Skip to comments.Nine people shot in 3 downtown (Indy) shootings
Posted on 07/17/2010 10:47:31 PM PDT by bagadonutz
Indianapolis - As many as nine people have been shot in three separate incidents downtown.
The first shooting occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m. Saturday on Maryland Street near Illinois. Numerous shots were reported near the intersection, outside Circle Centre Mall. Police scanner traffic indicated a potential suspect running on Maryland Street after the shooting. Five people were wounded in the shooting and police have a person in custody.
Minutes later, another shooting was reported over police radio at Georgia and Meridian Streets. Metro Police Lt. Jeff Duhamell said three people were shot in the second shooting.
According to radio traffic, the shooting victims include a 16-year-old who was shot in the buttocks, an 18-year-old shot in the lower leg and a 10-year-old who was shot in the thigh. All victims were transported to area hospitals, two in serious but stable condition. Lt. Duhamell said none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.
"We've had minor problems, but tonight is just a very unfortunate situation. You're talking thousands and thousands of people down here and just two or three people cause all this problem," Lt. Duhamell said. "Things were going real smooth, then the unfortunate situation happened."

Expo president statement
Indiana Black Expo President and CEO Tanya Bell released the following statement late Saturday night:
"As our community celebrates 40 years of having one of the largest African-American events in the country, we are saddened by the reported incidents that occurred downtown this evening. Fortunately, none of the incidents resulted in life threatening injuries. We are still waiting to hear if the incidents were related and who was involved.
Nascar fans ? No
Motorcyle clubs? No
Thug culture taks over the Summer Celebration at the Indiana Black Expo.
Damn Tea Partiers...
This happened at an event called "Black Expo?" Sorry, but I'm past feigning surprise at this kind of news.
Do I even need to ask:
In the vicinity of Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd?.....
Well...well...well. I was sure that it was another one of those violence-prone Country music or Southern Gospel concert events when I first saw the headline. /s * 10e6
Just wait until Indiana's liberals get a hold of this. Say goodbye to gun rights in the hoosier state.
This is why Atlanta go rid of "Freaknik" or whatever that was...
Yep or a racist Tea Party.
Seriously, it's very sad when children are shot, but people need to take responsiblity and stop blaming innocent others.
I was one of about 5 crackers in an audience of 10,000 Blacks at the I think first Black Expo in Chicago in 1971. One of the greatest concerts I ever attended: Quincy Jones, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, and Aretha Franklin
1971 was a life time ago. Of course, depending on the city and the event, I don't mind being vastly out numbered because I can always get along with everyone unless they're absolutely looking for trouble and I don't put myself into those situations.
Those were REAL musicians.
Black culture no longer produces real musicians. They just produce thugs who bounce up and down while reciting profantiy and making weird gestures with their fingers when they're not using them to hitch up their pants.
It was the fifth paragraph before it was mentioned at Black Expo.
WTH is Black Expo, anyway? Just a thug-a-thon orgy of blacks wilding in the streets for a couple days and nights? What are they celebrating? Being black thugs?
Don't know,, but I think there should be a White Expo,,,, see what happens.
Move "BLACK EXPO" to Chicago, it will fit right in.
Follow-up article says there was another shooting after these and one more "victim".
Are you sure this wasn't a Future Farmers of America convention?? / sarc.
"Well, we have to throw it back out there, we have to throw it, we have to say it is our kids, you know, the police department did their jobs tonight," said minister Norvel Terry. "Our kids, they have just lost their minds. Let's keep it real."
"Your kids are coming out here with these guns, they are coming to downtown Indianapolis, shooting up the city like it is the OK Corral and if you think that is right and you are blaming the police for what the police [are] doing, something is not right," Terry said. "It starts with the young kids. Everybody wants to blame the police. It ain't the police, it is the kids."
"Fortunately, none of the incidents resulted in life threatening injuries."
Yeah, I bet the families are all thinking how fortunate they are right now.
In a sane world, race would be a question on Form 4473.
To an alien arriving on this planet and observing things, it would appear that blacks cannot control themselves.
The only time I ever had to draw my concealed carry piece was on a business trip to Indianapolis.
Jungle Boogie——
NAALCP has its priorities totally screwed up. Instead of ginning up some contrived accusations of non-existant Tea Party racism they ignore that black on black violence and thug culture of kids are the actual REAL dangers they face.
Indiana Black Expo's Summer Celebration
Isn't our colorblind society great!?
In America's cauldron of mixes of heritage and racial backgrounds I can think of none that celebrate based on color. There is no "Yellow" Expo for the Chinese, no "Red" Expo for the American Indian descendants, not even a "White" expo for those of the Caucasian race. Do the olive-toned Greeks have an "Olive American" festival?
Sure, we have our festivals, holidays, celebrations that might be mindful to heritage...such as Chinese New Years, and St. Patrick's day, that the Irish (and those who wish they were Irish, LOL)celebrate, but the day has nothing to do with excluding any race such as a "Black" expo does.
There is the Black Caucus in Congress, a Miss Black America Contest (no whiteys allowed to compete, of course) the NAACP - which seems to only represent Black interests anymore and not people of all colors, and even Black Businessmens' clubs. So, just who are the racists?????
When these organizations become equally populated by people of all races, and remove the word "Black" from their names, then our country can move forward and the constant reminder of racism, and the hatred it spawns, will fade. Not until then, and anyone living today should not hold their breath.
And, I don't lump all Blacks into the category of African-Americans either. A large part of the Black population never had one relative with a foot in Africa. Many were from islands or other locations.
I suspect those white hillbillies from Martinsville.
none of these cretins had CCWs, I would bet my retirement IRAs on it....oh wait, zer0 is in the process of destroying those now, too...nevermind...
Lock and Load...Μολὼν λαβέ
I went to a gang fight and a Black Expo broke out.
You sure it wasn't Amish Expo? There is a huge Amish community in northeastern Indiana, you know.
"They just produce thugs who bounce up and down while reciting profantiy and making weird gestures with their fingers when theyre not using them to hitch up their pants."
Like Eminem and Kid Rock?
This has been brewing for several years with this annual Black Expo thing in Indy. It's been a thugfest for a while. A couple years ago the attendees were just parking their cars anywhere, double parked, no parking zones, in front of fire hydrants, etc., and when they got parking tickets they started screaming "racism" to the high hills for being treated just like everyone else.
About 15 years ago, another major incident happened during the Indiana Black Expo. A mini-riot broke out on 38th Street at Illinois Ave. Businesses were looted and innocent people beaten. The police quickly cordoned off the area and riot was stopped within an hour. The overhead shots from news helicopters resembled the riots in LA.
This riot was started by the Black Panthers (or another black radical group) Why?? They were upset that the Black Expo was having a positive impact in the black community and the entire city. They wanted it stopped. A rep of this group was interviewed. He was grinning ear to ear and gleeful and proud that the riot happened. What did the Black Expo do?? Nothing. They have not prevented other black groups, even ones with bad reputations, from coming to and even associating with the Black Expo. Race comes first it seems and everything else does not really matter.
I don't know what happened last night. Was it gang related? I would not be surpriced. Also, the "gangsta" rap music glorifies violence like this. But sadly, the Black Expo has alot of responsibility in not distancing itself from extreme radical groups but rather stay affiliated with them. Black Expo's silence over the years has condoned this behavior.
Indiana Black Expo President and CEO Tanya Bell released the following statement late Saturday night: "As our community celebrates 40 years of having one of the largest African-American events in the country, we are saddened by the reported incidents that occurred downtown this evening. Fortunately, none of the incidents resulted in life threatening injuries. We are still waiting to hear if the incidents were related and who was involved."
I grew up in Indy, spent most of my life there. Black Expo seems to go on all year anymore, with small events. This summer celebration is a nightmare............well during theday its crowded but respectful.
After dark downtown is unreal, every gang banger and thug from across the midwest shows up and there is always trouble. I have seen groups of blacks mostly teens and 20's block streets, 4 and 5 lanes of traffic daring you to drive through. The cops are simply overwhelmed.
Black Expo during the day no problem, after dark call out the Guard!
It's not just "the kids." It's the parents . . and the culture . . .and the corrupt racist politicians who nurture and crave the Power of Plantation Politics
No. There's a big problem. No way would they allow a White Expo anywhere in this country. The double standard is wrong.
My post was not about the "fairness" of having either a black or white expo.....I think both are wrong.
My point after having lived in the area for 37 of the Expos 40 years of existence, was related to the degree of behavior during daylight hours versus night.
I hope that clears up my position for you.
Chicago report:
5 dead (one cop included), 20 wounded and weekend not over...
the shooting victims include a 16-year-old who was shot in the buttocks, an 18-year-old shot in the lower leg and a 10-year-old who was shot in the thigh.
Bush's fault!
No tea bags sighted.
I know of many Asian festivals on the US West Coast but I have yet to hear of any that resulted in violence like this.
I personally think there is something wrong with black culture nowadays. I remember about a decade ago there used to be a hip-hop nightclub in Old Sacramento but too many incidents of violence outside the club (and the inability of the club management to stop that violence) resulted in that club's closing, much to the relief of other retailers in Old Sacramento and the Sacramento City Police!
Man, Saturday night is the scariest night of the week
'Cause dat's the night that muh sweetie and I like to practice our mating technique
Now we hear shots outside the door
And da bote of us hit the floor
Bro, Saturday night is one scariest night of the week
It is on the form - question #8.
GCA68 and most subsequent gun control bills were intended to address the recent phenomenon of "urban crime," not penalize the vast majority of law-abiding (white) gun owners. The purported goal has always been to keep minorities from shooting each other.
But as it turns out, that's a fairly tricky problem to solve - especially if you're afraid of offending the twin rev'rends and removing thugs from the gene pool.
It is. But in a sane world, 4473's would be unnecessary.

Nvidia 780a Chipset Preview
Asus Crosshair II Board & Specs
Published: 9th May 2008 | Source: Nvidia | Price: N/A |
Asus Crosshair II
The board we will be conducting our preliminary tests with is the Asus Crosshair II. While this is not a full review of the board (full in-depth review to come later) it should be enough to give us a little insight into the new offering from NVIDIA.
The mainboard is part of the ROG (Republic Of Gamers) series and as such represents the high end release from Asus. The traditional white and blue slots on a black PCB are carried over from other ROG boards and as you can see the 780a chip immediately below the CPU socket has a large heatsink which is possibly an indication of the heat output of Nvidia's MCP. With 3 PCIe 16x ports it is clear that this board is aimed squarely at gamers who wish to make use of SLI configurations. What is interesting is the heatsink covering the mosfet area. Rather than surround the CPU socket with restrictive copper sinks Asus have crammed them all to one side providing a cleaner socket area for those who wish to use larger CPU heatsinks. A key feature of the Crosshair II is the implementation of 10 (8 for the CPU, 2 for the memory and HT controller) phase power regulation which should provide a more stable power delivery and filtering setup.
Sound is delivered using a riser card, the SupremeFX II which is now commonplace among the ROG range of motherboards and while not exactly on par with Asus's own Xonar cards or indeed Creative's X-FI it its more than adequate should you not have or desire to use your own audio card.
Contents are as per usual Asus standards, providing everything needed to get you up and running in no time at all. The LCD Poster (above right) is a handy little gadget that allows you to troubleshoot booting problems should they occur.

Some of the chipsets with onboard GPU's out now are really worth looking at when you consider HTPC's
Full HD output ftw tbh Quote
I was socked about the onboard VGA actually being able to run games let alone be playable.Quote
Looks like a nice board.Quote
Tis a very nice board, I just wish we could have exploited it more....but that comes later.Quote
good to see asus havent abandoned AMD, and neither has Nvidia, back in the day they made some good boards, like mine, the A8N sli-premium
Asus board
Nforce 4 chipset
AMD processor
tis the shizz
good to see we're building back upto that
amd processors were never really good overclockers anyway, you were lucky if you got 500MHz out of your athlon 64 series....Quote
I do hope AMD can get back inline with Intel as the support is evidently still there for enthusiasts with chipsets/motherboards like this.Quote

This new 780a chip looks packed with features, great (pre)review. The layout of the asus board looks spot on aswell.Quote
1. The Price!
2. Current AMD processors.
Why pay £140+ for a motherboard that uses current AMD processors? When you could spend £140+ on an X48 board and get an Intel processor that is better than current AMDs. Who would buy a £140+ motherboard just for the onboard graphics and hybrid SLI when they would be combined with an AMD processor?Quote
Spot on, cept DFI Lanparty SLI-DR, X2, 3gig DDR500
Asus board
Nforce 4 chipset
AMD processor
tis the shizz
Im glad there will be another reiview on this board though. To really put it through its paces you need to test the tri-SLI capability, Quad-SLI, and have a Phenom 9850X4 BE. Also testing hybrid SLI to see how well that works and to see if there really is a dip in performance with it enabled.
For a (not so) little preview i thought this was great. Keep up the good work! And sorry ima bit late. This is the board im looking at getting in the near future so i wanna see the OC3D seal of approval before i decide on heading to Intel. (Which is going to be exspensive for me, QX9650, DDR3, 790i, ect)Quote

Tea Obreht: My Family and Other Characters
By Rebecca Thurlow
Téa Obreht is worried. The 25-year-old's debut novel, "The Tiger's Wife," was published in March to rave reviews and short-listed for the Orange Prize for fiction. She was also selected by the New Yorker magazine as one of the top 20 U.S. authors under 40.

"I now get to do what I love and that is insane to me. There's this superstition in the Balkans that if you are happy, something is going to get you," says the writer, who was born in the former Yugoslavia.
Ms. Obreht spoke on the sidelines of the Sydney Writers Festival last month at the revitalized wharf precinct at Walsh Bay, where about 400 authors appeared for an audience of around 80,000. The 2010 Man Booker Prize winner, Howard Jacobson, was there, as was food and travel writer Anthony Bourdain.
Casually dressed in cream pants and a red corduroy jacket, with a shock of long golden hair, Ms. Obreht approached across the foyer of Sydney Theatre Co, deep in discussion with her publicist about how she might skip an evening engagement because she is exhausted from her book tour and jet-lagged after the long flight from New York.
Ms. Obreht lived in Belgrade with her mother and grandparents until age seven, when the family fled to Cyprus during the Balkans war. They then moved to Egypt where her grandfather, an aviation engineer, found work for himself and Ms. Obreht's mother, an economist. In 1997, when Ms. Obreht was age 12, she migrated with her mother to the U.S. and her grandparents returned to Serbia. The author lives in Ithaca, New York, and says she considers herself an American. Yet Balkan folklore and superstition pervade "The Tiger's Wife" and are also deeply ingrained in Ms. Obreht's family heritage.
"My grandmother used to and still does put open scissors under the bed when I visit her in Serbia," she says. "The blades cut evil as it comes to get you in your sleep."
It was in Cyprus that Ms. Obreht wrote her first story, about a goat, on her mother's laptop. "I took it to her proudly and said 'I want to be a writer now' and I have never turned back."
Her grandfather's death while she was studying creative fiction at Cornell was a catalyst for "The Tiger's Wife," published by Random House.
"We were very close and it was a terrible blow. I had a lot of questions about his death and death in general," she says.
The book's main character, Natalia, is investigating the circumstances of her grandfather's death in the aftermath of war. The mystery of his last days is heavily bound up with two stories. The story of the deathless man is rooted in Slavic and German mythology. He is a fool or braggart who tricks death and is punished with immortality.
The story of the tiger's wife, about a woman who cohabitates with a tiger, comes from Ms. Obreht's imagination.
The book blends the fantastical with contemporary realism, so it's no surprise that her favorite book is "Love in the Time of Cholera" by magic realist master Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or that she adores Mikhail Bulgakov's fanciful Russian satire "The Master and the Margarita."
Prior to her grandfather's death, Ms. Obreht had rejected predictions from writer friends that she would inevitably tap her childhood for inspiration for her first novel.
"Then when he died and I started writing this relationship about a girl and her grandfather, it all happened naturally. It had to be set in the Balkans, the war had to be the backdrop to it, because the character of the grandfather was based on my grandfather and that was the truth, that was real and was the way to attach the narrative to the emotional reality."
"The Tiger's Wife" is set in an unnamed country in the Balkans. Ms. Obreht says she was more interested in how people react to conflict rather than the specifics of the war itself.
"I like the stories about how people survived, the luminous particulars of how people got through everything."
Ms. Obreht says that storytelling permeates the everyday in Balkan culture and is a way of "mythologizing things that are absolutely banal." The book has just been sold in Serbia and Croatia for translation, which she finds especially exciting.
"My grandma is going to get to read it, which is awesome—she doesn't speak any English. So she has never read any of my work and that will be nice," she said.
She says she has an idea for a second novel that she can connect to emotionally as she did with "The Tiger's Wife," but she isn't giving much away, only to say that she isn't turning her attention to the U.S. just yet.
The winner of the Orange prize—awarded for excelence in women's writing—will be announced in the U.K. on June 8.

Interesting--it reminds me of Graham Nelson's essay "The Craft of Adventure," about interactive fiction being a 'crossword at war with a narrative'.Here's what Rust Hills has to say about mystery: "The trouble with
mystery as a structure is that the writer enters into competition with
the reader instead of partnership."
When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely. (Truman Capote)

Quest for MimirOriginally Posted by alsih2o
Water splashed in Jack Lopt's mouth. He spit it out, but the taste of salt remained. He lifted the corner of the litter higher above the waves and shouted encouragement to the other men.
"C'mon! Keep moving, we are almost to shore and we can't let the fire go out before it burns the phylactery. It's our only chance."
The other three sailors, the only crew left of the Skidbladnir, merely grunted and continued wading through the waves carrying their blazing burden. They had all been hired less than two weeks earlier to crew a private craft. A beautiful ship with a strange name, the Skidbladnir. Now, all they wanted to do was to be somewhere safe. Carrying a burning litter, through chest deep water, in the dark, seemed safer than whatever waited for them back aboard the Skidbladnir.
Jack stumbled as another wave hit him in the face and almost lost his grip on the litter. Panic washed over him before he regained his footing. The pack on his back was slowing him down and he considered ditching it. But, if he did that, he would have failed at the job. He never failed at a job, once he took it, his pride would not let him get rid of his burden. Especially when he was so close to his destination. The wound in his side stung from the salt water, but he couldn't ditch that. Gritting his teeth, he plodded forward and tried to remember what his life had been like nine days ago.
Jack had been sitting in his office when he noticed the silhouette at the door. The person stopped to read the name on the door. Low Key Art Brokerage. Jack heard a low laugh before the door opened and a large man, with a floppy-brimmed hat, walked in. The man stepped forward, took off his hat and smiled at Jack. "Good day, Mr. Lopt." The hairs on the back of Jack's neck prickled upward. He immediately felt some sort of tie and familiarity with this man, though he was sure he had never seen him before. Jack stopped to greet the stranger. As he did so his hand casually brushed across the small bag of eight runestones he kept in his pocket while mouthing their names. He commanded a little magic and it seemed smart to call it forth now.
The man stood there, waiting for Jack to walk around his desk. Jack couldn't shake the impression that the stranger knew the runes as well. Something black fluttered at the window and Jacked turned quickly to look at it. If this were a trap No, it was just a large black bird landing on the sill. A crow? No, this bird was larger, a raven. The raven looked back at Jack before the stranger spoke again.
"Mr. Lopt, I have a business proposition for you. Are you interested?"
Jack blinked and turned his attention from the raven to the man inside his office. He now noticed that the man had one clouded eye. Jack smiled and held out his hand.
"Of course I am interested. Why don't you have a seat and tell me about it Mr. "
"Call me Mr. Godan for now. Let us dispense with the formalities. I know that you arrange for the transfer of ownership of certain pieces of art, whether the current owner wishes to part with them or not. Some time ago a piece was taken from me, and now I want it back. You will obtain it for me."
Jack sat down and tried to look relaxed.
"Assuming that what you say is correct Mr. Godan, What makes you think I will help you reacquire this piece?"
Godan smiled at Lopt. "You will, of course, ask a fee. We could haggle over this fee until you thought you had reached a high enough number, then you would agree. But, we will not do that."
"Do not be so sure Mr. Godan." Jack leaned forward to say more before he was cut off by a gesture from Godan.
"You will agree. You will agree for three reasons." Reaching into his hat, Godan pulled forth a rolled up skin of some sort. Jack avoided commenting on the trick. He had a pack with an extra-dimensional space himself and it was hardly an impressive magic trick. Godan unrolled the skin on the desk between the two of them. It was a large, beautiful otter skin. Without meaning to, Jack gently ran his fingers across the pelt. A small surge of energy coursed through his fingertips. Godan leaned forward an in a low voice muttered, "Yes, very good, you feel a tug to this skin don't you? Very good indeed." Jack pulled his fingers away rapidly, but his denials died on his lips. He had felt an attraction to the skin.
Godan continued, "If you are successful, then I will cover this skin with gold. Gold coins, jewelry, bullion, enough to cover the entire skin, including the last whisker. That gold will be your payment. That should light a fire in your soul, shouldn't it?"
Jack leaned back and he did feel a fire. He could imagine the skin covered with gold, almost as the vision of a past life. Greed swelled in his heart and he had a difficult time choking it down. It was a fair price, but if Godan could afford that much, perhaps he could afford a little more. But, Godan wasn't done speaking.
"The second reason is that you are the best there is. Nobody else has the courage, the audacity, to attempt what I ask. The job itself is not hard. Surely, somebody such as you can arrange for it's completion simply. Almost anyone else on this world would simply be too afraid. You will take this job because nobody else will and you will refuse to be lumped together with the lessers in your profession." Godan sat back with a laugh and watched the mixture of emotions play across Jack Lopt's face. Greed and Pride were always effective ways to stir those of Lopt's blood.
Jack sputtered. It was true, that he was the best. His pride would demand nothing less than acceptance of this job. He felt like he was being manipulated and with sudden insight, he realized he was. Godan had offered him more money than anyone else ever would, and he had touched Jack's pride. Either offer alone would have made it difficult to turn down the job, but both offers together made it nearly impossible. Mr. Godan knew what Jack wanted, and he had mentioned a third reason. Reaching down to his pocket, Jack again brushed the runestones he carried. A small wave of cool washed over him as he mouthed their names, pushing back the fire of greed. Then, with a dry throat, he looked at Mr. Godan and asked, "The third reason?"
Godan smiled. The man had regained his composure better than many of Lopt's descendants would. "Ah yes, the third reason is that you only know eight of the secrets. If you wish to know the ninth, you must complete this job, this quest, and bring the item to me before April 30 has passed."
Jack shot forward. "The ninth secret! You know of the ninth secret?"
Godan's voice was loud. "I do not know of the ninth secret, I know the ninth secret!" Then, in a quieter voice, "As will you if you complete this quest."
Godan stood and tossed an envelope onto the otter skin. "Inside is the information of where this item is, and where you must take it. I have already hired men to crew the ship you will travel on. Bring the skin so you may receive your payment." Godan turned to leave.
"Wait! What is this piece of art?" Jack dropped the pretense that he would not accept the job. Godan was right, there were three reasons why he would accept this job, whatever it might be. "How will I know which one I am supposed to bring to you?"
Godan laughed. "You will know Lopt. If you have the courage to try, you will know what it is that you are there to retrieve."
Jack's eyes fell to the otter skin, and the envelope. Perhaps Godan was right. He had until April 30 to complete the job, which gave him nine days. Nine Days, only nine days! "Mr. Godan, April 30 is only nine days away."
Godan opened the door and put his hat on. Looking back to Lopt he smiled gruffly. "Appropriate isn't it?" The door closed, Godan was gone. Jack's hand fell to his pocket. He could feel the eight runestones within. Nine days to learn the ninth secret. A movement from the window caught his eye. By the time he looked, the raven was gone.
A week later, Jack found himself at the top of a skyscraper. It had taken him two days to find out who really owned the apartment at the address Godan had given him. The answer set him in a cold sweat. Queen of the Dead is what they called her on the street. Hel is what the lease papers said. The fact that she could get away with a single name was impressive. All of Jack's contacts were able to confirm that she was a powerful necromancer. The few contacts that Jack called friends told him he was crazy to try to steal anything from Hel. Jack agreed, but the image of a gold covered otter skin burned inside of him. Whiskey helped him keep his mind off of the job as he closed up his business and liquidated his assets. After this job, he would need to disappear. Whiskey helped, but the fire of the gold he would soon have drove him forward.
At the top of the skyscraper, he didn't have any whiskey. He had bribed his way onto a construction job and decided on a mid-day break in. For ten thousand, he had bribed a recent widow to schedule an appointment with Hel asking for her husband to be brought back from beyond the grave. Jack hoped that the lunchtime appointment would keep Hel out of the apartment long enough for him to get in, and out. http://www.enworld.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=15274]Edging along one of the girders, Jack prepared to drop ten stories and break into Hel's apartment suite.[/url] Just before he dropped, he felt the fear fade away. He would be successful because Hel didn't keep much in the way of security. Nobody wanted to cross the Queen of the Dead. Hel knew that, relied upon that. Jack would succeed because he was the only person with the courage and the audacity to try.
It took him ten minutes hanging there to bypass the building security, cut a hole in the window, and slip inside. The interior of the apartment was sparsely furnished. A few chairs, a couch a table. The entire place was painted in black and white. Jack had heard that Hel preferred the two colors, but he wasn't quite ready for the entire apartment to be decorated in this way. Jack slunk through the apartment, looking for any sort of artwork that Mr. Godan would want. There was nothing, nothing at all. Until he reached the bedroom.
Directly across from the bed was the http://www.enworld.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=15270]face of a man nailed to the wall.[/url] It was creepy, the entire room smelled of dried herbs. The walls were white and the bed was black and the only color was from this face, nailed to the wall. For a moment, Jack thought he would be sick. He tried to tell himself that this is not what Godan wanted, but somehow he knew that it was. There certainly weren't many other choices. Jack stood there for a moment before muttering to himself, "What am I supposed to do with this?"
The face spoke. Jack didn't jump more than a foot when it happened.
"Loki's brood does Wodan's bidding,
seeks Mimir's head for wisdom.
pulls from the safe, Lich's cup,
safe against the burning."
Jack looked at the face with morbid curiosity, but it had grown quiet again. Loki's brood? Wodan's bidding? Mimir's head? Wasn't Mimir's head something that Odin kept for wisdom? Is that what this is supposed to be? What in the hell is going on? Hel, he had to be done before Hel returned! Lich's cup. That did sound like something a Queen of the Dead might have. Where was the safe? Jack looked in the closets. Most rich folk kept their safes in the closet. He couldn't find anything. The other cliché place was behind a painting. But, Hel didn't have any paintings, she only had this face on the wall. Jack developed a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Gingerly, he pulled back the face. Sure enough, there was the lock of a safe. For a moment he wished he had some whiskey. Then, he decided he didn't need whiskey. He was Jack Lopt, an expert theif and the only person with enough courage to try to rip-off Hel. He pulled the nails out of the skin and set the face on the bed. After that, it only took a few minutes to open the safe.
Inside, he found a wooden container filled. The top was sealed and when he shook it, it sounded like something inside. The wood was finely carved and Jack entertained the idea that this is what Godan was looking for. The feeling in his stomach didn't change. Looking back at the face, he knew that the container was not what he was looking for. Lich's cup, isn't that what the face said? With a flash of insight, it all made sense. This was a lich's phylactery. Hel would send a lich after him once she discovered the theft. The container went into his magical pack, the pack with the otter skin inside it. Jack turned to leave. He reached the door to the apartment when he remembered the face on the bed. The face fit in the pack too.
He left by the front door and was walking out the lobby when he met her. She was walking in and he almost bumped into her. She looked beautiful, until she turned her head to look at him and he saw the other half of her face. Life and death looked over him. She smiled a terrible smile. "Nice to meet you cousin." She then walked past him and toward the elevator. Jack hurried to a cab. He had a plane to catch to Newfoundland where the Skidbladnir waited.
Hel didn't catch up to him until he was almost to the ship. More accurately, none of her minions caught up with him. Jack was hustling down the beach, and a http://www.enworld.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=15272]man was smiling as he flew his kite[/url]. Jack actually stopped to watch the kite when it detached and flew straight at him, like some sort of living shadow. Jack was frozen for a moment. Not like a living shadow, like an unliving shadow! Panic almost overtook him. Instead his hands dropped to the runestones. Shadows cannot move during the day, yet this shadow was. The man controlling it must be shielding it from the sun, somehow, with magic. Kill the necromancer, and the shadow would be helpless.
Staggering backward, Jack struggled to pull out the pistol he had purchased in case the crew on the ship tried to betray him. He ducked beneath the outstretched limbs of the shadow, rolled forward and began to pull the trigger. It took three shots before he finally hit the man. The man stepped forward, coughed up blood. Jack was watching him when he felt a cold tingling course through his shoulder. The shadow was upon him! The man fell to the ground and dropped a small stone. A runestone! Running forward, Jack lunged for the stone. His fingers closed on it and the shadow stopped. Looking in his hand, he recognized a binding rune among all the other runes. He could control the shadow! Or, he could destroy it. Shifting the rune to his other hand, Jack hefted the pistol. With a smile, he dropped the rune to the sand and shot it. Stone splinters shot in every direction and the shadow screeched before fading away in the sunlight.
The crew of the Skidbladnir was nice enough. They were all foreign men and they clearly loved the ship. They loved it from spars to sails to keel. They showed Jack his quarters and were soon underway. Jack lay down on the small bed and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until dawn the next morning, April 30.
The crew had been paid to sail to a specific set of coordinates. Jack asked the captain where they were going and the captain smiled. Apparently, nowhere. The charts were quite clear, there was nothing at the location Mr. Godan had given them. But, he was paying well enough that the crews weren't asking questions. They liked the ship, they liked the pay, what better way to live than to sail?
The storm came up just before dark. Jack had been growing increasingly nervous that the Skidbladnir would not make it to their destination before midnight. He was pacing the deck when the rain started. It was moments later when something dark, and evil, swooped down out of the night. It was a skeletal dragon and Jack found himself thinking the name Fafnir. The dragon flew through the rigging, pulling sailors with it. Their screams were lost in the wind and rain. Then, there was a grinding noise as the hull grated over something hard. Jack was thrown forward onto the deck and heard more screams of dying men as the dragon flew back.
The captain was there, helping Jack to his feet. They had reached the coordinates that Godan had given them! The captain was screaming about how Godan had doomed them all to death by sending a dracolich after them. Dracolich? Jack tried to get the captain's attention as the dracolich circled around once more. It dove for the two men and Jack jumped back, trying to get out of the way. He almost made it. A claw pierced his side, the utter cold of the dracolich's touch seemed to drain him of vitality and life. Jack pushed himself back toward the cabin. Reaching into his pouch, he felt the otter fur. Warmth flowed into him. The warmth of greed for gold. Then the memory of the wooden container reached him. What did the Mimir say? "Pulls from the safe, Lich's cup, safe against the burning."
Jack was in his feet and in the cabin. It was the wrong cabin, it was the captain's cabin. He could see a small palanquin. He brushed everything out of it and set the container inside. Calling on fehu's power, he soon had a fire. Water lapped at his feet. The ship was sinking.
Jack gathtered the remaining crew together. They had to give the fire time to burn the phylactery so the dracolich would die. The four men jumped into the water, carrying the palanquin and heading for the beach. In the distance, Jack could see a silhouette on the beach. A man with a floppy-brimmed hat.
Blood was oozing from his side as he struggled forward. Words came to his mind. Godan, Wodan, Odin. Low Key, Loki, Lopt. The phylactery burned out, the dracolich disappeared. Jack Lopt fell to the beach at Odins feet and the world passed into darkness. Before his eyes burned a ninth rune. He reached for it, screamed.
Jack woke in a golden field. In the distance, he could see an immene rainbow. A one-eyed man sat nearby, two ravens at his shoulder. He was talking to something in his hand. Jack sat up. Odin looked at him.
"Greeting's Loki, it is good to see you awake. Thanks to you for bringing my Mimir back to me. Now, we shall sip from the mead, as we always have."

Ack! Ran out of time. I see I biffed three of the links. I also see two errors in word usage or spelling. Ah well. The time limit killed me as my muse didn't have a good story for quite a while. Still, I hope it is an interesting story. I borrowed and bent some mythology.
In a while, maybe I can read Carpe David's yarn and see what I think.
Oh, and congratulations to Berandor! Great story.

OK, I see what happened with the links. Wordwrap created some extra spacing. URL linking hates extra spaces. Here are the three sentences with corrected links, if you have trouble reading them.

Can't say I'm suprised. I was sure Berandor had the better story, mine was a hodge-podge of what I could think of to tie things together. Good luck Berandor, it only gets harder from here on out.
The interesting thinga bout the meat bricks is that, as we discussed in the other thread, both Berandor and I tried to turn then into something besides bricks. He wanted them to be bread at first, but his better sense prevailed.
I also agree that the backwards story isn't worth telling, but it was the only way I could think to tell it.
Thanks a lot to the judges. It was fun.
And the yoke/yolk thing was very intentional.

I really tried to do you justice this time.Originally Posted by clay in round 1
Thank you, Macbeth, for your story again.
I still can't believe I won. And I am already preparing mentally for the next round, because I need to get even better then. Macbeth said he stuggled a little with his story, which was probably my luck.
This is what I had to say on the other thread:
I just want to address one thing that the udges might comment on, if they like to:I'm not nervous for the judging. I'm all right with my story, and while not flawless in any way I think I've done well enough so I won't shed a tear when I lose, just because "it could have been so much better". If that's clear, anyhow.
Mabeth: Guilt
Interesting. I wanted to use the ferries for shipping bread, but couldn't make it work the way I wanted to. It almost seems as if using it for stones is boring
Your story has a greath rhythm to it. There are certain repetitions I don't mind that much, but there are some great ones, too. I especially liked when the protagonist drops "rop the egg, the hope, the yoke", because I was wondering whether the early repetitions would lead to anything - they did
A great twist at the end (beginning?), btw. I really liked that. But what is it with you and insanity? I sure hope writing is an outlet for your compulsions
I'm not really sure whether the judges will agree, but I liked how you strung the pics together. The reason I'm not sure is because they exist in three different stories, so to speak, framed by the single narrative. I like it, though.
Masstransport: I liked what you did here, concentrating more on the general view of the picture and not on the man in the foreground with the silly evil stupid wheely thing (err, I had no problems putting that in - why do you ask?).
"the egg" (or whatever it's name is): This strange pic-in-pic was really hard to use in a "reality" kind of way. I like how you do it, especially with the names of the village and all the people on it, even more so on second reading.
close: first, kudos to Sialia for the great pic! It is very hard to use effectively due to its "sketchy" (for lack of a better term) qualities. I think Macbeth used it well by first including it as a "vision" before giving it a physical representation.
thornysituation: You know, at first I really wanted to use that pic metaphorically. "Love hurts", or something. (ETA: I'd like to nominate this phrase as "most probable phrase to make the reader doubt the skill of the author ) In the end, I kind of did that, but I really, really like your way of putting it into the story. It's really much more of a penance the way you did it. Great use for an admittedly great pic, probably my favorite pic out of our five!
I already said my thing to the meat/bread/boring stone transporting floats; other than what is above, I just think it fits really good into the story, and is really given much more prominence than I could put into.
I hope that's somewhat helpful, of course I'm a little stuck with my ideas and do have a problem of totally disseminating your entry because of that. But I think it is a very good entry worthy of letting you advance, and I can only hope I am able to give you a little run for your money, which might be more than people would have expected beforehand.
The reason for the formatting is that usually in message board posting, you leave out a line to make for easier reading. However, I think it looks weird when I write an extended conversation, and every line stands alone with space above and beneath. I also didn't want to post a whole chunk of conversation and get drilled on my illegible formatting. So I put a space in between every five lines or so.Originally Posted by barsoomcore
How do you want it for the next story? Space after each line, or rather a long paragraph of talking?
Alright, now I am going to fall unconscious from surprise
P.S.: Does somebody know a good way of getting blood off one's hands? I tried everything, but the damn spot won't fade!

When I was in university I fought a one-man war against the post-modernists who kept insisting that the real value of fiction was that it formed a "game". I said then, and maintain still, that the notion of a game is at odds with the notion of artistic vision -- and that attempting to combine the two only weakens both.Originally Posted by mythago
Keep your interactive out of my fiction!

Formula 1 getting boring
With the prospect of another street circuit I feel there is a risk of this happening. The larger ciurcuits built for the job as it were, give far better spectator entertainment on the day. Look at the procesion we had at Monaco two weeks ago. With young up and coming divers, we are begining to see F1 at its best again. Lets not upset this.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think that it would be geat to see a race around monaco with 10 f1 cars and 10 indy cars who would win??

i think indycars work on a longer wheelbase design, not a few cm's, a fair bit so i wud guess the f1 cars as they will be nimbler around a place such as monaco
i think the intresting comparison would be spa where the outright power against car dynamics would be a more intriguing battle of the cars
Getting boring where have you been for the last 10 years, its more exciting watching a skoda go rusty in the rain mate.
Why anyone would spend money on watching or supporting such a boring and hyped up game as F1 is beyond me.
Now Moto GO, they have more action in the first lap than you do all season in F1

I think it has been boring since the rule changes introduced in 1994(tyres/down force/qualifying/refueling)take it back to 1993 rules and there would be vast improvement in f1.

Free Movie Tickets at the Curzon Bloomsbury
Curzon Bloomsbury
London Pass Benefits:
Free movie tickets at Curzon Bloomsbury with a London Pass
Normal Ticket Price: Adult: £11.50 Child: £5.00
The Curzon Bloomsbury, like its well-known namesake, brings art to the masses through its notable line up of art-house and foreign films.
The centre point of the bustling, newly renovated Brunswick Centre in leafy Bloomsbury, the cinema offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of busy central London.
Located close to the University of London and several medical institutions, the Curzon Bloomsbury was the first British undertaking of an American organization wanting to benefit from the large number of college students, doctors and nurses walking nearby. It opened as the Bloomsbury Cinema in 1972 and has serviced movie fans off and on since then.
Today the Curzon Bloomsbury has two screens, both with a capacity of over two hundred seats, and a fully licensed bar, making it a perfect retreat in the heart of central London.
The Curzon Bloomsbury plays regular host to festivals, Sunday screenings and director Q&As, not forgetting the London Socialist Film Cooperative's screenings on the second Sunday of each month.
With your London Pass you are entitled to see a movie at the Curzon Bloomsbury without further payment!
The London Pass offers you entry* without further payment to all regular film screenings Monday – Thursday (except bank holidays) anytime and Friday – Sunday (plus bank holidays) for all regular film screenings starting before 17.00. *Subject to availability and distributor's restrictions.

"My boyfriend and I purchased the London Pass ahead of time to use when we got to London and it was wonderful for public transport, avoiding cues and accessing all the sites without having to fawk out cash or paying per site. This also allowed us to see much more than we normally would have. Because you buy the card at a flat rate you are saving money too! It makes travelling around London a pleasure as a tourist."

Sven's Mistakes
i couldnt agree more. needs to drop lampard hes over rated we need carrick holding gerrard pushing lennon flying and joe dancing needed to give walcott a run yesterday. beckhams marking at set pieces is shocking.i personally think we do too much heavy training, hence all the injurys. sven and maclaren havent got a clue wot we need is big sam allardyceSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree, and the current side will NOT advance much further if Sven continues to be pig-headed. One of Lampard or Gerrard must - unfortunatley - be left out, together they just don't do it. Hargreaves was fine last night, but against the bigger countries i would have real doubts. Is Peter Crouch really the best Plan A available in the squad? As a sub to drag back into a game possibly, but too predictible from the start.
I would start a 4-1-4-1-1 in the knock-out stages.
Robinson; Carragher, Terry, Ferdinand, A.Cole (although i dont think he looks fit yet, he is a better option than Bridge); Carrick; Lennon, Beckham, Gerrard, Downing; Cole; Rooney (then Crouch after 60mins)
(Otherwise, possibly Cole staying left and Jenas "in the hole")
The big problem is Sven didn't try alternative formations enough in the build up!
- 3 Replies to STEPHEN
slight typo - cole was meant to be in brackets on the bench, dont think we would get away with 12 outfield men.
good thing you're not picking then mate... that's 12 players....
All I have to say is Sven IS a mistake

Definition of right-to-work in English:
adjectivechiefly US
Relating to or promoting a worker's right not to be required to join a labor union: Kansas is a right-to-work state
More example sentences
- The right is renewing its efforts to pass state and federal right-to-work laws that prohibit requiring employees in a unionized workplace to pay dues to unions.
- Asked by Matthews whether he supports state right-to-work laws protecting the right of workers not to join a union, Dean said no.
- With an eye to union coffers, organizing poorly paid workers in poultry processing facilities in a right-to-work state surely appears less worthwhile than organizing workers with relatively secure jobs in the public sector.

It's a very difficult thing to review a film when you're romantically involved with the female lead. Brothers has produced for me, such a quandary. While, yes, I'm not strictly dating Natalie Portman and she rarely returns the e-mails that I bounce to every account I can think of (firstname.lastname@example.com /natalieshizzle@yahoo/ georgelucascantwrite firstname.lastname@example.com) she will one day be my future wife, so here lies bias. I even own Where the Heart is and Anywhere But Here on DVD but don't tell anyone.
If for some reason you don't think that God was showing off when he made her then there isn't much else to persuade you to take a punt on Brothers.
The main problem with Brothers is that the story is all a little Pearl Harbour. And as everyone knows, even being a little Pearl Harbour is tantamount to being a little bit infested with cat AIDs.
When good son Sam (Tobey Maguire) goes M.I.A. fighting the beardy people of Afghanistan, it's up to black sheep of the family, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), to look after his wife and kids back home. Considering the wife is played by Natalie Portman, Tommy quickly starts to get rumblings in his trouser departments. As does Natalie, for Jake somewhat resembles a male version of her. In other words, he's hot.
It seems (and is) pretty trite of me to carry on about the good looks of the lead characters but ultimately this is one of the reasons why Brothers doesn't quite work. Jake, Natalie and Tobey are all only a whisker older than me and yet, in this movie, they've got houses and partners and kids and responsibilities.
Not that they can't all play 'ugly' or 'normal'. Jake does in Jarhead, Tobey in Wonder Boys, Natalie in Goya's Ghost to name but a few. But Jim Sheridan (the director of the sublime In America) seems to think he's dealing with actors rather than star/actors. What price a Samantha Morton or Paddy Considine in this? We may be watching a different film.
It has its moments and never feels either over-played or over-long but ultimately it's less than the sum of its parts. Like a sibling you only visit because you have to.

It happens to all of us at one time or another. We push the envelope of training volume, intensity, the combination of the two, or we simply try to jam entirely too much into life. Even if you follow a training plan to manage athletic training and recovery, sometimes you need to break the plan and take a rest day or even a rest week. Most often the culprit is trying to over-pack your waking hours with activity (workouts, overtime at work, family, friends, volunteer time, etc…) which can take its toll.
When you have dug the hole too deep, then you end up ill or injured. If you pay close attention, there are a good number of warning signs that tell you danger is pending and if you heed, perhaps illness, injury and a major break in training can be avoided.
In no particular order, here are some signs you might need a rest week…
When the warning signs appear, take it easy, take the day off or cut all training back for a week. With some rest, you'll soon be back to your old self.
Do you have any warning signs not on the list? Share them below.

USA, 2008, 81 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Documentary, Social IssuesLanguage: English
Thursday, January 22 @ 7pm
Hosted by Lisa Kennedy, Film Critic, The Denver Post
IN PERSON: Director Pete Schuermann
On the afternoon of September 16, 2004, 18-year-old Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr. pledged Chi Psi Fraternity at the University of Colorado. The next morning he was found dead, a victim of an irresponsible hazing ritual involving alcohol. A sad situation, but made even worse because it may have been preventable. Every year, a reported 1,700 college students face the same fate. Another 100,000 are victims of sexual assault as a result of heavy drinking. Haze takes a cold, hard look at these incidents via interviews, and personal and disturbing footage to get to the bottom of one of the most un-checked but widely acknowledged dangers facing today's college youth

BBC: Bulgaria Government to Resign, PM Boiko Borisov Says
By BBC
Bulgaria's government has announced it is resigning after nationwide protests against high electricity prices and austerity, Prime Minister Boiko Borisov has said.
"I will not participate in a government under which police are beating people," Mr Borisov told parliament.
Tens of thousands have protested across Bulgaria, the EU's poorest country, against high electricity bills.
The PM tried to calm the protests on Tuesday by promising to slash prices.
He also pledged to punish foreign-owned power companies that he said charged too much.
Twenty-five people were taken to hospital after protesters clashed with police late on Tuesday.
Correspondents say that many Bulgarians are deeply unhappy over high energy costs, power monopolies, low living standards and corruption.
It was not immediately clear whether or not a parliamentary election scheduled for July would now be brought forward.

On September 26, 2008 the Panama City Police Department received a call from Mary Sue Boles. Ms. Boles is the Program Manager for the Millville Community Redevelopment Agency or C.R.A.. Residents that live in the 100 block of North Church Avenue notified Ms. Boles that someone was dumping used tires on a vacant lot.
The residents observed someone driving a truck that had dumped the tires in the area and they obtained a tag number. The tag number led the Panama City Police Department to William E. Hobson who is 19 years old and lives in Southport, Florida. Hobson after being given his Miranda warning admitted to going to that location several times during the past month or so and dumping the tires.
A second defendant was identified, John Sanders Miller who is 43 years old also from Southport, Florida. Miller also provided a statement after he was read his Miranda rights. Both subjects have been arrested and charged with Felony Littering in excess of 500 pounds. They were both transported to the Bay County Jail to await first appearance.
The residents of Millville along with support from the Millville CRA have been working very hard in their efforts to bring Millville back to its historical beauty. This arrest was made possible because the residents got involved in their neighborhood and watched out for suspicious activity such as this incident. Because of this partnership between the residents of Millville, the Millville CRA and the Panama City Police Department, we were able to conclude this investigation with an arrest and clean up the lot in less than 2 weeks. There were over 200 used tires and metal rims dumped on this property.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the Panama City Police Department at 872-3100 or Crime Stoppers at 785-8477 (TIPS).

By Stephen Pollard
September 4, 2008
Sorry for the absence of posts. I think I might have run before I could walk with my hand - it's been playing up a bit.
I saw two big events yesterday. One was a huge let down, my initial hope being dashed by a performer who did not come close to matching the early promise, and who was let down by a poor script.
The other was close to a total triumph, looking every bit as good as the hopes placed in the person.
I refer - as if you need me to tell you - to the Berlin Philharmonic Prom and the Sarah Palin speech. And in that order.
The BPO's Brahms was plain awful. The perforrmance under Rattle was lethargic and lacking in any sense of drama or pacing, every bar stretched out for supposed beauty of sound - and a sound which did not have any of the wonderful cultured tone which has, for so long, been the BPO's calling card.
I'm not a Rattle basher, as is fashionable. I think he can be wonderful in the BPO's core repertoire. His Bruckner 7 a couple of years ago lives in my memory and will do for ever. But for some reason his Brahms 3 last night was a waste of time.
I had better hopes for the Shostakovich 10 - surely Rattle's forte. I haven't heard the piece for years - I'm guessing a decade. I've two recordings but have let them sit on my shelves. And after last night, I think they'll stay there. My recollection of the piece was of tense, taught undercurrents with explosions of power. Last night, however, I thought it flabby and overwritten, repetitive and plain dull. The explosions of sound and power I remembered came across last night as just loud noise for the sake of it.
A very, very average concert. Hugely disappointing.
As for Mrs Palin: when I say she hit the ball out of the park I'm not referring to her views (she seems to be a wacko when it comes to creationism, for instance) but her performance made a huge bonus out of her supposed negatives, and her lines about Obama were a bull's eye. I think there are good solid reasons to be pleased about an Obama victory (although many more to be fearful), but to call him vacuous doesn't even come close. He has risen on a surfeit of hot air, good feeling, hostility to the ordained HRC, and a brilliant strategic primary campaign. But Palin punctured all that.
Does it mean she is 'qualified' to be VP? Of course not. But it means she is a dynamic political force to be reckoned with. And what is the necessary qualification anyway, other than election by the people, for the people?
(The best analysis I've seen has been this from Clive Crook.)

I've created a filter so I can add an email link per post rather than going in and editing the php. It's a simple function that just replaces '[email-link]' with the return of email_link() function.
Other than that, the plugin is the latest version. When I click on the email link, it gives me a 404. This is both for the popup and the standalone.
And before you suggest it, yes I have re-saved the permalinks several times.

Hi there,
I'm a little bit stuck with Woocommerce at the moment.
I'm trying to decrease the price of all my products by 15%. When I try to do this via the bulk edit tool, it does not work, it changes all the products to drafts and does NOT reduce the prices at all.
All my products are variable products.
If anyone knows how I can go about doing this it would be a huge help.
