Five days, and the torn muscles still hadn't fully healed.
Pain is inevitable, and while some say that suffering is optional, for me both were usually genuine curiosities more than anything else. You see, the most horrifying aspect of sprinting anywhere above a hundred miles an hour is the excruciating pain--never mind doing so to intercept ordnance designed to take out main battle tanks.
Using the JAW-180 armor's radio transponder to remotely trigger a split-second reboot of the fired missile's pressure and proximity sensors was easy enough, but it had already broken the sound barrier and was only fifteen meters off the ground.
To my shame, I barely managed five pumping strides before my entire right foot fractured from the impacts; my left calf damn near ruptured at full load to maintain the hundred and twenty mile an hour sprint while I simultaneously launched airborne to deflect the missile.
Immediately after the distant blast's shockwave crashed into me and cast me downward, I counted several ruptured organs. My heart definitely stopped--twice. As I landed and went on the offense, I couldn't help but smile when I realized I'd never again have to look up the definition of the word 'excruciating'.
I could shut down my ability to feel pain, but that would go against the meaning of the Sanskrit name I chose for myself, which denoted someone admirable. Besides, as the one burdened with the continuity of the human race, it was only fitting to endure life like they did.
With this in mind, I turned to the three following me through the dawn.
Adam and Chitra supported Miranda between them. Each had a quiet perseverance and professionalism wholly at odds with what I expected, and that made me curious enough to not abandon them and continue babysitting Kael like I was supposed to.
She'll live, I convinced myself. Probably. Maybe. If she's anything like me.
"Just fifteen more miles to the city wall," I told them.
"Oh, that's nice." Miranda laughed. "Just fifteen miles, since that's a reasonable walking distance."
Of course it is, I thought. You don't have to swim at any point, but of course no well adjusted person would probably say that in this situation. So...
I sped up my perception--which effectively stretched time to a point for me--to look up the definition of the word 'sarcasm' in my mind, and it appeared to me as text on a simple translucent rectangle. After this, I browsed through a list that showed every permutation of every single thing my current persona would say to such a sarcastic remark under these circumstances.
See, decades ago I learned that even if my engineered body had the similar living flesh, blood and bones of the people around me, I was incomplete both physically--hence the relatively weak durability, plus a five foot petite stature--and incomplete mentally because my mind lacked a certain...humanity. At every social interaction, I had to feign with convincing mimicry all the human mannerisms I showed. About half a second later, I decided on the appropriate response, tone of voice and stressed words.
"After a year's training, it sure as fuck should be walking distance."
"I'm just saying," Miranda replied, "we should have gone back for the working rover."
I tried my hand at sarcasm: "yeah--because the same shit-heads who can run such a coordinated ambush haven't thought about that. Look, that was an Armorclad hunter-killer squad, and someone on our side gave them those suits and weapons."
"Meaning we're completely exposed," Adam clarified to Miranda.
"That still doesn't explain why we're maintaining radio silence--or why no one even came to look for us. Worse yet, your genius plan is to walk right into Athernis anyways. The same city that hunter-killer squad was headed to."
The same hunter-killer squad that's been tracking us for days and would've killed you by now if I hadn't chosen to babysit you, I consoled my flaring temper with more sarcasm. So please, enlighten me. Go on, please. I know nothing about warfare.
"Yep," I confirmed again, since she was after all a child. "And we're on our own precisely because everyone else is just as fucked as we are, if not worse. In fact, probably much worse."
"Okay, then what's the grand master plan when we get to Athernis?"
"No idea," I lied. You should really watch your fucking mouth, kid.
"I'm surprised you ran out of ideas all of a sudden--"
I spun to face Miranda, both arms at my waist and all.
I was a bit shorter, so my would-be opponent smirked in a moment of superiority.
A dozen attack vectors had already appeared in my sights, but of course I thought better of it. Such simple savagery would merely award me with three corpses that would immediately pose lifeless--as all corpses do--and leave me without an audience for hours on end.
"Let's just get there first," I told Miranda, sure to express that patronizing smile for added effect; the kid was clearly fragile in more ways than one. "Since you look like you need a lot of help, we'll take care of you first."
Miranda scoffed--cringed as she turned away, gritted her teeth against the pain.
So you learned to hide all that frustration from being looked down upon behind this sarcasm? Good. It's the only thing that kept you going, and the only damn thing keeping you going right now besides the endurance medical cocktails.
The Therrite strips at Miranda's midsection and chest had cracked and crumbled away under concentrated gunfire; dried bloodstains had darkened her bullet resistant under suit, and her helmet had several fractures. "I'll be fine," Miranda said, all imperious and proud like. "I'm still alive, aren't I?"
Five, I guessed. At least five bullets in her, and some of them are migrating after days of hiking, yet still she dare talk back to me. What were you trying to prove by sacrificing yourself for the company back there--especially when you still loathe everyone just a bit more than yourself?
I led them along the river, and by sunset a grey haze of smoky rain clouds drifted across the sky, stabbed through with pale shafts of sunlight. We arrived atop a small hill, where I stood on a rocky prominence and had a better panoramic view.
The setting sun lit the dwindling, mist-filled rainforest below, down to the grassy flatlands beyond. Past that, I saw a sinuous strip of black road that knifed through the wilderness and snaked toward a sudden, flat ridge that rose against the golden horizon. Like many colony-world capital cities, Athernis was built into a massive, ancient impact crater.
We slowed while I--an otherwise harmless-looking petite college girl at just five feet tall--pretended to struggle while supporting Miranda, and walked through the city gates well past the lonely hour of midnight while rain fell from the stirring dark clouds above in otherwise dead silence. It seemed like the entire city of three million was evacuated, and not just recently--weeks, or months ago.

Despite its vital role allowing global economies to work smoothly while providing security, protection and peace of mind to its customers, the insurance industry struggles to gain respect—perhaps it just needs to communicate better, better, says Mike Morrissey.
This is the time of the year when business magazines publish their 'best of' and 'biggest of' lists. Fortune magazine, for instance, just published its well-known Fortune 500 list of the largest companies in America, which it has been doing for more than half a century.
In recent years, as the business world has globalised, many publications have started making their lists worldwide in scope. Two recently caught my eye as I was flying from Shanghai back to New York, pondering the globalisation of the insurance industry.
Fortune released its 2013 version of the Fortune Global 500, the world's largest companies ranked by revenues. The number one company, Royal Dutch Shell, with revenues of nearly $500 billion, was more than three times the size of the largest insurance company. That company, AXA, ranked number 20 overall with revenues of $155 billion.

I am a concerned parent...seeing that the future for my kids does not look good if we don't start making our voices be heard....I'm a Proud American of 45 years and I'm tired of our Government going Rogue out of control not careing about it's people just themselves.
We have a good start in Wisconsin. We kicked many of the anti-gun politicians out of office & now we've become the 49th state to have a concealed carry law plus constitutional carry & Castle Doctrine.
If more sportsmen & gun enthusiasts voted using their own minds instead of blindly following the lead of their unions, the media they watch/read or the way their fathers voted or "public opinion" derived from rigged polls maybe we can keep the ball rolling.
In my long life I've watched my rights eroding ever so gradually, so gradually that it's hard to notice until you wake up one day. Once they start with , say- assault rifles, then ammo types, then magazine capacity it won't stop but continue on until one day we'll realize that just owning a firearm makes you a criminal.

Welcome! The bad news is, Obama got elected because there were simply more votes from the highest population density cities where crime rates are highest along with the numbers of people on giveaway programs. Illinois is a perfect example. There are more Democratic voters in Chicago than the total number of voters in the rest of the state combined. The result is, Chicago and the Democratic machine controls the entire state. You have hard working farmers, factory workers and other productive folks being taxed, legislated and controlled by ghetto dwellers who proudly point to generations of relatives who never had a job. They get free cel phones, flat screen TV's, three square-a-day and food stamps that they can trade for cig's and beer, never mind that the state is near-broke. California is right there with them as is Michigan, New York, Indiana and many others. I hardly think the Hollywood elite will feel the pinch but I like your way of thinking.

Welcome to the forum, it's a great place to share info and ideas.
Don't forget that one of the easiest, most direct ways to make your voice on the 2A be heard is to join/donate to as many 2A organizations as possible. NRA, GOA, 2nd Amendment Foundation, and state associations all need to swell in members and $$$. Even if you don't agree with everything groups like the NRA are doing, just seeing the big increase in membership sends the message to our legislators. It also helps to counter the media claim that the NRA and other groups in the 'gun lobby' are just shills of the corporate gun industry. These groups are made up of you and I, concerned citizens who value our traditions, and our seek to preserve the protections afforded by the 2A.
Make sure you are sharing your concern with your friends, family, and neighbors, and make sure it includes a plea to join/donate to 2A organizations.

The Legend of Carlos Gardel
A romantic and twisted movie that mix together class, drama, passion and Tango.
Carlos Gardel is one of the greatest icons in the world. He is the greatest leading star who projected his music and lyrics in early cinema, was actor, dancer and singer.
The story takes place in a golden era in history, the roaring 20's and it travels from Argentina to Paris, from New York to Hollywood. In the same time when Gardel's fame exploded around the globe.
Martin De Luca, producer, obtained the WGAw rights of the original screenplay and special notes in 1994 directly from Mr. Enrique Cadicamo. Since then, Martin De Luca is working with dedication to realize this project and fulfil the dream that maestro Enrique Cadicamo left behind.

The most overrated — especially by himself — person in American history was born on this date in 1880. That's Douglas MacArthur.
Julia Morgan was born in San Francisco on January 26, 1872.
Miss Morgan was one of the first women to graduate from University of California at Berkeley with a degree in civil engineering. During her tenure at Berkeley, Morgan developed a keen interest in architecture which is thought to have been fostered by her mother's cousin, Pierre Le Brun, who designed the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower in New York City. At Berkeley one of her instructors, Bernard Maybeck, encouraged her to pursue her architectural studies in Paris at the Ecole Nationale et Speciale des Beaux-Arts.
Arriving in Paris in 1896, she was initially refused admission because the Ecole had never before admitted a woman. After a two-year wait, Julia Morgan gained entrance to the prestigious program and became the first woman to receive a certificate in architecture. While in Paris, Morgan also found a mentor in her professor, Bernard Chaussemiche, for whom she worked as a drafter.
Soon after her graduation from the Ecole, Julia Morgan returned to her native San Francisco and began working for architect John Galen Howard. At the time Howard was the supervising architect of the University of California's Master Plan, the commission of which he won by default from Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Morgan worked on the Master Plan drawing the elevations and designing the decorative details for the Mining Building built in memory of George Hearst. During this time Morgan also designed the Hearst Greek Theater on the Berkeley campus.
Over the course of the next 28 years, Morgan supervised nearly every aspect of construction at Hearst Castle including the purchase of everything from Spanish antiquities to Icelandic Moss to reindeer for the Castle's zoo. She personally designed most of the structures, grounds, pools, animal shelters and workers' camp down to the minutest detail. Additionally, Morgan worked closely with Hearst to integrate his vast art collection into the structures and grounds at San Simeon. She also worked on projects for Hearst's other properties including Jolon, Wyntoon, Babicore, the "Hopi" residence at the Grand Canyon, the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Memorial Gymnasium at Berkeley, the Los Angeles Examiner Building, several of his Beverly Hills residences and Marion Davies' beach house in Santa Monica.
57 years ago today Danny Heater scored 135 points for Burnsville (West Virginia) High School (against Widen HS). It is still the record by one player in any sanctioned game at any level. He had 50 at the half. He was 53 for 70 from the field (all two pointers, of course) and 29 of 41 from the line. He also had 32 rebounds and 7 assists. He was just 6-feet-0.
… was proclaimed on this date in 1922. It was made part of Great Basin National Park in 1986.
Lehman Caves attracts tens of thousands of visitors to eastern Nevada yearly, a trend that began not long after their discovery in the late 1880s. For over 60 years, Lehman Caves National Monument protected these underground wonders, with their unique geology and ecology. And today, they remain protected as part of Great Basin National Park.
The human history of Lehman Caves is both interesting and insightful. The discovery of such a natural wonder only 130 years ago is thrilling, while the abuse the cave endured during its early years causes many people to cringe. Learning about the early years of Lehman Caves provides context for the cave today. History remains the great teacher.

text: I just wanted to share some good news I had. I had Maryland -3' over Miami tonight and I was in what I consider to be the worst position when gambling: When my team is winning the game but not covering the spread. So it's MD 26, Miami 24 with less than a minute to go and on 4th down Miami had the ball, QB throws right sideline - INT return for a TD to COVER THE SPREAD!!! I call those plays, which you maybe see once or twice a year - the "defensive miracle" Whatta finish to the opening weekend. This helps make up for how I felt screwed for taking the Michigan Wolverines and not winning that bet due to inclement weather.

The confessionMature
Kalen held me in his arms which I didn't return. "we should get back to them cause if they are connected to me they should probably have powers and your power cravings for me will just get stronger standing here wont they, what are you gonna like eat me or something?" I said in sheer anger and walked back to the group leaving Kalen to think and hopefully feel guilty. I had to tell them they could help us get out of this mess so I explained the whole situation to them and we needed Kalen to tell us how to get rid of her but I couldn't go near him without wanting to strangle him, I walked away and left Toni talking to Kalen, my best freind and the guy who broke my heart in a minute.
"So Kalen your the traitor tell us how to get out of this.. if you're a faerie can't you stop this illusion of woods?" asked Toni quite patronizingly I was proud this is what its all about... treating traitors like shit. We always agreed on that but it felt wrong to be doing that to Kalen, I loved him and hated him at the same time, he lied to me.
"Well actually I'm not that kind of faerie, I'm the kind which kicks ass. I don't know how to get rid of it because I tried many centuries ago but it didn't work, my people fear Gullveig its a name we gave her it means witch in ancient faerie. It is legend that only the 7 warriors could take her down, she has killed so many of my people millions of people and faeries have dropped dead at her feet, we might just be that 7" Everyone's mouth dropped and Christopher made the brave guy act and came to fetch me. He dragged me back and said "If we are the 7 we need to stick together" everyone else was shocked he actually said something smart! "wow blood mixing must have exchanged some brain cells." Toni replied astonished.
Suddenly there was rustling behind us I jumped back into safe hands and saw Gullveig creep upside down closer. I couldn't move she looked like many dolls torn apart and put together incorrectly the teeth of a shark in a doll-like face snapped at the jaw to the right, the angels wings shedding feathers seeing the bone structure and her long nails dug into the tree and blood pouring out her fingers like a waterfall but she didn't seem to notice. Her bones stuck out, her hair soaked with; was that blood? and her eyes red burning with hunger but hunger for what? power? meat? either way we were screwed.

Here's what we read and loved on the internet this week.
The last year has seen a wave of companies reject one of the worst factory farm practices out there. But Sysco's pledge might have the most impact yet.
The EPA doesn't know where most factory farms are, nor what they're polluting — and yet it just reversed a rule that would have helped clean water regulators find out.
Despite its name, the American Farm Bureau Federation is more likely to side with the insurance industry than it is with farmers.
What if you could eat meat without causing animals to suffer? Take our survey.
With more factory farms, bigger meat processing facilities, and growing numbers of immigrant workers, it looks like Cargill and Co. might be priming the Midwest to produce meat for the world.
A new campaign targets Trader Joe's, with an interest in prompting industry-wide change.
Americans now spend just under 9 percent of our income on food, about 30 percent less than we did in 1982. But is this a good thing?

In days of old,
ye knights were bold
And Dragons roamed the land
Sir Lancelot, he was a knight
And Fought with Sword in hand
White horse he rode
With his lance
A shiny suit of armour
Beware this knight, the story goes
He really is a charmer!
Now one fine day, he saw a lass
And whispered in her ear
A shock he got, when she revealed
I'm lady Guinevere
In love they fell
Before too long
Merlin cast a spell
While hunting out one afternoon
The king, black knight would tell
Black knight 's plan
Came alight
When Lancelot was banished
Shed a tear, did Guinevere
When she learned he'd vanished.
Now this legend
Hath been told
A morale doth contain
Keep your lance, tucked in your pants
And save yourself the pain!

I have a wandering mind
my lines as I draw them
over the grid as I steer them
through intersections
I veer them
perspectives I see
when I peer them...
detecting truth
in the dots as I hear them
A gentle Awe
the sound of pause
soft claw.ing sings from my pen
when the lines are drawn
and my mind goes wandering...
About U
My artful perception.

I never wanted it to be this way, I never wanted to feel the pain. Bruises all over me.
Invisible but I can see them.
You hurt me everywhere. My heart is shattered and the blood has frozen. But I won't be
your victim.
Stare at me like this all you want. Try and hurt me with your words just as long as you
don't use fists.
I don't ever want to be your victim. I refuse to be one of those few girls who end up
losing their whole world.
Love isn't supposed to hurt, but maybe I was just naive because the moment I loved you my
heart never stopped bleeding.
I won't be your victim, I won't run away. If you have something to say I won't avoid it.
I'm not scared I can take whatever you try to throw.
Don't hold back I promise you I will not cry. The moon is shining just like all the
diamonds that you called pretend love I can't even imagine why I fell so hard.
It's never clear until the glass of water is gone. But now that you've gulped me to the
last I want you to know I won't be your victim.
I kissed vulnerability goodbye the very last time I cried over you and I won't be your
victim your not even worth it.
If you feel like you must shove a door in my butt but don't make me afraid because I
don't want to be I don't want to be your victim.
Let go of my hand so I can peacefully drive away if you want me to I can drive over you
as well. But don't make it seem like i'm causing you pain because it's obvious to see
that I've been a victim and it's a shame.
But I don't want to be it anymore then you so just let me go and I won't have to run. I
promised you forever I laugh at this now you were never eternity love in my mind.
I kept counting until the madness in ourselves would corrupt. Tears flash down my eyes
as I speed down the lanes. Two bottles of Gin and I think i'm going insane.
It wasn't until I crashed into a tree that I realized I was never your victim I was
merely your suicide mission.

The best days come round and round
Follow the around the world
A Jester you are the crown
A Jester among the crowd
Searching for life from pole to pole!
A professional when it comes to clown
You got the soul to let it roll
Your too clever to hold a frown
Your parole has lost your control
A smile is all you know how to expand
You run - you play - you dance
Implanting a moment, so grand
Lifting the spirit with just one glance.
You are like a substance in high demand
You are the Queen to a blind romance
You stole the heart of a Nobel man
Jester we are at the feet of your command
Parted from the King, who does not understand
The crowd eating from the palm of your hand
No one knows what jokes you got planned
Suited up in pinkish - purple - green polyester
Everyone bowing to you where you stand
Excitement towards the Queen, who plays the Jester
Jerking the kingdom of her land
Jester you play the role of the best mind molester!!

Benjamin Franklin was known for many a-things
Longing for reality to spring from his dreams
On a wild stormy night made a discovery
A dastardly magic called electricity!
However I would bet highly you didn't know
Of Benji's hauntingly beautiful crystal show
Victorian lasses died and went to heaven
The glass armonica swooned even his brethren
Benjamin Franklin was certainly a legend
To live without his gifts is hard to imagine
I see him now and then if I'm super lucky
His noble face glued to artificial money

< Cascading lakes and streams
The loon stands out it seems
Minnesota's state bird
I know it must sound absurd
Adopted in nineteen sixty one
Wails and yodels heard under the sun
Black and white bearing red eyes
Wingspans five feet can make one cry
Body lengths up to three feet
Yet clumsy on lands and moss peat
They are high speed flyers
And great underwater divers
They can dive up to ninety feet
In pursuit of fish they want to eat
They are even on our license plates
An critical habitat drawn on metal slates
Twelve thousand of these unique birds
God that has to be a lot of turds
But for now I'll enjoy it's captured views
Of this beautiful loon and it's most colorful hues

There you go again doing things that you are not suppose to be in and then you look at
me like oh i'm so sweet if you only knew I can be a freak without showing it. Here they
go listening to the rumors but i'm your friend so in the end I know that they are true.
How could you do that with him and her and they were on the ground you were pretending to
pick up gum? You need to be safe, making out with strangers girl I aint no saint but god
what are you doing? I don't want to see you years from now telling me you got aids, I
worry about you and I feel like your special so I even wrote about you come on look how
much you mean to me. You like him I get it but how many other guys have you liked in the
past. He's your only, he's a phony make sure he's not just in it for the prize because
girl you never know some guys are. It's the truth and you need to listen, I don't mean to
sound bossy but soon enough your name is going to be posted on all the bathrooms walls.
Telling things that you haven't even done yet. But you will front about it, Lie again.
Telling everyone it's happened how do we know what's real or fake. I love your
personality I wish I could steal it, Your loud, and flirty, daring and smart girl you got
too much heart to be showing it to everyone who wants a sip. this is for all the nasty
girls out there who think I don't know what i'm saying just ask anyone of them who are
dead now or are on the streets prostitiuting. Don't be afraid to be a freak it's healthy
but sometimes it's better when it's secret closet freaks have more fun.
And so they sat, this learned three
in full pursuit of liberty,
the turkey, eagle and the dove
looked down upon them from above.
The declaration almost writ
they rubbed their chins a little bit;
looked heavenward, and there espied
their feathered friends, as one they cried:
The perfect symbol he would be
to represent our great country!
His visage shall our seal adorn
To celebrate our new land born!
But harmony became dissent
as three ways now their discourse went;
voicing long as they were able -
till three bird splats hit the table.
Silenced now, the conversation
at this triple defecation,
the trio must now make a pact:
clean up the table, and their act.
Full focused now, the case was laid
for each bird, compliments were paid,
pausing only, eyes a-goggle
at the turkey's goofus gobble.
Despite their eloquential might
they could not make their choice take flight;
just as they made their virtues soar
another splat would hit the floor.
The birds, enjoying now this game
attempt to calibrate their aim;
to make their mark and thus complete
the declaration at their feet.
The Dove, descending from his perch
aghast at our trio's besmirch;
peppering poop across their stage
like little stars across the page.
The turkey, not to be outdone
slicked back his crop and took a run;
with several rather clumsy wipes
he bathed the document with stripes.
The Eagle watched with some disdain
his adversaries stock now wane;
their lust for glory now long gone -
he knew he was the chosen one.
The Eagle may have won the day
his image is still used today;
but Dove and Turkey may still brag -
they made the stars and stripes your flag.

B is for itching, "Why can't I have a car?"
U is for the umbilical cord. You never cut from Ma.
N is for neutral, "Why should you take a stand?"
D is for dependent, "Hey, one always needs a hand!"
A is for angry, "Well, why the hell shouldn't I be?"
N is for nostalgia, 'cause in the past we're free.
C is for the ocks ;) who run the whole damn show!.
E is for euthanasia, "When your old just GO!"
And all that spells abundance, in case you could not tell?

Mamma Anna made the best Babba' al Rhum,
you should have seen me how it made me slightly drunk;
and jumping and screaming I danced to the beats of a drum...
then grandma joined in and she sang a classical song!
And the sweet cream was on my lips and cheeks,
the Babba' al Rhum was delicious and I topped it with chocolate;
everybody began shouting, "It came from Paris,
but we Neapolitans reinvented it by improving its shape and taste!"
Mamma Anna made the best Babba' al Rhum, soaking it in that liqueur much longer;
and Papa' always told me to eat more of it...saying with a suppressing laughter,
"It's a man's dessert, after you eat it, you'll be strong!"
Oh, did he really tell me the truth? No, he was wrong!
It's so very sad that they aren't here,
and I am eating pretzels and drink a beer,
the harmony that stirred their passion can't possibly return...
as they danced on the terrace to celebrate the day I was born!
Mamma Anna knew how to make the best Babba' al Rhum,
and I licked the dripping rum with my finger...not my tongue!
She spoke calmly...when she should have gotten mad and picked up a broom;
no, she was never mean and rude, or ever said to me, " Go to your room!"

He has been a sportsman all his life, he played basketball, volleyball and softball all his youth, but his real passion is soccer and even though he is 55 years old now, he still keeps playing it and loving it. He has had all kinds of cleats, all brands, all colors, different styles, but it does not change anything, he still plays amazing. But one thing I do find hilarious is that every time he comes from a game, he cleans his cleats, he washes them and takes them with such an unbelievable affection, that I'm beginning to think that he might love them more than he loves me, but now I do know the feeling of a new shiny, hard and beautiful pair of cleats. I still recall when he took me for my very first pair, I could not believe he was doing it for me, I was so excited, but now I realize that what I was excited about is that I could be like my father for just a moment when I had them on. Ever since I was little, I remember my daddy playing soccer, leaving home all dressed up, ready to fight, and win the ball to make a remarkable roll on the field. The playing field that we both love, the field all covered in grass, all green, so delicious and soft, so colorful… being crashed by everyone's cleats and the rolling ball, feeling the sunlight on our skin, and the wind on our faces. Having a team, an extra family with whom we could find support and create new ideas, new plays so we could smash the opponent. So yes, I loved watching him play and cheering him up more than I could ever like watching official and famous soccer teams. I do find funny the fact that my father's hobby became mine since everyone says we're too similar, and even though he also has a son, his daughter is with whom he shares that connection. I love the fact that our simple relationship was started thanks to such a manly sport, and curiously, to transform me into such a girly girl.

I will wait for the phone to ring
Without a dial tone!
Did I not pay my phone bill?
Ring! Ring it's the TELEPHONE.
A very unusual way to leave the world.
Let's all thank,
For one of the world's best inventions
The most valuable means of communication.
UN-great-full we are,
Abandoning the telephone in every nation
We now consider the cell phone a better creation.
What happens to talk to our friends from home.
Now you are talking while pumping gas at the gas station.
Driving around while talking on the phone.
You don't care about your situation.
Just as long your antenna is not on roaming.
What happen to s.o.s. Communication.
Now we TEX with addiction.
Do not forget about the phoning internet.
Do not forget about the year1876.

Well, I moved into town to live like a city slicker,
Loaded my truck, found a place, and here I am,
Though a country boy has a head a bit thicker,
City life is not so hard to understand,
And I've been learnin' how to use a computor,
How to do some picture takin' with a cell phone,
How to get insurance for my truck and motor scooter,
But city life is nothing like back home,
Because where I come from, they call it the boonies,
Dirt roads, back woods, life as country as can be,
Though now I'm mixed in with all the town loonies,
They'll never take the country out of me,
Yea, I can still plant me a nice little garden,
Though not nearly as big as it use to be,
And still listen to country music, Dolly Parton,
She's on my coffee mug for all to see,
And I still get to do some dear huntin'
For those split tails runnin' 'round here,
And I make sure to keep my truck tuned and runnin'
By way of Auto Zone, or I'd run out of beer,
Yea, I livin' in the hood, straight from the boonies,
It's great be an American and free,
Though I'm mixed in good with all the town loonies,
They'll never take the country out of me,
Yea, I moved into town to live like a city slicker,
And I'm doin' the best that I can...
I can drive by Churchill Downs and hear the horses nicker,
I'm just a country boy with a city slicker plan,
I can drive by Churchill Downs and hear the horses nicker,
I'm still a country boy, yea, that's who I am,
Though a country boy has a head a bit thicker,
City life is not so hard to understand.

At the final stroking of saint Halloween eve, it seems not so long ago,
That my trusty SUV, transport vehicle unceremoniously broke down,
Right outside the local pet cemetery, what a marvelous place to
Spend the spookiest night of the year, changing a flat tire right next
Door to the graveyard of the barking dead!
Ha, ha I thought to myself these children of the night better be at
Rest, I'm just not in the mood for playing fetch the bone, with
Any undead beasties tonight!
That's when I heard a hellish sound, coming from this unconsecrated
Ground of Fido's lost and found burial mounds, it started out low,
But grew with every shrill passing moment, I dropped the jack,
Picked up my throbbing heart, and became brave Balto of the
Polar North fame!
Inch by inch I approached, these iron bars gates that which were
Oddly left Unlocked, approaching the very center I stopped dead
Within my tracks, just as metal basketball rolled at my very feet,
Within two red glowing eyes meant mine, what the #### ####,
Is this thing, this it within a bob-wire metal shell?
It had very little hair, more like a grizzly patch here and there,
A ratty tail like a mouse, but what really caught my attention
The most was its sharp talon like claws, but it cried so, my
Mother instinct overrode my sinus of reasoning, it's helpless,
Tender howling touched the darkness of my deepest Edger
Allen soul, so I picked it up, and took it home!
Now, now I told it, don't be afraid, I'll cut you free from
Your iron cage, it seemed to understand me in dark
Level that I can't explain, my little creepy dude,
By the way such became his name, my undead pet
From the realm of the unknown!
It growled and hissed at me at first, almost nipping
At my bare fingertips, I'll have none of that biting
Business, I told it just be patient I'll have you out
In just a few minutes!
At long last it burst free, running attempting to
Flee far away from me, but I was quicker than it,
This terrifying thing, that captured me with it's
Howling cry!
Now my little creature feature, you need a bath
It shivered at the mention of the word, meaning clean!
But it had a very foul musty odor of brimstone, and
Rotten fleshy decay, into a vat of Mr. Bubbles it so went,
This it thing, my creepy little dude!
After I brushed and towel him off, I feed him a mushy
Mush of oatmeal and milk, but he spit it at me, "ok what
Does a thing like you eat than," I asked!
The creature than went to my fridge just as if it were
The most natural thing in the world to do, grabbed a
Bottle of spuds suds, popped the cork, and sat next to
The old boo tube, now just you wait a cotton picking
Minute, I thought to myself, no way!
It than snatched a slice of day old pizza from a nasty,
Cardboard box sitting in my waste paper bin, gobbled
It down in a moment, than burped out soundly,
It's gratifications satisfaction!
The whole time I'm wondering what the #### did I bring
Home, this it thing, that now reminds me of my ex-husband,
Beer, pizza, and TV burping, but just as I was thinking about
Taking it to the dead creature's animal shelter, it captured
My inner heart all over again, in a flick of my heart
It had nestled in my lap, growling in a purr, than
Tenderly clawing at my tummy, it snoozed!
From that point on it this thing, fondly known as
My creepy little dude, could do no wrong in my eyes,
It stayed just the same size, even though it eat night
And day, it drooled on everything, from the baseboards
To the chandler but I didn't care, for he was my
Creepy little dude!
Than the next Halloween night it happened,
I got a knock at my pantry door, it was two
Creatures, a female werewolf, and a male
Choapa Cobra, excuse us Miss Have you seen,
A metal basinet bob wire ball?
My little creepy dude ran passed me, in a flash yelled momma,
And the jig was up, these unusual parents thanked me,
Hugged their baby and left, I never saw the it thing again
After that, my little creepy dude was gone forever!
But I'll never forget, what happened not so long ago,
On a Halloween night, or my treasured pet, the it thing,
Known as my little creepy dude!

Always find things to laugh about,
Laughing makes us stress free,
Nice things are not always, the first that we see,
So lots of time,we tap into great memories,
Remember when you fell from your bike or a tree,
Got bit by a bee or bullied by Tommy,
Running to the house,screaming daddy or mommy,
Sorry my child,a comforting hug,
Soothing the pain,with parents love,
They ruffled your hair a pat on the back,
Got it dressed and then a snack,
Now smile or laugh at the thought,
How sad things of the past,now makes us laugh.....

In a recent news story, in Pennsylvania, five motorcyclists died and one was critically injured after the three motorcycles they were riding struck a van. Officers said this was the worst accident they had seen in 20 years. In another story, in Arizona, a garbage truck driver who was high on meth crashed into several motorcyclists and three of them died at the scene. One motorcyclist died a day later.
On a message board for motorcyclists, one man shared that he was hit by a Subaru after it crashed right into him. He flew through the car's windshield and sustained three cracked ribs, a concussion, massive bruising and multiple lacerations and abrasions. His bike was also run over by a van.
Because motorcycles are built with much less protection than motor vehicles, they are more dangerous on the road. The reality is that motorcycles are less stable and much less visible. One rider shared these thoughts, "When I was commuting daily on my bike, I got cut off about 4-5 times a day, people don't pay attention and they don't give a **** about you on the road." Some statistics say motorcyclists are 32 times more likely to die and six times more likely to suffer injuries in a crash compared to the occupants of a passenger vehicle.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2001 and 2008, more than 34,000 motorcyclists were killed and an estimated 1,222,000 persons were treated in a U.S. emergency room for motorcycle-related injuries. Most of the time, a motorcycle accident occurs because of the carelessness of a motor vehicle operator or because of the negligence of another third party (a manufacturer, the city, etc.)
One father filed a $7 million lawsuit against the driver of a car after that driver crashed into his motorcycle-riding son and killed him. The driver had failed to yield and this was the preliminary contributing factor behind the accident. The lawsuit claimed $5 million in compensatory damages and $2 million in punitive damages.
A settlement was recently achieved for a couple who was riding their motorcycle when a rear tire deflated "suddenly and without warning." The motorcycle then flipped over and ejected both passengers. The lawsuit alleged that a defect in the tire was to blame for the sudden deflation and subsequent crash.
The mother of a motorcyclist who died in an accident this year, sued the city of Chicago claiming that the city was negligent in its placement of a traffic-control device. According to the lawsuit, a sign that was erected to warn motorists of up-ahead construction work did not provide adequate notice.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident where another party was at fault, you should file a lawsuit and seek damages to cover medical bills, property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering. After an accident, important steps you should take to improve your chances of successfully reaching a settlement include: take pictures of the scene, get written reports from witnesses as well as their contact information, get copies of your medical bills, and set aside any evidence that shows you had to take work off because of your injuries and how much money you lost because of this.
If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to hire a personal injury attorney on your side so that you can focus on healing and he/she can focus on fighting for the compensation you deserve. Don't go up against a big insurance company alone and ill-prepared.

Ford Motor (F) is hitting the emergency brake for 100,600 sedans and SUVs in North America and recalling the vehicles to fix several safety issues.
For about 92,000 of the vehicles — which include 2013 and 2014 models of its Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS and Lincoln MKT, as well as 2012-14 Edge and 2014 Lincoln MKX SUV — Ford says there is a potential problem on the cars' front axle's right-hand halfshaft. If the halfshaft shifts out of place from improper installment, Ford says there could be unexpected vehicle movement.
An additional 2,100 Ford Escape models will be looked at for faulty panoramic glass roofs, and about 200 Ford Fiesta models will get fuel-tank leaks repaired. No injuries or accidents have been attributed to the recalled vehicles.
In late June, the second-largest carmaker's top-selling F-150 was recalled for a power-steering issue. More than 5,600 trucks assembled May 26 through June 19 were affected, although only 260 of those models left dealerships with buyers.
Ford's defect total pales in comparison with General Motors' (GM) tally of nearly 30 million cars recalled this year for various problems.
Despite the string of recalls, the auto industry's sales hit an annualized pace of 16.98 million vehicles in June, an eight-year high.
GM led the industry in June sales with about 270,000 vehicles sold, according to reports. That's a 1% increase from June 2013. Ford was No. 2, with sales of more than 220,000 vehicles, down almost 6% from June '13.
Ford's market share through the first half of the year declined 6%, to 15.5% from 16.5%, and sales decreased 1.9% during the same time period. GM's market share decreased just 1.7%, to 17.8% from 18.1%, while sales increased 2.5%.
Ford shares fell 1% to 17.15 in the stock market today, but are up 12.2% this year.
While GM's North American sales have been seemingly unaffected, its Asian sales face pressure from a South Korean plant strike. Shares fell slightly but are down 8.6% year to date.

A Baby Changes Your Life - And Your Sleep
My wife, Noelle, gave birth to our first child last year, a son, who we named John. While it's a bit cliché to say, the truth is that having John in our lives has been the best thing that's ever happened to either of us. Children can add a sense of purpose and joy that a couple never knew existed before. But along with that bundle of joy come a bundle of new experiences that aren't always easy to deal with.
When a woman is pregnant, she's constantly reminded to cherish her sleeping hours while she can. Once the baby arrives, as other moms warn, shut-eye is going to be hard to come by. Noelle was told of what seemed like endurance experiments involving no sleep combined with non-stop feeding, diaper changes, constant laundry and hosting visits from well-meaning friends and relatives.
As much as this advice makes sense at the time, it doesn't really sink in until after the child is actually born...
In the beginning, John, like most babies, slept almost all the time and there was no real schedule to his days and nights. For parents, this stage can be great, because a baby's unexpected snooze can be a welcome chance for a parent to take a quick catnap. However, at least for adults, naps preclude the ability to get to the restorative, rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep stage, and that can have serious consequences.
In this Harvard Business Review article about the importance of sleep, one quote really resonates with me: "When your brain is starved of REM sleep, concentrating on a single activity is challenging. Multitasking -- an inescapable bane of managerial work -- becomes exponentially more so."
For a mother of a new baby, multitasking is paramount. Yet, in some kind of cruel twist, a dramatic drop in REM sleep makes new parents woefully bad at doing just that.
How does a sleep-deprived parent resolve this inexplicable paradox?
Well, at least for the first three months, you don't. You drink coffee, rest when you can, and trust that this, too, shall pass. Once your baby is sleeping for longer stretches at a time, so will you.
But here are some tips to make those first few weeks and months a bit more pleasant:
• Safety first. Make sure your baby has a safe sleeping environment. That means no large toys in the crib or bassinette, well-secured clothing and being put to sleep on his or her back.
• Be in the black. Blackout shades can help darken the brightest room and signal to your baby that it's nap time.
• Read 'em and don't weep. There are loads of books and online resources about babies and sleep. Page through a few of them to get an idea of what tactics might work for you. But don't feel you have to follow the advice of any one expert.
• Call in the professionals. If you're at the end of your rope, consider hiring a sleep consultant who can come to your home and ensure that you and your baby are giving yourselves the best chance possible for good sleep.
While it's important to help babies get all the sleep they need, adults need to take care of themselves, too.
After a few months, when your baby is (hopefully) sleeping for a few hours at a time, you can experiment with the techniques below to increase their nighttime sleeping and get on some semblance of a daytime nap schedule.
• Consistency is key. Most sleep experts agree that babies are creatures of habit, so putting a baby to bed at the same time and in the same place every day will help foster healthy sleep habits.
• Crying it out. Parents are divided on whether or not to let their little ones cry it out when they're put to bed. But a new study out of Australia found that crying can help babies learn to self soothe and improve both the parents' and the baby's sleep.
• Relax. If your baby misses a nap or sleeps all afternoon or if you just can't resist the urge to pick up your tearful, weary wee one, don't worry. Take a deep breath and try to be flexible. Depending on growth spurts, moods and other variables, your baby will need more or less sleep at different times of his or her development. That means your sleeping hours will vary, too.
While it's important to help babies get all the sleep they need, adults need to take care of themselves, too. For their own health and wellness, parents (especially moms) need to sleep when they can. If that means skipping a social outing or leaving the laundry until tomorrow, so be it. If your baby will take a bottle, feeding duties can be shared and one parent can go to bed early while the other takes the late shift. Even better - send one parent to the guestroom or a friend or relative's house for a restorative overnight sleep. Getting eight or nine hours of shut eye can do wonders for everyone.
I'm happy to report that John is now nine months old, sleeping through the night and napping twice a day. Noelle and I are feeling almost human again.

Why is my baby's skin falling off??!! It's okay, it's standard procedure. Within a few days of being born, many babies – particularly those who were overdue – start to flake and peel a little bit. You may find it most noticeable on their hands and feet, but it can be all over. You don't have to do anything, just let nature take its course – there's a whole gorgeous new layer underneath. If you want to, you could rub your baby's skin with a little olive oil, which will soften the dry patches and improve their appearance.
The volume level in your household is not going to return to normal for a very, very long time. Babies cry – a lot. While crying is designed to flood your body with adrenaline, and prompt you to address your baby's every need, remember that your little one is not always particularly upset when they cry, it's just their way of communicating what they require. If your baby cries persistently, especially in the early evening, they might have colic. As hellish as it will feel for a while, even with colic, your baby isn't going to suffer any long term harm, and this too shall pass.
Gosh, how best to describe those moans, groans and grunts? For some reason, newborns can make exceedingly strange noises while they sleep – noises which might have you thinking your baby has been swapped for a woodland creature. I can't tell you why they do it (perhaps they're just dreaming of finding their voice!), but I can tell you many, many babies do.
In newborns, having blue-ish hands and feet is quite common. It's called acrocyanosis and it's down to your baby's immature circulatory system. In some infants, the blueness will go after a day or two, in others it can last a bit longer, and might be prominent when it's chilly. They'll be pink all over soon enough – but if you ever notice blue hues on the face or around the lips, that's when to seek help.
If no-one warned you about your baby's first few poos, they might come as a bit of a shock. Very dark green/almost black, enormous and sticky – it might take several goes with a wet cotton wool ball to remove that gunk from their bottom! What your baby is actually passing is meconium – it's a mixture of mucus and amniotic fluid which they swallowed whilst in your womb. Don't be alarmed, it's a sign that your baby's bowels are working properly – and pretty soon all will settle down.
Some babies poo every time they feed, while others go for days without so much as a windypop. And it can change week by week. However often they're going though, almost every scenario is 'normal'. The contents of your baby's nappy will vary wildly, too, from grainy to mucus-y, from green to yellow. But as long as they're passing their poo with ease, they're fine.
Yes, you probably already knew about the fontanelle before you had a baby, but now there it is, and isn't it odd? Can you touch it? Should you worry if someone else touches it? Won't they be poking your baby's brain?! Don't fret. Yes there is a gap in your baby's skull, which is a bit more fragile than the bony bits. But actually, your baby's brain is very well protected, by several layers of tough tissue and membranes. It'll close up between seven and 12 months.
If your baby seems to be sick literally every time they have a feed, it's natural you should worry whether they're being nourished at all. But many newborns do this – the valve which keeps the milk in their tummy takes a while to get really strong, and so they're prone to regurgitating milk, especially when they're nice and full. Take heart, if they're gaining weight, all is good.
Have you spent a couple of hours watching them sleep yet? Most parents do, and it can make them worry even more! Tiny babies seemingly have pretty irregular breathing patterns, especially when they sleep. Actually, they're varying between quick, deep breaths, and short, shallow ones. And sometimes (CRIPES!) your baby might not actually take a breath for up to 10 seconds. It can scare the hell out of you, but it's what babies do.
In the first few weeks, lots of babies have a break out. It might be down to Mum's hormones still circulating around their little body, or could just be down to the sebaceous glands in their skin settling down. Little white spots, called milia, can appear on the cheeks, forehead and chin, and this might develop into baby acne, where the spots turn red and look somewhat angrier. You don't need to do anything at all. Cleanse with water (definitely not with Clearasil!) and it'll usually have gone by the time your baby is six weeks old.

Fairfax has managed a 5% increase in net profit to $125m, but its Australian mastheads are still struggling. Profits from the Australian publishing division dropped 3% during the half, largely because of falling classified advertising revenues at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, which continue to struggle in the face of online competition. The Sydney Morning Herald was also hampered by the weak NSW economy. This was offset by good performances from Fairfax Digital and Fairfax New Zealand. Fairfax Digital increased earnings before interest, tax, depreciation...

Grant was named as one of our 2013 Quarter 4 MVPs and was chosen again in 2014 as one of the Quarter 2 MVPs. One of Grant's biggest accomplishments in Q2 was figuring out a new method for creating videos that we use for our marketing and client training efforts. We're excited to see what's next from Grant and look forward to supporting him in his new role!
Congratulations Grant!
