Three"I have to kiss her?!" An eleven-year-old Prosper exclaimed, staring at his best friend Owen. They were crouched behind the large slide in the playground, the bright red plastic affording them enough cover to constitute their very own hide out. Or so they figured, after chasing away a couple of girls who had been playing there previously.Three5 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
"Yep." Owen replied, his blue eyes serious as he spoke.
"Bu- c'mon, I mean, why would I-," Prosper couldn't seem to get the words out, but it was bad enough that they were even discussing kissing a girl in the first place.
"Chicken!" Owen accused, a grin lighting up his face, "You took the dare, so you gotta do it! You can't back out without being a right wuss!"
"I'll do somethin' else." Prosper said, desperately trying to dig himself out of the rather large hole he had fallen in.
"Nope, that's your dare," Owen said, "If you wanna be leader of this group with me you gotta go through with it, and show you're not a wimp."

Tom walked out of the theater along with his agent. It was late and the crowd of screaming fan girls were long gone. He walked to the street where a car awaited him when he saw something shining in the gutter. He bent down to get a closer look and saw that it was a locket. He picked it up and examined it. It was beautiful yet simple. It was heart shaped with a moon etched into the top along with pattern. He opened it up to reveal a picture. It was over a woman and a man, they were smiling and in between them was little girl. He noticed the little girl looked a lot like Abby and he remembered her wearing this. He stood and showed it to his agent, "See if you can find that girl I met today. Even just her phone number would do. I believe this is her's." His agent looked at him, "You mean the one who's hand you kissed?" he said.
"Well, yes. I know that was different but..." he managed to say before his agent interrupted him, "It's okay. It's your life...I'm just your agent." He took the ne

Tom finished signing another autograph and looked back to see if he could see her again. She was gone, but then he saw her leaving the crowd. She was beautiful, with soft chocolate eyes and mocha colored hair. He wasn't quite sure what came over him when he saw her. He wanted to meet her, but now he thought he might have embarrassed her. He wanted to see her again and apolagize, but he couldn't leave. He probably wouldn't ever see her again. He turned back and continued into the theater.
Abby collapsed onto her couch and breathed a sigh of relief. She managed to get back to her apartment before getting mobbed by angry fan girls. Her cat Mittens jumped into her lap. She stroked her head, "I've had quite a day." she said to her cat. She just looked at her and meowed.
"All right I'll feed you."
She got up and went into her small kitchen. Then slopped some cat food into a bowl and set it on the ground. She then went into the bathroom to change. Looking into the mirror she gasped. She r

Abby stood in front of her bathroom mirror, judging her appearance. She had decided to wear something simple, since it was only her first dinner with Tom. She was wearing a simple red blouse with black dress pants. She didn't want to wear a dress or skirt for afraid of seeming to fancy. She walked out into the living room and was about to feed her cat when the doorbell rang.
"Just a second." she called. She quickly dumped some cat food into the dish and set it on the group. Then as quickly as she could answered the door. Tom stood in the doorway looking sharp as usual. He was wearing a blue button up shirt, no tie, and a dark suit jacket and pants.
"Hi." she said.
"Hello. You look very nice tonight." he said.
"Thank you. You do too." she said.
"Thank you. Are you ready to go?" he asked her.
"Yes. Oh, I just need to grab my purse." she said as she turned back to the living room. She looked around, but didn't see her purse anywhere.

"Yes! We made it!" cried Emma. Abby looked closely at the bulletin board, "Our names are even at the top of the list!" she pointed out. "I can't believe it!"
"See I told you were good." Emma said.
"I see you too made it." Eli said as he walked up to them, "Congrats!"
"Thanks!" they both said and just then the bell rung and everyone started to head to class. "Oh, gotta go! I got that big exam. See ya later!!
They waved goodbye and the turned toward each other.
"So, see ya at auditions?" she asked.
Emma nodded, "Yep. See ya then!"
Emma smiled and then left for her own class. She did the same and left in the opposite direction.
During English she found she could hardly focus. Her mind kept drifting off to the auditions and Tom. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Honestly she hadn't stopped thinking about him since he came up to her at the theater. Suddenly her professor's voice interrupted her thoughts, "Ms. Collins!" She looked up and saw everyone staring at her, "Yes?" she said.
Sherlock Holmes: The Alder King MysteryIT has been my esteemed pleasure to have recorded some of the most singular cases ever investigated by one of Europe's greatest minds, my good friend Sherlock Holmes. That said however I would like to draw my reader's attention to a little known, or little attributed fact of life: I have recorded as many of the tales of Sherlock Holmes as I was able in the span of my life, but many of those tales still go unrecorded either due to pressures from governments who require anonymity on these delicate affairs, lack of interest in the case which may simply mean that the case was in no way an admirable expose of my remarkable friend's deductive skills, or even from reluctance from Holmes himself. He has never been too much of a fan of my chronicling, condemning it more than once as superficial and sensationalist.Sherlock Holmes: The Alder King Mystery3 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

"I'd know, I've seen a lot of wizards, and I can tell the difference between a wizard and a muggle but " She trailed off, her nose scrunching up as she scrutinized the boy who was asking different wizards something.

It was originally black. Alas, that was many years ago, and that cloak reminds me of what was once a paradise every single time I lay eyes on it.
Looking back, I sigh. Blake and Yang march behind me, faces stoic with discontent. I know with all my heart that it is not from such a steep hill that we are currently traversing. Instead, it is from the many griefs and turmoils that we have BEEN traversing for the past seventeen years. Team RWBY cannot go on like this.

Before the basket had even touched the landing platform, the six stallions were leaping from the gondola and galloping into the castle. Their thunderous travel reverberated throughout the halls as they made their way to Celestia's chambers. Without a second thought, they careened through the door, sending it bursting open and hitting the walls with a resounding crash.
"We have the artifact!" Dusk Shine called, panting heavily. He undid the ropes tying the object down and levitated it up to Celestia's field of view, flashing Celestia a weak smile. Seeing Celestia's shocked expression, he cast a look behind him, taking in the dented door and terrified courtiers. Realizing what they had done, he immediately said "Oh, goodness! I'm so sorry, we should have knocked first!"

Visiting hours were over, finally, and the last of Dick's visitors had left. Most of the student body, and faculty, of Gotham Academy had been by to see him at some point over the last few days, and it was surprising how tiring trying to smile and be upbeat for near strangers. He was glad to see the last of them go.
Bruce had left word with Sarah, the day shift nurse, that he would be late coming up to the hospital. The man had taken a trip out to Metropolis on business and the train back was delayed because of repairs to the Gotham Station.
Truth be told, Dick didn't mind. He was luxuriating in the quiet that came from finally being alone. The hospital bed reclined back and he closed his eyes.

So, this probably wasn't what Batman had intended when he sent Jason through the portal. However, the green-eyed Robin had five years of pent up frustration and anger to let out, and Sportsmaster was such an inviting target. Despite the obvious difference of size and age between the two, the first blow to Sportsmaster's face cracked the goalie mask he wore.
The second broke the nose beneath it.
Vaulting over the dazed man lying on the floor again, Jason planted his hands on the computer console and lifted himself over it. As he did so, he twisted his legs around to drive them both into the ribcage of the freaky horned guy that was trying to dislodge the knife in the hard drive. He kicked hard, sending the freak flying back and through several of its little green monkeys and into the wall behind them. It didn't get back up.

It had been several minutes since he'd been, in essence, crucified in the center of the machine. And in that time he had lost all sensation in his legs and even the burning of his muscles in his suspended arms had receded to be replaced by a numbing warmth that spread through the parts of his body he could feel.

Learn the basics of programming in Arduino using the graphical programming constructs of ArduBlock. (www.ardublock.com)
The ProtoSnap series is a new way to prototype your project without a breadboard. Everything is wired together on a single board, which makes it easy to explore the possibilities of the components before snapping them apart and building them into your project.
The ProtoSnap LilyPad Development Board is designed to get you started in the world of e-textiles. Combining a LilyPad Simple Board with other LilyPad components like a buzzer, a vibration motor, an RGB LED, a button, a switch, five LEDs, a light sensor, and a temperature sensor, the ProtoSnap LilyPad Development Board lets you dive right into wearable electronics. When you've learned how to program the LilyPad Development Board, you can break apart the components and explore the power of the LilyPad platform.
These materials are intended to help educators who are teaching Intro to Arduino or Arduino and Processing and don't want to have to use a soldering iron to embed the electronics. Sew microcontrollers into your teddy bear, kite or jacket for some project based learning you can hug, fly or wear!
We should have enough equipment available for everyone to use for the class, but if you'd like your own LilyPad Development Board to keep, you can find it available here:
Instructor: Dav Nowinski
Prerequisites: None.
What to bring: A laptop and some lunch (or visit a nearby restaurant)
Note: Please install the Arduino software on your computer before the class. Click here for instructions on installing the Arduino software. If you have any issues installing the software, shoot Dav (the class instructor) and e-mail or come to class a little early and he'll get ya squared away.
I imagine four hours will be more than enough time to comfortably get through the material, but if we need more time, I'll be able to stay around a couple more hours (6pm).
Meetup has allowed me to meet people I wouldn't have met naturally - they're totally different than me.

Those Arabs who are in the leadership positions in Hamas, Fatah etc are not poor at all. Most are very rich. There is a sizable community of their children studying in the USA especially in San Francisco's Pacific Heights area. Some spend money like water. Wouldn't it be possible that this man realized that sending suicide bombers or launching rockets to kill innocent civilians is a bad thing and wanted to do something about it? Only he knows.

In an interview with Massively a few weeks ago, Lead Producer Andy Velasquez acknowledged that the team was hard at work on this update even before Neverwinter went into open beta: "For the rest of the team, they've spent the last couple of weeks working on the first update which will come out a couple of months after the launch."
Cryptic says that more details on module 1 are coming soon, but in the meanwhile, why don't we engage in a fun round of speculation as to what this update could be?

Technology to continue to push athletes' limits
Related Links
Relevant offers
Performance-enhancing technologies will create athletes who need an Olympic Games of their own, a biomechanical engineer predicts in the latest edition of Nature.
Hugh Herr's lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is working on a bionic running leg.
With the 2012 Olympics in London only days away, Herr told the journal that decades into the future, a bionic limb would be produced that was so sophisticated it truly emulated biological limb function.
That would be an "Olympic sanctioned limb", but without any human-like constraints it would become the basis of a human-machine sport such as race car driving.
Performance-enhancing technologies would advance to a point where they would extend human limits and need an Olympics of their own, Herr said.
"For each one there will be a new sport - power running, and power swimming, and power climbing."
New sports would emerge in the same way as the invention of the bicycle led to the sport of cycling.
Returning to the present, orthopaedic surgeon Scott Rodeo cast doubt on suggestions surgery was already improving the elbows of baseball pitchers.
Pitchers who had surgery to replace a damaged elbow ligament with tissue from a hamstring or forearm tendon have claimed they could throw harder after the two-year rehabilitation process.
But Rodeo said the science did not back up the stories.
Replacing an entire joint would also be unlikely to work under the physical demands of elite sport, he said.
That could change if researchers made major advances in engineering skin, tendons and other replacement body parts.
Andy Miah, a bioethicist at the University of the West of Scotland suggested the possibility skin grafts might be used between fingers and toes to improve swimming.
Nanotechnology was another frontier. Researchers were already experimenting with blood supplements based on oxygen-carrying nanoparticles for use in emergency situations.
There was a lot of talk about the possibility of biologically infused nanodevices that could perpetually maintain certain thresholds of performance.
Another article in the journal raised the possibility that future Olympics could allow handicaps and gene therapy for people born without genes linked to athleticism.
There was growing evidence world-class athletes had a minimum set of performance-enhancing genes, Juan Enriquez and Steve Gullans from life science technologies investment firm Excel Venture Management said.
More than 200 gene variants had been associated with athleticism.
In the future Olympic rule-makers might use handicaps to level the playing field for athletes without the beneficial genes, or athletes might be allowed to upgrade through gene therapy, if that was safe.
The authors said they expected that as genetic modification became more common, there would be a gradual acceptance by Olympic officials of safe genetic enhancements.
They also questioned how easily scientists could detect wither a genetic variant was natural or introduced, pointing to the problems already encountered in trying to confirm the gender of female competitors.

Strawberries in Raspberry Puree
This is one of the simplest and most delicious sweet dishes I know and proves it's not always necessary to spend hours in the kitchen to make something spectacular.
Serves 4-6
|1 lb (450 g) firm strawberries
|8 oz (225 g) raspberries
|2½ oz (60 g) icing sugar, sieved
|5 fl oz (150 ml) double cream, whipped
|Oven temperatures and Conversions
|Click here for information
|There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe.
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course and Delia Smith's Complete Illustrated Cookery Course.
Hull the strawberries, but don't wash them; just gently wipe them with a piece of damp kitchen paper. The raspberries should then be pressed to a pulp through a nylon sieve and mixed with the icing sugar.
Now arrange the strawberries in a bowl (a glass one would show off the attractive colour of this dish), and sit the bowl on some ice cubes that you have arranged in the bottom of another bowl. Mix the raspberry purée into the strawberries, then just before serving top with the whipped cream.

Since I had bought the DVD singles, I ordered the empty boxes a long time ago (TRSI links for the first one, second one, and third one). Wow, that was about nine years ago. I don't recall where they are now. I either still have them, gave 'em away, or just tossed them into the recycle bin. ^_^

I don't usually keep them wrapped around the boxes like in the picture. I tuck them away inside. Yes, the are incredibly cheap but I do have a fascination with them. I just like obis.
Thank you lem. It ended up costing me quite a bit of cash but I got it and it feels good. I wish you the best with Orguss.

Preorder from the TRSI FUNimation sale:
Fafner Movie: Heaven and Earth DVD/Blue-Ray set
Serial Experiments Lain DVD/Blu-ray Complete Collection
I have the Geneon singles and artbox for the Fafner TV show and am not going to double dip on that but I decided to get the movie for completeness and to get free shipping on the Serial Experiments Lain set, which is a double-dip. Ironically, I probably paid as much or more for the Signature Series singles as I bought them back in 2004 from Best Buy, I think they cost about $15 each. Seeing the "Hey, nice package" video cemented my decision to get the new set.
Now, if it only had an obi...

|The impression I got from the video was that FUNimation is sending this Lain set up as a kind of "trial baloon" in terms of trying to do packages similar to what Japanese fans are getting. However, knowing them, I would not be surprised if a lower-priced version comes out sometime down the road. I would not expect to see this version come down too far unless they make too many, and I don't think they will do that on this one.

Hm, that's interesting if that is their intent with it! Hopefully they will do more releases like it. Of course, I'm sure they'll re-release it two... three times, but wasn't sure if it would be as limited as the other LE chip boards.
...also for some reason I was thinking it was $42, but it's actually $54... Well, I have until the 8th to think it over, because I wouldn't be getting it for any more than that price... I was sort of hoping that if I hold out, maybe it'll be up for holiday sales, but if I wait, it might not go down in price for a while, or sell out by then.
-_- I hate budget restrictions...

Heaven's Memo pad on blu (something of a blind buy)
the newer release of Nadesico (it came with a cool red and white magnet, perfect for my metal shelving)
20th Century Boys 22

Higurashi 19
House of Five Leaves 8 (Finally!)
Hunter x Hunter 28
Yotsuba Volume 11
to add insult to my newb injury I bought Volume 1 when it was first available at RACS years ago. All the while thinking 'ok if this first one is my cup o' tea I'll go ahead and get the set... and it never happened.
I'm certainly not against favors. I just can't see how those various implements of destruction would work any better than fire. oh. but wait... your problem solving will be of the surgical variety.
ok. uh, Does anyone know of a Collection management class that I can attend?

During the Right Stuf Viz sale, I got the first six volumes of Ooku. I read the first four at the library and loved it.
I also finally got the live action Mushishi movie during the Funimation sale. The anime and manga are some of my favorites.
I also finally took the plunge and purchased all of Twin Spica after reading so much praise for it. I love a good manga series.
I also feel like an otaku now because I bought my first hug pillow. It was incredibly hard to find a non sexual one.
And someone was selling the Megahouse 1/8 scale Cure Blossom figure I had been wanting for a more reasonable price, so I just couldn't pass it up.

Instead of throwing the slipcovers, obi's, filler boxes, and whatever else away that you don't want, you could always try to list them on ebay. I have seen slipcovers listed on ebay and people bidding on them. Just gather everything up and list it. It wouldn't hurt to try. You would be suprised what people will bid on.

Dusty and dishevelled, Gaddafi's feared son was found posing as camel-keeper
The Saif al-Islam captured at the weekend was a world away from the urbane operator who once terrified Libya
Monday 21 November 2011
The small town of Zintan, high in Libya's Nafusa mountain range, shows little evidence of Libya's billions of dollars of oil wealth. Until Saturday this dusty settlement of cement brick houses, scattered across rubble-strewn hills, had few trophies to boast of.
Now it enjoys the dubious honour of hosting the nation's most famous son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. The one-time presumed heir to the Gaddafi regime, international playboy and confidant of western leaders is now a prisoner in a private house, where he awaits justice at the hands of the men his father had been fighting for most of the past year.
The forefinger with which he once angered Libyans by wagging at them in threatening TV broadcasts is gone, severed, he says, in a Nato bombing. With it have gone the stylish western clothes and wire-framed glasses. Instead, he sports a bristly beard and traditional robes. And he faces the prospect of the most high-profile trial in the new Libya.
As a picture began to emerge yesterday of the capture of the feared dictator's son, the people he had once threatened to hunt out "house by house" like rats could barely contain their glee.
"It's the best day ever, I can't describe how I feel. I'm really happy, this really is the end," said Khalid Shaibi, one of a group of men enjoying cups of coffee at a café in Zintan yesterday. "Everyone was worried about Saif because if anything was going to happen against the Libyan people it would be organised by him. Nobody can hurt us now."
The 15-man strong border patrol that captured the fugitive Saif al-Islam had been there for weeks, roaming the vast swathes of Saharan desert that make up Libya's wild southern hinterland. "We received a tip-off about a VIP," said Al Hmaly Al Hotmaly, one of the group that launched the ambush on the lonely road to the border with neighbouring Niger.
Confronted, Saif initially attempted to hide his identity. "He tried to cheat us," recounted Ahmed Ammar, who said Saif had given his name as Abdul Salam and claimed to be a camel keeper.
Once he was identified as Gaddafi's most prominent son, a plane was summoned to take the captives back to Zintan. Abdullah el Mahd was the pilot who flew Saif al-Islam on the 90-minute journey from Obari to Zintan.
"He felt like someone who'd been defeated at war," said el Mahdi. "He was very weak, very weak inside. He knows that everything is finished."
When the plane landed at Zintan, it was soon surrounded by an angry mob.
"There was nothing I could do," explained el Mahdi. "He was afraid when he saw the people but I promised him he would be all right." It was to take hours before Saif could be taken from the plane and driven in safety to the place where he is now held under house arrest.
On Saturday evening, Libya's new leaders gathered in the crisp air of the Nafusa mountains to confirm the news to an audience of hundreds of camouflage-clad militiamen and a handful of foreign reporters.
"We assure Libyans and the world that Saif al-Islam will receive a fair trial ... under fair legal processes which our own people had been deprived of for the last 40 years," Libya's interim Prime Minister, Abdulrahman Al-Keib, said.
Officials in Zintan were saying yesterday that Saif al-Islam could be tried in the town. "We have courts and we have judges that are capable of trying him legally and fairly," said Abdullah Mohammed, a military commander in the city.
His words were echoed by Osama Jweili, head of Zintan Military Council, who said that Zintan was safe and secure enough to host the trial. Asked where Saif's trial should take place he said: "Definitely in Libya because that's what all the Libyans want."
"He's a bit depressed, not thinking straight, a bit confused because he's been hunted for so long," he said, describing Saif's present condition, adding that Zintani officials had told Saif that he would be assured a fair trial there.
"We'll provide the rights that your regime did not provide for us," they told him.
At the civilian council, officials also said Zintan could host a trial. "We can try him, it will not take too long, we don't need any new laws," Dr Omran Turki, an engineer who heads the council, said. "They are Zintanis who captured him so they will have to have him here."
He said that Saif had been exhausted. "He hasn't slept for three or four days. We didn't ask him any questions because he was so tired. We just sat him down and gave him some couscous and tea."
In Zintan's hospital, the Ukrainian doctor who treated Saif al-Islam said that his fingers were badly wounded and required urgent care but that the former fugitive was otherwise in good health.
"He was very nice. He was not depressed. He's not scared. He needs an operation," said Andrej Morakovsky, a Ukrainian doctor who said he had been working in Zintan for over eight years.
Dr Morakovsky said that Saif was being held in a private house inside the city.
"I think he should be kept here at least until a new government is formed and they know what they're doing," said Ahmed al Obeidy, one of a number of Zintani fighters who said that they wanted him tried there.
A convoy of cars piled into the concrete compound of Zintan's military council on Sunday afternoon as fighters from the Western city of Misrata arrived to congratulate the Zintanis.
"It's over," said Faisal Swehli, a businessman from Tripoli who was celebrating the news in Zintan. "The battle now is between ourselves, to unite ourselves. We are no longer cattle and they are the wolves. We are no longer afraid."

Beauty 360 sold boutique-brand cosmetic lines.
CVS Caremark Corp. will close its online and boutique-style Beauty 360 stores this May. The drug store chain says it wants to refocus its efforts on its primary beauty business, which CVS says appeals to a wider group of consumers.
Beauty360.com and the 25 Beauty 360 stores CVS opened over the last four years sold up-market cosmetics, skincare and fragrance brands, such as Cargo and Vincent Longo, whereas CVS.com and CVS stores typically sell mostly mass-market brands like Cover Girl and Revlon.
CVS points to recent developments it made to its mass-market beauty business and says it wants to develop those further. CVS last year launched a loyalty program for CVS customers called Beauty Club, which CVS says already has 10 million members. The retailer also launched a private label brand with actress Salma Hayek. "This kind of success within our core beauty offering clearly demonstrates the tremendous opportunity we have to maintain and grow our leadership position in beauty through our CVS/pharmacy stores," a CVS spokeswoman says.
Beauty360.com and Beauty 360 stores will close May 19.
