Dog Vomiting Brown Substance
Resolved Question:
I woke up dismorning because of a bad horrible smell and found two large puddles of what looked like to be diarehea, because it was brown and sticky looking, but it had chunks of dog food in it that were still round. Then when i opened my bedroom door my dog ran out and vomited a few times. What she vomited smelled rank but it was a lighter color with no food and each time got yellower. My question is what could possibley be wrong if a dog is vomiting a fecal type substance? In the past few days she has been her normal happy self and i cannot think of anything poisoness she got into or anything that happened to her. Although yesterday she didnt get a full serving of food cause i ran out and have 2 other dogs. But ive never encountered such nastyness she has only vomited yellow stomach acid in the past. Right now she seems to be doing much better because she hasn't vomited again. She has drank a lot of water though and earlier didnt want to eat but now she does. She was panting earlier and breathing hard after the vomiting but now she isn't. I still am worried though because of the type of vomit. Im pretty sure it had to be vomit since it had food in it. So if anyone could give me some causes to this, minor to severe. I can't afford a vet right now but i will if i have to. Should i wait and see how she is for a couple days? Also, one last thing. My dog does have a blatter problem in which she gets estergen for to control the muscles. Because of lack of money she hasn't gotten one in a while. Today is the first day ive noticed her "leaking urine." As shes gotten older shes had more control. Could this possibly be a coincidence that she starts leaking and etc and vomiting? Sorry to write so much, i just want to give as much details as i can.

Thanks for the extra details!
Yellow in vomit is usually bile or stomach acids and is pretty normal.
The brown coloration may be more serious as sometimes dark brown almost like coffeegrounds in color vomit indicates a possible bleed into the stomach area and its digested blood you are seeing.
Its possible though that if she was shorted on food yesterday that she filled her stomach with something else such as stool from another dog, dirt, pebbles, or even vegetation any of which could have irritated the stomach lining and triggered vomiting.
It is also possible that the leaking and the vomiting are an indication of a urinary tract infection or a kidney problem.
The water drinking may be due to her thirst from internal bleeding or just to clear her mouth and throat from the bad taste.
If she is not vomiting the water you can try resting her stomach by giving no food or only a bland diet and then talking to your vet tomorrow if she is still sick.
I would suggest trying boiled chicken meat or hamburger with the fat drained off, mixed with really well cooked rice in a ratio of 1/3 meat to 2/3 rice to see if that works. It's not a balanced diet but OK to use for a few meals while working on controlling digestive upset.
If she vomits the water back up, if you see red blood in the vomit or more dark brown stuff then you might want to consider seeing the vet today. If there is no way you can see an emergency vet then you could see if some over the counter meds might help her today so you can keep her comfortable until seeing your vet tomorrow.
An over the counter med you might use would be Pepcid or Tagamet.
Be sure to tell the vet when you see them if you use either of these.
You can read about dose amounts (and cautions) scrolling down on the pages here
Hope this helps you!

Reply to Nancy Holmes's Post: Hello, You mentioned dark coffee ground texture in vomit, but there wasnt. It was brown but not dark brown like old blood. It was like diareaa. It was very smooth and sticky like mucous. No coffee ground texture at all. And then a few mushy dog food pellets. I wouldnt have thought anything of it if i thought it came out the other end. I feel like its my fault. Infact i hope its my fault and not a serious problem.
Dismorning when i found all this, and she left my room and continued to vomit, she only did like 2 times. Then she drank water before i could stop her and about 5 min later threw up the water and it was very mucousy and clear. ( Very hard to clean up )Since then i put her in her carrier to try to give her time and she hadnt vomited again for hours. So i felt it was safe to let her have her water and then a few hours more later she had some food.
she seems to be doing good now except for the leaking. ( which i will get her perscription renewed for ) She still seems a lil tired but not depressed. She hasnt got her old appitite yet but she does have an appitite. If she continues to be fine im wondering if its ok not to go to the vet.
I wonder if this could just be a bad experience and a fluke based on the factors like low food night before. I know shes much better now but ive had a dog in the past die after i thought she was getting better. ( it ended up being a tumor ) So it makes me feel worried inside her something is bad. shes only 3 and shes a german shepard. Ive just never had this happen before and i never knew it was possible so im pretty confused. I mean what would cause this?
replied 10 years ago.
If she was still feeling hungry last night she could have eaten some dog poop or something else that gave her case of gastritis.
As she is doing better, drinking and eating OK and holding food down then I'd say she got rid of whatever it was and now feels better. A snack of a dead toad or earthworm can trigger vomiting like this with bacterial infection too just like food poisoning for us.
I'd say if she is doing better see how she is tomorrow morning and then if she is fine I'd expect all is well.
Dogs will eat lots of things they shouldn't and do vomit very easily afterwards so that might be all this is.
If she had access to a dog stool or cat stools somehow before bed last night that could do this.

Reply to Nancy Holmes's Post: Thank you for your help. A vet appointment would cost so much compared to this. My dog could have gotten some stool to eat because i also have a 5 month old puppy who goes on a puppy pad in a little box during the night. And dismorning there wasnt any stool on it...But ive never seen my dog eat stool ever. But dogs will be dogs. If she continues to have high spirits and good appitite i will take it as it is. But i am prepared to take her to the vet if needed.
The bladder problem is long term resulting from a messed up spaying. At least thats our theory. We got the dog from a rescue place and she was spayed right b4 we got her. For a long time she hasnt "leaked" even tho the medicine has been out of her system for a very long time. We assumed she got better with age because the vet mentioned its possible for her to have better control as she matured. And today now she is leaking again and she peed on the floor after drinking all that water. But she showed no sign of needing to go. It was only after i said "wanna go outside" she ran to the door and peed. i just didnt know if there was a connection between these to incidents. How can you tell if the dog has an infection Vs. just a bladder control problem. Because like i said shes been off the pills so long and now...finally she leaks? This will be my last question lol. Since ur helping me i thought id ask everything on my mind. Thanks so much.
replied 10 years ago.
Glad to be of help. Usually with infection you see frequent urination, perhaps some blood or mucus in the urine, sudden urination like the dog goes as if it didn't know it needed to, and extra drinking too.
But you might wait and see if today was an anomoly due to being ill. Vomiting can cause other sphincter valves to let go same as sneezing can.
See how she is tomorrow and then make decisions on seeing a vet or getting more meds.
There is a percentage of dogs that when the ovaries are gone need the extra estrogen to control incontinence. Its not a huge number but its annoying when its your dog!

Shooting at Youngstown store injures two
YOUNGSTOWN - A shootout inside a South Side Youngstown convenience store on Wednesday afternoon injured two people, including a teenage boy.
Two men were arguing as they entered the Ally Food Store Deli on South Avenue after 1 p.m. Wednesday, and the argument escalated into a shootout, police reports state.
The owner of the store and a teenage boy were hit by gunfire. They were taken to the hospital, but their conditions were not released.
The two shooters took off. Police said they believe they know the identity of one of the shooters, but no one had been arrested as of Wednesday night, according to Tribune Chronicle news partner WYTV 33 News.
County inspections move into McDonald
WARREN - Trumbull County's Building Inspection Department is extending its jurisdiction in McDonald.
An agreement approved Wednesday by county commissioners lets the department perform inspections, approve plans and do enforcement on commercial buildings. The department will keep the permit fees, which are based on the building's value.
The department already handles building-related duties, including residential, in Cortland, Hubbard, Newton Falls and West Farmington. In Yankee Lake, the department handles commercial structures.
Mental Health renewal levy added to ballot
WARREN - A 1-mill, 10-year levy for the Trumbull County Mental Health and Recovery Board will be on the November ballot for renewal.
The levy that funds the agency's operations generates about $3.2 million a year and costs the owner of a $100,000 home about $35 a year. Trumbull County commissioners Wednesday agreed to put the issue before voters.
Explosion call turns out to burned food
WARREN - City firefighters responded to an "explosion" call late Wednesday, but an investigation turned up only smoke from an apparent overcooked dinner.
Radio traffic indicated the initial call of an explosion which set off a fire alarm came just after 9:30 p.m. near the Morgandale Commons building along Plaza Avenue N.E.
However, after an inspection, firefighters on scene said there was no sign of an explosion and the alarm was tripped by smoke from burned food in a nearby apartment complex. The scene was cleared just before 10 p.m.
Wean hosting green businesses expo
WARREN - Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership, or TNP, is sponsoring a Warren-area ''Safe, Clean and Green'' expo Tuesday at the Raymond John Wean Foundation, 147 W. Market St.
The event, running from 1 to 4 p.m., will give residents and government and business officials a chance to speak with 15 exhibitors in Courthouse Square from private, government and sustainability-based organizations and programs that push for a stronger and healthier economy.
The keynote speaker will be Shanelle Smith, director of Emerald Cities Collaborative in Cleveland.

The revised edition of Dr. Taussig's Congenital Malformations of the Heart will replace the first edition as the reference book for those interested in this field of medicine. The book is divided into 2 volumes. Volume I is concerned with the fundamental principles in the clinical diagnosis and medical care of patients with cardiovascular defects. Volume II is concerned with specific malformations. The book differs from the first edition in that it is more comprehensive and has several new chapters added. A summary at the end of each chapter has also been included in this edition. An outstanding feature is the Visual Index. This section is designed to show at a glance the salient features of the various congenital heart malformations.
The book contains little of the physiological studies of the various congenital heart malformations. The surgical aspect of the various anomalies is discussed, only briefly as a means of

It will come to an end. My argument is, it does not have to end badly. -- Ron Paul
Welcome Izhar Thank you for your Doubt Formula. I too read the Friends of LRH site. Very interesting reading the comparisons of LRH tech to Davey boy's tech.
Hi Izar,
We've never met but please know that you have done a lot of good for me.
I owe you much of my success in business.
Thank you!
Sp Declared.
Welcome Izhar.
You've taken a big leap, but no doubt there'll be more to take, and that's where ESMB is a gem for all. Good to have ya here.
I understand what you mean, and I AM happy, still I know I need to do some actions to repay my "silence" of many years, watching DM and his agents squirreling the tech that in my case really worked miracles.
Followed many incidents of strange and off tech Ethics handlings, unwise WISE handlings and arbitrations, and finally out tech on the upper OT levels.
The last straw for me was The Basics, where DM actually accused LRH of doing a sloppy job of supervising the printing of his books for years.
I have never doubted the Scientology tech or the intention of LRH regarding it.
The doubts I had was on the application of the data by the Church management and the staff that works for it.
I am a Scientologist as I follow as much as I can the teachings and processes of Scientology. I am against the Church of Scientology management and especially DM who I know to be suppressive of LRH Tech, staff and public.
Congrats on completing the doubt formula!
I agree with you 100%

Bringing the steampunkesque, naval-to-air warship tactical game to a 3D online game for tablet, browser & mobile platforms.
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on December 20, 2012.
First created | 0 backed
We need your help to build:
- 3D turn based, tactical naval-to-air game
- For Tablet, PC/Mac, & mobile platforms
- Default factions include Great Britain & France
Single Player Campaigns & Multiplayer modes
- Additional Factions, Units, Weapons and Campaigns at or post release
The high-level risks to the Leviathans Online project are:
COST: We are aiming to build far more than a complete digital version of the game experience set at the targeted $300,000 goal. We want to add features such as factional multiplayer ladders, battles, stats, and real-time maps, fleet challenges, online tournaments, tie-in application features with the physical game just to name a few. The limitations are directly tied to the level of funding achieved. Hitting our stretch goals beyond the $300,000 target can really make an amazing experience!
TIME: To ensure we deliver as promised, we will also be developing tool-sets for features such as scenario creation. Time is an enemy on all fronts to game projects, but with such a well defined game we do have an advantage of translating the original game mechanics and even polishing them in the online game versions.
COMMUNICATION: We will do our absolute best to update you on various levels of progress throughout the development cycle of this game. Transparency is one of our core values and we realize how important it is to listen to you.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Player vs. player is at the essence of the game and is very much a part of the plan. We have designed a very comprehensive idea of the multiplayer experience, and what features and modes it will encompass.
The project is in early development, but we view this as a plus. We truly believe that if we can get a community to rally behind an already great game and contribute integral feedback about the design features they want, we can make a game that truly caters to fans of Leviathans and the genre.
We do plan to show demos and updates as the campaign progresses to allow backers to visualize the game experience. I also want to point out that our communication plan stretches much further than the initial fundraising campaign. We hope to have backers and devoted gamers work with us throughout the development cycle of the game. We want to show an idea we have, take in feedback and make sure we are spending our time and energy on what matters most. We will post videos, sneak peeks, polls and other features to allow our community to tell us what they want.
We apologize for the confusion this may have caused. The 'Sextant' is only available at the $500 pledge level as the graphic indicates. We realized this error in the rewards column after someone had already pledged $250 so we were unable to make the change. We are very sorry for any frustration this may cause.
Yes, you will need two copies of the game. However, we will do our best to make all versions affordable. The pledge reward at $45 will land you 2 copies of the game and you get to choose which platform you want them for.
The level of pledging we receive, will determine the number of platforms we can build the game on.
We definitely have concepted tie-ins to the physical game in our stretch goals. We would love to be able to provide that connection between both experiences. We hope to share more as the full potential of our goals is realized.
$300k Goal:- Release of board game reproduction on Tablet (iPad)- PC/Mac port one month later - first added feature value content (see details below)
1) Tablet (iPad) 'Full Game' reproduction release with Faction based Tutorial campaign mode, Quick Game mode (I.e. 'Fashoda clash' scenario between Great Britain & France), Lieutenant & Commander difficulties, Full English& French default fleets, PvP matchup & 'Pass & Play' modes.
2) PC/MAC 'Full Game' reproduction release with Faction based Tutorial campaign mode, Quick Game mode (I.e. 'Fashoda clash' scenario between Great Britain& France), Lieutenant & Commander difficulties, Full English & French default fleets, PvP matchup & 'Pass & Play'
+ First units, conflict scenarios, & faction fleets for purchase:(i.e. alternate type 2,3,4 ships for all factions, new fleets for Germany & Italy or Japan & Russia - TBD by backer polls)
Priority just indicates who will receive the first wave of keys that are provided for the closed beta. Anyone who pledges below the CPO will still have access to the closed beta, they will just be a part of the second wave of key releases.
We have our project roadmap in place for gating goals & targeted release dates.
Currently, our releases take into account known risks & assumptions & have us at 7 months post-kickstarter campaign for completing the core game (@ 6months for iOS, +1 month later to complete port to PC).***see the details section of 'update #5' on the updates tab for the high level deliverables***.
If the project is fortunate enough to reach a further stretch goal as well (details to be released when campaign looks to hit our the kickstarter target) we also have already estimated & planned up to 3 further release dates (Over 13 months total) for these additional features and ports, which backers will be polled to determine the order in which they would also be developed & released as well.
NOTE: The dates above are based on all pre-project estimates from our production team. If backers demand to have additional features when the campaign hits our target that make sense, we will ensure the project is re-evaluated & course correct as necessary to ensure clear dates to reach are transparent within 1 week of the Kickstarter campaign coming to a close.
We have not factored in an Android launch for our initial goal, but if we can achieve some of our stretch goals it is definitely something we have considered.

I inherited from someone a multithreaded application that issues about 20 or
so system() calls. All similar to:
system("mkdir -p /tmp/20051124");
(Please hold your flames over the usage of system() in multi-threaded
application :-) )
after some time of execution it issues the
system("mkdir -p /tmp/20051128")
which never returns. Could someone recommend a possible theory why it could
happen and suggest a strategy of debugging it?
Note, I have absolutely no problems typing "mkdir -p /tmp/20051128" in a
separate shell window and executing it.

Prior to this game, I looked at our "outings" in Columbus.
In 6 games--since entering the Big Ten--we have been outscored 169-45. That's an average of 28-7.5. We didn't quite make that, thanks in part to yet another missed FG.
Looking at the score, it's hard to believe that PSU was within ONE score and a two-point conversion of tying this game.
Darryl Clark got a couple of meaningless snaps late in the game.
But the mistakes . . .
Three INTs.
A false start from the six inch line
Two missed field goals; we rekicked one
Giving up the big play on a scramble and throw by Smith
You can't play that sloppy and be so inept on offense and beat a #1 team, no matter who they are.
My recap will follow later, after I'm done throwing some beer bottles around and breaking some stuff.

YEARS ago, someone who occasionally advised me on my future spotted a promising opening. He made inquiries on my behalf but came back deflated. The boss of the organisation was keen, but his most senior staff member, whom I knew, had become "hysterical" at the suggestion of my joining. Some years later, when I pressed again, my adviser told me the senior staff member had objected to working with a Jew.
I have suffered blessedly few such incidents, but I have an inkling of what Sol Campbell, the black former England footballer, meant after watching BBC footage of racist abuse at grounds in Poland and Ukraine: "Sick, empty, hurt."
The BBC film showed anti-Semitic chanting, abuse of black players and a physical assault on Indian spectators at a Ukrainian stadium. The Polish and Ukrainian governments hosting the Euro 2012 football tournament said there would be no problems. But there have been, and officials have provided a demonstration of how not to deal with them.
Individual officials' ability to deal with racism on the streets is limited. But people can take responsibility for their own organisations. It starts with managers making it clear that it matters. When Fifa president Sepp Blatter said racist abuse on the field could be sorted out with a handshake, he could be dismissed as someone no longer fit to be in charge. We might have expected more from the Dutch Football Association (FA). When its team, practising in Krakow, moved to the far side of the ground after hearing monkey chants, the Dutch FA declined to make an official complaint. It said: "A few players have heard sounds, which could be described as possible monkey chants. However, staff on the pitch were not aware of this."
The response to doubters from Mark van Bommel, the Dutch captain, should be taped above every managerial desk: "Open your ears. If you did hear it, and don't want to hear it, that is even worse." T he message from the officials is: we don't want to make a fuss, so you're on your own.
The English FA has fumbled its biggest test this year. Former captain John Terry faces charges of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand last October. Terry denies the charge and nothing has been proved. But the FA stripped him of the captaincy, then allowed him to play as an ordinary team member. Manager Roy Hodgson refused to select Rio Ferdinand, the alleged victim's brother, ostensibly on footballing grounds. Many believe management fears the two players cannot share a changing room and prefer Terry. It is tawdry and suggests, again, that racism doesn't really matter.
What is required is firmness at the top. The Dutch FA should have said: "Not everyone heard the abuse, but our players did, and they are the ones who matter ." It is not just that racists thrive when condemnation is half-hearted. It is that there is no bigger leadership failure than giving those who work for you the feeling that you are not on their side.

Vagueness and the Construction of Criminal Statutes -- Balancing Acts
Robert Batey
Stetson University - College of Law
September 1997
In the Virginia Journal of Social Policy and the Law, Vol. 5, No. 1, 1997
This article expounds a framework for analyzing issues of vagueness and statutory construction in criminal cases. If ambiguity in a criminal statute raises concern regarding either of the main policies served by the vagueness doctrine, providing fair notice and limiting arbitrary and discriminatory law enforcement, vagueness analysis proceeds to a balancing of considerations: the need for the statutory ambiguity in order to achieve a significant legislative goal, weighed against the chilling effect of the ambiguity on protected or desirable conduct. This balancing inevitably involves evaluating legislative goals and guaranteed rights. Thus in order to conduct vagueness analysis, courts must discriminate among legislation and among rights, though their warrant to do either is questionable.
The framework used for vagueness claims is also serviceable in analyzing construction issues. As with vagueness, if a statutory interpretation argued by the prosecution raises the potential for lack of fair notice or for arbitrary and discriminatory law enforcement, courts deploy a balancing test, again arraying the necessity of the construction to further a significant legislative goal against the impact of the construction on protected or desirable conduct. Here also, courts must engage in an evaluation of statutes and rights that seems inconsistent with the standard conception of the proper role of the judiciary. The article identifies the courts' use of balancing to resolve questions of vagueness and statutory construction first in significant opinions of the last generation and then in a broader selection of decisions of more recent vintage.

Roy Halladay interrupted this clunker of a Phillies season to remind everybody of a dominant pitcher from yesteryear, or at least April.
With a curve ball that was singing and a fastball in the 90-mile-per-hour range that had plenty of movement, Halladay pitched seven shutout innings during Saturday's 3-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park.
Halladay allowed three hits, struck out five and walked one while throwing 94 pitches, 61 for strikes.
It was Halladay's best outing since opening day when he allowed two hits in eight innings of a 1-0 win at Pittsburgh.

WoOT! Big Thanks to WP7Dev Team! Looking forward to enjoying the fruits of your hard efforts. (1st in line for Sept 16 download
Looks like the media reference has been updated so the video plays fine now.
@ch9 this is my worst Silverlight Video Player User eXperience EVER!!!
When *.wma (audio) is used vs *.wmv (video) like this example http://bit.ly/cOGqn1
like this line of html source from this page:
<a href="http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/ch9/2/4/2/2/6/5/Ping66_ch9.wma" >
Once user starts video, controls disappear and Silverlight Player goes BLACK with NO more user input being accepted.
This just SUX (Sad UX)
Hopefully this Silverlight Player will be modified to allow user access to controls should an audio only file is played?

Bioversity International Launches Agrobiodiversity Project to Combat Climate Change
June 2011: Bioversity International has launched a project titled "Reinforcing the resilience of poor rural communities in the face of food insecurity, poverty and climate change," which works with partners in India, Nepal and Bolivia.
The three-year project is expected to support on-farm conservation of neglected and underutilized crops. It will work with national and international scientists, farmers and user groups to: investigate the use of neglected and underutilized species in increasing the resilience of production systems; examine the role of men and women farmers in conservation practices; develop participatory monitoring systems; and strengthen on farm conservation and the role of custodian farmers. The description of the project includes a video, entitled "Minor Millets and Women Empowerment in India." Bioversity International is a member of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).

Paper flowers. Paper flowers...Hanana sighed, reaching out to gently poke at one of the tissue-paper petals, flinching a bit at the sound of the paper crinkling. They were nice and all, very well crafted and wouldn't wilt but...it just wasn't the same. "Excuse me?" she called to a passing shop-keeper. "But do you happen to have any real flowers in?"
The woman shook her head, flashing the younger a condescending smile. "Sorry, dear," she said, the 'dear' being a mere placeholder instead of anything indicating affection or anything of the sort. "We won't have any real ones until summer. You can come back, then or if you're too impatient..." Though Hanana didn't voice her immediate thought--Summer's awfully late for flowers to be in bloom--her face clearly said it all, for the shop-keeper changed course suddenly. "It is a bit unusual to have them so late, perhaps, but it's just how it's done here. Now, if you need flowers for a party or a gift, then we have other kinds of flower further back--"
"No, thank you. I'm sorry to have bothered you," the rose-haired girl interrupted, inclining her head respectfully as she let herself out. She knew what other flowers would be back there: more paper, stiff fabric, or blocks of wood cut into crude flower-shapes and painted. All of which were nice enough, she supposed, but...
Well, she hadn't been able to see a real flower in months. And the move had been too sudden, and too busy and hectic, for her to have time to take something from her admittedly small garden with them.
She sighed again, a bit wistful. She should have known there wouldn't be anything...Her new home was near a forest, yes, but the town itself had hard dirt paths and cobblestones as opposed to grassy lawns and tiny gardens like her hometown. She'd expected that being near a forest would have at least allowed something to grow near the edge of town, where her house was, but there wasn't so much as a dandelion--which was odd, really. The forest itself might have something, but...
"Who saw him?"
"The baker's wife...."
She stopped in her walk, head turning towards the small group of villagers nearby. They were huddled together and speaking in that type of voice where you only pretend to want to keep things private, but really you hope someone hears you, because whatever you had to say was too interesting to keep to yourself. Normally she wouldn't have paid attention, thinking it was something like idle gossip, but their tones sounded serious.
"...doing out there?"
"...had to chase after that boy of theirs. Kid turned around and ran back when she yelled at him, but right before she turned around she saw..."
"...saw him as she was chasing her son, didn't she? She didn't have to--"
"No, thank goodness. Said she found a stray cat on her way back before she found her son, so ...didn't stick around to see if it'd go in there...just ran for it like her heels were on fire."
"Well, lucky for her, then...no one's had to...hate for that day to actually come."
What were they talking about? "Excuse me?" Hanana ventured, trying not to sound too nosy. "But what's happened?" If something or someone dangerous was around, she and her family would have to know.
One man looked up, eyebrows lifted. "You never heard of the demon?" he asked.
The pink-haired woman shook her head, curiosity piquing and eyebrows lowering. Demon?
"Ah, right...new folk," the man muttered. "'course you wouldn't know..." He should have known. He and his neighbors had been careful not to mention the horrible creature around the newcomers.
The girl and her family had arrived so suddenly, around the middle of autumn, when the air was getting colder. On top of that, they were apparently intending to move into the old, abandoned house at the edge of the town, near the forest. Those two facts had raised red flags with everyone in the village, and their first thoughts were that the demon had gotten some poor mortal servants and spies, and was surely planning to kill someone who spoke poorly of him. But after weeks passing and nothing out of the ordinary happening, most of the village had calmed down just a little bit.
Besides, if the demon had a spy, surely she wouldn't pretend to have not heard of him? If anything, a spy would play along and wait until afterwards to report back. It would be alright to tell her--warn her. Of course, there was nothing wrong with having a bit of fun with it...
Trying to hide his smile, the man gestured her to come closer, dropping his voice to a stage whisper that the new girl didn't appear to pick up on. "Long time ago," he began, "back when my great-grandfather was a young man, there was this awful winter. Worst anyone'd seen. It started with a snowstorm that raged for days, the strongest anyone had ever seen. Houses got buried up to the window-tops in snow, and you couldn't stay out for a minute without getting completely blue and numb. The storm eventually calmed down, but the awful cold lasted an entire month. At first, everyone thought it was just nature being strange--it's always unpredictable, yeah?"
Hanana nodded, eyes already wide.
"But it turned out, it wasn't anything to do with nature...for starters, whenever the wind howled, when the snow fell and suddenly flurried everywhere...if you listened carefully, you could hear someone screaming." The man paused for dramatic effect. "First they thought someone was lost out there, but they couldn't find anyone, and it kept happening for days, longer'n any normal person should have lasted. An' it never stopped, nor was it a scared, lost sound--whoever was making the noise was angry.
"But still, no one knew what it was...til right before Winter ended, and my great-grandfather saw someone move along the edge of the forest. He called out to them, thought they'd be cold. Told them to come into the village, find shelter. But the person turned to look at him, and there was this terrible, evil glow...wasn't natural. Then the creature started to move towards him--my great-grandfather ran for it, barely escaping with his life."
The villagers were starting to chuckle amongst themselves a bit. The man telling the story had been dropping his voice lower and lower as he went on, his poor victim leaning to listen better, hanging on his every word. "Don't bore her with the history lessons, tell her what he does NOW," snickered one woman.
"I'm gettin' there!" the man protested. "Anyway, they eventually learned what that thing was...it was a demon. He had come into the forest on the Northern Wind, and had apparently decided to make his home here. He tried to come after the villagers a few times, but mercifully they would always escape. And after a time, the villagers learned a little more about the creature...In addition to being cold and cruel, he didn't like to be seen. Anyone who sets eyes on him, even for an instant, must offer him a tribute, to tell him that they wouldn't tell anyone what they saw. Tribute's gotta be the first living creature they see after they lay eyes on him."
Hanana secretly thought that sounded rather silly...and couldn't help wonder how the villagers had even come to that conclusion. If no one had allowed him to come near, how could they possibly figure out such a thing? And still if they'd never been near him, how did they know what he was like? Still, she kept silent, unable to stop listening despite that little piece of doubt in the back of her mind.
"And he knows when you see him, see...and if you don't give him the tribute, know what he does?"
She shook her head, drawing n a breath.
The man's voice was so low that Hanana had to strain to hear him. "He comes after you...hunts you down...And then with a mere touch...he freezes you to death!" At that, the man clapped a hand on Hanana's shoulder.
She jumped back as if she'd been shocked, giving out a short, startled scream. Her face turned red as the group started laughing at her. That really wasn't funny!
"Ahhh, sorry, didn't mean to scare ya," laughed the man, clearly not meaning it. "But anyway, now ya know. If ya think ya see someone near the forest, don't call out to them, don't approach them, and if you see anything bright and blue--that's probably him. Then just run, and remember what I told you he wants."
"Y-Yeah..." Hanana mumbled, rubbing her arm where he'd touched her and trying to ignore the still-snickering villagers. "Thank you." She hurried off, face still hot.
Still, she couldn't help but wonder...some things just didn't make much sense to her. Why would a demon even appear in this place, and for that matter, weren't they malicious creatures? If there indeed was a demon in the forest, why would it just do nothing? Not even show itself properly? Even in fairy tales, evil spirits would appear to demand respect and fear, and wouldn't sit by and do relatively nothing. And again, how did anyone even know what he supposedly wanted if no one had been near enough to even speak to him?
As she neared the edge of town and took the small path that lead to her house, she glanced off towards the forest. There couldn't be anything there...it was just a story, surely. There were too many holes in the villager's story for it to be real.
Unseen by her, a snowflake fell to earth.

Love it more and more!! Your story is so amazing and I love the way you write, it feels so alive!!
Very nice introduction I like this a lot
Also I forgot to mention that the rose at the top is very pretty, but blue's my favorite color so I'm somewhat partial, however, even if it wasn't, it still is a well drawn and beautiful rose :3
Just as excited as Jade to see more!! I like the part you added before Hanana talks to the villagers.
You have a stray html tag lurking
I'm definitely intrigued. MOAAARRRR~

You've likely heard plenty of Christian music made by a pastor's kid who eventually became a worship leader. That's the 10-cent description of Rhett Walker, whose debut rock record, Come to the River, released last week.
But Walker's journey from churchgoing son of a pastor to lead singer of the Rhett Walker Band was a rocky, circuitous one, involving drugs and a girlfriend's unexpected pregnancy during his rebellious teen years. Walker's fork-in-the-road moment came when he was just 17, but, spurred on by a challenge from his father, he went in a direction most 17-year-olds wouldn't.
Walker drew directly from those experiences for Come to the River, helped by co-writers such as Jason Ingram, David Leonard of All Sons & Daughters, and Steven Delopoulos of Burlap to Cashmere. When we spoke, Walker didn't shy away from his troubled past as he talked about grace, boldness, and how bands like Soundgarden and .38 Special have inspired him.
Tell me about what you were like as a teenager.
My dad's a pastor, and we'd just moved to South Carolina, and it was like starting over. I was young and dumb. You know how it is when you're 16. You're just getting your license and things are starting to go smoothly. Then I just went crazy. I started messing in stuff I didn't need to. I got expelled from my high school. I had to go to this Christian school down the road. All along my dad is a pastor at this new church, and people are like, "How can you lead a church if you can't even raise your family?"
So I get to this new school and, same thing: living life like I wanted to, messing with drugs. Next thing you know, my girlfriend's pregnant. That was the moment where it was like, "What have I done? This is forever." I didn't know what to do. I told my dad, and he said, "Now's the time to man up. No matter what happens, you'll forever take care of this girl, and you'll forever take care of this baby." I told April, who was my girlfriend and is now my wife of eight years, "We've done everything wrong that we possibly can. Let's try to do it right from here on out."
We were 17 and had to get our parents to sign off to get married. We went before my dad's church, walked right up front and told them what was happening, that we're expecting a baby. They ended up throwing baby showers on their own dime. So we were able to see the way a church body is supposed to exist, with brothers and sisters helping each other. The church could have easily turned their back on us. But they really jumped in there. I was seeing firsthand that Christ does love me. I've done everything possible to screw it up, and he's still there to help me and protect me, and now he can help me raise a family as a 17-year-old.
Given that history, do you feel like you're especially gifted to sing about grace?
I don't know if I'm especially gifted, but I know I've seen it firsthand. I played drums and I was playing in my dad's worship band when we were married and back in church. My wife started pushing me to sing. One time at our church, the worship leader asked me to come off the drums for the next Sunday and sing a song, Todd Agnew's "Grace Like Rain." I thought, I don't know if you're drunk or what, but I will. So I did, and it was terrible. People at the church were like, "You were singing to the Lord!" It's a nice way of saying, "We thought it was terrible, but God loved it." But they never let me go back to drums.
So I started singing and leading worship. After months of doing that, I started getting opportunities to lead worship other places. God was just opening doors, and we wanted to do whatever he asked. I was happy doing Passion covers and Hillsong songs and stuff like that, but from what I'd seen and the kind of life I'd lived, I felt like I had a story to tell with what Christ has done in my life. So I started writing songs and pursuing music. I felt like God was pushing me toward Nashville, so I did the easy cop-out and said, "Well, I'll pray about it." The next week my mom called me and said, "You ever thought about moving to Nashville?" Two weeks later we were in Nashville. We've been here four years now.

Last week I found myself on the beach pondering my next Movie Crush column when I thought of the perfect topic: grunion. Specifically, watching the little fishies make little fishy babies during high tide on the California shore. After watching the 1991 cult comedy Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead many a time in my youth, I'd always dreamed of seeing the grunion run -- preferably under gorgeous moonlight, of course, and with Josh Charles at my side.
You see, for me, grunion and Josh Charles are eternally intertwined. And for a teenager in the '90s, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead was a cornucopia of wish-fulfillment in which a girl could have just about anything -- fashion, success, romance -- all before the age of 18.
As the 17-year-old Sue Ellen Crandall, Christina Applegate had it all (or at least as much as was possible in a crowded house with no parental unit around for three months): beauty, brains, her mom's car, a career she'd fudged her way into, and as much petty cash as a teenage girl supporting her rowdy siblings could spend. In the wake of old Mrs. Sturak's untimely death, Sue Ellen had risen to the occasion and become a budding fashion professional while all her friends were off vacationing in Europe. More importantly, even after her lies brought everything crashing down around her, she still had Bryan (Josh Charles), the earnest, adorable delivery boy she met while scrubbing grease at Clown Dog.
Fans with good memories remember Josh Charles popping up in Hairspray(1988) and Dead Poets Society (1989), but his turn in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead remains my favorite. It was only his fourth screen role, but at just 19 years old, Charles was perfectly fresh-faced for the role of Sue Ellen's naïve teenage boyfriend, whose down-to-earth goodness offered a welcome change from the David Duchovnys and John Getzes of the skeevy grown-up world.
Even dressed almost exclusively in his Clown Dog hat and bow tie, Charles's Bryan was a keeper. Who encouraged the miserable Sue Ellen to quit Clown Dog, spurring her on to that plum gig at GAW? Who rescued all five Crandall kids like a clown truck-driving white knight when their wheels were stolen by drag queens? And who totally forgave her lies when he showed up to her house to find a giant fashion show going on in the backyard? Bryan, Bryan, and Bryan. And yet, despite Bryan's saintly heroics and quickness to forgive, Sue Ellen wielded the power in their relationship. He may have brought home the hot dogs, but she was ambitious, capable, and mature -- at least, until Mom came home from Australia.
But back to that grunion run. Bryan and Sue Ellen agree to a first date on the beach, where the oceanography enthusiast nerds on and on about female and male grunion mating rituals. They find they have something in common -- uncertainty about the future, whether in fashion or oceanography -- and share an adorably awkward first kiss. Technically, they're too busy first-kissing to even notice the grunion flopping around in the sand at their feet. But who really needs to watch fish laying eggs when Josh Charles is getting his mack on with "I Only Have Eyes For You" playing in the background?
I kept my eye on Charles in the years that followed Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, but the remainder of the '90s yielded a string of mostly forgettable films; Threesome was an exception, while another great project saw Charles as sportcaster Dan Rydell on Aaron Sorkin's "Sports Night." Supporting roles in indie flicks and bigger ones alike followed (including SWAT, Four Brothers, and The Ex), but Charles seems to have found juicier bits on recent television shows like "In Treatment" and "The Good Wife." (If you're watching "The Good Wife," you've gotten a taste of Josh Charles back in leading man territory.) Here's to hoping he returns to playing romantic feature film roles in the near future.
But if not, we'll always have the grunion.
(Grunion run at 4:11!)

"Grimm" fans, get ready to set those DVRs, or drink plenty of coffee to stay awake. After last Friday's scheduled episode was bumped by the Blazers/Rockets NBA playoff game to 7 p.m. Saturday, this week, "Grimm" viewers will have to settle for the scheduled Friday night episode being pushed back to 2:07 a.m. Saturday. Isn't that the time of night that the scary Wesen come out?
The Blazers and the Rockets meet up for Game 6 at Portland's Moda Center Friday night, and since KGW (8), the NBC affiliate, is broadcasting the game beginning at 7:30 p.m., "Grimm" is getting pushed out of its usual 9 p.m. time slot.
So, depending on how you look at it, you can stay up very late Friday, or get up super early Saturday to see the latest "Grimm." Or just record the episode. It may also be available On Demand on Saturday. There's also the option of watching the episode, titled "My Fair Wesen," on the "Grimm" website (nbc.com/grimm) or on Hulu (hulu.com/grimm)
I'll be watching (not at 2 a.m.) and will, as usual, post my recap of this week's episode right here at Oregonlive.com/tv, so come back Saturday and join in the discussion when you've caught up with "My Fair Wesen." (Here is a link to last week's recap/discussion about "Nobody Knows the Trubel I've Seen.")
If "Hannibal" is pre-empted (it begins at 10 p.m. Friday usually) this week's episode will air at 2:03 a.m. Sunday. Although I don't know how wise it is to mess around with Hannibel Lecter.
And if anyone's wondering — anyone? Anyone? Bueller? -- when to catch the Friday edition of "Dateline NBC," it will air at 3:04 a.m. Saturday.
In the meantime, here's a peek at this week's new "Grimm" episode:
Does that help tide you over? Well, then, here's another clip, a preview for the Friday episode of "Hannibal." Dig in:

Polarimetric measurements of the coronal forbidden lines have been recognized for quite some time as a diagnostic tool for inferring the direction of the coronal magnetic field. Following the first successful measurements by Eddy et al. (1973) during the total solar eclipse of 1966, an observing campaign using the coronagraph at Sacramento Peak Observatory was pursued between 1977-1980 (Arnaud and Newkirk, 1987). All these measurements yielded the surprising result that the direction of polarization implied a predominantly radial coronal magnetic field. We report on the polarization measurements of the Fe XIII 1074.7nm line, the strongest of the coronal forbidden lines, which were obtained during the total solar eclipse of 2001 June 21 from Zambia. In addition to confirming the earlier results of a predominantly radial field, the signature of nano-size interplanetary dust in the inner corona, most likely in the form of silicon nanoparticles, appeared for the first time in these measurements. The signature of these particles also coincides with the radial expansion of coronal holes outwards from the Sun, a signature that has never appeared in any measurement before.
Support for this work was provided by NSF grant ATM-0003661 and NASA grant NAG5-10873

The real reason Romney lost
November 25, 2012 - Harry Eagar
It's obvious, but in all the postmortems, I haven't seen anyone finger it.
First, let's review the bidding:
Romney himself: Obama bought the election by gifting non-whites with gummint goodies.
John Podhoretz (editor of Commentary): Democrats had no policy to offer but organized the greatest get-out-the-vote operation in history. (Why the targets voted for a no-policy candidate is not explained in this version.)
Franklin Graham and other religious bigots: It was the judgment of God for America's embrace of homosexuality.
Glenn Beck: Wake up call from God (or something).
Bob Vander Plaats (antigay head of Iowa Family Leader): Obama would have lost if Republicans had run a really far right candidate.
You may have seen a few others.
The real reason can almost (but not quite) be set out as a syllogism:
1. Almost all voters report to American business management; and if they don't, they used to or have a spouse who does; or at the very least have friends who do and who talk about their experience.
2. After stripping off the decorations, Romney's fundamental offer was to run government like American managers run businesses.
3. Given their personal experience, most Americans have no desire to have something as important as government run like a business.

AC Propulsion, manufacturer of electric drive systems, and Peraves AG, whose E-Tracer EV was named a winner in the Progressive Automotive X-Prize contest, have announced they have signed a "Letter of Intent" to produce the EV in the U.S.
The E-Tracer, which is essentially an enclosed two-seater motorcycle, utilizes AC Propulsion's proprietary tzero EV system.
"We are proud to announce that we have recently signed a Letter of Intent to supply the propulsion systems to Peraves and assist in bringing the E-Tracer to market," Tom Gage, AC Propulsion CEO, said in a statement. "The E-Tracer is the perfect expression of performance with efficiency. The E-Tracer a niche vehicle, but it sets a benchmark for what can be done with electric propulsion, and that will help inform the larger EV market as it develops. That was the purpose of the Progressive X-Prize and, acting on that, it is our intention to have E-Tracers on the road in 2011."
AC Propulsion will assemble the production version of the E-Tracer at its facility in San Dimas, California. 21st Century Motoring will be coordinating sales and marketing. AC Propulsion and Peraves have tentatively set plans to sell 100 E-Tracers next year.

text: I would definitely decrease fat on days you are higher in carbs. The high fat/high carb diet is what most people do that gets them overweight. Hopefully, by decreasing fats you can stay in a calorie range where your body burns through the carbs and does not store anything as fat. Going higher. Carb only on days you have a pretty hard workout will help you burn those carbs up as well.

Damien Rice (Vector)
Damien Rice's debut may be the most depressing album you'll hear all year. "Life taught me to die," wails the Irish singer-songwriter in his aching, emotionally raw voice on "Cannonball," which will blow just about anybody's good mood to smithereens. While many of these alt-folk tunes have a mournful, almost dirgelike quality, on closer inspection they reveal a rich, elegant beauty highlighted by Rice's delicate acoustic guitar, Lisa Hannigan's ethereal supporting vocals and Vyvienne Long's evocative cello. The disc peaks midway through with the haunting, string-swept "Amie," on which Rice begs a girl to read him the classic erotic novel The Story of O.
BOTTOM LINE: Savory Rice
Picks and Pans Review: O

Conservation and Use of Plant Genetic Resources Advances in Mesoamerica
6 May 2013: As part of the 58th annual meeting of the Central American Cooperative Programme for the Improvement of Crops and Animals (Programa Cooperativo Centroamericano para el Mejoramiento de Cultivos y Animales (PCCMCA), held from 22-26 April 2013, working groups were established to address priorities and challenges in adapting to climate change in the region.
These activities will build on the Strategic Action Plan for the Conservation and Use of Plant Genetic Resources in Mesoamerica (SAPM). The SAPM process includes a scientific agenda that will be further discussed over the coming year. The Mesoamerican Network on Plant Genetic Resources will act as the secretariat in implementing SAPM and will coordinate efforts to bring together diverse stakeholders.
The work is funded by the Benefit Sharing Fund of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. [Bioversity International Press Release] [Central American Cooperative Programme for Improvement of Crops and Animals (PCCMCA) Website]

How do evaluations occur in courses with multiple (two or more) instructors?
If there are multiple instructors for the course, then each instructor will be evaluated by the students only if each instructor is listed in the banner system. Otherwise, if a course with multiple instructors is set up only under one faculty person's name, then students will see that faculty member's name only as the one being evaluated.
It is important to correctly set up courses with multiple instructors, be they in the same or different sections.

Untold Scandal
Cast: Mi-suk Lee, Do-yeon Jeon, Yong-jun Bae
Director: Je-young Lee
Certificate: S.Kor 2004, Cert 18, rt 124 mins,
Beavis & Butthead-Mike Judge Collection Flightplan The Exorcism of Emily Rose Separate Lies FactotumMore movie reviews
The Dangerous Liaisons story is given a faithful recreation in the exotic surroundings of 18th century Korea. Its been given a wonderful reception in its home country where its been a big box office hit and one can see why.
It's a great story for a start. For those not familiar with it, two love-entangled Courtesans, one male, one female make a pact to cause disruption in the lives of others through disguised romances that are meant to be love, for the cause of a bet and all will go well with their devious plan provided that true love is ultimately avoided. In the course of these romantic entanglements, things don't go as planned.
Untold Scandal is a visually stunning mix of wonderful costumes and great cinematography and the cast play out the story with satisfactory zeal and guile. Those that know the story well would do best to avoid it because it won't add anything new that you wouldn't expect. For those not familiar with the story however, this is worth seeking out if you like romantic costume dramas where the leading protagonists are scheming in a battle of wits. Its sure to find an Asian audience – whether it finds a wider one is perhaps debateable merely because the story of Les Liaisons Dangereuses is so widely known these days and most recently got the young Hollywood treatment courtesy of Ryan Philippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

About Ucluelet
How to pronounce Ucluelet?..... You, Clue, Let
Ucluelet is a small, tranquil and welcoming town of approximately 1500 residents, located on the western shores of Vancouver Island. Backed by the Vancouver Island Mountain Range and facing the open Pacific Ocean, we are lucky to have access to the sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, secluded coves, and lush old-growth rainforested trails of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
These natural wonders are interwoven with the rich cultural history of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations, whose presence on the west coast dates back for at least 5000 years; and explorers, fur sealers, fishermen and missionaries of the 1800's and 1900's.
Ucluelet is a popular travel destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Activities include surfing, kayaking, fishing, whale watching, hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, storm watching and beach combing. Ucluelet also features many energetic festivals and events and offers some excellent restaurants, unique shops and galleries, an aquarium, and a range of accommodation choices.
