Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Parent's Make A Difference
Family: The Anti-Drug
If it seems like keeping up with your child's schedule has become a hefty task, there isn't any wonder why. Kids have a lot going on these days-team practice, piano lessons, hanging out with friends. Kids today are learning to place a greater value on what is meaningful in their lives-which is precisely why less of them are turning to drugs.
So, what is it that comes between them and drug use? A nationwide movement conducted by the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign asked kids just that: "What's Your Anti-Drug?" The things that invigorate, enlighten and excite children-like hobbies, sports, people, and interests-all have an impact on their choice to not use drugs. In fact, they are your child's Anti-Drugs.
Youth overwhelmingly placed family and parents as one of their top Anti-Drugs, just behind sports. The importance kids place on family reinforces that parents and siblings are a very important factor in a child's decision to reject drugs. In fact, parents also can take responsibility for encouraging their child's interest in sports and other Anti-Drugs, which in turn will help them grow up drug free.
Two-thirds of kids ages 13 to 17 cite fear of losing their parents' respect and pride as one of the main reasons they don't smoke marijuana or use other drugs, according to a 1999 Partnership for a Drug-Free America study. Keeping that in mind, parents should recognize the influence they have in helping kids lead healthy, active, drug-free lifestyles. By staying supportive and involved in a child's day-to-day activities, parents can help them feel confident in what they do and the positive things in which they partake.
Despite Hollywood impressions that most kids are involved with drugs, the opposite is actually true. Seventy-two percent of kids ages 12-17 have never used illicit drugs, according to a recent Government study.
Parent's Make A Difference
"Parents play an important role in the decisions their child makes, even if it doesn't always seem that way," emphasized clinical child psychologist Dr. Wade Horn, President of the National Fatherhood Initiative, and co-author of a new book for parents of adolescents. "Your child does listen and your influence will always be a factor."
Dr. Horn suggests that parents put that influence to good use. When parents understand their role and communicate their support for the many good things their child does, kids will feel more confident in their day-to-day decisions and continue to make good choices in the long-term. And that's a positive response we all want to hear.

She loves me? I sat stunned on the bed, staring at the door Annie had just ran through. No, she's in love with me. I rose from the bed in a daze and knocked on the door to the bathroom.
There was a pause and then the door opened. She stood looking down at her feet like some naughty teenager. If only she'd look up.
"Annie?" I say again. She peeks up through her eyelashes, and at that moment I knew what I thought of her loving me. It was like a bolt of lightening had hit me, and I relished ever second of the strike. I put my finger under her chin, lifting it up, and then kissing her softly on the lips. She froze, and then after a second, her arms wrapped around my neck and pulled me closer. Her lips responded to mine and the kissing became more frantic. I pushed her back against the door, her arms above her head.
"I love you too." I said before continuing to kiss her soft, beautiful lips. All this time and I'd never even noticed. And here I was, in love with my best friend.

The Profound Perspectives of Sylvia Fletcher 1
"He came back from Lannisbury yesterday. Bought me a new pair of shoes and a silk cocktail dress. Not to mention the stunning pearl necklace I found on my bedside the morning after."
"He is a keeper, Charlotte. If only my current beau would spoil me as much."
"Loraine, don't exaggerate."
"I received a letter in the mail claiming that I have won the Tri-City lottery. Thirty thousand toward my next shopping spree."
"Diana, darling! Do take me with you."
"Scarcely a week ago, George surprised me with two first class tickets to the Republic of Korsheika. I've never been there, but I have a feeling that it will be absolutely divine. A place with such a name must be worth visiting."
"Michelle," one of the women interrupted her. It was Diana, the lottery winner. She and the rest of the ladies sent seething looks in Michelle's direction.
"Yes?" Michelle said, slightly miffed that the women were interfering with her story.
"Not fair," Charlotte said, narrowing her eyes and pursing her lips. She fiddled visibly with her new pearl necklace in an attempt to bring it to the ladies' attention, and in the process perhaps overshadowing Michelle's fabulous account. Charlotte's attempt failed.
Michelle shrugged and tossed a stray lock over her shoulder. "I know. And although it remains unsaid, you all wish you were me. Isn't that right, Sylvia?"
Sylvia wasn't listening. She was troubled. It was formidable. Undeniable. Inescapable.
She was old.

Lewis: Playing cards
The King of Hearts was my secret card. I had it between two fingers and a thumb, rubbing it gently. I was trying to keep my facial expression flat, but I hadn't played cards all that much in the past.
With an utterance of excitement, I laid the card down on the pile of cards in front of me. I smiled, satisfied that I had won the game.
Luke Evans shook his head slightly. "There is one card yet un-played," he said as he held up a card, hiding its identity from me.
"Oh, you have the Ace of Hearts," I said, lowering my head in false dismay. Luke put the card on the top of the pile, and I covered my face with my hands.
Gathering the pile of cards into a neat stack, Luke spoke a few words that had been repeated in one form or another many times in the last few weeks.
"We have time to play cards because we are not fighting. I'm not unhappy about that, but part of me is tired of waiting."
"I know what you mean," I replied. "We kicked butt, though. That's where it counts. We pushed them back. Don't forget that!"
"Yeah," Luke said, "they seem to be happy to stay where they are, to stand their ground, which unfortunately is the pattern of this stupid war."
"I'll tell you one thing, though," I stated with an out stretched finger. "I'll be happy to play cards if it means we aren't pushed back into that swamp."
Luke nodded, obviously remembering the horrible condition our troops were in back then. The only skirmish of note for this campaign had been a roaring success in that way. We were no longer plagued by disease. I shuddered at the thought.
As if our thoughts were in sync, Luke whispered, "I miss my brother, and I worry about the rest of my family."
"I'm sure they are fine." I tried to reassure him. "They are probably playing cards back at the farmhouse." Luke laughed at the thought, and a smile briefly crossed my face.
Mr. Elliot, Luke's father, entered our tent at that moment. "There's movement," he declared. He continued after both Luke and I gave him questioning looks.
"Some Handrin scouts and a few swordsmen have ventured into the meadow."

She may not be speaking to the media after the suicide of her 56-year-old daughter Varsha in October, but singing legend Asha Bhosle is coping with the loss, reveals her Sur-Kshetra co-judge singer Runa Laila.
"She is coping. We discussed it (about the death of Varsha) with her. But how much can you help?" Laila, 60, told us in an interview in Dubai, adding, "She is a very kind-hearted and jovial person. Her energy level at this age is commendable. I'm sure it is hard but she'll get through this."
Both Laila and Bhosle were in Dubai for the grand finale of Colors' Indo-Pak musical reality show along with their show co-judge Abida Parveen and guest judges Ismail Darbar, Suresh Wadkar, Ghulam Ali and Sajjad Ali. It airs tonight.
While Bhosle and Parveen represented India and Pakistan respectively on the show, Laila found her job "pretty tasking one to act as a neutral judge from Bangladesh."
But she was happy at the whole "intention of the programme which was to bring harmony to both the countries through music." Meanwhile, Laila, who has to her credit Bollywood songs such as Mera Babu Chail Chabila and Do Deewane Sheher Me is also planning a comeback in the industry. "There is something. Hopefully, it will start soon. But let's keep it a secret right now," she said.

think this is the last one for this year.
is maiden bloom of a pink-orange blend seedling that I want to see more of. It was very floriferous, sending up
several stalks for over a month. It
is from Appleblossom Days X Diamond Blush, and I believe it may be a rebloomer.
The last stalks, clumped as most
summer rebloom stalks are here, were blooming on May 20 when the temperature
reached 109 degrees. The early
blossoms had good substance, but you can see what that heat did to these.

To Lose The Battle Against Fate
I touch the ringlets of my hair as they imitate sweet honey on my shoulders. My eyes are dry, but I feel the emotion of tears and I miss the heat on my once cold cheeks.
I haven't had hair in a long time; that's the side effect of the life I have lived.
It had happened five years ago, after my daughter Jolly was born and before my husband, Bill, had turned thirty-three. My doctor had told me the procedures and I had cried and prayed.
I can't move from the spot that I have appeared at, the slight echoes of the life left behind me fill my ears. All I can do is run my fingers through the hair that now acts as a halo and I try to not think of Jolly's face.
A seven year-old does not deserve to see a mother like this, but fate was taking over and when your red string is drawn and cut, not even the strongest tape can put it back together.
It had spread, from my breasts to some of my vital organs. The loss of hair, the loss of time with my family; it all had been for nothing. The conclusion of such obvious unneeded torture? The end of the fight all together.
Her eyes are green, like Bill's, and she has the honey curls that I had lost in the drain of the porcelain bathtub that Bill had surprised me with on my birthday before the day.
Her little hands had rubbed my cheeks whispering to me, "Don't cry mommy." She had painted them blue with my sister Anna, a few nights before she had visited me. Bill had worn the red dress shirt I had given him and a tie; my death was a formal affair.
I can hear something in the mist that I had not noticed while lost in my thoughts. The sound arrives before the lights break through and I still can't seem to move. The strength that I have is a stranger to me.
For years I had laid, with a bouquet of flowers at my side, in a virginal white bed, fighting my darkest hours, with no strength. I remember the sweet, but bitter words intermingle with the seasoning of the dinner my husband brought me every night.
When the darkness within me threatened to swallow me whole; when it had attacked my brain, I knew I had to pay my dues. I couldn't protect Jolly from the sight of a hairless, bony mother any longer; I had to see my daughter.
My sister had come with my family and I had wished my parents, who had died when I had been twenty-three, could have been there to hold up the watery state of my sister.
I wish I could cry; feel the heat of something on my cheeks.
Instead, I feel nothing.
The train, bold and serene, pauses in front of me and a man watches me. I know that his eagerness and happy life is bubbling to pop out at me, but he is pitying me; giving me a moment.
"I can't move." I say simply, my voice much deeper and stronger than it had been before.
He nods calmly; sympathetically. "You need to let go."
"But Jolly, Bill; they need me." I say, willing myself to defy the laws of this world and force a tear down my face. But again, dryness offers me no salvation.
"No," he shakes his head, outstretching a hand. "They have known for a while that this would happen. Jolly will never forget her mother, and Bill will never forget his wife."
I look behind me and see only mist and darkness.
"Please Evangeline, I promise you that everything will be all right."
I suddenly move a foot forward and a miracle happens: a tear runs down my face."I'm crying!"
The gentleman simply smiles and nods, still holding his hand out. "Yes, this place grants your last every desire."
I take his hand after taking a few closer steps and he helps me climb the several steps on the train until I am inside the dimly lit area. I look to the side and see a dark tunnel that would not have been visible from outside.
"Where is everyone?" I ask simply.
"They are all around us, please, won't you introduce yourself?"
I nod and smile back at the gentleman, who I now presume is the conductor. "Thank you."
"Anytime ma'am, please, make yourself at home!"
I continue walking until the darkness disappears and a light, promising me the dreams that my fate had stolen from me, engulfs me.

FHA Loan Holders Just Hit the Mortgage Jackpot
Important: The special government program described below applies only to mortgages backed by the FHA (Federal Housing Administration.) Not sure if you qualify? Read on to find out.
Your Fast Pass to Major Savings
FHA Streamline, an initiative of the Federal Housing Administration, is a program unlike any we've ever seen at LendingTree. If you're currently paying off an FHA mortgage, you could refinance at lower interest rates with almost no paperwork. Almost all of the typical, time-consuming hurdles required for a mortgage refinance are being waved. Check these out:
No job verification.
No income verification.
No credit check.
No appraisal.
Hundreds of dollars per month, back in your pocket.
FHA Streamline allows homeowners to save in a number of different ways. Current holders of 30- and 15-year mortgages can keep their current mortgage type, while easily refinancing under lower interest rates. Alternatively, homeowners currently paying off 30-year mortgages can cut the length of the mortgage in half, switching to 15-year loans and shaving thousands of dollars in interest from their total payments.
Find out how much you could save by using our free mortgage calculator.
Current on your payments? No appraisal required.
If you've been faithful to your monthly mortgage payments, you could qualify for refinancing without an appraisal. Appraisal waivers are given to homeowners who have a history of on-time payments, and are refinancing with the goal of lowering their monthly payments. If that's you, this refinancing process just got even easier.
Qualify even if you owe more than your home is worth.
If the value of your home has decreased over time, there's a chance that you owe more on your mortgage than its current worth. With a typical loan, a new appraisal would be required, and your application would be denied if you were "under water." Through FHA Streamline, the value of your original appraisal is referenced for loan approval, meaning that even under-water mortgages can qualify for refinancing.
Too good to be true? Here's how they do it.
In any other situation, a loan offered without credit check or income verification is one we would advise steering clear of. But this offer is different. Because current FHA loan holders were already approved for loans based on documentation provided with their original loan application, the government is simply transferring their existing approval to a new mortgage at current, lower interest rates. You've already proved your ability to handle a mortgage. Now, the FHA is rewarding that responsibility by removing a lot of red tape.
Shocked by that low interest rate? Thank Uncle Sam.
If you're like most, the low interest rates available through the FHA loan program are too low to make sense. And there's a reason for that. The US government backs FHA loans, reducing the risk to lenders, and essentially setting the low rates for customers like you. In other words, your tax dollars allow for these crazy low interest rates to exist. Now it's up to you to take advantage of them!
Apply Now
The FHA only partners with select lenders for its Streamline program, so you have to know where to look. Luckily, at LendingTree we have done the legwork for you. The simple process makes multiple banks compete for your business, all at once. It's free, it's fast, and you can even do it from your phone. Give it a try today.
Q: How do I know if I qualify?
A: Put less than 5% down? You're in.
If you're not sure if your mortgage is an FHA loan, look up how much you originally put down. If your down payment was less than 5%, you likely have an FHA loan. And that's incredible news, because you likely qualify for financing through FHA Streamline. You lucky duck, you.
Q: How much can I save?
A: In our own experience, a lot.
When a member of our very own LendingTree family recently refinanced the mortgage on his home, he was shocked to learn that 72% of his monthly mortgage payment was going straight to interest. You guessed it: he had a 30-year loan. But after making banks compete for his business on LendingTree, our team member was offered a 15-year mortgage at a lower interest rate. The bottom line? $159,447 in savings and outright ownership 15 years sooner than a 30 year mortgage.
Here's How You Do It:
Step 1: Get started by clicking the map below.
Step 2: Once you go through a few questions, you will have the opportunity to compare the quotes from multiple lenders!See If You Qualify - FREE »

Drug Control:
Difficulties in Denying Federal Benefits to Convicted Drug Offenders
GGD-92-56: Published: Apr 21, 1992. Publicly Released: May 15, 1992.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the: (1) implementation of Department of Justice guidelines that allow federal and state court judges discretion in imposing sentences to make convicted drug offenders ineligible to receive certain federal benefits; (2) impact that benefit denial has had on drug offenders; and (3) possible effects of making benefit denial a mandatory sanction on conviction of a drug offense.
GAO found that: (1) during the first 9 months that Justice guidelines were in effect, less than 1 percent of all drug offenders convicted in federal and state courts were given a sentence that included federal benefit ineligibility; (2) to increase federal and state court use of the discretionary sentencing authority, Justice funded demonstration grants and coordinated with other federal agencies to establish procedures for denying benefits and notifying state judicial officers on how to use the procedures; (3) federal law enforcement officials believe that the use of the sentencing authority by federal courts had little or no impact on most drug offenders sentenced because most convicted drug offenders were not receiving any of the federal benefits subject to denial, were believed to be traffickers and distributors receiving mandatory prison sentences much harsher than being denied access to federal benefits, and were serving their incarceration and benefit ineligibility sentences concurrently; (4) although there were few data available regarding the characteristics of the offenders and whether or not they were receiving federal benefits, drug offenders sentenced to benefit ineligibility resembled the characteristics of the universe of drug offenders and were more likely to be repeat offenders; and (5) it is uncertain whether the limited results that could be realized by proposals to eliminate judicial discretion in applying the sanction would be worth the costs. GAO also noted that it does not expect to see widespread withholding of federal benefits from drug offenders, since: (1) judges and criminal justice officials do not believe that the sentence would have much impact on many of the offenders; (2) many courts exclude first-time offenders from benefit denial; and (3) federal benefit administration policies and practices preclude the interruption or termination of benefits.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The report was held by the House Select Committee on Narcotics, pending the introduction of amendments concerning benefit denial provisions. Effective April 1993, the committee disbanded.
Matter: In deliberating on whether to eliminate court discretion in making convicted drug offenders ineligible to receive federal benefits, Congress needs to consider if the benefits that may be achieved would be worth the burden placed on the courts and administrative agencies.

IT as a Service Reference Architecture
For an IT department these are perilous times indeed. All around you public cloud vendors are offering IT services on an easy to procure, elastic and often inexpensive basis. Many of the developers in your organization may have already concluded that getting resources provisioned for development and test projects is easier at Amazon.com than it is through your internally offered processes. If you are aware that this is happening you can console yourself by saying, "it is only development – not production", but you should wonder what should you do to make sure that those workloads come back when they do go into production.
Is VMware vCloud Director an effective Enterprise IT as a Service Platform?
One of the key themes of VMworld 2010 was "IT as a Service". IT as a Service is simply the next logical step beyond virtualization. The key parts of the evolution from virtualization to IT as a Service is that IT as a Service involves a self-service aspect where business constituents can select "services" that are then automatically provisioned and delivered to them, and the notion of secure multi-tenancy within an enterprise's data center for the purpose of separating the environments of multiple business units, departments or divisions much in the same way that a public cloud vendor must separate the environments of Coke and Pepsi.

After two hours of electrifying message, Pawan Kalyan has given a clear message that his 'Jana Sena' is against Congress party and given a call to curb Congress out from the country.
Pawan Kalyan has given a straight warning to all Congress leaders to stop their divisive politics. 'We have give power to your hand, but you have backstabbed us. We are deeply hurt by your party and we are bleeding now. We are not going to allow you to rule our country anymore and disturb the national integrity of the country', said Pawan Kalyan, on a finishing note. Powering his voice to the maximum, Pawan shouted, 'Congress Hatao, Desh Ko Bachaav'.
At the same time, Pawan Kalyan made his opponents clear that, he is not going to spare TRS for the kind of vulgar language they use and for their feudalistic approach. His agenda looks pretty clear that 'Jana Sena' is quite against Congress and TRS, but is ready to shake hands with any other party for the betterment of Andhra and Telangana people.

Argentine President to Rest a Month After Head TraumaDaniel Cancel and Andrew Willis
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been ordered to rest for a month as doctors yesterday said she suffered a head trauma after complaining of a headache and irregular heartbeat.
Fernandez, 60, on Aug. 12 suffered a previously undisclosed head trauma for which tests had been negative, presidential spokesman Alfredo Scoccimarro said in a statement late yesterday.
"A month of rest has been prescribed as well as a continual and strict clinical tracking," Scoccimarro said in the statement.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff declared her solidarity via twitter today with her Argentine counterpart, while Buenos Aires governor Daniel Scioli expressed his "preoccupation."
Responsible decisions will be taken to cure "the health of the president and not expose her to a greater risk like the demands of this work," Scioli told a local radio station, according to La Nacion. "We must continue with all our work and the management agenda."
Fernandez, who last spoke in public on Oct. 4, will turn day-to-day operations over to Vice President Amado Boudou during the period of rest. Her medical issues arise as Argentina prepares to hold midterm congressional elections on Oct. 27. In primaries to select candidates, Fernandez's ruling alliance received just 26 percent of the nationwide vote, its worst result in a decade.
'Significant Development'
"The vast majority of decisions recently have been taken by the president," Fabian Perechodnik, an analyst with Poliarquia Consultores, said by phone from Buenos Aires. "If she's not there for a month, exactly when there are elections, it's a significant development. It's going to change the political dynamic."
Fernandez, who was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2011, has canceled trips and events in the past due to low blood pressure and had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer before doctors determined the tumors removed in January 2012 weren't cancerous.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My wife noticed a charge of $21.05 for PC Protect on our Verizon phone bill and knew this was an unauthorized charge because we have a virus protection service. When she called this company, they claimed I ordered this service but this is a complete lie because she manages everything for the phone and computer. PC Protect falsely charged us for a service which we did not order and did not use for at least 4 months and without providing anything lied by saying I must have ordered this service. We called Verizon and they said they would look into this but they have not credited us for these false charges and they have enabled this phoney PC Protect Company to attach these charges to our bill.

Mi Kammoben
Somewhere between prose and poetry.
"I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me."
Why? Why did I screw it up? Was it all me?
Possibly not.
She told me she loved me. Her kammoben. Her 'heart spirit'. And I realised I loved her too.
Maybe too much. She still had a connection to her ex who had told her he didn't love her after quite a few years.
You'd think he'd have figured it out sooner.
I wanted to be with her, to posess her, to join with her. Maybe she just wanted a guy with a ready-made powerful reality. I had one.
(Note the past tense.)
And it shifted and warped to her own. Maybe she wanted this subconsciously. Maybe she was disappointed that she was able to mould it so easily.
Maybe she didn't realise that our realities, our hopes and dreams weren't as different as she would later decide.
We split one weekend. A violent weekend. Not physically, but emotionally. I was reading signs that she was backing away.
Maybe having second thoughts, but she was a bit committed to what she'd said before to make it a clean break.
She told me about other guys chasing her. Mentioned them a lot.
She asked me if I thought I was a rebound.
It did make sense.
She showed me a glimpse of happpiness, then tore it away.
She kept in contact. She said she didn't want me to wait, but sent me a gift. A book. It meant something to both of us.
Hope flared. But she wanted me to end us completely as she wasn't strong enough to.
It killed me. Again.
We got back in touch again a month or so later. Met at a friend's party (same as where we'd first met). There she ended it. The circle was complete.
I died again.
I talked to our mutual friend. Somehow the story had shifted when my kammoben had been telling it.
My chance to tell it rose an eyebrow. The friend believed me. Some of my love's stories didn't quite add up.
Her actions didn't match her words.
I learned some new things about her. The emptiness and aching was fading. So soon.
She genuinely did care. She probably did love me. I may even have been her kammoben. A once in a lifetime connection.
But I can face the day again. The shields are back up, but she showed me how good it can be when they come down.
And one day, they may come down again.
For that, I thank her.

- My two dogs absolutely love this food. Usually, they turn their noses up during meal times. When I served this food, they gobbled it up! I feel good about serving this healthy food to them, and they are excited to eat now. Very easy to prepare and convenient.
- Living in New Jersey this is hard to find so I was using Sojos my dog ate it ok but when I got this he scarfed it down and asking for more!! Thank you Vino
- My two pups absolutely love this food. I'd been wanting to find something a step up from the traditional dry food. This is great. Only 3 minutes to soak in the water and it's ready to go. And I know they are getting some water intake on a day-to-day basis. Which makes me happy. I have already purchased more.
- My bloodhound has bad allergies, this helps keep it under control!
- Well I think I may have found it! I have been looking for almost a year for the perfect dog food for my babies. Something made in the USA, not in China! My boss has several Australian Shepard that compete in agility trials and this is what he feeds them. So one day i asked him about the food and then i decided to give it a try. Having four dogs myself, I've tried to locate and healthy food at an economic/affordable price. At first i ordered some samples for $1. I mixed it with the food I had been feeding them and they loved it! So I ordered more to gradually introduce to them. Did I say they loved it!?! So now, over the weekend I gave them only THK and they beg for more! Its not been long enough to know for sure but I think its going to reduce their waste as well. So far so good!

Lovely: Chapter ThirteenMature
It's funny, the way life so easily sways back and forth. How one day everything seems so certain, and then suddenly none of it makes any sense. When I awoke, there was a note on the pillow beside me. I recognized Everette's handwriting immediately, the ways it looped and swirled, how some points were so much darker than the others.
My dearest Calla,
Something's called me away for a few days. Worry not, love. I shall return to you soon. And then we will depart into the world. Together. Take good care of my heart while I'm gone.
Yours, always
I reread it at least three times, my clenched hand crumpling the edges a bit. So Everette had just..left? No farewell kiss, no indication of where he was or when he'd be back. He'd just vanished.
I didnt realize I was crying until a few drops fell upon the note, blurring into the ink. I watched it as it mixed and rolled down the paper like a miniature river. Then I set the note back down and pushed myself from the bed.
At least this gave me a bit more time to enjoy the beach, the ocean, and all that was California. I didnt know where Everette planned to take me next, what wonders, or perils, he had in store. But with him, no expense would be spared. The vampire would travel to the ends of the earth to give me real, raw beauty.
I took my time getting ready, if only for the distraction. I traced my violet eyes lightly in eyeliner and covered my lids with a silvery shadow. I curled my hair to obivion, until a cascade of wild ringlets framed my face. I chose a pair of tight, dark jeans and a simple black tank top with a low v-neck.
"Perfect," I said aloud to myself, breaking through the silence. "Lovely."
When I set off, my stilettos clicking upon the pavement, I didnt really know where I was going. It was already late in the afternoon; I'd slept the day away after my romantic night with my lover. The sun was resting lazily over the lulling waves. People dotted the beach, surfing and laughing and otherwise unaware of the demon watching them from the distance.
Familiarity took over me then, and I found myself outside of the bar to which Everette had first sent me. Most of the rowdy crowd was absent, but there was one person I recognized, sitting in the back. In the place where the darkness congregated.
I greeted him with a wide smile, hoping that some of my natural light might radiate into his shadows. Save him, maybe, if he needed it. "Hello, Demrin," I said, sliding into the seat across from him.
"Calla," he said with a grin of his own. "I wasnt sure I'd ever see you again, the way you left.."
I shushed him gently, reaching over to trail my fingers over his forearm. "I guess I just couldnt stay away."
And it was true. I wanted so very much to hate myself for the way my heart was racing, my blood thickening in my veins. For the way I was leaning in towards him, reveling in how he couldnt quite keep his eyes from straying over me.
Everette would understand, I told myself. I was a succubus. I needed to fuck and feed and kill in order to live. Surely I could just enjoy a few hours of pleasure, and then Demrin would let me tear him apart. Just to feel him against me, through me...
"Everything okay?" Demrin asked, bringing me out of my tangled thoughts.
Yes," I snapped, too quickly. "I, um...I'd like to show you something."
Demrin raised an eyebrow, his gaze bubbling over with suspicion. But he didnt pull away from my touch. He let me continue to draw cirlces over his skin, devouring him with my heavy stare. I was losing control, digging my nails into the palm of my hand to stop myself from lunging over the table at him.
"Please," I whispered. "Let me take you to my house. I promise I'll hold back." Lies. Lies. All of it was a lie.
Demrin remained silent for a long while. I swallowed hard, bit down on my bottom lip and tried to look uninterested.
"Okay," he said finally. "Okay. Let's go."

Gander Stakes
The Gander Stakes is an ungraded stakes race for New York bred Thoroughbred race horses, three-years-old and older, run at Belmont Park or at Aqueduct Racetrack. The Gander serves as a prep for the $100,000 Evan Shipman Handicap running at Belmont Park which is restricted to New York breds.
Inaugurated in 2005, and named for one of New York state's favorite home-breds and racing millionaires, Gander, the race is set at one mile and 70 yards (1 and 1/16th miles) and offers a purse of $70,000 added.
This race is not listed on either the official Aqueduct or Belmont sites as running in 2009.

Eli Lilly Sell For 8.8% Win In 12 Days
December 29, 2016: Sell Eli Lilly for an 8.8% gain in 12 trading days. Congratulations if you were able to make money on the trade.
December 16, 2016: Adocia and Lilly announce successful completion of an insulin pump study with BioChaperone Lispro in people with Type 1 diabetes. This is a successful completion of an insulin pump study under the Adocia-Lilly partnership evaluating BioChaperone Lispro, an ultra-rapid formulation of insulin lispro licensed to Lilly. This formulation uses Adocias proprietary technology BioChaperone, designed to accelerate insulin absorption.
This study was the first to compare, in people with type 1 diabetes, the post-prandial glycaemia and pharmacokinetic response to an individualized mixed meal after a bolus of BioChaperone Lispro and Humalog(insulin lispro rDNA origin), administered with two different Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) systems (Roche Accu-ChekSpirit and Medtronic ParadigmVeo) immediately before a meal. The study also investigated the effects of both agents administered subcutaneously with a syringe.
Exec: "We are pleased to confirm that BioChaperone Lispro consistently delivered ultra-rapid insulin absorption compared to Humalog in the two insulin pumps tested. This increased early insulin exposure translated into improved post-prandial glucose control. Thus, BioChaperone Lispro has demonstrated a consistent absorption profile across multiple studies, different populations, and, now, different delivery modes."
This was a two-part study. The first part comparing the products in the Roche Accu-ChekSpirit pump did not clearly demonstrate an advantage for BioChaperone Lispro. The second part involved more subjects and included three devices: Roche Accu-ChekSpirit pump, Medtronic ParadigmVeopump and insulin syringe. In this latter part 44 subjects were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, 2-treatment, 4-period cross-over, active controlled clinical trial to investigate BioChaperone Lispro compared to Humalog in CSII. During the treatment period, patients made four, 2-day visits to the clinic interspersed with wash-out periods. On the day of each visit, patients were subjected to a meal-tolerance test (MTT) after receiving one of the two treatments immediately prior to the meal using one of the two pumps (Day 1), or the same treatment using a syringe (Day 2) on top of basal delivery.
One primary objective of the second part of the study was to compare the absorption profile of BioChaperone Lispro vs. Humalog, when administered immediately before an individualized mixed meal, with the selected pump models and syringes. BioChaperone Lispro U100 demonstrated a statistically significant increase in insulin exposure over the first 30 minutes compared to Humalog in the two pumps tested: early exposure was increased by 33% in the Roche pump (primary endpoint, p=0.0007) and by 54% in the Medtronic pump (p<0.0001). This was consistent with a comparable increase of early insulin exposure for BioChaperone Lispro vs. Humalog using syringes on top of basal administration with a Roche pump (+71%, p<0.0001) and with a Medtronic pump (+83%, p<0.0001).
BioChaperone Lispro was associated with a consistent pattern of improved response to mixed meal testing compared to Humalog. In the Roche pump a statistically significant 83% reduction (p=0.0018) in the 2hr blood glucose excursion has been shown while a non-significant 12% reduction in the 2hr blood glucose excursion has been observed with the Medtronic pump. When delivered as a bolus from syringes, on top of basal delivery with an insulin pump, BioChaperone Lispro was also associated with significant reductions in the 2hr blood glucose excursion vs. Humalog (-56% with the Roche pump (p=0.0008) and -61% with the Medtronic pump (p<0.0001)).
Both BioChaperone Lispro and Humalog were similarly well tolerated. No new or unexpected safety findings were observed and no local reactions were seen on the site of administration for either treatment.
The registry on clinicaltrials.gov for this trial (NCT02562313) has been updated.
December 15, 2016: Morgan Stanley raised Eli Lilly to an Overweight rating, from Equal Weight, and set a price of target of $82.
December 15, 2016: Goldman Sachs adds Eli Lilly to its conviction buy list.
December 15, 2016: Eli Lilly and Co BASAGLAR (insulin glargine injection 100 units/mL), a long-acting Basal Insulin, is now available in the U.S. Eli Lilly and Company and Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that BASAGLAR(insulin glargine injection 100 units/mL) is available by prescription in the U.S. BASAGLAR is a follow-on insulin to Lantus. It is a long-acting insulin with an amino acid sequence identical to Lantus, another U-100 insulin glargine.
In December 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved BASAGLAR as a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes. BASAGLAR should not be used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. BASAGLAR should not be used during episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or in people with an allergy to insulin glargine or any of the ingredients in BASAGLAR.
With resources designed to be simple, BASAGLAR goes beyond just insulin by offering helpful support for people beginning insulin. These bilingual resources include an app for smartphones and tablets to provide an interactive experience that helps patients relax and guides them through injection using their BASAGLAR KwikPen, injection demo kits (available through HCPs), and access to educational videos. Do NOT reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed.
BASAGLAR will be available by prescription from retail and mail order pharmacies across the U.S. As the top three pharmacy benefit managers have selected BASAGLAR for their formularies, it is expected to be widely covered by commercial insurance plans. In addition, Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim will offer a BASAGLAR savings card for eligible people.
December 12, 2016: Eli Lilly and Company said to offer a 40% discount on top insulin products for patients with no health coverage or have high deductibles, bypassing insurance companies. I didn't know drug makers could do that. Let's see if insurance companies try and take Eli Lilly to court.
December 12, 2016: Eli Lilly and Company raised their dividend 2% to $0.52 from $0.51 (indicated yield 3.1%). The dividend is payable March 10, 2017, to shareholders of record at of the close of business on February 15, 2017.
December 12, 2016: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Synjardy XR (empagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride extended-release) tablets for adults with type 2 diabetes. When used along with diet and exercise, SYNJARDY XR is indicated to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when both empagliflozin and metformin can be taken. It is marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY).
SYNJARDY XR is a combination of empagliflozin and metformin two medicines with complementary mechanisms of action to help improve blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, removes excess glucose through the urine by blocking glucose re-absorption in the kidney. SYNJARDY XR is the fourth FDA-approved treatment that contains empagliflozin. Metformin, a commonly prescribed initial treatment for type 2 diabetes, lowers glucose production by the liver and its absorption in the intestine.
The FDA approval of SYNJARDY XR is based on results from multiple clinical trials examining the co-administration of empagliflozin and metformin, alone or in combination with sulfonylurea, in the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes. SYNJARDY XR is not for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
December 5, 2016: Piper Jaffray reiterates an Overweight rating on Eli Lilly, and sets a price target of $97.

New drug Multaq could dramatically reduce heart rhythm disorders, which can cause breathlessness and prove deadly
Tens of thousands of strokes could be prevented each year in patients with a common heart rhythm disorder, say researchers.
Findings from the largest trial of its kind show that Multaq reduced the chances of stroke by more than a third in those with atrial fibrillation.
The drug has already been shown to cut heart deaths by 30 per cent and the risk of hospital treatment and deaths from any cause by 25 per cent in earlier results from the same trial.
But findings on strokes released yesterday are highly significant because atrial fibrillation, known as AF, accounts for about 30,000 out of 150,000 strokes each year in the UK. Problems with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat are known as arrhythmia.
Multaq is an anti-arrhythmic drug and is being hailed as the first advance in 20 years in tackling AF and the separate condition of atrial flutter which affects almost a million Britons.
Many AF patients need long-term drug treatment such as blood thinners and anti-clotting agents to stabilise a fast and erratic heartbeat-that can cause serious complications such as angina and heart failure.
In cases of AF the upper chambers of the heart are out of rhythm, which can result in the heart beating at a rate of 150 to 170 beats a minute rather than the normal range of 70 to 90.
The condition generates tiny blood clots which are sent around the body and can trigger a stroke. More than 4,500 patients with AF from 33 countries, including the UK, took part in a trial called Athena to investigate the effectiveness of Multaq, also known as dronedarone, on top of standard therapy.
Half of the patients, who were all at high risk of suffering heart complications and stroke, were given a dummy treatment or placebo.
After treatment lasting at least a year, the researchers found a 34 per cent cut in risk of stroke compared with those taking placebo.
The most frequently reported side-effects were gastrointestinal, such as tummy upset. This was seen among one in four users.
The findings were presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Munich.
Professor Stuart Connolly, of McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada, who led the study, said it was a landmark trial. 'It is the first time that an anti-arrhythmic drug has shown a significant impact on cardiovascular outcomes,' he said.
'As stroke is one of the leading complications of atrial fibrillation, and a major cause of death and disability, these results demonstrate the unique profile of Multaq beyond its pure rhythm and rate-controlling effects.'
Dr Pete Coleman of the Stroke Association said: 'This is very encouraging.'

text: EUR/USD update (3rd July 2012, 06:00) Market Moves Staff in Forex News 3 Jul 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share In US trade, the euro reversed some of its stellar gains of the previous session as the initial euphoria over a series of initiatives designed to bring stability to the European banking system began to wane. Once again, the structural realities (read, difficulties) of the eurozone reared their ugly head when the Finnish government announced that Finland and the Netherlands will block ESM bond buying in the secondary markets.This should serve as a timely reminder to global financial markets that anything agreed by EU leaders still needs to be ratified by each nation's respective governments – no easy task in this environment where 'one size does not fit all'. Also not helping the euro's cause was another set of lacklustre European economic data. June manufacturing PMIs for Germany, France and Italy did not serve up any nasty surprises, but they all remained stuck below the 50 threshold at 45.0, 45.2 and 44.6 respectively.The corresponding PMIs in the UK and Switzerland beat expectations, however the broadly weak data now has the market's focus squarely on the upcoming ECB meeting, where there are growing expectations that a rate cut of as much as 50 basis points is on the cards. Having ended yesterday's Australian session around the 1.2625 level, the euro drifted to close US trade at 1.2576. Upon resuming for Asian trade, the euro has edged up marginally into the mid-1.2580 range.
