Is it time for Porsche to produce a Panamera coupe or new 928?
Porsche is adding as much volume to the lineup as they can. The days of debate over SUV's and sedans are over. Porsche now produces two SUV models with the Cayenne and the brand new Macan. A smaller sedan to slot in below the Panamera is also reportedly on the way. That leaves one area where Porsche is lacking however and that is with no true GT (Grand Touring) car in the lineup. Is it time for one?
The Panamera is a success and taking the platform to a coupe design certainly would drop weight. It would also make for a much sportier car. Porsche is not new to GT style cars or front engine V8 coupes. The Porsche 928 is perhaps the most noteworthy example produced from the late 1970's to the mid 1990's with a variety of V8 motors.
Porsche is maxing out their plant capacity as is with the demand for the Macan and Cayenne. A new smaller sedan will only add to the strain. A Panamera Coupe to take on the BMW 6-Series seems logical but it will only happen once the Panamera gets its redesign. The next generation Panamera platform is expected to be shared among several VW brands and serve as modular architecture. When the new car comes this architecture will easily scale to a coupe.
A new 928 sounds like a slam dunk to PorscheBoost. It also sounds inevitable.

For What
A soldier joins the army and loses everything. A poem by me and my friend, and we emphasised on the opposites of seasons and times of day. A bunch full of codes and metaphors - not one sit and relax by!
For want of not, what they possess
Town feeble, small they stole away
Someone damage fell to sleep
Light of night and dark of day
Lonely fades as sun, stars, set
For bitter sea, of sweet salvation
High sun rises, no light can flood
Cries the Lonely hearts as one
As slowly hope trails into mud
Spending price till doom, dusk, day
For lack of loss, and loss of grief
Weeping only Lonely seems
Would that he could
Within his dreams
Waking his grief till dawn dusk day
Here, there he found eternal sleep
Lonely hands are cold
Dug, down, deep
For need of brave, gave life and love
I die my vengeance till circle, silence, storms
Sun, stars, set
Doom, dusk, day
Price unpaid.

There are many reasons why you should have a central air conditioning system installed. If you have a large home or property building, one of the most efficient ways to cool it down is with central air conditioning. The best type of AC system for this type of situation uses a split system for compression and condensation. The evaporator is connected to the air handling mechanism also know as a forced air furnace. This machine is assembled as one large unit and placed outside the establishment, generally on the roof or an outhouse.
The cool air that is generated by the unit is transferred throughout the entire building. The unit can be controlled individually by the provided controls found within the building. Many times these units are not equipped with individual control settings, meaning that all the occupants of the building are forced to deal with the general temperature of the building.
Considering that the AC unit is placed upon the roof or out of direct contact with the building, the people within the building will not be disturbed by the typical AC humming noise. These units are also equipped with a cleansing system that is designed to clean and purify the air as it circulates the building. This is especially help to individuals prone to dust allergies and breathing issues.
By placing the AC unit in a central location it allows administrators and maintenance personnel to keep electric consumption and voltage requirements at strict levels due to the fact that individuals do not have to operate their own units.
Having a central AC unit allows you to find an adequate temperature for the building which gives you more control of electrical consumption and in turn the ability to lower energy costs.
One aspect to pay careful attention to when choosing a system is the filtering capacity. The better an AC unit allows you to breathe, the cooler it is going to keep the building. Otherwise, you will end up with a unit that is transmitting dust and pollutants throughout the building.
The only thing that makes a central AC unit all the better is to install the means that allow each tenant the ability to control their individual temperatures. Most architects can be consulted with to get a better idea of how this can be achieved. You will soon see that having a central air conditioning system installed by Bay Breeze Air Conditioning is one of the best decisions you can make for your property.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
To whom it may concern
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 29, 2013POSTED: Saturday, June 29, 2013
The following is a rebuttal to this gentleman and his claim that Prophecy Financial Group was involved in some type of deceptive or illegal activity.
Prophecy Financial Group (PFG) is an independently operating business, being involved in real estate project development on a consulting basis which includes, among other responsibilities, assisting project ownership with the formation of business plans and bankable documentation packages, underwriting services and the provision of potential pre-screened sources of funding for their applicable project financing requirements.
Twenty four months ago, PFG was introduced to Cornerstone Capital by an independent third party as a possible project funding source. PFG performed initial due diligence and, at that time, it was determined that Cornerstone was an acceptable source and was added to the PFG stable of financial services firms available to their client base. PFG was never a subsidiary or affiliate of Cornerstone Capital and operated only as a referring consultant.
Any clients that expressed an interest in dealing with Cornerstone were specifically informed that although preliminary due diligence was performed by PFG and there was no evidence of any type of underhanded business practices in the past, that they should have their corporate attorneys perform an independent inquiry as they would ultimately be responsible for their own decisions.
Unfortunately, over the past eighteen months Cornerstone Capital has apparently encountered many financial, structural and performance issues causing the company to underachieve and as a result, a number of projects have not been financed as contracted by Cornerstone. Deposited contracts stipulated a refund clause based on performance but, to date, Cornerstone has neither returned the clients deposit funds nor provided them with project financing. What created this series of events over time has yet to be determined, but it is PFGs' hope that these matters will be resolved by Cornerstone in the very near future.
Inappropriately, PFG was inadvertently blamed for the non-performance of Cornerstone although PFG was exclusively and contractually representing their clients' interests during the process and is currently assisting those clients in an effort to recover their deposit funds or receive funding for their projects.
To add clarity and for the record, PFG was never involved in the handling of client deposits or contracts with Cornerstone. Additionally, PFG did not charge for or receive any fees or payments for services rendered to the clients during the extensive documentation package preparation and underwriting process as PFG does not accept remuneration of any kind until a successful transaction is concluded.
PFG has obviously distanced themselves from Cornerstone due to these extenuating circumstances, including the lack of performance indicated above, and have since altered their core business by forming very strong business and personal relationships with a select few solid, reliable and successful banking and financial services firms to provide their clients with conventional and alternative project financing rather than maintaining a stable of many firms with lesser relationships. With that said, PFG continues to successfully provide project ownership with the appropriate capital stack necessary to facilitate the financing requirements of major US real estate development and construction projects on an ongoing basis.

Speaking of classing up your bike, I've been riding around the last few weeks with some Dapper Dans ergo grips from Portland Design Works. Wow, these things are plush!
I mounted the grips on my Surly Steamroller turned English 3 Speed (the bike has been through many transformations). Prior to the Dapper Dans, I was rocking some shellacked cork grips, my old standby.
I have to say, prior to the Dapper Dans, I wasn't a particularly big fan of ergo grips because they always end up looking so techy/goofy. Like, whoa, your handlebar has a swollen lymph node or aero handlebar grips. You get the picture. However, these Dapper Dans really make the whole ergo thing a lot more palatable.
Functionally, they have two constricting bands that you tighten with some pretty standard allen wrenches. The bands work well to keep the grips from moving around. It's a pretty basic feature, but is nice nonetheless. When compared to shellacked cork grips, which take all sorts of voodoo to make them stay still, the constricting bands are a blessing. Similarly, they're a lot more elegant and easy to put on then say your typical OURY rubber grips.
They fit my hand really well. The fat fleshy part of my palm rests perfectly on the flat fleshy part of the grip. The leather has a real nice tactile texture that is pretty non-slip. The contrast stitching is a nice decorative touch.
There isn't a whole lot to find fault in with these grips, other than that they are a bit longer than your average ergo grips. On my Surly with the swept back Tourist bars, they ran a little long and I ran out of handlebar bar for the grips (about an inch). Still, even with one constricting band, the grips are pretty solid.
So if you are planning to use this with bar-end shifters, be sure to measure your bar to make sure you can slip them high enough on the bar before hitting a bend. Otherwise, another work around would be to get some Paul shifter pods for your bars.
-Super nice looking. I feel like I have to wear a tie when I'm rocking these grips.
-Very tactile and pleasing to the touch (though obviously not vegan friendly).
-Constricting bands make for easy installation and removal.
-Ergonomic design truly ergonomic.
-A little on the long side and may not work with some handlebar/bar-end shifter setups...use a ruler to confirm.

I've got Ergon grips on my Xtracycle and love them. These look like a great alternative for my Schwinn Continental restoration project.
I like the lighter tan version they show on the website though I'm not sure there's a Brooks saddle that matches.
P.S. I'm thinking we need some full shots of that bike!

Nearly three years ago a blog appeared called The Carpetbaggers, which promised more than it delivered. Two journalists - one white, one black, using false names - had joined the Conservative Party to tell it like it is, from the inside. Our heroes ventured into the Richmond Conservative Association, met the candidate, an ageing activist named Robert, and an "elderly man in a blazer who has a military bearing and a limp", whom they called the Colonel. He was a perfect stereotype Tory, even to the point of spluttering about "political correctness gone mad".
But the blog ended as soon it had begun, with no second entry. Now it has been reborn as the opening of a book in which Chris Horrie and David Matthews set off on an anthropological quest to uncover the "Tory nation". They have had to stretch the definition of "Tory" to find enough material. Their search took them to a village cricket match in Sussex, a WI meeting in Basingstoke, the Royal Show in Warwickshire, a Country Landowners' Association Fair in Blenheim Palace, a conference of the UK Independence Party in Suffolk, and the Dagenham Town Show – all only tangentially relevant to their original mission of uncovering the heart of the Conservative Party.
They did also attend a few genuine party events, posing as disillusioned Labour voters, which allows them to write some sharp pen-portraits of George Osborne and a few minor figures, including the "chick-lit" author Louise Bagshawe, the Henley MP John Howell, and Shaun Bailey, the young black Tory candidate in Hammersmith.
Their unstartling conclusion is that the England of "warm beer, invincible green suburbs and old maids bicycling to Holy Communion", which the Conservative Party was formed to conserve, has gone, and the party "as a living, breathing part of our communities" is "close to extinction" despite the veneer of clever professionals at the top end. But, hey, what happened to the Colonel? The blog encounter with the Richmond Tories is described again with many of the same details, but no Colonel. The only plausible conclusion is that there never was a Colonel. Having invented him to spice up a pseudonymous blog, the authors fell back on the truth as they shed their pseudonyms and transferred to print.
That reveals their book's weakness. In the absence of literary invention, they have a pretty dull story to tell. Chris Horrie was co-writer of a fabulous book published in 1992 about life on The Sun. Then he was writing about funny, grotesque behaviour in an organisation that wielded alarming influence. This time, with very few exceptions, the book is about people who are elderly, powerless, and dull. Its cover promises "strange tales", but what it serves up is mostly just sad.

I'd like to form a company online (it will be in Northumbria, if that's of any consequence). Now, I'm keen on forming a company limited by shares, as the shareholder structure sounds like it will suit my long-term goals. Yet I'm not so sure about the role of company directors. You never really hear anything about them in the news, it's always CEOs and COOs. What exactly is a company director?

Pollock leads Irish Team for World Half Marathon
10 March 2016
Athletics Ireland has announced that Annadale's Paul Pollock will lead a 5 man Irish team which will compete in the World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff in 10 days time.
The 29 year old Holywood doctor considers Cardiff an integral part of his preparations to make the Rio Olympics Marathon this summer. After Cardiff Paul will race in the London Marathon next month where he must gain a time faster than 2 mins 15mins 14 secs which is the 3rd fastest Irish time currently held by Clonliffe's Sergiu Ciobanu. As only 3 athletes will travel to Rio Pollock must overtake that time which is 24 secs faster than his current best.
Paul is however confident he can achieve this and a good Cardiff performance will boost his confidence. The omens are good following recent excellent road race performances plus the fact that he finished an outstanding 30th in the World Half two years ago in a huge PB of 62.10.
Pollock will be supported in Cardiff by two other Northern Irish athletes Kevin Seaward of St Malachy's and American based Thomas Frazer. Ciobanu and Sean Hehir of Rathfarnham make up the five man Irish team.
Meanwhile Ulster's Mark English will compete over 800 metres in next week's World Indoors in Oregon. The UCD student is hoping to follow on from his success a year ago when the snatched silver in the European Indoors in Prague.

Franz went to Rainbow bridge this after noon. It was a difficult decission but after much talk with the doctor it wa decided that it was best for him. We were able to spend time with him in a quiet room at the Cat Hospital of Portland and say our goodbyes. We will love and mis him always. This is one weet boy that definately left his paw prints on all of our hearts.
I am heartbroken to have found out today that Brother is FIV+. The vet says this is why the wounds on his tail have not healed. He is staying overnite at the vet so they can more accurately assess his condition. My grandmother has taken the news very hard. She burst into tears as soon as the vet told us that he is infected. We have some very difficult days ahead. We will know more tomorrow and be able to make a better informed decission. As it stands now, we are looking at having him "put to sleep" so that he does not suffer. Yes, I know that many cats can live long lives with FIV, but his wounds are not healing, they are infected and he is showing signes of gum disease. The vet says this means that he is getting sick and it will be quite expensive to treat him. We will be having Fluffy tested next, and then our other babies. The only thing I can think of to say to comfort my grandmpther is that he has spent some good time in-0doors not having to worry about the things out-door cats have to worry about and that he will not suffer. this is little comfort. As all of you know, cats touch your heart, even if they are just passing thru. I think that Franz has tought us a lesson about love of family. He will always be remembered by us.
I want to thank all of you that have left treats for me over the last few days. Fluffy always gets so much attention that sometimes I feel left in her shadow. She is a very out going girl while I tend to be more stoic and reserved. It wasn't always that way though. Before the attack that killed my twin I was the out going charmer. Back then I was called Nipper because I would get soooo into being petted that I would give love bites. I will be going to an all cat vet on Monday to have my tail taken care of, thanks to some VERY nice peoople at a local rescue organization taking care of the bill. They are unable to take in me and/or Fluffy but it is wonderful that they will help us out with the medical bills. There is nothing seriously wrong with me you understand, I just have some wounds from that terrible attack that have not yet healed up. My foster people really want me to get better and return to my old self. I can tell that they love me alot, they are always giving me treats and talking to me in a soft voice. I especially like the grandma person. She is a non-smoker. I don't have anything against smokers, my other foster people smoke and are very nice people. I just think that my nose is a little more sensative having been feral. Purrrrrrrrrs and headbutts to all, Franz AKA Brother

One of the benefits of staying on LeConte is watching the night sky. We have seen some incredible meteor showers, the Space Station flying over head, the Shuttle separating from the Space Station, and some great star gazing. I can even claim to have seen the Northern Lights from the back porch of the dining room.

Stayed with you guys Friday night, 6/4. It was raining when we went to bed, but I got up at about 2:00 am to go to the restroom, and saw these lights, plus a gazillion stars! It was cloudy again by sunrise, so I'm glad I got this glimpse, even though it was a scary walk in the dark and quiet!

I have to tell you, if it takes that long to upload, it would take that long
to download. The better way would be to check your file size of Jpegs. They
may need to be reduced, 1) in screen size and 2) saving as a lower quality
jpg also save size.
One thing I have noticed with scanning. If you scan at a higher resolution
and then reduce resolution and screen size in a program such as Photoshop.
The end result seems to be better than just scanning at a low resolution.
My computer graphics tip for today,

MMKAY. I don't know what this exactly is, to be honest. Like I had the inspiration on Sunday night as I was driving a tractor around our field (yeah I do that) and I wished I'd done a Mothers Day ficlet, so I had this little plot bunny and decided I'd write it up when I came in from working. I did start it, yes, but then it started running away from (with?) me and by the time I put myself to bed I didn't know what direction it was taking. It kept flip-flopping from hurt/comfort to familyish to humour and back again. I still barely know what the fuck's going on, but I'm satisfied (as I'll ever be) with it now, so here it is! My first attempt at writing something Avengery outside of my House Arrest comfort zone.
I giggle at the fact that I thought I could write and post this in an hour on Sunday night... LOL roxy you DUM-E.
Opening lyrics are from an old country favourite, She's Somebody's Hero by Jamie O'Neal. I thought this passage was the ideal Pepper Potts Appreciation Anthem.
Be warned, cheesiness abounds. It also may still be a bit OOC, I tried my best. And this is NOT House Arrest. It IS movie-canon, as in Thor and Loki have returned to Asgard at this point.
She's never pulled anybody from a burning building
She's never rocked Central Park to a half a million fans, screaming out her name
She's never hit a shot to win the game
She's never left her footprints on the moon
She's never made a solo hot air balloon ride, around the world,
No, she's just your everyday average girl
She's somebody's hero
A hero to her baby with the skinned-up knee,
A little kiss is all he needs…
It's going to be an easy mission, Fury said.
They'll be home in time for supper, Fury said.
Nothing to worry about, Fury said.
And Pepper Potts had every intention of tearing the lying bastard a new one as she drove to the hospital at 101 mph.
It had been about 4 pm and she'd just gotten off the phone with Tony; he was checking in with her after finishing up Fury's little Avengers outing. They'd been last-minute dispatched off to the other side of Malibu, where Loki had dropped a herd of Bilchsteim through a wormhole. He'd been aiming for Tony's actual house according to Thor, but had missed his mark by 50 miles, give or take. Thor had reported the incident to Fury who immediately called in the cavalry, since they had experience with Loki shenanigans and whatnot. The hideous beasts were immediately rounded up and dispatched back through the wormhole, no harm done. So Tony called up Pepper with the joyous news that he'd be home in time for the new episode of Supernanny. (They'd developed a fondness for it, but that was beside the point).
Anyhow, she'd picked up her phone not 20 minutes later to hear a very distraught combination of Steve and Clint's hollering voices, and she was able to piece together the information that the portal had closed earlier than anticipated, and the last Bilchsteim had unfortunately tumbled back to earth… and landed on Tony.
The unfortunate part was, he'd just gotten through removing his suit for a recharge, and a plain old genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist doesn't have a great chance against a 700lb scaled antlered beast. A handful of broken ribs, a double-fractured right arm, a crushed ankle, a massive bleeding concussion, and a huge amount of cuts and bruises later, Tony was immediately Hulk-lifted to Malibu Hospital… and was not very enthusiastic about it.
Pepper left the house immediately and kicked rush hour's ass. Tony loathed hospitals with a burning passion; being on other people's schedules and being incapacitated were his least favourite things on earth. Being hospitalized involved both.
Not only would he need a friend, but the entire situation would need a Stark-grade peacekeeper. That was, always was, where Pepper came in.
The first thing she saw when she stepped into the hospital waiting room was Thor and Steve attempting to figure out a vending machine. Second was Nick Fury dropping a USA Today magazine and striding swiftly over to her.
"Alright, the National Security Council has locked down the hospital so he can't leave. They say he needs serious bed rest, and I'll be damned if I let Stark wander off and damage himself even more. I need my Avengers in one piece." were his greeting words.
"Always good seeing you too, Nick. Has he sued the hospital yet?" Pepper sighed, taking a seat in one of the tacky laminated chairs.
"He started threatening before they even set his arm, but I told him I could have his lawyer deported before he could blink. Then he yelled some things I won't repeat. Then he passed out." Fury summarized.
"You're gonna have one bitchy Iron Man on your hands when the morphine wears off." Natasha commented from behind the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
"That sounds like my general job description." Pepper shrugged, picking up a magazine. "When can I see him?"
"Depends on how long they take to patch him up… if he stays unconscious, it'll probably another 15 minutes. If he wakes up it'll take them a hella lot longer than that." Bruce contributed.
"He shouldn't be able to do much damage in the state he's in right now." Clint added fairly.
"You might be surprised what he can do when people touch him against his will." Pepper replied seriously. "He wouldn't be above bitch-slapping doctors with his good arm..."
As if on cue, a very worn-out looking medical professional appeared through a swinging door.
"Is there a Virginia Potts in here?" the scrub-clad man called over the waiting room chatter.
"That's me." Pepper replied, getting swiftly to her feet.
"Come with me. Mr. Stark is asking for you. Quite adamantly, I might mention." said the doctor with a trace of amusement and possible exasperation. He turned on his heel and beckoned Pepper to follow him, which she did without hesitation.
Two hallways later, there he was.
"You can only stay for a minute, he needs rest. I can't stress that enough."
"I'll see what I can do, Doctor."
She went to him.
He looked bedraggled and pitiful and utterly miserable and it broke her heart, but he still looked every inch the Tony Stark she knew and loved. Naturally he retained his trademark expression of arrogance and defiance, but she could read his eyes like an open book: come save me?
"You told me you'd be home for Supernanny. I had to get JARVIS to record it." She'd always excelled at maintaining her composure.
"Sorry. An asshole dropped a rhino on my face." he shot back. She didn't miss the hoarse undertone in his voice.
"It was just a little Bilchsteim. Don't exaggerate."
"Um, yeah. I'm gonna stick with rhino."
She crossed the room in three strides and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"How are you feeling, Tony?"
"To reiterate, like an asshole dropped a rhino on my face."
"Look on the bright side. Who else can say that's happened to them?"
"Peps, you're talking to someone who's nuked outer space, remember? My list of great accomplishments doesn't need rhinos. And neither does my face." He regarded her out of the corner of his glazed eyes.
"I thought it was worth a shot." she shrugged with a smile. "So, do they give good drugs here?"
"They don't give enough drugs here. I'm on like, cloud 5 at the most. I ordered them to shoot me up again. Mrs. Morphine told me to be a big boy. Guess what I told her?"
"I'm pretty sure I don't want to know."
"I told her that I would only be checking 'partially satisfactory' on my patient care survey."
"Ouch. Remind me not to get on your bad side."
Tony's ensuing snort of laughter turned into a pained grimace.
"Peps, do you happen to have any morphine on you?"
"Ah, must have left it in my other purse. Sorry."
"Lame... fine. I'll settle for Advil."
"I have Motrin."
"Well. On to plan B then. You break into the supply room and find me some of the good stuff."
His tone was light, but she knew him well enough to know that he was only partially joking, and that there was genuine pain etched on his face, maybe invisible to anyone else, but there just the same.
She wrapped both her hands around his left one, the undamaged one.
"Where does it hurt?"
"K, let's see, I got attacked by a falling space rhino-"
"-so I'm gonna say, everywhere."
For him to admit to being in pain, she knew it had to be bad.
"They won't give you any more morphine, Tony. You're strung out as it is."
"Well then, take me home so I can make my own." he snapped back almost before she'd finished her sentence. His tone of desperation bordering on anxiety didn't escape her.
"You might just hate me for this, but you're not going home. Not tonight. Sorry." Her tone sympathetic yet firm as ever.
He regarded her cooly out of untrusting eyes.
"You know I could fire you."
"Go right ahead. But first remind me what your social security number is?"
He shot her a death glare. She hit him right back with the sweetest smile she could muster in the presence of such overwhelming angst.
"I wouldn't fire you anyway… you know too much."
"Yeah, like how to make your special fruit smoothies."
At those words, his eyes went from trapped and upset to total puppydog in a nanosecond.
"I could reeallly use one of those right now. They tried to give me orange jello. Orange, Pepper! I can't live on hospital food. I'll shrivel up and blow away and die."
"You're not shrivelling up and going anywhere. Don't be such a drama queen. People stay in hospitals all the time, nobody's ever died from the food and I promise you won't be the first."
"Would dying get me out of here?"
"Yes. But you wouldn't be going home to your toys. You'd be going in the ground. Because you'd be dead."
In response Tony grumbled something indecipherable but probably very profane. He attempted to reposition himself more comfortably on his side, but his face twisted in pain as he put strain on his broken ribs.
"God, you really did a number on yourself this time. I wish you just wore your suit 24/7." Sympathy or empathy or whatever got the better of Pepper and her hand slipped up to his shoulder where it lingered in what she hoped he interpreted as a comforting gesture.
"I'm fine, my only problem is thatthis bed is simply revolting. How do they expect me to get bed rest without half-decent lumbar support? The springs are gonna start popping out here, I mean look at this… unacceptable" he poked irritably at a frayed edge of the sheet where the bare mattress was visible. "And these walls… repellant. Like, that's not even a real colour. I need to go home."
Pepper took his face in her hands. (Gently, mind you. He was concussed after all).
"Anthony Edward Stark. You can complain till your batteries run out, I am not taking you home. Your ass is staying in this bed until the doctors say you're ready to leave. End of story. I'm your boss today. Now shut up and get better."
Her charge stared back at her with an expression of utter resentment, until he made an observation;
"Aww, Peps! You've got tears in your eyes."
"Oh, shut up, Stark."
It was good to see him smile for a moment, even if it was at her expense.
And then she didn't know quite where it came from -maybe it was the reality hitting her; of how close she came to never seeing that smile again- but she was hit with an inexplicable urge to get as far away from the harshly lit, chemical-smelling hospital room as possible.
"Well, I'm going home to reschedule your meetings and run your company. If you need anything, here's your lifeline." She tossed him the little pull-string that connected to the emergency call bell. He regarded it cooly out of the corner of his eye.
"Like hell I'm touching that. Pass me that hand sanitizer. Wait, what? Aren't you going to say goodbye? Peps? Pepper? Come back! Don't leave me here! Come on, the only thing on TV is Grey's Fucking Anatomy reruns!"
She didn't stop until his voice faded down the hall. Leaving him lying there was like ripping off a bandaid. It hurt for a moment, but better for everyone's health in the long run.
He'd be fine.
Would he be fine? She interrogated herself on the drive home.
It had taken a lot of time and even more alcohol, but he'd told her about Afghanistan once. Not the triumphant escape-in-a-mushroom-cloud-of-flames part. The horrifying part. The part about being pushed and hit and restrained and trapped by unfamiliar faceless and armed men. How the only time he'd ever let his guard down, however accidentally, he'd woken up with shards of metal in his body and a car battery wired to his chest which he was told was keeping him alive and he'd just have to accept it. How the pain was a constant reminder of how his world had just been picked up and shaken and twisted and turned upside down, causing him to lose grip on the control he needed to simply exist as himself.
And she hadn't been there.
This time was different of course. He was safe and sound and everyone did have his best interests at heart, even whoever had the nerve to feed him orange jello. This was controlled, this was okay, this was healing. Not trapping and destroying.
But Pepper knew Tony. And she knew that no matter how much he knew he in his heart that he wasgoing to be okay, there was a small part of him had gone back to the desert tonight, bound, gagged and loathing the uncertainty of strangers altering his body.
4 years ago he was taken and she'd sat alone in his house and cried, disgusted and horrified at how powerless she was to help him.
This time, she was here. And she could help him.
She smiled drove a little faster.
"I'm confused. I thought McDreamy was married. Now he's back with Meredith again?" Bruce pondered, draped in a chair next to his wounded friend's bed.
"You just slept through 2 and a half episodes. He left Addison." Tasha caught him up to speed.
"I thought McSteamy was with Addison!" Clint was flabbergasted.
"He was. That's why McDreamy left her. Do try to keep up." Tony huffed, staring down into the colourless pudding cup that Thor was holding. Tony had immediately established with the nurses that he did not appreciate being handed things, particularly gross hospital food. Thor had taken it upon himself to jovially accept being handed things on his smaller friend's behalf, particularly gross hospital food.
"Friend Stark, are you going to eat this?" the Thunderer inquired curiously.
"It's all yours, Big Guy."
Thor's ensuing grin lit up the whole room and he dug eagerly into the pudding. They were seated on Tony's bed; once the chairs were filled there was nowhere else for Thor to go, so Tony begrudgingly moved over and found there was plenty of room for both of them. Until Steve came back from his trip to the cafeteria and found the gang had finally been let into Tony's room and no one was willing to give up their chairs. So Tony had moved back over to make him a spot, and was now sandwiched between the two blond warriors. That left chairs for Bruce and Tasha. Clint made a nest for himself on the windowsill. Fury, having finally been convinced that Tony wasn't going to escape, at least not tonight, had returned to SHIELD HQ.
Tony had put his escape plot on the back burner for now. But he hadn't given up on making his situation a little more bearable.
"Heeey Bruce? Could you be a champ and whip me up some professional-grade painkillers? Or sedatives? Or… anything? Just not Motrin."
"Stark, I'm a scientist, not a drug dealer. And I can read just fine, your chart says you're at your daily allowance for painkillers." the Hulk's gentle alternate form replied kindly but firmly.
"Rules are made to be broken, help a buddy out." Tony protested. "I let you play in my lab unsupervised, and that is not something I do."
"Nice try. Not falling for the guilt trip."
"Worth a shot." Tony shrugged. Then he turned to Thor. "How bout you? Got any of that crazy mead you brought to Fury's birthday? That'd sure do the job."
"Nay, Friend Stark." Thor replied through a mouthful of pudding.
"Okay then, how about-"
"Tony, shut up and watch your freaky sex doctor show. Not that I understand the appeal of this." Steve contributed, tilting his head sideways and looking up at the TV like a confused puppy.
"It's more appealing than the static on the other 3 channels this outdated box gets." Tony growled. "I swear they put me in the ghetto room on purpose. Obadiah's ghost came back to run this hospital and he has it out for me. That is the only explanation."
"I offered to bring you magazines." Tasha rolled her eyes.
"I can't very well hold them up now, can I?"
"I also offered to hold them for you. That was a once in a lifetime offer, by the way."
"Pshh. What am I, a senior citizen? No offence, Capsicle."
"None taken… Robot." Steve smirked.
Tony giggled, then caught himself.
"Oh my God, I'm reduced to laughing at Rogers' pathetic insults. I need drugs…"
And then, as if sent down from Heaven itself, his guardian angel landed.
"Did someone call for drugs?" Pepper smiled, gliding into the room.
"Peps! You came back for me!" Tony greeted with unbridled delight. The other Avengers exchanged a covert smile; he looked like a puppy whose best friend had just came home after a long day.
"Of course I did. Did you really think I'd leave you to rot in here?"
"Well, yeah."
"Shut up. I brought you goodies."
"No! God, what kind of horrible drug-pusher do you think I am?"
"But you just said-"
"I meant I have something way better than drugs. Go on, open it."
She passed Tony her largest shoulder bag (which happened to be his favourite shade of Hot Rod Red). It looked to be stuffed to the brim. With his good hand, he slowly unpacked…
"JARVIS!" he practically yelped in ecstasy like a child on Christmas morning. Remembering his phone had been smashed by the falling beast and he had no other way of contacting his best AI friend from the hospital, Pepper had thrown in the first JARVIS-integated piece of equipment she'd found in the house. It was a touch-pad sort of tablet thing, she wasn't entirely sure what it did but Tony clearly knew because he hugged it against his chest like a lifeline.
"Good evening, Sir. I was deeply upset to hear you were gravely injured. I hope you are feeling better." said the artificial voice smoothly.
"Much better now, J. Thanks. Now if you have nothing better to do I'd like you to set up a satellite link from this room. I'm getting pretty sick of Grey's Anatomy."
"Right away, Sir."
Tony delved into the giant-purse-thing once again, and this time emerged with a small cylindrical device that resembled a blender. Accompanying it was a bag fresh from the grocery store, containing all of the amenities necessary for a flawless smoothie.
"Smoothie supplies! Aww, Peps… Change of plans, everyone. I will not be starving to death after all."
Next up was his beloved Obama-style Iron Man poster. Tony was barely able to keep a lid on his joy as he Clint hung it up facing the bed.
"Now you can stare at yourself all day. That should make you feel better." Steve chuckled.
"Oh trust me, it does. Now what's next here… what the… what is this?"
Now he was withdrawing a roll of fabric of some sort, but a very thick and spongey fabric.
"Is this what I think it is?" he questioned Pepper, staring up with dazed disbelief.
"That depends, do you think it's NASA-grade microfiber memory foam?"
"I do think that."
"Well then, there you go."
"They use this for beds in space! How do I not have this already?"
"Since you spend the least possible amount of time in your bed, it makes sense that you put the least possible amount of effort and money into it too. Relatively speaking, of course." Pepper clarified. "By the way, there's one more thing in that bag. Just to make you feel especially at home…"
Iron Man pyjamas. Made to look like the actual suit. The little "arc reactor" in the centre even glowed in the dark. Pepper had found them on her quick shopping trip; they were boys' size XXXL. Aka, mens' medium.
"Have I ever told you that I have absolutely no idea what I did in my life to deserve you?" Tony asked abruptly, with an utterly serious expression on his face. Such a self-deprecating thing was the absolute last thing anyone would ever expect him to say in front of other living organisms.
There was a moment of silence where Pepper searched for a witty and deflective comeback appropriate for present company, but Clint beat her to the chase:
"He's fine, everyone. That's the drugs talking."
"Naah, he's expressing his feelings!" Steve argued. "I was starting to worry he didn't have any. Good on ya, Stark."
Whether he really was drug-addled or simply in a rare feelings-y mood, Tony wasn't specifying one or the other. In fact, he'd lost interest in the conversation entirely, and was now directing JARVIS to hack into the hospital's database. Typical.
Pepper then proceeded to set up a makeshift smoothie bar in the corner, and soon everyone wanted in. In no time at all, Thor was double-fisting a thick strawberry concoction, Steve repped his theme colours with a blueberry/raspberry mix with white whipped cream on top. Bruce created a delicacy in the exact shade of Hulk green which didn't look incredibly appetizing, but he swore it tasted great. Meanwhile, Tasha and Clint broke into the vending machine in the hallway while no one was looking and came back with an assortment of snacks worth of an Avengers movie night.
"So that's where they keep the good food." Tony noted.
At first Steve thought the entire concept of tricking a vending machine into giving snacks out for free was utterly awful and immoral, but with one bite of Mars Bar he was completely sold.
Now the scene in the room really did look like any other Avengers movie night: Tony was monopolizing the middle of the bed sporting his Iron Man pjs. Pepper sat beside him, and Steve on the other side of her. Somehow the bed proved wide enough to hold 4, for Thor was still on Tony's other side; crammed onto the smallest possible amount of space but looking remarkably delighted about it. Bruce was channel-surfing via JARVIS's improvised connection to the room's TV. Clint and Nat were casually plotting ways to surreptitiously move a couch from the nurses' lounge into Tony's room - while nibbling on pilfered chocolate bars.
JARVIS streamed a Supernanny marathon until everyone drifted off.
Pepper was the last to go; she took one last look at her man of iron. He'd fallen asleep with his head leaning rather comically into Thor's cushiony upper arm. The thunderer was living up to his name, producing the most spectacular snores she'd ever heard. She noted that Tony was still holding the JARVIS tablet; she gently removed it from his unbroken hand and replaced it with her own.
When she drifted off -squashed cozily between Tony and Steve- all felt right in the world.
It was 2 am when Tony's nurse (the one he dubbed Mrs. Morphine) came around to the room. The first thing she noticed was the sizeable increase in the room's population. The second thing was the presence of what looked like the lounge couch. And on the TV was a muted feed of Supernanny, god only knows how they'd managed to get that channel. Also, they all appeared to be asleep.
"Mr. Stark?" she called as quietly as possible. "I'm here to administer your next dose of morphine."
"Mmnpthh… wuh?" Tony muttered, never particularly eloquent after being woken up unexpectedly.
"It's time for your painkillers. See? I told you you'd get them eventually."
"Do not want. Go'way."
"But… you were very um… adamant about this earlier. You asked me how many hours minutes and seconds till the next one, and here it is."
"I'm fine. Don't need 'em."
"Alright then, dear." concluded the very puzzled Mrs. Morphine. "Just pull your call bell if you feel any pain later."
And the man of iron drifted peacefully back to sleep, believing that the hair tickling his nose was Pepper's. He would have a few more hours of blissful dreaming before he found out that it in fact belonged to Thor.
Pepper herself had heard the whole thing, and she'd never been more proud of him. Mere hours ago he was on the brink of an "agonizing death", to put it melodramatically. Now he'd just declined a dose of the painkiller he'd recently been willing to steal.
Must be the pyjamas. She thought with a smile.
But only Tony would ever know the truth. It wasn't the pyjamas, or the flawless trademark Pepper Potts smoothies, or even his link to JARVIS.
It was all of it, and none of it.
Because if she was there, then he was already home.
And that smile lets her know,
that she's somebody's hero
D'aww sleepies ;) I sincerely hope you didn't drown in all that fluff. I found out I really enjoy writing Pepperony banter. And that's also my favourite ship name ever (and I say that with a piece of pepperoni pizza hanging out of my mouth, ironically). Almost as great as Peeniss of THG.
Also yay for Bilchsteim! ;) I've wanted to throw them in somewhere ever since I saw the movie. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to go watch Avengers again.
Please note I don't hate Grey's Anatomy. I actually really fucking love it. I just doubt Tony would ;)
That's all for now, House Arrest update to come within the week :) also chapter 6 has officially received 45 reviews as of now. My mind = BLOWN. AGAIN. I will never be able to properly express my love for all of you.
If it's good enough to favourite, it's good enough to review. Yes, this means you. Press the button.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced that Oman has lifted its ban on all U.S. beef and beef product imports.
"Oman's market reopening demonstrates a commitment to trade in beef and beef products based on internationally accepted scientific standards for human and animal health," said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. "Oman recognizes that all U.S. beef and beef products are safe. This is another step forward in our efforts to reopen global markets for U.S. beef."
In 2003, the United States exported more than $61,000 worth of beef and beef products to Oman. It is the second country in the Middle East region to reopen its market to U.S. beef. Egypt announced the reopening of its market to U.S. beef in March.
In 2003, the United States exported approximately $7.5 billion worth of beef, beef products, cattle and other ruminants and ruminant byproducts. After the discovery of a BSE-infected cow in the United States, $4.8 billion worth of beef exports were banned. To date, USDA estimates that is has recovered $1.9 billion of the banned amount

an editorial by Kenji Fujiyama
translated by Brett Larner
With a crack of the whip from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the controversial plans for the 2020 Olympic Stadium that have generated a storm of criticism have gone back to the drawing board. Underlying Abe's decision, the news that the project's wasteful $2 billion+ USD price tag has disappeared is glad tidings indeed. But the price was not the only problem with the plans.
Official JAAF-certified athletics facilities are classified into four categories, with the World Championships and other major international events requiring the highest level facilities within that categorization. Absolutely essential for a facility to receive the highest level of certification is the presence of an auxiliary track, known as a sub-track. With no sub-track included in the plans for the 2020 Olympic Stadium, after the Olympics the JAAF would be unable to use it to stage major events like the World Championships let alone national-level events like the National Sports Festival or National High School Championships.
This problem has been pointed out by numerous members of the Japanese athletics industry from the early stages. But with decision makers showing a reluctance to allocate land and budget, plans instead opted for the construction of a temporary sub-track nearby with the rationalization being that the previous National Stadium did not have a permanent sub-track, temporary sub-tracks having been built for the 1964 Olympics and 1991 World Championships.
The requirement for a sub-track is not a luxury but a necessity. Because there are a large number of events in athletics, track events, field events and throws all go on at the same time. Add in athletes warming up for their upcoming events and you have an overflow situation. A sub-track is necessary to prevent accidents. In all the Olympics and World Championships I have covered around the world, I have never seen a stadium without permanent sub-track facilities.
The Olympics may have the budget to build a temporary sub-track, but there is no way that other events like the National Sports Festival or National High School Championships could afford to do the same. The main causes of the colossal cost of the Olympic Stadium plan are its bow-like structure (keel arch) and the enormous amount budgeted toward features other than its function as a stadium, including VIP rooms, meeting rooms, exhibition halls and restaurants. With heavy duty cost reduction a major theme, it is absolutely essential that the new plans include a permanent sub-track.

The New Olympic Stadium Plans Must Include a Permanent Sub-Track

Even the Ajinomoto Stadium in Fuchu has a sub-track. In fact, it's a beautiful track, with a grandstand, available for use by anyone for almost nothing - 100 or so yen. In fact...they should just have the Olympic track & field events at Ajinomoto! They are already building other facilites near the sub-track for other Olympic events.

Ajinomoto, by the way, is the home ground of Tokyo FC. It's a little ways from central Tokyo, but not too far.
Anyway, it's a moot point - they're not going to have the T&F there.

The skeletal support system works with the lightweight O Matter frame that will retain its flexibility even in extreme cold so it will conform to your face and the O Matter strap outriggers that keep everything evenly balanced either with or without a helmet. And to further reduce pressure and augment comfort the chassis is surrounded by a thick triple layer of fleece face foam with moisture wicking properties. The dual vented lens with HDO technology provides unsurpassed impact protection with unbeatable clarity for a fine tuned calibration of light transmission that increases depth perception. They have also been treated with a specially formulated F3 Anti-fog coating and offer 100% UV protection from all harmful rays. So at the end of the day the Elevate guarantees a clear line of sight regardless of the conditions with superior comfort for all day wear.

Good Marrow Huskies!
My name is Mike and I will be your orientation during the 2016-17 school year. As you transition into the UW Bothell community, I am here to help make your transition as smooth as possible.
I am at the end of my junior year here at UWB, I was born in New Jersey, but have lived in the Bothell area most of my life, I even graduated from Bothell High School. I transferred here from next door, with an AA from Cascadia College and now I am working hard on my two majors American and Ethnic Studies, and Culture Literature, and Arts Then it's on to graduate school for my masters of education to teach high school history and English. Being a non-traditional student on campus doesn't leave me with a lot of time for the many amazing clubs UWB has to offer, when I can I like to play in the many intermural sport activates here I am working on starting a theater club on campus, so if you have any ideas or would like a club like this here let me know. The campus of UBW is shockingly surprising for being so small it has so many things I am still discovering them myself all the time, it's kind of awesome.
Off campus you can find me working at O'Reilly, I try to catch a few Mariner games when I can. I also love the Seattle Sounders and am sad I at this time cannot keep my season tickets, Go Seahawk by the way huge fan there too. If I'm not watching or playing sports I'm down town listing to live music, or hiking, camping, anything I can do outdoors, or lastly anything I can with my two teenagers. I have and do volunteer at Children's hospital, or the Big Climb in Seattle for Cancer research.
I am really excited to meet all of you incoming students! UW Bothell is such a great place to call home
