phoenix closing advisors resale of timeshare with seemingly elaborate paperwork with $ needed time after time for closing. I lost a lot. They are good actors; I was far to trusting phoenix arizona
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have several documents showing the request for more $ to satisfy sale of time share in Mexico. Unfortuantely, bulk of my research came after the fact. I now see I am part of a big scheme from a Canadian investor. I had many conversations along the way with these folks: family conversation, death of my origianl agent, etc. I must have been thought of as a prime sucker. They sound very convincing and I, like others, found the "answer" to a prayer for immediate cash needs. It wiped out a huge chunck of my savings.
Vector Marketing Solutions was the initiator contact. I jumped thru hoops to make this happen, thinking things would close. I am willing to join forces if there are enough folks for a class action law suit or whatever is a solution. I do not want anyone else to fall to such prey!!!

Review: Pleasure: The Shadowdwellers
Title: Pleasure: The Shadowdwellers
Author: Jacquelyn Frank
Page Count: 330 pages
Publisher: Zebra Paranormal Romance
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Year of Publication: 2009
50 words or less: The third book in the Shadowdwellers series tells the story of Sagan, the kidnapped priest from the last installment, and Malaya and Guin, the Chancellor of the Shadowdweller society and her bodyguard, respectively. Evil Acadian is on the loose, drama unfolds, deals are struck, plans are made, politics are played.
Jacquelyn Frank is easily one of my favorite authors of paranormal romance. At this point I've read everything she's had published to date and I've truly enjoyed all of her offerings so far.
For the most part, Pleasure was no exception. Each book in the Shadowdweller series, in addition to being a romance novel in every sense, clued the reader in to a certain aspect of Shadowdweller society; Ecstasy introduced us to their culture and their world, Rapture shared their religion and their spiritual beliefs, and now Pleasure worked to shed some light on the politics that governed this admittedly unstable world. Ms. Frank's writing is lyrical without being boring, poetic without being trite, and I found the conversations between the characters to easily be my favorite part of the whole story.
That doesn't mean that Pleasure is a perfect book, however. In both stories, there's a definite undercurrent of feeling insecure and inferior, of being unworthy, and of ignoring one's accomplishments in the face of imagined character flaws, and that meant that the train to Angstytown left on a fairly regular basis. Ultimately, those elements were used to make important things happen in the story, which is a definite good thing, because personally I can only read so much of that before I start to lose interest.
There also was, and you don't catch me saying this too often, perhaps a little too much bedroom action in this particular book. I don't have qualms about the quantity or frequency of sex scenes in books like some reviewers out there, but in this particular case I felt like sex scenes were what was going on while we were waiting for actual events that were important to the story line to get around to happening. This was more prevalent in Sagan's story than in Guin and Malaya's, but still.
In spite of all that, I read Pleasure in one sitting and wasn't sorry I'd spent the money to buy the book. I'd recommend this series to anyone who was looking to explore paranormal romance but wasn't sure where to start, and also to anyone who enjoys PNR but is kind of tired of the vampire/werewolf experience that's so popular right now.
As a side note, it bears mentioning that although there are two stories in this volume, this isn't a story anthology; rather, Pleasure reads more like a play, with Act I featuring Sagan and Act II featuring Guin and Malaya. The stories happen concurrently, but are not separate from each other.
If you're interested in reading Pleasure, I highly recommend starting with the beginning of the series, which starts in Ecstasy. I really don't think the series will make much sense or be much fun if you start with the third installment. The end of Pleasure made it seem like future installments were a possibility; I'd definitely read them if they did happen.

This area leads to two storage rooms with everything in labeled plastic totes. I previously did alot of crafts with groups of kids and have ALOT of crafting items in the one. On the door to that storage room is a Dry Erase Board for my "Thinking/ planning". One door has a cork board and I keep things I plan on doing hung there. I have a large book case for my quilt books facing towards the inside of my sewing area so that the back of the shelving has felt for a smaller design area.
You are so lucky to have all that space. Oh, and I hadn''t thought of the back of the door for storing things. thanks, I'll use that. I do use those hanging shoe holders in the closet for fat quarters.
Nifty thread storage on the wall. Gee - two storage rooms. Now I could go for that.

When the going gets tough, the tough - have a lie in.
Sleeping and, more specifically, dreaming, act as a 'soothing balm' to help take the sting out of bad memories, research suggests.
It is thought that a dip in stress hormones while we are dreaming allows the brain to safely work through bad experiences.
As a result, when we wake up, things really do feel better.
Californian researchers showed a group of young adults a series of images, including pictures of hungry sharks, crocodiles and bears, twice, 12 hours apart.
Half of the volunteers did the test during the day, but the other half did it at night, so they slept between viewings. Those who slept found the pictures less frightening, the journal Current Biology reports.
In addition, MRI scans showed a dramatic reduction in activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain that regulates emotions and detects potential threats.
Other tests linked the reduction in fear to a drop in the stress hormone norepinephrine, also known as noradrenaline, while in the REM, or dream, phase of sleep.
University of California researcher Matthew Walker said: "We know that during REM sleep there is a sharp decrease in levels of norepinephrine, a brain chemical associated with stress.
"By reprocessing previous emotional experiences in this neurochemically safe environment, we wake up the next day and those experiences have been softened in their emotional stress. We feel better about them, we feel we can cope.
"The dream phase of sleep provides us with a form of overnight therapy, a soothing balm that removes the sharp edges from the prior day's emotional experiences."
As well as providing clues as to why we dream, the findings shed light on post-traumatic stress disorder and its recurring nightmares.
In PTSD sufferers, high levels of noradrenaline may stop this natural 'dream therapy' from working properly - meaning traumatic experiences remain raw when they are awake and asleep.
Doctors had previously shown that a certain blood pressure drug can help reduce nightmares for those who have PTSD. The drug reduces noradrenaline as a side effect, meaning it calms the brain during REM sleep.
Dr Walker said: "This study can help explain the mysteries of why these medications help some PTSD patients and their symptoms as well as their sleep. It may also unlock new treatment avenues regarding sleep and mental illness."

Break out the shovels
Residents may be greeted by a few inches of fresh snow for the morning commute depending on overnight temperatures and the storm track.
The lakes area remains in a winter weather advisory through noon Tuesday as a significant winter storm painted a swath across the upper Midwest overnight. The National Weather Service reported the storm was creating a corridor of heavy snow from 5-8 inches in parts of north central and northeast Minnesota.
While the heaviest snowfall may fall north of the immediate Brainerd lakes area, the storm was expected to bring a wintry mix of freezing rain and light to moderate snow amounts here.
"This system will result in reduced visibility in places due to heavy snowfall rates and icy conditions where freezing rain falls," the National Weather Service in Duluth reported.
Light ice accumulations followed by snow, in some cases significant and heavy, were expected to create slippery roads and hazardous travel conditions Monday night into Tuesday. Snow was expected to develop rapidly on a line roughly from Backus to Grand Rapids and Ely.
Police scanner traffic included reports of vehicles in the ditch after dark Monday as temperatures hung on just above freezing and a mix of fog and mist persisted. By 8 p.m., Brainerd was still 33 degrees.
The mix of freezing rain and snow was expected to turn to all snow after 3 a.m. as temperatures dropped to 25 degrees. The weather service said 1-3 inches of snow may fall overnight with another inch possible Tuesday, mainly before noon.
Tuesday's high may reach 31 degrees. The chance for more snow, at 20 percent, continues Tuesday night as the temperatures drop. An overnight low of 4 degrees is expected with gusty winds up to 20 mph.
With daytime temperatures taking a nose dive Wednesday, what precipitation does fall will soon freeze in place. Wednesday's high may reach 11 degrees. Stronger winds, up to 25 mph, should make it feel even colder. Wednesday's low will likely drop below zero, perhaps as cold as 10 below. Temperatures will remain cold Thursday with a high ranging from 4 below to 1 above. Thursday's overnight low — predicted to hit 18 to 23 below — will likely bring back thoughts of last week's extended cold snap. Friday won't shake that comparison as sunny skies produce a high of 3 degrees. But expect temperatures to recover more quickly than last week as highs rebound to the mid-20s Sunday and Monday.

The strip of Interstate 495 that slices Haverhill in half is much like any other commuter stretch in eastern Massachusetts — tree-lined, suffocating, and a default motor speedway for angry locals. But take a musical ride with THE NEW HIGHWAY HYMNAL through their hometown and envision something else entirely: desert landscapes, sun-faded asphalt, and relaxed views into endless, hazy mountains. The New Hymns' latest single, "Hey Kid (Gotta' Run)," puts that vision to song — it's a slow-burning, bluesy rock séance, a long, deliberate drag of the cigarette once sparked by Jesus and Mary Chain and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. A fresh-faced group of locals you should keep an eye on , they're at T.T. the Bear's July 17, with instrumental experimental duo Motel Mattress; at the Allston DIY Fest in Ringer Park on July 23; and then they kick off day two of Deep Heaven Now IV at Precinct in Somerville on August 6. In the meantime, take a ride with the "Hey Kid (Gotta' Run)" MP3 below.

Billionaire financier Louis Bacon is buying Taos Ski Valley, a New Mexico ski resort founded by a Jew who fled Nazi Germany and whose family has owned Taos ever since.
The ski area was established in the mid-1950s by Ernie Blake, a German Jew born Ernst Hermann Bloch who emigrated from Germany in 1938 and changed his name to Blake during World War II, when he worked as a U.S. Army intelligence officer interrogating top Nazis.
Before fleeing Europe, Blake served as a Swiss Air Force pilot and is said to have been excluded from the 1936 German Olympics ice hockey team only because of his Jewish background. After moving to America, Blake worked in the winter department of Saks Fifth Avenue.
After installing its first lift, a J-bar, in 1956, Blake and his family turned what had been a forested area of the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains into a ski resort with 1,300 acres spread over 110 trails serviced by 13 lifts. The area, which tops out at about 12,500 feet, averages about 300 inches of snow per year.
Until its sale earlier this month, Taos was one of the last large family-owned ski mountains in America.
Bacon, the buyer, is the founder of Moore Capital Management, a hedge fund. Bacon owns thousands of acres of land in Colorado, Long Island and the Bahamas, and last year he helped protect 167,000 acres of ranch land in Colorado by donating conservation easements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, according to The New York Times. His fortune is estimated at $1.4 billion, according to Forbes.
The announcement regarding Taos did not disclose the amount of sale.
Despite its size and quality skiing, Taos' base area is far less developed than most similar-sized American ski resorts, and the Blake family reportedly did not have the cash to make necessary capital improvements to Taos.
"The family got together and had this big heart-to-heart about how as a ski operation we will never be able to make these improvements without risking the company," Blake's granddaughter, Adrianna Blake, said, according to the Times.
Blake died in 1989, but many of his family members still work on the mountain, and his presence is still palpable on Taos. Four ski trails are named after the German officers who tried to assassinate Hitler in July 1944, and a slope called Al's Run is named for a Jewish doctor friend of Blake's who supported the development of Taos and so loved skiing that he kept going even after a heart condition forced him to take to the slopes with an oxygen tank strapped to his back.
Blake's legacy at Taos was the subject of an award-winning JTA story in December 2011.

Date of Stay: August, 2011
Nothing fancy, just a quiet spot under the trees. A little bit rustic, bathrooms are sanitary but could use updating. The owner is very friendly and easy to deal with, treated us right. Free Wi-Fi. Coin laundry. Nearby swimming hole at the creek. Stayed in the Pacific Crest Trail hiker area, $10/person/night. Great cafe next door for breakfast & lunch.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
A nice enough place, lots of trees, grass between sites. But sites are not completely level (not bad, just expected flat) and camp roads are gravel so a bit of dust. Showers clean but private dressing areas are small and have no bench to change on. Staff very pleasant. Could use some updating, lots of potential if they spruce it up a bit.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Check in at a Shell station was very easy and friendly. Grass between level sites, a few look like long-term but were not cluttered. Easy in, easy out. Shade trees need to grow some more, not much shade in late afternoon in most sites. Has clean showers. A pleasant, quiet stay in a small American town.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
Very nice campground. Spotless restrooms and showers. Wonderful hiking trails, the cables to the peak are a fun land for hikers. The train horn didn't bother us in the motorhome, probably would wake us up if we were in a tent. Getting hot, but our campsite had a shade shelter over the table, and 50amp power for the air conditioner.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
It was very clean and very friendly. There is easy access. Our dog enjoyed the large fenced lawn area. The restrooms and showers were spotless! While the campground is well maintained, the location is not scenic but is very convenient to the freeway and services. Highly recommended.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We arrived in the evening. After navigating through the marina and repair yard, approaching the store/office we were told they were just "closing." I told them I wanted to register and they let me in but not too friendly. I told them we just wanted a place to sleep for the night and they quoted $77! We went elsewhere. WE DID NOT STAY HERE.

hi mate not sure if its the same but on my e46 i did the HID convertion 10k bulbs (slight blue) and when fitted they worked fine with engine off ignition on when i started the engine they would flick/go out and sometimes never come back on untill i was to restart the engine so i tried all the things you have in the the post before still no joy i was getting quite pi**ed that this time so looked it up on the net and what i found some hid bulb and ballasts need direct current to work and some bmw's which was mine runs as alternating current(or it could be the other way around) so i managed to get hold of a current convertor fitted them between the ballast and power supply and they worked fine and run with no problems but my kit was an after market so not sure if its the same the converter i used was
dont be put off by the title of the ebay post if you scrol down and read the blog it says they stop lights flicking as they work also as a convertor
not saying its going to work with your problem but it fixed mine like others have said it may just be dodgy bulbs thats all mate hope this helps
Hmm, never heard of these but its got to be worth a go for the sake of £11. Its just odd how the lights are standard factory fit by BMW and worked fine before the initial bulb went. If these converters do the trick then I can only assume that the cheaper bulbs which I bought are substandard (as they need these converters). Once they have been on for a while they can be turned off/on without a problem, its just the first turn on when the car has been stood for a while. I'll give the guy a ring as the ebay advert has a phone number, thanks for the advice and i'll let you know if they do the trick.
cool like i said they maybe what u need,it did the trick on my e46 but i was using an aftermarket kit
Mental??? Not sure why you think that mate, I'd sooner take a gamble on a pair of £15 bulbs than pay nearly £300 at a dealer. Its looking like its the ballast anyway so the bulbs are ok I think.

BD Online: MAC Belfast by Hackett Hall McKnight
18th April 2012
Transcending its misconceived context, the Mac proves one of the best pieces of architecture built in Belfast for 50 years says BD Online.
The shortlist for the 2008 Young Architect of the Year Award was one of the more diverse in the prize's history and at the end of a long day of interviews, the jury found itself struggling with how to assess the merits of a number of candidates who were seeking to extend the definition of architectural practice and others whose concerns remained focused squarely on building.
For one juror at least the issue was straightforward. Glenn Howells held up the submission from Belfast's Hackett Hall McKnight and pointed to the drawings of the Mac — the city's Metropolitan Arts Centre — which it had recently won in competition. "This building," he assured us, "is going to be listed." To which Liza Fior of Muf offered the whip-snap rejoinder: "That's because someone's going to think it was built in 1955."
It was a good joke, and not entirely without foundation, but Howells' enthusiasm won the day and, happily, the completed Mac, which opens to the public today, leaves no doubt that his listing prediction was sound. In fact, the building might confidently be claimed as the best piece of architecture to have been built in Belfast for 50 years, were it not for the recent completion of another contender for that title in the shape of O'Donnell & Tuomey's Lyric Theatre. With Heneghan Peng's Giant's Causeway Visitors Centre due to open in the summer, a part of the country that has long maintained a perfectly dismal architectural track record suddenly looks set to deliver three first-rate public buildings in the course of just over a year.
Frustratingly, the Mac's immediate neighbour, the St Anne Square development, is very far from first-rate, as its inclusion on the 2010 Carbuncle Cup shortlist might suggest. Seen in photographs, the ineptitude of its weirdly Francofied neoclassicism invites no more than a derisive guffaw but to experience the thing in context is to realise what a considerable opportunity has been squandered.
The development fills out the larger part of an urban block which offers exciting adjacencies on all sides: St Anne's Cathedral to the west; the Cathedral Quarter — home to some of Belfast's oldest buildings and a thriving nightlife — to the south; a notably undertrafficked ring road to the east which the city's planners have ambitions to see better integrated; and to the north, a very large site where the University of Ulster is planning to relocate to new premises designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley. What has been built seems oblivious to pretty much all of this. Certainly, the six storeys of car parking presented to the ring road hardly capitalise on the site's potential to serve as a primary gateway to the city centre. The possibility of extending the Cathedral Quarter's language of robustly detailed brick facades has also proved of no interest. And, perhaps most bizarrely, in allocating a place for a £13 million arts centre, the architect — take a bow WDR & RT Taggart — has seen fit to jam it in the middle of the site, robbing it of nearly all opportunity to communicate with the wider city.
Hackett Hall McKnight's client is an arts organisation that has operated since 1989 out of a nearby Georgian building — a venue that had been known as Omac (Old Museum Arts Centre) in acknowledgement of its former life as the home of Ulster Museum. With a particular focus on performing arts, Omac established a vital role in Belfast's cultural life, providing regular residencies for small theatre companies such as Tinderbox, Prime Cut and Bruiser. However, in moving home, the organisation has expanded its brief significantly. The new building not only includes a couple of theatres and a dance studio but also three independent exhibition spaces, ensuring that the programme will now be weighted far more evenly between performing and visual arts.
At present, the Mac is much more exposed than it will ultimately be since the abutting plot to its north has yet to be built on. There are no plans yet for that site — although its prominence surely demands that a public use be found — and so for the immediate future the Mac's largest frontage looks set to be a great cliff of unfenestrated brick. Specified in the chalky red variety that is typical of the warehouses and merchants' houses of the Cathedral Quarter, this material predominates both inside and out the Mac, its robust detailing offering a rebuke to its neighbour's effete scenography.
The narrow frontage that closes one end of St Anne's Square and houses the primary entrance is given a more substantial treatment still. It is dominated by a seven-storey tower faced in locally sourced black basalt, above which an illuminated sign rises above the surrounding rooftops to gesture to the very different city beyond. Developed as a field of ribs and recesses, the basalt has a massive character — archaic and luxurious where the shallow reveals, insulated render and UPVC windows of the neighbouring facades conjure no more than a pantomime of the past.
The tower is the smallest of three volumes that structure the highly sophisticated plan on every level. The others both accommodate a theatre on their lower storeys — a requirement that defines their footprint — while exhibition areas, studio spaces and ancillary facilities are stacked above. These blocks stand apart and at an angle to one another, framing a vertiginous foyer in the wonkily L-shaped gap.
The St Anne's Square entrance lies at one end of the L and a secondary entrance, set within a very narrow frontage that addresses the cathedral, lies at the other. The foyer might therefore be seen as a covered street, an association strongly reinforced by the treatment of the walls that address it. Although pointedly distinct from one another, each is an assembly of repeated vertical elements, of a scale, depth and robustness that is redolent of an urban facade. The face of the larger block is a composition of brick piers, admitting views to a palatially scaled piano nobile — one of the exhibition suites — at its upper level. The smaller block is more closed and faced in in-situ concrete, but the articulation of the concrete's boardmarking maintains a register of the floors behind and provides a surface depth which is animated by toplighting.
The largest surface of all is the internal face of the party wall that runs along the site's north boundary. Again this is in brick, but without openings, the articulation coming instead from a parade of full-height buttresses between which café tables have been slotted. Although daylight is admitted from multiple sources, the outside world — and certainly St Anne's Square — is all but entirely screened from view. This lends the space a distinctly theatrical character — a quality further supported by the various landings, balconies and internal windows that address it from on high. The cabaret nights that form a significant part of the Mac's programme will surely be quick to exploit this marvellous interior's dramatic possibilities.
Of the two designated performance spaces, one is a flat-floored 120-seat studio theatre and the other a 350-seat venue — a space twice the size of the theatre at Omac. The client initially requested that all its seats be retractable but Hackett Hall McKnight persuaded them of the merits of allowing at least some to be fixed. It proves to have been good advice, the slightly asymmetric arrangement of the fixed upper galleries rescuing the space from a generic outcome.
A long, open-sided staircase, running up the middle of the foyer, provides the primary means of connection between the basement, ground and first floor levels but, in a deftly Loosian piece of planning, the vertical circulation relocates at this point. An enclosed stair takes us up to a second foyer overlooking the first — a double-height space from which the large exhibition suites are accessible to either side. Of these, one is a hall of a scale that lends itself to the display of monumental sculpture such as the current exhibit, a gigantic table and chairs by Robert Therrien. There are more floors stacked on top so it has only proved possible to provide the gallery with a strip of sky-lighting along one wall. That asymmetry represents a curatorial constraint but lends the space a complexity that one guesses the architect hardly regrets. The other exhibition suite is an ensemble of three rooms, each side-lit by way of a full-height window. The first exhibition, devoted to the work of the painters William Conor and LS Lowry, had yet to be mounted when I visited, but it was easy to see how it might work in the two smaller galleries. The final room, however, is a double-height chimney of a space, dominated by a view out to the cathedral. Showing paintings here requires the notably awkward suspension of a lighting rig halfway up the room's height. It is potentially a wonderful space but will require some rather more imaginative curating to make it sing.
Access to the final two storeys is by way of another stair again. Incorporating dance studios, rehearsal spaces and facilities for artists in residence, these levels should prove the busiest during daytime hours. I was reminded of arriving at the upper levels of another Mac, Mackintosh's school of art in Glasgow. As there, the experience is one of contrast with the world below. The scale is more domestic, daylight is more evenly distributed, materials — including, in the case of the Belfast building, painted but otherwise exposed blockwork and joists — are lighter and cheaper.
As public buildings go, the Mac is certainly among the more introverted. Exploring it, one shares its architect's keen awareness of how little of the immediate context the building might usefully acknowledge. In a sense it is a building that makes its own context — its strongly differentiated parts forging, between themselves, an atmosphere of urbanity.

Chapter 2 - Amelia Kunjui - Angel District
'Calm down, Amelia.' I told myself, however my fists were still clenched at my sides. For the second time, Shizuka came to my aid. Even though he was silent, and just stood there, it was the best sort of protection I could have. Bern certainly wasn't getting into this mess, and Marisa? Kerin wouldn't allow her to get within ten feet of him. And when the little girl innocently asked for him to go away, she was met with a dark request. That made Kerin snap. He stridded over, fist raised to hit Fausto, but...He was stopped just as quickly. A force by the name of Shizuka had his wrist. The angel simply tossed him back in Marisa's direction, before looking at Bernkastel, and then myself. Fausto had a huge, prideful smirk on his face, which distorted his once soft, happy face into something disgusting. Shizuka was sort of... Threatening me for answers. I couldn't disobey, because I wouldn't stand a chance without his alliance. Taking in a deep breath, I hurried to him and said in a hushed voice;
"ItouchedhishandandIsawscenesinsidethegovernmentbuilding." I winced at how my words mushed together, but I continued to explain. "T-there's a body jumper in Fausto. He's taken him over, and... " I glanced at Marisa when she frantically began screaming out. I was too late to react. Fausto was right beside me with his kind, knowing smile. His grip was on my left arm, and... I could see his ghastly thoughts swirling inside his head. He was going to break my arm! My face went pale at this realization, and he was just beginning to push back on my bones, when he sort of... Fainted. I quickly jumped away from his grip, while inspecting my arm. I gaped, and coughed roughly as if to puke. A sharp piece of bone was pierced through my arm. My bone. It wasn't the complete bone, though. More like, a thin piece the size of a pencil. Maybe because i was overcome with shock, was why I didn't feel pain.
I fell to my knees, and began coughing. My insides whirled and contracted at the gruesome picture plastered into my brain. I was shaking badly as i let out a choked sob. Even though i couldn't feel anything, that didn't change the fact that a puddle of blood had formed beneath me. My head went fuzzy, as a cold sensation swept through my left arm. I couldn't hear anything around me. I was tramatized. Was I dying? I looked at my arm again, and paused. The blood. It was gone. The gash was gone. My bone was gone. I looked my arm over in disbelief. Healing was NEVER that fast. I looked around blindly, and reached my hand out in my confusion. What happened? My head...My arm...They were alright? Or was i going insane? Did i die? Perhaps not. Marisa must have slipped from Kerin, and she was now shaking my shoulder as if... I hadn't been paying attention.
"Ami! Ami, it wasn't real. Wake up, wake up!" Her voice sounded desperate. I blinked a few times, before everything hit me. What Marisa had seen.
I had been explaining to Shizuka about the fake, when Fausto ripped me away from him, grabbed my forehead, and pressed down. He backed away, and within seconds, everyone watched out as I looked at my arm with a horrified expression, before doubling over and coughing. I had gone crazy, over something he had done to my mind. Where was Fausto now?
I tossed my head around, to find him sleeping beside Nokoto. On the other side of him, was the body jumper. A man with a big body build, six pack... A muscle-builder. His forest green cargo pants hung loosely from his skin, with a brown belt holding them up. A small portion of his slick stomach was viewable, before a tight black tank covered the six-packed chest of his. Muscles bulged out of his arms, which were crossed over his chest in wait. He seemed to be in his mid-twenties. A narrow chin was pointed up mockingly, while two red eyes gazed down at me. His pupils, were like that of a cats. The final feature, was the spiked orange hair covering his head. Pointed in all different directions, the tip of each individual spike, was dyed a darker orange.
"I call that, self-defense." He muttered lowly. His voice was still a bit abnormal, but I could recongnize it now. I scrambled to my feet in astonishment, before backing away in fear. "Y-you're...!" He cut me off with the slight wave of his hand. "I know who I am. Your worst f***ing nightmare since the boogy man. Hello everyone. I'm Natruo, the designer of the 'Population Games'." He said it so calmly... The fact he was in charge of killing us all in the arena, sounded like nothing more than a job at McDonalds on his lips. "Now then, anyone else wanting to punch me? What about you, Mr. Lolita lover?" He cocked his head in Kerin's direction. "I'll happily make your remaining life in the arena a living Hell in exchange~"
"Your plans will fail, my sweet lady. And when they do, your stories will be nothing but lies, your rebellion will be in vain, and war will rage for years until you are but a speck of dust." - Noh
"The lies of your world will be exposed. My rebellion will rein over your realm, and no longer will this time be plagued by war." - ???

Jenny Gardner
Jennifer Gardner, who has more than 15 year of experience in both collegiate and professional athletics, joined the UC staff in October 2006. Originally an Assistant Athletic Director of Athletic Development, she was promoted to Associate Athletic Director in the summer of 2010.
Gardner serves as the fundraiser for scholarships and capital initiatives in the UCATS Office, in which she successfully solicited and met fundraising goals for such projects as the Sheakley Athletics Center. Additionally, she oversees the George Smith Society, which consists of donors who contribute $13,000 or more to athletics, and coordinates all hospitality programs, VIP events, customer service initiatives, retention efforts and benefits for high end donors.
Prior to her arrival at UC, Gardner spent seven seasons with the Cincinnati Reds as the director of premium sales and service. During her tenure, she developed a Founders Suite Program in which six companies contributed more than $7 million in luxury suite revenue three years prior to the ballpark opening. She was instrumental in setting a new Major League Baseball record of selling out 61 luxury suites in 37 days and saw a 75 percent sales increase of diamond, scout and club seating areas in six month's time. Gardner oversaw the sales and service of 600 premium accounts representing significant revenue for the team, while spearheading renewal initiatives and incentive programs for suite and season ticket holders.
Gardner also had a three-year stint as the Cincinnati Bengals assistant director of premium seat sales. She was a member of the sales team responsible for meeting the sales goals of luxury suites and club seats in order to move forward in the construction of Paul Brown Stadium. Her other notable achievements included the development of hospitality programming and events for premium seat holders and execution of VIP experiences at the Bengals training camp site in Georgetown, Ky.
A 1993 graduate of the University of Dayton, Gardner began her career at The Kempton Group, a sport and event marketing firm in Cincinnati, as an account service manager. She worked primarily with the 1996 U.S. Open Golf Championship, including the development of the hospitality program for General Motors' Delphi Automotive Systems on behalf of their participation in the championship.
Gardner earned her bachelor of arts in communication with an emphasis in broadcasting and public relations from UD before going on to pursue her master of arts in communication with an emphasis in organizational communication from Miami University (OH) in 1994.
She and her husband, Brian, have two children; Chloe and Sydney.

I've been making charity quilts about 42 X 54. According to the standard method, they require 3 1/3 yds of backing. Using the Flynn method, I use only 2 yds. Significant savings.
For a visual explanation of the technique, try this link:
Then scroll down to "Diagonal Pieced Back
Click here to print these instructions" and click on the link. There you will get a PDF with drawings that show just how it works. Then I would go back to
to calculate the yardage of fabric needed.
I would just add one caution: because you have created a bias seam, work carefully and avoid tugging or pulling the fabric at any time. My first one wasn't perfect, but practice makes perfect, and my last one (made yesterday) is pretty darn good.
Hope this helps!

Almost always the oldest in a class of five or six undergrads, Boone finds himself continuously challenged by his 19-year-old lab partners and by his professors, whom he describes as "fabulous pedagogues."
"I signed on from the point of view of somebody who wants to do a serious undergraduate course, even an advanced level course," he says. "I've found the Tufts program to be very attractive. It's inexpensive, it's intimate, and there's enormous value to having the contact, I think, with the undergraduates."
In the fall, Boone will be taking quantum mechanics for the second time. (His first was at Berkley a few summers ago.) As an auditor, he still does the homework but opts out of the exams, meaning he won't receive transcript credit for the course.
In the meantime, he also participates in peer-taught classes at HILR, as well as directing, cutting, and acting in performances by the Frances Addleson Shakespeare Players.
Sometime in the future, he'd like to start teaching an HILR course on "the 10 greatest experiments in physics," covering things such as Newton's decomposition of sunlight with a prism, Millikan's oil-drop experiment, Foucault's pendulum, and Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus.
"Most of these are things that we could reproduce in class," he says. "Provided we could hornswoggle the lab people at Harvard and Tufts into loaning us some of their equipment."
Though it sounds like an awful lot of work for someone in supposed retirement, Boone sees nothing but reward, even purpose, in what he does.
"We get to study what we like," he says. "If we don't like it, we drop it. Things like literature or philosophy are better understood as an older person. There are great Shakespeare plays about being an old man. King Lear, for one. How can you possibly understand that when you're 19? You may have a sense of it being great art and appreciate the flow of words, but there is no immediacy."

Deadlocked Presidential race
President Obama got some help from Bruce Springsteen in Wisconsin, a state he needs to win. The President's final campaign lap also includes stops in Iowa and Ohio.
Wins in those states could help him hang onto the White House. The President argues he deserves four more years because he's the true candidate of change.
"Governor Romney is a very talented salesman. And in this campaign, he has tried as hard has he can to repackage the same old bad ideas and make them out to be new ideas."
Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney is also crisscrossing the battleground states. He's telling voters President Obama already had four years to prove himself.
"You hoped the President would bring people together to solve big problems. He hasn't. I will."
Romney is wrapping up his campaign will rallies in Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and Virginia.
President Obama will end his night at his home in Chicago. Romney will finish in New Hampshire where he has a home.
When all is said and done, both men will have made more than 100 campaign stops each.

Excerpt: " New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks made his way onto the practice field today for the first time this week. Nicks has been battling a knee injury since Week two against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has played visibly injured since then. It's not unusual for him to only practice once a week, so it's encouraging that he's going to have time to further develop his chemistry with quarterback Eli Manning.
However, it's not all good news coming out of Giants camp today. Big Blue practiced without Justin Tuck (shoulder), Ahmad Bradshaw (knee), Chris Snee (hip), and David Baas (hip/shoulder). Tuck was seen riding the stationary bike, while there were no signs of the other three injured players.
Ahmad Bradshaw has said on multiple occasions that he expects to play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. However, that decision lies solely with the team medical staff. Bradshaw missed most of the Giants Week 14 win over the Saints due to a sprained left knee. He also did not make the trip to Atlanta last Sunday.
Where the injury situation gets further clouded is with Kenny Phillips and Prince Amukamara. The Giants secondary looked lost without their two former first-round picks on the field in Atlanta last weekend. Both players practiced today and should be ready to go on Sunday barring setbacks in their condition. However, there is still a lot of time between now and kickoff in Baltimore. "

Each week leading up to the draft, the Foxboro Blog crew will spend a week breaking down a position on the Patriots' roster. We'll start with a quick overview and then move onto a discussion involving potential draftees at that spot as well as free-agents that the Patriots may pursue. Up this week are the quarterbacks…
2010 Recap: Heading into 2010, there was some legitimate questions about whether Tom Brady still deserved to be ranked among the NFL's elite quarterbacks. After setting the league on fire with his 2007 performance, Brady subsequently missed the 2008 season with a torn ACL, and then played below his usual high standard in 2009. Considering that Drew Brees and Peyton Manning had dueled the Super Bowl that February, while Brady's Patriots fizzled out in the most lop-sided home playoff loss in team history, the doubters certainly had material to work with. Adding to the uncertainty were the facts that Brady's top target, Wes Welker, was coming off of ACL surgery, his deep threat, Randy Moss, was sulking about his contract status, and that the Patriots squad in general was filled with first and second year players.
So what did Brady do in light of all the haters and nay-sayers? Well, first, he smashed up his Audi, then he walked into Robert Kraft's office and signed a contract that made him the hightest paid QB in the league, then he spent the next sixteen games destroying his opponents en route to an league MVP award during what can arguably be considered the best regular-season performance by a quarterback in history. (Brady's only real competition for that distinction being himself in 2007.)
So, yeah, I guess you could say that 2010 was a pretty good year at quarterback for the New England Patriots.
Returning Players: Tom Brady, Jonathan Crompton, Brian Hoyer
Patriots Free-Agents: None
2011 Outlook: If you concede the 2009 season as a recovery year, Brady's 2007 and 2010 performances have to excite Patriots fans about what's in store for 2011. Like all aging QB's, Brady's play will start to drop off at some point, but given his work ethic and his hunger to bring a fourth Lombardi Trophy to Foxboro, I doubt this is the year. One thing worth keeping in the back of your mind is that Brady did undergo foot surgery to repair a stress fracture shortly after the season ended, but by all accounts, it was a relatively minor and succesful procedure. Judging by his moves at Carnivale in Brazil, I'd say Brady is well on his way to a full recovery.
Slightly more interesting is the situation of backup Brian Hoyer. He's in the final year of his contract after playing admirably in the team's season finale against Miami. The question here is whether a team desperate for a QB would offer something of value to New England in exchange for Hoyer's services. While there's always some risk involved with cutting ties with a solid backup option (we were all thankful for Matt Cassel in 2009), it might make sense in the case of Hoyer. Brady is signed with the Patriots for four more seasons, and will most likely re-up again after that. As a result, Hoyer's window of opportunity to make meaningful contributions in New England seems fairly limited, and it may be wise for the team to draft a backup in the late rounds this year, to groom as a potential heir to Brady's throne.

Drugs, and Modern Medicine may not be the answer!
Diseases and physical conditions of the modern world, and contemporary societies can be directly attributed to a more stressful lifestyle. What are the best treatments, and what can be done to relieve the suffering?
Conventional treatments for diseases such as type II diabetes, cancer, all varieties of heart disease, and disorders like ulcers, depression, obesity, fibromyalgia and arthritis may or may not work. In some cases placebos were more effective. The hands on physical practice of Alphabiotics, has not only proven to be effective, but beneficial. Stress release allows your inner wisdom to balance your mind and body in order to fight diseases, decrease tension and increase strength. Your life works better in every way.
Stress Related Symptoms
Are you currently experiencing insomnia, headaches, weight gain, muscular tension, low energy or fibromyalgia. These may be signs of an unrelieved stress state.

Where I stayed
What I did
Independence Palace, The War Remnants Museum, Lots of luscious cafes
Our attempt at a lie in the next day is thwarted by the building work going on next door, but we still manage to laze about enough to emerge into the boiling heat outside. After an omelette and some bread for breakfast not quite filling a hole, we decide to treat ourselves (or Amy) to a second breakfast - pancakes all round (or just pancakes for Amy)!
Next stop the beautiful Notre Dame cathedral - we melt our way across the city for a quick peak, then drop onto the nearest shady spot for a sit down - the heat is unbelieveable! We head on to Reunification Palace, the site of power for the South Vietnamese government that was in league with the Americans during the Vietnam War. The grounds contain models of 2 tanks that smashed down the entrance gates when the North Vietnamese army crashed through the gates and made the South Vietnamese government declare defeat.
We watch a long video on the topic which massively confuses Amy who has very little idea of the history to begin with, and even less idea after the bias given to everything (Communism isn't mentioned at all, I'm sure that had something to do with it) - and falling asleep for half of it doesn't much increase her understanding. What is clear, is that there is a lot that isn't being mentioned, like what happened to all the Vietnamese who sided with the Americans (for whatever reason) as 'The Vietnamese' is the label consistently given to the resistance fighters and the North. With over 1,000,000 South Vietnamese fighting on the side of the Americans, it clearly isn't as simplistic as presented, especially given their 're-education' after the war has ended. Hmmm.
The basement of the palace hasn't been touched since the invasion, so the sophisticated communication equipment is still in place exactly as it was during the war - so that'll be 2 telephones and a radio then! The maps seem incredibly undetailed and unsophisticated for managing a war - but to say the Viet Cong's war rooms were probably in the middle of a jungle, perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to be surprised.
We move on to the War Remnants Museum, which reveals some of the horrifying torture that the Viet Cong and civilians were subjected to under the direction of the Americans. Again, it is hard to construct a truly accurate picture, but the photographs and documentary evidence clearly prove some horrendous crimes took place. Even more shocking is the information on the widespread use of Agent Orange and it's long lasting effects. This chemical was sprayed mostly in North Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and partially in South Vietnam, essentially to kill lots of jungle vegetation to make fighting on the ground easier. What it actually did was get into the water systems and crops and has caused birth defects ever since. Four generations on, babies are being born with massive deformities. The photographs are shocking, with children born as recently as 2009 with no legs and serious mental health problems - and of course, as yet no responsibility has yet been accepted by the American government, despite American troops who sprayed the chemical already receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of compensation. It's a very tough museum to visit.
We spend the evening people watching (or people/goods on motorbikes to be more precise) and are continually amazed at just how much stuff you can get on a normal motorbike
The next day is a mish mash of wandering round the city, frequently stopping in cafes to escape the crushing heat and sudden showers, and just generally soaking up the atmosphere of mobile kitchens sitting on street corners, exotic fruit sellers, various meats stalls festering in the sunshine and a whole host of street hawkers, barbers, mechanics, coconut sellers that make up this frenetic city.

How to Play
Making Picks
In a nutshell, the aim of Superbru is to make predictions of the outcomes of the games in a sports tournament. The more accurate you are, the more you'll be rewarded - check out the scoring system for more info on scoring.
How do I make picks?
Visit the make picks page to make predictions. On the make picks page, you'll be able to choose what round or games to pick. You don't need to do all the games at once, as long as you get the pick for each game in by the start of play as we have it advertised. The choices you make will apply in all your pools - i.e. you only make one pick per game in Superbru, and it gets filtered into all your pools.
What will I predict?
This depends on the sport. In most team ball sports, we ask you to predict the winning team and margin of victory. In others, you will predict the exact score. In individual sports like motorsport and golf, more complex prediction models apply.
When can I make my picks?
As soon as we have the games loaded for a tournament, you'll be able to make your picks, even weeks ahead to far distant rounds. Sometimes in the case of knockout rounds, you'll need to wait for us to load the participating teams, which will be decided by a previous round, but we try to get this done as soon as we know the relevant results.
What is the deadline for making picks?
The deadline is the start of play of each game as we have it listed. However, we strongly encourage you to give yourself at least a few hours before the start of play to ensure that you get your picks in safely. The site can be extremely busy at kick-off time.
What if I can't make my picks?
If you have any trouble, the most important thing is to get your predictions on the record before the start of play. Contact us or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your predictions, and we'll add them for you. Sometimes it might take us a while, but at least they are on record. We cannot accept any picks after the deadline. If you do contact us, don't just say "I can't make my picks": tell us "I can't make my picks - here is what I want: " and list your predictions. If you don't make any picks, you may be allocated a default pick.
Where can I see my picks and the results?
All your picks and the your pool's results are displayed in the pool results pages. Click the tab for your pool in the navigation up top, then select "View picks/results". Your individual picks are also visible on your player performance page.
When will I get my email reminder?
We send out reminders to make picks by email; you should receive one email per round of the tournament (unless you've already made your picks for that round). Generally these reminders go out about 48 hours before the first game of the round. Please note that we cannot guarantee safe delivery of your email reminder (due to spam filters, internet connectivity, etc.). Treat the reminder as a nice-to-have, not a guarantee: not receiving a reminder will not be an excuse for not having made your picks.
Can I change my picks?
Yes, this tournament permits you to change your picks up until kick-off, as long as you have not locked them. When you make a pick, it is unlocked, meaning it can be changed. However, if you want to see what other people in your pool have picked, or if you want to look at community stats, you will need to lock your pick first. Once you have locked a pick, you can't change it. Picks can be locked on the pool results or community stats pages,
What does a locked / unlocked pick mean?
Unlocked picks can be changed, whilst locked picks cannot. If you have an unlocked pick for a particular match, you will not be able to see what other people have picked, or see community stats.
Do I have to lock my picks?
No. When you make your picks, they are saved as unlocked picks. If you do not lock them, they will lock automatically when the match kicks off.
Why are all picks not kept hidden until a game has started?
Some players have asked us to hide all picks in a pool until the pick deadline, so that there is no chance of somebody being told by a friend what other people in the pool have picked so that he can make a better pick. We have resisted this as we feel a core part of the fun of Superbru is knowing everyone's picks as you go into a match, particularly if you are watching it on TV. However, pool captains who upgrade their pools to SuperPools may choose to hide picks until kick-off in their pools.

This brings about memories of when a competitor to Fawcette Technical Publication's conference series would copy everything we did (down to the format of the brochure). So, I understand some sensitivity on behalf of conference producers to brands and trademarks.
That said, all this does is give IT@Cork a bunch of free publicity. All Tom has to do is change it to "Future of the Web Workshop" and the lawyers don't have a case and they get all this free publicity.
It looks like O'Reilly is claiming a service mark on "web 2.0 conference" if you visit their conference Web site. IT@Cork's site says "Web 2.0 Half Day Conference." That could, possibly, be confusing to people, so CMP and O'Reilly probably does have a legal case. But, probably not if they change the name to "Web 2.0 Half Day Symposium" or something like that.
Either way, I don't think it's confusing enough to warrant the lawyers and the impending bad PR for CMP and O'Reilly.
Update: O'Reilly responds here.
