Cold-Hearted Woman Steals Baseball From Little Girl
It turns out the Houston Astros' fans stink almost as much as the team does.
It turns out the Houston Astros' fans stink almost as much as the team does.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings from the Houston area, no one - and we mean no one - was watching the struggling Houston Astros on Sunday.
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips' butt has a lesson for all of you ball players out there -- don't slide head first.
Chris Lane, an Australian man who had recently accepted a scholarship to play baseball for East Central University in Oklahoma, was shot and killed by three Oklahoma teens Friday afternoon. According to the police, the teens did it simply because they were bored.
We're not quite sure how this happens. This opening pitch thrown by 'Call Me Maybe' singer Carly Rae Jepsen at the Tampa Rays game on Sunday is a colossal failure.
If you've seen an opening pitch better than this, please let us know. At Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, South Korea, rhythmic gymnast* Shin Soo-ji threw this opening pitch.
What says "summer is finally here" better than being smacked repeatedly in the chest by a small child? Lemonade? Sure. The distant jangle of ice cream trucks? Absolutely. Fireworks and BBQ? Okay, fine, we get it
Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you're taking a "selfie" (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you.
In the '90s baseball classic 'Rookie of the Year,' 12-year old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) really wants to be a major leaguer. The only problem is he's more of klutz than a diamond king.
We really weren't that excited about baseball season starting until we saw this video. Now we are filled with a burning desire to go to a game, catch a ball in a cup of beer, chug the beer and hold the ball in our mouth.
Incredible individual performances marked the past week of play in Major League Baseball, with Albert Pujols finally going deep for the Los Angeles Angels and Bryce Harper continuing to make a name for himself in Washington. Here's what's happening this week in MLB.
In a Friday game at the Little League World Series, Huntington Beach, California pitcher Braydon Salzman was almost smacked in the forehead with a line-drive ball. It would've surely been a scary event (just ask this minor leaguer) — were it not for the brim of his ball cap.
While the impact did knock Salzman to the ground, slow-motion replay shows his cap's bill took the brunt of the impact, leaving a noticeable dent.

Lonicera brownii Dropmore Scarlet Honeysuckle
Some old threads tell me that a few of you have this vine.
How fast does it grow? Does it look nice when established, or does it grow in a big tangled mess? Will it damage a wooden fence?
One website says it's trouble free, and another says it's an aphid magnet.
Any comments, good or bad, would be welcome, as usual.
Naf, mine has been beset by aphids every year for some time now. It was, however, very attractive for years before that started to happen. Last year wasn't too bad, so I'm hoping that maybe it was one of those cycle things. Mine is planted right up against a wall where it only gets morning sun, so maybe it is stressed by its growing conditions.
As far as growth, I would say the vine is very manageable. The vines need something to twine around for support. You will need a trellis or something to hold them up.
It's a pretty tough vine. My DH bought me one and I didn't want it, well not that I didn't want it but I had nowhere to put a vine, so I left it sitting in its pot for 4 months against the house wall, unwatered. It still looked fine in the fall so I popped it out of the pot and planted it there with a trellis. The area is a mess of invasive lily of the valley, tiger lilies and irises. The next spring it started growing and thriving, and I had never watered it or improved the soil or anything. I'm hoping it keeps it up this third summer and I'll get a bigger trellis, it would be nice on the front of the house.
No pest problems here, not that I really inspect it at all.
I don't think it would harm a fence, as mentioned it needs support to climb so it doesn't have any aerial roots that would wreck stuff.
Mine have never had aphids, but my sister said hers got aphids every year. Mine grows on a chain link fence, and is now wound up with radar love clematis (pic on the bubble thread). I have another that I cut right to the ground last year and it's bouncing back nicely. Hummingbirds go nuts for the blossoms.
We have a tremendous amount of sun, so I guess I'll plant one and see what happens. I'll need to learn that if I don't like something, I can just get rid of it.
How many years would it be before it's about 4-5 feet tall and blooming? Information says it's a fast grower, but since we're all in a cold zone, how long would "fast" be?
They can bloom the first year. They can bloom right to hard frost.
Once they are established they can grow very quickly. Second year should give you 4-5 feet tall. The one I had at the old house tripled in size in just two seasons. I have seen some very established vines and they get THICK.
I planted one out at my brother`s ranch about 5 years ago by the corner of his deck. It has never had aphids, takes the brunt of the west wind and manages to survive. It is covered in blossoms pretty consistently from spring till frost. The hummingbirds love it!

It asks you what you want to share with the group when you set it up. Devices, Documents, Videos, Music and Pictures.
Posted 04 November 2012 - 20:22
I see that, but is it shared with the whole network, or just between devices running on the Homegroup? I thought I've seen somewhere that Homegroup opened up your device to the whole network. I just wanted to make sure it didn't.

Ok, so it's setup, but I am still able to access my homegroup folders via a non-homegroup device. Hell, I can get into folders that are set not to be shared. How the eff-? This is secure?
EDIT: Looks like my sharing settings are open. Turned those off, now testing again...
EDIT 2: Great. Now that my file sharing is turned off, the Homegroup was killed. So how the **** is Homegroup secure when my PCs are broadcasting in bright neon signs across the network to my room mate's PCs? I don't get it?

Expect the associated sfc trough to pass through the area early tonight. The boundary will encounter better moisture after it moves through the cwfa with increased convection, but this will take place south of our area tonight. Sfc high pressure will move in behind the front, becoming centered over the area by daybreak Monday. .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 224 PM CDT SUN MAR 29 2015 Warm and dry weather is expected Monday as the sfc high moves e-se of the area and a modest south return flow develops. Another sfc trough will wash out over the area Tuesday as upper level ridging moves into the Plains with continued warm temperatures. A more active pattern looks to evolve during the mid/late week period. A strong shortwave is expected to move into the western CONUS Wednesday pushing a sfc front out into the Plains. Not bad agreement between global models with the GFS and GEM a bit faster with the front versus the ECMWF as it moves into the area late Wednesday night and Thursday. Large scale triggers for strong convection are present like typical early Spring deep layer shear, steep mid level lapse rate with an eml/cap, but diurnal timing of the front, and extent of upstream convection on Wednesday and potential downstream interference with instability due to weakening convective "debris" is in some question this far out. SPC has a 15% outlook for Thu with the fropa and this seems like a good conservative approach for now until details become better focused. Cooler air will move into the region Fri with decreasing showers as sfc high pressure builds in behind the front. Dry weather with a warming trend is then expected by the end of log term period. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1219 PM CDT SUN MAR 29 2015 VFR conditions expected through the forecast period. A weak front is currently transiting the area bringing with it a wind from south to southeast to west to northwest. Pressure gradient not as strong near the front which will allow some of the gustiness to diminish as well. Winds will come back around to a southeast direction as high pressure moves across the area overnight. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.

AMD Kernel Mode-Setting Progresses For FreeBSD
Published on 04 April 2013 11:04 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
13 Comments
More of the Radeon kernel mode-setting (KMS) driver stack being ported to FreeBSD from Linux is beginning to function.
For the past few months, the open-source Linux
Radeon KMS driver has been ported to Linux
. It's
shown signs of life
but still isn't fully working or in a state where it will be merged to the mainline code-base in the near future.
An update on the current AMD GPU FreeBSD status was shared yesterday and it comes down to working on a BIOS size issue, kernel module loading/unloading is working, the X.Org integration is "DONE", for at least Radeon HD 4000 series GPUs RandR and X-Video is working.
When it comes to more of the Radeon user-space running atop this ported Radeon code into the FreeBSD kernel in combination with the Mesa/Gallium3D driver, glxgears is working but some WebGL demos hang. Using VDPAU on Gallium3D is also failing. Another issue within the mode-setting driver is that HDMI connectors are also currently failing.
More details as to the current state of the Radeon open-source driver on FreeBSD can be found via the
FreeBSD Wiki
. After Intel KMS was merged for FreeBSD 9.1, hopefully some of the Radeon support will be ready for FreeBSD 10.0, but no time-table has been confirmed yet.

Funky and eclectic, this bistro-bar is the hottest place in town and a go-to spot for Festival actors. Chatter and jazz tunes are the soundtrack in the whimsical bordello-meets-Macbeth space, decorated with low-hung chandeliers and red rococo-style wallpaper and drapes—even the ceilings are red. The seasonal menu of only seven entrées is as playful as the decor, ranging from rib eye with herb shallot butter to panko-crusted black cod to sweet chili-fried tofu with coconut
curry rice noodles. A "late-night" menu of dressed-up sandwiches, burgers, and antipasti is served 'til midnight. On tap is a comprehensive selection of imported beers and microbrews.

I love this Balm Barr cocoa butter cream. This product with rich moisture and natural ingredients. This cream helps with dry skin in my dry climate. Great smell with a delicious fruitiness. It does leave some white on my skin, but it absorbs quickly enough. It's very moisturizing and effect on skin deeply, so the ingredients are pretty good. Great stuff.....
The best Lotion, My family loves to use it everyday. Keeps skin nice and flake and itch free. Doesn't leave a sticky film on skin either. Smell okay too.

This is the most amazing hand lotion. We live in the northeast and my husband has suffered with cracked fingers every winter. He used this lotion 2 times daily and NO SPLITS OCCURRED that winter. The trick is the SPF 15 in the lotion. love it!!

It is an excellent product it does exactly what it says it does. Thanks balm barr been using it since 1975 again thanks and my skin does too.

Jennifer Lopez received the Grace Kelly Award at the March of Dimes Celebration of Babies Luncheon in a Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2014 Dress and Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps:
Jenny switched it up a bit from the runway look, where the frock was paired with a top knot, statement necklace, and black shoes.
Serve Jennita!
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…?
*Mrs. Lopez also grabbed some dinner at Craig's Restaurant in a newsboy cap, leather jacket, cropped trousers, and a pair of Christian Louboutin Picks & Co. Pumps. Are you feeling her other 'fit?
Images: John Sciulli/Getty Images North America
The white shoes make it look a bit "country." But I love the second ensemble.
Jlo has mastered this chic thing. More celebs can stand to take tips from this woman. She also is not over exposed which i love about her too! its actually refreshing when we see her.
I lovvvveee J lo and she always nails it, BUT this outfit is so off!!!.
1)I like the dress but it should have been tailored to her body and should have been tad shorter at least to the knees.
2)Her hair is boring!, a nice high bun or up do would have looked amazing.
3) Her makeup is blah!….green eyeshadow to match her green dress??? Really?? boring, typical and no thought was put into her makeup. I would have liked to see a pop of color on her lips and simple eyemakeup!
I like the fit of the dress but it should have been knee length. I love the second ensemble!
I never realize this before,but Jlo have some really nice eyebrows.
I like her second look! It looks like a look she use to rock back in 02-03 in her "Beniffer" days!! lol
Ugh! LOVE me some J.Lo!

What types of wood are acceptable for louvered shutters?
Hello. We are building a home in South Louisiana. My allowance for shutters is 100/shutter. This is what it would cost to get board and batten shutters of pine. However, I want louvered shutters.
A shutter company makes their louvered shutters out of cedar, thus a shutter costs 220. I asked if they could make them from pine. He said yes, but they'd only last a yr.
I didn't believe him at first. But the more I thought about it: board and batten are thicker boards of pine so hold up to the elements more, whereas louvered are thin.
Enlighten me with your wisdom on this subject, please.
In your area, cypress would be the very best choice. I know there once was a factory in NO for these, they were featured on TOH or some similar program. They may still be in business, and it may be worthwhile finding a source as nearby as possible, because shipping on large delicate items is most certainly a $ factor.
Other good woods, considering you have extreme climate issues: south american mahogany (hard wood) spanish cedar (very soft wood) tiger wood (medium-hard, wish I could remember the other name for it) . these are all decent for rot resistance, and are paintable. True heart cypress will last forever. Cypress sapwood is no better than pine, unfortunately.
It's somewhat correct about the B&B construction vs. louvers, but the other issue is that louvered shutters have a mortise and tenon frame, and those joints collect water. If the wood cannot withstand staying wet without beginning to decay, the shutters are doomed. Even B&B shutters would benefit greatly by painting the components separately before assembly so the overlap area is "waterproofed".
Unless the shutters are under a deep porch where they will get no rain, the pine will not last, and is a waste of money. For $100 per shutter, you are not going to find anything worth buying, especially a louvered shutter; they are labor intensive to make. If you would like to get prices on cedar, look at the ads in the rear of "Old House Journal", Fine Homebuilding" ,etc. . If I was going to pay to have them built locally, I would use only vertical grain, heart cypress (first choice),or clear heart vertical grain redwood or cedar, or genuine Honduran mahogany ( not Philippine mahognany which is just a marketing name for meranti). There are other rot resistant woods, but they do not hold paint well.
thank you very much sombreuil and troubleseekeral. Y'all know your stuff!
Why is it that I tend to like the more expensive and harder to make things? I want inset cabs that are costing me more too! My husband says I should go with the board and batten, but I've got my heart set on the louvered with the little pole in the middle.
Pressure treated pine would work---but, finding someone willing to subject themselves and their tools to the possible ill effects of milling that wood will be difficult.
Plus, PT pine is often the worst grade and the knots will be a big pain.
If I were wanting no-maintenance exterior trim, I would look at PVC lumber. It comes in many popular sizes---1by4, 1by6, etc.-----has a grain cast in, and can be worked with most woodworking tools. Painted, it will only require occasional touchup and be otherwise carefree.
"Pressure treated pine would work..."
Not really. PT prevents attack of the wood fiber but does absolutely nothing about wood movement from moisture.
Add to that the stuff is very wet and warps like crazy as it dries out again and small sections will turn into pretzels as they dry.
but, finding someone willing to subject themselves and their tools
to the possible ill effects of milling that wood will be difficult.
What ill effects. Especially since CCA was phased out.
I was thinking of maybe this person could get some
6x6 treated timbers and have someone with a bandmill
to resaw them into 1/2 inch stock to use for the louvers.
Only problem I see with this is the grain orientations.
Since timbers usually contain the pith the resawed
lumber would be badly subjective to checking and cupping.
Pooh Bear
I wouldn't buy pine wood shutters as they don't hold up nearly as well as cedar does.
You can find exterior louvered shutters at www.shutterland.net. The make high quality shutters made of solid incense cedar, which is decay resistant, has low shrinkage and is a very straight wood.

I jumped on my Gary Fisher and mounted my go pro hero 2 to the handle bars and went for a ride. I wanted to experience the ride for myself. It's around 3 miles from Rivers Bend to Eagle Road by The Hilton and Bardenay. It was such a beautiful ride, and the scenery was amazing.

|Static Electricity: "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "As High as the Sky"
|Movies - Reviews
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Sunday, 04 May 2014 12:33
The biggest problem I had with 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man was that director Marc Webb's superhero-origin tale – with its "let's get this tiresome exposition over with" vibe and general lack of personality – felt merely like the setup for more interesting web-slinging adventures to come. The biggest problem I have with Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that it feels almost exactly the same, like a character- and conflict-building preamble that we have to endure to get to the eventual good stuff. Things certainly happen in Webb's latest cinematic comic book, but they appear to happen solely because its surviving characters need to be positioned properly for their roles in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, the inevitable outing in which maybe, finally, the series will start living up to the imposed adjective in its title.
That's a shame, because TAS-M2 is actually teeming with incidental pleasures: the dually marvelous Andrew Garfield's and Emma Stone's playful, legitimately emotional repartee as on-again/off-again lovers Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spidey) and Gwen Stacy; Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn (a.k.a. Green Goblin) plotting Spider-Man's capture and purring "I need his blood" with insinuating malevolence; the villainous Electro (Jamie Foxx) interrogating an officious jerk, killing him with an electric jolt to the heart, and then acting as a human defibrillator to revive the guy (at which point the interrogation begins anew). Yet these little nuggets of enjoyment tend to stand out because so much of the film's bulk is so underwhelming. For instance, in a scene set in crowded downtown Manhattan, I loved the bit in which the departing Spider-Man caused the pissed-off Gwen to scream "Peter!" and then quickly cover her mouth, realizing she may have accidentally blown his secret identity. But I may not have even remembered that amusing throwaway if I was at all caught up in where Spidey was racing to, or which bad guy was causing a commotion this time around; taken as a stand-alone experience, TAS-M2's incidental pleasures turn out to be its only real pleasures.
I no doubt would've felt differently had the chief cause of this movie's mayhem, Foxx's Electro, not emerged as such a dud. For a follow-up that, as the current rules of comic-book flicks dictate, strives for intense seriousness, Electro was always going to be a troublesome franchise addition: a nerdy, bowtie-wearing obsessive who – after being electrocuted and falling in a tank filled with electric eels – becomes Spider-Man's über-nemesis for no reason beyond generic megalomania. (Near as I could tell, Foxx's glowing baddie decides to dress in spandex and lay waste to New York City merely because the web-slinger usurps Electro's placement on a few Times Square billboards.) Foxx, however, doesn't bring any particular flair, or any true commitment, to the role, and sadly, he's also stuck with the dopiest comic-book-bubble dialogue the film's four screenwriters could inflict upon us. (Spider-Man himself is an incessantly, unfortunately quip-happy babbler in the movie's action scenes, but even his lamest lines don't match Electro's meant-to-be-threatening, "It's my birthday, and now it's time for me to light my candles!!!" Where's Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze – "Let's kick some ice!!!" – when you really need him?)
And while TAS-M2 certainly sets DeHaan's Green Goblin up to be a prominent figure in the next installment, making him responsible for unleashing future villains and (presumably) Spider-Man's future vengefulness, the actor is given too little to chew on here beyond the similar origin-story basics that Garfield was saddled with in TAS-M1. DeHaan is an inspired casting choice, and he elicits a few genuine shudders with the slightly fey, dead-eyed creepiness that he employed wonderfully as Lucien Carr in the recent Kill Your Darlings. But for reasons that seem almost entirely preparatory, DeHann is kept on the sidelines for most of the film, and you find yourself responding more to Harry Osborn's random comedic bits than you do to Green Goblin's maniacal hissing. (Reuniting with his best pal after 10 years apart, Harry gets in a gentle jab at Peter – and at Garfield himself – by telling him, "With your braces off, there's nothing to distract from your unibrow now.")
Generally speaking, you nearly always respond to the film's recognizably human touches with greater fervor than you do its acceptable yet fundamentally empty blockbuster set pieces. Terrific though the effects are – and the scenes of Spidey figuratively stopping time to work out potential rescue scenarios are sensational – there's far more going on in Peter's and Gwen's relationship quandaries, and even Peter's loving discord with Aunt May (a happily tough-minded Sally Field), than there is in this latest city-in-peril narrative. And when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 climaxes with the last-minute appearance of yet another costumed adversary, whose arrival is almost satirically reminiscent of John Ratzenberger's "Behold the Underminer!" entrance in Pixar's The Incredibles, you may find yourself thinking back fondly to the movie's cleverest, most well-sustained piece of action choreography, which took place about 90 minutes prior. The sequence in question finds Gwen trying to evade a bunch of goons in her office building, and Peter, without immediate access to his red-and-blue suit, coming up with a strategy allowing her to escape: a 10-second burst of madly inspired slapstick that involves a borrowed cup of coffee and some hilarious forced contortion, and that, for sheer entertainment value, puts to shame the entirely of the rest of the film's pricey visuals. Though this Spider-Man sequel definitely hints at it, I don't know exactly what's planned for part three, but now that comic-book movies have cornered the market on "dark," I'd argue that "light" would absolutely be the preferable way to go.
Winner of an honorable-mention citation for Best Narrative Feature at 2013's Landlocked Film Festival in Iowa City – and the recipient of the Audience Award at last year's Palm Beach International Film Festival – writer/director Nikki Braendlin's As High as the Sky is a micro-budgeted indie that probably cost the equivalent of five seconds worth of visual effects in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I'm pretty sure I know which was money better spent. A warm-hearted, compositionally beautiful dramedy that finds the recently dumped obsessive-compulsive Margaret (Caroline Fogarty) forced to share her home with her older, free-spirited sister Josephine (Bonnie McNeil) and her sibling's emotionally guarded 10-year-old daughter Hannah (Laurel Porter), Braendlin's feature-film debut is an absolute charmer – tender and funny and lightly touching. (The film arrives on DVD on May 6.) If you've seen enough movies, even enough made-for-TV movies, you won't find its storyline terribly surprising; the initially unstated reason for Josephine's unexpected arrival is apparent perhaps earlier than it should be, and from the film's outset, with Margaret seen fastidiously arranging pillows and tending to her rock garden, you're pretty positive that her life of utter control will be in happy disarray by the end credits. (Margaret is like an updated version of Geraldine Page in Interiors, but without the earth-tone mania and grim fate.) Yet with its lovely naturalism, arresting color schemes, and excellent performances by the three leads – with McNeil suggesting the hippie earthiness of the great Catherine Keener – As High as the Sky is a continual, 90-minute delight, and Braendlin directs her cast's scenes of wordless rapport with exceptional subtlety and clarity. Her scenes of word-filled rapport are nothing to sniff at, either. I smiled at the smart, honest dialogue throughout, but when Margaret asked Hannah if she took any health supplements beyond her multivitamin, I laughed out loud when the girl replied, "You mean, other vitamins in addition to the one that already has everything in it?"

When they aren't swiping around on them like a crazy person, they are looking for power outlets to keep the stupidly big things charged up.
Screw that. Get a phone with a normal size screen, a phone that fits in your pocket, a phone that has a battery that lasts for a whole day, a phone that doesn't need another phone as an accessory.

: The half-human daughter of a Faerie princess must lead a rebel force against a powerful enemy.
All Romance ebooksSmashwordsGypsy Shadow Publishing
In a suburban town twenty minutes from the border of Faerie lives a young woman named Karen MacGregor. Though she is the daughter of an exiled Faerie princess, Karen leads an unremarkable life full of homework, punk rock and old science fiction movies. When bloody civil war breaks out in her mother's homeland her life begins to change rapidly. Her brother is presumed dead after his fighter jet is shot down over the Enchanted Forest, and Faerie's royal family, including her beloved godfather, has been executed. Accompanied by a Fey Prince with whom she shares a forbidden love and armed with magic she never knew existed, Karen must lead a rebel force against an ancient and powerful enemy.
Chapter 1
Vicious pounding thudded on the door of the YMCA. Surprised by the sudden noise, Karen MacGregor looked around to see if someone else was on it, but no one was. She was the youngest of the volunteers, and most of the time the others seemed annoyed to find her underfoot. But how much damage could she do by opening the door? The pounding came again, this time accompanied by terrified shouting in Fey.
Theresa, Karen's volunteer supervisor, looked up from ladling food and snapped, �Would somebody please get that door?�
�Ah, get it yourself,� Karen muttered rebelliously under her breath. Theresa either didn�t hear her or chose not to respond. Karen ran to answer the door as one last shout thundered from behind it.
As she pulled the door open, the wind nearly blew it out of her grasp. Two Seelie Fey in the green uniforms of the Summer Court, a Brownie and an Undine, stood outside with a similarly clad Sprite sagging between them. All three were soaked, muddy and bleeding. The Undine was a water Fey, and in this violent weather she appeared to be formed of the rain, skin glittering like collected dew, blood pale against her waterfall of hair. On the side of her face, a dark burn the shape of a hand marked her skin. The Brownie was about three feet tall, hairless and nut brown, and had a head wound that was turning the mud on his cheeks red. The Sprite in the middle wasn�t moving at all.
Karen opened her mouth to speak, but the Undine gave her an indecipherable look and thrust the limp Sprite into her arms.
�Here,� grunted the Undine in accented English, placing one silver hoof inside the door, �She is not well. Take care of her.�
The Sprite�s weight almost toppled Karen, but she managed to keep her feet. The creature was delicate, with long hair that shifted color and bones that looked sharp against her thin skin. She looked as if she could ride the currents of a warm breeze despite the solidity of her body in Karen�s arms. The Sprite stared with flat, unblinking eyes. An unpleasant smell reached Karen�s nose as she lowered the Sprite to the mud-tracked tiles. Was the Fey bespelled? Could sorcery cause the same nauseating smell as new death?
Karen just stared at the Sprite for a moment, waiting for a clue or an explanation. She couldn�t possibly be dead, could she? She was Fey. They were immortal.
As Karen stared at the creature she heard Theresa�s voice from behind her shoulder cry out, �Oh my God!� The woman hurried forward, shouting, �Someone call 911!� Kneeling beside the Sprite, the older volunteer tilted the Fey�s mouth open to clear her airway and breathed into it. Karen watched the narrow chest rise in response to the rescue breathing.
People were pushing past Karen to get at the downed Sprite, jostling her. She looked around for the Undine and the Brownie who had just come in, but they were nowhere to be seen, gone without explanation. There was a wall of people between Karen and the Sprite now, and she had to stand on her tiptoes to see over them. From the crowd around Theresa, a voice said, �I think it�s too late, Theresa, she�s gone.�
�Gone where?� Karen exploded, loudly and more angrily than she had intended. A few people looked up at her, but none of them had any answers. �Ogres can�t kill the warriors of the Wild Hunt! She can�t be dead! Try again!�
Theresa emerged from the crowd. She was disheveled; her dark braid had come loose during the chest compressions and strands of it were straggling around her face. Her eyes were shadowed with weariness.
�Karen,� she said, as if surprised that the young volunteer still existed. �Honey, why don�t you go sit down for a few minutes? The paramedics will be here in a while and I don�t want you in the way.�
Karen almost became indignant at being dismissed again, but something in Theresa's posture made her pause. She doubted if Theresa had anything in her soul that could be surprised anymore. She didn�t know how many dead Fey Theresa had seen. Karen had only been working at the Arborville Y for three weeks, since her Civics teacher had assigned volunteer work and a report for their final exam. Karen had chosen this out of some misguided sense of cultural responsibility. She wished fervently that she hadn�t.
There was more commotion at the doors. Karen shook off her thoughts, found Theresa gone, and disobeyed her by going to find out what was happening. Someone shouted, �Does anybody speak Fey?�
Karen pushed her way through the crowd. �I do. Can I help?�
Another of the volunteers, a man named Mark with a paunch and balding head said, �What is this guy saying? It seems important.�
Karen nudged her way through the crowd to the Dryad who appeared to be the center of the group. He had bark growing from the backs of his arms. His hair was dark green and stringy with rainwater. He wore the blue robes of a wizard. Mud had been ground into the hem. He was wringing his hands and babbling in Fey to whatever volunteer would listen. None of the other translators were nearby and Karen's fluency was strained by his frightened stammering.
Alarmed by his behavior, Karen shouted in Fey to get his attention. �Hey! What happened? What�s wrong?�
The wizard seemed to notice Karen for the first time. He turned to her with wild eyes, whites showing all around his irises, and then stammered in the same language, �The ogres are in Avalon, in the palace. They have won. We are conquered.�
Karen�s mind chattered insane questions, but her mouth was still. The thought of the Ogres inside the palace seemed impossible. If there was one thing she knew High King Thael Quintinar was capable of doing, it was holding his house against attack. The High Queen, his wife, had served with Karen's mother in the Wild Hunt for centuries, and Karen had grown up playing with their youngest son. Each of Thael�s children was a stronger wizard than the last. When they all stood together, no Ogre could cross their threshold. She wondered if she had misunderstood, briefly.
But Karen hadn�t learned Fey in school. She had learned it from her mother, who spoke it natively, and had even been placed in special classes as a child because she came from a bilingual home. It didn�t matter that the wizard�s dialect was more scholarly than the language she spoke with her family. She knew what she'd heard.
�No." Karen shook her head with denial, held up her palms to ward his words away.
�What is it?� Mark demanded. �What�s going on?�
Karen ignored him. The Dryad continued, �I saw the flames of funeral pyres before I escaped the city. They came from the courtyard.�
Karen felt her heart stop for a second and she gasped, �It�s impossible.�
�I wish it were,� the wizard said. He shook his head, sadly, and pushed through the ring of onlookers.
Karen watched him go. �I really don�t think this is funny,� she called, voice high and near hysteria, but he did not look back. Karen watched one of the volunteers try to give him a cup of coffee, but he ignored it and made his way to the windows.
Mark surprised her a little by placing his hand on her shoulder. Karen�s thoughts felt foggy, as if she was watching herself through a badly out of focus movie camera.
�What did he say?� Mark asked again.
Karen blinked, struggling to bring her thoughts back under her control. �I think he said the war was over,� she replied. �He said the Ogres are in Avalon, and he said he saw flames from the palace courtyard.�
Going pale, Mark whispered, �Dear God.�
Karen nodded and walked away from him without speaking. Dear God, she thought. She started to cry. Her sobs were painful, burning her throat and her face as they tore loose. If she'd had a moment to prepare, she would have found somewhere to hide her grief. But it overcame her too quickly for that.
�Karen?� Theresa said. She sounded frightened. �Karen, are you okay? What�s wrong? What happened?�
Funeral pyres. It could not be so. What did all of this mean for her brother? She wondered if Julian would stumble into the YMCA, another refugee, soaked with his own blood and haunted with the nearness of his own death. Or was it really possible that he had died when his fighter jet was shot down over the Enchanted Forest, as his Colonel claimed? She had spent four months refusing to believe it. But now...this war was over. He would be coming home. Or he wouldn't, and that would be her final answer.
She doubted Beri would ever leave his home, even while it burned. He�d rather die. She had begged him last summer to come out to California. She'd couched it in terms of a vacation, keeping her fear for him secret, but he had told her that he could not be spared. She had wondered at the time how he could have suddenly become so dedicated to his homeland. Now, with his house burning, that newborn sense of responsibility might have proved fatal.
For a moment, she hated her brother, whom she'd worshiped, and her best friend, who should have been safe in his palace, protected by his father's knights and his own strong magic. Why hadn�t Julian stayed home? He hadn't needed to join the Air Force and become a fighter pilot; he could have taken the VP spot at Dad's firm. And Beri should have swallowed his pride and fled for Earth last summer when Karen has begged him to.
Karen cried harder. She wanted to go home. She thought she would, actually, they didn�t really need her, and there were enough bilingual Fey in the room to translate the Avalon library into English.
�I�m going home,� Karen announced to Theresa, who was still looking at Karen with frightened concern. �You don't need me...�
Theresa nodded, eyes understanding. She patted Karen on the shoulder as the younger volunteer moved past her. Karen didn�t think she would return tomorrow. She had chosen a community service for her civics assignment that was far too close to home. She could have cleaned up trash along the highway, but no. Karen had wanted to �make a difference� in the world.
She hunched her shoulders in anticipation of the cold rain and walked through the back door into the parking lot. Her father�s silver Mercedes was dull as a closed eye in the filtering illumination from the street lamp above. Rain plopped into her hair and slid down her spine in oily slug tracks. Karen pulled on the thin gloves that would protect her hands from the steel in her keys, then unlocked the door and started the engine. The car started with a pleasant hum as she put it into gear. It made her think of Beri, who had been an awful driver and crashed three of the nicest cars she had ever seen.
Karen sobbed, horrified as her thoughts of him became past tense. She almost wished she had never loved them, those missing boys that would leave her empty if they passed. She wished that she could be an.0y other girl, one who might realize in passing that the Ogres had conquered Avalon, and then quickly forget.
Karen scrubbed at her face and put the car in gear. The weather was getting worse.
