Not a child's cartoon. Remember that it was spun off from

MTV also aired it

Chapter 5: Part 3
In the library, Quinn was leafing through an old issue of
when one of her 'helpers' came up to her.
"Have you found something?" she asked.
The boy shook his head. "No, Quinn, there is a tornado outside of town..." he began.
Quinn interrupted him. "A tornado! Not even Sandi would do that! I have to go," she said, and dashed out of the library.
Sandi was walking up Main Street when she saw pictures of the tornado on the screens of televisions on sale in a window of one of the stores. What caught her attention were the words; Tornado near Lawndale: Live on the screen beneath the funnel.
"That's not good!" she said. She knew that Elias wouldn't make such a wish, so she began thinking of others who would as she started running down the street.
Hecuba Residence
Andrea's usual afternoon show was interrupted by the news break. 'Of course, someone would be stupid enough to wish for a natural disaster,' she thought. She soon left the house and headed down town.
Top floor of the Lawndale offices of Vitale, Davis, Horowitz, Rhiordan, Schrechter and Schrechter
Jim Vitale looked at the tornado funnel as it reached the outskirts of the town. 'Whoever you are, Asshat, you are going to regret this!' he thought.
Taylor Mansion
Brittany rolled off the bed, into the pile of clothes, as she heard the radio.
"Babe? What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
Brittany glared at her boyfriend as she started re-dressing from the top down. "Didn't you hear the radio!" she squeaked.
"What about it, Babe?" Kevin asked, pondering, as he sat up.
"A tornado!" Brittany said as she continued dressing.
"A tornado?" Kevin asked.
"You, know," Brittany said. She paused as she reached for her nightgown, which was rather easier than the cheerleader's uniform to put on. "'A scary storm that kills'?" she continued.
"Oh! So what, Babe?" Kevin asked.
"So what?" she threw his underwear at him. "So what!" She threw some of his football uniform at him. "It is approaching downtown Lawndale!" she said, squeaking higher than usual."That's what!" she threw more of the football uniform at him.
"Oh! But that's no reason to stop, Babe."
"Ooohh!" Brittany grabbed her hair bands and stalked out of the room.
The Settlement
Helen answered the phone.
Helen! Have you heard the news?
" Jake asked.
"Yes, Jake, the tornado," Helen said.
Do you know where the girls are
?" Jake asked.
"No," Helen admitted, not sure what else to say.
Gaaggghh! I have to look for them!
"Remember what happened in the hurricane, Jake!"
I told you, Trent distracted me!
"Not the way he told it," Helen said.
They continued their discussion, thus Helen wasn't able to stop Jake leaving work to look for Daria and Quinn.
The other parents continued worrying whilst Jodie, Mack, Joey, Jeffy and Tiffany were planning their next move.
The tornado continued moving towards the main part of the town, ripping the roofs off parts of several houses, but mostly knocking power cables down, causing a series of power outages.
Elias chased after Dennis back and forth along the main street.
Howard Drive
Daria drove Trent's car towards Casa Lane. In the car with her were Scarlett in the passenger seat and Tananda, Stacy and Samara in the back seat. Jane and Tom were following in his car.
Samara had just finished telling the group her role in the events at lunch time.
"Interesting," Daria said as she saw Casa Lane as the car went around a slight curve in the road.
"So, you think that Elias would've lost the emerald?" Tananda asked.
"Absolutely, I know he wouldn't wish for a tornado," Samara said.
Daria parked the Plymouth behind the Tank in the Lane's driveway. 'Maybe the band is here,' she thought.
Tom parked his rust bucket behind the Plymouth.
The seven teens exited the cars and went inside. They could hear Mystik Spiral practicing in the basement.
'Interesting music,' Samara thought.
Meanwhile at one of the Residence Halls at Lawndale State University, Jeremy Stanton was listening to the radio and heard about the tornado.
'There is something very familiar about this,' he thought. He put aside his Biology notes and looked in his closet for his journal from when he was in 10th grade.
When he found it, he brought it over to the work desk and opened it.
He re-read about the Smithton genie incident that he had been involved in. "It may be possible that a genie has been found in Lawndale, and that events have started the same as back in '93!" !" he said to himself. 'I need to investigate what is happening' he thought. He closed the Biology texts he had been reading, and grabbed his room key, and then went to leave his room to go to the bus stop.
In Main Street, Dennis and Elias struggled for the emerald as the tornado bore down upon them, tearing signs off buildings.
The tornado was approaching the fighting duo.
"This is bad!" Elias grunted as the two of them were buffeted by increasingly stronger winds. Debris was swirling around them.
They struggled, Elias grabbed the emerald. "I wish that Dennis will be at home, that the tornado will completely disappear and that all the major damage would be repaired!"
The last word repeated around them as the emerald granted the wish.
The tornado disappeared, air moved such that the low pressure area in the middle of where the tornado had been was now normal pressure. The supercel vanished also, creating a break in the clouds through which the sun shone on part of the town.
Damage in Main Street and elsewhere in Lawndale was repaired, power cables were re-erected, restoring power in those areas affected by outages. The parts of roofs that were ripped off were restored.
Dennis vanished from Main Street at the same time as the tornado, leaving Elias holding the emerald in the middle of the debris strewn street.
He breathed a sigh of relief before wishing the debris off the road. He then went back into the bookshop, which he was still rather close to.
Casa Lane
Jane switched on the television in her rather crowded bedroom (as the TV in the living room still didn't work). The local station was now showing Main Street with the Headline Lawndale Tornado Crisis Averted.
"So it's gone now?" Tananda asked.
"It seems that way," Daria said.
"It may be that whoever wished for the tornado got the emerald taken off them," Scarlett said.
Everyone agreed with her.
"So, what happens now?" Tom asked.
"We could go back to the Pizza Place," Daria said.
"I don't think there would be much point to that," Stacy said.
"Why not?" Samara asked.
"It would still be deserted, after the tornado," Stacy said.
"That's a good point," Samara said.
"As much as I loathe to admit it, we may need to go to the Mall," Daria said.
"Where else could we go?" Jane asked, with a sarcastic edge.
They hadn't noticed that Mystik Spiral had stopped playing, and thus were surprised when Trent came into the room.
"Hey, Janie, how did things turn out... whoa, who are all these people?"
"Hi, Trent," Daria said.
"Hi, Trent," Tom said.
"I'm Stacy."
"Stacy, He's not your type," Daria said.
"She's Quinn's friend," Jane said.
Trent looked at Stacy "Oh, yes, Daria's sister's friend."
Scarlett went up to Trent. "Is Jesse Moreno here? The way he plays in Mystik Spiral is cool!"
"He's in the kitchen," Trent said.
Tananda put her hand to her forehead "Scarlett, we don't have time for your fan-girling!" she said.
Scarlett didn't hear her. She squee-ed and left the room.
Trent turned back to his sister. "So, how did the genie thing go today?"
"A lot of stuff happened," Jane said.
"You just missed a tornado," Daria said.
"Someone wished for a tornado?" Trent asked, confused.
"But apparently someone else wished it gone," Daria said.
"What else happened?" Trent asked.
The teens remaining in the artist's room began to fill Trent in on the events at school.
Downstairs Scarlett saw Jesse with his other band mates, Max Tyler and Nick Campbell eating take away from Cluster Burger.
"Hi, Jesse, I'm your biggest fan!" Scarlett said as she approached the group.
"Cool." Jesse said.
"But, he is not as criminale as I am," Max said.
"You're not criminale at all," Nick said.
"I am so!" Max said.
"I remember what happened in Fremont, you were chicken when that Sheriff arrested us!" Nick said.
"When did this happen?" Scarlett asked.
"Late last year," Nick said.
"I've only seen you at the Zon," Scarlett said.
"What's with the weird stuff happening in Lawndale this week anyway?" Max said, trying to change the topic.
Quinn arrived at Lawndale Second-hand Bookstore. Elias saw her enter. "Don't worry, Quinn, the emerald is safe. I have it back," he said.
"Not worry? There was a tornado!" Quinn said.
"Dennis is at his house now. I doubt that he would come back here," Elias said.
"There are still many others in Lawndale who could do such stuff, and Sandi is still on the warpath."
"I guess so. I will wish for a pair of walkie talkies so we can keep in touch if something happens, and even if it doesn't."
Quinn was then in thought."I suppose so," she said.
Elias wished for the walkie talkies and gave one of them to Quinn.
"I suppose this will do," Quinn said, she wasn't sure about going back to the library, with what had just happened.
"Are you ok?" Elias asked.
"If Sandi comes, tell me, Ok?" Quinn asked.
"Sure, Quinn," Elias said.
"Cool," Quinn said as she headed out of the bookstore and back towards the library.
Dennis appeared outside his house, scaring Robyn, his younger sister.
"Dennis! How did you appear like that!" she asked, with fear in her voice.
"There's a genie in Lawndale," Andrea Hecuba said from the footpath in front of the Monk's property.
"Of course you would know," Dennis said.
"Give me that emerald. Someone like you doesn't deserve it!" Andrea said.
"A-Andrea! I don't have it. Elias Howarth has it, he wished me here!"
"Really? Where is he then?"
"He's in Main Street, at the Lawndale Second-hand Bookstore," Dennis said.
"Right," Andrea said as she dashed off.
Dennis then went to the footpath and waited until Andrea was in the distance before following her.
"Dennis! Wait!" Robyn called as she followed her brother in turn...
At 4:33, Sandi ran into Elias outside Lawndale Second Hand Books. "Elias. I, like, wound not have wished for a tornado! Give me the emerald back!"
"It was Dennis Monks!" Elias said. He ran into the store.
Sandi followed him, only to find that he had wished himself elsewhere. "Damn!"
Elias appeared in the Borders bookshop in Cranberry Commons, scaring the wits out of his friend Louisa Moore. "You have the emerald?" she finally asked.
"Yes," he said.
"Why are you teleporting around in a suspicious manner?"
"Sandi was chasing me, and after that tornado, I wasn't going to take any more risks."
"Good point," Louisa said.
"Yeah," Elias said, prior to contacting Quinn about what had just happened.
The Settlement
They were still worrying about the tornado, when one of the waiters came over.
"What do you mean, the tornado's gone?" Helen asked.
"That is what they said. The tornado just vanished," the waiter said.
Helen thought. "Sounds like someone just wished it away," she said.
"I concur," Andrew said, after reading the message on his phone.
"Thank goodness," Elizabeth said.
"But there would be damage," Steve said.
"Possibly minimal," Zara said.
Helen looked at the clock on the wall. "4:40! I'm sorry, I have to get back to work!" she said.
"If it hasn't been affected by the tornado!" Elizabeth said. Her expression seemed to say 'Where do you think you're going?'
"Oh, believe me, the firm will be running regardless of natural disasters," she said.
Elizabeth moved aside and Helen began to leave the restaurant. "I'll call you later tonight," Elizabeth said.
Helen nodded and ran outside, confident that most of the parents would act as discussed...
"Um, Joey? I think we also should be going, if we are to get to the Morgendorffers by 5:00," Jeffy said after Helen had ran out.
"We are?" Tiffany asked, quietly.
"I think so," Joey said.
"We are going to talk to Daria about what we have found," Jeffy said.
"But we haven't found aaany thi-ing," Tiffany said.
"We are going to tell Daria about what the parents discussed," Jeffy said
"Let's go," Joey said.
"Mommy, I will be at Quinn's house."
"That's OK, Tiffany. I will be there about 7:30," Frances said.
"Cool," Tiffany said. She gave her Mom a hug and then followed Joey and Jeffy.
Cedars of Lawndale
Jennifer returned to Kristen's room. "It took a while to get him, but he's coming," she said.
"Cool," Kristen said.
"By the way, it appeared that someone wished the tornado away," Cindy said.
"How do you know?" Jennifer asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The way they described it. A tornado doesn't disappear like that," Cindy said.
"They also said that the major damage was repaired," Kristen said.
"That's good," Jennifer said as she sat down next to Cindy.
Casa Lane
Trent took in what the teens had told him about their day at Lawndale High. "Hmm, everyone in Lawndale is going to know that strange stuff happened by tomorrow night, if not sooner," he said.
"That's obvious. But I don't know what we can do about it," Daria said.
"Other than keep looking for the emerald," Jane said.
"Obviously," Daria said.
Stacy looked at her watch. "4:45, we have to meet Tiffany, Joey and Jeffy at your house, Daria," she said.
"Not till five, we have a few more minutes," Daria said.
"Daria, it's going to take a more than a few minutes to get a group this large, which now includes Mystik Spiral, to move," Jane said.
"Good point," Daria said. "Right, let's go now," she said, getting up off the bed.
Downstairs, Scarlett was tired of the bickering between Max and Nick. She had also tried to talk to Jesse but he seemed to be focussed on his band mates. She was looking through the Lane's cupboards trying to find some food when she heard soft whispering near her ear. "Roger!" she leaned further into the cupboard. She turned looked back. The band mates didn't appear to have heard the mouse talk. "What is it?" she asked.
"The genie, do you think it is dangerous?" Roger the Mouse asked.
"No more dangerous than anything that we have already encountered," Scarlett said.
"Oh great!" Roger said, clearly remembering what he and Scarlett had experienced over the past year and four months.
"Don't panic! I'm sure that the situation will be under control soon," Scarlett said.
"Oh, sure!" Roger said.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Jesse asked in the background.
"Nothing," Scarlett said, whilst Roger ducked back into one of her pockets. She stood back up.
Sandi ran into the library. She started looking for Quinn.
Quinn to Elias, over.
"What's that about?" Louisa asked.
"Quinn is helping me in this situation," Elias said. He picked up the walkie-talkie "Report, Quinn, over."
Sandi is here, in the library, over,
Elias thought for a moment. "Whatever happens, don't tell her that I'm in Cranberry Commons, over."
I won't tell her, over,
" Quinn said.
"That would be great, Quinn. Thanks," Elias said. He put the walkie talkie away. 'I hope that she won't,' he thought.
"So, you want Sandi to be running all over Lawndale all afternoon?" Louisa asked.
"Maybe," Elias said.
'That seems like a good plan,' Louisa thought as she took a sip from her drink.
"Yeah," Elias said with a smile.
Sandi had overheard Quinn talking on the walkie talkie. She came up to her.
"Gee, Quinn..."
Quinn dropped the copy of
in surprise.
"...you are, like, in contact with that emerald snatcher, Elias, aren't you?"
"No comment, Sandi."
Sandi glared at Quinn.
Quinn easily caved under the pressure. "Fine! I am, so what?"
"Where is he?" Sandi asked, getting to the point.
"He's in High Hill's Park," Quinn said with a nervous giggle.
"Right." Sandi said in disbelief, "Give me that walkie-talkie!" She stepped forwards lunged for said item.
Quinn backed up. "Sandi! We can't fight in the library!" She quickly handed the radio device over.
"Sandi, to Elias, where is your location?"
I am at the Lawndale Fruit Market
," Elias said.
Sandi gave the walkie talkie a dubious look, but decided to head in that direction anyway. "Fine!" she said. She turned to Quinn. "I will not, like, forget your part in this!"
"I know you won't," Quinn said, with another nervous giggle. She watched as Sandi stalked away.
'I know the Fashion Club won't survive this intact,' she thought. She picked the copy of
back up and waited for any of her helpers to come back with genie information.

ct. 15, 1935. E. u. GINGG FILTER WINDOW FOR WELDERS HELMETS Filed Nov. 4, 1935 FIG.
ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 15, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT GFFHIE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in filter windows for welders helmets and more particularly to the structure and arrangement of the filter window.
Among the objects of the invention is to protect the eyes of the welder from the deleterious light rays incidental to the welding operation.
Another object is to so construct and arrange the filter window that the filter glass is protected against injury.
Another object is to facilitate the removal and replacement of the protective means without disassembling the mounting means.
Other objects and advantages will appear as the description progresses.
In this specification and the accompanying drawing the invention is disclosed in its preferred form. It is to be understood, however, that it is not limited to this form because it may be embodied in other forms within the spirit of the invention as defined in the claims following the description.
Autogenous welders are constantly being sprayed with molten metal incidental to the fusion of the metals forming the weld. These bombarding particles become embedded in the protective glass overlying the ray filter mounted in the helmet window, necessitating that this protective glass be replaced from time to time.
It has been the practice heretofore to assemble the window structure with screws and the like so that it may be disassembled to eifect a change of protective glass. Since the ray filter is expensive it is subjected to the danger of breakage 3 when it is removed in the environment where welders must operate. It is not in line with a welders duties to manipulate small and delicate parts, especially under adverse conditions.
In addition to the optical merits of the inven- 40 tion, the protective glass can be removed and replaced without disturbing the remainder of the window assembly.
In the one sheet of drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a Welders helmet 45 having a window combined therewith in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail in front elevation of the window assembly.
Fig. 3 is a further enlarged detail of the'same 50 in cross section taken on the line I I l--l I I, Fig. 2.
In detail the construction illustrated in the drawing referring to Fig. 1, comprises the face shield or visor l pivoted at 2 to a head piece including the overhead strap 3 joined to the brow 5 band 4 and the ear guards 5 all meeting at and engaging the pivot 2. The ends of the brow band are joined by the elastic strip 5' which completes a horizontal band encircling the head of the wearer. However, the present invention is applicable to any conventional welders helmet. 5
Referring to Fig. 3, the window comprises a rectangular frame 6 preferably composed of metal angular in cross section and surrounding the opening 1 in the front of the visor. The base 6 of the angle frame is riveted at 1 to the visor and 10 has the upstanding flange 8.
The window sash 9 is preferably composed of metal of channel section having the opposed flanges l0 and II. This sash is closed at the end I2 and open at the end l3, see Fig. 2. The open 15 end presents the same appearance as the end in Fig. 3.
The sash is supported within the frame by the hinges l4 and i5 engaging the common pintle [6. the torsion springs l1 and I8 encircle this pintle 20 and normally urge the sash inward toward the frame 6. The overhanging finger pieces I9 and 20 extend beyond the frame to provide convenient means for swinging the sash outward and upward on the hinges against the tension of the springs 25 I1, I8. This provides means for unobstructed inspection of the weld between welding operations.
The felt strip 2| is interposed between the sash and the frame to absorb the impact should the sash snap back and also to aid in excluding light 30 rays that may penetrate between the frame and the sash.
The window is made up of the filter plate 22 with the protective glass plates 23 and 24 overlying its opposite sides respectively, see Fig. 3.
Because of the heat radiated from the weld and the shocks of rough usage, these glass plates are very liable to fracture if held too tightly within the sash 9. This condition is relieved by the spring fingers such as 25, 26, 21, 28, formed in the flanges I0 and II by cutting an L shape slot in these flanges and curving the fingers inward. The laminated glass window is thus held firmly between these fingers without limiting its normal expansion and contraction. The yielding fingers also facilitate the insertion of any or all of the glass plates 22, 23, 24.
Eventually so much fused metal becomes embedded in this protective glass 25 that its transparency is impaired. The yielding fingers 2528 make it possible to slide it endwise from the open end I 3 of the sash without withdrawing the plates 22 and 23. Likewise a replacement pane 24 can be inserted without in any way altering the window structure.
claimed and desired to secure by Letters Patent l. A welders helmet having an opening in the front thereof; a flanged frame surrounding said opening; a sash open at one end fitting within and hinged to the flanged enclosure of said frame, and composed of a U shape channel having opposed inner and outer flanges; spring members formed in both of said flanges by slots cut therein, said members being tensioned inwardly; a translucent plate insertable into the open end of said sash and held out of contact with said sash flanges by said spring members.
2. A welders helmet having an opening in the front thereof; a flanged frame surrounding said opening; a sash open at one end, fitting within and hinged to the flanged enclosure of said frame and having internal channels in its opposite sides respectively; a translucent plate lying within said channels; spring members holding said plate out of contact with the sides of said channels; a
spring normally urging said sash into said frame and a finger piece attached to said sash and ex- 10 tending beyond the edge of said frame.

Shrimp Dumplings
From EatingWell: September/October 2013
This healthy shrimp-and-cabbage dumpling recipe makes a big batch, so you can eat some for dinner and freeze some for later. To vary the dumpling filling, try ground turkey instead of the shrimp. Look for wonton wrappers in a refrigerated case—usually near tofu. Serve with reduced-sodium soy sauce or mix up this quick dipping sauce recipe: 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce mixed with 2 tablespoons lime juice and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil.
Makes: 48 dumplings, for 8 servings

Place 6 wrappers at a time on a clean work surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into the center of each. Wet your finger and run it around the edge of a wrapper, fold two opposite corners toward the middle of the filling just until they overlap, then fold the other two corners over the top to form a square. Press to seal in the middle. Place on the prepared baking sheet, not letting them touch. If all the dumplings won't fit in one layer, place parchment paper between layers.
- To freeze: Freeze uncooked dumplings, uncovered, on the parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, at least 8 hours. Once frozen, transfer the dumplings to an airtight container or freezer bag and return to the freezer.
- To serve: Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 12 dumplings (fresh or frozen) in a single layer, seam-side down and not touching. Add 1/2 cup warm water to the pan. Cover and cook until starting to brown on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Turn them over and cook, uncovered, until brown on the other side, about 1 minute more. Repeat with the remaining oil, water and dumplings, if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3; freeze for up to 3 months.
- 1. For sustainable shrimp, look for shrimp that's certified by an agency like the Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find it, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America—it's more likely to be sustainably caught.
- 2. Look for wonton wrappers in the refrigerated case in the produce department—usually near the tofu. For this recipe, we use square wonton wrappers, which are sometimes labeled "round wrappers" even though they are not round.

|Reviews for Hero High: Earth style
| BanditWerewolf chapter 2 . 6/25/2014
Awesome and heartwarming chapter, especially with Ben and Ren. Can't wait to read more.
| PS2wizard chapter 14 . 4/26/2012
| PS2wizard chapter 13 . 4/26/2012
Wow, that was close. Can't wait to see who Pharaoh is.
| PS2wizard chapter 12 . 4/26/2012
Please don't tell me it's...it's...Vilgax? I wonder how he even got him in the first place? Oh well, can't wait for the fight.
| PS2wizard chapter 7 . 4/26/2012
ANIMO! Wow, you are good. Has Ben already met Dr. Animo in this story or is this different?
| dalton chapter 11 . 12/16/2011
hi ive really enjoyed this herohigh storie you write and i want to say thank you for them and its really the best ben10 ive read so far once again thank you for the stories.
ps: im a big fan of this story and you are bay far the best writer i know about (and that is alot)
your true fan... dalton.
| Lord Blood chapter 8 . 4/5/2010
you keep using DEFIANTLY in your story. at least once so far in this one, and at least 4x in the first Hero High.
DEFIANTLY is not the same thing as DEFINITELY.
put side to side, you should be able to tell the 2 words apart. please, try to get it right.
| Lord Blood chapter 2 . 4/5/2010
i dont know if you realize, but the "omg his eyes are so beautiful" and the dazed state she's constantly in is really really really corny and a bad way to set up a romance.
| Kern24 chapter 4 . 3/31/2010
This is great honestly I think the way bens mom is acting is more like a real mother with a boy at his age she figures if he cant get the girl who is living in the room across the hall from him that he is pretty much hopless lolz anyways skeep em coming
| Kern24 chapter 2 . 3/30/2010
This is great! but that alex kid is just a little too perfect I suppose i might just be being paranoid
| Kern24 chapter 1 . 3/30/2010
YES the perfect begginning to a great new story an thank you so much for keping Ren in the story i cant wait to see what happens next
| Omnitrix1 chapter 2 . 8/11/2009
bum bum BUM! THIS story has some suspense, and I've only read 2 chapters. (whispers) I hope he doesn't know I've readthis story before. (yells realizing I typed that) wait, don't read that! NO! But seriously, this story rocks.
| Omnitrix1 chapter 1 . 8/11/2009
Hey, I was wondering, why doesn't Ben just wear his THOTH on his other wrist? Still, Ben should be glad that he has the Omnitrix, it's better then the THOTH will ever be.
| J Man chapter 15 . 7/19/2009
well your chapter was pretty good but i had a problem with it. (take a wild guess) I understand that it is fiction and that u don't believe it (as far as i know at least). But still it kind of is frustating when i read this chapter because it makes it seem like christianity is a bunch of hogwash and that we are out of control maniacs. U might want to be careful, when it comes to subjects like this. but like you said it was fiction u were writing and am grateful to you for that, most authers don't even clarify that. I almost gave up on this. So please be more careful. But other than that you did an amazing job, it was complex but you only have to read it one time. and i'm very surprised that it was alex, and all this time i thought alex was being used by his father. good job.
| Uyurgezn chapter 7 . 1/22/2009
i am really happy that they didn't do ren something strange like super soldier experiment oh and i have to go because it is 1:18 A.M. here right now and i have school tomorrow and there is no need to mention it what will happen if my parents found out i am still awake. :) but i cant stop reading...

UK inflation: are transient and volatile items masking an improving domestically generated inflation picture?
This morning CPI in the UK has fallen from 0.1% in July to 0% in August, both in year-over-year terms. Continuing deflationary trends observed in transport (largely petrol) and food (supermarket price wars), which have together taken 0.7% off CPI over the last year, were dragged back up to the zero bound by alcohol and tobacco (these always go up!), education and restaurants and hotels, with sm…Read the article
El Niño is coming. What are the effects on GDP, commodity prices and inflation?
Whilst economic forecasters are currently concerned about falling oil prices and the implications for global growth, weather forecasters worry about the impact an El Niño weather event could have on global weather patterns. In August, America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said there is a 90% chance that the current Niño event will continue through the remainder of the…Read the article
We are there – nothing to fear
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) are due to meet on Thursday and most economists expect a dovish set of minutes to accompany the announcement of no change in the BoE base rate. Additionally, the minutes will likely emphasise the risks of a persistent undershoot in UK inflation given the continued fall in commodity prices and waning global demand. Despite these risks, the MP…Read the article
The cost of quality: spread differentials between IG credit rating bands
We have frequently written about investment grade (IG) credit spreads over the course of the past year. Today I'm going to dissect the IG universe further and take a look at quality spreads, i.e., the additional risk premium investors can earn when switching from one credit rating band into the next lower band.

Contrary to popular opinion, the Bank of England's next move will be a monetary easing
On the 7th of September £38bn worth of UK gilts (4.75% 2015) will mature. The Bank of England (BoE) own just under half the issue, having purchased the bonds through its £375bn quantitative easing (QE) programme. At this point in time, the BoE have indicated that they are committed to keeping the size of the QE program at £375bn. As a result of the 2015 bonds maturing, the bank will therefore h…Read the article
Commodity carnage and mayhEM – how exposed are High Yield markets?
We have seen a fairly swift and deep sell off in both commodities and emerging market equities over the past few months. The recent moves are now feeding through into a more broad-based sell off in risk assets. It appears an opportune time to take stock and see how exposed the various high yield markets are to these trends.
In order to assess any impact, I will firstly consider direct exposure,…Read the article
"We need to hike…so that we have room to cut if we need to". Eh? And some robot stuff too.
I keep hearing the argument that the Fed needs to hike, so that if the US economy slows down again it will have room to cut rates once more. In other words it needs to get away from the zero bound so that the traditional monetary policy tool of rate cutting comes back into play in the future. In less cerebral moments I may have made this argument myself, but I'm struggling to remember why it …Read the article
Covenant case study – after the good, the bad
We recently highlighted a bond covenant that benefited fixed income investors. After the good, this week we have seen the bad.

As the sexual assault case of John Travolta's first accuser appears to have all but crumbled, the focus has shifted to allegations made by John Doe #2 – and his attorney is gearing up for a no-holds-barred trial.
But he wants it carried out entirely in private.
"I want a full trial with a private judge," Okorie Okorocha tells PEOPLE, shooting down a report that he's in talks to enter mediation with Travolta's attorneys. "There is no mediation. There'll never be a settlement. I want privacy for sex crime victims."
"It looks like [Travolta's attorney Marty Singer] wants one hell of a fight, and that is what he'll get from me," Okorocha adds.

EBook Builder2.00.258
editor's review
1 comment
EBook Builder is one of the straightforward software solutions out there supposed to help users create e-books with minimum effort.
And the program's GUI shall be the living proof that EBook Builder was meant to be simple, providing just a few options in a one-window interface.
The two-panel layout gives you full control over chapters and their content, while also providing almost the same features as a full-featured word processor. You can change colors of chapters, backgrounds, windows and text, enable word wrap, copy and paste text just like in any other typical text editor.
What's more, you can even protect the e-book with a password that shall be required every time the user launches the file.
The created e-book is a stand-alone project that can be saved on your local disks to the .EXE format, thus helping you access its content without the need for a third-party application.
EBook Builder is in most cases very easy to use, but rookies who may need more information on a specific tool can always have a look in the manual available under the help section. Unfortunately, an Internet connection is needed because the help file is published on the official page of the developer.
To sum up, EBook Builder is indeed a handy product, but it still needs a lot of updates to become a five-star application. The GUI is simple and easy to use, but a more professional approach could help a lot, while the help manual requires an Internet connection, which isn't quite good news for users who'd like to do the whole task offline.

Hey, I'm Soolah!
We live in beautiful Cascade, Maryland but grew up in New Jersey. I am a hoop dancer and performer and really enjoy sharing the love of hoolah hooping with the public. I enjoy gardening as well and spending time at my home fixing it up and making it an interesting space. I tend to "explore" instead of hike and am available at times to show you around the area to some pretty cool places where I live. I enjoy Old World rustic style living and try to live as simply yet ecologically friendly making my "footprint" small in this world. I have great neighbors who are helpful and close by and I appreciate the friendships I have made in my life. Wheeler is an RN as well as an avid motorcyclist and loves to create leather artwork and Steam Punk costume pieces. We enjoy a Renaissance-like outlook on life and love to be creative. We both look forward to creating more!

Deluge: South Carolina rains came too fast to measure
Rain gauges with 10"+ capacity filled so fast that many NWS CoCoRaHS program observers in South Carolina couldn't get accurate readings as gauges overflowed.
Rain gauges with 10"+ capacity filled so fast that many NWS CoCoRaHS program observers in South Carolina couldn't get accurate readings as gauges overflowed.
At least nine deaths were reported in the state, and some 70 miles of Interstate 95 are closed to traffic. Urging residents to check on their neighbors, Gov. Nikki Haley said, "When tragedy happens, we lift each other up."
Milder days ahead.
Forecasters predict it could be Tuesday before the rain stops.
Another blissful weekend.
The Category 4 hurricane is virtually stalled at the moment over the Bahamas, but the storm forecast tracks have it staying well offshore as it moves north.
As forecast models continue to grapple for consensus on the eventual track of Hurricane Joaquin, there is a growing trend. Most of the models seem to be coming more into agreement with the ECMWF model's notion of an easterly track that keeps the powerful and dangerous hurricane out to sea and away from the US coastline. It's still too early to be sure the US will avoid a direct hit from Joaquin, but a distinct shift in that direction has occurred.
The hurricane currently centered in the Bahamas has maximum sustained winds of 160 mph. It could track for a landfall on the U.S. East Coast by the weekend.
Weather forecast confidence grows when the most trusted forecast models cluster around one outcome. In the forecasting game we call numerical weather prediction, ensemble mean forecasts from a suite of (many) models usually produce a better output than one single reliable forecast model.
Joaquin is now officially Hurricane Joaquin as it continues to churn and strengthen near the Bahamas.
Time to cover up those Supertunias. Frost advisories include St. Cloud and the northeast metro into Wednesday morning. Freeze warnings are flying again for northeast Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.
Tropical trouble is brewing in the Atlantic.
It looks like the perfect storm for a delayed but excellent fall color season this year across Minnesota.
Today's cool front brings a few scattered showers as it sags south. Cooler, more seasonal Canadian high pressure noses south into Minnesota this week and bumps temperatures back to reality.
It's September in Minnesota. Every weekend is picture perfect. Sunny skies. Summer-like temps in the 70s and 80s. Not a hint of a cold front of snow flurry in sight. The "ultra-glorious" summer of 2015 followed by the best September I can remember? A rare Harvest Supermoon total lunar eclipse to close out the last glorious September weekend?
Inside Climate News reported this week that Exxon scientists knew as early as 1977 that the pace of burning carbon based fossil fuels would change earth's climate.
One look outside today and we know what it must be like to live in a sponge. Our slow moving soggy low pressure system spins itself out today across the Upper Midwest.
Our latest rainmaker has arrived during midweek once again. The timing of weather systems across Midwest favors another clearing trend just in time for the weekend.
Expect rain in much of Minnesota at times Wednesday. The weekend looks even more summer-like that it did Tuesday. Plenty of sun and highs near 80 for the metro and southern Minnesota this weekend.
Our next weather system slogs into Minnesota Wednesday morning. Thunder and more heavy rain creates The Land of 10,000 Puddles as Wednesday unfolds.

Keeping it real. Not every new single from a RuPaul's Drag Race alum is of Grammy-winning calibre, let alone worth listening to. Some of them are pure garbage. Manila Luzon, who was robbed on Drag Race and All-Stars, just dropped a new track that's actually quite good.
"Ice Cream" is a little Iggy Azalea-lite but lots of fun. The lyrics are full of sexual entendres and innuendos. The accompanying clip is equally as racy. From a human Neapolitan ice cream dish (Jardon Derrick, Montana Volby, Timothy Willy) to a banana split worth every calorie, the music video is jam-packed with eye-popping visuals. It even ends with Luzon being the recipient of whipped cream bukkake.
Jon Varak, Eddie Eduardo, Casey Everett, Landon Scott, Eric East, Chris Serrato, Joey "Little Roo" Hakim, Austin Watie, Andres Hunt, Jonny Manzanares, Chancelor Dayne, Dexter Mayfield, Chaz Knight, Alex Bullon, Danny Luna, Mackenzie Green all make appearances. Manila's fellow Drag Race Heather Delta Work also makes a cameo. Check out the Brad Hammer-directed video below.
The Weeknd is mostly known for his seductive slow jams. When I first heard "Can't Feel My Face," I was pleasantly surprised to hear him go a little up-tempo. I'm obsessed with this track.
The Max Martin-produced hit is currently in the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. With a newly-released music video, it stands a good shot of hitting No. 1.
For the Grant Singer-directed visual, the Canadian crooner takes to the stage as a lounge singer and shows off some killer dance moves. Who knew The Weeknd could move like that? I had no idea. Supermodel Chanel Iman plays his love interest in the clip.
Check out the scorching vid below. It's a hot one. Literally. The Weeknd goes up in flames when a patron throws a lighter his way. Katniss Everdeen has nothing on him ;)
As required for any BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge visit, a cover of a current hit must be performed. Little Mix chose to take on Jason Derulo's massive hit, "Want To Want Me." And it didn't disappoint.
The performance starts off with some wicked harmonies from the ladies before kicking into high gear with an unexpected mashup with Whitney Houston's iconic "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Are you kidding? If that wasn't enough, a gospel choir is thrown in the mix.
The British quartet also gave a killer acoustic performance of their current single "Black Magic." Congrats go out to the girls for scoring their third UK chart-topper. Hopefully, the catchy pop track does well stateside as well. Check out both performances below. Their vocals are on point.
Courting controversy using Roman Catholic imagery is nothing new for Madonna. The 56-year-old icon's career is practically built on that foundation.
Once again, Madge goes to her go-to schtick to promote her Rebel Heart World Tour. The 30-second clip features pole-swinging nuns and other behind-the-scenes footage. Check it out below.
"Dirty Work" has such potential to become Austin Mahone's breakout hit. The funky track shows off a more mature side of the 19-year-old singer. Who knew the Texan had so much urban swagger?
Sadly though, Mahone has released an underwhelming music video for the catchy single. The Gil Green and Kenny Kool-Aid co-directed visual pays homage to The Office and goes for a humorous approach.
It's a tad too literal, IMHO. This isn't the "Dirty Work" I had in mind. Personally, a sexier route would've benefited the sizzling track much better.
"We were like, let's make a video where we are all stuck in an office, and we are all super bored and our boss keeps us over, and then he leaves and we have a huge party in the office," Austin revealed about the video's concept. "It's me and my coworkers, and we are running around and dancing and then there is this new girl that comes in, and I'm showing her around, and we like each other a little bit, and we are getting a little freaky in the boss's office."
Watch Mahone below goof off with his co-workers, drink Slurpees and flirt with the hot new employee.
When Disclosure first hooked up with Sam Smith, magic transpired. The undeniably catchy "Latch" became a global smash and introduced the world to these two talented acts. Smith became a Grammy and media darling while Disclosure churned out more club anthems.
The two reunite for what will undoubtedly be another hit collabo. "Omen" is the second single off Disclosure's Caracal album.
"It was really exciting," Disclosure's Howard Lawrence said in a statement. "We had three whole days to hang out with Sam and write, which are two of my favorite things to do."
For the accompanying visual, Ryan Hope was enlisted again to direct the clip. He did four videos for them during this era, two of which have yet to premiere. "Omen" takes place two weeks after the events of "Holding On."
Check out the Smith-assisted new track below. I'm already obsessed.
Beyonce's 4 era was highly-underrated.The highest-charting single off that album was "Best Thing I Never Had" which peaked at No. 16. Following up her commercially and critically-acclaimed I Am… Sasha Fierce album was a monumental task, even for Queen B.
I'm not a hardcore card-carrying member of the BeyHive but I enjoy listening to "Love on Top," "End of Time" and "Run the World (Girls)" more today than when they were first initially released. Like wine, the tracks have aged quite nicely.
I utterly hated "Run the World (Girls)" when I first heard it, but now think it's one of Bey's finest moments. Over the years, I've enjoyed watching numerous dance tributes to the female empowering anthem. This recent one featuring Larsen Thompson and Taylor Hatala is one of the fiercest. These girls can daaaaaaance. Watch them slay the choreography below and literally walk over men in the corporate world.
Toying with a classic track, especially a much-revered gay anthem, is a difficult juggling act. Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" addressed key issues including homophobia in the 80s, bullying and loneliness due to family rejection. The accompanying visual was a moving one which featured band member Jimmy Somerville flashing back to the events that motivated him to runaway.
Kate Ryan does an astounding job with her cover. Her vocals over a deep house beat give the track a contemporary vibe but also keeping it quite somber. The same can't be said for the music video. It's kind of a host mess if you ask me.
The Belgian dance diva is shown riding a horse before stumbling upon a group of young adults camping. "Runaway (Smalltown Boy)" isn't exactly a feel-good campfire song. So random?!?!?! Check out the Pascal Baillien and Wim Rombouts-directed visual below.

Analysis: The Tea Party's Not Over
From 10,000 feet up, it doesn't appear much happened on Primary Day in New Jersey. The drive-by media headlined it as "All House Incumbents Prevail. No Tea Party Here." Democrats in Washington can breathe a sigh of relief and focus on, say, Nevada. But politics is always more about local knowledge and personalities that take time and experience to fully grasp. And the message from Tuesday's results isn't quite as simple as those headlines make it out to be.
In places like Republican Morris County, incumbent career county and municipal elected officials were turned out by the wave of more conservative voters who came out. Even though in Morris's 11th Congressional District, Republican Congressman Rodney Frelinghysen won easily with 32,000 votes, more than 10,000 Republicans voted for Richard Luzzi, the Tea Party option.
Further south, the Tea Party cup runneth over. Take what happened down on the Jersey shore's 7th District, where GOP party insider and major fundraiser Diane Gooch had all the "official" Republican organizations lined up like happy dancing elephants. That was no easy feat with a district that sprawls through portions of Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset and Union counties. Gooch, an independently wealthy weekly newspaper publisher, had the "regular" GOP endorsements in all those places. She spent well over $400,000. But when the smoke cleared the morning after the primary, it was "Tea Party Approved" Anna Little who had the most votes.
Little, an immigration attorney and the mayor of Highlands, declared victory despite the razor thin margin of just dozens of votes out of the more than 13,000 cast Tuesday. An official confirmation will have to await a re-count and tabulation of so-called provisional ballots.
But for now, Little, who had raised just $22,000 in her shoestring campaign, has scored an upset that presents a major ideological challenge to a regular Republican Party organization just barely on the comeback trail thanks to freshly elected Gov. Chris Christie.
The state GOP, with standard bearer Christie, was just beginning to get traction as a national voice for cutting public spending and rolling back taxes. At home, Chrisitie is helping the "regular" GOP see daylight after years of being in political exile in Trenton. Propsects for ever controlling either legislative chamber, or the governership for that matter, had seemed so remote for so long. The Republicans could not prevail even after the departure of scandal plagued Democratic Gov. Jim McGreevey mid-term. For years, it seemed the state GOP was on the course to becoming the permanant minority party as demographics and the influx of more diverse and liberal ex-New Yorkers were painting the Garden State bluer and bluer with each election.
As the state headed into the conclusion of the first decade of the 21st century, its Congressional delegation reflected this partisan shift. In 2008, the victory of Democatic State Sen. Jon Adler in the 3rd District, where GOP Rep. Jim Saxton had held sway for a generation, turned the New Jersey House delegation even deeper blue, with the Democrats now holding eight of the state's 13 House seats.
In the 6th Congressional District, if the Teaparty's Little holds on through the Byzantine recount and "certification," she will get to take on veteran Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone. For years, it had been Pallone who at all hours would be the single sentry in an empty house chamber playing to the C-Span cameras for "meaningful health care reform." No doubt the Fall general election will be an referendum on so-called "Obamacare."
As the congressman from a district where the Jersey Shore is the main attraction, Pallone has also been pretty zealous about protecting the environment. So right now, he has spoken out against the Obama administration's plans to move ahead with the preliminary geo-analysis to open up deep water oil drilling off the Mid- and Southern Atlantic coastline.
For either party, reconciling a national and "mainstream" tone can be tough when local concerns become the hot political driver. How to grow the tree when the roots are on fire? For Pallone, that means coping with a POTUS now shellacked in big oil. For the Republican regular "mainsteam" organization, it means reconciling the victory of Tea Party-approved Little, backed by the hard core anti-abortion Eagle Forum, within the party that includes pro-choice former Gov. Tom Kean -- all by November.
And for Tea Partiers who become official GOP candidates, there is always the potential of being hit by the "Rand" effect just as they step into the bright lights of national scrutiny. For now, Little probably is best off avoiding the national limelight that gave Kentucky GOP nominee Rand Paul such a Tea Party hangover.
For the New Jersey GOP, the hard political reality is that tens of thousands of registered Republicans picked "other" on primary day. Generally those voters went for candidates on ballot lines like "Constitutional Conservative." Come November they are going to need everyone of them. And they won't be able to do that by "moderating" their Fall message. But even before the first Fall ballot is cast, the right wing revival is having an impact even on Democrats.
Consider Democratic Freshman Congressman John Adler--one of the first Democrats in the state to buck the party machine and back then-Sen. Barack Obama for president. Scroll forward to crunch time on Obamacare when every House vote mattered. Adler voted no.

Clever Father Shines With LED Light Suit Halloween Costume for 22-Month-Old Daughter [VIDEO]
It's scary how creative some Halloween costumes are.
It's scary how creative some Halloween costumes are.
From dogs dressed as Darth Vaderto Elvis kitties, we can't stop stuffing our four-legged friends into Halloween attire each October. Dog and cat costume parades are more popular than ever, and everyone from major pet supply companies like Petco to mom-and-pop Etsy dealers make a mint on adorable animal outfits. (Our pets, on the other hand, become more indignant with each passing fall).
Come down with the kids for a safe place to trick or treat on Halloween. Mike Olson hosts his 6th annual Trunk or Treat from 5pm to 7pm with your chance to get FREE candy and win some awesome prizes. Plus you get a free photo of your kid in costume.
Good luck topping this costume.
Halloween is on its way, and parties are bound to pop up. The only problem is that you don't have a costume. You could throw on a dirty old bedsheet, cut a few holes in it and tell people you're a beige ghost. Or you could actually be clever and in-tune with what's happening and hip (as the kids say) by going as viral video star the honey badger.
Ah, Halloween: the one time of year when it's completely appropriate to scare the fecal matter out of loved ones and friends. If your goal is to make sure children can't sleep at night, a disturbing urban legend is just the ammunition you need.
It's the greatest mystery since trying to determine if the Great Pumpkin actually exists.
Halloween is haunted-house season, the one time of year you when, if you want, you can pay a random group of actors to fill up an old warehouse with gory props and costumes and scare the snot out of some people. But if you're looking for a subtler, truly frightening experience, America is full of houses that really are haunted (well, maybe).
Basically once Labor Day has passed, we spend our time gearing up for Halloween, which means apple cider, carving pumpkins, and loads and loads of terrible scary movies. The only problem is that there are bad scary movies and then there are *bad* scary movies, and the only way to tell the difference between the two usually involves sacrificing 40 minutes or so of your life.
If you still haven't had your fill of Halloween trivia, we have a few more fun and eyebrow-raising spooky holiday facts for you. October 31 is a day—and especially a night—full of spine-tingling surprises. With a bit of Halloween knowledge under your belt, you can impress your friends, as well as the ghost and ghouls wandering around your neighborhood, with your detailed knowledge of jack-o'-lanterns and creepy, All Hallows' Eve history.
The season of the witch is upon us. Time to brush up on your history—these evil green-skinned sorcerers aren't necessarily what you think. For example, they aren't evil, green-skinned or sorcerers. (Well, maybe some are, but not usually.)

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Rodgers featured in SI story
A story in Sports Illustrated, out this week, features Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The story centers on quarterbacks like Rodgers who replace legends like Brett Favre.
The club has been dubbed the We Followed Legends Club. Members include Jay Fiedler (who followed Dan Marino), Marty Domres (heir to Johnny Unitas), Richard Todd (Joe Namath), Brian Griese (John Elway) and Cliff Stoudt (Terry Bradshaw).
It's an interesting read on Rodgers and his take on what he's about to get into. And here's the money quote from Rodgers, who is asked whether he feels pressure to connect with Packer fans the way Favre did. Says Rodgers: "I don't feel I need to sell myself to fans. They need to get on board now or keep their mouths shut."

ABC News received advance warning of Jimmy Kimmel's prank about a wolf supposedly prowling the athletes' village in Sochi but didn't steer other news organizations away from it, the network said Friday. The talk show host's hoax was so realistic that despite the tip, even one of his own network's news websites posted a story suggesting the report was real.
One media ethicist questioned whether a company that includes a major news organization should broadcast a joke that implied security problems at an Olympic Games where concerns about safety have been, and continue to be, a major issue. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs every weeknight on ABC.
Kimmel posted, through USA luger Kate Hansen's Twitter account, a video that depicted a wolf walking in the hallway outside of Hansen's Sochi dorm room. It was nearly 24 hours before Kimmel revealed it was a joke, shot with a rented wolf on a Los Angeles soundstage constructed to look exactly like the hallway outside Hansen's room.
ABC's entertainment division had no immediate comment on whether Kimmel sought approval in advance for the prank, or if anyone questioned whether it was a good idea. The comic has a history of trying to fool the media; last year, he staged a clip of a woman apparently set afire while twerking and posted it online, where news organizations jumped on the story.
An ABC News executive tipped in advance about the Hansen hoax alerted some of the network's shows to stay away from the story, but the word didn't spread widely enough. A network website posted a story for an hour assuming the wandering wolf was real before it was taken down, said ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider.
Because it was an off-the-record tip, ABC News didn't feel it could report the story before Kimmel revealed it, and didn't believe it had a responsibility to warn other news organizations that they could be disseminating false information, he said.
"The world is seeing these kinds of videos more and more, and every news organization has to do its own reporting and own vetting to decide whether or not they want to print, air or say something," Schneider said.
He added: "It is a piece of comedy. We need to keep that in perspective."
But Kelly McBride, a media ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank, said the episode says as much about the "bad actors" who spread falsehoods - meaning Kimmel - as it does about the media. The danger, McBride said, is that such incidents add to a growing public distrust of what they can believe in the news.
She was particularly disturbed about Hansen playing along with the joke. "I don't know if we can create a system that is going to screen that," she said. "News organizations that contacted her, they didn't do anything wrong."
One news organization duped was NBC, which holds the rights to broadcast the Olympics in the U.S. On his show Thursday, Kimmel aired a brief clip of Willie Geist reporting on the wolf on the "Today" show. On Friday, Geist said NBC was had by "the great Jimmy Kimmel." He said NBC approached Hansen before running the item, and the Olympian said that "it was me." Her confirmation was key to NBC going with the story, he said.
ESPN, which like ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co., was not tipped off about the hoax and did not run with the story on its news shows, a spokesman said.
CNN was among the news organizations to broadcast the story, discussing it on the network's morning show. The Associated Press decided not to publish a story after it devoted "significant resources" in Sochi and the U.S. trying to authenticate the video, said Lou Ferrara, the AP vice president and managing editor overseeing Olympics coverage.
"It wasn't just that it was a potentially viral video," Ferrara said in Sochi. "The news was that security may have been breached where the athletes stay. How did a wolf get into a place that was supposedly fortified? Was there a hole in the fence? Were there other weaknesses? How did it get past the guards? Was it even a wolf? These were all legitimate questions in the context of what has been reported about Sochi."
Ultimately, Ferrara said, the story seemed suspicious and other Olympic athletes had raised warning flags to reporters.

Ringsaker Lutheran Church and School
Someone suggested this place to us last fall, we waited all winter to visit, and it was worth the wait. Ringsaker Lutheran Church and School are about seven and half miles north of Cooperstown, and they're rich in history dating back to what is claimed to be the first Christian religious service in Griggs County, in 1879 or 1880.
The site of this church and school reminded us of Sims, North Dakota — it's a beautiful place with gently rolling hills… just spacious and appealing.
Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Romness Township.
This church and school are featured in our book, Churches of the High Plains.
The cemetery on the grounds is beautiful and well-kept, just like the church, with the abandoned one-room school just across the road.
Arthur Skramstad left his mark on the school.
A short walk south of the church and school leads to a closed road.
A short hike down the closed road leads to this abandoned and washed out bridge.

Posted November 26, 2012 on AP on Fox
A full postseason share for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants was worth a record $377,003, breaking the mark that had stood since the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals. In the first year of the expansion of the playoffs from eight teams to 10, the players' pool was a record $65.36 million, Major League Baseball said Monday. The previous mark of $59.1 million came in 2009. The Giants split $23.5 million, voting 50 full shares, partial shares equivalent to another 11.1, and 12 cash awards. All-Star outfielder Melky Cabrera, suspended for the final 45 games of the regular season and the division series, automatically received a full share without his teammates having to make a decision. Under baseball's joint drug agreement, he was eligible for his share because his suspension ended in time for him to be on the active roster for a majority of the Giants' postseason games, even though San Francisco decided not to use him. Under Major League Rule 45, he gets a full share because h...

i still don't understand how they can claim to be enemies yet live in teh same apartment and have everyone around them know about it. their excuse that they are both low on money is obviously a lie. how can they be low on money and live in the penthouse of the hotel? even if they are splittingthe costs, it will still be expensive. how can people not suspect that there's more going on between them?
| reesessweetie chapter 2 . 9/27/2010
i wish bella had said something to him to let him know that she knew about his other women. he did break their agreement. and he had no reason tob e soo angry at her
| reesessweetie chapter 3 . 9/27/2010
gosh, i do not like this edward. at all. how can he just be with other women and expect bella to still be with him? and to get so angry at her when she refused to do what he wanted? arhghgh
| keyecullen chapter 3 . 9/12/2010
Must not have had this kick butt story on story alert because I missed where you posted chapter 3. Well, I have not remedied now.
What a chapter! Edward is an ass. Just sayin'. Damn, I just don't know why he can't admit to Bella that he loves her but I guess that goes back to my previous statement of Edward being an ass! *giggle* All those things he is thinking in his head about Bella, well, he should be telling her.
So, now Bella is drunk, heart broken and has a sprained ankle. Edward? Well he is hungover and gotten his piece of ass from Tanya. I can't even imagine what the conversation is going to be like once they are both sober. If they even have one at all.
Can't wait for the next update.

Cooper Avenue brings robust American eats to South Beach's New World Center
Cooper Avenue brings robust American eats to South Beach's New World Center
Cooper Avenue
1661 Pennsylvania Ave, Miami Beach
The goods: Restaurateur Amir Ben-Zion (Gigi) brings Cooper Avenue, a sprawling market, bakery, coffee shop and bar, to South Beach's New World Center.
Ambience: The cavernous, industrial space boasts polished concrete floors, a clamorous open kitchen, floor-to-ceiling windows, a blond wood bar, patio and private dining room.
The grub: Robust American. Prices are reasonable: starters $10-$16, mains $18-$42 and sides $8. Sandwiches, salads and pasta compose the lunch menu, while dinner gets heartier with 10 cuts of steak, taleggio meatballs, chunky lobster salad, house-made pappardelle pasta with Manchego-covered braised lamb, short ribs and a raw bar with oysters, blood orange-drenched scallops and crudos. Desserts include beignets, chocolate and hazelnut mousse and apple tartin.
Verdict: Cooper Avenue is a South Beach food fetishist's paradise.

Enjoyable stay
Convenient location with approx.
10minute walk to High Street shops and restaurants. Basic room provision but all that is needed for a comfortable stay. Would have no problem in rebooking with the hotel.

It said on the hotel website that car park locally was £5 We were dissapointed to find that the car they referred to only opened at 6pm So car parking would be much more expensive which we thought was misleading We also booked a standard room and would not like to see a small room as it was very very small.

- My $0.02 as a lifelong model builder. My personal preference is the Zap
line of adhesives ( I won't call them all CA's, cyanoacrylates, because
they aren't).
While I haven't tried it for this application they make one called
Flex-Zap that remains flexible, like a stiff silicone. As someone

They also make something called Rail Zip, but I have no experience with
