A/N: Here we are at Chapter 8! :) I'm pretty sure this will be the last chapter, so please R&R!
Disclaimer: Do I own iCarly? No, I don't. So sad. . . .
Chapter 8: Sacrifices
I'm not exactly sure what happened after that. All I remember was opening my eyes to find myself very much alone back in the iCarly studio.
But was I back in the right spot in time? Was I really in the future?
Glancing down at my wrist, I saw that the silver watch was still there, though it had undergone an odd change: The face had been completely smashed in, making the numbers and hands unreadable.
What did that mean?
I suddenly didn't want to think about anything but bolting out of the room . . . and so that's what I did.
I ran down the stairs, almost tripping over my feet in my haste to reach the bottom floor.
"Carly? Freddie? Spencer?" I called as I reached the last step, looking frantically around the room.
In less than a second, I was being embraced by Carly, who was apparently trying to hug me to death. I didn't notice she started crying because I saw the very person I had risked my life for standing just out of reach: Freddie Benson.
I could only stare, slightly open-mouthed, at him. He was staring back at me, some sort of immense relief washing over him, while Spencer came over and joined Carly in the Hugging Sam fest.
What was going on?
Carly and Spencer pulled back. Carly sniffled, then looked directly at me, and asked, "Where have you been? We thought you were dead!"
Dead? What an obvious sign that things weren't quite back to normal.
"I - What?"
"You've been missing for the last three days!" Carly informed me. "You disappeared, and no one could find you anywhere! Spencer even called the police and went down to the station to file a missing person report after the first twenty four hours because I hadn't seen you here since the day before!" Everything she said was like an accusation, like she believed I had purposely vanished from her sight.
"I'm sorry" was all I could manage. I knew it was a lame thing to say, but I couldn't tell her where I'd really been.
"Where were you?" Carly asked.
"Just . . . out."
"It doesn't matter where I've been, you wouldn't believe me if I told you, anyway," I said impatiently. "What did you guys tell my mom?"
"I called her and told her you were spending a few days over here," Spencer replied.
"And Principle Franklin?"
"Freddie and I told him you were really sick," Carly said.
I shrugged. "I'll just fake a doctor's note then. That should cover my absences."
Carly flashed a small smile at me.
There were a few moments of silence before Spencer spoke up. "I'm gonna head down the police station and sort everything out," he said, now heading for the door. He pointed a finger at me. "Stay put. I'll be back soon, okay?" And then he was gone.
Carly hugged me again almost immediately. Over her shoulder, I saw Freddie staring at the floor, his hands shoved deep into his jean pockets. He seemed to be in deep concentration, studying the floorboards.
"Come on," Carly said. "Let's go up to the studio and do a great iCarly webcast. We still have those idea cards," she added. She rushed up the stairs, leaving Freddie and me behind.
I tried several times to say something to him, but nothing came out.
"You know, Carly was really worried about you," he finally said without looking up.
I swallowed and cleared my throat, trying to force my voice to work. It ended up coming out kind of raspy. "And were you?"
He shrugged; he was now looking at his feet, refusing to meet my gaze. "You could say that, I guess. At least, Carly told me I acted. . . ." Freddie trailed off. A few seconds passed, and then he looked up at me. I could see a slight smile on his face now. "It's nice to know you're okay, Sam."
"Thanks," I said.
I knew a new iCarly webcast would take all our minds off of what had happened, even if the events were a little different for me. It was Carly's way of starting to get things back to normal. And at the moment, normal was all I wanted.
"So, I guess we'd better get on with the webcast."
"Yeah," Freddie said. "Let's go."
The webcast helped improve things for the remaining week of school. I took my faked doctor note to Principle Franklin, who hardly glanced at it, saying he was glad I was back. True, I hadn't taken many sick days from school at one time, but I was surprised by his happiness. What could make him smile like that? I shrugged it off, telling myself that it was insane to think he'd actually missed my troublemaking.
Carly was much more relaxed and comfortable to see my locker was being used, that I was actually there by her every time she was at her own.
Freddie was avoiding me as much as possible, which wouldn't have bothered me before I'd gone back in time, but since I had, I started getting more and more curious. He'd barely said anything to me.
I kept the broken watch on in hopes that he would catch sight of it. Would he remember?
The last day of school came and went, which meant a relaxing summer was on its way.
That weekend, I drifted into Freddie's apartment, knowing Mrs. Benson was out, and also knowing Freddie wasn't. I made my way out onto the fire escape, trying to collect my thoughts before I went and talked to him. What if he didn't remember?
I looked over my shoulder to see Freddie behind me. "Oh, hey."
He took a hesitant step forward. I took notice of his narrowed eyes and had the urge to laugh. "What are you doing here, exactly?" he asked slowly.
"I just wanted to talk," I replied.
"To me?" he asked incredulously.
I nodded.
"What for?"
I sighed. "Do you know the real reason I was gone for three days?"
I hadn't meant to blurt it out that way, but it was too late to take the words back.
A small crease appeared between his eyebrows. "No, you didn't tell anyone. You just took off."
Did that mean he didn't remember?
Freddie pointed to the silver watch. "Why do you wear that thing if it's broken?"
I smiled at that. "You would freak if I told you."
He nodded, taking my word for it. I supposed if he'd done and seen enough freaking out to last him a lifetime.
"Why have you been avoiding me?" I demanded.
"You'd freak if I told you," he said.
I laughed once. "All right, try me."
He took a deep breath and put a hand behind his head, trying too hard to seem casual. "You know, I was . . . worried when I found out you were missing." Freddie lowered his arm and then hurried on in a rush, looking at something in the distance: "I mean, Carly was worried, which made me worry -"
"Yeah, sure," I said, folding my arms. "Okay."
"So what's your excuse for disappearing?" he asked abruptly.
"Whoa, slow down." I held up both my hands. "One question at a time, Benson."
"Fine," he said. "I guess I can take a little more freaking out. What's with the watch?"
"Oh, this." I held up my wrist to show him the broken wrist watch. "Well, honestly, I was only wearing it because I wanted you to notice it."
He became even more confused. "Why, did you want me to fix it or something?"
I shook my head, staring down at my wrist. "No, I don't want you to fix it." I touched the band, where the hour glasses were engraved.
Struck by a sudden idea, I unfastened it. "Here," I said, holding it out to him. "Maybe you'll understand when you look at it closer." I was really hoping he'd remember something, anything. . . .
He took the watch from me and examined it for a moment. And then -
It was like watching it all in fast forward as I looked deep into his eyes. It was as if his contact with the watch had revealed the forgotten memories of my traveling back in time to save his life.
The flashes left his eyes, and he let out a great rush of breath.
"Whoa," he said. After another moment, he continued, "So they weren't just dreams."
My eyebrows rose in slight surprise. "You've been having dreams?"
"Every night since you left," he replied. His eyes were hazed over, like he was trying very hard to remember. "It was like a story, they continued, one after the other. . . ." Freddie finally glanced at me. "It wasn't all in my head, was it?"
The left corner of my mouth rose. "Unfortunately, no."
I gave him some time to let that sink in.
"So I believe you owe me a month's worth of whatever I want." I paused. "And there's no way you're getting out of this -"
I froze and stopped talking. Freddie had dropped the watch in what appeared to be shock.
"Freddie?" He had that faraway look on his face again.
Then he glanced at me, and sudden realization was in his eyes. He leaned forward -
And then I was flying.
I smiled against his lips, overwhelmed with joy. It wouldn't matter that no one else besides us knew what had really happened.
One thing he'd said came floating back into my mind at that moment, that the watch had been the key to saving his life. It looked like the watch had also been a key for me, a key to my happiness.
"I love you, too, Sam."
It seemed that my sacrifices hadn't all been for nothing.

Yesterday they got their chance at the Island Green, TPC's #17. Ray Farnell, Greg OwenGÇÖs caddie, left his shot 5 feet 3 inches from the hole- winning the mini event.

Fotodiox Pro TOUGH E-Mount
Replacement Lens Mount for Sony NEX & E-mount Camera Bodies
SKU: FDX-Tough-EMount
Sony's line of E-Mount (previously called "NEX") cameras are amazingly powerful little cameras, but they have one flaw. The lens mount is a two part construction, with the critical component that holds the lens in place made of plastic. This is why any lens you attach to an E mount camera is prone to wiggling, especially longer pro lenses. Fotodiox has created the solution - 'The TOUGH E-Mount' modification kit. Anyone can replace the original 2 piece NEX mount on their camera with an all-metal one in about five minutes. All you need is a jewelers screwdriver (phillips) to remove and replace four little screws.
Compatible Cameras
All Sony Alpha NEX E-mount Camera Bodies, Including
Sony Alpha α7, α7r, a6000
Sony NEX-3, NEX-5, NEX-C3, NEX-5N, NEX-7, NEX-F3, NEX-5R, NEX-6
Sony NEX-VG10, NEX-VG20, NEX-VG30, NEX-VG900, NEX-FS100, NEX-FS700, NEX-EA50

ITV are about to spend a whopping £781 million to own the rights of Talpa Media, which was founded by Big Brother creator John De Mol. The company are the people behind The Voice, I Love My Country and Dating In The Dark.
The company have produced 75 different shows in the last 6 years, the most successful being The Voice which is currently aired in 180 nations. Initially ITV will pay £355 million for the production company and any further payments are dependant on a successful 8-year profit performance.
ITV chief executive Adam Crozier is excited about the deal:
The acquisition of Talpa builds on the success of our international content business and is absolutely in line with our desire to create and own formats that travel. John de Mol and his team have an incredible track record of doing that consistently over many years and I'm delighted to welcome them to the ITV family.This is a great opportunity for ITV to accelerate its progress in building a global content business of scale.
So was Jon De Mol himself:
Of all the potential partners for Talpa, there's no doubt ITV is the best fit. For Talpa this represents a fantastic opportunity for strong further growth. It also enables me personally to concentrate and focus even more on creating new, groundbreaking content.

HK journalism students get taste of the real thing
Twenty Hong Kong journalism students and four teachers returned to the city yesterday after seven days in Beijing covering the congresses.
The trip was organised by the Journalism Education Foundation and participants came from the University of Hong Kong and Chinese, Baptist and Shue Yan universities.
With the support of the South China Morning Post, Sing Tao Daily, Hong Kong Economic Times and Commercial Radio, the students were given first-hand experience in covering the two major national events.
Students went to the openings of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the National People's Congress, and joined the hundreds of reporters covering briefings held by officials and regional delegations. They also met journalism students from Peking and Tsinghua universities.
Apart from working with reporters to get quotes and pictures, the students also wrote for their own publications. Baptist University students uploaded articles to the website of their department's publication.
Adrian Wan Chun-ho, a third-year Baptist University student, said it was a wonderful experience.
'I have never seen, nor reported on, such a big event,' he said. 'It is an eye-opening experience.'
The chairman of the Journalism Education Foundation and editor of the Post, C.K. Lau, said the programme offered students a chance to broaden their international perspective and would help give them a better understanding of the country, so they would not merely cover news from Hong Kong's perspective.

England's Graeme Storm will seek forgiveness for missing his daughter's second birthday after claiming a share of the clubhouse lead in the rain-delayed Italian Open.
Storm carded an opening round of 67, five under par, to join fellow Englishman Robert Rock and Australian Marcus Fraser at the top of the leaderboard in Turin, with play set to continue until 9pm local time to compensate for a two-hour delay in the morning.
The 32-year-old former British amateur champion from Hartlepool had not planned on playing this week, but a shoulder injury, which contributed to his worst start to a season since 2005, forced his hand. "I thought if I played well in Seville last week I would not play as it was my daughter Grace's second birthday on Wednesday, but I missed the cut and here I am," explained Storm, winner of the French Open in 2007. "I shot 67 so hopefully she'll forgive me in time."
That missed cut in Seville was his fifth in eight events in 2010, although the former Walker Cup winner admitted he should never have played three of those tournaments on account of injury. Storm added: "This is the worst start to a season since I came back on tour. I was effectively out for four months with a rotator cuff injury in my left shoulder – bizarrely suffered playing water polo – and I'm just trying to get some form ahead of the big tournaments this summer. I injured myself in December but it was not diagnosed until I went to Abu Dhabi in January. I played three weeks in the Middle East and should never have played."
Storm almost did not play in Turin either after feeling "horrendous" when walking the Royal Park I Roveri course yesterday when rain washed out the pre-tournament pro-am.
"I felt horrendous after walking the course, I just sat down for an hour afterwards and then went to see the doctor and he told me I had a viral infection, some fluid in the inner ear," he added. "To shoot five under was a great score, I didn't expect it so maybe that's why, maybe I was relaxed.
"I played the front nine great but from the 11th to the 15th felt I was just trying to hang onto the score and dropped two shots before a good shot on the 15th perked me up."
Two more good shots on the 18th set up an eagle three to finish, although Storm admitted: "I pushed my second to the 18th a bit, I forgot the water was so near the green but knocked it to 12ft and holed it."
Fraser is seeking back-to-back victories after claiming the Ballantine's Championship in South Korea a fortnight ago, while Rock is still looking for his maiden Tour victory after finishing runner-up three times last year.
Home attention was focused on the professional debut of Italian teenager Matteo Manassero, who joined the paid ranks this week following a superb amateur career which saw him win the British Amateur Championship in 2009, finish 13th in the Open at Turnberry a month later and then 36th in the Masters at Augusta last month. And the 17-year-old did not disappoint with a typically composed round of 70, two under par, outscoring playing partner and European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie by six shots.
"He was very impressive, to do that as a 17-year-old," Montgomerie said of a playing partner almost 30 years his junior. "He has a good future ahead of him and I wish him all the best. My golf is non-explainable."
Manassero added: "It was a good round, I played steady for 18 holes. I really liked how I played. I was a little nervous, like always in the big tournaments, but fortunately I'm getting used to it.I don't want to rewind any part of my game. I didn't putt that well but I didn't have many chances so I like the way I played and hopefully it will stay like this."

Don't worry, it is bogus. Like Think Geek's canned unicorn meat, it does not actually contain platypus, which is a protected species.Delete
Oh my word. Those run the gamut from questionable to downright disgusting. The creamed possum, the platypus, and the bugs all made my stomach lurch.ReplyDelete
The chicken might not be too bad if you could get all that gelatinous gunk off the outside of it. Ha!
Oh no- That chicken is like a baby being born.ReplyDelete
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. The triumph of science over good taste. Blech.ReplyDelete
And I thought "potted meat product" was gross! o_0ReplyDelete
The cheeseburger picture looks like a rotting mouth with pointed teeth .
The creamed possum is a joke label, it's really filled with cream of mushroom soup. I got one from my brother-in-law as a joke for Christmas one year. (The guy is such a redneck hunter type I wasn't 100% sure it was fake.)ReplyDelete
Also, the canned bacon? Not that bad actually. It's a little saltier than I like my bacon and obviously soft, but otherwise in a pinch it makes a decent emergency BLT.
Silk worm pupae? I think I'm done eating. For the rest of my life.ReplyDelete

Cheese & Rice, I'm with you, Canarygirl. That is just pukeafying. However, after having read the book and seen the movie, if we ever get into a "The Road" situation, all of these (with the exception of the silk worms...I'll raise and eat humans before resorting to that shit) would look mighty tempting, about the fifth year into the apocalypse (?sp?).ReplyDelete

text: Tatler reviews the EastEnders Christmas special Clare Bennett loves EastEnders more than most things. So it seemed only right for her to review the big Christmas special... 23rd December 2013 Kieron McCarron/BBC How fondly we can remember Christmases of yesteryear on Albert Square. Arthur's breakdown over the stolen Christmas club money, Pauline keeling over dead and alone in the middle of the square, Archie getting his head caved in at the Vic. With the guarantee that at least one Christmas tree will get angrily hurled across a room, there'll be no passing out on the sofa after lunch for this lot.Putting the Ex into XmasTerry's ex Nicky seemed all right. And then it turned out that she wasn't remotely all right, she was a schemer. Who does she think she is, turning up to Bianca's house in her formal evening attire, shoving her home-made brandy butter in B's face and telling her the turkey looked dry? Bianca, as someone who does not traditionally favour restraint, managed to keep a lid on it until Nicky 'accidentally' spilt gravy all over her dress. As Janine had already started the Christmas tree hurling in the opening scene, Bianca quite rightly upped the stakes by flinging the turkey at hers, after decorating Nicky's dress with the contents of her plate and booting the Spraggens out. I'm slightly relieved because HOW have ten people been sleeping in that house?? I want to see a floorplan and I'm not joking.'My only love sprung from my only hate'The Montagues and the Capulets. The Jets and the Sharks. The Beales and the Mitchells. Yup, Lola and Peter are the latest to join the cannon of star-crossed lovers. Having bizarrely agreed to spend Christmas with the family of the person he loathes most in the world, Phil displayed some unknown facts about himself. He a/ can cook b/ WILL wear a paper crown and c/ has Cliff Richard's'Mistletoe and Wine'on his Christmas mix. He's not fussed about this silly relationship though because he's already told Ian to break them up using whatever means available to him - 'Have a break-down, wet your pants if you need to.' I think we can all be confident that Ian willin no wayput Peter's feelings first. Anyway!Star of DavidDavid's thing is no longer being a deserter. David's thing is now faaaam'ly. And if that means blackmailing Janine for £250k to get Carol the treatment she needs for her cancer - and maybe one or two nice silk suits for himself - then so be it. Janine, the murderous ex-prostitute property magnate nearly added David to her corpse-list of Barry, Michael and Danielle (all right, that was an accident) but arrgh, driving over the head of your step-brother is quite hard in the end. Like the Ghost of Christmas Past, Pat's memory was thrown between Janine and David as they wrestled with their consciences over who had the moral upper hand, but it was of no consequence in the end. Carol was mega unimpressed with David's Christmas present of a quarter of a million pounds and Janine was carted off by the boys in blue. The biggest news is that the Vic has quietly acquired a new boss, Britain's Hardest Landlord, Mick Carter. Danny Dyer has finally been unleashed on Albert Square. Nervous and excited. More Christmas humbug... Why Brian Sewell likes to spend Christmas alone

Alastair Cameron, CEO, Claverhouse Group
It's all about delivery: More than anything they [private companies] want to see that you can deliver what is promised, and there can be a fair degree of scepticism that a SE can deliver - not justified but it's there. I'm guessing that is the same for any business trying to break into an established supply chain however. A lesson that has had to be learned the hard way for us is the speed of response. When servicing a local authority, you can expect decisions to pass up and down the line and a fair amount of leeway on what you do and when. For the private sector, the decision is made, and if you can't deliver on Monday, you've missed your chance.
Demonstrate professionalism: Apart from the social/ environmental returns which we are usually quite good at expressing, I've found that we've been able to impress bigger companies with the sort of "due diligence" requirements. Probably because we have grown out of a very heavily regulated market, audited to death by every public body imaginable, it's actually a breeze to demonstrate effective health & safety policies, maintenance schedules, quality assurance etc. Even if it's not a requirement of the contract, it helps show we're professional.
Offer a quality alternative: I'm not often able to compete on price, especially just now when some smaller firms seem to be doing jobs at cost just to keep cash coming in. Quality of service is a selling point along with visible social return - we seem to be better at getting stories into the press than private sector. I tend to tone down my pitch on high social values in favour of high returns, as quite often the aspiration to do good is as strong in private sector as in social enterprise.
Alastair's top tips
- Preparation - know what you can offer and have examples of what you have done for others. Expect the contractor to be doubtful of your capacity and have the tools to counteract that
- Research - know what your competitors will be able to offer and what is expected to fulfil the contract
- Don't preach
- Tendering - have a bank of case studies that you can call on to illustrate your bid. A written tender gives a great platform for presenting the added value of social enterprise
Melanie Mills, Business Development, Social Enterprise West Midlands
Showcase your added value: They [private companies] want to see the same as they would get in the market from private sector suppliers - great product, service, price. The 'tip' point should be the added value that trading with a social enterprise brings. This is something that our sector needs to demonstrate in terms that the directors, shareholders and commissioners can quantify. This is why some of the social measurement tools can really help to spell this out.
Take on projects you know you can deliver: There is a fair amount of scepticism in the market around the professional delivery capacity of our sector, and we must work hard to change this perception. This one of the key reasons that we are looking to the leading enterprise and business networks such as the Chambers of Commerce and the Institute of Directors to help us present the opportunity that social enterprise presents for working in partnership, and first and foremost, to explain that social enterprise means business and is business. We are working on breaking down barriers by working with mainstream business organisations.
Melanie's top tips
- Find out what their WIIFM ('What's in it for me?') is
- Match your offer to their requirements
- Be competitive, don't be afraid to negotiate hard
- Inspire confidence in your ability to deliver
- Ensure you quantify the additional value or the benefit social enterprise brings to the relationship
Guy Ohlenschlager, Business Sales Manager, The Phone Co-op
Provide stability: One of the extra benefits we can deliver is business continuity. Most private companies end up being sold on to the highest bidder, sooner or later, with all the disruption that entails to the customer. As mutuals we have other motives to be in business and we are not looking for the earliest exit strategy. This provides good continuity of service.
Your reputation precedes you: We built the business largely with third sector clients, but found that as we developed a reputation for service and good value, we started picking up private sector business through referral, regional networks etc. As Alistair says, it is all about delivery first.
Adrian Quayle, National Outsourcing Association
Use your contacts: I suspect that the only way social enterprise will be able to break through is by networking. I see a lot of good will out there and a wish to ensure involvement of social enterprise.
Don't be an additional cost or worry: If the private enterprise felt that it needed to 'mico-manage' a social enterprise it had agreed to buy a service from (for example, to reduce the risk of non-delivery) this would definitely be seen as an extra cost. However this is not particular to social enterprise, it applies for all B2B relationships. 'Not delivering on the promise' creates additional costs. Demonstrating thoroughness in delivery and dependability builds trust in practice and reduces the need for extra cost provision

"... what a lazy teacher..."
The door opened, or rather, slammed open. It was a girl who had denied the school rules and came in with leggings. She had worn her white dress shirt, but it was layered with a gold-encrusted black vest. There was something about her, didn't know yet. Might be that the redhead had a short pixie hairstyle, with a side neat side parting and a crop cut fringe swept to the side. It made her a sore thumb, sticking out like that. I saw some students while walking here with red hair, but hers, hers were really red. Like an apple.
Mr. Spencer seemed to know who she was as he sighed. "Claire."
"Mr. Spencer," she replied.
"Well, since you're late, why don't you make an introduction."
"But you never do this kind of thing, Mr. Spencer. Am I really that special?" she chuckled. Either way, she didn't listen to his response and turned to the class. "My name is Claire—Claire Clarke—and I am the president of the student council. I'm actually surprised by the fact that we have, or should have, a full class." Her eyes scanned the place in search for something. I didn't know until she fixed her eyes on me, and smile slyly. "I hope that we will get along with each other just fine." That statement had been directed to me.
What did I do now?
Sighing, I glanced at the other students who were still peeking a look at me.
"Alright, thanks, you can go to your seat now. Get Haruko to go to class on test days, will you? It'd be nice."
"Don't worry," she said as she sat down. "I'll get her to attend class."
I assumed they were talking about the other empty seat. The class got really quiet—an awkward silence—after that. Even Mr. Spencer didn't know what else to say until one of the guys went ahead and started chatting up the place. It got his senses back and he went back to acting like a teacher. "Alright, since this is just a first day of class, I basically have nothing else to do, unless you wanted me to teach you guys English already."
"No," responded the entire class.
"Ah, alright," he laughed. "You guys have the rest of the period to yourself. Don't get too loud, or else I will give you all quizzes on something you haven't even learned yet and it will be your first F. Unless you were the smart ones and read it beforehand."
That teacher act went away the moment it started. How sad. People hopped off of their chairs and went by their friends. Conversations lapped over each other. I sat there, minding my own business. I could hear a little snicker from the redhead. What is her problem?
Ah… what a lazy teacher…
He sat down on his desk and went to his own business. Sometimes Claire would bother him, though I couldn't really hear what they said because of all the chatter around me. Then again, why did I want to know? Curiosity was a dangerous thing. It had gotten me—
Turning around, I saw Lunette sitting right next to me. She was fidgeting around awkwardly, like she was forced to talk to me. I just gawked, not replying, and waiting for her to continue. Though she didn't understand the fact that I usually didn't reply with a "what?" so we both ended up staring at each other for minutes. Or at least me gazing directly at her, she acted like a shy girl who was trying her best to confess to the person she loved but couldn't. Finally, one of us couldn't stand this anymore, and I had to speak up, "What?"
Author's Note: Claire's being introduced, yaaaay!

The loonie dropped to 1.6522 against the euro by about 12:50 am ET, compared to Friday's New York session closing value of 1.6462. If the Canadian currency slides further, 1.675 is seen as the next likely target level.

This dampener DOES work with fully-strung rackets. All you have to do is weave it through the strings below the lowest horizontal string then tuck the eyes between the crossing point of two strings.But despite the ease of use, I still way prefer the HEAD brand dampeners (also works with fully-strung rackets). They are cheaper, come in a two-pack and honestly work much better to deaden the string vibrations. Trust me, go with the HEAD brand dampeners or just use a nylon-wrapped hair tie; they are available at the dollar store and work well.

I have a racquet with an unusuall buzz when I hit it hard, this is the only dampener that takes it out. I have tried them all and for me this is the best.

Either I missed it or it wasn't made clear that you have to insert it when you are stringing the racket - not for use with strung rackets.

Best vibration dampener I've had.

Best string vibration dampener there is. Even if you don't use ektelon racquets. They go on and stay on. Stretch across the all the mains, so string vibration is gone. And they will work with multiple string formats.Tested this on two identical racquets, same tension in strings, same strings (use the second as back up when getting the first restrung). The vibration difference was not subtle! It was massive. You could even hear the difference.Have used head dampeners (which fall out easily), gamma worms (these are also good, just not as good 'cause they break) and even the rubber band trick (useless). These work and last forever. Sold my peers on it too once they played both racquets and felt the difference.They have an eyelet on the ends and your stringer can lace these in, but I typically just press them into place. The string friction holds them sufficiently.

The holiday was wonderful. Yes, you overdid it, but you enjoyed every moment. You ate too much, and to wash it down, you drank too much. Now you're back home and wondering if this bacchanalian excess was really such a good idea.
We've taken a look at the most common holiday excesses (whether you've been soaking up the sun in Siena or Southend) and asked food scientist Dr Lola Greene to weigh up just how evil they really are. We then turned to nutritional therapist Linda Lazarides, author of Treat Yourself with Nutritional Therapy (Waterfall, £15.99), and asked her for the antidotes to their malign effects on your body.
Wine just slips down on holiday but let's be generous and say you only averaged 10 bottles in a two-week stay - positively restrained.
Calorie Count: 5,100kcal (although if you plump for sweet white wine the total rises to 7,360kcal).
What it's done to you: "Wine in moderation is fine - but at this level it stresses your liver, can interfere with absorption of B vitamins and might damage your intestinal lining, allowing you to absorb more toxins," says Linda Lazarides.
The antidote: Follow this liver rejuvenation programme (for three weeks if possible): eat lots of broccoli and cabbage as well as dark blue and purple fruits (such as blueberries and grapes) and drink a daily glass of beetroot juice. Take a teaspoon of turmeric stirred into yoghurt every day. Take a daily capsule of lipoic acid (Country Life, £13.95 for 50 caps) to help restore glutathione levels (vital for liver health).
Four cans a day? Probably a conservative estimate. Let's round it off to 40 cans over the fortnight (missing off a few for days when the hangover saved you).
Calorie Count: 12,600kcal or a slightly lower 7,360kcal for the equivalent pints of draught lager.
What it's done to you: "You'll probably have added a few inches to your waistline," warns Dr Greene.
"Beer encourages weight gain, and at this level will also hit your liver," warns Lazarides.
The antidote: Watch the calories until you've lost your extra weight - stick to lean meat, salads and vegetable soups rather than eating rich foods (and lay off the lager). Get walking - preferably up and down hills (or pound the Stairmaster at the gym). Follow the liver rejuvenation program (as for wine). Take a vitamin B complex supplement, too.
Those Continental cooked meats such as salami, prosciutto and Parma ham slip down a treat before dinner. Maybe you didn't indulge every day but, say, 10 portions?
Calorie count: 2,140kcal if you chose salami; 1,500kcal for prosciutto.
What it's done to you: "More saturated fat," says Linda Lazarides, "but this time laced with very large amounts of salt and also nitrite preservatives which have been linked with cancer of the stomach. Too much salt disturbs the fluid balance in your cells and can raise your blood pressure."
The antidote: One of the best ways to clear residues of excess salt is to drink lots of celery juice. The biosodium it contains helps to keep the chemical sodium (from salt) in solution.
If you can't stomach celery juice try taking a calcium, magnesium and potassium supplement for a few days (Cal-Mag-Potassium, Country Life £10.95 for 90 caps). Snacking on sesame and sunflower seeds, almonds and fruit is another way to raise levels naturally.
If you have a sweet tooth, it's 10 to one you'll indulge it on holiday. Whether it's baklava in Greece or sticky buns in Morecambe, it's got to be at least one a day.
Calorie count: 5,950kcal for baklava; 3,710kcal if you went for strudel.
What it's done to you: "These are all laden with sugar and fat," says Dr Greene. "Too much sugar can trigger sugar imbalance which can lead to food cravings, anxiety and insulin imbalance. You're overloading your pancreas."
The antidote: Calm down your pancreas by going on a low-sugar regime and eating lots of beans and porridge. Their soluble fibre helps to slow down the absorption of sugar from your food and so prevents the blood sugar surges which stress the pancreas. Take a course of antioxidants to mop up the free-radical damage and also one of chromium picolinate (Country Life, £5.45 for 50 caps) to help balance blood sugar levels.
For the sake of argument let's go for foie gras, but it could equally be any of those lovely Continental pates or cheeses. One a day for lunch? Fourteen of those make a perfectly plausible total.
Calorie count: 8,750kcal for the foie-gras option; 7,980kcal if you chose brie.
What it's done to you: "It's enormously high in saturated fat so will be likely to raise cholesterol levels and put strain on your heart," says Lazarides.
The antidote: There's only one way to undo the effects of excess saturated fat and that's a cholesterol-reducing programme with loads of fruit, veg and oily fish such as sardines and salmon. Also take a course of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid, Higher Nature, £21.90 for 90 caps), which can help to clear arteries that have started to become clogged.
Cafe hopping racks up the caffeine levels - particularly when you're downing strong Continental coffee: 42 espressos, cappuccinos or Turkish coffees.
Calorie count: 3,780kcal for cappuccinos (unsweetened) which rises to 5,460kcal if you add two teaspoons of sugar; 5,020kcal if you plump for mocha. Just 300kcal for the black stuff - but look at the damage!
What it's done to you: "Caffeine is a drug-like stimulant," says Dr Greene. "It can cause symptoms such as anxiety and panic."
The antidote: Do your health a huge favour and kick the caffeine habit if you can. Camomile tea will help to calm you down, reducing the jangling nerves that make you crave coffee even more. A brisk walk in the morning will help to clear the cobwebs much better than the artificial caffeine high which is inevitably followed by a low later on.
Just can't do it? Take it slowly, first substituting decaf for a few cups, then coffee alternatives such as Caro or Barleycup.
Just one Cornetto? Hardly likely. Probably more like 10.
Calorie count: Up to 4,000kcal (Belgian chocolate ice cream is the worst).
What it's done to you: Saturated fats and sugar are the culprits here. "They add inches to the waistline," warns Lazarides.
The antidote: Kick the ice-cream habit as soon as you get home. If you're still hankering after something cold and sweet, try freezing fruit juice in a lolly maker. Needless to say, you'll need to follow the guidelines for pastries and baguettes, too, to reduce the illeffects of all that fat and sugar.

Sav: BroodingMature
Click, click, click, click, Sav listened to the fading footsteps of the General, watched the fading sun glint against the back of his scarlet and golden jacket as he walked away. Flexing the burned ruins of his hands, he imagined coiling his charcoal banners around the fat throat of the patch-faced ringleader until his one good eye popped out of his skull.
"No. That one is mine, my son," the voice whispered to his thoughts. Resigned, Savian turned and walked to his cart.
It was a dismal thing, his cramped confines at the back end of the Circus train. Splintered wood, a leaky ceiling, a lumpy pallet and a broken mirror were the totality of his chambers. At least it was dark. Savian could not ask for much more.
He lit a single taper and beheld his broken reflection upon the wall. The shattered fragments of the looking glass scattered his being and a thousand icy eyes stared back through the frame. The lone flame danced in the shadows, tracing the edges of Savian's jaw.
He'd grown pale and gaunt since his dealings with the cloaked man. His limbs were naught but withered flesh and bone, yet still he retained unnatural strength and balance. The skin of his face stretched tight over his jaw and cheekbones; he looked not unlike a skull veiled by a paper-thin mask. What have I become?
"What you were born to be," the voice whispered.
Savian snuffed the candle and walked off the halted train. The sun had set and a gloomy dusk settled upon the camp. Nightfall would see the train rolling again, Sinestro eager to reach the next performance ahead of schedule.
He turned to see the pompous General issuing more commands in that no-nonsense tone of his. A fallen angel, eh? he thought, vaguely amused. As I recall, they aren't the best news for Heaven.
Flexing his ruined hands, he set out into the gathering night in search of some unlucky ravens.

Nick Collins was tough.
Nick Collins was the defense's "quarterback," in the words of Ryan Pickett.
And now, the Green Bay Packers — their pass defense having gone from the penthouse to the outhouse — will try to defend their Super Bowl championship without Collins, a three-time Pro Bowler and big-play machine.
"It's definitely a punch in the gut," fellow safety Charlie Peprah said of Collins' season-ending neck injury.
"It's the unfortunate part of the game," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "We all know that it can happen on any given play. Nick, he's been a heck of a player for us and it's hard to replace a guy like Nick. We'll have to pick up and move forward."
They'll move forward with Peprah. The Packers were just fine with Peprah in the starting lineup last season, but that was in place of Morgan Burnett. The drop-off between Burnett — then a rookie who was feeling his way through things — and Peprah wasn't severe. In fact, in the short term, it might have been an upgrade.
However, the drop-off between Collins, with 17 interceptions over the past three seasons, and Peprah is enormous.
Last season, Collins intercepted five passes — including his pick-six that gave Green Bay a 14-0 lead in the Super Bowl. According to Pro Football Focus, Collins was targeted with 41 passes last season. Quarterbacks completed 17 of them (41.5 percent) for two touchdowns and a passer rating of 48.6. He missed eight tackles in 20 games.
By contrast, Peprah was targeted with 50 passes during his 923 snaps on defense. Quarterbacks completed 31 of them (62.0 percent) with one touchdown, two interceptions and a passer rating of 77.6. In the 16 games in which he replaced Burnett, Peprah missed a team-high 14 tackles.
"It's really an unfortunate situation," Peprah said. "You never want to assume this role with that type of injury. First and foremost, I just hope that he's going to be OK. I don't know all the details. My prayers go out to him and his family. It's an unfortunate deal. But we've just got to pick up right where he left off. I've got big shoes to fill and hopefully my teammates have confidence in me, and the coaches do, too."
While Collins is a true sideline-to-sideline defender, Peprah's range is limited. With better passes by Jay Cutler in the NFC Championship Game and Ben Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl, he would have given up touchdowns because Devin Hester and Mike Wallace used their speed to get behind Peprah.
With Collins and Burnett, the Packers had two burners in the back end of the secondary to either prevent big plays or prevent those big plays from becoming touchdowns. With similar skill-sets, Collins and Burnett weren't true "strong" and "free" safeties, with Capers using them interchangeably. Now, due to Peprah's athletic limitations, Capers will have to be somewhat more predictable, with Burnett being more of the centerfielder and Peprah playing more at the line of scrimmage.
At least Peprah will know what he's doing, which will be a vital asset with Burnett essentially being a rookie. For all of his flashy plays, Collins was the defense's glue.
"Nick has the most experience so those guys will have to pick it up," Capers said. "I think that's one of Charlie's strengths. We felt that last year once he was in there. Morgan's an intelligent guy. Morgan will have to really pick up his communication. It's not like we don't have someone that's had to do that in the past."
A second option would be using cornerback Charles Woodson essentially as a safety, a scenario they worked on occasionally during training camp and a personnel group they used to start the NFC Championship Game at Chicago. In those instances, it was Woodson pairing with Collins at safety, with Tramon Williams and Sam Shields at cornerback.
Now, it would be Burnett and Woodson at safety, with Williams and Shields at cornerback. In nickel, Jarrett Bush — an adept blitzer and physical tackler but suspect cover guy — would fill Woodson's role as the slot cornerback. Or, because Bush worked extensively at safety during camp, he'd enter the game at safety and Woodson would move to the slot.
However it shakes out, Burnett's going to have to grow up in a hurry. He hasn't been perfect in two games but Capers said he "couldn't be happier" with what he's seen. In Week 1, Burnett finished with 14 tackles. In Week 2, Burnett was the playmaker the Packers hoped they were getting when they traded up to grab him in the third round in 2010. He finished with six tackles, an interception, forced fumble and a critical sack after the Panthers had moved to within 1 yard of tying the game in the fourth quarter.
"There's been a couple things that we've had to correct but he's played very physical," Capers said. "You saw yesterday the tremendous play when he came and wrapped around and caused the fumble on Steve Smith that Charles recovered. You saw the overthrow, where he went down and got the interception on the 49-yard line. He had a sack where his man blocked and he came out of his coverage and went and sacked the quarterback. He's been playing very physical the first two games and he's a bright guy."
And now, Burnett's going to have to go from supporting player to playmaker, and team with his mentor Peprah to help rescue a pass defense that has been torched in the first two games.
"It's all about all 11 guys just being accountable out there," Burnett said. "Charlie is a vet. He has a lot of game experience under his belt. it's helpful to have a vet out there like Charlie. I think everything will be fine."

The cop thought he did a good job with the interview; he had a face for television, after all. Perhaps that cruddy little interview with the local nincompoop reporter would get picked up by one of the networks.
Maybe ALL the networks, he fantasized, and his eyes got dreamy. First on the scene was first on the scene, by God. This case was going to make him a star, get him out of that crappy little podunk town, and maybe get him someplace warm. He would like to do security for the spring breakers on Lake Havasu or Daytona or something. His smile broadened, he could certainly picture himself poolside and sipping some fruity rum concoction, that was for sure. Not too much rum, however, because the hot co-eds didn't want their security guy to some fat pig. He'd have to cut back on those sugary umbrella drinks pretty soon and possibly work out a little more.
Or start working out; that'd be good too.
That pain-in-the-ass reporter kept asking him inane questions, but the cop could scarcely offer any canny answers, for he was too distracted by her stupid ponytail which bobbed playfully from the side of her head. Really, who still did their hair in a side ponytail? Did this journalistic mastermind think she was Cyndi Lauper or something? Ugh, the things he was forced to endure working in a town with a population under five thousand. He was destined for the big time, he just needed to get there first.
After, the reporter thanked him and she and her cameraman packed up their stuff and got the hell outta Dodge so they could get back to the station and edit their story before anyone else could scoop them. It occurred to the cop that television reporting was a little cutthroat, and he decided that he rather liked that aspect of it. He got back to work putting up the police tape around the house.
And the Barn.
And the driveway.
And even the outhouse in the back yard. There was a body in there, too. The cop smiled, he had never before seen a real, live outhouse. More than anything, he wanted to check it out. He wanted to do another interview too, he figured that one with Cyndi Lauper was simply a rehearsal, a dry run. By the time Anderson Cooper arrived the cop would be on his A-game for sure. He hoped more reporters would show up soon.
"I see your true colors shining through," he sang under his breath as he ran another strip of yellow tape from the mailbox to a fence post in the side yard, which gave him an excellent vantage point of the Crime Scene guys working at the outhouse. The cop giggled to himself; it took a man who was comfortable with the choices he made to go out and buy a goddamned outhouse!
The cop crept closer to get a better view, 'til one of the Crime Scene a-holes yelled at him, "Hey! Officer Shit-For-Brains! You wanna get off the goddamn lawn please, before you ruin the evidence?"
Were they talking to him? "Huh?"
"Clean the Down's Syndrome out of your ears, jackass! Get back to the driveway or I'll have you shot!"
The cop retrieved his roll of police tape and thought, Crime Scene guys are kind of dicks.
All the while, the turkeys roamed around the front yard and feigned innocence , impressed with themselves that the authorities hadn't even glanced at them. The killers were in their very midst and they didn't suspect a thing, the fools!

The Superintendent Search is progressing nicely. Focus groups were held throughout the months of September and October with school administrators, teachers, support staff, parents, community leaders, township supervisors, senior citizens, high school students and the community at large. A total of 15 focus groups was conducted. A candidate profile is being developed along with a set of interview questions that center on the qualities and skills identified in the focus groups as being necessary for the next superintendent.
Anyone who was unable to attend one of the 15 focus groups but who would like to provide input to the School Board on the characteristics of the next superintendent may do so by emailing the answers to the following four questions to firstname.lastname@example.com:
Also, the Board is pleased to report that district has received much interest in the position and with almost two full months left before the application deadline has already received over a dozen applications from highly qualified school administrators from across the tristate area. After the application deadline of January 1, the Board will determine which of the applicants best meet the needs of the district. This process will include a paper screening of applicants and screening interviews followed by a series of in-depth interviews. The Board anticipates concluding the paper screening and beginning first-round screening interviews by February.
The Board is extremely appreciative of the staff and community's input and support during this very important process.
Superintendent Dr. Larry Mussoline has announced his retirement at the end of the 2016-17 school year. The Board of Directors is very grateful to Dr. Mussoline for his many years of service to the District and to education. Under his leadership, DASD continued its quest for excellence and has become one of the top ranked school districts in the state and in the nation.
