"We speak of the things which you see with your own eyes, which We both bemoan. Depravity exults; science is impudent; liberty, dissolute. The holiness of the sacred is despised; the majesty of divine worship is not only disapproved by evil men, but defiled and held up to ridicule. Hence sound doctrine is perverted and errors of all kinds spread boldly. The laws of the sacred, the rights, institutions, and discipline -- none are safe from the audacity of those speaking evil. Our Roman See is harassed violently and the bonds of unity are daily loosened and severed. The divine authority of the Church is opposed and her rights shorn off. She is subjected to human reason and with the greatest injustice exposed to the hatred of the people and reduced to vile servitude. The obedience due bishops is denied and their rights are trampled underfoot. Furthermore, academies and schools resound with new, monstrous opinions, which openly attack the Catholic faith; this horrible and nefarious war is openly and even publicly waged. Thus, by institutions and by the example of teachers, the minds of the youth are corrupted and a tremendous blow is dealt to religion and the perversion of morals is spread. So the restraints of religion are thrown off, by which alone kingdoms stand. We see the destruction of public order, the fall of principalities, and the overturning of all legitimate power approaching. Indeed this great mass of calamities had its inception in the heretical societies and sects in which all that is sacrilegious, infamous, and blasphemous has gathered as bilge water in a ship's hold, a congealed mass of all filth."

Jenni Rivera: Exactly What Is Banda Music?
Jenni Rivera, killed in a plane crash on Sunday in Mexico, was 43, three times divorced, the mother of five and one of the defining stars of Spanish-language television, where her brassy, no-nonsense style made her such an icon to U.S. Latinas that ABC was developing a sitcom for her, titled just "Jenni." But I'll bet a lot of you have no idea what banda, her musical style, is. Find out here. And listen here.

The American West is sometimes characterized in simple, iconic images: the cowboy, the miner, the farmer. "This book is edited against that," says Frontcountry photographer Lucas Foglia. "The pictures wander on purpose."
Foglia spent seven years with his camera, jumping from town to town, from New Mexico to Montana. He captures moments that distinguish the West from the rest of the country, as well as moments that could have happened anywhere in America. And then he mixes them all together.

The result is a collage of life and landscape — kids playing, a carved-out copper mine, a newborn calf, soccer practice, teens drinking in a snowbank.
Frontcountry begins with shots of cowboys, but slowly, mining enters the picture.
"To me, the central issue of the book is that there isn't an alternative way to keep a lot of these towns alive besides mining," Foglia says. "A lot of these towns now exist because of mining. But eventually people are going to leave when the mines leave."
Foglia grew up on a family farm — now one of the last farms — in Huntington, about 30 miles from New York City.
"The land around us as I was growing up developed into suburban houses," he says. "My parents face the same question these ranchers face: how to keep doing what they're doing."

Refreshing Spring Water.
Do you have any idea what this goes for on the auction house? It is freaking handed to level 1 casters the moment they enter the game and it goes for as much as 1 gold each. OP! BLIZZ NERF PLZ OMFG! HAXX! This is ridiculous! I demand that blizzard give two boar meat to every melee character as restitution for this travesty.
Can you figure out why it is so valuable?
PS: As of 3.3.3 blizzard heard the desperate cry of melee everywhere and nerfed caster starting water into the ground.
EDIT: There's been some nasty feedback on this post but I think some people are not realizing that it's:
A. Meant to be a joke.
B. Should get you thinking about the possibility of other low level items selling well.
C. Generate a conversation on why low level stuff like water which can be bought from vendors sells at all.

orc casters = easiest access to neutral auction house.
neutral auction house = allows the ability to trade between factions
being the master of both factions auction houses means you can get the most money.
Drinking achievement?

Yes sir and what's funny about this particular item is that the building next to the (horde) auction house has an inn keeper who sells it.

You think thats OP? Read my post entitled "Easy gold in Teldrassil"
Anonymous said... September 29, 2010 at 9:02 AM
According to wowhead, lvl1 characters no longer start with food/drink since patch 3.3.
My guess for why it sells in AH is a few Engineering recipes (for opening doors/chests) need it. Also Thistle Tea for rogues. Presumably bought by non-casters who don't realise how easy it is to get from a vendor.
Anonymous said... September 29, 2010 at 9:21 AM
People are too lazy to run to an innkeeper, that's why it sells for 1 Gold each. It's used in a recipy that is popular for leveling cooking and for thistle tea as someone else pointed out. Being lazy costs lots of gold.
Time to stock up on ice cold milk, vendor might be out by the time great father winter comes along ...
Since I sell clam meat at a ridiculous rate, I'm going to say that is the reason why they sell so well. I seem to remember a holiday event that used them for cooking as well, though I don't remember which recipe off hand.
However, back to the original post - casters don't start with water anymore. They took that away a patch or two ago when 1-15 regen got buffed so much that if you took the time to find your water and click on it then you were already back to full mana anyway and nobody cared. By the time you had enough mana for it to be worth your while you could already buy the level 15 water instead.
-50 DKP for not checking facts before posting :P
Markco said... September 29, 2010 at 10:13 AM
Evlyxx nice blog, I added to the "other blogs" blog roll.
So the answer is people sell refreshing spring water cross faction Alliance --> Horde?!
The NU said... September 29, 2010 at 11:53 AM
Yeah I have to agree, this post isn't all that great of a gold tip seeing as, the nerf was ages ago in 3.3 last year.
The way it's wrote is misleading I think. And no, they didn't nerf the water being given to casters or all food to all starting characters for that matter because a caster can sell water on the AH for a gold or more.
No, it was removed being Blizzard is making the game more appealing to new players new to the game. For someone who has never played a MMO having to stop every few mobs to drink and eat is no fun to them. This was why they made it so the regen rate form level 1 to 10 is extremely fast. This made having food and water in the bags pointless, so they where removed.
And sadly 90% of all level 1 made the water gets vendor anyways. The only people who did take advantage of this when you could get free water, where players who where starting new characters on a new servers to make gold on a level 1.
But I want to give a gold tip being well, this one is sort of a fail post, which is shocking, sadly.
First is, that you can still make gold with water even at this level, the mobs in the starting zones still drop water as normal. So just do some quest to get starter cash and you should have 4-5 or more water that you can list up to get starter cash. This can be done with any class (other then DK that is).
So yeah, a good tip for new AH users who need starter cash, water, copper rods are great. But mislending to believe you start with water making it 100% profit isn't so good a tip.
The NU said... September 29, 2010 at 11:56 AM
Oh and almost forgot to point out, why does spring water sell? The same reason copper rods sell. They are needed for professions.
Some have pointed out water is used by engineerings for the seaform bombs. Yes, but also can be used for cooking and what no one has pointed out, the snowballs. Engineering can make snowballs which sell okay some weeks and real good other weeks.
I did some research on this a while back, and a half the time, the people who pick up water, where people who didn't have Engineering at all. I think there are people who just buy things just to buy them, and never bother to go to vendors.
Markco said... September 29, 2010 at 12:00 PM
The NU - This post is supposed to be silly and make you laugh. It's only a gold for the water, however the idea that such a low level item is valuable should make you think twice about vendoring items while you level.
fallstaff said... September 29, 2010 at 2:01 PM
? ive been selling a stack of water for 5g atleast once a week. and milk goes for triple what you buy it for. During the holiday where you have to make a cake it goes for 2-3g for one. barely anyone posts them cause the vendor is like 2 sec away but it does sell.
Mommar said... September 29, 2010 at 2:34 PM
every time i read these type of posts it just makes me that much more stubborn to the idea of not being the "good guy" and giving lowbies money when they beg for it.
Liam said... September 29, 2010 at 2:38 PM
Thistle tea - Instantly restores 50 engery I think. will be one of the reasons.
And im sure there is an item you can get during winterviel which requires 1 Refreshing spring water to create a snowball.
Thats my guess. Pretty sure there are at least a few more recipies which require it aswell.

OH MY GOD it worked. I do like trying some of the minor gold tips out just to see what happens. Yes I sold 25 in stacks of 5 for 1g 27 each. Madness.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans met on a date with Nathan Griffith on the second episode of this new season and she was very open about having a heroin addiction. She was clean at the time, but he was worried that she may relapse. He didn't seem to be too bothered by the fact that she was once shooting up. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 5, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is now revealing that her boyfriend is worried about her relapsing, especially now that they are dating.
"I was kinda scared that she was addicted to heroin, but when I first saw you coping with your life without drugs, I knew you wanted to make a change for yourself," Nathan revealed to Jenelle during the After Show. "You wanted to make a better you. Since I've seen you and since I've lived with you, there hasn't been a doubt in my mind that you're gonna relapse. You don't abuse drugs, you don't abuse alcohol."
However, it sounds like Jenelle was just going through a phase with her drugs. "Once I got clean I've never felt so great in my life to stay off a drug. It's just insane how it can make you feel. Crazy. I know ultimately if I ever got on heroin again or relapsed, you would probably leave me," Jenelle told Nathan. "I mean, like, it's just everyone would have been affected, not just you. It would have screwed up my whole life again."
What do you think of their relationship?

ELYRIA – You don`t have to ask the children at Keystone Elementary School about the meaning of Christmas.
For three weeks, they have been avidly collecting change and have $2,180 to help folks in need of food, toys and holiday cheer as part of LaGrange Lions Club`s Loose Change Drive.
|Madyson Hetsler, 5, Toby Pfeifer and Sammi Stefan, both 8
A running score of donations was entered on a chart outside Principal Ryan Coleman`s office and third-graders collected the most money.
"Every single day, there were hundreds of kids looking at this graph," Coleman said. "When you raise nearly $2,200, that`s a lot of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters."
Kay Hegadore of the Lions Club will thank the winning third-graders at their holiday assembly tonight.
Sammi Stefan, 8, said she`s glad her class won and she hopes the money will help.
"It feels good to help other people," Sammi said.
Another third-grader, Toby Pfeifer, said he wants the Lions Club to buy "food, clothes and drink" to give to the needy.
Bags of money were placed in a big bucket and by the end of the collection, "It was so heavy, they could hardly carry it," said Toby, 8.
Even the tiniest child was able to help. Madyson Hetsler, 5, a kindergarten student, said she wants the money to go toward "Christmas presents for families."
While the elementary children collected change, students at the middle school collected toys and personal items to put in the boxes and students at the high school collected food, Hegadore said.
"It`s wonderful," Hegadore said of the effort. "It teaches them there are other people in the world who need help."
She said Scout troops help organize the 150 boxes, which are delivered with the assistance of Linden Propane and Commerce Delivery Co.
Hegadore said there are a few boxes left to give in the Holiday Cheer Box program conducted with the assistance of Second Harvest Food Bank, Burger King and WOBL-AM.

(Thom Andersen, 2012, 67 min)
Documentary, Experimental, Filmmaker in Attendance, Special Presentations
Thom Andersen's 2012 film Reconversão (Reconversion) surveys the work of architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. Although Andersen was invited specifically to make the film in Portugal on the occasion of the Vila do Conde festival's 20th anniversary, his attentiveness to the Pritzker prize winning architect's buildings and unbuilt projects is equal to the revered contemplation of his hometown in 2003's Los Angeles Plays Itself.
Travelling around sites in northern Portugal, from the monumental sports stadium in Braga to Porto's understated modernist subway network, the viewer begins to grasp Souto de Moura's loyalty to the architectural history of the sites and buildings he is commissioned to develop. What is striking is his fascination with the afterlife of his work – the ruin – as a measure of the society evolving around it. The narrator reads a quotation by the architect's frequent collaborator Álvaro Siza: "If the objects of the city are actual or potential ruins, if they are subject to changes in use and significance, if they succeed in time and space in going beyond their own destiny, then we can say the city is functional."
Interestingly, during Reconversão, the camera records at a reduced rate, adjusting the viewer to the building's sense of time, which inevitably outlasts our own. - Shama Khanna

text: Unfortunately for the Dallas Cowboys, both they and the Washington Redskins were penalized for spending over a non-existent salary cap during the uncapped season prior to the end of the previous CBA. If that sounds illogical to you, it has for a lot of other observers as well, but the fact remains that the Cowboys and Redskins have been stripped of some cap room last offseason and again this offseason. As a result, they have to be much tighter with their spending.

College Hockey:Believe the Hype
Minnesota, New Hampshire Tie in Thriller
DURHAM, N.H. — When it was all said and done, round one went to no one.
In a game that completely lived up to its highly-anticipated billing, No. 1 Minnesota and No. 3 New Hampshire skated to a 5-5 standoff in front of a sellout crowd at the Whittemore Center in the first of a two-game, non-league doubleheader. The two teams square off for the rematch Saturday night at 7 p.m.
Troy Riddle scored two goals for the defending national champion Golden Gophers, while All-American Colin Hemingway recorded two goals for the Wildcats.
"The game turned out exactly as we thought it would. Two good teams going at it," said UNH head coach Dick Umile.
Minnesota coach Don Lucia concurred.
"It had that 'big game' atmosphere. The crowd really got into it," Lucia said. "Sometimes that raises the level of play of the guys out on the ice, and I think you saw that tonight."
Both teams came into the contest with resounding victories under their belts. Minnesota piled on 51 shots in a 7-2 victory over Ohio State, while New Hampshire was coming off a 10-0 drubbing of Vermont. Each team came in loaded with offense, and neither club disappointed on this night.
In the early going, it looked as though the game would be decided by whichever team could hold the fort on the penalty kill. Five of the 10 goals in the game came with the man advantage.
New Hampshire got things started on the power play off a beautiful feed from junior Steve Saviano to his former high school teammate, Sean Collins, for a 1-0 UNH lead.
Minnesota answered right back on the power play less than three minutes later, with Riddle netting his first of the night. New Hampshire then went back on the power play, and the Wildcats connected again, with Hemingway recording his first of the evening (and first of the season).
UNH carried the play against the top-ranked Gophers in the first period, and when Hemingway potted his second goal of the night at 14:47 to make it 3-1 for the home team, it looked as though the Wildcats might just run away with this one.
"They're so quick around the net. We have to do a better job of getting the puck out of our own zone," said Lucia.
Minnesota, however, was just getting going.
Junior Paul Martin got the Gophers right back into the game when he sent one through the wickets of UNH junior goaltender Michael Ayers. Freshman Gino Guyer then delivered one of the best individual efforts you'll ever see, taking the puck from his own end through a chorus of Wildcat skaters, then finishing things off with a wrister that flew past Ayers for his first goal of the season, and suddenly it was 3-3.
"It was very frustrating. We had them down, 3-1, then we had a couple of lapses. You give a team like that chances, and they'll beat you," said UNH senior Lanny Gare.
Nevertheless, UNH headed into the locker room with the lead back in hand at the 18:34 mark, thanks to Minnesota native Tim Horst. The junior out of South St. Paul, Minn. sent one past Minnesota netminder Justin Johnson to give UNH the lead, 4-3, after one period.
If UNH held the edge in play for the first period, Minnesota outright dominated the game in the second period.
The Gophers tied it up at four at 9:55, again with the extra skater, when junior Dan Welch scored his second of the year. Minnesota stifled the Wildcat offense by delivering constant pressure of their own, and at the 17:54 mark, Riddle scored his second of the night with a slap shot from the blue line that beat Ayers to the short side, giving Minnesota its first lead of the night, 5-4. While UNH held a 13-9 shot advantage in the first period, The Gophers registered a commanding 13-2 shot count in the middle period.
"We turned the puck over a lot," said Umile. "They outplayed us [in the second period]. You have to give credit to them, but we didn't play well."
All of which set the table for a scintillating third period.
Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard took a costly penalty at 5:26, when he was whistled for two-minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a 10-minute misconduct for shooting the puck after the whistle had blown. On the ensuing power play, Gare made Ballard and the Gophers pay by scoring his fourth goal of the season to knot the seesaw affair at five apiece.
New Hampshire had far better good scoring chances as the period wore on.
"I told my players that they were flipping a lot of pucks high in the air down the ice, and to watch out for that, and not to let their guys get in ahead of the puck," said Lucia
The speedy Collins almost broke the deadlock off a redirect, but Johnson was up to the task. Johnson was none better a few minutes later when he again robbed Collins, this time on a breakaway.
"At first, I didn't know who it was," said Lucia of Collins' breakaway. "That's not the guy that you want with the puck at that point."
And with less than two minutes left in regulation, Gare looked to have the best chance of all from three feet out, but the puck hopped off his stick.
The overtime session was a bit anti-climactic, with the two teams having had the sellout crowd on the edge of their seats the entire game. UNH had the best chance, when sophomore Justin Aikens was in all alone, but Johnson made a game-saving stop to preserve the tie.
"All in all, with all of the young guys that we have, we played pretty well," said Lucia. "I don't think that we played great at times, though. Our penalty killing has to be better."
Said Hemingway, "It's bittersweet. We had a chance to win it. But we'll go back at it tomorrow."
Minnesota and New Hampshire conclude their two-game set at 7 p.m. on Saturday night at the Whittemore Center. The game is also marked as "Rod Langway Night," in honor of the former UNH star defenseman who will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 4.

An Okaloosa County man could spend the rest of his life in prison for a shooting in Marianna.
It took a Jackson County Circuit Court jury just a little over an hour to convict 64-year-old Edil Carror of attempted second degree murder.
The shooting happened on January 20 on Magnolia Road just south of Marianna.
Carror supposedly tried to run another driver off of the road. The two got into an argument. The other driver's granddaughter, 12-year-old Ronna Grubbs, was in the passenger seat.
Carror fired a .357 magnum handgun into the vehicle and stuck the Grubbs girl over the right temple. The bullet then exited over her left eye. She was life-flighted to Flowers Hospital in Dothan, Alabama in critical condition.
Fortunately, she survived and testified in the trial in Marianna this week.
The jury convicted Carror of the attempted murder charge, as well as aggravated battery with a firearm, and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
Because the jury found him guilty of the use of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, Carror faces a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for October 24.

College Hockey:Dartmouth's Glass Nets OT Winner
HANOVER, N.H. — Welcome to the type of streaking television is only too proud to air.
Buoyed by a Tanner Glass goal at 3:58 of overtime Saturday, Dartmouth outlasted Princeton for a 2-1 ECACHL win in front of a sprit towel-waving sellout crowd of 4,500 at Thompson Arena.
Perhaps they were simply showing off for ESPNU, but the Big Green kept in step on their march toward the top of the league standings, getting a win that at least temporarily put them in a tie with Cornell for the ECACHL point.
Regardless, Dartmouth (13-10-2 overall, 11-5-2 league) salved the foul taste of its 0-4 league start in November with an 11-1-2 stretch in ECACHL play that's keeping the Big Green in the hunt for home ice in next month's league tournament.
"It doesn't get any easier," said Glass, whose teammates visit front running Cornell and fellow lead horse Colgate next weekend. "The last four games of the year are great for seedings in the playoffs. We're taking it one game at a time and trying to take care of business."
Dartmouth did exactly that after enduring some of the usual – and unusual – monkey business that always plagues a Princeton trip to Thompson.
The unusual: the Tigers' Kevin Westgarth drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty before the opening face off by taking out the legs of Dartmouth's Nick Johnson, a feat Princeton's Darroll Powe pulled on the Big Green's Dan Shribman six minutes later. Dartmouth didn't score on either power play but did take the lead at 17:04 on David Jones' bullet wrister past Tiger netminder Eric Leroux.
The usual: about 100 tennis balls hit the ice moments after the goal, mostly from the Dartmouth student section, but Princeton (9-15-1 overall, 6-11-1 league) couldn't take advantage of the minor penalty that resulted for the hosts.
The Tigers, however, tightened up their defensive play and held the Big Green off the board again until overtime. Junior Christian Read produced his first collegiate goal at 4:58 of the third, redirecting a Brett Westgarth point wrister through the pads of Dartmouth goalie Mike Devine (21 saves) to force the extra session.
"I'm not sure any of us realized it at the time," Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky said. "He's worked extremely hard, persevered a long time to get an opportunity. And he played very well tonight."
Glass' game winner came as a result of fore checking work from Jones and Mike Ouellette behind the Princeton goal. As Glass backed into a defender at the edge of the crease, Jones put a pass from Leroux's left on the tape of Glass' stick for the redirection inside the left post.
Dartmouth goes into the Cornell-Colgate trip riding a six-game unbeaten streak and a 10-game unbeaten run in league play. Princeton hosts RPI and Union next weekend.

this is millies story..
I had a bad fall from helping my friend break in her horse, and knowing i would not be well enough to give millie all she needed i put her up for loan. That way she could still be ridden as she loved riding. So these people came to look at her and said yes, after doing the passport and everything i ok'ed for the loan to go on. I checked on her for the first two weeks, I also told them I would pay for shoes and feed to ensure she had them as my baby could not walk well without them. So after two weeks I went to see her and no one was there and i saw a chart for the girl and a boy who was riding and when I thought the bit steak gergen people was telling me they saw her cantering millie and splash on the rides without shoes. So i went to see her again and no one was there. Then the blacksmith called me and told me she had rode Millie to his yard 5 to 6 miles away, to take her shoes off and then she rode her back without any shoes on. I was desperate at this point, I needed to get my girl home by this time I was told she tried to jump a bench and Millies feet was sore. she did not make the jump and court her hind legs on the bench cutting herfrom the hocks to hoof, very deep and untreated i got kicked off the land, as it was her grandads, he did not see what she was doing, I got to her with my dad and one of my four sons and she was locked in a stable, I was going to break in but the girl turned up and I got into Millie. she had no hay and was deep in muck, I tired to walk her out but she could not walk, so finally got her out after a bit of water ti look at her as you can see the second my son took the rug what i was. She was so painfully thin her legs were red hot swollen. I looked at her feet to see the mess, As you can all see clearly in the pictures. when the vet got there he was shocked to see her in this state as he has seen her seven weeks before. he tried to pick up her hind foot and she feel as she could not stand no longer. he said keep her down while he examined her but she didnt even try to get up. he told me after sometime we had to put her to sleep I said no, please do anything, money didnt matter but nothing anyone could do when she had gone. You can see i could not leave her, she didnt know anyone. now she was gone but she was still warm and i was dragged away so they could get her up the field. I did not know they was going to put her headcolloer on tie her to back on the four by four and drag my baby girl behind it to the top as if she didnt go though enough, they had to go do thst even when she was gone, they just wanted us off the land.(As im writing this tears come down my face like crazy) I just feel like its happening all again. all i want to do is help others. to see im trying to help, dont judge me for trying to help i would not be able to live with myself knowing she will do this again and I showing and telling you all what this monster did.
rest in peace my angel!♥♥
Everyone please like this page, and pay your respects to Millie. http://www.facebook.com/pages/RIP-Millie-a-beautiful-horse-that-didnt-deserve-what-she-got/224206884294408?sk=info - It would be great help also if you went to this page and signed a petition to get justice for Jemma on behalf of Millie > http://www.thepetitionsite.com/406/justice-for-jemma-and-her-horse-millie/

OMG I have seen the pictures you've made me cry! My horse had to be put to sleep he was called snowy he had arthritis we spents hundreds on painkillers but he would'nt of suvived another winter. Millie was beautiful how could anyone do that. That girl should be banned from having horses in fact she should be banned from having animals. It says on the page of the second link that she now has another horse on loan! Horrible. Anyway Im so sorry im crying now! RIP Millie.
Have fun wherever you are!

I'm running the London Marathon to raise money for CALM.
I was starting to lose count of the number of young men I knew that were taking their own lives; my cousin, a friend, lads I'd known through work or from the area in Liverpool where I live. Things could have turned out much differently if these lads knew there was someone they could turn to,that's why I chose CALM.
It's my first attempt at a marathon,I started running towards the end of 2008 and with the help of Penny Lane Striders running club have completed numerous races including four half marathons. My training could be going a bit better but I ran the Four Villages Half Marathon in Cheshire in a personal best time so it's given me a real boost,I'm actually starting to look forward to my long Sunday runs now,not so sure I'll be saying that when we're hitting 22 miles but you never know!

nanoHUB-U: Thermal Energy at the Nanoscale
A free five-week course on the essential physics of thermal energy at the nanoscale.
Brought to you by:
A free five-week course on the essential physics of thermal energy at the nanoscale
This web-based course was developed by Professor Tim Fisher to update content that has been taught previously in regular university courses and through the NCN Summer School. This short course is sponsored by nanoHUB and covers the most important thermal transport fundamentals presented in a semester-long course that has been very popular with on-campus students.
Thermal Energy at the Nanoscale is a five-week online course that develops a unified framework for understanding essential physics of nanoscale thermal energy and its important applications, trends, and directions. The course is taught at the level of a Purdue graduate course for first-year students, but there are no admission requirements and no need to travel to Purdue. The online course can be taken from anywhere in the world. Each week contains six 20-minute video lectures covering essential physics, practical considerations, models for simulation, and fundamental limits.
Lessons from Nanoscience Lecture Notes Series
Registered participants will be provided an electronic draft copy of lecture notes being written by Prof. Fisher. These notes are published in a book entitled Thermal Energy at the Nanoscale as part of World Scientific's Lessons from Nanoscience Lecture Notes Series.
Scientific Overview Video
Course Objectives
The objective for this course is to provide students with an understanding of the essential physics of thermal transport as well as some of the practical technological considerations and fundamental limits. The goal is to do this in a way that is broadly accessible to students with only a very basic knowledge of heat transfer. Students in this course will:
1. Gain an understanding of the fundamental elements of solid-state physics relevant to thermal transport.
2. Develop skills to derive continuum physical properties from sub-continuum principles.
3. Apply statistical and physical principles to describe thermal energy transport in modern small-scale materials and devices.
The list of interesting materials and physical structures is almost endless, and therefore given the subject of nanoscale physics, the course begins with a basic treatment of interatomic bonding and crystal structure but then highlights where possible a compelling structure—the graphene carbon lattice—to illustrate important facets of unique thermal behavior at the nanoscale.
Who Should Take the Course
Anyone seeking a sound, physical, but simple understanding of how heat flows at the thermal carrier level. The study of thermal energy in any material should rightly begin with a description of the material itself. Thermal energy, unlike other forms of energy, such as optical, electronic, and magnetic, is routinely generated, stored, and transported by a diverse set of carriers. The reason for broader context of thermal energy derives from the second law of thermodynamics, which dictates that all forms of energy tend toward disorder (or thermalization). In this course, we will make every reasonable attempt to unify the analysis—i.e., to generalize concepts so that they apply to multiple carriers, but this objective is occasionally elusive. In such cases, we will make clear the relevant restrictions by carrier and material types. The course should be useful for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students as well as researchers and practicing engineers and scientists. The goal is to provide a simple, accessible, but sound introduction to the fundamentals of thermal transport.
This course is intended to be broadly accessible to those with a background in the physical sciences or engineering. No familiarity with heat transfer and thermal physics is assumed. A basic familiarity with topics usually covered in a two-semester college course in introductory physics is assumed. Selected topics from upper-division undergraduate courses in electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics will be reviewed when required. A working knowledge of both integral and differential calculus is assumed. A basic understanding of concepts such as Fourier's Law, Ohm's Law, etc. will be helpful.

|Previous Page > News and Reviews Index > Popular Computing weekly Win an ACE!
In the October 1982, Popular Computing weekly ran a competition to win a Jupiter Ace.
The lucky winners were, Jolyon Ralph and Jeremy Hill (if anyone knows where he is, please get in touch with Jolyon or me), their programme was called "Elements" and was a basic chemistry program.
"I put it together in Prolog (or rather a version of Prolog designed as an educational tool for kids called 'SIMPLE')
We were part of a pilot group given computer lessons one afternoon a week as part of a project run by Imperial College - strangely enough Jeremy wasn't part of the Pilot group, but he hung around enough times at lunch and after school to get himself involved."
"It was written on a Northstar Horizon CP/M machine which our school was given by Imperial College as part of this project - Later on we had *two* computers, we were given a Research Machines 380Z too.."
"The program was quite simple, it was a table of elements with data, and a set of functions that allowed you to query them using various rules - unfortunately I don't have a copy of this any more. "
(If it turns up we I would love to list it here!)
"I seem to recall that they only printed Jeremy's name in the magazine as the "winner" - which was not surprising as he was the one who did the documentation and filled in the entry form!" - Jolyon Ralph

JEREMY Hill of Wimbledon has won a Jupiter Ace in our Better than Basic competition. His winning entry, written in Prolog, was a program to determine the name, atomic weight, number and symbol of various elements. Co-judge Steve Vickers commented that the program "demonstrated how a non-Basic program could do some jobs much faster than an equivalent Basic program".
Other competition entries worthy of mention include M Graven's dictionary program, written in Forth, and Bentley Thomas's Towers of Hanoi program, written in micro-Forth.

I really enjoyed reading the BBC interview with Tim Berners-Lee. But, I was in awe at how Mark Lawson kept trying to get him to say that he felt responsible for the bad elements of the web...
But do you feel responsible? You say humanity will do whatever it does with it, do you feel responsible for what happens?
You must reflect though on the law of unintended consequences because it wasn't remotely ever your intention when you started on this that so much of the web would be given over to sexual exhibitionists masturbating in their bedrooms with webcams. Do you ever have bad moments about that?
And you've never had a sleepless night over that?
Could he not come up with anything better? This isn't freaking Oppenheimer.

Living Lite: Connected Travel without a Laptop
By jhawk on Oct 15, 2005
There are several times that a laptop wasn't the answer for my travel. One of the great applications of the Internet has been Web-based email. Since the Microsoft $450M purchase of HotMail, the Industry has really hasn't seen the potential in these "Lite" applications for the Internet. Email and Calendar might be great, but Imagine what the Google/Sun Alliance will bring in terms of Office Suite software.
Here are a few cases where I simply was stuck..
On my last trip to Singapore. I had a disaster with my laptop. I left my power cord for my Toshiba laptop at my desk. Nothing is sadder than when you are working on your laptop and you see the "plug in your laptop to save your work" message popup screams at you... and then you look and see no power adapter in your bag.
Sometimes I may not want to bring my laptop with me when I travel. Going on vacation should mean "getting away" from technology. As I travel, I do find that most areas frequented by Tourist have fairly decent venues for Internet Cafe's. Usually this is good enough to get online and check some e-mail. Around the world you can usually find a "loaner PC" from the larger hotel chains. In North America, Kinko's has terminals. And some places have decent Internet cafes such as EasyInternet Cafes in Europe. The idea of travel vacations is not to sit in front of a PC.
The Sun/Google/OpenOffice site isn't ready yet, but until then many of us can travel "lite" with just bringing our portable memory device. One cool site that I've found recommends Windows software for your USB Vault or iPod or MP3 player. I haven't had to use this yet, but seems like everything you need to get some "quick or emergency" work done is here.

What are the survival statistics of metastatic breast cancer?
In general, women have more treatment options if their breast cancer is detected early, and their chances of survival are greater. However, this does not mean that women with metastatic breast cancer do not survive. Many breast cancer mental health professionals recommend that women avoid survival statistics. This is because treatment options are constantly being expanded and statistics are old by the time they are reported. However the American Cancer Society website provides some basic statistics.

Ray Hansen, P&S, Value Added Agriculture
Prior to the recent signing of the Renewable Fuels Standard, interest in expanding the biodiesel industry in Iowa was reaching a feverish pitch. Numerous individuals and groups from around the state were seeking information about the potential and opportunities for building biodiesel plants. Most potential investors looked at the recent success of ethanol and believed that biodiesel presented the same opportunities and seemed anxious to be one of the first entities to get the next plant up and running.
To provide accurate information about the current production capacity and potential demand for biodiesel production in Iowa.
ISU Extension staff from the Value-added Agriculture programs provided and participated in numerous activities and events to help provide factual information about the current biodiesel industry. ISU-VAAP help host two state-wide information meeting to provide biodiesel industry overviews. Both meeting were held at the Iowa Farm Bureau in conjunction with IFB, IDED, IDALS, USDA and the Iowa Soybean Association. Both meetings had over 200 attendees. Additionally the ISU staff met with at least eight local farmer/community groups to discuss the potential for biodiesel production in there communities. These meetings also outlined the due-diligence needed to develop potential projects. Several of these groups requested bids for doing feasibility studies for their proposed projects. One feasibility study was conducts as a result. Numerous emails and phone inquiries have also been answered to supplement the on-going information distribution efforts.
Over 500 producers/investors have been provided with current and relevant information regarding biodiesel potential in Iowa. Outcomes will continue to be measured over the next 1-2 years as many of the groups assisted are still in the planning and evaluation stages and have not yet made a determination as to proceeding. Currently one plant is under construction and at least a dozen groups are still in evaluation stages. Equally as important, a similar number of individuals/groups have opted not to pursue projects based on the information provided.

On Monday, Quartz published an article by Devin Cohen titled, There is a Secret Ingredient in Your Burgers: Wood Pulp. Given the headline and people's already present suspicion regarding all of the shady and potentially dangerous ingredients hidden in food items, the article gained a lot of traction. In subsequent days, most journalists and bloggers have focused on the dangers of this additive (unclear) and whether or not it is pervasive throughout the food chain as opposed to just fast food (it appears to be).
The one angle that has not been explored as much is the overall trend. Let's go ahead and assume that wood pulp is a safe thing to consume, it certainly seems to have no nutritional value whatsoever. So why are companies inserting it into food items? To mask inflation and earn more profits most likely. This was a major theme I focused on last year in a series of pieces on stealth inflation and food fraud, a couple of which can be read below:

Not everyone relies on doctors to treat common ailments. And not everyone believes store-bought is better. Instead, they depend on home remedies and there are some wild ideas out there.
Can home remedies be effective? Mom Erin Barringer thinks so. "It works if you believe in it. Just getting to the doctor is a hassle so home remedies are an excellent alternative!"
To find unconventional answers to ailments, we contacted those we thought would know best ... Moms. Erin Barringer is the president of the Mom's Club of West Hartford. She sent out an email soliciting ideas. After the first response, the moms were hooked. "Other moms were very quick to reply and share their remedies as well, so it was a nice dialogue between us via e-mail."
Here's a short version, of a once long list we came up with. Use peppermint foot cream for bad breath or body odor.
Preparation H for under-eye puffiness.
Try taping banana peels to your feet for wart removal.
Caffeinated coffee grounds can smooth out cellulite.
Some sound strange but could these remedies produce real results? We decided to ask a doctor.
Dr. A. J. Smally says, "The power of positive thinking and the power of suggestion is pertinent for all of these things."
And believe it or not, many have some medical merit! We took a closer look at our list with Dr. Smally. As it ends up, peppermint may be absorbed topically, although the skin on the foot is probably too thick. The thinner the better. "Perhaps under your arms or some place like that and peppermint I guess would work for bad breath."
Yes, the face is an unlikely place for Preparation H, but it does contain astringent which can cause skin to tighten! "So it makes sense that if you had loose skin under your eyelids that an astringent would cause some contraction."
Duct tape is a known wart remover. Dr. Smally says bananas may work too. "I would imagine if you tape down a piece of a banana peel it would do a similar thing. It's just that it would smell bad."
As for coffee as a cellulite treatment? "Caffeine is used in a lot of over the counter preparations. There's no evidence that it works but it might be cheaper to use your own coffee than to buy the product."
Dr. Smally says overall there are much better treatments available for all the ailments mentioned, but giving these home remedies a try can't hurt. His only suggestion was "If you want to have friends, don't strap a whole banana to your foot."
Just don't get the Preparation H in your eye either.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
It has sometimes - though usually informally - been suggested that the psychological arrow can be reduced to the thermodynamic arrow through information processing properties of the brain. In this talk we demonstrate that this particular suggestion cannot succeed, as, insofar as information processing (at least in the sense of a classical computer) has an arrow of time, it is not governed by the thermodynamic arrow.
I will discuss fine tuning in modified gravity models that can account for today's dark energy. I will introduce some models where the underlying cosmological constant may be Planck scale but starts as a redundant coupling which can be eliminated by a field redefinition. The observed vacuum energy arises when the redundancy is explicitly broken.
In contrast to Heisenberg\'s position-momentum uncertainty relation, the status of the time-energy uncertainty relation has always remained dubious, For example, it is often said that \'time\' in quantum theory is not an observable and not represented by a self-adjoint operator. I will review the background of the problem and propose a view on the uncertainty relations in which the cases of position-momentum and time-energy can be treated in the same way.
In frustrated systems, competing interactions lead to complex phase diagrams and sometimes entirely new states of matter. Frustration often arises from the lattice geometry, leaving the system delicately balanced between a variety of possible orders. A number of normally weak effects can lead to a lifting of this degeneracy. For example, I will discuss how quantum fluctuations can stabilize a supersolid phase, where the system is at once both a crystal and a superfluid.
In this talk I will discuss a feature of quantum state evolution in a relativistic spacetime, the feature that David Albert has recently dubbed \'non-narratability.\' This is: a complete state history given along one foliation does not always, by itself (that is, without specification of the dynamics of the system), determine the history along another foliation. The question arises: is this a deep distinction between quantum and classical state evolution, that deserves our fuller attention? I will discuss some results relevant to this question.
It has been a common viewpoint that the process of quantization ought to replace the singularities of classical general relativity by some chaotic-looking structure at the scale of the Planck length. In this talk I shall argue that whereas this is to be expected at black-hole singularities, Nature\'s true picture of what goes on at the Big Bang is very different, where clocks cannot exist and the conformal geometry is completely smooth.
The underlying motivation for rejecting Everett\'s many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics and instead exploring single-world interpretations is to make physical theory concordant with human experience. From this perspective, the wave function collapse and Bohm-de Broglie interpretations are anthropocentric in origin. But this does not lessen their importance. Indeed accounting for our human experience of the physical world is a key element of any physical theory.
The unparalleled empirical success of quantum theory strongly suggests that it accurately captures fundamental aspects of the workings of the physical world. The clear articulation of these aspects is of inestimable value --- not only for the deeper understanding of quantum theory in itself, but for its further development, particularly for the development of a theory of quantum gravity.
A reference frame can be treated as a physical quantum object internal to the theory. Quantum reference frames whose size, and therefore accuracy, are bounded in some way necessarily limit one\'s ability to prepare states and to perform quantum operations and measurements on a system. The nature of these limitations is similar in many ways to that of decoherence.
It is widely believed that the dynamical mechanism of decoherence plays a key role in understanding the emergence of classicality from quantum systems, via the environment-induced superselection of a preferred set of subsystem states, the density matrices for which are approximately diagonal in the pointer basis. In this talk, I prove that the vast majority of subsystems do *not* exhibit this behavior, regardless of the Hamiltonian. This shows that the emergence of classicality is highly state-dependent (as suggested by related work of Hartle and others).

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
After a night of heavy showers, we were lucky the weather was holding. This was my second year in Mushroom Identification class, and I was grateful for no repeat of the first year's merciless downpour.
Amateur mycologist and instructor Bob Burch teaches students in his mushroom identification class about mushrooms they have collected. Wescom News Service/Matthew C. Durkee
This year, I had the right gear. No more dressing like a newcomer in easily soaked hiking boots and jeans.
PVC boots and bib overalls were on to keep me dry and a sturdy walking stick helped me keep my balance while slogging up a steep slope blanketed in duff, that thick layer of loose organic matter — decaying bark, branches, needles, leaves — common on many regional forest floors.The assignment, on the Saturday morning of Nov. 7, was for 30 class members to spread out and search the woods growing above a creek in a narrow tributary canyon of the Winchuck River in Southern Oregon.
We were to collect three specimens — one young, one mature and one old — of every kind of fungus we could find.
Our teacher was Bob Burch, an amateur mycologist who puts on the class locally twice each fall, on one weekend apiece at College of the Redwoods-Del Norte and Southwestern Oregon Community College's Curry County campus in Brookings.
Burch is not the first teacher of the class, but he has taught it for the past 20 years, serving as an important resource for both novice and intermediate hunters interested in finding the many varieties of edible wild mushrooms that grow abundantly here.
Edible mushrooms native to the area bear little resemblance in look or flavor to the tasteless white pizza topping type.
There are varieties with tastes like amaretto, pepper, shrimp and jalapeños, and one prized gourmet variety, the matsutake, that smells of Red Hots and, um, sweat socks.
One very popular variety that produces its largest specimens in Northern California, chanterelles, have a golden color and are sometimes mistaken for flowers. They smell like peaches.
My wife Lynn had joined me in the class this year because she couldn't understand why I wasn't a better mushroom hunter after taking the class once in 2007.
Now it makes sense, Lynn told me this week. There's just a lot to learn to know exactly what to look for, what to avoid, and when and where to look.
Since there are several varieties of mushrooms that can cause irreversible liver damage and even death, Burch doesn't apologize for the overload of detailed information offered in his class.
"You're not going to learn it all in three hours and a day out in the forest," he told his class this year. "There's way too much to try to learn. So my challenge is for you to learn at least one variety this time, to be comfortable with it. And I see lots of people come back when I do this class the next year."
If you don't know what you're doing, I learned, a discrepancy in one fine detail between two otherwise identical mushrooms can be the difference between delicious and deadly. A guidebook will help, but you have to understand its terminology. There's no easy way for the novice to remember, for example, the distinction between "close, adnate" gills and "crowded, adnex" gills.
Fortunately, as long as you know what you're looking for, most edible mushrooms in our region stand out distinctively from the rest of the pack. One handy rule of thumb for the beginner is to steer clear of any "LBMs" — Little Brown Mushrooms — as few of them are edible and some are quite poisonous.
On this year's hunt, I didn't want to bother with the LBMs, even though Burch encouraged us to collect every variety we found so we could discuss them later and a get a sense of what we should ignore in the future. I remembered from my last class hunt that it's very easy to spend your whole time picking LBMs and very disappointing to bring home an empty basket because nothing you found was worth keeping.
Lynn and I started on the steep hillside where all the Douglas firs were growing, a good place to look for chanterelles, but a tough place to maintain your balance.
The hillside was crowded with students eager to find chanterelles, and Lynn and I had gotten cornered in a very steep area, so we decided to go back down to the road and look for other varieties on the other side, flatter land beside a creek.
The wisdom of this decision was confirmed on the way down as I fell and slid 10 feet, dragging a lot of duff and underlying dirt down with me. I could see that thick clumps of a white cobweb-like material had been torn free in the slide, which was another good reason to get my clumsy body off the hill and stop tearing up its delicate life.
This white material that was exposed in my fall is mycelium, the mushroom's secret identity. Mushrooms are all members of the fungus kingdom, a vast class of life entirely distinct from plants and animals, but surprisingly with more similarities to the latter. Many fungi, for example, breathe oxygen, like humans.
Mushrooms are merely the reproductive fruit, like apples bearing seeds, that spring from mycelium, the main body of the fungus, which lives unseen year-round below the surface of the duff, dirt, or wood where mushrooms only occasionally appear. Hidden inside mushrooms are hundreds of thousands of hardy, microscopic spores that spread on the wind over vast areas to ensure that at least a few will land on the right environment for a finicky fungal species to grow a new unseen mycelial net.
Some varieties, like the fir-loving chanterelle, prefer to grow under conifers, while others prefer hardwoods or grass, and this was another good reason for Lynn and I to try the flat land beside the creek — hardwoods prevailed, giving us a chance to look for something different.
Here the challenge was trying to navigate through mud, dense brush and thorny vines. But this is the only way to find the good stuff, Burch told us. If you stick to the trails, he said, you'll only see the places everyone else has seen.
"That's the great thing about mushroom hunting. You're not on a trail. You get to know a section of land like the back of your hand," he said.
Indeed, as a newcomer to the area two years ago, nothing has helped me learn the land better than mushrooming. It's not just a matter of going off the trail (something that should be done with care and preferably a GPS, so you don't get lost). It's a matter of learning to look carefully at the land, to recognize what kind of bush or tree you're looking at, and therefore what kinds of mushrooms, edible and poisonous, are likely to grow on or near it.
Training the eyes
As Lynn and I worked our way through the brush, we took time to stop and carefully study the ground. With the exception of a few brightly colored varieties, mushrooms have a knack for blending into their backgrounds, and experienced hunters have told me that it can take time and experience to train the eyes and brain to distinguish mushrooms even when you're looking right at them.
To the untrained eye, a patch of mushrooms easily can be mistaken for dead leaves. When hunting for morels, a popular spring mushroom, Burch told us to look for pine cones, a look-alike the brain is already trained to recognize.
So Lynn and I took our time, looking slowly at the ground, stooping down and craning our necks to see under low brush where mushrooms like to hide.
We found many varieties of colorful but probably inedible mushrooms and far too many LBMs, which by this time we had surrendered ourselves to collecting.
One pleasing find growing on a log was a little bit of the translucent white, edible oyster mushroom, although it seemed puny compared to the beefy oyster a coworker gave to Lynn last year.
Boletes, another variety with edible species, were easy to recognize by the porous, spongy undersides of their caps. We collected several more than three boletes in the hope that they would be keepers.
Eventually we ran into Burch, who was returning from his own search along the creek area because our hour of hunting was up. Burch whistled loudly up and down the canyon for everyone to return to the road, and students began gathering, opening their baskets and laying out their finds on the sheets of waxed paper they'd wrapped them in.
Each collection had a few unique varieties. The chanterelle haul wasn't great, but one student found a clump of what looked like tiny icicles — an edible variety known as Bear's Head. Another student brought back a large specimen of chicken of the woods, a tough, leathery orange clump of a thing that is only edible in perfect condition.
For the next hour, the whole class listened as Burch picked up each type of mushroom we found, identified it, told us whether it was edible or poisonous, and then told us whether our edibles were in good enough shape to keep.
This part was always a bit discouraging. Most mushrooms are not edible, and even those that are must be found sufficiently abundant and fresh to be worth taking home. Rain, slugs, maggots and bacteria all conspire to quickly degrade fresh mushrooms.
Lynn's and my haul did not fare well under Burch's examination. Our honey mushrooms were rotted, and not worth the trouble even if they were fresh, he said. The pitiful amount of oyster we found wasn't worth keeping either. Our boletes, with their green and red stems, were of the bitter, inedible variety and also past their prime.
Our only triumph was a modest amount of limp, black trumpet-shaped mushrooms that appeared in front of my face when I fell on the hillside: black chanterelles, a rarer cousin of the yellow variety, and the finest tasting of all chanterelles. Black chanterelles can be hard to find because they blend in so well with their background, so a serendipitous fall can come in handy.
After the hunt, Lynn and I drove back to Crescent City, where the class gathered in a kitchen at the Senior Center to learn how to sauté wild mushrooms and give them a taste. We sampled wild mushroom soup and sautéd chanterelles, king boletes, lobster mushrooms and morels. At the tasting in my 2007 class, I liked the morels best because they soaked up the flavor of garlic and butter so nicely. This year, I was most impressed by the meaty, steak flavor of the boletes.
The most important lesson, Burch taught us, is to be absolutely certain before we eat any mushroom, and the best way to do that is to consult an expert. In addition to his class, other resources available in the area are mushrooms clubs and mushroom fairs.
The Del Norte County Mushroom Club was formed just this year, and can be contacted through its founder, Jaime Yarbrough of Smith River, at 415-492-8408.
An older mushroom club, the Humboldt Bay Mycological Society, is putting on a mushroom fair in Eureka on Sunday. Freshly collected samples of wild mushrooms, edible and poisonous, will be on display and there will be cooking lessons and other demonstration for fungophiles. Admission to the fair is $2 and runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds.
For information about Bob Burch's Mushroom Identification class, call College of the Redwoods-Del Norte at 707-465-2300. The class tends to fill up quickly, so it's a good idea to sign up early in the fall. This year's registration fee was $30.
In Curry County, Southwestern Oregon Community College also schedules mushroom identification classes. For information on classes, call the Brookings campus at 541-469-5017, or in Gold Beach at 541-247-2741.

Later that night, Casey had left Shiloh's house, saying he had to go home. But sure enough, his car pulled up into the boy's driveway the next morning to give the pinky a ride to school. The whole way there though, he couldn't help thinking about that sweet morning they spent together and the kiss they shared at the park. The scenes just replayed in his head over and over again, and every time, his stomach felt fluttery. As he sat there in Shiloh's driveway, waiting for him to come out, he just let his head fall back on the headrest of his seat and smiled warmly. Even though the chill of autumn slowly crept into the car and through his thin sweater, those memories just made him feel oh so warm.
The pinky soon came out of his house and ran up to the car; his thick pink hair bouncing with his steps as he got in and sat beside Casey in the passenger's seat.
"Hi Casey~ How're you?" Shi asked with his lips curled into a sweet smile as he buckled himself in and pulled his hands into his bunny hoodie's sleeves. The boy's nose and cheeks were awfully pink today and his little sniffles gave away that he was getting sick. Ever since he was a little boy his Auntie always was fussing over the layers of clothes he wore and all that he ate since he'd grown up with such an awful immune system and got sick so often.
"Tired." he replied, looking over to Shiloh. Once Casey caught a glimpse of the boy though, he saw how rosy his nose and cheeks were. "You alright? You look kinda sick." he asked, hand resting on the steering wheel.
"Huh? O-oh um.. I'm fine." Shi responded with a little smile. "Do I look bad or something?" He asked, missing the point.
Casey was about to reply, but then he was hit with the feeling of deja vu. Instead of answering Shiloh's question, he affectionately pushed Shiloh's bangs out of the way and pressed his palm against the boy's forehead, just as Shiloh did to him the night after the party. "Maybe you should stay home today..."
A pitiful little look took over the boy's face as he pursed his little lips into a pout. "But I wanna be with you though.." He whined, lifting his arms to pull the whore's hand down to his lips as he just looked over to him. He looked tired and his argument was a lost cause.
"Well, I'll stay here with you then. I don't really want to go to school today anyway." The raven offered, smiling sweetly.
He gently touched Shiloh's plump cheek before taking his hand back and turning off the car engine.
"Oh! Okay." Shi peeped before going to get out of the car and rushing over to Casey's side door, shivering out in the chilled air. He was thinking of all the things that they could do all day together: maybe watch movies on the couch, or maybe they could just cuddle and stuff.~
Shiloh's reaction made Casey smile. He too got out of the car and put his warm arm around Shiloh, pulling him closer. "I'm tired." he whined, beginning to walk with him up to the house.
"Do you wanna watch a movie with me?" Shi asked once the walked back inside.
The house was warm as usual and oh so very clean since the pinky was a compulsive cleaner it seemed.
Casey actually kind of liked the sound of curling up on the couch and watching a movie. He looked down to the pink haired boy and smiled a little more. "Yeah, sure. What movie?"
Shiloh wandered into the lounge and jumped up on the couch, peeling off his jacket before curling up against the armrest. "Mmm..How about SpiderMan?"
Of course, Casey followed and sat down right next to his Shiloh. "Ok." he replied rather plainly. He was probably just going to fall asleep on Shiloh's shoulder anyway, so the movie didn't matter much to him.
Once Shiloh toyed with the remote and turned on the movie, he then switched his weight and leaned against Casey; looking up to him with sweet but tired eyes as he wrapped his arms around Casey's middle. "Thanks for staying home with me by the way, I like being with you a lot."
"No problem. I like being with you too." Casey admitted, looking down to the boy attached to his waist. After a second of looking down at him though, the teen pushed Shiloh's bangs out of the way again, only this time he softly kissed the boy's forehead. He then sat up a little, but went to kiss the tip of the boy's rosy nose before pulling away all the way.
The affection and kisses just made the boy smile and cling to his crush. The movie was all really just on for background sound as they cuddled and exchanged words.
"Casey I like you, do you like me too?" He asked, though the answer was more than obvious. He just wanted to hear Casey say yes or kiss him again.
"Of course I like you. I wouldn't have kissed you if I didn't like you." he chuckled. Though, that last sentence wasn't true. Casey had kissed a lot of boys he didn't like, or even know. But he would never tell Shiloh that. Not in a million years.
To confirm what he said to Shiloh, he placed yet another light kiss on the boy's little cheek.
The answer made the boy smile even more so as he sat up a little to plant a little kiss on Casey's jaw. It was the closest he could get without fully sitting up. "Me neither." He giggled before falling back into his lap.
The little kiss on his jaw made him giggle. "Let me lay down. I'm tired." He whined again, only this time with a smile on his face.
"Nooo, only if you cuddle me." Shi whined back, mocking him with a cheeky grin.
Casey combed the boy's hair back with his fingers. "Of course. How could I just leave you sitting there?"
After a few minutes of cuddling, the boys eventually fell asleep and the clock soon struck twelve. The sound of an engine purred from outside the house and the sound of a car door slammed. Shiloh was lying on the outer side of the couch and was ever so slowly sliding over the edge; He'd fall if it weren't for his arms wrapped inside Casey's sweater and around his middle.
The front door was opened by a somewhat overweight woman with light rustic brown hair decorated with a few grey strands wrapped up in a bun. She walked inside with a sigh as she hung up her long raincoat on the coat hanger that stood by the front door. The scent of peach perfume filled the air of each room that she entered.
Annie had just gotten back from Sicily, her flight had been delayed a week earlier and she'd been trying to get home since. She absolutely hated leaving her precious little god son home alone for so much time. To her knowledge, Shiloh didn't even have any friends- and oh id she have quite the surprise waiting for her in the lounge.
As Shiloh's aunt entered the house, Casey continued to sleep on the couch with Shiloh pressed into his chest. The title screen music of the movie they were watching played on loop as they slept, since they fell asleep before it was over, and now it was merely the background noise of Casey's dream.
The sound of dramatic movie menu music made the woman roll her eyes as she strolled into the lounge room. Shiloh was notorious for leaving the tv or really any electronic on, whether he was using it or not. The heels of her pumps clacked against the wooden floor before she came to a stop and stared at the display.
She wasn't sure whether or not to be concerned or content really. Concerned of who the hell that older boy was and what their relationship was, or happy that Shiloh made a friend.
"Shiloh hunny? Are you awake?" She eventually asked as she walked over and nudged his shoulder.
The woman's voice alone was enough to wake Casey up, but he opened his eyes and looked up when he felt Shiloh move from Annie's nudge. "Huh?" he muttered, looking up at the woman for a second before he made the connection. Once he realized that this was Shiloh's guardian though, he froze in utter terror. "Uh..."
The woman switched her gaze over to Casey and rose a thin plucked brow and straightened her posture, looking down to him as she sought out words.
"Who might you be? Are you one of Shiloh's friends?" She asked, coming off a little demanding since her god son had his arms wrapped around Casey and the view could be interpreted as many things.
Casey's instincts were telling him to run, but he knew that wouldn't help the situation at all. "Yeah... we're friends." he replied, trying to sound as confident as possible. Though, that was the truth after all. Casey and Shiloh were technically just friends.
Friends that had kissed before and friends that liked each other, but still just friends.
