughed."What the deal with her and jamie"Tami asked.we all looked at each other with a worried looked."i think you should ask jamie to explain that one him self cause to this day i still don't get it"sofia said shaking her head.we all continued to talk and laugh the rest of the night but the whole time i couldn't shake the feeling of someone or something evil lurking near by watching us ........
"i know you didn't invite that hoe"ana yelled standing up looking directly at someone causing us to turn around and see Na'shaee who was grinning while waving at us and Micheal who seemed to want to disappear at that very moment."welll......"i said shrugging."well nothing you know none of us like that skeet bag"sofia said rolling her eyes at Na'shaee as they made their way over to us."i know i know but please guys can we call just get along"i said trying to plead with them."oh somebody gonna get along just well....my fist & that b**** face"nicole said getting ready to stand up."yeo chill"lucien said pushing her back down in her seat."hey everyone"na'shaee said with the cheesiest smile."hi'i said while Zonni,Nicole,Sofia,and Ana just mean mugged her."hey trey"Na'shaee said looking directly at him."he..."he started to say before ana shot him the look of death."okay be that way"na'shaee said taking a seat."sup micheal"tyler said as mike gave him,trey,and lucien dap."nothing much just ant to get away for awhile you know"he said plopping down into a seat."i don't know what kind of get away you had in mind then cause this is not gonna be fun"sofia said laughing and shaking her head.I just rolled my eyes and sat back in my seat.
Another 20 minutes and i spotted another friend of ours."yeoo baby"i yelled.as she grinned and made her way over."hey boos" Amber said as she gave all us girls hugs."wheres Jamie his guest and Bert"i said."oh"she responded as she turn around to look for them "somewhere back there i guess"she said waving it off as she sat down."so...wass....oh heeeellllll no"she said getting up as she finally noticed Na'shaee."hello to you too b****"na'shaee rolling her eyes.Amber laughed and said "oh somebody better get her....cause if you don't i will" as she jumped toward na'shaee making her flinch.nicole and ana laughed and gap amber dap.tyler just shook his head and said "that's yo friends".2 minutes later Bert and Jamie walked over to us with some girl trailing behind them."hey guys"i said giving them hugs and eyeing home girl suspiciously."oh s*** oreo"tyler said cracking up while giving bert dap."you know whatever laugh all you want don't be mad at me because i take the time out to say my words because i know how to annunciate b****"he said stepping over some of our bags to get a seat."pay them no mind baby they just some haters"amber said pecking his cheek."i know they are and that's all they ever going to be but it's cool"he said trying to cross his legs but couldn't cause of his jeans.we all laughed until Na'shaee took it upon her self to say"why hello to you to jamie".He just looked at her disgusted and roll his eyes."now now is that anyway to treat your ex....the mother of your child"she said smirking."somebody better get her"amber said shaking her leg."ANYWAYS!"Ana said changing the subject "whose this jay"she asked smiling at the girl."oh this is my babe Tami "he said smiling."hey"she finally said still looking a bit uncomfortable."girl relax we all cool we don't bite"lucian said."micheal do"nicole said.as we busted out laughing knowing what she was talking about."shut up"micheal said throwing a skittle at her head getting it caught in her hair."oh hell nah you done got me f***ed up "nicole said shaking her hair out trying to get the skittle to fall out causing us to laugh harder.
"boarding will start in 20 minutes"was the announcement over the speakers."so babe wheres this friend of yours"tyler asked while kicking the back of ana chair."should be here any moment"i said laying my head on his shoulder."who is this friend anyways"bert asked looking in his phone."a friend from school"i said as i suddenly heard someone call my name." Danyell.she waved and walked over to us and we hugged."everyone this is my friend danyell or dany"i said as then introduce everyone to her."so how did Kiana talk you into coming"Zonni asked danyell.she shrugged and said "she really didn't have to this kind of thing interest me"."pssshhh you bugged"sofia said shaking her head."all i wanna know is where Nana and Jermaine they asses txted me and told me they were out front like 45 minutes ago ...where they at"nicole said getting loud ....again."there they go"lucien said pointing in their direction.soon as we seen them we knew what was up."heyyyyy girlies"nana said walking over to us cheesing obviously not noticing how she looked.she tried to hug ana but ana put her hands up and said"na uh b**** did you wash your hands clothes all wrinkle hair all over the place with the big ass kool aid smile....you not fooling nobody you nasty ass hoes".Nana and Jermaine just started laughing."so where ya'll do it this time"Jamie asked."the men's bathroom"they both said together.I just shook my head and looked at Dany and Tami's faces which was filled with complete shock.This was nothing new to us though it was expected of them they were just nasty like that."umm what is she doing here"nana said now completely changing her tone.knowing their past jermaine grabbed onto her to hold her back and said"woooo sahhhh"making nana back hand him playfully."we'll discuss this later everyone is starting to board"i said nodding over to the line that had started to form.We all gathered up other lines and tickets and headed over to the line.In a matter of hours we would finally be at Poveglia,Italy ....
Run It
"are we there yet"tyler whined from the backseat for about the hundredth time.We all took a deep sigh trying to refrain from backslapping him."yes tyler damn we get off on the next exit the airport is right there"Zonni said trying to keep her calm."wooo sssaaahhhh"i said fanning her.She just looked at me annoyed and said "Kiana ....
