Arietta - Attack of the Agents
"Guys, look!" Draniei yells and we all turn to see what was up. It was a group of government agents surrounding a family of four. I feel a rush of the wind as Nix runs past me, determination in his eyes.
"Nix!" I yell running after him.
"Don't try and stop me!" He calls over his shoulder. I don't reply. I just keep trying to catch up to him and he's a really fast runner. I'm guessing he works out.
After a few seconds I finally catch up to him, Elmina following behind. I glance behind me and see everyone else running with us. When we reach the agents they turn to us.
"You are not to get in the way with government business." one of the more muscular men say. "You know the rules now get a move on it!"
"What did this family do to deserve this?" Nix demanded, glaring at each individual agent.
"Like I said, it's none of your business." the agent said. He took a step forward and shoved Nix back. That was all it took to get Nix and his Eloheim to attack. The rest of us followed in suit.

Generally speaking Succubi do not possess others. Now, that's not a rule mind you, but overall most Succubi seem to be quite happy with having their own forms and then mimic others to get what they want.
The idea of a Succubus, or for that matter, many Succubi possessing bodies is in itself an interesting idea… But the real question is how to approach that and make it interesting…
I'm not sire that possessing a group of stripper friends is the best way of going about things but…
- Title: Demon Sluts From Hell
- Author: Lauren Stone
- Publishing Date: January 8, 2012
- Length: 14 Pages
- This work at Amazon.com
The work is the story of:
Tammy just wants to dance on stage, but her lack of confidence is holding her back. She works as a shot girl at a strip club and is the only witness when six horny demons invade the bodies of her friends. These demons get their power from sex and sex comes easy when you're a beautiful stripper. Tammy will need to overcome her confidence issues in order to save the day and ultimately find herself on stage, where she knows she belongs!
Tammy serves drinks at a nightclub, but she wants to dance on stage. One, because she believes that her dance and ballerina training will help her, but mainly because she needs to make a lot more money to pay her school bills. In other words, Tammy is the stripper to be with the heart of gold that needs a break to get herself into a better place than she is at the moment.
There's more not to like about this work than there is to like about it. The main thing being that the author needs to spell check and grammar check their writing, Most of all they need an editor to help take this work from… well, B-grade porn film wanna-be to something better than that.
Honestly I don't think it would take all that much to manage it. There are a lot of things in the work that I did like. The idea of hell being offshore of New York was cute, the friends of Tammy were interesting, up until the point of them being possessed. I could even like the "bad guy" of the work as well… to a point.
But it's really difficult to read a work of erotica that seems like it was written as fast as possible and then shoved into the world without much thought being given to making the story interesting, the sex scenes hotter, and the characters people that you wanted to keep reading about.
The descriptions of what is going on seem… clinical, for lack of a better description. I like some heat with my erotica, but that heat coming from the characters saying do me baby oh yeah no, sorry but no, there are better ways to build heat than that.
There is a story in this, one that I really wanted to like, but from the first page I just found myself less and less interested in the entire thing and that's a shame. The idea is great, the execution leaves something to be desired and that… that shouldn't be.
I mean, we are talking about Succubi here. Speaking of the Succubi themselves, they were more interested in groping each other and making almost bimbo-like conversation that I just didn't like them at all. They were stereotypical in a lot of ways and that just turned me off further still.
One final note. This work is no longer published on Smashwords where I originally found it, but it is on Amazon currently. I can only hope that the author fixed the errors in the story first before they published on Amazon.
I'll give this work one pitchfork out of five.
The writing didn't flow well, the author needs an editor desperately, and there should be more "show" and a lot less "tell" then appears here. This author did write another work, this time with an Incubus in it that I'll review next week for the sake of completeness, but… we'll see.

The King's Namesake
King Duaryth enacts upon his Queen's dying wish, with disastrous consequences for the Kingdom of Carmun. Duaryth Spildor of loyalist blood joins the Humming Undercurrents, a radicalist movement plotting to overthrow the royal family.
Peace reigns supreme in the tranquil Kingdom of Carmun. The King is well, the people are content, and the valleys are as green as green as green. The Fountains are flowing, the Crescents are rolling, and the Rings are the symbol of Carmun's eternal harmony. Carmun City rests in the very centre of the Kingdom, and, in the very heart, is the Castle of Six Candles, where King Duaryth and his Queen and his sons live together under six tall roofs as red as red as red. The City is encompassed inside a pale stone wall, thick and twelve feet in height, with a shallow grass bank on the inside flanked by a deep stream. At three places the bank falls away to the Rushis River as it sweeps on its swift way across the land and out into the country. The ground rises steadily from the low-lying City, and fragrant hills and verdant dales speckled with antiquated farming villages give way to dignified peaks and ominous gorges. A halo of magnificent mountains crowns the Kingdom, confirming the perfect peace of the Golden Reign of Duaryth VI.
There has never been war in the Kingdom of Carmun, which is a peace-making nation made secure by the reassuringly reliable mountains. There is a neighbouring Kingdom, to the West, named Cowl, which has recently undergone a workers' revolution, and King Raph is known to be in hiding; meanwhile, there is dangerous 'radical' talk going on about democracies and prime ministers. Master Rispalt, a promising and talented orator and politician, is said to be a certainty for the post in later years, though the head of the 'secret' Labour Party of Cowl, Master Ghaphi, is rumoured to be twice as effective and yet mind-bendingly jealous of his junior.
But that is irrelevant. The Kingdom of Carmun is as blessed with peace as Cowl is immersed in chaos.
There is another nation, nearby, named Antandan, with whom Carmun is on excellent terms. Indeed, Queen Taspeth is the only niece of King Bargad of Antandan, and Prince Padryth would have been heir to both thrones even if the two kings had not intended his small puppy-fatted hand for the slender-skinned one of Princess Susali of Antandan.
Let us flip a few pages to the annual Festival of Nations one year, and then may we return to Taspeth of Antandan and Carmun. The Festival of Nations? Why, the Festival of Nations is the most colourful, most exciting, most awaited time of year. Each ambassador to the Kingdom of Carmun is granted a budget with which to contrive and organise a procession, funfair or entertainment for the amusement of the people of the City, although a large proportion of ambassadors like to borrow from the treasuries of their own capital cities in addition, for families and funmakers flock to the City of Carmun from all over the map for the festive cheer of the famous Festival of Nations in the Kingdom of Carmun.
So we hover over the Market Square on this pallid afternoon of October, rejoicing in the colour and noise lent to the fading weather from down below. From atop the spire of St Nich's Church we can well see the hundred stalls, run by merchants of all kinds from all over the map. There are jewellers and toymakers and watchsmiths and bakers, and potters and stoners and dressmakers and painters, engravers and perfumers and confectioners and skilled craftsmen of all shapes and kinds. Then there are the buyers – the simply-clothed peasants of Carmun, the black-cloaked pilgrims from Reshid, the flamboyantly-hued draperies worn by visitors from Hujin, the fur-gloved children of Samare, and the head-scarved women of Antandan, all eager and bouncing and desperate for souvenirs of the great event.
Today it is the turn of the Queendom of Luten to provide the entertainment, and Queen Sepith has sent her ambassador instructions to organise a long dance of the kind native to Luten, a popular speciality and one organised by this particular country each year without fail. In Luten, the rubies of the crown are said to run in the bloodline of the daughters in the royal family; hence Queen Sepith's pre-eminence. Yet sons are equally important, and constitute the 'loyal labour' of the country. In Luten, a daughter is a sign of royal favour, but a son is a sign of loyalty, and so, in this way, most women prefer their babies to be born in the male gender.

Designer Jun Okamoto presented a 42 look ready-to-wear collection during Tokyo Fashion Week.
The show included both womenswear and menswear looks. The contemporary collection featured neutrals paired with unexpectedly brightly colored apparel; one standout piece was a grey shirtdress with a bright orange pleated skirt beneath. The line was made up of looks in cotton and jersey. Flower petals were scattered along the runway, representing the soft, sweetness of the collection. Top looks included: trench coats, plaid button downs, and oversized tops. Fabulous floral-inspired umbrella graced the runway. Runway palette, from the Spring/ Summer 2013 show, included shades: Olympian blue, titanium grey and muted citrus yellow. It is reported a ballerina danced for the show attendees before the models walked the runway in Mr. Okamoto looks.

We for just one would love to find the next Emerson, an author more focused on composing great publications than whether or not they are ever read. I understand Emerson. He's make a great client. He could invest years working on a manuscript, then throw in the towel the rights for close to absolutely nothing. Great writing for a song.

In a meeting with Newsweek, " http://electionnews.site/ " co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck noted the way the liberal bias in news has individuals thinking she must be witchy. Newsweek denied any bias and stated that Hasselbeck travelled back once again to the studio on her broom.
Then glance at exactly how many individuals vote in primaries. In King County, around a million ballots were sent in 2010. Up to now, 9.7per cent of those have been cast, although a great deal more will likely to be cast nearer to the August 18 due date.
How much chatter has here been about conglomerates having news outlets? I've heard Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp, that owns Fox News and print media outlets, is just such among those conglomerates that could be in need of federal government intervention - ya know, for the good of Republic and all sorts of.

I am
I'm the smell of a piping hot cup of coffee early in the morning,
I'm a room full of purple things,
I'm a pair of hands with nails bitten to non-existence.
I'm the argument just to kill time and get excited.
I'm the text msg sent during a class,
and the one ignored while sleeping away to glory.
I'm 12 hours of sleep,dinner and then sleep again !
I'm a cell phone full of songs that i love,
an i-pod full of songs others love
and a laptop full of movies that no-one really loves :p
I'm a bunny-toothed grin,
I'm one of those things which r so gud they might as well be a sin :D
I'm lip-balms lying around after every 5 feet,
I'm the marimba beat !
I'm the nuttiest of chocolates you've ever had,
addictive and crazy,
I'm like a pug,hyper but lazy :p

I had occasion to look back for on this already in the course of 24 hours or so and I didn't find this in your links, so I'm including it in the comments just incase anyone is interested https://discourse.wicg.io/t/html5-h-custom-element/438/39
In response to Brian Kardell.
Thanks. I totally spaced on that after you showed it to me. Appreciate you linking it.
In the interest of generating a solid outline for screen readers, I was wondering if it was okay practice to blend explicit els with role="heading" + aria-level="x", and then hide it for non-screenreaders; e.g.
Main Site Navigation
The idea being to have presentational structures that don't translate to screen readers without excluding their users from understanding. (also hopefully google doesn't ding us)
In response to Gregory.
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Not all screen reader users are blind.
Yet longer answer: If you can already put the appropriate heading level into an
aria-levelattribute, then you can use the correct
<h#>, so this seems like a lot of extra effort for a potentially confusing (and SEO-risky) approach.

Chapter Eleven: Emé
I was concentrating on something I knew was about to happen, just not how: The School Dance.
I focused on the front doors, the sound of the music thumping around wildly and then people started appearing and the movie began to play. I saw Skylar and a sophomore dancing together, her movements were quiet and smooth, while he looked like a dancing squirrel. Next, I searched the dance floor for Sara and found her talking to Amber, her best friend, while Michael stood at her side tentatively. She was so obnoxious and I knew that it wouldn't last. Just then, Michael caught sight of me and slipped away. He looked pained.
Would you like to dance?
I replied with a nod.
"Olivia, can you focus here." Skylar snapped.
I came back from my vision to meet an overwhelmed Skylar; I smiled and looked at the clothes that hung in her dressing room.
"What was I wearing?" She asked impatiently.
The dance was six days away and we were shopping for the perfect outfits, and due to the Halloween nature, I had told Skylar to go as a vampire. She nearly clawed my eyes out for that comment.
A pleasant memory took over as I stared at Skylar modeling some hideous fur coat, and I sunk away from her disgusted look.
'Skylar, Alex told me.'
'That no good for nothing Hunter.'
'Hey. I'm one too.'
'I know.'
'You do?'
'When a Hunter moves onto my turf, I know.'
'He's teaching me about my visions.'
'Any good?'
'So far I can only pick events that would happen two minutes from now.'
I laughed at the memory, now I could however pick out events a week in advance at the most. I was still learning and Alex was only teaching as much as he could.
"Black skirt, that green and black corset top and the tennis shoes."
"What am I dressing up as?" She held up the items I'd mentioned.
"Zombie cheerleader." I smirked.
"Great idea." Skylar winked.
Since we were being honest, Skylar had spoken more freely with me and we were even meeting after school hours. I felt that I had my new friend, since Michael was too busy keeping tabs on Sara and all her personal demands.
"Thank-you." I nodded and helped her put away the seventeen other pieces.
"What are you going as?" Skylar asked as the lady at the cash-out at Hangers rang us through.
"I can't see me, remember?" I whispered to her, my tone a slight growl.
"I meant, what are your ideas?" Skylar glared.
"Oh. A nymph. Cat -"
"Warrior Princess." Skylar stated, her answer seeming final.
"Go as a warrior princess. I have parts of a costume, you just need boots and a brown skirt." She winked.
"Oh god." I rolled my eyes and glared.
"C'mon, I think it'll look good." Skylar pleaded.
"Oh alright." I gave in with a shrug and followed her down the mall towards Reitman's and the shoe store.
I bought my knee high, brown, leather boots and an almost too short, mini-skirt. It rode mid-thigh and I already felt self-conscious about my chubby knees. Skylar helped me carry my box of boots and we walked back down to her car.
The little black BMW waited for us taking up two parking spots. Those that walked by leered at the ostentatious vehicle. I suppressed a laugh at the looks we received as we slipped into the leather interior.
"Olivia." Skylar started. Pausing before she started the car.
"Yes Skylar?" I shoved my wallet in my back pocket and pulled my seat belt across my chest and lap.
"What else did you see in your vision?" Skylar started the car, a smile spreading.
"Just you dancing with some sophomore and others all dancing around."
"Oh, that's it? Nothing about Michael and Alex?" Skylar cringed.
"Why? What do you know?" My eyes were on her instantly, she had an ability all her own, she had internal instincts which allowed her to easily read the emotions of the people around her.
"Well, Michael seems to have some anger towards Alex."
"Why?" I blinked. Am I really that blind?
"I don't know, I can't tell you why, I just know how they feel."
"Wonderful." I growled.
The car buzzed through the lights and down the highway. It seemed to be quite the long ride due to the silence that echoed through the car, louder than any engine noise that filtered into the cab.
As we pulled into Morden I noticed that she was turning onto First Street instead of taking me home. I promised myself that I wouldn't aggravate her with vampire questions, but at the moment I was beyond curious.
"Where are we going?"
"My house." She said flatly.
I shuddered. "Oh."
"Sorry, I just want to tell Emé where I'm going." Skylar winked.
"That's alright, I completely understand." No I don't. Half the time Marley is the one who has to explain where she's going. Skylar! I don't want to be in a house full of – Emé?
"Who's Emé? I thought you lived alone?"
The look on my face must have been humorous due to the fact that Skylar looked at me once and started laughing. Her shiny white teeth sparkled as the light bounced off of them.
"You look like a six-year-old who just caught her parents in bed." Skylar snorted.
"Shut up." I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest. "I was just-"
"Curious. Yes I know." She winked again. "I live with A.J. and Emé just outside of the town limits. Emé is my Aunt, or at least that's what we tell people, really she's just another vampire who needed companions. And A.J. and I are like children to her, so she has some unconditional love for us, we just live in her house."
"That's kind of sweet. How did you meet her?" Stupid. That's one of those questions you promised not to ask.
Skylar's face was neutral. "I was moving away from Nebraska when I graduated from high school there as Taylor Mills. I was planning on going to Vancouver to start Junior High all over, but I was warned that Hunters were there, so I settled for L.A. I got a job and some papers that revealed my age of a twenty-two year old female named Samara O'Hansen. I worked at a fashion retail store, that's when I met Emé. She was extremely tall, 5' 11" right now, with roan hair and green eyes. I automatically knew what she was, a vampire.
"She had worked hard to conceal it, so I tried not to burst her bubble. I offered her some of the newest arrivals and the more expensive items. She was overwhelmed with the joy that our tastes matched and then she asked me out for coffee-"
"How old are you?" Big mouth.
"Eighteen. But I was changed in 1935, my boyfriend was a vampire and he sired me."
"Sure." Skylar rolled her eyes and pulled onto a gravel road where the pavement fell away.
I guess it's not as sweet as I thought it was.
We took the next five minutes in silence as we bounced around on gravel and pulled into a drive that was cemented and dark. The house was large, and at least two stories evident in a gray wash siding. Large paned windows sat in the front of the house covered with pale drapes and golden, tasseled ropes.
Skylar pulled her car into the three-car garage and killed the engine. The hair on my arms stood on end as my nerves tingled beneath my skin, sending electric jolts through my limbs.
The garage was extremely dark, especially with the door closed behind us, and the car lights now turned off. She pulled the keys from the ignition and dropped them in her pocket before she opened her door and walked around to the open trunk.
Nervously, I stepped out from the car and followed as Skylar lithely entered her home. ON the inside it was as normal as any other home I'd even been in. The living room was the closest to the entryway and was luxuriously lain out.
A large beige sectional took up most of the large living room, encircling a big screen TV and several photos and other items I guessed were from the 18th Century.
"Ollie, my room's upstairs. You coming?" Her eyes were nervous.
"Sure…" I shivered slightly and followed her up the grand, spiral staircase located in the back of the entrance. It was carpeted with a soft blushing rose carpet and dark cherry wood banister. Everything was very lavish and old Victorian as we made our way along the second floor hallway.
The walls were a dark rust color, occasionally there were pictures and paintings hanging along the small corridor, but it was a very warm atmosphere. Skylar's room was at the end of the hall and the only reason I knew that was: the bright pink wooden blocks that were nailed to her door.
"Did you put those there?" I sputtered.
"No." Skylar rolled her eyes. "Emé did that. She was thrilled when I decided to use my real name for once."
"Hm. She's nothing like my Mom." I scoffed.
"No kidding. I'm sure you Mom is quite the opposite." Skylar grimaced.
Goosebumps lifted the hair on my arms and neck so I shivered once more. It was more out of anticipation to see Skylar's Gothic Era type bedroom rather than her doomsday tone.
I wonder if she has a coffin for a bed, or maybe even a large painting of her covering an entire wall?
I silently mocked every vampire movie I'd even watched and even though I was Buffy in this scenario, I felt no pressure to whip out holy water and splash it on the five foot four vampire who was reluctantly showing me the door of her bedroom.
"Don't laugh, okay?" Skylar pleaded.
"Okay. No laughing." I crossed my heart with my fingers.
With my promise, she opened the true, oak door, the entrance to her entire world.
And this is where we cut to commercial. I smirked, and I was really hoping that Skylar didn't notice.
The door opened completely and Skylar flicked on her light. The light fixture was a motorized fan with one bulbous lamp attached to it. The walls were a light lavender shade, all five walls; it was a pentagon of all rooms. Her bed was closest to the door, a large brass headboard was attached to an every day bed, but the canopy was a white lace that hung on the ceiling. Her bed spread was white with little purple stripes with pink and deep gray accents.
The only other thing that was lavish about her room was the Empire Fireplace that two armchairs were positioned in front of. Other than that, she had the original items: a desk with a black Dell computer, an armoire and a nightstand next to her Queen sized bed.
"What do you think?"
"It's so soft." I beamed.
"Huh?" Skylar's eyebrow tweaked.
"Your room, it's so soft and delicate. I was expecting something a little more vibrant and abusive."
"Why? Is that how you see me?"
I groaned to add effect. "No, you're more bubbly and a good listener. A little pushy at times but… it's just not what I expected."
"Well, good." Skylar nodded and then went about placing her new items where they needed to be. She didn't have a closet, so it was obvious why she had such a large armoire.
I explored the feminine styled room, trying out the bed and all the chairs, admiring art works that scattered the wall. There wasn't really much to her room, but I was so overwhelmed with awe and curiosity that everything seemed so intricate and alien.
A light tapping on her bedroom door gave me a little self-control back so I could stop eyeing every brick on the fireplace with an eye for artistic detail.
"Skylar." A sweet, Motherly voiced flooded over onto the other side of the door.
"I'll be right there Emé." Skylar spoke normally, no need to yell across the room when they had super hearing.
Man, Marley's hearing is good but not that good. You'd never get away with anything in this house. That's not cool.
Skylar walked seamlessly across the room and unlocked her door to allow Emé to enter. I was staring at a brick when I felt her standing about four feet away, staring at my back. I turned, remembering to keep a neutral look on my face, but just one glance at her and all was lost.
She stood about four inches taller than my five foot seven. Her face was cat-like and all her features were extremely feminine, but nothing delicate about them. The prominent cheekbones and thin, blood red lips complemented the length of her face – no pun intended – with a sturdy nose and large black eyes. She had perfectly sculpted eyebrows, the same deep brown as her hair that she tied back into a braid that hung all the way down her back.
Oh wow. She's stunning.
"Ollie!" Skylar snapped.
"So, you're Olivia?" Emé grinned. Her tone was rough, almost disgusted.
"Yes. And you must be Emé?"
"Well at least you're well informed."
"Emé doesn't like Hunters, for well, obvious reasons." Skylar pointed to her own eyes.
I had no idea what she meant until Emé got close enough to me that I could smell her sweet vanilla scent. Her eyes were a deep mauve, far from black with large pupils.
"Yes. Obvious reasons." Emé grinned.
No fangs?
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that."
"Yes, I'm so sure." Emé almost laughed. "I can't believe you're Gabriel's daughter. Besides your looks you hold nothing of his air."
"Emé, lay off." Skylar growled.
"No, I want to know what you mean by that." I narrowed my eyes, careful not to seem obviously enraged.
"Hm. Well you should really take it as a compliment. Gabriel is a lost soul, foolish and selfish in every aspect of life. He's so powerful and loves to remind my society of that power."
My brows furrowed. "Any disrespects paid to my Father can't be taken as a compliment." My voice squeaked.
"She's cute." Emé beamed. "Don't let A.J. know I said that."
"Thank-you and I won't." Skylar winked.
Emé looked at me curiously for a moment before she floated back out of the room.
"She likes you." Skylar laughed.
"Is that a good thing?" I blinked.
"It means you can rest easy."
"Okay." I bit my bottom lip. "Where does she hunt?"
"Anywhere that death is inevitable. She's a nurse at Boundary Trails. She works in the I.C.U. and those rooms where patients are held as comfortably as possible until they say their good-byes. She's using the name 'Karen Simmons' right now." Skylar's speech came easily and almost breathlessly.
"And that part about A.J.?"
"A.J. can't stand you. No offence."
"Because I'm a Hunter?"
"Not really. Mostly because of that and because I sort of befriended you to escape her group of bimboes."
I couldn't help but laugh that time. "Okay. I guess I understand that fairly well."
"Ya. Don't worry though, she won't dare bite you. She absolutely hates the taste of human blood."
"Oh? Why's that?"
"Well, I changed her. It was probably a bad idea, but she was at the hospital when I was visit-"
"Whoa – wait – she's a new vampire?" I gawked.
"Yes? Didn't I tell you that?"
"Oh. Well when we first moved here, I believe two months after the fact, a run-away from Winnipeg was found half-dead and brought to Boundary Trails for treatment. Emé had told me all about it but paid no interest in the petty subject."
"But, one day I went to visit her at work to talk and just relive myself of boredom when I met her. She was in the ICU, her Mom died and her Father had long since lived in Manitoba. Emé asked me if I was interested in having a sister. I jumped at the chance, the only catch was – I had to do it myself."
"That doesn-"
"I'm getting to that." Skylar hushed me. "So anyway, she was awake when I went in there to ask her name and so forth. She said her name was Ariel Jane Patterson from 4132 Apartment off of Princess Avenue. She was eloquent and well learned, so I immediately found my interest increase.
"She was two days from turning twenty-one and she'd been a Victorian Poetry major in University. Originally she wanted to be a surgeon but witnessed a friend get shot and she ended up being covered in her friend's blood. The smell was revolting and made her throw up.
"Now all she wanted to do was die at the ultimate age of youth. I offered her eternal life and one that she'd forever find lust towards.
"At first she thought I was joking, or crazy, but then I gave her my real name and my real age. A week after her 21st she finally agreed to be changed, and because of "the accident" she hated blood. Even the smell makes her feel gross; it is really funny to watch. I myself like cows, but don't tell anyone."
"Cows?" My expression changed to quizzical.
"Mm, what's the problem?"
"It's just… cows? Big, ugly, dirty, smelly bovines?"
"Weird." I shrugged and went back to exploring her room.
"Well how about we go get some supper?" Skylar winked and grabbed my hand. Her hand was icy cold, and had the texture of a smooth stone. A shiver tingled up my arm and I flinched at her touch, but she didn't release me; instead, she towed me down the stairs in the same direction we'd come earlier.
She finally released me and moved around the front of the to slide into the diver's seat. My hand felt icy cool and I stared at it for a short moment, half expecting its texture to match Skylar's, but it was still the same clammy texture and ivory color that it had always been.
Being friends with a vampire is going to be quite the roller coaster if I do say so myself. I smirked and stared down at my knees as we drove back into Morden and towards my house.
The driveway was completely empty and for once I was happy that Marley had once again vanished off the face of the planet. Skylar parked her car and followed me up the front walk and into my house.
"Wow, nice house." Skylar's lips spread into an: 'O'.
"Oh, right. I guess this is your first time you've been here." I grinned.
"Well it's no mansion." I laughed.
"Please. This is so homey, I love it." Skylar clapped.
"I suppose."
"Okay, go unpack that stuff, oh, I forgot that costume stuff. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Skylar winked.
"Please not at school." I begged, clasping my hands together.
"Oh let it go. I'll package it properly and no one will suspect a thing."
"Fine. Don't let Michael or Alex see it." I smirked.
"I won't."
We went to my room and began unpacking everything I'd bought that day. Skylar sat silently in my leather chair – the same seat Alex had sat in when he'd explained my entire past. I still hadn't told my Mom I knew, but I was content in keeping it that way.
"So… you and Alex are still going together to the dance?" Skylar's face was flat, emotionless.
I only glanced at her for a second and then went back to fixing my new boots into my closet. "Yes, we are going together. Why do you ask?"
"Curiosity. Have you been hanging out with him at all?"
"Quite often actually. He's been teaching me how to use my visions and it really seems to be working."
"Alexander really must know his stuff." Skylar came to stand beside me now as I finished. "Shall we." She held out her arm to me in an escort type motion.
I feared to touch her again, to feel how cold she really was and the smoothness of her skin. Instead, I pretended not to notice her and spun around to grab another sweatshirt.
"Okay, I want Dairy Queen." I smiled.
"Oo. That sounds good." Skylar rolled her eyes.
"I have seen you eat before, don't lie."
"True. Maybe I'll just get some ice cream." She shrugged.
"Good plan."

Banality of Evil: The Flip-SideBy Tom White | March 22, 2007 | 0 comments
Discussion is warming up about the banality of evil at Open Source, a web community that produces a daily hour of radio, hosted by Christopher Lydon.
In the upcoming show airing 3/27 online and on public radio, Dr. Philip Zimbardo will speak about the flip-side of the banality of evil, what he calls the banality of heroism, featured in the current issue of Greater Good.

I need the help of well informed BMW owners before I go mad!! Ive had this wonderful car for a year and recently the central locking has gone mad. The fault is intermittent. That is whats annoying. Sometimes the remote fob will open/lock the whole car, sometimes theres nothing. When this happens using the remote key in the drivers door sometimes opens everything and sometimes only opens the drivers door. This is where its worrying....when only the drivers door is open i cannot open any doors for my passengers, annoying when youre out with the wife and kids!! Thakfully i can use the key in the boot lock toopen the petrol cap from inside. Ive tried the suggested turn the key to pos 2 and then press the relevent buttons to reset
. Sometimes it works other times nothing.
I'd love to know what it is as when it went to my local garage he diagnostic tested said it was ok and then had the lock on a 'good day' when it behaved and worked.

Clinical Dharma
Half Day with Dr. Stephen Dansiger and Mary Stancavage
May 21, 2016
Santa Monica
Clinical Dharma is a series of 12 classes designed by Dr. Stephen Dansiger to help helpers to infuse their self care, and their care of others, with the 4 Noble Truths and the 8 Fold Path of the Buddha. Also featured as part of Clinical Dharma is the opportunity to go on short retreats with Dr. Steve and guest teachers, where the focus will be on how our work practice is fed by our practice of Buddhist mindfulness. For the month of May, our guest teacher for this Half Day Retreat is Mary Stancavage.
Often in the recovery community and in other healing communities one is instructed to "put the oxygen mask on yourself before helping others in the cabin." Clinical Dharma workshops and retreats are designed to assist those in the helping professions to take care of others while also taking care of themselves. Through retreat practice pointed at the issues and concerns of professional helpers, as well as workshops and classes that help helpers understand the usefulness and power of Buddha's 4 Noble Truths and the 8 Fold Path, participants grow in understanding about the importance of self-care; get real life skills related to that self care; grow in understanding of the teachings of the Buddha and how they relate to providing care for others; and become able to translate their retreat experiences and workshop lessons into an improved ability to facilitate healing, and develop a practice and way of life that feeds and informs their own personal path.
These retreats and workshops are geared to professional healers of all kinds, while they will also apply to those who are helping and healing others without it being their vocation.
Cost: Sliding Scale: $25-$60 and the offering of dana to the teacher. Please click here for information on the tradition of dana. Scholarships and work-study are available. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
$100 Plus Monthly Supporters attend for no cost. To RSVP as a monthly supporter, click here.
Please Click Here for more info on our Monthly Supporter program.
Stephen Dansiger, PsyD, MFT has been a practicing Buddhist since 1989. Steve practiced in the Zen tradition for most of that time, including numerous retreats and a one-year residency at a Zen Buddhist monastery. He has taught mindfulness for over 20 years in a variety of settings, including meditation centers, schools, businesses, government agencies and treatment centers. He now teaches classes regularly at Against the Stream Meditation Society in Los Angeles, and also leads short retreats and workshops locally and nationally. In addition, Steve has served as Clinical Director of Refuge Recovery Centers, the premiere Buddhist addictions treatment center that he helped to establish along with Noah Levine. More about Steve can be found at drdansiger.com.
Mary Stancavage has practiced meditation, yoga, and cultivated a spiritual practice for almost 30 years. She began studying with Noah Levine in 2005, and in 2009 completed his first teacher training program. She currently serves as Director of Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society. In January 2016 she became Executive Director of the Mind Body Awareness Project. She has taught meditation at recovery centers in Los Angeles, has co-facilitated Year-to-Live groups since 2008, and has a weekly class at ATS. She completed the Buddhist Chaplaincy Program at the Sati Center and served as volunteer chaplain at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. Mary sits on the board of the Buddhist Insight Network. In addition, Mary has a Masters from UCLA, and worked as an archaeologist in the Middle East.
This daylong will be held at 1001a Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica, CA. Click on the address for info on parking around the Santa Monica Center.

a moments emotion.
Everything is dark, silent, cold! No concept of time exists because it is like I am, suspended in darkness. I cannot feel anything under me or over me. I do not know if I am standing or sitting or lying down or balancing on my head.
My body is so relaxed that my surrounds are unknown or maybe I am surrounded by nothing.
I become aware of a feeling, a feeling that I cannot explain, a weird feeling, a feeling of dread.
And then I am on my bed, lying down, awake!

Seeds can become issue of intellectual property theft
Seeds aren't very large, but when they cost millions to produce, stealing them is serious business.
Weiqiang Zhang of Manhattan and Wengui Yan of Stuttgart, Ark., were charged last week with conspiracy to steal trade secrets after allegedly providing stolen rice seed samples to a Chinese delegation visiting the U.S. this year.
The seeds were property of Ventria Bioscience, a company based in Fort Collins, Colo., that develops genetically modified rice to grow proteins for medical and pharmaceutical uses.
Dirk Maier, head of the K-State grain science and industry department, said Zhang and Yan are being accused of a crime in the same category as breaking into General Motors, Google or Apple and stealing an product being developed.
"It's the same as corporate espionage," he said. "People may not look at it that way, but indeed it is."
Zhang, 47, worked as an agricultural seed breeder at a Ventria facility in Junction City, starting in 2008.
According to the criminal complaint, Ventria's research investment to generate seeds has been between $3 million and $18 million, and its technology investment approximately $75 million.
Maier said these seeds are being developed for future sales.
"When you develop seed, whether you are a public university like we are or a private company, you are developing a product that's intellectual property," he said.
Daryl Stouts, president of the Kansas Wheat Alliance, said biotech companies tend to spend more on seed development.
"The investment is probably 10 times as much as a traditional (breeder), and it probably takes even longer," he said. "Most of the time, there's not enough value to justify the cost, which is why companies fail."
Stouts said it costs between $1.2 million and $1.4 million to develop a new wheat variety through traditional breeding, and typically involves 10 years of development.
"You have $10 to $15 million wrapped up in something before you get it out," he said.
Stouts said he hasn't worked with Ventria, but the biotech companies he's dealt with typically don't have theft on their radar.
"Anything I've done with companies like that, they're more concerned about pollen escaping," he said. "Probably not real high on their list is people walking out with seeds in their pocket."
"It probably happens more than people typically realize," Maier said of theft.
Maier said the first several years of initial work takes place in labs and greenhouses, which limits the amount of people involved.
Maier said test plots occur in areas such as the agronomy department's farm on Kimball Avenue, but it would take inside information to know what type of seeds are being used.
"Most of the time when you're driving through a countryside, you don't know what's growing," he said. "It's pretty anonymous."
Maier acknowledged that K-State has vulnerabilities to protect itself from this type of "illegal and unethical" action.
"In general, the fields are not surrounded by high security fences and there aren't security guards wandering around campus protecting this stuff," he said.
Stouts said it isn't very difficult to take seeds.
"How easy is it to get seeds? Find them and put them in a cup full of dirt," he said.
Security concerns are a reason for limiting the number of people with access and knowledge, particularly with private biotech companies.
According to the criminal complaint, Scott Deeter, Ventria president and CEO, told FBI agents that approximately six employees had magnetic card reader access to the temperature controlled environment where the master and development seeds were stored.
Deeter said they would have known the differences as well as the locations of particular seeds.
He said Zhang had this level of access but didn't regularly work at the facility.
Stouts said federal government regulation of biotech companies includes testing permits that dictate where testing will take place.
He said the work of companies like Ventria require a higher level of security.
"The possibility of espionage and stealing is high," he said. "Probably not so much in this country because everybody knows what everybody has."
Stouts said the patents that companies have for their work usually make it easier for stolen material to be discovered.
In the Zhang case, an expert rice geneticist at the U.S. agriculture department examining pictures of the seed envelopes found with the delegation packets recognized words and initials on the labels as products of Ventria.
Ventria is the sole source of two particular types of seeds that were found.
Tests by a biological diagnostics laboratory in Wisconsin confirmed the source of the seeds.
Stouts said the Zhang case could be a sign of more theft attempts in the future.
"It's pretty unusual, but it's probably something we're going to see more rather than less," he said. "As people start to value genetics in seeds and plants, it's certainly going to be more tempting."

We have been missing Deepika on our section. It's been crazy long since we have covered her here. Firstly, because she has not been making any news. Secondly, she is not even travelling these days.
So we decided to revisit Deepika's fashion and guess what we found out? 7 ways to style the simple everyday denim. Yes. We have ignored Deepika potential as a stylist for far too long but not anymore.
Deepika always outdoes herself when it comes to picking an outfit. Be it movie promotions, or an event, or a shoot, she is always well dressed. While many take fashion suggestions from their stylist, we think, Deepika should give styling tips to her stylist.
While Deepika does the red carpet look better, she does the everyday denim look the best. Here are 7 times when Deepika taught us how to love our denim even more...
The Basics
Who thought a basic pair of awhite tee and blue denim could look this good? Have a white tee and a distressed jeans? Pair it with white sneakers.
Bringing Back the Boot Cut Jeans
She paired dark blue boot cut jeans with afloral print top. She even added statement earrings to the look. Beat that now!
A Maxi Jacket With A Pair Of Denim?
Did you really think you can pair a maxi ethnic print jacket with a distressed denim? She made it look effortlessly good.
Shimmer & Denim! Hell Yes!
When she wore distressed blue jeans enhanced with silver sequin appliques.
Oxfords + Skinnies?!
She paired her dark blue skinnies with tan Oxfords. Now that's a match.
Kaftan Jackets + Jeans
She wore her distressed boyfriend jeans with a white top and a printed kaftan jacket. Now that's how you ace up the level of your casuals.
Distressed Shorts?
She wore distressed shorts with an oversized printed tee. Now bring back those 90s extra long shorts the Deepika way.
Which of the above outfit are you going to opt for this weekend? Do let us know.
