Silver Bubble
I tossed my bag on the couch and sunk beside it. Reggae music was playing from the stereo- low enough for me to hear the chicken and vegetables sizzle on the grill from Ando's kitchen. He extended his arms to reveal a lit joint pinched between his fingers."'Ere you go, that's Silver Bubble you're smoking" he said. He was sitting on the couch opposite me.
-"Yu will love vis marinade. I know y'ah clued onto y'ah food, but ya can't find ah'be'ah jerk chicken than this ere. None, nowhere in eny end o' Landun" he said. We both laughed, he can switch between accents because of his Jamaican heritage, and London upbringing.
-"So, what's going on" he asked. "You're not coming out much these days?"
-"I've got the dough, if that's what you're getting at" I answered.
-"Catch" I threw him a wad of cash.
- He put the roll aside. "No, it's not that mate. I can tell you don't want to do this anymore"
-"Hmm, you can?" I was surprised.
-"Yeah, we do business together but you're forgetting that we're mates at the end of the day".
I went for the ashtray on the coffee table before lifting the glass of water- I was making the sip as long as possible to give me time to think.
-"Mate, I can see you smiling behind that glass" Ando threw a tennis ball at my leg.
The door opened and Skimoe walked in with a brown box covering his upper body. He was struggling to close the door, balancing on one foot. You could tell it was Ando's older brother by the green bangles wrapped around his wrists. He set the box down on the table and let out a massive exhale. "Aaah, those bloody stairs and that bloody rain. Right, let me go dry myself" Skimoe said. I drew the curtain to see the street empty apart from orange street lights reflecting on the puddles.
-"Hmm. What could be inside that box" I made a dry comment. I knew in my head the box meant that they'll expect me to help make more handshakes around the city.
-"See what I mean, you're not enthusiastic about dotting anymore" the silence filled the room. "Why can't you just admit it?" Ando shot me a look while he fiddled with the tape sealing the box. We both knew what's inside- Silver Bubble.
-"Mmm. Smells good, what's for dinner tonight? Skimoe was patting himself dry with a small towel. Ando didn't give him an answer but continued to fiddle with the box. Skimoe shifted his questioning gaze to me- more silence filled the room.
-"Chicken" I said.
-"What's going on?" he asked. Nobody answered him.
-"Ando, what's going on?" he straightened his posture, and placed his hands on the waist.
-"Well... Yang's got something on his mind" Ando said, inviting me to talk. I glanced up to see Skimoe shared the same look. I took another sip of water.

A Chinese Hedge is a form of arbitrage by which an investor shorts a convertible bond and buys the underlying common stock. The inverse of a Set-Up Hedge, a Chinese Hedge is a bet that a stock's price will rise, taking the value of the convertible bond up with it but reducing the conversion premium associated with the convertible (the price of a convertible bond is tied closely with the underlying stock's price).
When a stock's price is low, the convertible's price is also low, but the premium over and above the actual conversion ratio is high because of the potential for price appreciation. As the stock's price rises, so does the convertible (making the conversion premium less attractive, because the potential for price appreciation is lessened). Depending on the convertible bond's interest rate, a Chinese Hedge may be a very low cost/low risk way of participating in a stock's price appreciation.

One of the reason for PCOD is weight gain and an individual can get rid of this disease once she maintains her weight. In order to reduce your weight we always suggest that one should not starve but one should nourish the body by eating healthy foods and at regular intervals of time.

"What happened!" Alianna ran forward. A dirty Italian man was lying on the ground at Apollo's feet, with Dakota holding him back from trampling the drunkard. Dakota tried to control Apollo as he danced around nervously, she stepped back a few paces, revealing the small children behind her.
"This man came in after these kids," Dakota said, finally gaining some control. "They showed interest in Apollo, and he liked them just as well as anyone else. But, as you can see," she patted her horse's neck. "He didn't like this man at all."
"Aw!" Alianna excalimed. "These two are so cute!" She ran forward, crouching down to their eye level, it wasn't to hard, since they were standing on the railing.
"What are your names?" She asked in Italian.
"Carlos... and this is Amira." The young boy whispered.
"Well, Carlos, and Amira, let's get you cleaned up so you can watch the pretty horses some more!" Alianna started to lead them away, Bartholomew stopped her. Alianna, are you sure you want to take on the responsibility of these two youngsters?"
"Ye-" Alianna started to answer. Dakota interrupted.
"I will take care of them Bart!"
Alianna started to protest. "No, Dakota, you already take care of the horses and-" but Dakota held up a hand.
"I can care for them" She said, with finality. Alianna nodded.
"I'll go get them cleaned up. You wont do this alone." She said, leading the children away.
"Two more misfits in my ring." Bartholomew muttered.

Report: Terrell Stoglin Leaving Maryland For NBA Draft
Terrell Stoglin, the leading scorer in the ACC this past season, will be leaving the University of Maryland after two seasons to enter the NBA draft, a source tells Jeff Barker of the Baltimore Sun.
With the May 8 deadline looming for college players to declare early, both Stoglin's family and the university remained tight-lipped about the sophomore guard's decision.
"I don't know what's going on," father Joe told the Sun on Sunday night. "I haven't heard from the coaches or anything."
At the end of the Terrapins' season, Stoglin said he planned to return for his junior year; he later amended that statement to say he was weighing his options. Now, reportedly, he's gone. The 6-foot-1 Arizona native averaged 21.6 points per game last year, becoming the first Terrapin to lead the ACC in scoring since Joe Smith in 1995; Smith went No. 1 overall in the draft that year. However Stoglin, who's known for shooting too much and making selfish plays, is considered a second-round pick at best.

Munich Re has reportedly withdrawn its latest planned cat bond from the market because of a lack of investor demand.
Queen Street X Re was seeking retrocessional protection from US hurricanes and Australian cyclones. The world's largest reinsurer was apparently disappointed by investor interest in the deal at the pricing it was seeking meaning the deal would not have achieved the size it wanted.
An announcement from the bookrunners said that the notes would no longer be offered due to current market conditions as the pricing and capacity targets for the cat bond could not be met.
This could be seen as representing something of a watershed moment for the rapidly growing insurance-linked securities markets proving that investors have their limits and will not commit at what they perceive to be a price that is too low.
Some sources have suggested the timing of the deal was to blame. With the US hurricane season about to start, the pricing of US wind risk has already been affected in the secondary markets.

The Sanskrit word Yoga means means to yoke, or to join. Essentially, it means conscious union with The Infinite. Through the various techniques of the practice, you begin to cultivate the sensitivity and attention necessary to listen for inner guidance about what to do or not do in your life.
You become skillful at this on the mat, in the poses, in the breathing, where it's easy, so that you become skilled at doing it in your life — where it's not always so easy.
Yoga, therefore, is about learning to use your mind in a different way. Rather than using it to continue to foster separation and isolation, you learn to use it to actually experience singularity and a feeling of deep connectedness that we all share.
It's about relaxing into who you are, being brave and daring to life a live that's guided from within, that goes with the flow, that's fun, fulfilling, and inspired again. And that translates into feeling like you're just being more YOU. Without limit. Fully. Finally!
The peace and clarity that results from the practice is healing, rejuvenating, energizing, calming, life-changing; deeply and profoundly transformative.
I look forward to sharing the practice with you.
Peace and Namaste,
Carie Garrett
College Station, Texas

The APA PA Annual Conference provides a unique and effective opportunity to showcase your work and capabilities to planning professionals and policy makers from across the Commonwealth. It's also one of the ways to support planning in Pennsylvania by providing valuable networking, education, and development for planners.
The sponsorship brochure will allow you to choose the marketing opportunity that best suits your needs. The menu of options is varied – select conference sponsorship, rent prime exhibit space, or advertise in the Conference Announcement and Final Program. All options are first-come-first-serve and we anticipate space will fill quickly. Selecting your commitment level early will help you to get your first choice of placement as a sponsor, exhibitor, or both.
Our conference committee is working diligently to plan a creative and innovative event, one that will pair both educational and networking opportunities. We look forward to including you in the continued success of the APA PA Annual Conference!
If you have any questions about the conference, please contact Kim Gusic at 717-671-4510 or email her at email@example.com at your earliest convenience.
On behalf of the Conference Committee and the Central Section, we look forward to seeing you in State College!

Anime and Manga
- In Code Geass, as Euphemia dies after being mortally wounded by Lelouch, Suzaku tearfully begs her to join himand his friends at Ashford Academy. Euphie gently rejects the idea, having already accepted that her time is up, and tells Suzaku to continue on in school for both of them.
- In Hell Teacher Nube, this happens when Nuubee, after his Love Epiphany, rescues an already badly injured Yukime from her father's Battle Butler. As he carries her away while talking about what they'll do now that they're together, poor Yukime whispers "I... I'll love you... always..." and passes on. He doesn't notice until he reaches for his students and Ritsuko, and then Yukime's body starts disappearing and melting into snowflakes... (Don't worry, she gets better, but it takes quite the effort and time.)
- A particularly heart-wrenching example occurs in CLANNAD: as his wife, Nagisa, dies during childbirth, Tomoya goes on talking to her optimistically about all of the fun they're going to have as a family whilst holding their newborn baby.
- In the animated adaptation of Hakuouki, Chizuru tries to encourage the grievously wounded Yamazaki that he must get better soon because there'll be lots of injured in the war, and as the Shinsengumi's primary medic he'll be needed to tend the wounded. It doesn't help.
- Pandora Hearts has a more stealthy example. While approaching the series' Final Dungeon, Oz suggests having a tea party after the Grand Finale and everyone gets excited. Within a few hours of that conversation, though, over half their group is dead including him. While at first it seemed like cruel irony, flashbacks reveal that Oz had been aware he was going to die, making his tea party conversation a fridge example of this trope.
Films — Animated
- Subverted in Monsters vs. Aliens. After The Missing Link and Dr. Cockroach are telling each other It Has Been an Honor, B.O.B. tells them he'll see them tomorrow for lunch. They agree, although B.O.B. was totally serious...
The Missing Link: It's been an honor knowing you, Doc.Dr. Cockroach: The feeling's mutual, my friend.B.O.B.: I'll see you guys tomorrow... for lunch.The Missing Link: That's right, Bob.Dr. Cockroach: There'll be candy and cake... balloons.B.O.B.: CAKE AND BALLOONS FOR LUNCH? IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST DAY EVER! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Films — Live-Action
- In Captain America: The First Avenger, after Cap makes his choice to sacrifice himself, he and Peggy make plans for a date. A tearful Peggy tells him, "Don't you dare be late." He agrees, and reminds her that he can't dance, and worries about stepping on her feet. He gets cut off mid-sentence as he crashes into the sea.
- In Star Trek (2009), George Kirk has a conversation with his wife on what to name their son. All the while, he's being totally awesome and securing the escape of his wife and crew.
- At the end of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Dodge and Penny lay down in his bed and share small talk about her childhood to distract themselves from the impact of the giant asteroid that is about to decimate the planet and destroy all life on it. It turns into a variation of Dying Declaration of Love when they confess their love for one another—neither of them is in any pain, but they're both about to die.
- The obscure late-90's film Last Night is about an unspecified, but unpreventable, cosmic disaster that's going to destroy the planet. The whole movie is about the last few hours of life on Earth, with a special focus on a man and a woman (who are total strangers to each other) planning on committing suicide. Instead, just as the destruction begins, they kiss and listen to music.
- Related: In Return of the King, when Frodo's lost all hope of even reaching Mordor, Sam perks him up by planning out loud how to ration their food for the trip back home. All Frodo can do in response is look at him.
- One of the most famous and touching scenes in The Iliad is Hector visiting with his family. His wife Andromache knows that Troy will fall and begs him not to go. Hector then goes to his son Astyanax and accidentally scares him with his helmet. After taking it off, he holds his son and prays to Zeus, blessing his son to be a greater warrior and leader than himself. Therefore this is Older Than Feudalism.
- In the third installment of A Song of Ice and Fire, Jon has something of a one-sided version of this with the dying Ygritte. He tells her that she'll be fixed up, that she'll see a hundred castles, and that they'll return to their cave together. Her response is simply, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
- One of the greatest moments of this is in Of Mice and Men where George talks to Lennie about their plans for the farm and the rabbits to distract Lennie before George shoots him in the back of the head out of kindness, before Curley kills him instead. It is such a heartbreaking moment...
- A lot of this happens in Nevil Shute's On the Beach, as everyone tries to face the end with peace and dignity. People continue tending their gardens as if there will be a next season, that sort of thing.
- In Star Wars: Vision of the Future, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade share a hilariously deadpan Dying Declaration of Love when it looks like they're done for.
Luke: Mara... will you marry me?Mara: You mean if we get out of here alive?Luke: I mean regardless.
Live-Action TV
- Game of Thrones: Jon Snow tells Ygritte that they will go back to their secret cave together. Her response is simply, "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
- The Office invokes this trope in "Goodbye, Michael," when Jim finds out Michael is leaving a day earlier than he claimed. The two make plans for lunch the next day, even though Michael will be gone, and Jim tells him all the things he "plans" to tell him. A tearful Michael tells him that he can't wait.
- In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy, Xander, and Willow discuss going to the mall the next day while preparing for the Final Battle. Unsurprisingly, all three of them survive (though the mall is destroyed, leading Dawn to comment that she fought on the wrong side).
- Two seasons earlier, Xander proposed to Anya just as they go off to stop the Apocalypse (again).
- Quantico: Simon asks Raina if she wants to grab a tea with him sometime as he's driving to his death.
- West Side Story: As Tony lies dying in Maria's arms, the two discuss how they're going to get away because no one will let them be. She starts to sing a reprise of a song about how they will leave. He dies before she can finish.
- "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Misérables is this trope for Marius and Eponine. While Eponine insists that she's at peace with the prospect of dying, Marius attempts to assure her that she'll survive somehow and that they'll be together. Unfortunately, she becomes his Forgotten Fallen Friend almost instantly as he goes back to chasing Cosette - though in all likelihood he was just trying to invoke Let Them Die Happy.
Video Games
- Final Fantasy X had this as a major and very well developed plot point for the first 3/4 of the game where Tidus and Yuna talked about what they were going to do after defeating Sin with the Final Aeon; they did this all the way up to just before entering Zanarkand. When Tidus learns that Yuna's death would be a part of the summoning, it crushes him as he thinks about how much time they spent talking about the future beyond Sin's death. Towards the end of the game it actually switches around as Tidus keeps secret that he will disappear when they stop Yu Yevon.
- It also acts as a subversion. With Tidus and Rikku hell-bent on finding another way and Auron quietly (but awesomely) backing the idea, Yuna eventually rejects the whole idea that she has to die and twist a loved one into the next Sin, culminating in Final Fantasy X-2 where she tells someone who plans a Heroic Sacrifice "your plan sucks!"
- In Persona 3, the members of SEES make a plan to meet on Graduation Day, even though they have every reason to believe that the world will end before that day ever arrives.
- Along the same lines. during the Christmas Eve date with Akihiko in the female protagonist's route in Persona 3 Portable, he gives her a music box and promises to give her something to put in it every year.
- In each of the Mass Effect games, Shepard and their crew have every reason to believe that they're not going to survive the final confrontation against Saren (Mass Effect)/the Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2)/the final push against the Reapers (Mass Effect 3). That doesn't stop them from making plans.
- Mass Effect: Ashley refuses to tell Shepard that she loves him until after they defeat Saren.
- Mass Effect 2: During their romance path, Shepard and Thane can make plans to visit a desert. This one's especially tragic because, even in the off chance that both Shepard and Thane survive the suicide mission, Thane has roughly nine months to live (and eventually gets killed by Kai Leng in 3).
- Mass Effect 3:
- If Shepard romanced Garrus, their final conversation in London consists of them calmly discussing whether to start a family after the war is over. Romanced Liara will also lament how disappointed their "little blue children" will be that she didn't have a speech ready.
- And if Shepard romanced Samantha, she promises to take her to Vancouver after the Reapers are defeated. Sam is not impressed. ("Not Paris. Not Venice. Vancouver." "It's a lovely city!" "You never take me anywhere nice.")
- Kantai Collection: Shoukaku's marriage line has her telling the Admiral to wait until after Marianas. Her historical counterpart never made it.
Web Comics
- Homestuck: The last thing uranianUmbra does before taking her (possibly final) nap is call Roxy and confide in her: her true name, her real species, her species' nature, and the relationship between herself and her brother. The first and last ones are most important to this trope: if somebody says her name to her brother, he will fall asleep and she will wake up, and vice versa. She leaves Roxy with her name so that if she never wakes up on her own, Roxy can contact her brother and do it herself.
Western Animation
- Played for laughs in The Simpsons "Lisa the Skeptic," Edna suggests she and Skinner have sex one last time before the end. Skinner agrees, but true to form, asks her to wait a little so he can finish signing some tardy slips. Not even a possible apocalypse can keep Skinner from upholding the school rules.

5.0 stars 2 totalReview James Vaught
Posted by Sibylle
Jimmy Vaught made the by nature awful process of getting divorced so much more "doable". His very professional demeanor and at the same time kind nature helped me tremendously: he patiently listened to all my questions, concerns, and doubts, and I had many, and cofidently steared me To where I needed to be. I felt very protected and taken care of. I always felt welcomed whenever I interacted with him or his staff. I felt like I went to his law firm as a client and left as a loved family member. I would go to Jimmy Vaught again for any legal matter and I highly recommend him. You won't get anyone better, more knowledgeable and more passionate about his work than him.
Posted by KG
Jimmy Vaught and his Staff listened to my fears and concerns with compassion and understanding, while professionally guiding me through my divorce and quickly achieving the best possible result. Not only did he and his staff act professionally and discretely, they were kind and supportive during a stressful time. I would highly recommend the dedicated members of the Vaught Team to work with my family and friends in the future.

The money is Britain's share of a £24 billion Europe-wide emergency help package of loans on offer from the European Investment Bank.
Mr Darling told a conference in the City of London that small and medium sized enterprises were "the lifeblood of UK business" and everyone in the country has a collective interest in strengthening them.
Many businesses have blamed lack of access to credit at competitive rates for driving companies to the wall during the current crisis, and Mr Darling urged banks to take this opportunity to offer help to them.
Speaking alongside EIB President Philippe Maystadt and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson in London's Guildhall, Mr Darling said: "I want to encourage British banks and small businesses to get their share of this extra support, which we estimate to be up to £4 billion.
"It is important, I believe, that banks do sign up to this. Here are funds available. The banks have as much interest as small businesses and the rest of us in ensuring that we help small companies get through this period.
"It is very easy - in the good times - to go around encouraging people to sign up with you as a bank, but remember in the difficult times, small businesses need help as well and we want to make sure they get that help."
Total new lending to UK small businesses by banks in the year to June was just over £5.7 billion, and the £4 billion on offer from the EIB over the coming four years will make "a significant difference", said Mr Darling.
He welcomed the fact that British banks have signalled an interest in securing an initial £1 billion, but urged more institutions to do so.
Lord Mandelson said that it was essential that small businesses had access to finance and he urged the banks to honour their commitment to maintain lending to firms at competitive rates.

What Happened Last Night?Mature
The sunlight peeked I through the blinds and Phyllis stirred awake in her bed. She blinked quickly trying to adjust her eyesight to the natural lighting in her room. Finally, she could see clearly, and laying perfectly still, she looked around. Wondering how she even managed to get back to her room, she looked around. She heard a light snoring and looked over to see Kolby, still asleep, and shirtless. She sat up and an immense amount of pain rushed to her head. She had a hangover. There was also a sharp pain felt at the back of her neck, right above where the tip of her spin is located. She grabbed the area felt a strong throbbing pulse in the very spot.
"What happened last night?" she asked out loud. She slid out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She walked out to find Kolby finally away, holding the same spot at the back of his neck.
"How did we end up back in our rooms?" he asked her, looking around.
"I was just about to ask you the same question. Do you know what happened last night? My neck is killing me."
"Not a clue. But mine is too."
"I'm going to go ask."
"I'll come with you."
Together, they went over to Rory and Ryley's room. Kolby knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knock again. Finally someone got up and came to the door.
"Rise and shine rookies!" said Rory as she open. "Come in!"
"What do you mean rookies?" asked Kolby
"Yeah and why do our necks have a sharp pain?" added Phyllis.
"Well, if you sit and let me explain, I will," Rory said following behind them into the bedroom.
They all sat down on the beds. Phyllis and Kolby on Ryley's bed, and Rory on her own.
"Hey, where's Ryley?" asked Kolby.
"With his boyfriend. But that's not the point. Let's stay on topic," responded Rory.
"Okay, explain. I'm all ears," said Kolby.
"Okay," Rory began. "You guys are going through a transition stage. Everyone that goes underground has one. I did, and so did Ryley, Robin, and Rian. You are going through the transition of sanguis nocturnus, which mean nocturnal blood, or blood of the night. Last night while underground, you exchanged blood with someone that had already gone through the process. We didn't want anyone taking advantage of you, so I exchanged with Kolby, and Rian exchanged with Phyllis. By the end of the night tonight, the pain should be gone, and marks will begin to appear on your body. No one knows how many, and no one knows where, they just appear, based on your life. That's all I'm going to tell you for now, because I can see you're both taking this in. Any questions?"
Phyllis and Kolby both just sat there. Phyllis looked kind of confused, while Kolby just looked, completely lost.
"Sooo let me get this straight. You turned us into vampires?" asked Kolby, finally snapping out of his trance.
"No. I hate the term vampire. We're not fucking vampires. We can go out in the sun, we don't have to drink blood to stay strong, we're not hopelessly romantic, we don't have the strength of one hundred men, we're not allergic to garlic, and there are no werewolves. Anything other idea you have of vampires, let it go. We're not vampires. We are sanguis nocturnus. Blood of the night. Yes, were up all night, but we're not vampires. Never. Call. Me. A vampire! Got it?"
"Got it. Sorry. So what are we again?" asked Kolby.
"Sanguis nocturnus."
"Sanguis nocturnus? Hmm… cool." Kolby shrugged. "Hey, Phyllis. You've been quiet for a long time. Are you okay?"
Phyllis was sitting there quiet a long time. "Yeah, I was just taking it all in. So, these marks you speak of, do you have any?"
"Yeah I have a couple. The first one I got, was the one that everyone receives after the transition. It's the shape of a crescent moon and a filled in circle directly above it. The single line vertically drawn through the circle and the crescent." She pulled the strap of her tank top down and showed up the mark on her shoulder blade. "I also have a thin line that spirals around my wrist three times." She removed the think leather bracelet from her arm so that we could see. "This one, I received after one of the first milestones I accomplished after my transition. Not everyone will receive one like that. The first one I showed you, everyone receives it, but on different parts of the body."
"They look like little tattoos," said Phyllis.
"Exactly. They all have a story behind them. It's up to you to figure out the meaning behind yours. But, some people may never figure out what theirs mean."
"Is there anything that we should know before we go running around the school? You know, like symptoms, or I don't know, something?" asked Kolby. "Because um, all of a sudden I'm having these urges to um… yeah. Have you maybe forgotten to mention something?"
Phyllis looked confused.
"Now that you've mentioned it, I actually did. Like the first week of this newly found transition, you will have these... um... sexual urges. Of course when you're done with the transformation, you'll still have these urges, but not nearly as bad as they will be right now." Rory thought about it for a second. "Wait, are you having an urge towards one of us?"
"Actually. It' towards the body of you. I just have the urge to just rip all my clothes off and f-"
"Ohhhhh kay! Time to go!" shouted Phyllis. She jumped up and headed out the door. No one else followed behind. Instead they just watched the door.
"Looks like it hasn't hit her yet," said Kolby.
"Looks like it's obviously hit you," responded Rory. She looked down at his pants to see his erection trying to poke through.
"Oh. Wow. Yeah. It's hitting me kind of hard."
"Well, I could take care of that for you, right now." Rory raised an eyebrow to go along with her smirk.
"Oh really?"
"Really." Rory got up from her bed and walked toward Kolby who was still sitting on Ryley's bed. He watched her as she walked. Then, he leaned back as she hovered over him, a hand resting on either side of him, on the bed. They were face to face.
"I think I like the sound of that." Kolby leaned in toward Rory
"Oh yeah?" she asked seductively setting her lips upon his. Kolby was so easily reeled in by the feel of her lips on his. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her down on top of him. Not stopping to take a breath once, they continued to kiss before Rory pulled away.
Kolby had to breathe for a second before responding with a, "yeah." I was barely a whisper though. He was in a daze and he had no idea what he had gotten himself into.
Rory smirked. She had him vulnerable just the way she had hoped. "You want to know what else I could do?"
"Mhmm." He nodded his head still trying to catch his breath.
"Well," she slowly moved her hand towards the now rock hard bulge in his pants. "…I could just…," she rubbed it causing him to inhale sharply. His eyes rolled into the back of his head. She held in a laugh. Instead she kissed his neck, then his lips again.
"You could just what?" he asked trying and failing to remain focused while she continuously teased him.
"Let you fix it on your own." She whispered in his ear. What she said hadn't really registered in his head because was still teasing him. She connected with his lips again, this time he nibbled on her bottom lip, causing her mouth to fly open. His tongue went in and instantly went to work. Then all of a sudden, he stopped. His eyes shot open, and he looked at Rory, who was straddling him with an innocent smile.
"What do you mean, 'fix it on your own'?"
Giggling, Rory climbed from off of him and said, "You know what I mean."
"But, what about y-"
"Bye!" With that, she left him sitting on the bed, rock hard and frustrated as hell. She went to his room, where Phyllis was and knocked on the door.
Opening the door with a confused expression, Phyllis managed to get out a, "Hi."
"Hey. If you wondering if anything happened when you left, it didn't. I led him to believe that something was happening, and then hopped up and ran off like a little puppy," she said walking into the room with Phyllis right behind her.
"Oh my gosh. You did not!"
"Oh, but I did. Your buddy is next door, solid as a rock, and probably trying to fix his problems right now if you know what I mean."
They both looked at each other and burst into giggles.
"I think this is the start of a new friendship," said Phyllis, holding her hand up for a high five.
Rory slapped her hand. "I second that notion!"

Forever Hold Your Peace
What would make a boring wedding interesting? An interruption of the ceremony, à la The Graduate. Radio Music Theatres Forever Hold Your Peace follows Pete DuPugh, who believes he is on a mission from God to stop a wedding in the fictional city of Dumpster, Texas. As anyone whos seen an RMT show starring the singing Fertle family of Dumpster knows, the townsfolk arent that bright, but they do have a tendency to stay up on the local news (read: gossip). The town has gathered to celebrate the wedding of Uncle Al and Gwenda Hix, who, among other things, share a love of cigars.
Writer and actor Steve Farrell, who along with Vicki Farrell and Rich Mills plays every part in the play, says Forever has fun with the very things that would prevent you from wanting to go to a wedding. Were guessing a wedding with a crazy crasher will make for a ceremony youd actually like to attend.
Thursdays, Fridays, 8:30 p.m.; Saturdays, 8:30 & 10 p.m. Starts: May 17. Continues through Sept. 1

With a few days left in October, librarians and teachers across the country are (likely) in the midst of planning activities about American Indians. Why? Because that month is "American Indian Heritage Month."
I urge parents, teachers, and librarians to provide children and patrons with books that portray American Indians in the present day. Given that Thanksgiving happens in November, there is strong precedent for doing the "Pilgrim and Indian" theme. Don't do it! You have the opportunity to disrupt the deeply embedded notion that American Indians and instruction about American Indians belong in the past.
The single best resource for you is an excellent book called A Broken Flute: The Native Experience in Books for Children. It's got critical reviews of hundreds of books that portray American Indians. If you can, get the book from Oyate. A paperback copy costs $37.00. If you were to try to get all the information on your own, you'd spend hours and a lot of money in copy machines and you still wouldn't get the perspective and depth you'll find in A Broken Flute. The phone number for Oyate is 510-848-6700.
If you have a friend who is a teacher, get him/her a copy as a gift. If you are able, get a copy for your local library and donate it in the name of someone you care about.
And, don't confine reading or teaching about American Indians to the month of November. Read books by writers like Cynthia Leitich Smith all year long.

American Indians and November

"A Broken Flute" completely and totally changed the way I look at all manner of children's literature - not just the stories about American Indians. I was shocked and embarrassed at my own ignorance. It is a wonderful book and a fabulous resource that opened my eyes.

Unit 1
Topic: Industrialization and Progressivism (1877-1920)
Ignited by post-Civil War demand and fueled by technological advancements, large-scale industrialization began in the United States during the late 1800s. Growing industries enticed foreign immigration, fostered urbanization, gave rise to the American labor movement and developed the infrastructure that facilitated the settling of the West. A period of progressive reform emerged in response to political corruption and practices of big business.
Chapter 1: The Rise of Corporations
Content Statement: The rise of corporations, heavy industry, mechanized farming and technological innovations transformed the American economy from an agrarian to an increasingly urban industrial society.
Expectations For Learning: Analyze how the rise of corporations, heavy industry, mechanized farming and technological innovations transformed the American economy from an agrarian to an increasingly urban industrial society.
Section 1: Rise of Corporations and Heavy Industry
Content Elaboration: Industrialization in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was characterized by the rise of corporations and heavy industry, which transformed the American economy. It marked a shift from a predominance of agricultural workers to a predominance of factory workers. It marked a shift from rural living to urban living, with more people living in crowded and unsanitary conditions.
Effects of Industrialization During the 19th Century
Q: What is Industrialization?
A: When workers and immigrants from other countries moved into urban areas (cities) and began to work in the factories. This began in the US in the 1870's.

a. 1875--refrigerated railroad cars
b. McCormick reaper
c. thresher
d. steel-tipped plow
e. combines (reap, thresh, and clean grain)

***All of these allowed farmers to grow more crops with less labor in a short period of time. Food could also be transported all over the country!
Section 3: New Technology in Factories
Content Elaboration: New technologies (e.g., mechanized assembly line, electric motors) made factory production more efficient and allowed for larger industrial plants. Some of the technological innovations that transformed the American economy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries include the telephone, phonograph, incandescent light bulb, washing machine, skyscraper, automobile, and airplane.

Dandyism and Transcultural Modernity
€ 36,49
epub eBook
Sofort lieferbar (Download)
Januar 2015
BeschreibungThis book views the Neo-Sensation mode of writing as a traveling genre, or style, that originated in France, moved on to Japan, and then to China. The author contends that modernity is possible only on "e;the transcultural site"e;-transcultural in the sense of breaking the divide between past and present, elite and popular, national and regional, male and female, literary and non-literary, inside and outside. To illustrate the concept of transcultural modernity, three icons are highlighted on the transcultural site: the dandy, the flaneur, and the translator. Mere flaneurs and flaneurses simply float with the tide of heterogeneous information on the transcultural site, whereas the dandy/flaneur and the cultural translator, propellers of modernity, manage to bring about transformative creation. Their performance marks the essence of transcultural modernity: the self-consciousness of working on the threshold, always testing the limits of boundaries and tempted to go beyond them. To develop the concept of dandyism-the quintessence of transcultural modernity-the Neo-Sensation gender triad formed by the dandy, the modern girl, and the modern boy is laid out. Writers discussed include Liu Na'ou, a Shanghai dandy par excellence from Taiwan, Paul Morand, who looked upon Coco Chanel the female dandy as his perfect other self, and Yokomitsu Riichi, who developed the theory of Neo-Sensation from Kant's the-thing-in-itself.
Untertitel: The Dandy, the Flaneur, and the Translator in 1930s Shanghai, Tokyo, and Paris. Sprache: Englisch.

It's a strange world where a publisher will happily release an identikit clone of a successful franchise despite knowing their product is inferior. Take Sega's All-Stars Racing, a karting game which draws heavily from Nintendo's sublime MarioKart Wii but fails to capture either its charm or frenetic energy. Sega's offering at least looks the part, with Sonic andchumsvividly recreated within vibrantly colourful tracks, but the lacklustre handling, dull weapons and deficient multiplayer modes of Sega's racer lack the je ne sais quoi ofNintendo's classic. Fun at times but ultimately disappointing.

I met with several attorneys on Long Island in preparing for my divorce. However, the moment I met with Ms. Meyers I knew that she was the right attorney to represent me in my case. Ms. Meyers was honest, confident and knew the laws pertaining to my case inside and out. She took the time to explain the hardships that I would face in certain areas of my divorce, and made sure I had a real understanding of the issues unlike other attorneys I met with who seemed to just brush aside my concerns. I could not be more confident in my choice to retain Natasha to represent me in my divorce!

Natasha helped me through a tough and over due battle with Child Support. She was always professional, compassionate and direct. As soon as court began she was incredibly tough and knew my rights inside and out. I would not want to be on the other side of the table from her. I will be forever thankful for her expertise and truthful representation. I recommend her highly.

My experience in court with Natasha made a stressful situation a learning situation. Natasha was direct and professional with all matters pertaining to my divorce. She stuck to the facts and was able to reduce the duration of court time usually required in these matters. I highly recommend Natasha.

This lawyer only represented me for one month (I decided to go back to my first attorney who had represented me for most of 2014). I had several concerns in the one month she represented me. She offers a "free" consultation but she didn't tell me that when I came in for my consultation meeting that at some point, she would start charging me for a meeting at her hourly rate of $425. She says that her version of events are different than mine in that we continued to meet after she charged my credit card for the retainer (5K). This "meeting" that occurred after the consultation meeting was SO NOT an hour...MAYBE 15 minutes MAX. (I had to get back to work and certainly would not have been able to have a consultation meeting followed by another meeting). One thing I know is that I never changed seats from the time I went in until I left the "free" consultation meeting. Anyone who meets a lawyer for the first time and has arrived to a new law office for a scheduled free consultation would never leave the office that day thinking a charge of 425 would be on the invoice. It should have been her responsibility to delineate what constituted HER free consultation service and HER charged service. I also took issue with her level of professionalism. She did not get back to emails in a timely fashion. She charges - at a minimum - $42.50 to review an email and a minimum of 42.50 to respond to that reviewed email (So, it was very clear to me that there was a minimum charge of 85 as a total for every email that is reviewed and responded to). During the one pre-conference meeting we went to, she was more interested in talking to my husband's attorney and other court staff than me. It didn't seem like she had time to really hear me out even though I'm the only one paying her for the hour. She also seems to double-charge. For example, she charged me for a call following our court appearance, but she was in her car DRIVING when she called me. She was already charging for her drive in to court and for her drive after court so to see a separate charge for the call (when it coincided with the drive she was charging for) is not right. I could go on and on but what became clear to me is that she did not seem to care about making my life go into financial disaster. She simply did not care. I think she is used to representing incredibly wealthy people where an invoice for several thousand dollars in one month is pocket change. She does not take concerns well. I admit that I had several but when you are charged 425 an hour, I think the client has a right to work through those concerns. Had I kept this attorney, she would have left me in financial disaster with the kind of charges that showed up on my invoice in month 1.

Natasha navigated the complexities of my case with ease. Her detailed knowledge of matrimonial law was impressive- but even more so was her ability to apply it. Combined with business savvy, exceptional courtroom presence and the compassion to help make life changing decisions makes Natasha the only choice for me.
