Tar Sands: The worst fuel on the planet?
A Reporter's Notebook: "Midwest oil mining a crude idea to many: Are we now scraping the bottom of the barrel?"
As Minnesota sanctions the transport and use of oil sands--the second largest reserve of usable crude in the world--it takes a prominent role in a transcontinental controversy.
Many argue our state is on the wrong side.
From dead birds to sick humans and fish, hardly anyone has anything positive to say about the new carbon intensive fuel polluting our air and water.
Howard Witt, a correspondent for the Chicago Tribune pens the problem beautifully when he writes:
The controversies arise because this oil does not gush freely when tapped with a traditional well. Instead, it's bound up in subterranean sand, as black and dense as a hockey puck and less viscous than peanut butter. It must either be clawed out of surface mines or steamed from deep underground.
To access these lucrative oil sand deposits from strip mines requires churning up huge tracts of ancient boreal forest and polluting so much clean water with poisonous chemicals that the resulting waste ponds can be seen from outer space. So toxic are those waste ponds that last spring, a flock of 500 migratory ducks perished after landing in one of them.
If the birds can't handle it, why would humans be immune? Witt continues.
In one native Canadian village downriver from the oil sands mines, local doctors say they have noticed an alarming cluster of a rare form of bile duct cancer that's occurring at more than 400 times its usual frequency in the general population. Alberta provincial health officials say their studies do not substantiate any increased cancer risk, but they have initiated a comprehensive new scientific review to make sure. Their official response has not reassured local residents.
"When you see the fish sick, you know there's something wrong with the water," said John Rigney, a spokesman for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, a community of about 1,200 people who draw their water and much of their food from the Athabasca River. "More than a quarter of the fish have lesions and some white fish are completely red. We have always eaten those fish. And now cancer has become very common here."
The Natural Resources Defense Council just published a peer reviewed report on the current and projected impact the oil sands industry is having on the environment. Jeff Wells, Ph.D. of the Boreal Songbird Initiative writes:
The public needs to understand the real and long-term ecological costs of this development and determine if this is acceptable.
Canada's Boreal forest is a globally important destination for birds as a nesting area and breeding habitat, especially for an array of wetland-dependent birds... It is estimated that half of America's migratory birds nest in the Boreal forest .... [T]he cumulative impact over the next 30-50 years could be as high as 166 million birds lost...

Influenza cases on decline locally
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 10:44 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The number of flu cases in Tuscaloosa County appears to be dropping, although the virus is still considered widespread throughout the state of Alabama and across the nation.
According to DCH Regional Medical Center, the flu season started in early November, much earlier than normal, and peaked the week of Dec. 9, when the hospital tested 79 positive cases. Since early December, the number of flu cases at DCH has declined, with 24 positive flu tests last week, and 10 this week, as of Tuesday.
"It seems like the flu cases may have peaked," said Brad Fisher, spokesman for the DCH Health System.
Data from the Alabama Department of Public Health is also showing a decline in positive flu tests, with both strains — A,H3 and type B influenza — popping up strong in mid-November statewide and continuing through mid-December, before beginning to decline.
But the flu is still considered widespread throughout the state, said Tina Pippen, surveillance nurse manager for the ADPH. Influenza type A,H3 is by far the most common flu type, with Jefferson, Hale, Madison and Jackson counties some of the hardest hit by the flu in the state.
The flu is considered widespread nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The only states where the flu is still considered "regional" include Missouri, South Dakota, Montana, Washington State, Oregon, California and Arizona, according to the CDC.
Alabama was one of several Southeastern states that hit the "widespread" flu mark early in the flu season.
Having an early start doesn't mean that the flu season will be worse this year, it just means the flu got a head start, said Dr. Mary McIntyre, assistant state health officer for disease control and prevention with the ADPH. The biggest preventive step that people can take to protect themselves is to get a flu vaccine, she said.
"It takes a couple of weeks to be effective, so our recommendation is for people to get it as soon as it's available," McIntyre said.
It's not too late to get the vaccine, Pippen said.
"It's definitely encouraged," Pippen said. "(The vaccine) is probably the best match we've seen in a long time."
While the flu vaccine may not prevent the flu completely, if someone does catch it, their case is likely to be much less severe than if they had never gotten the vaccine.
"I got the vaccine, and my son got it, and we were both sick with a flu-like illness, but it was very mild because we got the vaccine," she said.

Windows 8 and Linux on the network
Samba configuration often fails when users overlook little things. We show you how to configure a Linux system for file sharing on a Windows 8 peer-to-peer network.
When you are setting up heterogeneous file and print sharing on a Linux system, Samba plays a crucial role.
Whether file sharing works transparently, requires configuration, or does not work at all depends on several factors (see the "Theory and Practice" box). If you want your Linux system to participate in the CIFS/ SMB file-sharing services native to Windows, you need to install the samba package on your Linux system. If you only want to access a Windows share on a Windows 8 system, all you need is the smbclient package. In this article, I describe how to set up peer-to-peer networking between Windows 8 and Linux.

February Violet little pony by WoosieWatch
©2006-2016 Woosie
This pony was part of my birthflowers with birthstones custom My Little Pony set. Each pony had a symbol of a sculpted stylized black and silver heart with the pony's birthflower on it (sculpted with apoxie clay), rerooted hair to match the color scheme, repainted eyes, and a removable tiara with Swarovski crystals in the same color of the birthstone. This pony was for February and has a violet on the symbol and Amethyst colored crystals.
Why someone takes pictures of plastic MLP toys I don't get it there's nothing awesome or special in them they are just toys and they are made for little girls to play with but in these days MLP cartoon and toys are just reason to fap to grown pony men

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 review
Sony T20 is good however it has that to know that she is compact and everything that is compact it loses a little of quality, if you who a quality camera looks a series W of the Sony, however if you it will be as I that prefers to designer then am with a T20 camera that is good and pretty. Its weakker point: Penalty not to be test of the water, I prefer a Olympus Stylus 725 therefore this is test of the water and anti-shock.
With little light the photos leave very trembled.

'Check your self!!'
There's a new sign in the catwalk at the OKC Arena. Printed on a piece of typing paper, it reads 'It is 96 feet from here to the floor. If you drop something it is probably going to kill somebody. Check your self!!' I like the new sign. Good advice and a good place to end our recent hiatus on Alternate Crop. Here's a few Thunder basketball pictures that you didn't see in the newspaper.
Photographers from The Oklahoman use eight strobes, mounted in the catwalks of the OKC Arena, to light up the action on the court. A receiver is mounted to the lights, and we have transmitters mounted on the cameras we use sitting behind the baseline on the court. I usually use one camera with the lights and one without. Here's what a difference that burst of light makes to the camera settings. I took the picture above at 400 ISO, f. 4.5 at 1/250th of a second. Sarah Phipps took the picture below with a 300mm lens, ISO 3200, f. 2.8 at 1/1600th of a second. We post photo galleries of the Thunder games with all the images we've turned in after each game. You can see those galleries and more by clicking here.

Yeah sadly nothing very exciting, I have a love for cupcakes and I was told in one of my lessons to create a picture on photoshop of the background being black and white and one object being coloured. I chose a picture I found on Google (Side note: Doesnt belong to me!) and chose an individual cupcake and well...heres the result of what happened. I hope you like it!

Reason for Joining:
I like the Simpsons?
Favourite member of the Simpson family and why?
Homer Jay Simpson. Specifically the Homer of the seasons before season ten. Once Mike Scully became showrunner, not only did the show itself become more zanny but Homer's character changed from that of a lovable oaf who cared for his family... a kind of typical sitcom dad, into just a plain fat idiot. Sure, he was always lazy, but in the later seasons he became a caricature. He lost the devotion he had to his family that I admired. And he became mean-spirited too. The pinnacle of this was the dreadful Simpsons movie, which epitomized everything I hated about the show post-season nine.
Favourite episode of the show and why?
I think Marge vs the Monorail. This episode has it all... starts with a great Flintstone throwback, has one of the more memorable musical numbers in the series, a Phil Hartman character. A very quotable episode too.
My first encounter with the show were some of the Treehouse of Horror episodes as a kid. That was a jumping off point and then I started watching the show regularly. I still would until a few years ago when the local channels started airing reruns of newer episodes instead of the old ones.

Some disconcerting news for parents. Medicine mix-ups, accidental overdoses and bad drug reactions harm roughly one out of 15 hospitalized children.
That's according to the first scientific test involving a new detection method developed for the study. The number is far higher than earlier estimates and supports concerns that have already been heightened by well-publicized cases like the accidental drug overdose of actor Dennis Quaid's newborn twins last November.

Red Bank, NJ US
|NATCORE TECHNOLOGY INC. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|LASER-TRANSFERRED IBC SOLAR CELLS - A laser processing system can be utilized to produce high-performance interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells. The laser processing system can be utilized to ablate, transfer material, and/or laser-dope or laser fire contacts. Laser ablation can be utilized to remove and pattern openings in a passivated or emitter layer. Laser transferring may then be utilized to transfer dopant and/or contact materials to the patterned openings, thereby forming an interdigitated finger pattern. The laser processing system may also be utilized to plate a conductive material on top of the transferred dopant or contact materials.
|EMITTER DIFFUSION CONDITIONS FOR BLACK SILICON - In some cases, it is desirable to perform doping when manufacturing a solar cell to improve efficiency. Dopant diffusion may include the steps of: (a) an initial temperature ramp, (b) dopant vapor flow, (c) drive-in, and (d) cool down. However, doping may result in excessive doping, such as in regions where the solar cell has been nanoscale textured to provide black silicon, thereby creating a dead zone with excessive recombination of charge carriers. In the systems and method discussed herein, dopant vapor flow and drive-in steps may be performed at two different temperature set points to minimize or eliminate the formation of dead zones. In some embodiments, the dopant vapor flow may be performed at a lower temperature set point than the drive-in.
|SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BLACK SILICON ETCHING UTILIZING THIN FLUID LAYERS - Systems and methods for etching the surface of a substrate may utilize a thin layer of fluid to etch a substrate for improved anti-reflective properties. The substrate may be secured with a holding fixture that is capable of positioning the substrate. A fluid comprising an acid and an oxidizer for etching may be prepared, which may optionally include a metal catalyst. An amount of fluid necessary to form a thin layer contacting the surface of the substrate to be etched may be dispensed. The fluid may be spread into the thin layer utilizing a tray that the substrate is dipped into, a plate that is placed near the surface of the substrate to be etched, or a spray or coating device.
|Method for Patterned Doping of a Semiconductor - A method for an improved doping process allows for improved control of doping concentrations on a substrate. The method may comprise printing a polymeric material on a substrate in a desired pattern; and depositing a barrier layer on the substrate with a liquid phase deposition process, wherein a pattern of the barrier layer is defined by the polymeric material. The method further comprises removing the polymeric material, and doping the substrate. The barrier layer substantially prevents or reduces doping of the substrate to allow patterned doping regions to be formed on the substrate. The method can be repeated to allow additional doping regions to be formed on the substrate.
|Solar Cells with Patterned Antireflective Surfaces - Systems and methods for producing nanoscale textured low reflectivity surfaces may be utilized to fabricate solar cells. A substrate may be patterned with a resist prior to an etching process that produces a nanoscale texture on the surface of the substrate. Additionally, the substrate may be subjected to a dopant diffusion process. Prior to dopant diffusion, the substrate may be optionally subjected to liquid phase deposition to deposit a material that allows for patterned doping. The order of the nanoscale texture etching and dopant diffusion may be modified as desired to produce post-nano emitters or pre-nano emitters.
|Method of Controlling Silicon Oxide Film Thickness - A deposition process for coating a substrate with films of varying thickness on a substrate can be achieve. The thickness of the film deposition can be controlled by the separation between the substrate and a curtain. Different separation distances between the substrate and curtain in the same chemical bath will result in different film thicknesses depositing on the substrate.
|METHOD OF CONTROLLING SILICON OXIDE FILM THICKNESS - A deposition process for coating a substrate with films of a different thickness on front and rear surface of a substrate can be achieve in one growth. The thickness of the film deposition can be controlled by the separation between the substrates. Different separation distances between the substrates in the same chemical bath will result in different film thicknesses on the substrate. Substrates may be arranged to have different separation distances between front and back surfaces, a V-shaped arrangement, or placed next to a curtain with varying separation distances between a substrate and the curtain.
|METHOD OF IMPROVING THE PASSIVATION EFFECT OF FILMS ON A SUBSTRATE - A film deposited on substrate may originally has a high surface recombination velocity (SRV). In order to suppress the SRV and increase the minority carrier lifetime, the substrate may be treated annealing at a high temperature in gas ambient containing O
|SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RAPID LIQUID PHASE DEPOSITION OF FILMS - A rapid liquid phase deposition (LPD) process of coating a substrate provides improved deposition rates. The LPD process may include the following steps: incubation of acids with corresponding oxides, sulfide, or selenide for a predetermined period of time; removing the undissolved oxides, sulfide, or selenide; liquid phase deposition of the oxide, sulfide, or selenide film or coating at an elevated temperature; and removing the substrate from the growth solution. Further, the growth solution can be prepared for re-use by cooling to a desired temperature and adding extra oxides, sulfides, or selenides.
|Coated Fullerenes, Compositions And Dielectrics Made Therefrom - The present invention relates to coated fullerenes comprising a layer of at least one inorganic material covering at least a portion of at least one surface of a fullerene and methods for making. The present invention further relates to composites comprising the coated fullerenes of the present invention and further comprising polymers, ceramics, and/or inorganic oxides. A coated fullerene interconnect device where at least two fullerenes are contacting each other to form a spontaneous interconnect is also disclosed as well as methods of making. In addition, dielectric films comprising the coated fullerenes of the present invention and methods of making are further disclosed.

Although I'm generally a sucker for triumph-of-the-underdog sports flicks – 1986's Hoosiers remains my favorite – and was all set to have a good sniffle at Miracle, the movie is so cynically programmed to be a lump-in-the-throat audience-pleaser that I found it all too easy to resist.

Some conditions just not visible
Published: Friday, July 15, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: This is in response to Saturday's letter complaining about the abuse of handicapped parking spaces.
I may have been one of those who has upset him so. I am 54 and appear to be in perfect health, but without handicapped parking spaces and electric carts, I could not go to places such as Wal-Mart.
I suffer from neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS), one of the many health conditions that are not visible.
I suggest the writer read a book titled Living Well With a Hidden Disability by Stacy Taylor and Robert Epstein.
Then the next time he observes a person "clearly with no handicap" perhaps he will take a moment before passing judgment.
I refuse to quit living and give into my disability and I count my blessings for our compassionate lawmakers who help to make this possible.
So, until the writer walks in my shoes for just one day, I suggest he think before speaking. Take your video; I will be smiling!

Opinion:Thain's Undoing Was Thinking He's Worth It
(C - Get Report) wanted him too). At the time he took over the company a year ago, he was one of the kings of Corporate America. He might well have felt justified in green-lighting these expenses and using his own decorator. It's also interesting to note that, in all the criticism of how Ken Lewis of BofA failed to do sufficient due diligence on Merrill prior to announcing the deal, no one has criticized John Thain for insufficient due diligence on Merrill prior to taking the top job. At the time of his hiring, he assured the press that he'd been given complete access to Merrill's books. Apparently he did a poor review. When Merrill's fortunes started to go south, no one went back to ask Thain about this oversight.What this sorry episode teaches all analysts, media, and investors is that we need to appreciate success and achievement but always remain skeptical. We shouldn't be afraid to ask tough questions even about "untouchable" CEOs like Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) Steve Jobs, JPMorgan Chase's (JPM - Get Report)Jamie Dimon, or General Electric's (GE - Get Report) Jack Welch. Past success no longer guarantees future success in today's world. Unfortunately for BofA shareholders, no one had warning signs about Thain until the last 72 hours. (And let's not forget that, if you're a Merrill shareholder, you are overjoyed that Thain sold this company at such a premium and kept the fourth-quarter loss under wraps until the deal went through.) One thing's for sure: If you're a company insider and you hear about a big corporate office renovation, starting looking for work and start selling your insider stock right away. Neither Eric Jackson nor his fund own stock in Merrill or BofA.In the case of Thain, he signed off on these expensive corporate renovations after Merrill "won" the battle to get him as CEO (remember Citigroup

Art Saves Me by chibighibliWatch
©2010-2016 chibighibli
It'd be neat with glow in the dark ink
Hello! I would like to notify you that I've featured you on my surreal and abstract art blog over on Tumblr. Your work really fits the theme, and you can see it on artagainstsociety.tumblr.com. Of course, I have given you credit and linked to your page. If for any reason you don't want it published any longer, just send me a message and I'll delete it pronto. Thanks, and congratulations! Your art is beautiful. Please note: If you don't see your art right away on my blog, it is probably still in the queue and has yet to be posted.
coooollllllllllllllllllll ! Art saves us! Praise the Lord!
...yep. I want one.
...yep. I want one.
this is so adorable and i love it.
Dang, I love your Bumbershoot work SO MUCH! Will any of these be available on t-shirts? ..particularly this one?!
Yeah, this was available as a tee at the festival, but I'm going to try and print my own batch with glow ink
glow in the dark makes everything awesome 0______0
your so good at color schemes! but then again if you weren't.....
your so good at color schemes! but then again if you weren't.....
wow lovely n_n
Really clever!! It's fun working out the figures in the stars c:
wow, it's superb!ther's just one 'but'... I couldn't read it at first, expecialy the 'me' word. I was wondering if it starts with an 'i'. maybe if the words were outlined with slicely different colour it would be easier to read?
That's where the glow in the dark ink would help. I didn't want the saying to be obvious, but if the faint solid shapes were actually glow ink, it would really pop when it's dark!
Very nice! Is the phrase from Bumbershoot, or is it your own?
Bumbershoot does an "Art Saves Me" campaign every year. I'm not sure when or how it was started...
Awww I loooove this!
You are GOD at design. GOD.
You are GOD at design. GOD.
really amazing work!

Broken Timepiece
Chapter 1
The funeral procession had finished its journey through the capital by early evening. Mourners dressed in wild blue gowns despite the twisting sands and molten sun rays pouring from above followed tirelessly behind, showing off their tears. Tutankhaten watched the parade dawdle by, thinking it was like an inverted comet. Dark and slow instead of a blink in bright light. Depressing and tedious instead of making dreams. But long. Longer than the longest comet's tail, the weepers stretched on. The whole city must have been out that day, even though it was so hot the body inside the broad stone coffin must be melting like old goat cheese tossed in fire.
The boy shifted, holding on to the stone window ledge habitually as an extra precaution to keep from toppling down to the terrain below. Everyone else was always so careful, so it was expected he must be as well. It was futile to protect the reckless.
Soldiers marched by the closed door, and Tutankhaten caught a snippet of conversation from the hallway as the two heavy-footed men thumped past.
"It's the political situation that is really the hardest done by in the mix, though," said a young, somewhat nasally voice.
"Obviously. The boy is too young," came the voice of a more aged, experienced guard of some rank.
"Most certainly. I fear for my family with him in control," the nasally voice said, snobbishly.
"Yes, I think now would be a fine time to defect to Nubia!"
A pang of laughter lilted quietly to Tutankhaten's ears and died down the hallway. At that moment, his shadow on the bare wall seemed to shrink and become very small and shriveled and neglected. Of course he was young; he had only been allowed on the planet for a pathetic nine years, so what age did they expect of him?
The funeral procession wandered out past the outskirts of the new capital and prepared to lay Meritaten in the cliffs along with all the trappings they could cut a hole for. The digging and choosing had taken ages, and at last the aides, care givers, priests and masons decided on throwing in any old thing the pretty young queen could have wanted in the Underworld. Towards the back was the silhouette of Ay the Vizier, lengthened substantially by a pair of sun discs fastened to his own bald skull. He had been performing a ceremony inviting the queen to accept the night sun as the day, and vice versa. Word has it that her grinning corpse case did not respond.
Tutankhaten propped his chin up on his long brown hands and gazed at the rapidly accumulating crowd. What was once the head of the comet was now growing into a vast clump of debris. People separated away as the burial commenced. All were crying, grieving. Few of them knew the dead Meritaten personally; merely that she would have led them into a new age of prosperity and wealth, a time of peace and happiness, had she lived more than two years into her (apparently rather ho hum) reign.
But alas, the time had passed. The last best hope for a half-decent ruler was totally and absolutely dead. Tutankhaten could hear the priest already. "The Ma'at has ordered this. The Tasherit family has committed some great sin against the nation, and they all must suffer! Akhenaten was a crazed, sorry excuse for Amenhotep the Third. His famous wife, of questionable background and sanity, was of no more use to Egypt than a single grain of sand. Smenkhkare was of little more divinity than the sandal you chafe upon the rocks, and Meritaten, well! Her silence proves that she might as well have been nothing at all. The weak plant makes a weak seedling. Tutankhaten is a lame kid with no knowledge and no ability to gain any. Hopefully he'll just die quickly like Meritaten managed to do and we can set about looking for someone suitable. Everyone gets what they deserve. Praise be the World Order!"
Tutankhaten got up, looking away from the burial that had been keeping his attention for the past few hours. He paced for a few minutes in his tiny, dark room. Why had the crown come to be his? He had been last in a line of six siblings, not including his father, and the husbands of his six sisters. Such luck. Such incredible damned luck.
Going back to the window, the young half-prince arrived in time to see the sarcophagus of his half sister, Meritaten, disappear over the sand, carried by a mixed group of mourners, masons, scribes and farmers. The red sun watched attentively as the sarcophagus was borne through a wide crack in the cliff face to where the queen would remain forever.
So, Meritaten really was dead.... fortunate creature. She had spent only a brief time under the servitude of the entire public body, never made any difficult choices, just accepted the crown of the Two Lands and wasted away, as if the object was some sort of a disease what destroyed her body imperceptibly on the outside, but forcefully.
They had found her body ninety days ago in her rooms, propped up on her day bed shortly after Shinaide, the royal physician, had been in to look for the miracle of an immaculate conception courtesy of the Sun God, Aten. The queen was dead, a copper mirror imbedded halfway into her upper thigh, blood cascading onto the floor like a thin layer of bright red ochre. It was theorized that she felt so insulted that Shinaide had found no evidence of a pregnancy (servants said they heard her cursing and smashing objects upon this news) that she was exploring her feminine folds for any proof to the contrary. The mirror slipped, and with its deadly sharp edge, tore the queen from her current life as she vainly searched for another's.
Tutankhaten had been sent to visit his "uncle", an old man that lived in the farthest end of the noble's wing, right after word of the incident got out. A recluse, the man rarely emerged from his rooms but quickly put out word that he wanted to speak to the heir apparent in absolute private. Tutankhaten sighed as he stood before his own father, the former Pharaoh Akhenaten, his yellowed eyes overflowing with huge tears. Meritaten was his favorite, none of his children had ever been unaware of this fact.
"There, there, father, er, uncle," Tutankhaten had said, trying to muster up a little grief for his dead half-sister, but he had known her only in passing, and as she was several years older than he, he had never found her languid attempts at inclusion to be particularly memorable.
"Don't you understand? She was in fact pregnant! She had to have been! We'd been at it once a day for months!" Akhenaten raged and threw himself down on her bier, which he had arranged to be moved into his room before her burial. At the time, Tutankhaten's mind conjured up the image that the two of them had been at praying to the Aten for a baby together, and he nodded understandingly as if this was the most natural thing in the world. "This is an abortion of time and space! She was destined for greatness, I saw it in her eyes the moment she opened them for the first time. I let her get away with murder all her damned life!"
The word made young Tutankhaten sweat. As it seemed, she was not unique in such privileges. She had been left to her own devices as Shinaide fled for his life from her rooms, and she had been found in isolation a short time later. But Shinaide was not the last human face that she had seen. Other eyes were in the room, other hands, other feet. Tutankhaten, with little else to do all day long but stroll the hallways when he was not in active service to one of the high officials, had strolled past her silent room on his way to amuse himself in the main corridor. Outside of her door was a small, red, half-moon mark near the painted image of a row of colorless zebras. The young boy had seen clumsy artists step in pigments and track their color around before, and he carried on, assuming Meritaten was having her room repainted or that an artist had been in to work on another of her images. It was only upon his return that he saw the horrific commotion and the hundreds of bloody footprints staining the artwork that he realized that someone had left a scant bit of evidence of their presence with the body before it had been discovered. But with the track so obscured by the blood that had gallantly traversed the room, there was no way to prove it to a second set of eyes, or even to his own.
The sun, either bored with or so tragically wounded by the funerary proceedings, began to pilot its way down to the ground below in its daily death throes, casting the mourners' long shadows into thick twilight. Why the massive ball of fire never crashed was beyond the nine year old half-prince. Surely gods must make mistakes sometimes. Have regrets. Suffer the pains of the human race. At least, he liked to think so.
"Go suck the gas out of a dead ibis butt and die!"
The words grabbed the pensive Tutankhaten's attention like the puckered lips of a shaved camel might have. Looking directly below him, about twenty feet down, a small girl was arguing with a partnership of boys from the city, who were prowling around her in the sand like bloodthirsty jackals. "Come any closer and I'll kick your scabby asses!" she yelled at them both.
There was a knock on Tutankhaten's door.
"Come in," he told the knocker, and in the process missed a line of the altercation held by the three below.
"Osiris damn you!" the girl continued. "That wasn't even me! How about I blame your parents on you? Should've known better than to pop out of that particular mama, you tit-nose!"
The person who had knocked amiably approached Tutankhaten. "Good evening to the future Pharaoh! I guess I should be kneeling and referring to you as 'Majesty' and all that soon." The young man at the door bowed so low his forehead touched the floor. When he received no response he huddled up next to the wall, folding his slim limbs into comfortable spots. He was only fifteen, although many assumed him to be much older. Royal service was hard and it had aged him in his eyes, and it made him appear tougher. He too was 'obviously too young' when he started.
"Nakhtmin, nice to see you," Tutankhaten said, not taking his eyes off the trio below.
"I really am sorry about Meritaten. It was a terrible accident, who could have predicted it? But I mean, ya know, these things happen. Do you need, like, a shoulder to cry on or something? Funerals make the worst of a bad situation."
Tutankhaten shook his head. "I don't need any help. But that girl down there might. Don't you know her?"
Nakhtmin leaned out the window space without taking much care by way of safety and looked at what was going on. "Domestic abuse, looks like," he commented, sounding like a peace officer who had spent all his life sorting out these issues.
"Kill me, eh? What are you going to do? Breathe on me? You couldn't kill time if you tried with all your might! Idiot!" The girl below taunted the stalkers.
"Who..." murmured Nakhtmin, squinting his dark eyes from beneath the war-helm he seemed to revel in wearing. "That looks like... fuck!" Tutankhaten's friend jerked away from the ledge, as if some omnipresent babysitter had leaped up to the window and shoved him back into the room where it was safer. "Pardon language. My friend!" Nakhtmin babbled as he skittered out the door and ran off without shutting it, his white kilt waving as if offering a belated departing remark. Tutankhaten took little notice and continued to watch.
One of the boys was egging the lone girl on with insults of his own. "Why don't you get your daddy to come teach me a lesson? Or are you gonna get your momma to fight me off with a wash cloth?"
The girl stood for a few seconds, shifting her weight and looking down. Tutankhaten felt sorry for her then, but this girl did the strangest thing he had ever seen; she tackled the boy with total commitment around the midriff and ground his face in the abrasive sand, inflicting real violence that Tutankhaten had only ever seen implied.
In response, the boy grabbed her around the shoulders and heaved her away before the other boy could intervene. She kicked sand at him and he pulled her ankles out from under her, throwing her to the ground. They tussled rapidly, rolling this way and that, until they both went flopping down into an inlet from the nearby Nile, sand leaping to get out of their way. The second boy sprinted after his friend and the girl, yelling something or other as the red earth sprayed from beneath his feet.
There was the sound of water from below, a war muted in splashing. Up there in the stone palace, it sounded similar to a rabid cat hissing. Tutankhaten could see none of it, and he leaned as far out of the window as his young body would allow. It looked like he was performing a complicated stretch for some religious purpose out his window. He could see the occasional wisp of water over the ridge of the midget valley, hear the odd yell. All at once, the fighting stopped, giving way to a quiet that was most eerie. Like the effect of a python so deadly it breathed poison and had just been rearing up to bite, hissing madly then suddenly nothing. Were its fangs buried harmlessly in the sole of your sandal, or was it latched on through your veins?
Nakhtmin ran out of the entrance below and hustled to the embankment, holding the war-helm down securely with his right hand, while furiously pumping with his left, as if his legs moved the earth beneath him. Over the rough path the young guardian tore, his brown legs flashing from beneath the overlong kilt, which was nearly bubbling from the force of his motion. He long jumped down to the water.
Quickly, the silence gave way to a ruckus. Nakhtmin grabbed the first boy by his shoulder and tossed him into the water, creating a loud slap as he belly-flopped in. The second boy was dealt a kick to the rump and he fell sideways, too surprised to object. The young guard boy plunged his whole upper body into the icy river to hook his arms under the limp body of the girl and came up, holding her limp form against his soaked collar bone. He carried her back up to the flats, face turning red with rage.
"Damn you!" Nakhtmin growled at the two boys, who had recovered enough to stand up and look angrily at the newcomer. "She's just a kid!" he paused to clear some of the murky black sludge from her mouth. "Fuck you and your parents! She was only a child! Pharaoh will have your heads for this!" Nakhtmin's voice was almost at a scream, reaching easily up to Tutankhaten's ears. "You can't just do this to people!"
The boys, jarred a little by Nakhtmin's war helmet and his acidic threats, moved off and ran south, toward the suburbs. He quieted to a whisper and began speaking to the girl, still motionless in his arms. After a few seconds, his voice jumped in volume. "Hey! Come on. Ankh! Damn!" Nakhtmin jerked her limp body with each word.
Tutankhaten scuttled off the ledge underneath the window and zipped out his door. He slipped out of his room, made sure the immediate coast was clear, and hurried down the darkening hallway. Before long he was outside, in a space of open area that was just inside the walls. He ran down the semi-sanded tiles and out onto the sandy flat where Nakhtmin was holding the drowned child.
"Tutankhaten!" Nakhtmin said shrilly. "Get Shinaide or Perennefer or somebody!"
He froze. The girl's lips were like a bruise, and dripping black ooze from the Nile bottom. Her eyes were white and pasted with her own hair.
Tutankhaten tore his eyes from the hideous sight and ran back to the House. That was Ankh all right. Heart kicking his ribcage, Tutankhaten blundered down the corridors at a dangerously high speed. His sandals had little traction on the stone floors, and an unlucky servant would find himself in a collision if he chose to meander into this hallway.
The half-prince skidded into the side of the doorway of the assistant royal healer Perennefer, and fell with an undignified clatter. Without pausing, he drew his body back up and scrambled through the door.

(Please consider watching me to get notifications on new chapters as soon as they go up! Assuming you liked this chapter, of course...)
So I've just done a fairly major rewrite to this chapter. Most notably, the death of Meritaten and the events surrounding it. Also, a lot of the inherent... preachiness in the narrative has been, in my estimation, greatly toned down if not entirely removed. It should not affect the plot much or confuse anyone. Also, I'm much happier with it now. I hope you enjoyed it too.
Abridged original comments:
Most people in this story are historical figures (Shinaide I made up). Also, there's going to be some minor bad language throughout, but I didn't feel it gets bad enough to insist on a mature audience.
Lastly, I am telling a story that can fit within the parameters of the evidence that exists so far about the life of Tutankhaten. I have not always taken the simplest explanation of the evidence that is provided by scholars and archaeologists, although their work and expertise is invaluable to myself, as well as to the rest of society.
For instance, in my story, Akhenaten is alive. Archaeological evidence suggests that he had died before Tutankhaten's reign, but I find it reasonable to tell a narrative where he "faked" his death and is in hiding. There are some theories that Akhenaten or Nefertiti (or even both) were in fact alive during this time. There is really no way to know for sure, so I play in the ambiguity like finger paint

"Fuck" is a little too close to modern jargon for me to find palatable in ancient Egypt, but otherwise great job. I like the colorful characters, the sense of perspective, and the imagery (the shadow shriveling, wow).
Haha, thanks. Point taken, though I'm sure they did speak crassly from time to time. It's always a challenge to pick attempt to copy writing styles of the time and try to use phrases and words that they seemed to use, though I find that it generally makes the work quite dry and hard to connect with.
And thanks SO much for the comment on the imagery... I feel that I could make some improvements in that area, so it's nice to know that maybe it's not all that godawful. /self-criticism

Well it's about time for me to start reading something from someone I watch. It's not bad (which sadly takes some doing I know.)
Hah I know the feeling. I've been feeling like one of those unsupportive types myself lately. And thanks, I know you don't have low standards to that means a lot . I think in terms of organization I could do a lot to improve the first couple of chapters but I'm going to focus more on that in draft two instead of obsessing too much and never posting anything, like I've been doing until now. As it stands the later chapters even out quite a bit.
And what detail there is already. Bravo you. This is an amazing first chapter. You got my attention from the beginning and I actually enjoyed the third person narrative, I usually don't. This was a really well-written piece. I don't know much about Ancient Egyptian history but it's got the building blocks for a very exciting story.
