> Eternal Nightmare
(OOC: This topic takes place during Loracs nightmare that entrapped Silvanesti. Not much is said about Silvanesti during this time period with the exception of the beginning of the nightmare and the end of the nightmare . Lets see what could happen while the elves battle away to rid the land of the evils of Loracs nightmare. Of course this mission is meant to fail, but we can have a little fun before our characters die. We cant lift the curse, that privilage is left to my inspiration, Raistlin.)
Langulund stood on a hill overlooking the city of Silvanesti. The view was hideous. The trees bled and were contorted into grotesque forms that made a tear come to his eye. The wildlife had been killed off, or mutated just as badly as the trees. And in the center of it all, the Tower of the Stars, the source of the plague of the land. From this place originated Loracs nightmare, the king who destroyed the world in which Langulud lived his whole life. He could remember when the land was not like this, Silvanesti was beautiful then. But now his only hope was to fight plague with his greatest weapon...magic.
Langulund Strongtree was not as old as he seemed, the years of fighting this curse had left him tired, but not without hope. A few wrinkles marred his face, unheard of by an elf of two hundred years, but his long beautiful silver hair and his deep sapphire eyes showed his age better than the rest of his body.
When the nightmare hit, Langulund was one of the few mages in Silvanesti who had been permitted to take the test at the Tower of High Sorcery, this made him a great asset to the elves. At the time, his magic was rivaled only by King Loracs, but now over years of full usage he was much more powerful. He could cast a spell without even thinking of the words, they just came to him. He was now a general among his people, but he was growing tired of fighting the curse, whenever he cleared an area the curse just came back and destroyed the land again. He knew what he had to do, he had to assault the Tower of the Stars and wake Lorac from the nightmare.
Pulling his sword from its sheath, Langulund walked slowly down the hill towards the city he once loved. He had to kill the dragon,Cyan Bloodbane, and free the land from this evil.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
OOC: sure Im up to it....ok...lets see.
BIC: Silar frowned, and brushed her silver hair away from her violet eyes. She fought down the tears and the sobs that threatened to choke her. "CYAN!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!" She screamed out her pain, the pain of the trees coursed through her....through her blood of all her house...the house of the woodshapers. "I WILL DESTROY YOU....OR DIE TRYING!!" she screamed again.may all those lost in the tragedy of 9-11-01 forever remiain in our hearts...
Goddess Bless! ;)
OOC: Now THIS seems like fun. Gifan is a kender
Gifan had wandered all through the dreadful forest wondering what had went wrong. "Hmmm this looks interesting." Picking up a dead bird he sighed, "poor bird..........what is going on here?" Deciding he could spend a whole just investigating he kept on his way. Hearing the scream of a woman he turned hurridley in that direction.The magic of the mind is within you all. Do you have the power to harness it?
Langulund heard the scream and went running in its direction. There he saw a female elf, a beautiful sight in this horrendous forest. "Dear lady, what ever is wrong? Did you see something?" Just as he approached her a creature jumped out of the bushes and attacked him. It looked as if it was a wolf at one time, but its features were twisted like everything else in the forest. It had six legs that were all as long as a humans, and its fangs were nearly a foot long reaching out of its mouth, dripping with saliva that seemed to burn the ground. Langulund pulled out his sword and lashed at the beasts head. It leapt back a few feet and charged him. The creatures weight pushed Langulund to the ground, and it had him pinned, its saliva burning the skin on his face. "That is enough beast." He growled at the creature. A bright flash of light surged out of Lang's hands and fired through the beast leaving two gaping holes in its chest. Pushing the carcass off his body he slowly stood up and scanned the area for more beasts. There were none that he could detect and he again approached the woman.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
Melethka scanned the horrors that were the forest of Silvanesti with startling blue eyes. Her auburn hair flew in a sudden breeze, a cold dark breeze filled with dread. Tears filled her eyes, twisting her beautiful features with sorrow.
A scream sounded in the distance and all the sadness left the elven mage. Drawing twin silver scimitars, Melethka ran towards the sound just in time to see a mutilated wolf spring at a man approaching from the other direction. Melethka broke into a run but she feared she would be too late. A flash of light ended the battle suddenly, much to the mage's relief. She watched the man go to the woman, the one who had presumably screamed. Approaching with the silence of her namesake, Melethka pulled her red robes around her and walked towards the pair. Good becomes ignorant.
Evil turns on itself.
The Balance must be maintained.
Langulund felt the presence of another mage nearby and he turned around and motioned her forward. "Now that some people have arrived, I hope the two of you could assist me somewhat. I need to get into the Tower of the Stars and destroy that dragon. If we dont our efforts to restore the forest will all be in vain. I hope the two of you could help me to defeat him." With that Langulund patiently awaited their responses.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
Melethka sheathed her twin blades and bowed to the mage.
"The Order of Melethka is at your disposal." She said with a wry smile, as if at a secret joke.Good becomes ignorant.
Evil turns on itself.
The Balance must be maintained.
Langulund almost completely ignored the others around him. He was still enraged from the battle with the grotesque beast he had just fought. His only goal was to kill that damned dragon, Bloodbane. He pushed his way through the perverted forest, hacking away at anything that moved with his longsword. He wanted to kill the dragon, or take out as many of his creations that he could before he would inevitably be killed himself. He was about a mile away from the castle when they attacked. The looked like elves, but they had died long since. Their bodies were distorted, and oozing blood from every cut and opening on their bodies. He had never seen elves infected with the nightmare, at least not whole bodies like these. They looked as if they had only been dead a few weeks, the flesh still solid on their bodies. He was shocked and in fear of what he could become if he perished here. He mustered all his courage and charged the abominations, but he knew that without help he would surely die at their hands.You cannot run from the darkness, when it comes to you, it will consume you.
Silar frowned, her own shock and anger at what had happened to her beloved homeland, had unfocused her mind. her violet eyes focused once more, then ran after Langulund. She stopped in shock as she saw the distorted nighmarish creatures that where attacking them. She cried out and charged them herself, drawing her sword and dagger. She would not allow another Elf die alone in this cursed place."The world is not enough, but it is such a perfect place to start"
"No one ever died from wanting too much"
"theres no point in living if you can't feel alive"
"If we can't have it all...then nobody will"
-James Bond-The world is not enough-
((OOC: Hm? ....Oh, are we continuing? Yay.))
Melethka ran next to Silar, drawing her twin scimitars from her belt. She moved automatically to brush her red robes back into place for the fight and then frowned when she realized she was wearing the clothes of a ranger to her normal red. Sighing, she looked ahead to the battle, her blue eyes weary.
"Any idea how to kill these things?" she muttered to Silar, staring defiently at the monstrosities as she stood in between her two fellow elves and adopted a battle stance.
((OOC: I'm going to change what I said before and say that Melethka is not wearing her robes. That way, she can be revealed later as a red robe and elves don't like red robes...k?))Good becomes ignorant.

(OOC: I started this one back up to see if anyone would bite, and I guess it was a good idea. Thank you Kalia and Starlite for helping. Now back to the chaos >:).)
Langulund was not afraid anymore, mainly because his fellow elves were pulling together to fight this horrible plague. He raised his sword high and brought it down on one of the creatures heads, and it easily cleaved the monsters head in two. "Their bodies are softer than normal due to their decomposed state. Just swing hard and youll have no problems fighting them." Another one approached him and grabbed his arm, its nails digging deep into his flesh. Langulund watched the creature as it tried to drink the blood from his arm. "You will never drink from me you foul beast." he screamed at it. Before it could drink he brought his sword around and sliced its body in two, right through its torso. It fell lifelessly to the ground next to its fellow. "Only a couple more to go."

Sports Writer
Every sport is a game of runs, in one way or another. Unfortunately for the Liberty girls volleyball team, runs cost them dearly.
The Patriots played tough with the visiting Marysville Monarchs, but Marysville made key runs in all three games and finished with a 25-20, 25-17, 25-15 Ohio Capital Conference Central Division win Thursday night at Liberty High School.
Liberty (3-2, 2-1 OCC Central) seemed to be the aggressor early in the first two games, but Marysville (6-4, 2-1) would use its service and Patriot errors to take control, and opened the third game with a huge run to dig Liberty a hole it could not climb out of.
The Patriots had an early 6-3 lead in the first game, helped by kills from junior hitters Shelby Stewart and Lauren Hofer as well as four Marysville errors, and held a 12-10 lead late in the first rotation following two strong serves, one for an ace, by junior Hayley Kelly.
Marysville took the lead briefly near the end of the rotation, but a service error tied the game at 13-all. After the teams traded kills, Marysville got the serve back on a service error, and the Monarchs' Veronica George served the next five points, four on aces, to put the visitors out front to stay.
Liberty closed within two points, 21-19, helped by a kill from freshman hitter Maddie Fogg, but Marysville won three of the next four points to take the first game.
The Patriots trailed early in game two, but used a pair of kills from junior Lauren Burke to rally back to tie the game at five. Marysville regained the lead after that, using a pair of three-point runs to keep the Patriots at arm's length, but Liberty twice rallied within a point, 8-7 and 12-11, in the first rotation to keep things close.
Near the end of the rotation, however, Marysville made its run, with Monica Miller going 5 for 6 on service with two aces and Emily Bucklin adding a pair of kills that helped the Monarchs to an 18-11 lead. Liberty closed within five points twice afterward, with Fogg, Burke and Hofer recording kills, but could not close the gap.
Marysville's run in game three came early. The Monarchs scored the first three points then, after a side out, regained the lead on a Bucklin kill. George then served the next nine points, helped by five kills more from Bucklin, and the Monarchs pulled out to a 13-1 lead.
Liberty chipped away at the deficit slowly, getting a kill from Stewart and an ace from Kelly to stop the run, and kills from sophomore Madison Brenner, Burke and Fogg, but the visitors still led 20-7 after the first rotation.
Fogg served three straight points with an ace and Hofer added a kill to trim the lead back to 10, and a side out plus a Stewart kill helped the Patriots stave off match point for a while.
On the final point, Stewart looked to have another strong kill that would have cut the deficit to single digits, but the chair umpire ruled a net violation on the play, giving the match to Marysville.
Hofer led the team with nine kills with Fogg adding five and Stewart and Burke four each. Fogg also topped the team with 15 assists, while Brenner and Kelly added a pair of aces each. Fogg, Burke and sophomore Summer Mack also had one block each for Liberty.
Bucklin topped all hitters with 17 kills and five blocks for Marysville. Anna McNabb had a game-high 17 assists, and George finished with a game-leading seven aces.

Rubber-based industries in the State are in a spot of bother as arrival of natural rubber (NR) has dropped to about 10 per cent of normal levels following incessant rain over the last 45 days. The Rubber Board will convene a meeting of all stake-holders on Wednesday in Kottayam to review the situation.
A senior official of the board said on Monday that the situation was quite bad. Rubber-based industries, led by Automotive Tyre Manufacturers' Association (ATMA), have appealed for an immediate solution.
Vice-president of Indian Rubber Dealers' Federation Jose Mamparambil said farmers had exhausted all stocks. Even those who oversold the stock, expecting to start rubber once the rain relented, are in trouble.
A communication to the Rubber Board by ATMA, which holds the lion's share in the Rs.60,000-crore per year rubber-based industry, said the situation was critical with rain not allowing the tapping of rubber since June. The level of consumption continued at levels of last year though production had dipped considerably, the ATMA note said.
The communication expressed concern that production in June may have dropped to between 35,000 tonnes and 40,000 tonnes against the Rubber Board estimate of 64,000 tonnes. NR production in June 2012 was 62,000 tonnes.
ATMA director general Rajiv Budhraja was quoted in a press release saying that since the Rubber Board estimated a reserve of 2.6 lakh tonnes of NR in the country, the scarcity situation should not have arisen. He appealed to the board to address the issue. The Rubber Board estimate was that there were 1.1 lakh tonnes of NR with stockists and dealers and 86,000 tonnes with the farmers at the end of March 2013, the ATMA official said.
Figures released by the Rubber Board for the month of June 2013 showed that rubber production decreased 12.9 per cent compared to the same month in 2012. Actual production slowed to 54,000 tonnes compared to 62,000 tonnes. At the same time, consumption has remained at 82,000 tonnes during June 2013 compared to the 83,000 tonnes in May 2013.
The April to June 2013 figures too are disappointing with total production of NR at 1,66,000 tonnes, down by 3.9 per cent compared to the same period in 2012. Consumption level, however, was 2,47,000 tonnes, marginally lower than the previous year period.

Music lessons for all!
Leslie Gereghty founded a Point Loma school that keeps music lessons exciting
Q: What's been your most memorable moment with music?
A: Music, quite literally, saved my life. In high school I became deeply entrenched with depression, and then drugs, but I just kept practicing. Despite poor attendance, poor grades and poor test scores, I ended up with scholarship offers to every school I applied, including full scholarships and eventually teaching fellowships. Music totally lifted me out of a really dark place and I know it can do the same for others.
Q: What is the best advice you ever received?
A: My dad always said, "Do what you love and the money will come." (Some might say I'm still waiting on the money, but I sure love what I do!)
Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?
A: I was a competitive adventure racer. Races of 12 to 24 hours included several disciplines such as mountain biking, rock climbing, trail running, orienteering, paddling and/or horseback riding. I can't wait until my girls are a little older and I can put them through the same tortures.
Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.
A: In a city that gets 300 days of sunshine a year, it seems absurd to say you live for summer, but I do! We can't wait to get to the beach, dig a water hole for our little ones to play in, and take turns boogie-boarding 'til the sun sets. Yes, I secretly wish I was a surfer. Dinner includes mojitos and calamari at The Prado. Sundays we head to church and rarely miss the opportunity for lunch and a nap at our beloved grandmom and granddad's house.
What I love about Ocean Beach . . .
The chill vibe, the beach, walking everywhere, the OB Holiday Parade, fireworks on the 4th of July and favorite places like Olive Tree Marketplace, Azucar, OB Donuts for the kids and, of course, lobster tacos at South Beach Bar & Grille.

In media interviews over the weekend, United States Defence Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have hinted at uncertainty over the duration of Western nations' involvement in the Libyan conflict.
When asked in an interview with CBS whether a lengthy military involvement implied the U.S. was again embarking on a regime-change project, Ms. Clinton said: "If we have learned anything over the past number of years, regime change is very complicated and can be very expensive and can take a long time. And so I think the key here was establishing a military mission that was achievable... on a limited period of time and it could be sustained."
Yet, in the same interview, in response to a question on Pentagon reports that the no-fly zone imposed over Libyan airspace under a United Nations resolution would last three months or more, Mr. Gates said: "I don't think anybody has any idea."
Ms. Clinton suggested there was also continuing uncertainty on whether the Western alliance would arm the rebels fighting Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi's forces. Ms. Clinton said there had been no such decision, however, the U.S. was "in contact with the rebels" and she had met with one of the leaders.
However, Ms. Clinton added that should it be deemed necessary to arm the rebels, there was legal basis to do so under the U.N. mandate, because, "There is an arms embargo against the Qadhafi regime that was established in ... Resolution 1970, which applied to the entire country. In the follow-on resolution, 1973, there is an exception if countries or organisations were to choose to use that."

The first derivative test is used to determine if a critical point is a local extremum (minimum or maximum). For any real-valued function over an interval [c − r, c + r], where f(x) is continuous at c and differentiable over the interval (except, perhaps, at c), then if there is a positive number r so that for [c − r, c] and for [c, c + r], then c is a maximum; if for [c − r, c] and for [c, c + r], then c is a minimum. The second derivative test is used to determine if a stationary point is a local extremum. If f(x) can be twice differentiated and if , x is a local maximum; if , x is a local minimum; if , x may be an inflection point.

text: Social SocialRank now helps you steal your competitor's most engaged followers Image Credit: cobalt123 May 13, 2014 8:00 AM Harrison Weber 0 SocialRank just raised $1 million to help brands connect with their most valuable fans — and steal their competitor's best followers. The firm, which launched with two billion-dollar companies on board, has since amassed 5,000 new users. On top of its funding round, New York-based SocialRank is launching a new product which enables brands to track their competitor's most engaged followers on Twitter. The tool, dubbed SocialRank Intelligence, is available now in private beta. Brands can request access here. SocialRank was built in just two months, and while the service still feels somewhat like a minimum viable product, its simplicity and Twitter-only focus stands out in the highly competitive social analysis space. And by competitive, we mean over-crowded — like a Miley Cyrus concert circa 2013. Competitors include Moz, Fruji, Markerly, Meltwater, and SocialBakers. Unsurprisingly, the competition isn't in love with Social Rank. Fruji creator Roman Mittermayr told VentureBeat back in March that SocialRank's niche focus will hold it back. Yet, SocialRank appears to have a lot going for it already, regardless of how early-stage it may be. VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing and personalization... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolinians who have recently experienced the economic and personal disruptions of Hurricane Floyd and the 1999 floods may ease their anxiety about the next natural calamity by seeking coverage from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
Residents of more than 400, or 70%, of the state's communities are eligible to buy flood insurance, and more local governments are considering enrolling in the program as a consequence of the property destruction caused by Floyd.
Over 5,500 victims of the most recent disaster have already received $122.2 million in NFIP claims to rebuild and repair their property. The move toward recovery would have been slower for many if they had recourse only to home loans or individual and family grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Flood insurance is available to anyone in any community which participates in NFIP. Those communities must agree to enact and enforce floodplain ordinances which restrict and limit growth in flood-prone areas. But it is not necessary to live in the floodplain to purchase the insurance.
Flood insurance is not expensive, costing approximately $300 for every $100,000 of coverage depending on the hazard area; and it may be purchased through a person's regular insurance agent.
Federal Coordinating Officer Carlos Mitchell encourages homeowners and renters to buy flood insurance. "Insurance provides a real safety net for all natural disasters, large and small," he said. "If you suffer flood damages, you won't have to wait for the President to declare your county a disaster area, and you won't need to be dependent on federal/state assistance programs. You merely file your insurance claim and get on with your recovery."
People living in North Carolina's 66 disaster-declared counties, whether they have flood insurance or not, still have until February 17 to register for disaster assistance. Call FEMA's recovery Hotline at 1-800-462-9029 or TTY 1-800-462-7585. Lines are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

When it comes to video game adaptations, Hollywood has really dropped the ball, creating numerous movies that we'd all like to wash from our memory. Despite this, New Regency and Ubisoft are moving forward with their highly-anticipated upcoming film, Assassin's Creed, the story of a bartender who learns he's a descendant in a long line of expert assassins.
Actor Michael Fassbender has been attached to the film as the title character, bringing with him much excitement, and earlier this week it was announced that Michael Lesslie would be the writer. If you don't know Lesslie, that's okay, nobody does. And that's because he's only written plays and short films. Although this is a bold hire for such a film, it should be noted that there has yet to be a solid video game adaptation penned by a working screenwriter. So maybe this is exactly the kind of move the film needs.
And with that, we're here to look at some other Video Games That Have Received the Movie Makeover:

4. Beets
- One of the first known uses of beets was by the ancient Romans, who used them medicinally as an aphrodisiac.
- Beets contain high levels of nitrates which increase blood flow by expanding blood vessels walls. Increased blood flow to the genital areas is one of the mechanisms Viagra and other pharmaceuticals create their effects.
- Beets also contain high amounts of boron, which is directly related to the production of human sex hormones.
- Beets have a host of other health benefits.
Tip: For lunch serve Borstch With A Difference. This soup has so many foods in it that your company will know you made it with tender loving care!
5. Garlic
- Garlic is full of allicin, another ingredient that will also increase blood flow.
- In eastern traditions monks and priests are not allowed to eat garlic (or onions) because they are particularly stimulating.
- Garlic has a host of other health benefits, many of which boost your immune system.
- The obvious trouble with this food is that unless your partner is also a garlic eater, they might not like your smell!
Tip: For dinner have Zucchini With Lots of Garlic The zuchini for some is just an excuse for all the garlic but in any case, it's a heavenly combination.
6. Exercise
- Exercise doesn't sound romantic unless it's a "moonlit walk on the beach." But it turns out, exercise is so good for the body, that it triggers romantic moods, as well.
- During vigorous activity, endorphins–the "feel good" chemicals–are released. They can feel like a rush of love.
- Exercise increases blood flow to the whole body and thus like beets and garlic, can increase moods and desire.
- Exercise and building muscle mass also usually increases testosterone levels.
Tip: Go for a walk together. What better way to deepen your love then while connecting with nature.

Kings XI Punjab captain Adam Gilchrist has thrown his weight behind the beleaguered Praveen Kumar. The India discard was recently involved in an on-field bust-up during a Corporate Trophy match and the BCCI barred him from taking part in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
When asked if he had trouble dealing with the mercurial bowler from Uttar Pradesh, Gilchrist said, "No. not at all. Personally, I have never had any trouble with Praveen as a person, as a friend or in a professional set-up as a as captain and coach. Look, every player has different qualities and different characteristics in his make-up. But I have never had issues with him. He's a passionate and really committed player on the field and that's what you want. I hope he comes out of this well."
The Aussie great also spoke about the team's decision to buy Punjab bowler Manpreet Singh Gony at the recent auction. "We just wanted to bolster, to add some value, to our Indian domestic seam bowling area (attack). We have the likes of Praveen, Parvinder Awana and a few others. So Manpreet gives us another option; he's a local (Chandigarh) boy and has some IPL experience. We are thrilled and happy to have him at Kings XI," Gilchrist said.

Pump It Up
Pump It Up's indoor inflatable arenas launch socked striplings into the air with a plethora of kid-friendly bounce pads. Staffers supervise fun-filled visits, during which adult counterparts leap around with their kids through gargantuan bounce houses, skip down air-filled slides, and slither like snakes covered in bacon grease through an inflated obstacle course.
The colorful venue also hosts custom birthday parties and private team parties, each themed to please the partygoers in question. These soirees immerse children in a schedule of interactive activities befitting a pirate or a superhero while melting off youthful energy faster than ice cubes thrown into a running DVD player. The birthday boy or girl even gets to blow out the candles on their cake seated in their blow-up throne. Occasionally, the staffers switch off the lights, arming the roomful of players with glow sticks and bracelets as they navigate the air-cushioned obstaclescape. Relying on the staffers' vigilant, watchful eyes, guardians can rest assured that their charges will stay safe, and each piece of the inflatable playground is held to the floor and ceiling by a complex series of anchors installed according to strict safety standards.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the media center at Clay High School.
The board will also discuss how to appropriate funds from a permanent improvement levy voters passed in November. The district will start collecting the revenue in January, according to Jeff Ziviski, vice president of the school board.
We have all heard the stories of families trying to make ends meet in these tough economic times. But, maybe the most shocking story to date, is that of a 23-year-old mother who almost lost her son because she was trying to stretch his baby formula.
After a work session last month Eastwood school board members have resigned themselves to the prospect of reduced funding from the state and the resulting need to cut the district's budget in the coming fiscal year.
"We are anticipating that within the next month we will see a retroactive reduction of roughly 5 percent in the amount of money we were expecting from the state," said superintendent Brent Welker in his community newsletter. "That would total around $330,000. In addition, we are planning for an additional 5 percent reduction for the fiscal year 2010 state funds. In all, we are looking at roughly $600,000 that will need to be cut from next year's budget. We hope that the cuts will not be greater than that."
Lake Township will again contract with Life Star Ambulance for emergency medical service in 2009 but won't officially sign a contract with the firm until later this month.
Life Star, which is the township's current provider of the emergency service, was the only company to submit a contract bid with the township for service next year.
Township trustees opened the bid last week but plan to review three options included in the bid and award a contract by their next regularly scheduled meeting this month.

Working late and ordered dinner at 7:00pm with an estimated delivery of 45-60. At 8:20 I called and was told it would take another 10 minutes. At 8:30 I receive a call from the driver telling me he's in the lobby of my office building...imagine my surprise when I get there only to find out he's in the wrong lobby!!! Any way, an hour and 45 minutes later short ribs & gyoza are cold and the sashimi is warm.

Sushi was great and delivery was fast! However, they forgot one of the appetizers that I ordered which was little bit of a disappointment, and which is why I won't give it four stars.

The rock is a neighborhood favorite for its happy hour discounts, and new wave music track - at home you would need to supply your own. A reliable mainstay is the "rock box" bento meal, either version #1 or #2. This covers almost anything you could want for an individual. The sashimi and sushi combo plates also offer a great value, a ton of stuff for $15-16 per person. The rolls come in bewildering variety, and two broad price ranges - $6-8, and $10-12 or up. Choice often depends on your personal taste versus the chefs idea - tempura roll, for example, comes covered with spicy tuna you like it cool, if not, something else. The dragon roll is a personal favorite. Sushi comes in the nigiri style, as well as hand rolls. Personally, people who go to a Japanese restaurant and order a pork chop (pork katsu for example) get what they deserve, ut its a matter of taste. They also have a broad range of donburi and noodle dishes for people just have to eat out of a bowl. Also a feature is the extensive (8 page) saki menu which you can get on-line orders from.

Delivery took an hour and 30 minutes. When I called to check on it, the host called the driver, who was in the process of delivering the order, and it took over 25 minutes after that call for the food to come.... which is always dicey when you order raw fish.

Took a bit of a long time to deliver, over hour 15 minutes, so the katsu curry was cold. but once I heated it up it was fine. Sushi was good, I had never had the pink wrapped kind before, that was good.

MIAMI - JANUARY 4: Running back Adrian Peterson #28 of the Oklahoma Sooners runs upfield against defensive tackle Mike Patterson #99 of the USC Trojans in the 2005 FedEx Orange Bowl National Championship on January 4, 2005 at Pro Player Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Eagles DT Mike Patterson has been diagnosed with viral pneumonia and has been hospitalized. This latest health issue has nothing to do with Patterson's recent medical history, the which required brain surgery during the offseason after suffering seizures last year. Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder assured that Patterson was "doing fine" and was in stable condition.

I agree that the Democrats are flooding the country with third world immigrants. First, to vote Democrat. Second to take all the crap jobs no one else wants, and third to keep the schools full, as...
I'm sure you could, just need some bamboo skewers.
The biggest reason "illegal" immigration hurts the US today is because we are a welfare state. All immigration is not a bad thing at all.
There are too many 1st generation immigrants here...

"A lot of people enjoyed coming out and getting a sketch from an artist," Rolow says. "From there we expanded to about five or six creators on-hand."
This year, Comics Toons N' Toys has comics' artists and writers including Dustin Nguyen, Chynna Clugston Flores and Ray-Anthony Height on hand. At Beach Ball Comics in Anaheim, comics' creators including Chris Roberson and Max Bemis will be signing.
Nuclear Comics in Laguna Niguel also plans to have artists on hand for the day. Comics Unlimited is auctioning unique prints and other merchandise donated by creators and publishers as part of a fundraiser for the Hero Initiative, which helps older comic creators in need. (Other stores around Orange County also are participating in the day in different ways. To find shops taking part close to you, visit freecomicbookday.com/storelocator.)
Rolow, who serves as event coordinator for the day at Comics Toons N' Toys, says that in many ways Free Comic Book Day has turned into a mini-festival of the comic arts, a dozen years after its founding.
"A lot of times, our customers aren't able to go to Comic-Con in San Diego anymore because it's gotten so big," he says. "So with us adding in artists, it's a way for them to come out and meet some of the artists and writers."
Bushik, at Comics Unlimited, says his shop ordered every title it could this year. (Stores buy the free books from publishers at a lower-than-wholesale price, essentially just to cover the cost of printing, Field says.) And while he expects "The Walking Dead" title to be the most popular, given the popularity of the TV series, he expects fans of every flavor to walk through the door on Saturday.
"So many other big things are tapped into by the general public," he says. "'Adventure Time,' 'Star Wars,' 'The Avengers,' 'Superman.' There's somebody out there for every book and a book out there for every person."

Angie Smith, moved to St. John from Tampa Florida over 20 years ago and has made a home on the island. She studied hospitality at both Georgia State University and The University of the Virgin Islands where she went on to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Business Management, concentrating in marketing and advertising, graduating with honors. She brings the knowledge of accounting, marketing, advertising and business skills to the company. Angie loves to travel and learn about new cultures and meet new people. She likes to cook dishes from different countries such as Trinidad, India and Italy. She enjoys trying new dishes from all over the world. She is known as 'the purple lady' since she is in love with purple-whether it's her purse or a room in her house, you will always see purple. Now as mother of five (!), Angie is one busy lady. She loves the beaches, the mountains and the year round summer on St. John and is proud of the consistent high level of quality and services her VIVA team provides our island visitors every day.
This was our second stay at Windchime with my family. Overall, the villa provides a very private location, all the comforts of home and central access to the main routes to Cruz Bay, Coral Bay and the Beaches. The villa is on top of Gifft Hill which provides stunning views of the Carribean Sea and Chocolate Hole, the high elevation provides for cooling trade winds all day long.
Villa Windchime was more than we expected, with easy access, very comfortable accomodations, and a "vacation within a vacation" atmosphere. The mountaintop setting offered cooling trade winds the entire stay and left you wanting to relax by the pool, grill steaks, and forget your worries. The location and comforts were actually a welcoming site after all day at the beach. Wildlife abound, and quiet relaxation are the norm here.....on almost 2 acres!
Windchime is located a short driving distance to the Virgin Islands National Park beaches and hiking trails. Duty free shopping and a wide array of dining options are just minutes away by Jeep rides. A typical day on St. John can be as relaxing as hanging at one of our world-famous beaches, taking a guided hike, or exploring the hiking trails on your own. There are plenty of full and half day sail and power boat charters, tours to the nearby British Virgin Islands, and fishing charters, as well as plenty of other ways to spend your vacation.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--South Korean chemical company LG Chem has bought 50,000 tonnes of naphtha for delivery in the second half of November, traders said on Thursday.
The deal for the Yeosu-bound cargo was done at a premium of $10.50/tonne (€13.50/tonne) to ?xml:namespace>
The premiums were in tandem with the amount other South Korean operators paid for their spot naphtha purchases in the week, traders said.
While the premiums have softened in the wake of rising supply, prices have stabilised because of continuous buying activity from northeast Asian cracker operators, the traders added.
In early September, LG Chem purchased a similar volume of spot naphtha for delivery in the second half of October at premiums of $18.50/tonne and $19.25/tonne to
($1 = €0.78)

Many workshop participants spoke about the need to view home visiting programs and evidence of their effectiveness in the context of the larger community of which they are a part. As stated by Deborah Daro, of the National Center on Child Abuse and Prevention Research in Chicago, Illinois, and an evaluator of the Healthy Families America program, "home visiting is a portal, [which can and should be used] to introduce families to broader systems of support." It is not unusual for the same program implemented in different sites to yield different effects, indicating the significant role played by the many factors that impinge on a given program in a given neighborhood.
A home visiting program that exists in a community with other quality intervention programs and services to support it will be better able to help families and demonstrate success. Similarly, families that live in a supportive and financially stable environment may be better able to benefit from what home visiting programs have to offer. As observed by Gina Barclay-McLaughlin, of the Chapin Hall Center for Children in Chicago, Illinois, parents seem to think differently about their interactions with their children when they move from a financially depressed area to a more affluent community, and they may be more likely to put into practice the information they learned earlier from home visitors.
The embeddedness of home visiting programs has not been examined carefully, nor explicitly considered as a crucial feature of program design. Yet growing awareness of the importance of this broader context in determining program success may serve to reframe how both program designers and evaluators consider the place and role of home visitation approaches to service delivery.
The role of the home visitor in linking families to other services in the community is extremely important, and one that other approaches to intervention do not necessarily fulfill. This is especially true when a family is dealing with mental health issues, such as maternal depression, substance abuse, or domestic violence. Carrilio described a new concept in home visiting programs that institutionalizes and facilitates case management services. In this design, the home visitor is the main point of contact with the family and is supported by a multidisciplinary group called the Family Support Team. This team is composed of a variety of specialists, including but not limited to, a nurse, a mental health specialist, a substance abuse specialist, and a child development specialist. These specialists often accompany home visitors on home visits and are available to home visitors as a resource. One advantage to this arrangement is that it helps put issues such as substance abuse in the forefront of home visitors ' minds. Because the families get to know the entire team, it is also one way of providing continuity for the families despite the high turnover of home visitors.

Estimating cost-effectiveness in public health: a summary of modelling and valuation methods
- Kevin Marsh,
- Ceri J Phillips,
- Richard Fordham,
- Evelina Bertranou,
- Janine Hale
- … show all 5 hide
It is acknowledged that economic evaluation methods as they have been developed for Health Technology Assessment do not capture all the costs and benefits relevant to the assessment of public health interventions. This paper reviews methods that could be employed to measure and value the broader set of benefits generated by public health interventions. It is proposed that two key developments are required if this vision is to be achieved. First, there is a trend to modelling approaches that better capture the effects of public health interventions. This trend needs to continue, and economists need to consider a broader range of modelling techniques than are currently employed to assess public health interventions. The selection and implementation of alternative modelling techniques should be facilitated by the production of better data on the behavioural outcomes generated by public health interventions. Second, economists are currently exploring a number of valuation paradigms that hold the promise of more appropriate valuation of public health interventions outcomes. These include the capabilities approach and the subjective well-being approach, both of which offer the possibility of broader measures of value than the approaches currently employed by health economists. These developments should not, however, be made by economists alone. These questions, in particular what method should be used to value public health outcomes, require social value judgements that are beyond the capacity of economists. This choice will require consultation with policy makers, and perhaps even the general public. Such collaboration would have the benefit of ensuring that the methods developed are useful for decision makers.
