Chapter 6: This argument may be our last
I was speaking on the phone to Lindsey and Leah after I bathed the twins and put them to bed.
"Is he home yet?" Leah asked.
"No. I'm getting worried. He never stays out this late. I feel so fucking empty right now."
"I told you." Lindsey said critically.
I sat on the arm of the couch.
"That's your fifth time saying that. It didn't help me then and it damn sure isn't helping me now."
Leah sighed. "Jenna, you should rest. It sounds like you're getting stressed; you shouldn't be stressed during the pregnancy. It can cause a miscarriage."
I nodded. "I know. I know. That's what my doctor said."
There was a beeping noise. Someone was on the other line.
"Hold on, guys. Someone's on the other line."
I clicked onto the other line.
"What?" I asked.
"Robinson, your boyfriend is over here falling apart. He's going through all of my beer."
Oh fuck. I drove him to drink. Shit!
"Oh god. Please stop him, Sean." I begged.
"He's a grown ass man, Robinson, but I'll try for you. He told me what happened."
"I'm sure he did. Please convince him to come home, Sean. Please."
"Alright. I'll try."
He hangs up and I hang up after him and go back to the other line.
Leah and Lindsey were talking about the twins.
"Guys? He is drinking over Sean's house."
"Damn." Lindsey whispered.
"He's going to come in here fucking wasted."
"It's going to be okay, Jenna. Take it from me; when you get out of an abusive relationship, you do whatever you can to stay in a relationship worth staying in." Lindsey said.
I nodded.
Lindsey was one of the smartest people I know and she was dead right.
"I know, Lins. I'm tired, horny, hungry, and nauseous as hell, I just want to lie down." I whispered.
"Alright." Leah and Lindsey said simultaneously.
"Bye guys."
"Bye, Jen." Lindsey said before getting off the line.
"Night' prego." Leah said before hanging up.
I walked to my bedroom and shut the door before stripping out of my dress and laying down onto the bed. I just want my baby to come back to me.
Nate's POV
Things were getting kind of hazy. Who knew that beer could make me drunk.
"Still pissed or is the beer actually helping?" Sean asked.
His girlfriend, Svetlana came over and sat on him.
"It's…helping." I said slowly.
"Look, go home to Jenna, fuck her hard and you'll be fine."
"Sean, fucking is not the answer to everything."
Sean smiled. "It is in my book. She's sorry."
"She doesn't want to sell it. She hurt me, Sean."
"Don't be such a pussy, Hamilton. Just go home, talk to her and the both of you will be fine."
"When did you become a fucking therapist?" I asked.
"Don't know. It's always just been part of my charm."
I stood up.
"Fuck your charm."
"About time you grew some balls, buddy."
All I could think about was Jenna and how upset she made me.
I don't think she truly realized how much she hurt me.
After we got together, got the twins, having Ana, seriously? She's still doing this? I'm not going to let her do it.
I'm going to make her sell that goddamn house rather she likes it or not. I know she'll always love Tristan but….I mean….come the fuck on, Jenna. Paying for his house? After all he's done to you?
"I'm leaving." I slammed the beer bottle on the table and ended up breaking it and it sliced through my hand. Damn that hurts.
"Fuck." I studied the red on my hand and then look down at the broken beer bottle.
"I'll get that-"
Sean shook his head. "Just go. Just go, Nate. You need Jenna."
I nodded and was out the door on my way back home.
Jenna's POV
My eyes opened as I heard someone open the bedroom door. I sighed in relief. Thank god. Nate is safe.
I felt him get into bed and I immediately turned to him.
"No, Jenna. I'm tired as hell. Don't want to talk right now."
"Nate. I'm tired too. Please talk to me. Please. This is stressing me out."
"Jenna, you pissed me off. I want to go to sleep. Please."
Fuck. The hormones are kicking in.
My eyes water as he pushes me away. "Nate," My voice cracks.
He doesn't answer.
I just lay back into the pillows and close my eyes.
Damn…I really fucked up.
Before I know it, I'm asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, Nate is gone.
I can hear somebody slamming stuff around in the kitchen.
I grab my robe and tie it up as I quietly open the door and walk down the hall.
I peek into the twins' room, they're still sleeping.
I close their door back and go into the living room and then the kitchen.
Nate is feeling up a pot of water and he places it on the stove. He turns and looks at me for a second before going back to what he was doing.
"Nate, please talk to me. I feel so damn empty right now. Do you want to break up with me?" I asked.
Nate froze.
He slowly turned to look at me. "No. You know I want you."
"You're treating me like otherwise." I said as I pulled a chair out and sat down.
Nate sighed and leaned against the counter. "Tell me something, Jenna. How would you feel if I was paying for my ex-girlfriend's house?"
"Of course I'd be a little upset about it but I'd let you do it if it meant that much to you." I replied.
Yeah, its messed up that I'm doing this but it's my money and doing this makes me happy.
"I want you to stop." Nate said glaring at me.
"It's not like I'm spending your money. I'm not going to stop." I said.
Nate just ignored me the rest of the morning.
Every time I tried to talk to him, he'd walk away.
He was acting like a fucking two year old.
When it was a quarter to twelve in the afternoon, I went into the bedroom and he was laying down watching TV.
I stared at him. "I'm going over Leah and Ronnie's house. Want to come with me?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"You're really mad over this? I understand why but it's not like it's your money, Nate."
"It's not about the money, Jenna."
"Then why are you mad?" I asked.
"Because I want you to get over it."
"Get over Tristan?" I asked.
I can't just get over Tristan.
"You feel like you owe him. You never owed him Jenna. Even when you two were smiling and getting married and all that shit in front of your parents, Sean, me , and Carl, we knew there was something wrong. We knew he abused you but you just kept standing right by his side."
"Because I loved him." I said.
"You don't owe him anything. You feel like you're doing yourself a favor by paying for his house but you're just letting him take over…..even in his death. Just let go of it, Jenna. Save us all this time, and Let. Go."
Nate was right. But regardless of what he said, I wanted to keep the house a little longer.
I just had to.
Until everything is set and stone.
"So what happens if I don't stop?" I asked.
Nate stared into my eyes and shrugged. "You tell me."
I glared at him feeling nothing but anger. Anger, hunger, lust, love….but mostly anger.
"I'll tell you this, Nathan Hamilton. I can do with my money, whatever the fuck I want to. If I want to pay for my ex-husband's house, I can do that. Fuck what you say."
Nate looked at me surprised. I've never been this mad at him nor have he ever been this mad at me. All kinds of emotions were running through my head.
"Don't cuss at me, Jenna. Go do what you got to do."
I sighed.
I threw his keys at him and he cussed while I slammed the bedroom doors closed and walked out the front door and slammed it.
Not at all how I expected that conversation to go down.
The exact opposite actually.
I drove over to Leah's house, got out of the car, and knocked on her door.
I was feeling really bad and I hate to come over here because I really don't want to take this out on anyone else that I love.
Oh fuck. The waterworks.
Leah opened the door and I threw myself in her arms.
"Jenna, what's wrong?" She asked patting my back.
I pulled myself away from her and walked into the house.
Leah followed me and sat down on the couch beside me.
Ronnie came in and he smiled at me and sat on the couch beside the one I was sitting on.
"It's Nate. I told him about Tristan's house and he got so angry and he's ignoring me and it fucking hurts."
"Wait…what about Tristan's house?" Ronnie asked.
Oh god.
I explained to him what I've been doing.
"Why?" He asked.
I couldn't explain. He wouldn't understand. No one's understood although it's not hurting anyone…physically.
"I just……"
"Jenna, I'll be the first person to say Tristan was an asshole."
Actually Lindsey was the first to say that.
"Ronnie, it's beyond me why I do it. Even after he hurt me."
Ronnie slowly looked to Leah and she had a disappointed look on her face. Ronnie then looked back to me. "Well you're not alone in the abusive ex department." He said.
I looked to Leah.
"Only if you feel like talking about it." I said.
She sat back and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.
"I told you about my ex, Alex. He was my best friend's brother. He was so good looking. I guess that's what drew me in.
He was very abusive and he even….raped me right in front of Ronnie."
Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.
Oh my god.
Forget about my problems. I hugged Leah.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"It's okay. It was a long time ago. I would have had his baby, but I had a still born."
"What happened to him?" I asked.
Leah sighed. "My best friend, Katie, shot him in the head, and then killed herself that night."
Once again, oh shit. Oh shit, Oh shit.
Jesus, Leah has been through way more than I thought.
"She killed herself because she killed her brother?" I asked.
"And because her brother raped her." She said.
Okay, HOLY SHIT.
Leah really had to go through all that? My problem with Tristan was nothing compared to that.
"Damn, Leah, I mean…I don't know what to say."
"Katie was just everything to me. And I'll admit, I sometimes go back to think about Alex. Only I don't think about happy memories like you do with Tristan because there were no happy memories with Alex."
"Yeah, I just…hate the fact that Tristan turned out just like that son of a bitch." Ronnie said.
"I soon met Ronnie when I was pregnant with Alex's baby. Fell in love almost instantly." She smiled at Ronnie and he gave her back a dazzling smile.
My phone rings and I look at the caller ID which said "asshole." I know who that is.
I pressed "send" and held the phone to my ear.
"Sean Kipser, what do you want?"
"Nate is still pissed. He was supposed to come home and fuck you but he still sounds pissed."
I sigh and lean back against the couch.
"Stop playing therapist, Sean. You won't succeed. I asked you to be my therapist before and it just made things worst with Tristan."
"That's only because I didn't know what was going on between the both of you then. If I would have known that he was beating your ass daily, my advice would have been to get the hell out of there."
"Too late for that."
"Indeed. Mr. Niles has checked out."
"Don't be an asshole."
"I just want you to stay with Nate. I actually like the both of you together. With Tristan, I don't believe he deserved you but with Nate, he fell in love with you the second we first saw you."
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"You must not have been paying attention to the way he looked at you when we first met you. Probably too blinded by Tristan."
"So what do I do now, Dr. Sean Kipser?" I asked.
"Go home; make love to Nate and cuddle or whatever you boring couples do afterwards." I can tell he's smiling on the other line and I smile back.
"Thanks Sean." I whisper.
"No prob, Robinson. Got to go fuck my girl. Bye kid."
"Bye." We hung up at the same time.
"You okay, Jenna?" Leah asked. I nodded and sighed.
"I'll be fine. I mean…I have to go home, make up with Nate.
Deal with Tristan's ex.
Wait seven and a half months until I can dye my hair back red.
Have Ana without being stressed.
Take care of my twins and make sure my dad's okay. Other than that, I'm peachy fucking keen."
Leah raised her eyebrow.
"Sorry, this pregnancy is making me go insane. I should get back home."
"Alright, prego." We hugged again and I hugged Ronnie.
Leah got up and went and disappeared into the kitchen while Ronnie walked me to the door.
"I never asked you this and this may be kind of stupid to ask but…..do you feel awkward around me because…you know…it's my fault why Tristan is dead?"
Ronnie looked bewildered for a second. "Jenna, I'm pretty sure this is what all people have been saying but….he brought it on himself.
I would jump off a fucking building before I'd ever put my hands on Leah or any woman for that matter like that.
And you don't deserve that.
He was always jealous because our parents kept me and not him.
He was one that always liked control."
"Yeah. I could tell." I mutter.
"But you know, I think you three, you, Lindsey, and Leah are amazing.
All of you entered an abusive relationship.
Bad shit happened; you all got rid of those idiots.
Got with someone better. Some women are kind of stuck on their ex."
"I am."
"Different. You're not depressed, wishing he was back alive."
Oh that's true.
"Well, I think it's good that you make Leah happy. She deserves it."
"I'm glad you're happy with Nate."
We hugged each other and I waved as I left out of the house.
Okay. Okay.
Now to go home, apologize to Nate. Make love, and we'll be fine.
We'll be perfectly fine.
I get into my car and drive off.
This fight was stupid, dumb, and retarded.
We just have to talk, fuck, and we'll be fine.
I get distracted as I near my house and I hear police and fire truck sirens.
As I drive onto my street, I see my house up in flames. I bring the car to a hard halt and get out of my car and run towards it.
"Oh my god!" I notice Nate's car still in the driveway and it was on fire.
Oh my god.
Tears came out of my eyes as a man grabs me and pulls me back.
My Nate. And my twins.

A major winter storm continues to pull away from the bluegrass state. This storm left behind 2"-8" of snow and ice across much of our region. As skies clear, temps will take a major tumble tonight. Readings will hit the single digits in many spots and could make a run at 0 in a few locations.
Winds will continue to gust up and give us a wind chill reading around 0 or below by early Tuesday.
Skies on Tuesday will be mainly sunny with highs topping out in the upper 20s to around 30.
We should finally edge above freezing on Wednesday with partly sunny skies boosting thermometers into the upper 30s.

Cool review. Could we link to it on the Super Ego page?Originally posted by tostka

Cool review. Could we link to it on the Super Ego page?Originally posted by tostka
I did a longish commentary with pictures over at notebookforums:
Current Carry: Skookum Dog Citizen Canine prototype, Founder's Briefcase (every day carry), Small Cafe Bag (every day carry), Shop Bags (groceries, extra random stuff), Aeronaut 45 (travel), Synapse 19 (day hikes), Smart Alec (longer day hikes), Skookum Dog Road Duffel (Medium) (travel), Clear Organizer Wallet, Travel Stuff Sacks, Organizer Cubes
I currently use the RoadWired Mega Media bag. It holds a lot of stuff, but I'm always looking to improve.
So, how big IS the SuperEgo bag? I'd need to carry the BrainCell 4 to house my laptop. Is that all that will fit in the zippered laptop compartment of the SuperEgo?
I understand there is an outside compartment on the back of the SuperEgo for files -- how thick a stack will that hold?
How much stuff will the "compartments" under the flap hold?
I've read the dimensions on the website, and length and height are bigger than the RoadWired bag, but it's hard to tell about depth. The printed depth for the SuperEgo is smaller that my RoadWired bag, but I'm measuring the RoadWired bag fully stuffed, so I don't know how that affects the comparison.
Any help would be appreciated!

Cool review. Could we link to it on the Super Ego page?
Sorry, I hadn't been back to the forum since my prior post... Took awhile to see your request.
Well I've used the bag for awhile and I LOVE everything about it except one thing. The shoulder strap. Two things about it. I would like the option to be able to replace the strap with another one. Right now my bag with power supply, laptop, mouse, books etc weighs about 20 lbs. A more padded strap would be great. The other problem is some sort of a swivel on the strap. This would let me just throw the strap on my shoulder and let it work itself out. :-)
But please, don't get me wrong, I LOVE THIS bag and would by it over again!
Two things:
One, I completely agree with agfisher about the strap.
Two, I would have posted an exhaustive review of the Super Ego when I first got it back in mid-April, but tostka did it for me. I have the Dell 9200, which is almost identical to tostka's 9300.
So, the strap. The strap definitely gets twisted, which means I have to untwist it everytime I shoulder the bag. I have a TerraGrip shoulder strap on my 2XL Brain Cell (which my 9200 fits in perfectly, and in turn, fits the Super Ego perfectly), and love this strap. I just wish I could use it on the Super Ego itself. I would also love to have a cell/mp3 case that fits the Super Ego's strap; this would allow me to be more at peace with the Super Ego strap.
BTW, I chose the Black/Steel/Wasabi color combination, and I have a Wasabi buckle (never used) and a Blue seat buckle strap. I love the 747 buckle, and the Wasabi interior is awesome because I love the color and it keeps the interior light enough to see way down inside. I will never have a dark color interior on any future bags again for this reason.
Thanks for a great bag!

A New Banksy Sprouts In LA
Something's coming from Banksy in October 2013.
Here's an artist who can clearly spot the humor hidden in the weeds. Banksy, the London-based street artist, filmmaker, and political satirist, has taken to Los Angeles with a new work: Better Out than In. The piece features the stencil of a tagger, vomiting up a waterfall of flowers and leaves. It also promises something—a show?—on the horizon from the artist in October.

No proof what so ever to say this is actually in LA.....
Come on, guys. Nowhere is there any evidence to substantiate the rumor that Banksy's new piece is located in Los Angeles. It may turn out to be true, but for now you and lots of other careless new outlets are simply regurgitating an unverified rumor.
I look forward to learning where the piece is located in Los Angeles. I think it's interesting that he painted it on a cinderblock wall, which makes it difficult, if not impossible to remove and sell off. That's what happened to "Flower Girl", another Banksy piece which was painted on the wall of a gas station at La Brea Avenue and Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The Story shares its aesthetics with the Amazon Kindle and has a 6-inch display with a QWERTY keyboard underneath for searches and other tasks; the system is extra-thin and has a 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to audio. A comic book-specific reader is a new addition optimized for the graphics-heavy format.
While not all of its feature set is known, it supports protected e-books in the universal EPUB format as well as PDF, raw text and Office documents in Excel, PowerPoint and Word form. An SDHC card slot acts as primary storage for as much as 32GB in books with current memory card technology.
Pre-orders start on September 16th in Korea. Pricing hasn't been fixed but should hover between $280 and $320 with an actual launch. An international release is guaranteed as iRiver has said the Story is meant for world release and is already talking to American and Russian resellers about carrying the hardware. [via MobileRead]

Transfer Students: Courses you have already taken may qualify you for advanced placement
Upon completion of your first-year requirements, you will be eligible to apply to the pre-professional B. S. L. A.
Program. You will be evaluated on your transcripts, portfolio and grade point average (minimum 2.5 GPA required).
After completing second and third-year requirements, you are eligible to apply to the professional landscape architecture program. Your application must include a portfolio of your design work, transcript and GPA (minimum 3.0 GPA required).

Students who already have a degree in Landscape Architecture from another university may apply for the 1.5 -2 Year Post Professional version of the MLA. This option is desirable for students who may wish to pursue a research specialization in Landscape Architecture, consider teaching at the university level and/or obtain their MLA to advance their career.

International Incentives Show Brings Together Promotional Swag Manufacturers
The 42nd International Premium Incentives Show kicked off yesterday at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, gathering manufacturers of promotional swag and other products geared toward businesses – store-front signs, digital photo frames, and tissue box covers, for example – as well as characters offered for licensing, such as Rose O'Neill's Kewpie (not affiliated with the mayonnaise-producing Kewpie Corporation) and the characters from the manga-and-anime about the high school baseball club manager that read Drucker's Management.
Though not a technology-oriented event, there were companies like Green House with some interesting tech-related things there – USB thumb drives were aplenty, because apparently, those things are commonly given out as promotional merchandise – but more prominent were products that exemplified Japanese ingenuity and eccentricity – plastic file folders with rough surfaces for pencils, or bandaids with national flags printed on them, for example.
Detailed posts of things I found interesting will follow, with edits to this article linking to them.

Knight Of Luxury? Queen To Honor LVMH's Bernard Arnault
While the title will only be honorary (he is, y'know, French), it does mark another in an increasingly long line of knight and ladyhoods bestowed by the British Crown on fashion's leading lights (Dames Anna Wintour and Vivienne Westwood being recent examples), a trend that underlines the industry's increasing cultural and financial significance. All in all, a great day for Sir Bernard, well, almost. (Forbes)

Karen Barclay
this wiki
|Known Relatives:
| Andy Barclay (Son)
Mike Norris (Husband)
|Portrayed By:
|Catherine Hicks
|First Appearance:
|Child's Play
"The heart! Shoot him in the heart!"
--Karen to Mike Norris.
Karen Lee Barclay is the secondary protagonist of Child's Play and a widowed mother. Her husband died at some point before the beginning of the film. She works for a department store in the jewelry department in Chicago.
Although she only appears in the first film, she's still mentioned through Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3 & Curse of Chucky.
She is a very nurturing, loving, caring and a devoted working mother to Andy. When Andy's 6th birthday comes up, she prepares by decorating the house with birthday streamers and presents. Even though it is his birthday, Andy does surprise his mother with a breakfast of cereal and badly burned toast. Karen is very touched by this and hugs her son, telling him, "Happy birthday, honey".
She excitedly gives her son some nice clothes for his birthday. But she knows he wants some toys for his birthday and not "boring" clothes. He does like his gifts but tells his mother he wants a Good Guy doll to play with. Karen apologizes as she did not have enough time to pay for the expensive doll. After dropping off Andy at daycare, Karen resumes her work at the jewelry department.
A little down at first, she gets a big surprise. Her best friend Maggie, approaches and tells her that she found a peddler outside who has a Good Guy doll. Even better that he is willing to sell it at a cheap price; however when they go to him, he changes his mind. This annoys Maggie, but Karen agrees, knowing how much Andy really wanted the toy. Their moment is a little ruined when their boss Mr. Criswell scolds them for leaving work. He then adds that Mrs. Howell has called in sick and tells Karen she has to take her spot. If she doesn't, he'll fire her.
Maggie's DeathEdit
Maggie kindly offers to babysit Andy for her. When Karen has some free time before starting Mrs. Howell's work shift she goes home and surprises Andy with his new Good Guy doll, named Chucky. She goes back to work, believing she's given her son a good birthday. However, this would go horribly wrong, she'd return home from work seeing the police there. Maggie had apparently fallen out of the window and landed on a car, leading to her demise. Her first thought was to find Andy, as she rushed to her apartment. She finds Andy in his room, being interviewed by Detective Norris. Karen is stunned by the news about Maggie but she becomes infuriated when Detective Norris implies Andy may have been involved, and throws the police out of the house.
Andy comes to his mother and Detective Norris, insisting that Chucky is alive and was in the kitchen with Maggie. Karen believes Andy's just making up a story and sends him into his room, but not before kicking out the police. When she goes to check in on her son, she sees him talking to his Good Guy doll Chucky. Whether to keep Andy quiet or gain his trust, Chucky sits Andy down and tells him a story of sorts. He starts by telling him that his real name is Charles Lee Ray and that he was sent from heaven by Andy's father to play with him. Karen is at first amused, but it quickly changes. Andy soon adds that Chucky had said to him that, "Aunt Maggie was a real bitch and got what she deserved".
This disturbs Karen, but Andy tells her he never said it. Chucky did. Karen asks him to stop, saying she knows he's making all this up. Andy still denies this and says that Chucky's really alive. She still tries to convince him that Chucky's not alive and is just a doll. Andy refuses to believe and an angered Karen shouts at him sternly to stop it. Andy then asks if it's because of Aunt Maggie that she's yelling at him. Karen calms down and admits it. He apologizes to her and promises not to make up stories.
Karen drops off Andy at school the next day, but before leaving she asks if Andy's alright. Considering what happened with Maggie, Karen wants to make sure Andy's alright. She asks if he had bad dreams and if he remembers what she told him; that Chucky's only a doll. Andy shakes his head that he didn't have bad dreams and nods understanding what his mother told him. Or so she thought. Karen never did realize that Charles had more significance. Charles was the Lakeshore Strangler who had recently died, nor did Karen know that he had possessed the doll she bought and was manipulating her son.
Eddie's DeathEdit
As soon as Karen is gone, Chucky convinces Andy to take him somewhere. To an old house, which was later revealed to be the home of his old partner Eddie Caputo. Most likely Chucky instructs Andy to stay outside, not knowing what Chucky wanted. He went away to use the bathroom. While he was gone, Chucky snuck into the house and turned on the gas of Eddie's oven. As Andy looked for him, Eddie was also looking for what he thought was an intruder. Eddie foolishly fired his gun and it caused the house to blow up.
Once again, the police found Andy near the crime scene. Detective Norris, saw this as more than a coincidence and called Karen from work. When she came over, he asked if she had picked up Andy yet. When she says no, he shows her that Andy's being interviewed by his partner Jack. Jack talked to the boy and asked him why Maggie fell out of the window. Andy tells him its because she saw Chucky and it scared her so much she fell down; a lie that Chucky probably told Andy.
Karen soon rushes to Andy's side, and calmly tells him that no one believes him. If Andy didn't tell the truth, the police would take him away from her. Andy begins to understand it and confronts Chucky, begging him to say something. Andy shakes Chucky, confronting him about how he lied to him. Chucky however just repeats the doll's lines. Andy, now scared, rushes to his mother telling her he's doing it on purpose and said Chucky told him, he'd kill him if he ever told anyone about him.
Dr. Ardmore, watching from behind the glass, announces his presence and says he's from the County General, mental hospital. After seeing more than enough, he suggests Andy stay a few days at the hospital. Having no real choice, Karen reluctantly gives her son to them.
The Truth Comes OutEdit
Karen, broken and defeated that her son will probably be locked away. She sits at home at first, looking at Chucky. Feeling angered she shouts at the doll, "Say something you little bastard. SAY SOMETHING DAMN IT!". Stressed, she goes to the kitchen to have a glass of water, to calm her nerves. She soon goes to throw away the Good Guy box he came in. As she does, she notices two batteries fall out of the box and reads the box again which said "Batteries Included".
She then turns in shock, meaning that the doll's been running without batteries. Karen calmly but cautiously checks the doll's back again. She soon finds that there are no batteries in the doll, Chucky's head immediately turns backwards saying, "Hi, I'm Chucky! Wanna Play!". This horrifies her and she drops the doll. Despite being scared, Karen pulls the doll out from under the couch.
She tries making him talk again. She angrily tells him she'll make him talk, taking the doll to the fire place and lights up a fire. She angrily exclaims to him, "I said talk to me, damn it! Or else I'll throw you in the fire!" Much to her own shock and horror, Chucky comes alive, curses at her in an adult man's voice and tries to attack her. While she fights him off as best she can, Chucky is able to wound her shoulder and leaves a big bite mark on her arm. Karen screamed in horror and tossed him over the other side of her living room. When it appears he'll come at her again, Karen crawls near the fireplace. Chucky apparently leaves her apartment, wanting to finish out his revenge.
Karen rushes to the door, seeing that he's taken the elevator and left. Realizing he's alive, Karen now sees she must try to prove Andy's telling the truth.
Searching for ChuckyEdit
Desperate for help, Karen reaches out to Detective Norris. She tries to convince him that Andy's telling the truth and shows him the batteries that came with the box. Stating that there's no way Chucky could have been moving and talking without them, meaning the doll's alive. Norris, believes she's lost it and tries to leave. She even presents her bite mark to him as proof that she wasn't lying. When he still refuses to believe her, she decides to find him herself.
With no real leads, she goes back to the peddler she bought Chucky from. Detective Norris warns her that the area isn't a safe place to go to at night. But Karen vows to free her son and sets off. Karen wanders through the city, asking anyone if they've seen or known the peddler. She eventually finds the peddler and asks him where he got the doll. He agrees depending on what she has to give him.
Karen offers what money she has in her purse, when that doesn't suffice he attempts to rape her. Karen's saved in time by Detective Norris before the peddler could hurt her. He then makes the peddler answer where he got the doll from. The peddler then says he got it from a burned out toy store, the same store where Mike had shot and killed Charles Lee Ray.
Mike is disturbed by this. He, at first, refuses to tell Karen why he's upset over that. He then explains to her the significance of the store. When Karen decides to go to the store, he explains to her that she won't find anything there. The store was struck by lightning and he then admits that he was the cop who killed Charles Lee Ray. As he drives her home, she asks him if Charles Lee Ray said anything before he died.
Detective Norris says he remembers him threatening to kill him and Eddie Caputo. As they reach her apartment, Karen tries to warn Mike that he isn't safe. Chucky's killed Eddie, now he's next. Refusing to believe, he makes her get out of the car. Later on, Karen would be proven right. As he drove home, Chucky tried to kill Detective Norris. But Norris was able to fight him off by shooting him in the chest.
The next day, Karen would go to Charles Lee Ray's old home to find some clues about how he got into the doll. There she saw paintings in his home. Mostly depicted of voodoo, she gets a surprise when she sees Detective Norris arriving. He admits he believes her now, saying that Chucky tried to kill him. He reveals he did some digging and found out his nickname back then was Chucky and spent a lot of time with a voodoo practitioner named John Simonsen.
Searching for AndyEdit
Both Karen and Detective Norris head to his apartment. But they're too late, Chucky got there before them. And has tortured John with a voodoo doll and left him for dead. Before he dies, he tells Karen that Chucky's gone after Andy now to transfer his soul into the boy's body. He tells her they must kill him through the heart. Realizing he'll head for Andy at the County General Mental Hospital, they rush to save Andy. But they arrive too late to get to Andy.
The police are already there, Chucky tried coming for Andy. And he killed Dr. Ardmore when he got in the way, however Andy was able to escape Chucky. But Karen knows where Andy will go. He'll head for home as she instructed him to do when he's in trouble. As they head home, Andy reaches home before they do. Unfortunately so does Chucky. He eventually knocks out Andy and prepares to perform the transfer ritual. But Karen and Mike are able to stop him before he can finish it. After a prolonged struggle with them, Chucky is thrown into the fireplace by Karen and despite some coaxing by Chucky, Andy manages to light a match and ignite the fireplace, ultimately setting Chucky ablaze.
Andy and Karen, thinking Chucky is dead, go to help the injured Mike Norris. After Andy gets the first aid kit from under the sink, he discovers Chucky is gone. Very burnt but alive, Chucky chases after Andy and Karen, who barricade themselves in the bedroom; Karen shoots him several times, missing his heart, but scattering his head, arm and a leg in the hallway. After Norris' partner, Jack Santos, arrives, the scattered doll parts attempt to attack at the instructions of Chucky's screaming severed head. Karen, remembering John's last words, tells Mike to shoot Chucky in the heart.Though neither adults know how they'll explain this, Karen takes Andy to go and get medical help for Mike.
Karen's Ultimate FateEdit
Karen Barclay doesn't appear in any more of the Child's Play installments. She's seen only in photographs that Andy owns in Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3 and Curse of Chucky. While the police denied the story of the killer doll, Karen stood by her son. However both mother and son would regret that. Because of it, Karen was forced to go get psychiatric evaluations to prove she's mentally stable. With no apparent living relative, Andy was put in the foster care system many times.
Because no one ever believed her and she never recanted her son's story, Karen was deemed mentally unstable. As Andy grew up in foster home, after foster home.
In the post-credits scene of Curse of Chucky, it's revealed that Karen is still alive and released from the mental facility and hinted at that she married Detective Mike Norris.

How to Anticipate Customer Needs
Anticipating a customer's needs is an important part of most retail and wholesale businesses, especially in a more challenging retail environment so they choose to come back. Anticipating needs also provides opportunities for personal and professional growth. A business that takes the extra step of anticipating and providing for an obvious corollary need can generate loyal, repeat customers; and even a humble clerk who is alert to the needs of the customer standing in front of them is sure to advance.
While much of this may involve remembering or noting the desires of the individual customer, it also largely means putting yourself in a customer's place, which takes a little practice. The needs of a truck driver versus a pregnant mother with children may differ, even for the purchase of a cup of coffee. Below are some steps to help you improve your anticipation of a customer's needs.
1Do your best to put yourself into that individual customer's place in the transaction (fulfill a need). Their needs might be unusual, recurring, or even non-existent beyond a basic purchase. Much of the anticipation of a customer's needs comes down to being aware when there might even be any, to picking up the facial cues or body language they are giving you. Ignore these at your business' peril; a simple "anything else?", asked correctly, makes all the difference.
- Have you taken time to try out or play with your products or services? What things did you discover about them that you would like to be helped with as a customer?
- Think about your own customer experience in general. How do you like to be treated and helped when getting service?
- Network with your market in a more relaxed environment by participating in events such as conferences, conventions, and informal classes. You'll learn what your future best customers are looking for, and what your casual customers would love to find out about. Bear in mind that casual participants in your market may have different priorities from the most regular and serious participants. They might be more concerned with price than features, or initially more influenced by mass advertising.
2Be receptive of unusual needs that are normally spoken by the customer (not from your creating a need). This makes unusual needs one of the easiest needs to deal with; while you may get a vague, questioning look for recurring needs, that is less likely, but still possible here. If an unusual need becomes recurring, and your establishment is able to accommodate this customer, expect them to be your best advertisement ever.
3Empathize, feel the need: Realize that your correct attitude toward their need is what is paramount. Being in sympathy with an unusual need, even if you couldn't fulfill it, is at least as important. On days when you aren't at your best as a service provider, get in character first, and pretend you are on stage. Fake it till you make it.
4Be accommodating: Avoid passing your reluctance, lack of knowledge, or laid back attitude (laziness) over to the customer. Instead, find polite and reassuring ways to let the customer know how their request can be accommodated or give reasons as to why it won't be possible. If you feel defensive when a customer asks for something out of the ordinary, is this because it means more work for you, or is it because you're not sure what to do? Or maybe it's because you're stuck in your ways and dislike doing things differently? In each case, the issue is with you and not the customer.
5Note that recognizing and meeting recurring needs of regular customers are a business' bread and butter. Your patron can, most likely, go one block over and get the same product; you remembering that they like lemon rind with their coffee, for instance, and having it for them with a smile, is what keeps them coming back. Also, being prepared to be friendly and take the time to at least ask them how they are makes all the difference between using your business over another one.
6Take the extra moment, possibly with just eye contact, to affirm their importance to you and your business. Recognize that quite a few customers will have no additional needs beyond a basic purchase. Their body language and facial expression will tell you this; however, they still appreciate the extra second you took. Hovering waiters, take note; sometimes the best service is no service.
7Smile: This speaks to your openness as a service person, your approachability. The phrase "the customer is always right" is a well-known rephrasing of this. Customers naturally seek out places where they won't be belittled or brushed off, even for unusual requests.
- In wholesale trade, mention that you could have a certain perk available; perhaps, a quantity discount for them as a regular customer. For example, paper companies often give printing companies who are regular customers the next price bracket so that a ream/package of paper or a box of 500 envelopes is priced at the carton price and a carton is at the skid quantity price, with free delivery on a certain day, like on Tuesdays, to their part of the city or out to a local town--and offer free delivery on a certain large quantities on other days, which may encourage the customer to stock up.
8Expect a certain amount of idle trade due solely to your practice of affirmation. People are going to come and spend money at your business, or on a certain clerk's shift, simply because they are made to feel better; the fact that they enjoy the experience means everything.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- People don't usually expect you to read their minds, although this can be helpful for recurring type requests.
- Establishing this continuing relationship and communication really amounts to having enough presence of mind to recognize an unstated request, often by way of body language, a lingering, a quizzical mood of the customer. Also, don't be shy to clarify if you're not sure.
- You can't please everyone all the time, and as a service person you will have customers who seem to wish to prove this. Often a restatement of a frustrated customer's need in the correct tone of voice can clarify any misunderstanding.
- Anticipating customers' needs is an ever-evolving area that has been dealt with generally here, while in practice is often industry specific. If you're aware of excellent ways to anticipate customer needs that have been overlooked here, please edit them in.

LSU starting senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger is expected to return to action for the bowl game after injuring his left knee midway through the fourth quarter of the No. 15 Tigers' 31-27 victory over Arkansas Saturday at Tiger Stadium.
"I certainly would think so," LSU coach Les Miles said. "It's a knee."
Mettenberger injured his left knee when he was tackled by defensive tackle Byran Jones just after throwing to wide receiver Jarvis Landry, who made a leaping, one-handed catch out of the hands of cornerback D.J. Dean for a 32-yard gain to the Arkansas 21-yard line. Backup quarterback ...

Construction crews work to lay the foundation of a home in Ocean View near the Assawoman Canal.
- Filed Under
With the town experiencing a building boom - and along with it, a boost in transfer tax revenue - officials are adjusting the budget to wean Ocean View's reliance on the income.
At a meeting earlier this month to discuss the upcoming fiscal year, Chief Financial Officer Lee Brubaker said one change being made was the way the town treats transfer taxes.
While the extra money is nice, the budget has been adjusted to "wean" the town off using the revenue for operations, because it is not controlled by the town, and therefore can be unstable. ...

FRANKFORT - Desperate addicts in search of a fix have forced some drug stores in Kentucky's mountain region to become virtual fortresses. Pharmacists often work behind safety glass, the most powerful painkillers are stored in vaults and surveillance cameras keep a watchful eye on the store.
In that backdrop, pharmacy owner Carrie Cinnamond-Rose is trying to decide who to support in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. As a Republican, she leans toward GOP nominee Rand Paul. As a businesswoman who has seen her Pikeville pharmacy burglarized and robbed four times in recent years, she's not so sure.

Vovici Online Survey Software
Paul's opposition to federal funding for state and local drug enforcement initiatives could cost him votes in a region that's expected to be a key battleground in the U.S. Senate race. Paul wants to cut federal funding for undercover drug investigations and drug treatment programs, both of which are badly needed in Appalachia, a hotbed for marijuana growers and drug dealers selling prescription pills and methamphetamines.
Paul, a tea party favorite, espouses a plan that would put the onus for drug enforcement on state and local governments. His Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, favors using federal money.
"I don't think it's a real pressing issue," Paul told The Associated Press, suggesting that voters will decide who to support based on broader fiscal and social concerns.
"I think we're going to do very well in eastern Kentucky," he said. "They're socially conservative out there, so am I. Jack's not. They're fiscally conservative. I am. Jack's not. ... I think we'll swamp him."
Paul is counting on winning all of Kentucky's rural vote, including the Appalachian region, and keeping the race close in the state's two largest cities, Louisville and Lexington, where voters tend to favor Democrats. Conway, a Louisville resident, has been trying to cut into Paul's rural base by taking him to task on the drug issue.
"Rand will handcuff local sheriffs trying to combat the drug epidemic, and I will make sure Kentucky's law enforcement has the tools they need to protect our families," Conway said. "That's my record as attorney general, and that's what I'll do in Washington."
Conway said Kentucky, a small state suffering from budget cuts, doesn't have the financial resources to take on drug traffickers without federal help. Paul said the only time federal involvement is warranted is when drugs are crossing state or national borders.
Ed Schemelya, point man in the federal government's marijuana eradication program in the central Appalachians, said cutting off federal funding would embolden drug traffickers in the region.
"It would be impossible to stop them without federal assistance, because of the dire straights that these economies are in," Schemelya said.
Schemelya heads a law enforcement cooperative that confiscated some $2 billion worth of marijuana in the Appalachians last year, most of it grown on remote mountainsides.
Paul hasn't been shy about speaking his mind on the drug enforcement issue, telling local leaders during a political forum last month that involving Washington in the matter leads to waste. "I think issues like drug use and abuse are best dealt with at the local level," he said.
But Paul hasn't said where state and local governments would get the money needed to fund the drug efforts.
University of Louisville political scientist Laurie Rhodebeck said Paul clearly believes that voters favor cutting government spending, even at the expense of drug enforcement initiatives.
"Obviously, it's not as big an issue as joblessness and arguably not as big as agricultural subsidies, but different parts of every state have regionally specific concerns, and the drug problem looms large in eastern Kentucky," Rhodebeck said. "Paul's response that these matters should be dealt with locally, well, that's a problematic suggestion if there's not enough money locally to handle it."
Shortly after Conway became attorney general in 2008, he created a task force to help coordinate local, state and federal efforts to curb prescription pill trafficking. Last year, that task force was part of the largest prescription pill bust in Kentucky history, with more than 500 people charged for their role in a drug pipeline extending from Florida to Kentucky.
Conway also is a staunch advocate for Operation UNITE, a federal initiative that provides uncover narcotics investigations and treatment programs for addicts. The initiative, created by Republican Congressman Hal Rogers, is largely funded by budget earmarks, which Paul staunchly opposes.
Operation UNITE, which this year received $4.3 million in federal funds and $2 million in state funds, has arrested nearly 3,500 traffickers over the past five years and has confiscated nearly 100,000 pills over the same period, said Dale Morton, a spokesman for the initiative.
Paul said he doesn't believe his resistance to Operation UNITE will be his political undoing.
"I don't think most people in Kentucky have heard of it," he said.
Cinnamond-Rose has, and she supports the group. While other issues will weigh into her decision, she said she's troubled that Paul wants to defund the initiative.
"I'll have to follow my heart, but let my brain enter into it, too," Cinnamond-Rose said.

Scheme for famous JFK terminal takes flight
New York's Port Authority has given the green light to transform Eero Saarinen's iconic TWA Flight Center into a hotel
Manhattan-based hotelier Andre Balazs, chief executive of Andre Balazs Properties and owner of the Standard chain, has been appointed to reconfigure the currently disused terminal which lies in the heart of JFK airport.
The bat-winged-shaped building, which was opened in 1962 a year after Saarinen's death and which is also known as the Trans World Flight Center, is on the National Register of Historic Places, the US equivalent of listed status in the UK.
The Port Authority's executive director, Pat Foye told the New York Post: 'The Port Authority is committed to preserving the essence of [Saarinen's] iconic design and to continuing to work with [Balazs Properties] on a plan to transform the historic TWA Flight Center into a one-of-a-kind hotel and conference center in the heart of JFK's central terminal area'.
As well as the hotel the scheme will also include a conference centre, restaurants, shops and a flight museum.

The Lamentation, ca. 1582
Ludovico Carracci (Italian, Bolognese, 1555–1619)
Oil on canvas; 37 1/2 x 68 in. (95.3 x 172.7 cm)
Purchase, Lila Acheson Wallace and The Annenberg Foundation Gifts; Harris Brisbane Dick, Rogers, and Gwynne Andrews Funds; Pat and John Rosenwald, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Fisch, and Jon and Barbara Landau Gifts; Gift of Mortimer D. Sackler, Theresa Sackler and Family; and Victor Wilbour Memorial, Marquand, The Alfred N. Punnett Endowment, and Charles B. Curtis Funds, 2000 (2000.68)
Painted in about 1582, this astonishing picture is a landmark of the Carracci reform of painting. The figure of Christ, based on a posed model, has been painted with a directness and lack of idealization that sixteenth-century critics found shocking. Christ's right hand is distorted, as though it had been broken as he was taken down from the cross. His left arm, reverently cradled by Mary Magdalene, appears dislocated. The Virgin—shown as a plain, middle-aged woman rather than young and beautiful—has fainted at the sight of her son laid pathetically across her lap.
Ludovico has used light to insist on the event as physically present: it is diffuse around Christ's feet, which are shielded by the winding sheet Saint John raises, and falls with increasing strength on his chest and head. By comparison, the figures of the Virgin, the three Maries, and Saint John are notably stylized and give the composition a jarring note. Experimentation with the means of representation rather than an abstract sense of harmony and beauty characterizes Ludovico's work at this stage. The Carracci reform was based on precisely such extreme and novel experiments that questioned the idealizing premise of Renaissance art. This innovative work belonged to Alessandro Tanari, papal treasurer in Bologna. At the time of his death in 1639 he owned eleven works by Ludovico.

Goal-hungry Carlisle Utd must bolt their back door
Last updated at 09:45, Saturday, 28 November 2009
After the chaos comes the scrutiny, and today our task is to set to one side the bubbling drama of MK Dons 3, Carlisle 4 and get to work on the one clunking flaw which will continue to hold back this perplexing Cumbrian season.
There are some at Brunton Park who will argue that the aftermath of such a welcome and dramatic victory isn't the best time to be inspecting the machinery for faults. That to point out a failing or two after the defeat of League One's sixth-placed team at their own fortress is rather mean-spirited.
Nonsense, I say. It is precisely at these moments that constructive criticism needs to hit the page. What we are arguing for here is for United to strengthen from a position of strength, as opposed to the carcass-kicking that often takes place after a defeat.
Carlisle's edging of a seven-goal epic at stadium:mk has undoubtedly bolstered the psychological ramparts down Warwick Road, so what follows should be taken as the necessary throwing of light on a problem rather than an attempt to hack away at the positive feelings generated by that triumph in Buckinghamshire.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you United's clean sheet record in the league this season, which should probably be read with a glass of water to hand. Two out of 18.
Only in 11 per cent of Carlisle's matches have they padlocked the safe from minutes one to 90. Granted, three of their cup engagements this term have also resulted in blanks at the back; another will be most welcome when Norwich rumble into town this afternoon.
But come next May it will be the Blues' resting place in League One that will provide the source material for our lasting conclusions, not the entertaining (and potentially lucrative) frolics in the FA and Carling Cups and Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
In previous seasons on the United beat it became a matter of enjoyable routine to interview Keiren Westwood about the formidable number of clean sheets he was stacking up between the Cumbrian posts. Such stories were handy measuring sticks for Carlisle's mid-noughties era of progress.
Brilliant though Westwood was, it was slightly misleading to acclaim the goalkeeper alone, because those 'shut-outs' were also the property of defenders like Danny Livesey, Peter Murphy and Kevin Gray, all of whom deserved to have medals pinned to their tunics for protecting their target so successfully.
If memory serves, in 2005/6 Livesey struck a wager with Billy Barr, then United's first-team coach, and cashed in on the final day of the campaign when the mountainous clean-sheet target of 20 was hit.
Similarly impressive tallies were achieved under Neil McDonald in 06/07, and under Greg Abbott and John Ward the following season, before last term's grim unravelling.
So this season's meagre stat will feel like a knife to the pride of someone like Livesey, who knows how it feels to be part of a much stingier unit.
The paradox of the last couple of months is that Abbott has hit upon a much steadier-looking back four of Richard Keogh, Livesey, Ian Harte and Evan Horwood – protected by the brilliant young scavenger Tom Taiwo – but only against the League Two also-rans of Morecambe in the FA Cup have they managed to keep an opponent at the gates.
And not since John Barnes' bedraggled Tranmere were cuffed 3-0 have Carlisle negotiated a league game without the ball rippling their own net at least once.
Goal prevention is a team game, of course, so it's wrong just to finger the defenders for this (Abbott's bold decision to swap Lenny Pidgeley for Adam Collin in goal on Tuesday was another managerial admission that his team is not yet at its tightest).
And ample credit can certainly head Abbott's way for coaxing a welcome burst of goals from his team (17 in their last eight games, many of them from expertly-worked set-pieces), but those strikes will not hold sufficiently high currency until those holes at the other end are plugged, on training ground and chalkboard.
On Tuesday night Carlisle were recast as Kevin Keegan's Newcastle: score as many as you like, and we'll get one more. It was all riotous fun. Then you remembered how many trophies King Kev put on the Toon's table, and concluded that prizes will remain beyond United's reach until they get that back door locked.

Terrible Singer
Hey Natalie and Anne. You're saying what you're saying because you're a fat blob yourself. No thin girl would make those comments.
Maybe Jessica doesn't qualify as fat yet, but she sure is overweight. This is NOT completely normal. Normal is what she used to look like. Just look at her flabby arms. Just because 75% of the US population is between overweight to obese doesn't make it normal.
To call somebody anorexic just because they have a flat stomach, proves that you could loose a bunch of pounds yourself.
Jessica looks absolutely fabulous on these pictures.
Finally she looks like a woman.
I wish that every hollywood star would look like this!! Stick thin is so last season!!
Big girls are in!
Jessica BLIMPson...hey, she's now a real BOMBshell...hahahaha

- 16th Congressional district race: Rep. Silvestre Reyes outspent Beto O'Rourke
›› Related: Rep. Silvestre Reyes takes shot at budget proposal that would affect Social Security
"I don't think so."
"How dare you."
Those are the messages in a campaign ad authorized by U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-El Paso, taking one of his opponents to task for his positions on Social Security.
The ad, scheduled to air today during the 6 p.m. newscast on Channel 7-KVIA, charges that former city Rep. Beto O'Rourke's positions on the program violate a promise to seniors.
The El Paso Times is fact-checking these political ads throughout the campaign. In this case the ad was broken down into two parts, its appearance and its message.
The ad is populated by seniors who appear to be of an age that would allow them to collect Social Security right now.
At the end, Reyes' voice intones, "Our seniors have earned their Social Security. We need to honor our commitment to them."
But O'Rourke has never said he would change the way current seniors, or even those in middle age, would get Social Security. He has said that for his children -- his oldest is 5 years old -- retirement may come at a later age. He has not specified a particular cutoff age.
"Making cuts in Social Security and raising the retirement age is not the answer," a female voice says.
O'Rourke says he never endorsed Social Security cuts, but his proposals would result in reduced expenditures through means testing that would deny payments to wealthier Americans. Raising the retirement age, which he has endorsed, would deny younger citizens the ability to collect at the currently established ages, also reducing expenditures.
Reyes said the main point of the ad is the "broken promise." Social Security advocates assert that any type of means testing changes the formula that was promised when people started paying into the funds.
By excluding the wealthy, it changes the "principle of universality," they say. And some are concerned the wealthy would not continue to support the program under such conditions.
O'Rourke says there must be changes to keep the funds solvent as "baby boomers" retire and life expectancies increase.
