For Swingers Only
The scene: July 7, 1956, the Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island. Duke Ellington's band is weathering a rare slump. With public interest waning, tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves starts to play the obligatory solo, when a woman in the front row starts dancing. That spontaneous act inspires Gonsalves to improvise the landmark 28-chorus solo that bridges the gap between "Diminuendo in Blue" and "Crescendo in Blue" and ultimately turns the music world on its ear. The subsequent release of the Columbia recording of the live performance would single-handedly rejuvenate the band's sagging career. You wouldn't know it today, but that symbiosis of jazz and dance has been around since Jelly Roll Morton first worked the red-light district in New Orleans.
But somewhere along the line, jazz lost its step. The swing era of the '30s and '40s kept people on the dance floor and in nightclubs, but the bebop revolution of the late '40s and '50s sacrificed jazz's dance groove for more a complex interpretation of swing. The masses avoided it like.... well, like modern jazz.
"Part of it is that we are artists," says bassist Rodney Whitaker, whose credits include stints with Roy Hargrove and Terence Blanchard and appearances on more than 70 recordings. "We started to consider ourselves artists so much that the whole notion of entertainment was beneath us.....For example, Duke Ellington, he wrote great suites and masterworks that weren't about dancing."
Leave it to the highly talented and opinionated trumpeter and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Wynton Marsalis, to bring the hip back to the hop with For Dancers Only, a program featuring the music of Ellington, Count Basie and Benny Goodman, and new compositions written by Marsalis and bandmates who were inspired by the swing era.

"[I]t's important for people to know the history, that they don't think that this is a new thing," says Whitaker, who joined the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in 1996. "There's a whole history behind the lindy hop, and it goes back to the '30s....Basie, Duke, Benny Goodman and all the jazz greats. I think we call it edutainment -- audiences come in and they have a good time, but within them having a good time, you can educate them."
The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra has earned international acclaim for its educational residencies, workshops and concerts for students and adults. A tireless educator, Marsalis maintains a relentless pace. He has been known to play well past midnight and show up for an early-morning high school band rehearsal the next day. He expects the same from the members of his orchestra, but you won't hear them complain. Most of these musicians benefited from Marsalis's tutelage when they were cutting their teeth. "It's easy, because pretty much everyone in the band met Wynton at some stage in their life at a workshop he was doing at our school or in our town or something," says Whitaker.
It was JALC's educational program that spawned the idea of For Dancers Only. With the swing revival in full force, Marsalis and company were being asked to do programs with swing dancers as part of their residencies. "We noticed that most of these kids who are dancing don't know the history of the dance or the music," says Whitaker. "So, I think that's part of the mission: to let them hear the real music where this dance came from."
Unfortunately, when For Dancers Only comes to Houston, there won't be a space for the audience to put its backfield in motion. But Marsalis and orchestra hope concertgoers, like the artists themselves, will improvise like crazy.
"We encourage the audience to get up and dance and have a good time," says Whitaker. "If you feel like dancing, dance. That's what jazz is about. It's about having a good time. If you take that from jazz, then jazz is in trouble."
Society for the Performing Arts presents Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra on Sunday, May 7, at Jones Hall at 7 p.m. For more information, call (713)227-4SPA.

I went to both Denver games this season and the difference between the two were pretty stark. Totally agree with Bigeauz about Gordon, it just didn't feel like he was even there if he wasn't turning the ball over, same for Vasquez. I was really impressed with Rivers' ability to penetrate and his shooting looked a lot better than what we're used to seeing. I don't think people really appreciate how much better he seems to play without Roberts on the court. Long ways to go still, but you can see a kernel of competency there. Miller is really intriguing but I hated to see Aminu get so few minutes last night. Henry...Lord help us!
« Game On Hornets @ Nuggets
The Missing Piece: Waiting for 2014 »
Turnovers Doom the Hornets in 113-98 Loss
The first thing Hornets play by play man Joel Meyers said after the final buzzer was, "Tough loss." In a way, yeah, any game where you turn the ball over 22 times (versus 9 for the Nuggets) and allow 32 points off those turnovers (7 for the Hornets) and yet really only lose by 12, while on the road, and playing your third game in four nights is a tough loss.
But I look at this in a more encouraging light.
This game had the makings of a blowout and one that would occur quickly. Yet the Hornets hung tight for more than 3 quarters despite shooting themselves in the foot constantly. The game really only got away from them late in the 4th quarter. In the games against the Lakers, Jazz and tonight we're starting to see this team come together and play well, yet still remind us of how inexperienced they are. And that's all to be expected of a young team.
The turnovers are brutal. But Gordon isn't going to have 5 every night, Rivers might eventually cut them down, Vasquez has been much better since Gordon has returned. And the team hung tough with the second fastest paced team in the league while on the road and playing poorly with tired legs. I like that. I'm encouraged by that. Right now it looks like the Hornets can play with any team in the league and if they cut down on mistakes they have a chance to win every night.
-Mr. Rivers came out aggressive tonight and looked like a different players. He also showed by he's considered an experiment at point guard. His passes were stronger tonight which is something I've wanted to see out of him but he still struggles to get the ball where it needs to go. There were back to back possessions where he passed into Davis' shins. Still, if he played like this every night (8 points on 4 of 6 shooting) I'd be happy. Now he just needs to consistently get to the foul line–and make his free throws.
-I'm not going to freak out about the turnovers right now, but if this happens towards the end of the season then there will be a problem. I need to see some ball security developed by the youngsters.
-In the first half especially the Hornets did a great job of denying the Nuggets offensive rebounds. This is difficult since Denver ranks first in that category. Davis and Aminu were the main reason as they grabbed 4 and 5 first half rebounds respectively.
-The bench showed up tonight! There we're solid contributions by Anderson, Smith, Rivers, Miller and even Henry. Roberts sat tonight due to a coach's decision and honestly, the second unit looked better without him. There seems to be more of a rhythm with Rivers playing the point. He's doing his best to try and get his teammates involved (though he still misses obvious passes) rather than dribbling around then shooting.
-Darius Miller can pass. Expect his minutes to increase after his showing tonight. His play against Utah caused Lance Thomas to stay on the bench all night.
Let's hear your take in the comments below.

Lancome Blush Subtil
Lancome Blush Subtil Reviews
Extremely pigmented and long-lasting
I love this blush. I think that if anyone can end up not liking it, it would only be because they haven't found their colour or haven't found the proper way of using it. So I got this in two different shades: "Rose Romantique" and "Brilliant Berry". I have repurchased both of them. I tend to use "Rose Romantique" in the summer and "Brilliant Berry" in the winter. This blush is extremely pigmen...read moreted, so I can see how someone might immediately use too much and decide that they hate it. Or they might not like the colour choices because they assume that this is the exact colour that will end up on their cheeks. Yes, of course you can build it up the that exact colour if you need to, but the good thing is that you only need a tiny little dab of the brush on every cheek to give it a perfect colour, just enough for your blush to look natural. And it's important to know that. Then, you can take it as far as you think you need to. I don't. Because I like my cheeks very natural. My skin is very pale and anything too extreme just doesn't look good on it. I find that in order to get away with those looks you really need to have perfect skin, which is definitely not my case... Anyway, what I want to say is don't be afraid if the colour looks too intense and remember that when you apply it on our cheek lightly, you will only see a fraction of what you are seeing on display at the store... This blush is very blendable, so using a good brush is a must as well. Never underestimate the power of a good brush. So just a tiny amount, good brush, and this will stay on all day and you will look naturally fabulous! Would definitely recommend to all... ;) — 3 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Great range of colors. Highly pigmented, but easy to blend. Goes on smooth and is long lasting. Can't ask for anything better! — 5 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Stays on
Gives the right natural color that stays on in place. Looks very natural very good for high cheekbones. Price is high but you get what you pay for. — 1 year, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

This is the explosive moment a train hit a truck in Midland County, Texas, sending metal pipes flying through the air.
The force of the impact carried the truck at least hallf a mile down the track before the train managed to stop. The truck driver had already left the vehicle when it was hit and was unhurt. A crossing barrier was damaged in the incident and nearly 380 litres of Disel fuel was split.
The driver reportedly told the authorities that he had parked on the tracks to give way to others traffic on the road when the truck broke down.

I have had my brushed erevo for a while now and ive messed around with oils, pinions, motors etc. and i really found a setup thats really fun that i really enjoy. its definitely not one for the speed runs, but it still flies, soaks up jumps, and runs great offroad with the ride height. I know it seems alot like a summit, but ive seen a summit and with this i get summit features with e-revo type speed. it sounds like stiff suspension, but i honestly get 1/3 sag at rest. I get really good wheelies and then nice straightway speed. just thought it might help others who tinker.

More Photos from Australia & Rumors

New No Show Running Sock
Rumors The Lulumum blog has a post today that says she is hearing rumors that the Gratitude Wrap and Deep V are making a comeback. I did read a blurb on one of the store FB sites about the Gratitude Wrap so I think that one is true. However, I haven't heard/read anything about the Deep V. (Hmmm, just read an anonymous comment on the Superficial Endeavors blog about the Athletic Deep V making a comeback in the spring.) Lulumum lives in Vancouver so maybe she is more at the epicenter of things and gets better gossip than we do. It would be great if the Deep V did make a comeback. I would love if the bras came back, too. I wouldn't mind if they brought back the Repose Tank, too.
Purple Crush Scoop Neck Tank - Try On Review
I think the purple crush Scoop Neck is one of the prettiest Scoop Necks to come out in awhile. I love the darker accent seaming. I'm going to have to be on the lookout for versions that come with darker seaming because it really seemed to flatter my shape much more than a regular Scoop Neck. I'm not normally a huge Scoop Neck fan, they just don't do much for me, with the exception of this tank. The heathered purple crush luon was very soft (felt like thick running luon or brushed luon) and has a good deal of polyester content, something like 46%. However, the luon felt kind of thick and hot so I ended up not getting it. I am getting back into weight lifting and doing other cardio besides spin so I can wear my "warmer" regular weight luon items in the cooler big open area of my gym but the this tank felt even warmer than regular weight luon. If this hit the markdown rack in my size, I might get one but I passed on it today. I really like it though. Every person I have a photo of wearing it looks super cute.

Star-Banner readers share their views on driving, Republicans, Gov. Scott, bonuses and Bobby Genovese.
Go the speed limit
The driving in Ocala is crazy as many of us have witnessed. However, there is one practice that is extremely dangerous.
While driving when the speed is posted as 55 or 45 this means to drive that speed. I know you think you are safer driving 5 to 10 or more miles under the speed limit, but you are really a danger, especially when you are driving in the left lane or going around a curve, for those that are behind you. If you can't see well enough to read the speed or you choose to drive under the speed, you need to get off the road. How many more people have to die or be hurt from you not following the speed limit?
If the police would stop these people and ticket them, then they would stop this nonsense because it is just as dangerous as speeding. Please, please just drive the posted speed limit!

A thankful non-Republican
I have been reading the comments of a few disgruntled tea party Republicans blaming the president for everything under the sun from bad weather to the lack of action by the Congress and have concluded that I should hold their feet to the fire as well. So I have found a list of 10 reasons why I'm thankful that I'm not a Republican (in no particular order):
1. I respect the civil rights of all Americans, not just those I choose to agree with.
2. I understand basic economics that consumer demand creates jobs, not tax breaks.
3. I know that while mental health does play a part in gun violence, guns are still part of the problem.
4. I understand that science isn't some form of liberal magic trick.
5. I know that women deserve the same rights in the workplace and everywhere else as men.
6. I know that racism isn't natural, it's a learned behavior — and skin color says nothing about the content of one's character.
7. It doesn't matter if John wants to marry Jane or Jake, it's none of my business.
8. I know Christianity is about hope, love and compassion — not fear, hate and judgment.
9. When someone needs help, I ask "What can I do?" not "Why?"
10. Health care is a right, not a privilege. Our ability to live healthier lives shouldn't be determined by how much we can afford.
As a Marine I understand that the president is the commander in chief of the United States and deserves the respect associated with that office, whether you like him/her or not.
Larry Hamelin
Our beholden governor
We have forgotten what it is to have a real leader to stand for things that help people and our state progress.
Change is hard, but it is the only way life becomes better. We live in a state with sunshine 350 days a year, so why doesn't solar technology play a bigger role? For that, you need leadership — not back-room deals with entrenched oil and gas interests.
In contrast, the governor of California shows his leadership in ways that benefit his state. Gov. Jerry Brown has actually gotten California out of bankruptcy and even produced a surplus — after Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger threw in the towel. Brown's health care version of Obamacare is a great success, and his actions on cap-and-trade are up and running. Next he will improve California with a high-speed rail system. He has bold ideas, which will pay huge dividends in the future!
We are stuck with a governor mired in 20th century thinking. Rick Scott has refused government money for a high-speed rail system, refused to accept enhanced Medicaid and starved the public schools. Since he has no ideas, he is interview-shy and seems to pass minor bills.
We have a secretive governor beholden to the corporations, banks and Wall Street.
In a fairer climate he would have been punished for his theft of Medicare and Medicaid funds. A fine is no punishment for the wealthy. He has no vision to improve Florida and its citizens. Let's not make the same mistake twice. We need and deserve a governor with progressive ideas!
Estelle Siegel
Bonus outrage
Would someone please explain to myself and other veterans why anyone in government employ should expect to have a monetary bonus just for doing the job that they were hired to do?
I worked in nursing during my working years and never once got a bonus just for doing my job. My husband worked in manufacturing and also never got a bonus, unless you call a turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas a bonus.
I somewhat understand this practice in the private sector, but in government employ — where, by the way, the salary and bonus is actually my money?
Barbara Bartlett
Don't waste your time
The June 22 Ocala Star-Banner had an article about Bobby Genovese wanting to help make Marion County "explode" in a few years? Well, don't waste your time and money, because the Marion County commissioners will not let that happen.
We just lost the New York Yankees baseball farm team that would have brought in a lot of jobs and tourists. Now they want to shut down Wild Waters in three years.
There are no full-time jobs in Ocala, and Silver Springs Park has no more animals or rides. They shut down the Internet cafes, now seniors have nowhere to go!
"Slocala" is not for you, Bobby.
Mildred Whitehouse

Arose and was greeted in the first place by a letter from John.
It was a long one but not very satisfactory. On the subject on which I had particularly written he is silent or, rather, evades it by complaining of my handwriting which he seems to have been able to read in every place except in that one. I am sorry for the result as I understand precisely how to take this way of his. I shall therefore close the subject. After breakfast I read my usual quantity of Paley which closes what we studied during the last term.
I then went to my Mother's room and found her much better. She was preparing to go to town and to go through much labour in the day. She has invited Miss Elizabeth to go to Washington this Winter. After she had gone I went and wrote my Journal, in the middle of it I was surprised by a visit from my classmate, Charles Foster. He had brought a Miss Garland here to see Abby. He is an exceeding good natured, pleasant sort of a young man, although not one of my intimates. I like his manners which are very unassuming but he has too little energy or character of any kind to please me. He dined and spent part of the afternoon here and I was quite rejoiced to have such a windfall for company. She is an exceeding forward, pert young miss who has an idea that every body admires her. She might do as a little

"piquante sauce" for a half an hour's amusement but I should enter a vehement protest against her manners. They went away at four and I spent the rest of the afternoon reading more of the famous Essays called the Crisis written by Thomas Paine
which are said to have had such powerful effect in the time of our revolution. They are an imitation of Junius in coarser style and although evidently well adapted to excite a people are not to be recommended for imitation. I was struck at his frequent calls upon God, that God whom he afterwards forsook.
After tea I went in and sat with my Grandfather. I was not in a talking mood and he is so but seldom now so that I spent, I might almost say, two silent hours. Suffice it, they hung like lead upon me. I afterwards had some conversation with my Uncle about the election and then retired. George disturbed me unexpectedly late in the night. X.

But, there wasn't a way for me to teach that software this time. So, I thought I could do some easy brag books. They turned out really great and the ladies were so proud of themselves. I get a lot of joy from watching people be proud of their crafts! We did 5 projects over a 6 week period. Here's the first one.

NBA vs. NHL playoffs: NHL way out in front
Columnist Randy Youngman (pictured) discusses the difference between the NBA and NHL postseason in terms of excitement.
Everyone knew the top-seeded Lakers would begin their NBA title defense by knocking off the eighth-seeded Thunder, no matter how many broken fingers, strained Achilles' tendons, sprained thumbs and retinal surgeries were being treated by the home team's doctors and trainers.
Even the Las Vegas oddsmakers knew what to expect. The Lakers were favored by 71/2 points and won by eight points.
Huge upsets are rare, because seeding and home-court advantage are everything in the NBA playoffs. Not so in the NHL, where seeding and home ice are refreshingly irrelevant.
The Ducks were the No. 8 seed last year when they upset the San Jose Sharks, the NHL's best team, in the first round. The Ducks were the No. 7 seed in 2003, when they upset the top two seeds and went all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals.
No. 8 Edmonton upset No. 1 Detroit in 2006. No. 8 San Jose toppled No. 1 St. Louis in 2000. No. 8 Montreal upset No. 1 Boston in 2002. And don't forget the No. 7 Kings upsetting No. 2 Detroit in 2001.
And who knows what's going to happen in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, because the top four seeds in each conference lost one of their first two home games.
The Washington Capitals, the top team in the Eastern Conference, had to go overtime in both home games against No. 8 seed Montreal in order to earn a split. The San Jose Sharks, the top team in the West, needed overtime in the second home game to avoid going 0-2 against No. 8 seed Colorado

McIlroy calls Wozniacki his girlfriend, Ana Ivanovic and I are looking forward to the US Open and win another Virtua Tennis 4 goodie bag!
It has been a while since I last wrote a blog entry for TennisGrandstand. I have been on vacations and what good is a vacation if you take your laptop with workstuff with you? It's just not a vacation. Did you go on vacations? If so, how was the weather? I hope a lot less rainy than mine was.
Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy make it official
Caroline Wozniacki has been struggling for quite a while now. She hasn't won a tournament since April and her performances at the French Open and Wimbledon weren't exactly, to put it mildly, of high quality. Then the US Open series started and two second round losses at the Cincinnati Open and the Rogers Cup versus Roberta Vinci and America's upcoming talent Christina McHale followed in quick succession. But this week everything seems to be good. Caroline Wozniacki made to the finals of New Haven and won in straight sets versus Czech Petra Cetkovska 6-4 , 6-1.
Rory McIlroy confirmed that Caro and him are dating by telling the press that you can "refer to her as my girlfriend now."
Ana Ivanovic arrives in New York and shows off US Open attire
Has anyone kept up with Ana Ivanovic lately? She is making quantum leaps since she hired coach Nigel Sears. And it is as I have been saying for years now: Girl's got game! Just got to have the right coach to put the finishing touches on her style. Just like myself, Ana is excited for the US Open 2011.
It's always great to be back in New York and go to some of my favourite restaurants here. Practice has been going well this week – let's just hope the weather holds up. Now that the draw is out, the excitement is even greater…
And I am not just excited because I think Ana can survive the first week but also because I like her US Open dress. For more information you can always take a look at Ana Ivanovic' official Facebook Page.
Bondi Bands: Because I hate it when sweat gets in my eyes!
Don't you just hate it when you are playing a sport intensely and sweat gets in your eyes. You spend more time whiping the sweat off your forehead instead of actually doing what you are supposed to do: Play the sports! That's why I started to use Bondi Bands. Bondi Band is awesome athletic headwear for men, women and children. The headband that has no slip and no drip.
More contests: Win a Virtua Tennis 4 goodie bag!
The last time it was won by Adilson Strahotski! The man answered the question correctly and was the first one to reply so he won. But now I have a new contest. You can win the same goodie bag but this time I am changing the contest a little. Join the TennisGrandstand – Unique Tennis Perspectives Facebook page and tell me why you of all people should get the goodie bag!
Thanks to Sega for making it possible!

"It's not really one of those goals you set as a little boy, but, man, it's been quite a career. And quite a month." – Roger Federer, who won his sixth Wimbledon title, and 15th Grand Slam tournament crown, just four weeks after capturing his first French Open title.
"He's a legend. Now he's an icon." – Pete Sampras, talking about Roger Federer after the Swiss star broke Sampras' Grand Slam tournament victory record of 14 titles.
"Sorry, Pete, I tried to hold him off." – Losing finalist Andy Roddick, apologizing to compatriot Pete Sampras.
"I'd rather definitely be number two and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be number one and not have any. I don't know what to do to be number one. I don't even care anymore." – Serena Williams, who won Wimbledon to go along with her 2009 Australian Open and 2008 US Open titles, yet is ranked number two in the world.
"Do I feel invincible? I'd like to say yes, but I really do work at it." – Venus Williams, after winning her semifinal but before losing the title match to her sister Serena.
"I think I will beat him in a marathon easy." – Robin Soderling, on meeting Roger Federer in another sport after losing to the Swiss star for the 11th straight time.
"Oh, it is only because he is better than everybody else. That's it." – Ivo Karlovic, when asked about Roger Federer's secret for success.
"I don't play to break records but it's great to have them." – Roger Federer.
"It's a wonderful achievement. She's played so well so many times. You know, a lot of the times actually at my expense." – Venus Williams, on her sister Serena winning an 11th Grand Slam tournament title by beating Venus in the final.
"There's no easy [way] to losing, especially when it's so close to the crown. Either way, it's not easy. " – Venus Williams.
"One of the first things I noticed was our name on the board, on the big plaque. Now we get it twice. It's obviously going to be special to come back next year and see that." – Daniel Nestor, after teaming with Nenad Zimonjic to win their second straight Wimbledon men's doubles title.
"It's a game of inches and when you're playing two guys who are serving close to 130 (mph), and you're not getting a lot of sniffs on your return, it's a dice roll. They were the better team today and I have to give them a lot of credit." – Bob Bryan, on losing the men's doubles final.
"I was Santa Claus on the court, serving so many double-faults." – Dinara Safina, after overcoming 15 double-faults to beat Sabine Lisicki in the quarterfinals.
"I wasn't sure if it's Serena or Andy Roddick on the other side of the net, 125 mph all the time." Elena Dementieva, on Serena Williams' big serves in their semifinal match.
"Venus played as if she had some place to go and she was in a major league hurry to get a great dinner." – Father Richard Williams, on Venus' 51-minutes semifinal victory over Dinara Safina.
"I think she gave me a pretty good lesson today." – Dinara Safina, after losing to Venus Williams in 51 minutes.
"I'm still scared of Serena Williams. I find her very intimidating." – Laura Robson, a 15-year-old from Britain, talking about the ladies' locker room at Wimbledon.
"Roof! Roof! Roof!" –Centre Court crowd chanting as the new retractable roof was closed for the first time when a light sprinkle interrupted play.
He had to work overtime to do it, but Roger Federer became the first man in history to win 15 Grand Slam tournament singles titles. His record-breaking 15th was the longest men's Grand Slam final in history at 77 games as Federer outlasted Andy Roddick 5-7 7-6 (6) 7-6 (5) 3-6 16-14. The previous record was 71 games in the 1927 Australian Championships, while the previous Wimbledon mark was 62 games last year when Rafael Nadal beat Federer. The Federer-Roddick battle also was the longest fifth set in a men's Grand Slam tournament final, breaking the old mark of 11-9 set in 1927 at Roland Garros. Federer served 50 aces, the most he has served in a match and only one behind Ivo Karlovic's Wimbledon record of 51 aces. Federer's previous best was 39 aces when he beat Janko Tipsarevic at the Australian Open in 2008.
Sisters Serena and Venus Williams tried to take home all of the hardware from Wimbledon. Serena beat Venus in the women's final, snapping the older sister's two-year reign at Wimbledon. The two then teamed up to win the women's doubles for the second time.
Ana Ivanovic will rest for at least a week after she suffered a slight tear in her left thigh during her fourth-round match at Wimbledon. The 2008 French Open champion left the court in tears after the first game of the second set against Venus Williams, who won the first set 6-1. Ivanovic is not scheduled to play again until August 3.
It took a brief shower, but Wimbledon showed off its new roof. With the crowd shouting "Roof! Roof! Roof!," the retractable roof over Centre Court was closed for the first time on the second Monday of the tournament. The light sprinkle had halted play during he second set of a match between top-ranked Dinara Safina and 2006 Wimbledon champion Amelie Mauresmo. By the time the roof was closed and the match resumed, the rain had stopped. But officials decided to keep the roof shut for the final match of the evening, Andy Murray beating Stanislas Wawrinka in a five-set match that ended at 10:39 p.m., more than an hour later than the previous record. Wimbledon joins the Australian Open as the only two Grand Slam tournaments with roofs. The Australian Open has roofs over its two main courts and plans to cover a third. The French Open plans on having a roof over its center court by 2011, while the US Open is looking into the possibility of covering a court.
Twenty-eight staff members at Wimbledon were asked to stay at home because they were suspected of having swine flu. Two players – Michal Mertinak and Filip Polasek – also showed symptoms of the world-wide ailment. Mertinak withdrew from the second round of the mixed doubles because he was not feeling well. The two players were sharing a hotel room in London. All England Club spokesman Henry O'Grady said that despite the precautions, no one at Wimbledon is known to have swine flu.
India's Prakash Amritraj and Pakistan's Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi hope their recent play will allow them to form a full-time doubles partnership. In only their third tournament together, Amritraj and Qureshi reached the third round before falling to the fourth-seeded team of Mark Knowles and Mahesh Bhupathi 6-4 5-7 7-6 (3) 6-0. "I'm glad we had these two weeks as a team," Amritraj said. "I think we should take this partnership forward and we're definitely a team to be reckoned with."
Women's tennis is returning to New York's Madison Square Garden, if only for one night. Four top players will compete March 1 in the second Billie Jean King Cup featuring no-ad scoring, a one-set semifinal and best-of-three final. Serena Williams won the inaugural event earlier this year, besting her sister Venus in the final. The 2008 field also included Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic. This year's four Grand Slam tournament winners will be invited to participate in next year's tournament. Serena has won the Australian Open and Wimbledon, while Svetlana Kuznetsova captured the French Open.
Rafael Nadal won't be there when Spain's Davis Cup takes on Germany in a World Group quarterfinal. Nadal, who has been struggling with tendinitis in his knees, was left off the Spanish team, just as he was for last year's final, which Spain won by defeating Argentina. Spanish captain Albert Costa has named Fernando Verdasco, Tommy Robredo, David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez for the tie that will be played on clay in Marbella, Spain, later this week.
Wimbledon quarterfinalist Ivo Karlovic and Marin Cilic will lead Croatia's Davis C up team against the United States. Croatia, which won the Davis Cup in 2005, will stage the tie on an indoor clay court in Porec, Croatia. Led by Wimbledon finalist Andy Roddick, the American team includes James Black and brothers Bob and Mike Bryan, marking the 12th time in the last 13 Davis Cup contests that the same quartet of players will be together. Croatia has beaten the United States twice in Davis Cup competition.
Andre Agassi will play World Team Tennis this summer for the Philadelphia Freedoms. He will play at home on July 10 against the Boston Lobsters and at Newport Beach, California, on July 17. While Agassi played World Team Tennis before – for the Sacramento Capitals from 2002-04 – there will be two veterans stars making their WTT debuts. Michael Chang will play for the Capitals, while Kim Clijsters will suit up for two matches with the St. Louis Aces. Clijsters plans to return to the WTA Tour after a two-year retirement. Other stars playing this season include Serena Williams (Washington, DC), Venus Williams (Philadelphia), Maria Sharapova (Newport Beach), Martina Navratilova (Boston) and John McEnroe (New York). WTT is getting a boost this summer from its new partnership with the United States Tennis Association and a new team in New York City. The USTA has become a 25 percent owner of the league in an effort to expand the USTA Junior Team Tennis program.
The Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Award will be awarded by the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum (ITHFM) to Tennis Channel for its ongoing contributions to tennis. The award will be given at the 28th annual "Legends Ball" on Friday, September 11, in New York City. The special night will also honor a host of tennis luminaries, including Rod Laver, who will receive a special Life Trustee Award, and the Hall of Fame Induction Class of 2009: Donald Dell, Andres Gimeno, the late Dr. Robert Johnson and Monica Seles. The Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Award was created in honor of an individual whose passion and generosity for the game of tennis inspired others to contribute to the advancement of the sport. Cullman served as president and chairman of the ITHFM from 1982-88. Previous winners of the award include BNP Paribas, Rolex and Sony Ericsson. Tennis Channel will be covering its first US Open this year. The network also covers Wimbledon, the French Open and Australia Open in high definition, as well as the US Open Series, Davis Cup, ATP Masters series, fEd Cup and top-tier Sony Ericsson WTA Tour championship competitions.
Anna Kournikova won't be playing World Team Tennis this season. The Russian star has been sidelined with a wrist injury. A WTT spokesperson said Kournikova made her decision after experiencing pain from tenosvnovitis while practicing for what would have been her seventh season with the league. The St. Louis Aces player has not responded to therapy or a series of cortisone shots. But while she's unable to play, Kournikova plans to travel with her team to matches in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Springfield and St. Louis.

The first in a few posts on yuppie food bliss. About 5 blocks from my house is the Piedmont Grocery, the local grocery store. Amazingly, it's been there for 100 years. And while it's prices aren't the cheapest, I adore it. They carry the highest quality meats, produce, and dairy, the staff their is remarkably personable, and the store is clearly very much a part of its community (from the crowded bulletin board postings to the "customer appreciation day" with lots of amazing tastings (including Niman Ranch bacon, organic egg omelettes, fresh apple pie, etc.) to the fact that a good quarter of its clientele are over 70 years old and have clearly been shopping here forever). The following posts follow on experiences I've had at the Piedmont Grocery.

A bromide is a chemical compound containing a bromide ion or ligand. This is a bromine atom with an ionic charge of −1 (Br−); for example, in caesium bromide, caesium cations (Cs+) are electrically attracted to bromide anions (Br−) to form the electrically neutral ionic compound CsBr. The term "bromide" can also refer to a bromine atom with an oxidation number of −1 in covalent compounds such as sulfur dibromide (SBr2).
Natural occurrence[edit]
Bromide is present in typical seawater (35 PSU) with a concentration of around 65 mg/L, which is around 0.2% of all dissolved salts. Seafoods and deep sea plants generally have high levels of bromide, while foods derived from land have variable amounts.
One can test for a bromide ion by adding excess dilute HNO3 followed by dilute aqueous AgNO3 solution. The formation of creamy silver bromide precipitate confirms the existence of bromides.
Medical uses[edit]
Bromide compounds, especially potassium bromide, were frequently used as sedatives in the 19th and early 20th century. Their use in over-the-counter sedatives and headache remedies (such as Bromo-Seltzer) in the United States extended to 1975, when bromides were withdrawn as ingredients, due to chronic toxicity.[3]
This use gave the word "bromide" its colloquial connotation of a boring cliché, a bit of conventional wisdom overused as a calming phrase, or verbal sedative.[4]
The bromide ion is antiepileptic, and bromide salts are still used as such, particularly in veterinary medicine. Bromide ion is excreted by the kidneys. The half-life of bromide in the human body (12 days) is long compared with many pharmaceuticals, making dosing difficult to adjust (a new dose may require several months to reach equilibrium). Bromide ion concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid are about 30% of those in blood, and are strongly influenced by the body's chloride intake and metabolism.[5]
Since bromide is still used in veterinary medicine (particularly to treat seizures in dogs) in the United States, veterinary diagnostic labs can routinely measure blood bromide levels. However, this is not a conventional test in human medicine in the U.S., since there are no FDA-approved uses for bromide, and (as noted) it is no longer available in over-the-counter sedatives. Therapeutic bromide levels are measured in European countries like Germany, where bromide is still used therapeutically in human epilepsy.
Chronic toxicity from bromide can result in bromism, a syndrome with multiple neurological symptoms. Bromide toxicity can also cause a type of skin eruption. See potassium bromide.
Lithium bromide was used as a sedative beginning in the early 1900s, but it fell into disfavor in the 1940s, possibly due to the rising popularity of safer and more efficient sedatives (specifically, barbiturates) and when some heart patients died after using a salt substitute (see lithium chloride).[6] Like lithium carbonate and lithium chloride it was used as treatment for bipolar disorder.
It has been said that during World War I, British soldiers were given bromide to curb their sexual urges,[7] although this is not well supported by documentation, and has been disputed as an urban myth, as the sedative effects of bromide would have hampered military performance. Lord Dunsany mentions a soldier being given bromide as a sedative for nervous exhaustion and overwork in his play Fame and the Poet (1919).[8]
In biology[edit]
According to one study, bromine (as bromide) is an essential cofactor in the peroxidasin catalysis of sulfilimine crosslinks in collagen IV. This post-translational modification occurs in all animals, and bromine is an essential trace element for humans.[9]
Bromide is needed by eosinophils (white blood cells of the granulocyte class, specialized for dealing with multi-cellular parasites), which use it to generate antiparasitic brominating compounds such as hypobromite, by the action of eosinophil peroxidase, a haloperoxidase enzyme which is able to use chloride, but preferentially uses bromide when available.[10] Other than its role in collagen IV production and its facultative use in eosinophils by the body, bromide is not known in other cases necessary for animal life, as its functions may generally be replaced (though in some cases not as well) by chloride. Land plants do not use bromide.
Bromide salts are also sometimes used in hot tubs and spas as mild germicidal agents, using the action of an added oxidizing agent to generate in situ hypobromite, in a similar fashion to the peroxidase in eosinophils.
Bromide is perhaps a minor necessary nutrient for collagen IV-producing animals in the sea. However, a few sea animals, such as Murex snails, use bromide to make organic compounds. Bromide ion is also heavily concentrated by some species of ocean algae, which construct methyl bromide and a great number of bromoorganic compounds with it, using the unusual enzymes called vanadium bromoperoxidases to do these reactions.
The average concentration of bromide in human blood in Queensland, Australia is 5.3±1.4 mg/L and varies with age and gender.[11] Much higher levels may indicate exposure to brominated chemicals (e.g. methyl bromide). However, since bromide occurs in relatively high concentration in seawater and many types of seafood, bromide concentrations in the blood are heavily influenced by seafood contributions to the diet.

Product description
Our shallow casserole pans are guaranteed to become a firm favourite in any kitchen. Especially since they are so practical and talented: fry your meat, pour in your sauce and cook slowly on the hob or in the oven – all in one go. Who needs a frying pan and a deep casserole pan when you can do everything in the one pan: tender, succulent stews and tasty beef casseroles have never been easier. Thanks to the raised rim, hardly any fat splashes over, and only a small amount of liquid is needed for stewing. At the same time, the rim is lower than on the deep casserole pans, allowing liquids to evaporate faster and meat to be turned easily. Made from rust-free Cromargan® stainless steel and featuring a TransTherm® universal base, WMF shallow casserole pans are suitable for use on all hobs, including induction. The pans are also available in cast aluminium as well as various sizes with matching glass or stainless steel lids.

Robert Glasper and Jill Scott just released the video for their new single "Calls." It's the lead song off Glasper's upcoming album Black Radio 2, which hits stores on October 29th.
Related: Go Inside Will Smith's $2.5M Two-Story Trailer
The video starts off with Scott, dressed in '50s attire, patiently waiting for a red stop light to change, and it never does. She leaves her car in search of Glasper, whom she finds in an art gallery playing his piano. While they are reconnecting, a mysterious wolf appears, but eventually runs away. Both Scott and Glasper stroll back to the car where we find out Glasper has the magic button to make time move on. He changes the red light and they drive off. Confused? That's okay. Just watch. It's worth it!
Check out the artsy and unique video above.

Is God a Democrat? A Republican? Was Jesus a conservative, liberal, socialist, or libertarian? Those are jarring questions. Yet, because faith informs one's values and values inform one's political leanings, it is understandable why religion and politics often intersect and overlap. And because there are myriad different concepts of Deity (hence, the thousands of sects plus varying degrees of nonbelief in the world) and many divergent political beliefs (so that even within each Christian denomination there are adherents spread across the political spectrum) the inevitable result is friction, contention, and disagreement.
Can we agree on this at least? Let's agree that those who worship the Creator and accept the Savior should let His redeeming grace lift us higher instead of trying to squeeze him into limited and limiting human beliefs. Neither God nor Jesus can be reduced to any human philosophy, political or otherwise. Politics is human; God is divine. The human is the realm of mortal, material, flawed, and imperfect beings where many wills collide, compete, and clash; the divine is the realm of the immortal, spiritual, perfect Holy One where there is but one will. For those who find this phraseology problematical, I apologize; it's often difficult to express spiritual concepts with mere human language, and even with the clearest communication there are often different slants on these transcendent concepts. Let's just say that none of us should be overly confident that we have the infinite God and His Son figured out, when even Jesus' own disciples, who abode with him for three years, repeatedly didn't "get it."
Christians have many different opinions about what constitutes good government. Jesus said that his "kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36). That marvelous statement still leaves an important question unanswered: As long as we live in this world, what kind of civil government is right for humankind? The Bible does not contain an explicit blueprint for government. It does, however, provide abundant guidance and clear precepts for moral conduct in our thoughts and deeds that should influence our politics. Liberty, justice, charity, right, and wrong are dominant themes throughout the Bible. The political challenge is to get them in the right balance. In I Samuel, chapter 8, it is plain that the highest form of government would be for the people to follow God's laws, and that any human king (and by extension, human government in general) will be prone to abusing the people under its authority.
Just how much power a human government should have has been a perennially vexing problem ever since. Founding Father James Madison famously wrote in Federalist No. 51, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." Alas, of course, men are not angels, so how much external government do they need? Robert Charles Winthrop, erstwhile Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives (1847-1849), stated, "Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either via power within them, or by a power without them; either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet."
Personally, I prefer the Bible to the bayonet. Consequently, I think that America's Founding Fathers—despite their differing understandings of the Christian religion—came pretty close to solving the problem of government correctly. In the Declaration of Independence they affirmed that government's raison d'être and sole legitimate function is to preserve, protect, and uphold man's God-given unalienable rights. The key principle in governmental administration was to be negative law—that is, the government should enforce the essential laws outlined in the Mosaic Decalogue—and not the "positive law
Many American Christians have a different opinion about the proper role of government today. Some desire to expand the scope of government as strongly as I favor shrinking it to the size our founders envisioned. And I must concede the possibility that we living in America today don't deserve the limited government that our founders established. Perhaps Joseph de Maistre was at least partly right when he wrote, "Every country has the government it deserves." John Adams
Christians hold many opinions about the proper role of government today. Perhaps the only point we can agree upon universally is that the only perfect government is found in the kingdom of heaven.

Tonight, Tonight: No Age at Sons of Hermann Hall, Naysayer at Rubber Gloves
A couple of great touring shows highlight tonight's musical offerings, the second of which offers up some fantastic local support...
No Age and Rene Hell at Sons of Hermann Hall
Noise just doesn't get much better than Everything in Between, the powerful 2010 effort from Los Angeles' No Age. On previous efforts, the dynamic duo of Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt has successfully paid homage to Sonic Youth and The Fall, but everything really came together on Everything. Songs such as "Chem Trails" and "Fever Dreaming" maintain No Age's aggressive nature, but enough melodic elements are still featured to entice listeners beyond the punk spectrum. Both live and recorded, the music of No Age is as chaotic as it is beautiful. And that's saying something.
Naysayer, Power Trip, Take Offense and Humanerror at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio
Virginia's Naysayer may get some fairly sizable critical kudos for its brand of punk noise, but Power Trip's Riley Gale may well be the best frontperson of any local band, period. The fact that Gale's band rocks like all mighty hell only adds to the singer's angst-filled yowling. Early in 2010, Power Trip released the Armageddon Blues EP, an angry statement of purpose that featured a title cut that went well beyond the typical punk/metal trappings. Hopefully, Gale and crew are readying a full-length release that will prove as satisfying as the band's earlier EP. Adding to tonight's shouting and pointing will be California's Take Offense and our own Humanerror. Bring a sufficient supply of ear plugs and pain killers.

you try hard to create us more enemies, but this one is fairy tail.Reader comment on item: Does Turkey Still Belong in NATO? Submitted by yasemin (Turkey), Apr 19, 2009 at 23:30 İanus, The fairy tale you told is not true. 1. Turkish Jews investigated Tuncay Guney immediately and told that he is not a Rabbi in Canada. But if he was or is, would and will change nothing 2. Many things are fake with Tuncay Guney, he used to be a fundamentalist Muslim working for Fetullah Gulen. Now he turns out to be a Rabbi in Canada, and who knows what tomorrow. No one in our community, Muslim or non-Muslim, regard him as important. A few journelist said Tuncay Guney works for CIA. No one cares about these. We here learned to be strong against all different kinds of facts or agitations, domestic or foreign. We sometimes have to stand strong even against our own governments' desires. Ataturk's secular, democratic Republic is our seed, and will always stay like that. 3. You try very hard... but, we are not enemies with İsrael. What Erdogan said in Davos was a very exaggerated show to the Arab World. Of course we do not want them to kill Palastinian children, but this does not make us enemies. Anyway you may keep on trying. Try harder and harder... until everybody in the world hates each other.

___says Vick to start next game after Eagles bye
NFL star tackles poverty in Africa
2010 NFL Draft Round 1

PFT Daily: Week 7 mailbag
Andy Reid, Mark Hittner /
By TERESA M. WALKER
updated 6:21 p.m. ET Oct. 24, 2010
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Philadelphia coach Andy Reid is switching quarterbacks again and says Michael Vick will start Nov. 7 against Indianapolis in the Eagles' next game after their bye week.
Kevin Kolb made his third straight start Sunday, and the Eagles lost 37-19 to Tennessee. Kolb threw for 231 yards and was intercepted twice. He also lost a fumble at the Tennessee 3 in the third quarter.
Vick was the third quarterback against Tennessee as he recovered from injured rib cartilage.
Story continues below ↓advertisement | your ad here
Asked who his starter would be after the Eagles' bye, Reid was short.
"It's Mike," Reid said.
Vick said in the locker room that he wouldn't know until he got hit whether he was 100 percent or not, but his ribs felt good.
"I've got some time to heal, some more time to get stronger. If they really needed me down the line, I probably could have (played)," Vick said. "If Kevin or Mike (Kafka) would have went down, I could have gotten through."
Kolb began the season as the Eagles' starter after they traded away Donovan McNabb. But he suffered a concussion in the opener and Vick played so well in his place that he remained the starter when Kolb returned.
Then Vick, the NFC's top-rated passer at 108.8, got hurt himself Oct. 3 in a loss to Washington.
Kolb, the NFC's second-rated passer coming into Sunday, started at San Francisco and at home against Atlanta. The Eagles won both games, and Kolb was named NFC offensive player of the week after throwing for 326 yards in the win over Atlanta.
But Kolb was 26 of 48 against Tennessee. His first interception came a play after safety Quintin Mikell stripped Titans quarterback Kerry Collins of the ball in the second quarter. He lost the fumble at the Titans 3 in the third quarter, and he was intercepted to end the game. That was returned 41 yards for a touchdown as time expired.
Reid said Kolb was up and down Sunday.
"He had some good plays, phenomenal plays," Reid said. "We've got to continue to work with the pressure and make sure that we protect him. We've got to make sure we give him the right plays."
Kolb was disappointed to hear Vick would start Nov. 7 when Indianapolis visits the Eagles.
"I enjoy playing out there, and I want to continue to play. But, I'll say it again, I always trust him (Reid). And I trust him now," Kolb said.

No action taken by BOC after closed session on personnel; Taylor, Moore asked to join meeting
Display comments as
(Linear | Threaded)
maybe there going to finish cleaning up the mess in Banks County Fire Dept ?
Maybe if you learn to spell corectly, someone may actually take you seriously.
If I were going to make a comment about spelling - I would make sure that I spelled each word CORRECTLY!
Instead of criticizing each other about spelling errors lets see if anyone can find out what Dalton and Turk have going on related to the fire department. Both of these commissioners have a personal agenda related to the fire department. I would like to know what the plan is in an open meeting in front of the citizens/taxpayers instead of having so many closed session meetings and then holding no open session. I think the citizens have a right to know what the BOC is planning.
Turk..... Funny you should say that name. people say that on top of this nice big salary increase, Turk is reluctant to give up his FIREMAN discount given by many of the restaurants in the Banks Crossing Area. I was under the assumption that when he took this job he was no longer part of the BCFD?????? Could someone clarify this for me... Thanks

By Chris Boyce, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Christopher Boyce, the subject of the 1985 movie "The Falcon and the Snowman," spent 25 years in federal prison for providing U.S. intelligence secrets to the Soviet Union. His book, "The Falcon and The Snowman: American Sons," which was co-authored by Cait Boyce and Vince Font, is scheduled for release on August 20. Follow Chris Boyce on Twitter: @CodenameFalcon
(CNN) - It was with a heavy heart that I heard Edward Snowden has been granted, and apparently accepted, temporary asylum in Russia for one year. Short of locking him naked in solitary confinement as an example to other leakers, as was done to Bradley Manning, Russia is exactly where the American intelligence community wants Snowden.
How better to discredit Snowden's warnings of the threat posed to civil liberties by our ever-growing surveillance state than to ceaselessly point out that he has found sanctuary in the arms of the FSB, the successor to the KGB? I suspect this latest development will nix any possibility of reform of domestic surveillance operations coming out of the House Judiciary Committee.
FULL STORYWhat started as an unprecedented move to close almost two dozen diplomatic posts for a day has broadened to week-long closures for most of them as the United States mulls the threat of a possible attack.
A trio of factors prompted officials to extend most of its embassy and consulate closures until Saturday: an intercepted message among senior al Qaeda operatives, the end of Ramadan, and concerns over several major prison breaks in the region.
Originally, officials decided to close 22 embassies and consulates this past Sunday - a day when they would normally be open for business.
But Sunday afternoon, the State Department extended embassy and consulate closures in 15 of the locations through Saturday, and added four other posts - all in Africa - to the list. This brings the total to 19.
FULL STORYCNN National Security Analyst Fran Townsend tells CNN's Chris Cuomo what the latest security and terror threat warnings mean both here at home and abroad.

Today was what seemed like the first dry day in weeks, and it happened to fall on the day of this hike that I was leading for Schenectady ADK, so 12 of us headed north to try to find the trailhead for Crane Mt. There's a confusing maze of roads in that area, but with Google's help, we found our way. Though it's only 1.4 miles from the trailhead to the summit, it's a very steep climb, and the sweeping views definitely need to be earned.
After lunch on the summit, we descended to Crane Mountain Pond far below, but still a considerable height above the trailhead.
Several of the group went for a swim off the rocks surrounding the pond.
Then we headed for a brief foray up Crane's untrailed northwest ridge, seen across the pond in the second summit picture above. Last year on this trip, we found blueberries by the bagful up there. This year we seemed to be a little late, and came away with only a few, but also had some more interesting views. The view of Crane back across the pond made it worth this extra excursion.
After returning to the pond and its outlet, the descent to the cars was almost as steep as the earlier ascent, and we were all glad to finally reach some flat walking. Ice cream in Warrensburg capped off a great day.

Alanna has got Jonathon safe at home, and is trying to keep him that way. But, what happens when he falls asleep during the day and Alanna goes exploring? Find out what she will do when she finds his secret room, locked and the mess inside it. *Sad chapter...:( Oh well, I haven't worked on this story in awhile and this is an old chapter I never uploaded. Sorry faithful follwoers/watchers. But, now it's here
Just as always, this stroy is better read then summarized. by now you should have an idea of the story, so just go read it. Leave a comment too please.
Same as before, promise to be my usual and getting more into the romance.
Okay, so this new one has a lot of explaining in it about how and when and where concerning Julian's changes. Also there is a little special something at the beginning: Will she allow it or will he back out? Somewhat of a cliffhanger might be here, your choice on how badly you want to find out the rest.
This chapter is finally revised, due to the * by the name. Lok for the * by the name of others chpaters in my gallery to see if they're revised. This is the oldest story here, but my writing haas drastically changed and supposedly improved since two years ago. Yay! This is the final product of this little project I first took on as a fun writing excercise. Hope my fans like it. In this chapter you can meet the characters. But only one character holds the key to Julian's terrible illness and its supposed 'cure'. This is slightly dark, and I wouldn't like readers to go past chapter two until I have the others revised, so you can judge my current writing/style level.
Okay, this is the story i promised to invovle Christainty, Satanism and Paganism as one religion. Note: this chapter doesn't say anything about my false religion, just saying that I do discredit Christanity in this story. This first part just introduces my main character, leaving you wanting more, if you read. Please comment, I need comments, good or critique, just no flames, please. However, I have had two very skilled editor/writers look over thi three times and have perefected this part, so there won't be much to critque. Goood luck you critics and enjoy all loyal readers!
The final question is answered: Who was Julian bit by?Well, this is the last chapter. If you have any idea on how to make it longer, than do tell. I might figure a way to make another chapter or make a follow up story on this or something,but probably not. Enjoy everyone! Please comment on how you like it, not grammar and such.
Alright, I put in more to explain some major things about the reason for her struggles in a time not her own. But as always, it's more cryptic than explanitory. Enjoy :-) As of now, Alanna must welcome Selene's light into her body and slip out of her house once more. She hopfully gets out without trouble.
Clip of story: A light grey wolf rushed out of the bushes at that exact moment and kicked its hind legs, sending it flying towards Jake. The animal had its mouth wide open, ready to bite into flesh. However, Dysear had been at just the right angle to see the wolf coming before it leapt off its feet . She pushed Jake down onto the ground just in time to see the wolf a foot from coming in contact with her shoulder. Dysear ducked her head and held down Jake's at the same time. Her actions allowed the wolf to sail over, and past their bodies, then collide with the firm ground of the forest. Note: Bisexual warning on this first chapter, if not more of the story. This story is based off my cruel reality. Not! It includes my best friend, his current girl friend, an interest of someone's and myself. I kind of have a love square going on, so if you don't want to get confused or pissed off at me for doing so, then go to a different story of mine. This story is usually written while I'm in a state of suspension of raging emotions. So it should be as good if not better than The Lost Mind, because that story was also written from my emotions. I hope you enjoy it, I know it helps me. Please, no grammar critique unless it's really bad grammar. Otherwise, I'd love comments on story development, character development and anything else.
To be honest, although I haven't written anything to post for the longest time, I don't feel I could summarize this little bit of a story. Let's just say I promise to be ther's going to be my usual creatures, but this time I have a romance to go with them.
Warning: There is cutter themes here and for most of this story forward. Dysear and Jake come back from the clearing. Davyn freaks out about Dysear;s shoulder and immediately goes to help. But, what's strange is he doesn't remember how she got the wound. More than that happens, but you'll have to read to find out!
Don't read, this is another cliff hanger and I won't be editing this for a while. I do have a life other than writing at the moment.
Yes, another revised chapter, but you'll have to stop after reading this chapter until chpater three and others have been revised. You will know when they have a * by the name. We learn the secret keeper's name in this chapter, but can she stop Julian from doing something he'd regret later?
