Sick: NYPD Police Officers Executed in Revenge Killing
in Politics
NYPD Police officers Rafeal Ramos and Wenjian Liu were both shot in the head and killed Saturday by a man seeking revenge in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
The shooter, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, started the morning off by shooting his ex-girlfriend in the stomach. Following the initial shooting, he traveled to New York City. During his quick trip, he boasted of his plans to kill cops in the name of Eric Garner and Mike Brown via Instagram.
These heinous acts of violence is pure evil. It follows numerous protests in NYC, Ferguson and other cities across the country in the wake of the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases.
Last week in NYC, protesters chanted, "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now," as they marched. It seems their threatening language has become reality.
Our president, the attorney general, Al Sharpton and the likes have all made statements that are only designed to fuel the flames of racial tension in our country.
If we don't put an end to the racial divide in our nation, we will see more police brutality and the ushering in of a new type of police state like we've never seen before. The strategy of divide and conquer will be successful in one of its most primitive forms.
It's time for all Americans to come together and stand up for what is right and what is wrong, regardless of race.

Anti-Semitism in America/ NYPD Officer Dovid Attila and Shifra Hoffman
in Politics
Police officer Dovid Attila, a decorated Israeli war hero, and dual national who is experienced in Counter Terrorism Operations and trained to protect the site, lives and property was assigned to the World Trade Center Command Base at the rebuilt world trade center in New York City. Dovid is his Hebrew name and was the target of constant harassment, jokes, antisemitism and had swastikas placed on his locker room, text message on the phone were sent along with threats of physical violence and occasion threats of death made against him. We will have him with his attorneys on to discuss the litigation and issues in the NYPD. In addition, we have invited NYC councilman David Greenfield, along with Brooklyn Boro President Eric Adams from 100 Blacks in law enforcement on to discuss the major issues of faith and race that the PBA obviously has helped to cover up. Also invited will be Pat Lynch if he choses to show. I doubt he will because of the active litigation. It has always been the position of our show, Israel is the home of the Jewish People, and Dovid needs to be there. Shifra Hoffman from ISRAEL NATIONAL RADIO, will be appearing the last half hour of the broadcast to say hello to David and discuss the importance of returning home.
The NYPD Exposed: The Most Corrupt Police Department In America?
The time has come to set the record straight on one of the most corrupt police forces in America, THE NYPD!
Pastor Damon Richardson has had enough of the denial that has been executed not only by many in the Black Clergy but in the Black Community as a whole.
It appears that to many are muzzled because of their fear of losing their jobs or smearing their public persona as to not have the spotlight placed on them which might cause them to lose what they have.
It's the equivalent to the old plantations and the unwritten rules therein that are played out in the new year of 2015 that shows how far we HAVEN'T progressed.
On the other hand we have the New York City Police Department, an agency that has a history of brutality, criminal activity and gangster-like tactics when dealing with the people of color there.
The abuse of power, the beat downs, the killings, the exploitation and all that is executed behind a badge and a gun has reached a boiling point in the society to cause the people to be anxious and ready for a righteous revolution!
While it would be unwise to fight this war in a manner that they will win hands down, we must be smart in our execution of it because we the people hold the power because we outnumber themby far.
But before we attack the problem we must know exactly what the problem is and tonight we will go in on the transgressions of the New York City Police Department with fire, intensity and intelligence from a Man Of God who can articulate it like no other!
A man to whom we know and love: Pastor Damon Richardson!
This is truly one program that you do not want to miss!

And is Al Sharpton now playing role of the victim?
NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella And His Framing Of Innocent Black Men!
The fact that retired former NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella's dirty deeds while carrying a badge and a gun cost New York City millions of dollars I see as a definite example of poetic justice.
It may have taken far too long to come to light but at least the truth had finally shined through the lies.
Anyone who has lived in New York City for any substantial amount of time knows that the Police there operate under an entirely different set of rules than those found on Mainstream U.S.A.
To put it bluntly, they are a gang and operate off the books with their own set of unpublished and unspoken rules that are beyond the scope of what we deem to be undisputed justice.
So even though Louis Scarcella has been justifiably exposed as a dirty police officer and detective who has ruined the lives of countless people because of the innocent Black men that he railroaded into long prison sentences, the time that these families lost could never be equated with a monetary figure.
Then when you think of the judges, lawyers and district attorney's that have worked along with Louis Scarcella in order to frame innocent Black men, only then will you understand the magnitude of what has transpired under the name of the law.
Yet when one cries out about the injustices executed in the Black communities just like those under attack in places like New York City and abroad, you are deemed to be delusional at best and disconnected from reality.

"Telling the truth is fun." ? Andrew Breitbart
Critical Discourse – Black Men, the Mayor of NYC and the NYPD; Viva Cuba?
The reverberations from the Richmond County Grand Jury's decision not to indict Daniel Pantaleo, of the NYPD, continue to be felt.
While protests on behalf of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, have been largely peaceful, if not very inconveniencing for New Yorkers, there have been sporadic instances of violence,
During a protest on the Brooklyn Bridge last Saturday, two men, both white, one a college professor, allegedly triggered a melee and assaulted police.
In the meantime, the events and reactions from that fateful day has caused tension between Mayor DiBlasio and the head of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association, Patrick Lynch, who has accused the mayor of making remarks that are disrespectful of the police.
In fact, some of the NYPD have supported a pledge to disinvite the Mayor to their funerals.
On the international front, Barack Obama has decided to establish diplomatic and economic relations with Cuba, citing that the embargo, in place since 1961, has "not worked".
Again, as expected, the reactions vary, with intense criticism from Sens. Marco Rubio Robert Menendez, both of whom are of Cuban heritage.
On the other hand, Jimmy Carter praised Obama's "political courage". Perhaps he sees this as a sort of redemption from the Mariel Boatlift?
I wonder out loud, what this means for black people economically, with an anticipated influx of Cubans to this country, just 90 miles away.
For those old enough to remember, this conjures memories of the Bay of Pigs (1961) and Cuban Missile Crisis (1962).
By the WAY, Obama says that black people are "better off" (HE said it, NOT me!)
So be prepared to discuss these pointed issues on the Critical Discourse University of the Blogosphere.

The tax liability, however, has not been previously recognized and will affect income in 2009. The effect of this additional income tax will reduce 2009 EPS by
Also affecting projected results for 2009 is the strengthening of the US dollar. The strong US dollar has had a significant impact on operating results for the last 2 quarters of 2008.

HENDERSON, Ky. - A Henderson man has been charged with sexual offenses allegedly committed against two underage girls, one of whom he coached on a youth recreational league softball team.
The Henderson Police Department on Wednesday arrested Paul "Tim" Jennings, 42, 2100 block of Gregory Drive, on two counts of third-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
City police said the charges stem from an investigation into allegations made by two adult women. The women reported that the crimes were committed when they were under age 16, authorities said.
According to documents filed in the Henderson Judicial Center, one of the victims was on a traveling youth softball team that Jennings coached.
Jennings was lodged at the Henderson County Detention Center under a $10,000 full-cash bond and has since bonded out.
Police said the investigation is continuing.

Matheus hit the ground first. The air exploded out of his lungs; he felt like a popped balloon. The force of the impact knocked Quin out of his arms, but Matheus still took the brunt of the damage. He lay still for a second, listening to Apollonia shout orders, too dazed to remember how to move. His bones vibrated from the shock of sudden deceleration; his flesh felt as though he'd bathed in Novocain. Then the ache set in. Matheus groaned. He'd definitely broken his spleen this time.
Rolling onto his side, Matheus pushed himself upright. His legs wavered, but held steady. Behind him, he heard a door burst open and the crash of heavy footsteps. Matheus didn't stop to look. He scooped up Quin in a fireman's hold, knees dipping before Matheus gave them a stern talking to. Staggering and weaving, Matheus ran toward the copse of trees behind Apollonia's house. Quin's head bounced against Matheus' back, accompanied by high-pitched whimpers.
A trail of blood marked the grass, leading to a wide gap in the tangle of vines around the trees. Matheus inhaled; the faint smell of rotten blood rose up. He dove into the screen of trees as the first volley of bolts whizzed around him. Shards of branches rained down. Matheus plunged forward, heading for the lights through the bare trees. Wooded areas in cities tend to be only so big. He glanced over his shoulder. Apollonia's guards had followed him, but they lacked the blind panic-fueled adrenalin driving Matheus faster and faster.
He stumbled as his feet hit concrete. He'd emerged in a parking lot, half-full, with one very startled car thief. She paused in the middle of inserting a slim jim down the window of Honda Accord.
"Have you seen a―?"
Without changing expression, the thief pointed to the left.
"Thanks," said Matheus. "You should probably run."
The thief's eyebrows wrinkled. She opened her mouth, but before she managed to speak, a bolt smashed through the front windshield of the Accord. Yanking her slim jim free, the thief took off. Matheus followed her example, turning left instead. He dodged down an alleyway, skidding to a halt as a man in a stained apron stepped out of a side door. Matheus dug out his wallet, slapping some bills into the man's hand and nodding toward the door. With a shrug, the man held the door open. Matheus ducked inside.
Sounds of cutlery and voices came from one end of the hall. Opposite, two swinging doors led into the kitchen. A waiter walked out carrying a tray loaded with drinks. He gave Matheus a startled look.
"Too much to drink," said Matheus. "Bathroom?"
The waiter pointed down the hall, his eyes wide, mouth hanging open. Matheus thanked him. He pushed open the door to the men's room. The urinals were empty. Matheus crossed to the handicapped stall. He dumped Quin on the floor, then locked the stall door. He dropped next to Quin, too exhausted to care about the stains marking the linoleum. Quin curled into a ball, keening softly as he rocked back and forth. A large bruise covered his swollen ankle; scratches and more bruises covered his body. He cradled his arm to his chest, but Matheus didn't see any breaks. Matheus wondered how long they had before the waiter called the cops. He slipped off his coat, and forced Quin's arms into the sleeves. As he did up the buttons, he heard the door to the bathroom open. Matheus rose into a runner's crouch, ready to attack. A pair of feet stopped in front of the stall door, then a pair of pants came flying over the top.
Matheus stood up. He opened the door a crack. The man who'd let him in stood there. He rattled off a long stream of language that Matheus didn't understand. Matheus shook his head.
"Go," said the man in a thick accent. "Now go." He pointed toward the door.
Matheus nodded. He jammed Quin's legs into the pants, ignoring Quin's yelps as he touched Quin's bruised ankle. The pants didn't fit; they hung off Quin's hips and reached mid-calf, but anything beat nudity. He got Quin to stand, slinging Quin's arm over his shoulders and gripping his waist. The man followed Matheus open to the back door, shooing him down the alleyway.
Matheus half-carried Quin,who stumbled along, his head hanging down. On the street, Matheus looked left and right, but he saw no sign of Apollonia's soldiers. A trail of blood droplets, smeared by something, ran down the sidewalk. Taking his time with Quin, Matheus followed the trail.
When the droplets stopped, so did Matheus. A private garden sat to his right, an ivy-covered gate across the entrance and high bushes hiding the interior. A small gap existed between the gate and the brushes. Several of the branches had been snapped, and holes dotted the crust of snow. Matheus squeezed through the gap, dragging Quin after him. Inside, mounds marked the flower beds hidden beneath the snow. Tall buildings surrounded the garden, blocking off the other three sides. A bench sat in the center, overshadowed by a massive oak tree. Freddie lay next to the tree, one massive paw resting on Alistair's chest. He growled as Matheus approached.
"Hi," said Matheus. "Good doggy. Huge, terrifying doggy."
Another growl. Matheus thanked God that Kenderton hadn't been built over a fault line. Freddie would have triggered a 6.5 earthquake. Matheus propped Quin against the tree. He held his hands palms out, inching toward Alistair.
"I'm not going to take him," Matheus said. "I just want to―"
He jumped back as Freddie snapped at him.
"Okay, okay. I'll just stay here." Matheus made a big show of turning away. He checked on Quin, who'd passed out. He ran his hands over Quin's body, searching for broken bones. Except for his ankle, Quin didn't appear to have any major injuries, but Matheus didn't know if the fall had hurt something internally. He'd have to wait for Alistair. When he glanced over his shoulder, he saw that Freddie had changed into his human form. His quite naked human form.Quite, quite naked. Matheus snapped his gaze back to Freddie's face, trying to suppress the sudden feeling of inadequacy. He cleared his throat.
"Thanks," he said.
"It wasn't for you," said Freddie.
"Right. Um, do you want to take Alistair's jacket? Maybe tie it around your waist or something?"
Freddie arched an eyebrow. The eyebrow said I have no intention of putting on any clothes at all and am rather enjoying making you feel like a eunuch.
Alistair stirred. His shirt had been shredded, the tatters smeared with blood. Freddie's bite marks formed a dark circle on his shoulder, bruising surrounding the jagged wound. Alistair groaned.
"Matheus?" he said, struggling to sit up.
"Over here," said Matheus. He pressed his arm against his chest, broken rib digging into his flesh.
Clutching his shoulder, Alistair turned. His eyes went wide as he saw Freddie looming over him. He scanned down, then up, then stopped somewhere around the middle.
"Hello," Alistair said.
"Jesus Christ," said Matheus. "Alistair!"
Alistair managed to peel his gaze free. He looked at Matheus, assuming what Matheus called his 'doctor face'.
"You're hurt," Alistair said.
"We're alive," said Matheus. "Be happy with that." He staggered to his feet, bracing himself against the bench for support.
"What happened?" Alistair asked.
"I'm going to steal a car," said Matheus. "I'll tell you on the way home."
Alistair insisted they stop for medical supplies. Matheus let him into a darkened CVS, then circled the block, looking for a meal. He'd stopped breathing; every inhale only increased the stabbing pain in his chest. He needed to eat. Thankfully, they hadn't stopped in the best part of town. Matheus left the would-be mugger in the alley, and walked back to the car. Alistair already sat in the back beside Quin, a plastic bag at his feet. His shoulder had healed, only smooth, silvery scars left from Freddie's bite.
"Security guard," he said at Matheus' look. "He was watching TV in the break room. I took a bunch of painkillers, so the police should think it was just robbery gone wrong."
"Except for the corpse drained of blood," said Matheus, shifting the car into gear. He'd left the engine on while they'd run their errands. He glanced at Freddie, twisted around in the front seat, watching Alistair. He'd wrapped Alistair's jacket around his waist, at least. Not that the jacket left much to the imagination. Matheus made a mental note to find Freddie a pair of pants as soon as possible.
When they returned to the house, Alistair closeted himself away with Quin. He muttered under his breath about always being the one who had to do the patching up. Matheus asked him why he went to medical school if it bothered him that much. Alistair responded by slamming the door in Matheus' face.
Freddie hovered at Matheus' shoulder. He stared at the door Alistair had just shut until Matheus dragged him down the hall. He growled, but allowed himself to be pulled away. He walked with his spine stiff, his shoulders hunched. He jerked to a halt as Heaven appeared at the end of corridor. His lip curled.
Matheus stepped between them, hoping Heaven hadn't heard the low snarl.
"Hi," he said. "We're back."
"So I was informed," said Heaven. "Who is this?" She didn't sound angry, only curious. Apparently werewolves didn't fall into the same category as succubae.
"Freddie," said Matheus. "He, uh, he helped us escape."
"And you brought him here?" Heaven tilted her head to the side.
"He sort of tagged along." Matheus shrugged. He didn't know if Freddie had a home or a family, but he didn't seem in a hurry to leave. Matheus guessed as long as Alistair stayed here, so would Freddie.
"Indeed," said Heaven. She walked around Matheus, Freddie twisting to face her. She looked him up and down, a more academic appraisal than Alistair's had been. "I do not know if the others will be pleased, but they trust you," she said to Matheus. She nodded at Freddie, then continued down the hallway.
"That's Heaven," said Matheus. "She's…" He waved a hand. "Important."
"She isn't the leader?" Freddie asked. He looked at Matheus, his eyebrows drawn together.
"No." Matheus pushed open to the room he shared with Alistair. "I am."
Freddie nodded. He circled the small room, then stopped in front of Matheus.
"This room smells like him," he said, his gaze fixed on Matheus. "And you."
"You mean Alistair? Well, yes," said Matheus. "We sleep here."
He turned toward the pile of clean laundry. He thought his pants might Freddie, although he didn't know about his shirts.
"Together?" asked Freddie.
"Yeah," said Matheus without thinking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Freddie leap. Matheus dodged to the left, slipping on the sleek fabric of the sleeping bag. His shoulder struck the wall and he rebounded, landing hard on his ass. A large hand closed around his collar. Matheus found himself on his feet before he had a chance to react.
"Thanks," he said. Freddie stood in front of him, his hands clenched in fists, his gaze pointed at his feet.
"Sorry," he said in his rough rumble.
"Right," said Matheus. He resisted the urge to edge away from Freddie. Closing the door behind them started to seem like a bad idea. He cleared his throat. "The last time I trusted one of you, she tried to kill Alistair and me. That's where he got those scars."
Freddie frowned at his toes.
"What happened to her?" he asked.
"I shot her in the face," said Matheus.
Freddie didn't say anything.
Matheus rubbed his forehead. At this rate he'd get into The Guinness Book of World Records for Most Bad Decisions Made By One Person. He already knew Alistair's reaction, and he didn't think that'd be the outlier.
"Do you have family?" Matheus asked. "Or a place to go?"
"No," said Freddie.
"Do you want to stay here?"
Freddie looked up. "If he does."
"Okay," said Matheus. "I'm going to find you some clothes and a place to sleep. Then I'm going to take a shower. Do not attack anyone. If I have to babysit you all the time, you're leaving, understand? That's if you don't get ripped to pieces first."
"I'll sleep here," said Freddie.
Matheus opened his mouth to argue, then shook his head.
This is not going to end well, he thought.
"Matheus." Milo called out of his room as Matheus passed by his open door.
"Can it wait?" Matheus asked. "I've just adopted a semi-feral werewolf, I smell like shit, and there's a slim, but dwindling chance there might be some hot water left."
"There isn't," said Milo.
Matheus sighed. Shifting his bundle of clothes, he stepped gingerly into Milo's room. Cords snaked across the floor, out the door and up the hallway. Milo and Joan had been busy. They'd set up a generator, allowing Milo to rig together a makeshift system. The lone monitor hooked to a single laptop looked a bit pathetic after seeing Milo's former layout, but at least he'd stopped moping. A stopgap while they figured out the best way to rip off the electric company. Currently, only the main room and Milo's room had electricity, but Joan spent all her free time installing new wiring. Usually with a staple gun and a manic grin, but she hadn't maimed anyone yet, so Matheus left her to it. Besides, she wielded a screwdriver in a very disturbing manner.
Milo sat in front of the monitor, the white glow the only light in the room. He rolled his chair out of the way as Matheus approached.
"It's a good likeness," he said.
Matheus stared at the pencil sketch. Milo had frozen a news report. Sports scores ran along the bottom of the screen. A bullet list of Matheus' attributes rang alongside the sketch, along with a police hotline.
"Shit," said Matheus. "Is my forehead really that big?"
Milo shrugged.
"It can't be," said Matheus. "You could land planes on that thing." He tried measuring his forehead with his fingers, then comparing the distance to the sketch. Milo slapped his hand away. With a glare at Matheus, he scrubbed at the fingerprints left on the screen.
"You left someone alive," he said.
"I―" Matheus stopped, remembering the frat boy in the cemetery. So he had survived. "That was weeks ago."
"A new body turned up. A pretty blonde girl." Milo pulled up a photo. The girl looked about eighteen, with a smile comprised of perfect white teeth, complemented by her flawless tan. Matheus frowned, trying to remember if he'd ever seen her before. She reminded him a reality TV star, attractive, but generic.
"I didn't kill her," Matheus said.
"Doesn't matter," said Milo. "The police think they have a serial killer."
"They aren't entirely wrong."
"Her family is making a fuss." Milo looked up at Matheus. "This isn't going to go away."
"What am I supposed to do?" Matheus asked.
"Don't get arrested," said Milo.
"Thank you." Matheus rolled his eyes. "Excellent advice. Can I go have my freezing shower now?"
Milo turned to face the screen. The glow brought out the deep blue highlights of his dark skin. His glasses had slid down the bridge of his nose. He pushed them up with his pinky before returning his hands to the keyboard.
"Joan wanted to see you," he said.
"Has she electrocuted someone?" Matheus asked.
"Not someone. No one will work with her anymore."
Matheus sighed, shifting his bundle of clothes to his other arm. He didn't have much longer before dawn. At this rate, he'd never get his shower.
"I'm going to have to yell at people, aren't I?" he asked.
"Play to your strengths," said Milo.
Matheus resisted the urge to rub his fingers all over Milo's sparkling monitor.
"You do it," he said.
"I have things to do."
"Like what?" asked Matheus."You work for me, right? And I haven't given you anything to do. Well, I'm delegating. Leaders are supposed to delegate." He slapped Milo on the shoulder. "Good luck."
He turned and fled the room, Milo's response lost behind him.
Icicles formed in Matheus' hair during his walk back to the house. He threw his dirty clothes in the pile destined for the Laundromat. Dropping onto the sofa, he glanced around the room. Thomas and Jonathan (or possibly John) sat in one corner, playing chess. Eamon sprawled in the battered armchair, reading. Gwen sat on the floor, her head resting against his leg, eyes closed. Eamon played absently with her hair, twisting and untwisting the dreadlocks around his fingers. Others sat in small groups, the occasional burst of laughter breaking through the murmuring quiet.
"Fast, fast!"
The voice came from down the hall, accompanied by pounding feet. Matheus sat up as Salvatore galloped into the room, Lenya perched on his shoulders. She gripped handfuls of his hair, shaking the locks like the reins of a pony. Salvatore raced around the room, upsetting Thomas'chess board, before skidding to halt in front of the couch. He grinned at Matheus, ignoring Thomas' cursing.
"Juliet dropped her off while you were out," he said.
"Obviously," said Matheus. He looked up at Lenya. "Are you having fun?"
"Warm," said Lenya, wrapping her arms around Salvatore's head.
"It's like carrying an ice cube with legs," said Salvatore. He lifted Lenya off his shoulders, setting her on the couch beside Matheus. She snuggled up to him, her knees digging into his stomach, elbows bending in ways that seemed to violate nature.
"Oof," said Matheus, attempting to disentangle himself. "Stop that." He peeled Lenya loose and slid down the couch. She frowned at him.
"I'm cold," she said.
"Go put a sweater on," said Matheus. Now he sounded like his old nanny. Lenya looked about as pleased with his response as he had been at her age. Not that he actually knew her age. Did babysuccubae age like human children? Lenya looked about ten, but her vocal skills seemed like those of a child much younger. Salvatore dropped onto the other end of the couch. Lenya crawled into his lap, flashing Matheus a glare over her shoulder. Matheus decided he didn't care. Let Salvatore handle babysitting duty.
"Did Juliet say when she'd be coming back to feed her?" Matheus asked.
Salvatore shook his head. "She sai―"
"Fucking useless motherfuckers!" Joan slammed into the room from the top of the stairs with the force of a Category 5 hurricane. She spotted Matheus, and zoomed toward him, a stray flap of her arms sending Thomas' reset chessboard flying.
"Gods curse it!" Thomas shouted as Jonathan (or possibly John) knelt to scoop up the fallen pieces.
Joan ignored him. She planted herself in front of Matheus, hands balled in fists at her hips.
"I can't fucking work with―"
"Milo," said Matheus, pointing down the hall.
"―these goddamn fuckers who―what?"
"Milo's in charge of the complaints department," said Matheus. "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be able to resolve any issues you may be experiencing."
He gave Joan a bland smile and wiggled his finger toward Milo's room.
"Since fucking when?" demanded Joan.
"Since I've had a long, terrible night and I'm cranky and don't want to deal with it," said Matheus.
Salvatore snorted.
"When aren't you cranky?" asked Eamon without looking up from his book.
"When aren't you?" asked Matheus.
"Eamon isn't cranky," said Gwen in a drowsy voice. "He's Irish."
"That's just fan-fucking-tastic, but how the fuck―?" said Joan.
"Milo," said Matheus. "Go on."
With a dark look, Joan stomped toward the hallway, stopping short as Freddie appeared.
"Who the hell are you?" she asked, looking up at him.
"That's Freddie," said Matheus. "He's new."
"If you fucking bite me, I'll cut your balls off," said Joan, waving her finger in Freddie's face. Freddie opened his mouth to reply, but Joan didn't wait. Muttering to herself, she disappeared down the hall.
Freddie stood frozen in the doorway. All movement in the living room stilled, all gazes turning toward him. His spine stiffened as he took in the people scattered around the room, his eyes darting from one potential threat to another.
"Freddie," said Matheus, waving his arm.
Freddie's gaze snapped to him. He marched across the room to Matheus, taking a seat at his feet. Curling his lip, Freddie sent a glower around the room.
Thomas rose, his chess game forgotten. He started toward the couch, but Matheus shook his head, mouthing the word later. The last thing Matheus needed was Thomas going all small-town sheriff on Freddie. He'd already taken one freezing cold shower; he didn't want to take a second one. Also, they'd managed to keep the furniture blood-free for this long. Matheus wanted to continue that trend.
Thomas didn't look happy, but he returned to his seat without comment. He made a show of resetting the chess pieces, but kept glancing at the couch. Matheus didn't know what he expected. For Freddie to go insane and start slobbering over everyone? They outnumbered him twelve-to-one. Freddie might have poor impulse control, but that didn't mean he had no sense.
Lenya leaned across the couch, the dark holes of her eyes boring into Freddie. She crawled out of Salvatore's lap, and laid a hand on Freddie's cheek. He jumped, then growled. Lenya beamed at him.
"Warm," she said, leaping into his lap. She snuggled against his chest, rubbing her cheek on Matheus' borrowed sweater.
Freddie looked up at Matheus, his eyes and arms wide. Hesitantly, he pulled at Lenya, but she slapped at his hands and wiggled closer.
"So warm," she sighed.
"I think you've been replaced," said Matheus, looking at Salvatore.
"Women," said Salvatore, with a shrug.
Gwen opened her eyes, giving him a look that promised retribution. Salvatore laughed.
"Matheus." Brianne hovered in the hallway entrance. "Alistair is asking for you." She looked at Freddie, her eyebrows drawn together. "Is that―?"
"He is," said Matheus. He rose and so did Freddie, Lenya still clinging to him. "Salvatore, can you…?" he paused, trying to find the most diplomatic phrase. "Can you show Freddie around? Introduce him to everyone?"Make sure he doesn't go on a maiming spree?he added to himself. "And keep an eye on Lenya? Please."
"Sure," said Salvatore. He gave Freddie a grin. Slowly, holding Lenya, Freddie sank onto the couch.
Matheus felt a twinge of sympathy for him. He knew what being thrown into a mad, alien world felt like. Beneath the air of defiance, signs of distress and confusion kept peeking through. Matheus wanted to tell him everything would be okay, but he'd never been that good a liar. Instead, he left Freddie to Salvatore, whom nothing seemed to faze. Maybe he'd be able to help convince the others, and calm Freddie down in the process. If not… Matheus decided to think about that later. At the moment, he had other things to worry about.
"How is he?" Matheus asked. He stood at the foot of Quin's makeshift bed. Alistair had gathered as many spare sleeping bags as possible, setting up in a small unused room near the back of the basement.
"He's sleeping," said Alistair, pulling a blanket over Quin's chest. "I gave him something for the pain. Not that he complained much." He sighed, rubbing his arm over his forehead. "His ankle's sprained, and you probably dislocated his shoulder dragging him around. There's a lump on his head, but nothing serious, I think. A minor concussion, maybe, but it's hard to tell when he's…" Alistair waved a hand at Quin. "You know. Some bruising, but nothing internal, I think. You must have broken his fall."
"Yeah," said Matheus. "He's okay, though?"
"At the moment." Alistair's gaze followed Matheus as he knelt on the other side of Quin. His lips pressed tight together, and he looked away as Matheus laid his hand on Quin's chest.
Even through the blanket, Matheus felt the warmth of body heat. His hand rose and fell with each soft breath. He studied Quin's face, the tiny shifts of expression, the flickering movements beneath his eyelids. He wondered if Quin dreamt of his old life. The hollow feeling expanded in his chest, accompanied by a yearning so strong, Matheus felt as though a rope had been tied around his heart. He wanted Quin back, his Quin. Demanding, and aggravating, and clever, and strangely alive. Matheus wanted all-out screaming matches; he wanted Quin to throw him against a wall and do everything that made Matheus shiver with aching need. The intensity of want shook through his bones, and filled him with a terror he'd never known before. Matheus' hand clutched at the blanket. He ducked his head, blinking rapidly, trying to coax back the tears.
"Are you sure about this?" Alistair asked, his voice soft. "What if you turn him and he's the same?"
Matheus inhaled. He pulled his hand away, folding his fingers together. He squeezed, feeling the bones bend beneath his skin.
"He can't stay like this," he said, staring down at his hands.
"No," said Alistair. "I suppose not." An odd note caught in his voice, one that Matheus had heard before.
"Alistair?" Matheus looked up. "What…?" Words slipped away at the sight of Alistair's expression. Matheus felt the dizzying sense of déjà vu, a jarring familiarity. Not because he'd seen that look directed at him before, but because he'd felt it. He felt it just then, when he looked at Quin.
"I―" Alistair swallowed hard.
No, thought Matheus.
"I love you," said Alistair.

This Feb. 14 is the three-year anniversary of when I went into debt buying my girlfriend presents on Valentine's Day.
The gifts were nothing extraordinary.
Flowers. Chocolates. Books. All run-of-the-mill niceties.
But added together, I broke the bank -- possibly the only thing nearly as tough to fix as a broken heart.
I used my credit card to pay for the romantic gestures. This means I really didn't pay for them until my Visa bill showed up in the mail.
Then it was Ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner for many days thereafter.
And as anyone who's eaten Ramen noodles for more than two meals straight can tell you, it should be avoided whenever possible.
Love is a strong emotion, arguably the strongest. Cupid's arrows -- though outdated artillery -- still pack a punch.
But despite what popular culture insistently tells us, love does not have to be expensive.
I remember a jewelry advertisement from several years back that summed up the crazed consumer culture of the last few decades.
The ad's message was: Buy her something she wants, not what you can afford.
What a mind-boggling idea.
If I cannot afford something, isn't that exactly what I shouldn't be buying? Do significant others really want us to make such bad decisions all in the name of affection?
As we wade through the financial mess, caused in part by sub-prime mortgage lending, this advertisement sticks in my mind.
It reminds me of the attitude of many people I know, and many people I see rummaging the aisles at local stores.
Consumers want things they can't afford. And not being able to afford these things won't keep consumers from buying them.
I am single this Valentine's Day.
I know. Poor me.
But the splendid upside is that I won't feel compelled to spend money I don't have. No romantic interest means no Ramen noodles in the near future.
Many people can't say the same thing.
Local figures do not exist, but if national surveys are any guide, people will be dropping tons of money this weekend on their sweeties.
According to the National Retail Federation's 2008 Valentine's Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, consumers will spend on average about $123 on Valentine's Day.
That's on average.
We can only presume some people will spend amounts that make $123 pale in comparison.
The boost this will provide the stagnant economy aside, this means some lovesick residents will likely spend beyond their means.
It doesn't have to be so.
Funcoast is chock full of cheaper alternatives to swiping the credit card until the wrist is sore.
There's a Valentine's Day hike at 10 a.m. Saturday at Old Woman Creek in Huron. A lovey-dovey stroll through the woods is a great way to put you in the appropriate mood for the occasion.
Another cheap date begins at 1 p.m. Saturday in Fremont.
Horse-drawn sleigh and carriage rides are being offered at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center. Admission is $3, weather permitting.
And all over Sandusky there are dinners, parties and social functions that do not require huge financial investments.
Why say with luxury gifts what you can say with a hike, horse-drawn carriage or pleasant meal?

Charges have been dropped against a 16-year old girl for the car accident that critically injured her little sister last January.
Hallie Collett was dropping her sister Brielle off at Hayes Middle School on an icy Nixon Road in Grand Ledge when she lost control and crashed into a school bus.
Hallie will get a two-point traffic ticket for the crash, despite not being cited when it happened.
Her mom, Joli, told me Brielle is getting better and will be coming home permanently August 23 but will still need therapy.

continues to smoke (Monden et al., 2003; Murray et al., 1995; Osier and Prescott, 1998). VA employees, including union employees, may not have health-insurance coverage for prescription tobacco-cessation medications and may have to pay for both over-the-counter NRTs and prescription medications themselves whereas veterans can receive both types of medications as a covered benefit.
Recommendation: The VA should assess the costs and benefits that might result from providing tobacco-cessation medications to partners of veterans and to nonveteran VA employees. Medications might be offered free of charge or at cost to the VA.
Ensuring the quality of all VA health programs is a continuing task and one that requires constant surveillance to determine what programs and policies are working and what should be done to correct the ones that are not. VA has used quality measurements and performance standards for many years but has not integrated them into an evaluation process that helps it to meet its goal of providing veterans with high-quality health care (Rosenheck, 2006). An assessment of performance does not necessarily result in improvement unless problems are addressed (Fink, 2005).
VA conducts periodic internal surveys of veterans' health, for example, the 2005 Survey of Veteran Enrollees' Health and Reliance upon VA with Selected Comparisons to the 1999–2003 Surveys. The surveys provide information on how many veterans use tobacco and how tobacco use varies by socioeconomic status, public and private insurance, health status, enrollee priority group, and VISN. That information is designed to assist VA decision-makers in policy development and strategic planning. The most recent survey shows that about 22% of veterans enrolled in the VA health service use tobacco (VA, 2006a). Evaluation programs can help VA in determining which of its programs have been most effective in helping various populations of veterans to cease tobacco use.

Let the incessant use of smilies begin!!
I think working 10 Christmas' straight and doing the job I was doing at the time when all around was merriment and even the people I was working with could go home and enjoy at least some of the day whilst I was left alone with a mouldy cheese sandwich and a total inability to do my job properly as all the support staff would just say 'its christmas' has left me feeling very bitter about it; I hate that the job has done that to me as it used to be my favourite time of year
Deb we have a shop up the road that has loads of "proper" advent calendars. I'll pop in and get one for you tomorrow. :thumbs-up:
Ann hope the back pain is easing by now.

[caption id="attachment_20878" align="alignleft" width="199"] Artemio Reyes[/caption]
Artemio Reyes Jr. (16-2, 12 KOs) returns to the ring Friday night when he faces John David Charles (7-5, 1 KOs) in a welterweight fight in the main event of Thompson Boxing Promotions' New Blood show. The fight card will take place at the OMEGA Products International (1681 California Avenue, Corona, 92881).
Tickets are priced at $75, 45 and 30. Call 714-935-0900 for more information. First bell rings at 7:30 pm.
Thompson Boxing recently caught up with Reyes, who is from San Bernardino. He is seven questions with Artemio Reyes.
What do you know about your opponent?
I know that he is a southpaw and that he is the first lefty that I am facing as a professional. He just got kayoed by Macho Camacho Jr. on a fight way above his weight division. I also know that he lost to my stablemate Jhon Ortega but know that Charles is a rugged guy.
How is it training for a fighter with the opposite stance as yours?
I feel good training for a fight against a southpaw fighter. I feel it's important to get used to facing one because there are a lot of lefties training at the gym and there are so many more out there on a professional level that I eventually will encounter.
What kind of work do you do at the gym?
We're working on the footing. Keeping my left foot outside of his right foot. That will help me stay away from his left hand.

Madrid, Spain
My Rating
If you are trying to fit in as much as possible in a short period of time Toledo Half-Day is completely recommended. You will visit the main landmarks and if you are an art enthusiast you will appreciate el Greco's Museum and famous painting Burial of the Count of Orgaz. The tour is quite rushed for it takes just as long to get there from Madrid as the actual time spent in the town. If you have time on your trip I would recommend the full day.
Madrid, Spain
My Rating
Recommended for the inhibited who are uncomfortable bar hoping alone. We did get a great overview of the city but not worth the unexpected additional expense. The first bar was covered by this voucher the other 4 came out of the group's pocket.
Madrid, Spain
My Rating
This was an amazing full day tour. Highly recommend the traditional lunch. We were lucky enough to have a group of tourist from all over the world and had great conversations.
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating
It was a broad overview market and city. It came short to my expectations. Not enough time at each stop.

Great mattress
Great mattress and can't go wrong with the price.
Was This Review Helpful?
We ordered a bed on the same day and have had the bed set up for over a week waiting on the mattress. I finally called overstock to inquire about the mattress today and had to talk to 3 different people before finally speaking with the logistics company that is actually delivering the bed. they can't deliver for 3 more days and told me I can come pick it sooner. RIDICULOUS!!!! If I had gone to a local mattress store I would have had the mattress the next day.

Great mattress - sleep well
Sleep much better now - no more back aches, great value for the price and the delivery was timely and right onto the bed frame!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? As expected
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Wonderful! Lives up to the Simmons reputation!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Perfect

Voices Against Brain Cancer Commends Brain Cancer Survivor For His Positive Outlook
Voices Against Brain Cancer, an organization dedicated to brain cancer research and advocacy, commends brain cancer survivor, Anthony Hale, for remaining positive throughout his battle with brain cancer.
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 08, 2013
On June 8, Voices Against Brain Cancer, an organization dedicated to brain cancer research and awareness, shares the inspiring story of Anthony Hale, who recently went into remission from Brain Cancer and is working to encourage hope and positivity in others.
An article from The Western Front tells the story of a young man named Anthony Hale who, after "two rounds of 5-day in-patient chemotherapy and a month and a half of radiation," is cancer-free. Hale´s cancer diagnosis came at the age of 21 in September 2009 when his doctor found a tumor in the pineal region of the brain, making him just one of the 0.001 percent of people who get tumors in that location and of that size. Throughout surgeries, therapies and the recovery process, he "never complained. He showed an extreme amount of courage and strength," says his grandmother, Kanda Hale.
Anthony´s experience with cancer changed his life and perspective, and helped him to find a new passion — making hip-hop songs. His friend Cameron Harris says that is music is a "a grateful tone and attitude, a celebration of life — an honest evaluation of things that are happening." He has performed at a number of local venues and seeks to inspire others who are going through the same experience. He has also chosen to follow a career path in occupational therapy. "I feel like that and music are my calling in life," he says. "Those are both ways I can use things that have happened to me to help people."
Michael Klipper, chairman of Voices of Against Brain Cancer, an organization dedicated to brain cancer research and advocacy, says that Hale is an inspiring individual. "He fought against brain cancer and came out on the other side ready to do good things for others," he says. "We hope that his music and words are able to reach others going through the same struggle, and that they will find the same positivity and passion."
VABC has a wide variety of initiatives in place for brain cancer research, awareness and support. The organization´s research grants fund cutting-edge research programs that will have a monumental impact on the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer. VABC currently funds research at several esteemed institutions such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, John Hopkins, Memorial Sloan-Kettering and Yale, to name a few.
VABC's mission is to find a cure for brain cancer by advancing scientific research, increasing awareness within the medical community and supporting patients, their families and caregivers afflicted with this devastating disease.

But with two years left on this collective bargaining agreement, some owners are livid about salary cap circumvention and the high cost of players of Ryan's age. With restricted free agency, salary arbitration and regular free agency, there is deep sentiment toward a payroll slowdown.
The new union chief is an old name: Don Fehr, who led the baseball players through the 1994 lockout but subsequently signed two agreements without a work stoppage. Fehr violently resisted a salary cap in baseball, but hockey already has one and he has drawn, or at least voiced, no conclusions about it.
The owners locked out the players for the entire '04-'05 season and declared victory. There is little reason to believe they will be more reticent this time.
So file that away when you start calculating the effect of long hockey contracts.
Ryan has scored 66 goals the past two years and is a combined plus-22. He averaged 18½ minutes last year and said he is not coming to camp to lose weight this time, as in the past.
He also recognized the "overwhelming sense of calm" that the retired Scott Niedermayer brought to the chamber, and says he'll have to find ways to lead.
"We'll be competitive," he said. "We'll be underdogs. I think that's a good place for us."
Certainly the Ducks can match nuclei with most teams, but often you make or miss the playoffs because of your third line and your third defensive pair. That's where the questions live.
Joffrey Lupul's disk problems have morphed into a blood infection, and there is no telling when or if he will play this year.
At least one rookie, Luca Sbisa, will be on defense, and first-round pick Cam Fowler will be given a shot. If Fowler can hold up physically – and hold up forwards from turning the corner – he might be difficult to send back to junior hockey in Windsor, particularly since he has conquered all worlds there.
Upstairs, the Ducks arrive with little box-office momentum. No playoffs last year, no economic recovery this year. No Niedermayer, either.
But there is Teemu Selanne, as always, and there is the best young line in all of hockey, a Dotted Line with a lot of chapters to write. And no deadline.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Hidden Hôtel
28 rue de l'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 17th Arr. (Parc Monceau/Place Clichy)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
You would think the first rule of establishing a truly hidden hotel would be: Don't put a sign over the door that says "Hidden Hotel." But some allowances must be made, we suppose, for the necessity of commerce — and even with that sign over the door, the Hidden Hotel is practically invisible compared to the ostentation with which the typical Parisian hotel announces itself.
This one, by contrast, is tucked away behind a weathered wood façade, right around the way from the Arc de Triomphe. Inside it's more of the same, with unfinished wood and stone making up the bulk of the décor, and gauzy earth-toned muslin for a softening effect. Safe to say it's not at all the style one expects from a Parisian boutique hotel, and that's most definitely a good thing.
Which is certainly not to say that all your expectations will go unsatisfied. The rooms, unfinished-looking or not, come with the must-haves, including big flat-panel wall-mounted televisions and king-sized beds. And if there's no restaurant (we mean that rhetorically; there's no restaurant) then you can chalk it up to the concept — a hotel is one thing, but there's no keeping a restaurant hidden in Paris.

What I liked:
We really enjoyed the room's rough-hewn floors and gauzy curtain around the bed. The room was very small, but well enough designed that we didn't feel cramped. Of course, we're New Yorkers, so we're used to living in tight quarters!
What the hotel could do better:
We really had a wonderful, albeit brief, stay at the Hidden Hotel. We would certainly consider returning to it next time we're in Paris.

10 worst things a teacher can do
- You forgot one, using the words "I don't care". It does not matter about the scenario, these three words can destroy relationships, trust etc.
- —Guest Danny Van Vliet
She has committed all 10!
- Amazingly enough my son's 4th grade teacher is guilty of all these things! She is the worst teacher my husband or I have ever encountered. We have complained to the principal about her, but he protects her. We have complained to the superintendent, and nobody will do a thing about this God-awful so-called teacher. Not only is she guilty of all ten of the things in this article, she also attempts to teach the children in her class about "proper nutrition" which is hilarious, since she weighs about 400 pounds!
- —Guest Mrs.S
the real teacher
- The worst thing a facilitator can do is 'TO BECOME UNTEACHABLE'.
- —Guest mr.tanio
- A teacher who forgets that he/she is a role model, and practises what he/she doesn't preach is the worst thing a trained teacher can offer to the learners.
- —Guest Bernard Ochan
Late Work
- I enjoy and share a lot of the information you provide. Thank you for this awesome resource. However, I would like to encourage you and others to reconsider your position on late work. I have found tons of research validating the academic benefits if accepting late work without grade reductions, etc but no research to support these opposite practices. What do our grades represent? Percentage of mastery obtained? Or do grades measure behavioral expectations met? Graded assignments should be the students' demonstration of mastery level and be used to inform the teacher what instruction is needed next. Instead of concentrating on students learning the content (using best practices for planning, instruction, and assessment) many teachers are focused on the false assumption that they are preparing students for the next level. I encourage you to investigate the "Power of I" research out of the SREB and the book, "The Power of ICU" by Hill and Nave.
- —Guest Sam Rhodes
Can I Rebuild that Bridge?
- Just two days ago, I made a terrible teacher mistake that I have regretted every minute since I realized that it was the worst thing to do in that situation. My students were unusually rowdy during class, talking and fidgeting. There were marvelous moments during the lesson when they were truly engaged and asked brilliant questions that I was thrilled to explain. But I was ready to collapse after our hour and a half was up, because I was exhausted from telling students to quiet down and free their hands to eliminate distractions. So I ended class by letting them know how disappointed I was in their inattentiveness, specifically one student whom I pointed out by name. He immediately looked at me with helpless eyes, tried to explain that he was telling his peers to stop distracting him, and then sunk his head down like a dog hides his tail in shame. Indeed, humiliating students is the WORST thing a teacher can do to discipline them. This situation was particularly harmful.

Man freed after four hours in grain bin
All Points Cooperative employee trapped in soybeans.
After a four-hour rescue Wednesday, an All Points Cooperative employee walked away from a bin where he was trapped in soybeans.The man, Rick Frickenstein, was taken to Gothenburg Memorial Hospital for observation but didn't appear to have injuries, according to assisant Gothenburg rescue captain Mike Wagner.
Frickenstein apparently was near the bottom of the bin trying to unplug an auger when he became engulfed in grain.
Wagner said Frickenstein called for help on a cell phone and the Gothenburg rescue crew arrived about 9:30 a.m.
Crew members used climbing gear to get to the man who was immobilized up to his armpits, rescue officials said.
They shoved plywood around Frickenstein to remove pressure from the grain, strapped webbing around his chest with a rope and began vacuuming out the grain.
Frickenstein was freed about 1:30 p.m.

- String
- Use a circle stencil (or bottom of a tin can) to trace circles and cut. Each globe contains 7 circles. (the more the merrier!) we cut three different size circles to create dimension in our paper chain. Fold each circle in half. Select two folded circles, use any type of adhesive (we used a tape runner) and glue two flat sides together. Repeat until you get to the last circle you need to glue. Place string in the middle of the circles before you glue the last one on, then glue the last circle on to form a ball.
- Repeat steps one through four until you have string of paper globes!

More tablet/netbook hybrids on the way, but what to call them?
January 29, 2011 | 6:24 pm
By Chris Meadows
Plenty of hybrid tablet/laptop devices are on their way. Dan Ackerman on CNet reports on four prototypes that were shown at CES—tablets with keyboards that flip out from behind, or slide out of hidden slots, and so on. These could offer the benefit of tablets for easy reading and net surfing, then turn into full-fledged Windows netbooks with keyboards when more physical input is needed.
Ackerman wonders what the best name for such a device would be, however. "What should one call a tablet with a sliding or foldout keyboard? A laptab? A keylet? A tabtop? A keyvertible?"
The manufacturers may well answer this question on their own—perhaps in as many different ways as there are manufacturers. I'd be inclined to suggest "tabbook" or "tabletbook". But computer manufacturers never ask me these things.
