Madame and One Advance
Mage's Town was silent.
Although it was still but early evening, with the setting sun still staining the darkening sky with reds and oranges to promise a warm, clear day tomorrow, there was no-one about. Where the streets should have been filled with people going home, or to the boisterous conviviality of the Pig and Bee for those who felt their homes to be a cold berth that night, they were deserted; save, of course, for figures garbed in scarlet cloaks.
The Scarlet Guard had imposed a curfew. They were taking no chances, after so many of the students had escaped from their attempted clearance of the Mage's School. Even the circus, camped outside the town's walls, had come under the Prince's guard's authority; as much as they may protest, they were kept exactly where they were, banned from packing up and continuing their travels. No-one could travel; the Scarlets had blocked the only road.
Some of the town's residents, disliking the restrictions, had packed up and fled to the outskirts of the forest, which was and would always be under the command of no-one; most, however, preferred to stay and sit it out, trusting that it would go no further. The forest, the subject of many a tale to frighten the children, seemed to be the greater evil.
At the edge of the trees, two figures crouched in the undergrowth and observed the silent little town. It had taken them several days to reach this point, and those days had been occupied by a great deal of thinking on the part of one of the figures.
"All right, I'll do it," said Mecho, at last. "If you think we can get away with it."
His voice was much improved, no longer a painful rasp; but it remained quiet and husky, and probably always would. While not enough to kill him, his botched execution had certainly done some damage to his throat.
Madame da Silva bestowed upon him a smile that made his heart turn a somersault. The smiles that she infrequently indulged in had, although he would not like to admit it, played a large part in his decision.
"Thank you, Mecho," she murmured. "I am glad you decided to help."
Mecho cleared his throat awkwardly, wincing as some residual soreness caught at him, and looked down at his mud-spattered sandals and leggings.
"Well, as y'said, they tried to kill me and you saved me..."
Her eyes betrayed a flicker of amusement. "Correct. Remember what I asked you to do?"
Mecho nodded, and looked down again at his uniform. It showed many a sign of their journey through the forest, but was still largely intact.
So he took a handful of his cloak and gave it a few extra gaping tears, then got to his feet. Madame da Silva reached up and took his hand, giving it a light squeeze that made him swallow.
"I know you can do it," she said. "Go."
Bouyed by her quiet confidence, Mecho lifted his chin and started down the slope to the town.
Halfway down, a rabbit skittered past him, white bobtail flashing in the gathering gloom. He paid it no heed, beyond a muttered curse for startling him.
To say the Scarlets guarding the gate into town were surprised to see him was quite an understatement. He staggered up to their post, looking for all the world like someone who had been pursued through the forest by all the hounds of Hell. They stared at him as though they had seen a ghost, their faces pale in the darkness.
"...Mecho?" ventured one, a man he vaguely remembered from training. "I thought y'were with Prince Berengar's troop?"
"Aye," rasped Mecho, leaning against the wall as though bone-weary. "I was...not any more..."
He dragged a tattered and dirty sleeve across his face, wiping away sweat that was more to do with sick nervousness than anything else. He saw the others' faces fill with trepidation, and wondered what they thought had gone wrong.
"Why not?" asked the man he knew vaguely. Mecho let out a sigh.
"The witch," he said, pitching his ruined voice low and regretful and darting an anxious glance over his shoulder. "She attacked us...she took the Prince, she hunted us Guards down and killed us...I don't know if anyone else survived...I just ran..."
He slumped as he spoke, and the other Guards crowded round, offering supporting arms and nips of whisky from flasks hidden under their cloaks to ward off the night's chill. And, still questioning him urgently about what had happened, and where the Prince now was, and the whereabouts of the witch-woman, they ushered him through the gates of the town and bore him off to their Commander, in his office in what had been the Mage's School.

Rebel YellMature
Erinye hit the soft green lawn and took off running. Once her feet felt the solid ground take shape beneathe her feet she could move quickly. Her pale frame ducking neatly into a back alley to redress, cursing softly as she realized she had left her tank top behind.
Making due with the baggy pants her street shoes and a simple black bra Erinye began to make her way back to the warehouse. Around every corner she felt invisible eyes watching her every move. Scanning her, watching her, breathing her in. Cautiously Erinye sniffed the air. Something felt very wrong. Something very wrong was watching Erinye. Even her beast was on edge as if it was backed into a corner.
She arrived at the warehouse as her own senses screaming to run from her home. This was a sensation unfamiliar to Erinye as she cautiously walked inside. Her feral body already beginning to shift from girl to wolf. If someone was hiding in her home. They were going to be very very sorry. As she walked into the main floor a new scent greeted her. Almost a mixture of mint and musk, as this scent wafted around her Erinye finally began to feel a feeling she had not felt in a long time.
Erinye noticed the man sitting on a box across the warehouse. Cautiously approaching the man she was very careful to take in the details. He appeared to be quite old, mid to late forties. Long grey hair, a full beard and dressed in what seemed to be a beaten leather duster. He had a heavy metal sheathe leaning against the wall. The blade was nearly the size of tha man. He slowly got to his feet as he surveyed Erinye. She silently wished she could melt back into the shadows.The old man finally spoke, his voice gravelly. However Erinye could feel there was a very large threat coming from this man. "So, your the pipsqueak causing trouble. Didn't your sire teach you what all that killings gonna do girlie? It's gonna bring our kind into the light." He slowly began walking towards Erinye as he balanced the blade on his shoulder.
Taking a cautious step backwards Erinye growled as her beast decided reasoning was not going to get very far. Her body was already partially shifted as she responded. "She taught me to make those who prey on innocent lives suffer," she attempted to lunge at the old man. He laughed as he swung the sheath towards her like an oversized baseball bat. The flat of the blade connected across her skull. Erinye felt her body slam against a series of conveyer belts. Her jaw was broken? How could it be that simple for him? The old man began to step towards her as his body gave into the shift. Erinye slowly got to her feet as she tried to leap over the conveyer. With elevation she may have a chance.
She felt a steely claw latch onto her foot and slam her into the ground. She gasped for air as she felt a rib or two snap, this fight was not going well. She finally stared down the elder as the realization kicked in. He was just like her. A werewolf, a fucking werewolf. He cleared a massive seven if not eight feet compared to her meagre five and a half. Crawling away she felt him grab her by the tail and bring another fist down on the back of her head.
Colors exploded in her eyes as she felt her body being rolled over. The werewolf stood victorious over her. One hind paw crushing her chest. Her lungs screamed for air as she tried clawing his leg off. The old wolf gave a hollow laugh, "i'll give you credit pup, nobody can say Ciarin never gave credit when it's due." The werewolf drew his massive six foot blade from it's sheath. With a simple thrust he pierced Erinye's shoulder. She howled in a mixture of pain and fury as her body began to shift back to human form. He finished his statement as he gave the blade a subtle twist. "You have one week, get out of my city before I run you through. I have half a mind to take you for myself."
Erinye sputtered a respond mixed with her spittle and blood as he pulled his blade free of her shoulder. The old wolf merely laughed as he strode off into the darkness. Erinye laid there for what seemed like hours. She needed help, but her mind seemed vacant for who she can call. Weakly drawing her cell out and praying she remembered to pay for minutes. She dialed Garnet's number, the phone rang for a moment before a familiar voice echoed out.
"Hello...?" Erinye breathed a sigh of relief. The number left for her at the playground was right.
"It's me...help," Erinye could feel her body getting slower. The beast limping back to the shadows. She was beaten and all she needed right now. Was to smell that sweet cinnamon scent.

Three sector day!
... a little compromised. However, that was an hour ago and it looked as if it would be clear by the time of our arrival.
And so it was! There was more to see on this sector: we were following the I-70 to Salina, the large Witton reservoir on our left, more patches of red earth, more in the way of low hills and gullies, a large wind farm stretching for miles on the ridges; green fields of much larger proportions, the Solomon ...
The Yellow Brick Road Across Kansas
... soon disappointed when he saw us up close! He did unlock the door and let us go inside the beautiful building. We were impressed with the inside and we got to see the organ which was a 1978 Schantz. Since Newberry College and Redeemer Lutheran Church in Newberry both have Schantz organs we were excited to see this one. We didn't get to play it but just seeing it was fun. The Church was completed in 1917 and later the inside burned. The rebuild was completed ...
Nothing but Cornfields
... things we were interested in seeing in middle America and we were just anxious to get home. So since I have a lack of things to describe in terms of sightseeing, I'll use this as an opportunity to share with you our road trip secret of success. You may be wondering how we go for such long stretches in the car with two kids, no DVD player and not all want to strangle each other. Our secret is simply audio books.

Petunia Dursley walked into the day care on Sunday like she did every Sunday, picking up her darling grandson. At four, he was such a sweet little boy, always picking up his toys and putting them away when anyone asked him to. Not at all like Duddykins, Petunia reflected, smiling.
The head of the day care, Mrs. Lizza, smiled at Petunia as she walked in; Petunia smiled back politely. Once, she knew, she would have just scoffed at the woman; but ever since she was forced to leave her home on Privet Drive for the safety of her nephew, she had vowed to be a better person. In truth, she regretted how awfully she had treated Harry- though she'd never tell anyone that, of course.
"Duncan's right over here, Mrs. Dursley," Mrs. Lizza led Petuina over to a corner where her grandson was playing with a small, red-haired girl. "Duncan?" Duncan looked up at his name being said, and grinned at Mrs. Lizza as she continued, "You grandmum's here to pick you up."
"Hiya, Grandmum!" Duncan smiled broadly, showing off his pearley white baby teeth.
"Hello, darling," Petunia smiled; after all of her misdoings in life, she still didn't know how she possibly deserved such a wonderful grandchild. "Ready to go?"
"Grandmum, I made a friend!" Duncan exclaimed, pointing to the red-haired girl beside him, ignoring his grandmother's question.
Petunia turned to the little girl and smiled kindly. "Hello dear, I'm Mrs. Dursley, Duncan's grandmum. What's your name?"
"I'm Lily," she said. Petunia gave a start, though it was small enough that neither of the four-year-olds noticed anything. Another redheaded Lily, Petunia thought. I should have known I'd meet another one day. Hopefully, she'll have a happier life than my sister… hopefully, she won't die so young, with a sister who hated her… Petunia forced her train of thought to stop, grimacing a tad and barely repressing a shudder; thinking about her younger sister was too painful, because words couldn't describe how much she resented being so cruel to Lily. After all, it wasn't Lily's fault that she was magical. And, Petunia had learned, magic wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Mrs. Dursley?" Lily seemed to be confused as to why Petunia wasn't saying anything. Petunia scrutinized the little girl; there was something familiar about her, something that she couldn't quite place. But there was something familiar about her, all the same. For the first time, she looked down at the toy Lily was holding; it was an obviously handmade broomstick. Petunia suppressed a chuckle.
"That's a very nice broomstick, Lily," Petunia complimented. Lily beamed. "Did your parents teach you how to make that?"
Lily nodded. "My mummy taught me how to make it. She taught my daddy, too, because he didn't know how to do arts and crafts." She giggled. "Daddy said that he'd rather play with his real broomstick, but he made one anyways! My parents don't think it's as good as mine, though," Lily nodded proudly.
"Well, your parents sound like very nice people, Lily," Petunia said. There was something about what Lily had said- about how her father would rather play with a real broomstick than a toy one- that unsettled Petunia, and brought back unwelcome memories of a time when Petunia wasn't a nice person. Turning to Duncan, she continued, "Duncan, darling, we have to go now."
Duncan pouted. "But I don't wanna go, Grandmum! I wanna stay here and play with Lily!" Petunia looked over at the little girl; she was sticking out her lower lip, her arms crossed, her eyes aiming a fierce glare (for a four-year-old, that is) at Petunia.
Petunia sighed; she was too much of a softy these days. "Okay, Duncan, we can stay five more minutes, but that's all. How would you like that?"
Her grandson and Lily instantly perked up, grinning happily. Suddenly, Duncan looked thoughtful, and then hopped on his grandmother's lap. "Story time!" he called out; Petunia chortled under her breath. "Grandmum, tell me about the Boy Under The Stairs!"
"The Boy Under The Stairs" was one of Duncan's favorite stories. Little did he know, his favorite Boy was really his cousin Harry, and little did he know, the Boy and his wicked Aunt and Uncle didn't really have a happy ending in real life. But Petunia still told him the story every time he asked, because it was, indeed, quite a good story.
"Well," Petunia began, "Once, there was a Boy, who lived in a cupboard under the stairs. His evil Aunt and Uncle raised him, because the Boy's parents had died when he was very young. Aunt and Uncle didn't treat the Boy very well at all, because they were afraid of him."
"Why were they afraid of him, Grandmum?" Duncan asked, right on cue. Lily's ears were perked up now as well, listening intently.
"Aunt and Uncle were afraid of the Boy because he could do magic, and they couldn't," Petunia replied. "They thought magic was a bad thing, and didn't tell the Boy about it, so he couldn't try and use it against them. They thought that if they kept the Boy in the cupboard under the stairs, and didn't tell him about magic, then he wouldn't grow up to be magical." Here goes what I wish could have happened, Petunia thought sullenly. "But then, one day, when Aunt was playing with her son, the Boy's Cousin, Cousin hurt his knee, and the Boy came out to see why Cousin was crying."
"The Boy saw his Cousin crying, and was very sad, because he didn't like to see people crying. Suddenly, Cousin's knee didn't hurt anymore, and it looked as if nothing had happened to it!" Petunia told her story, completely lying now, but excited by the looks on Duncan's face. Lily's face, however, confused her; the girl was frowning, looking slightly befuddled.
"How, Grandmum?" Duncan asked, on cue once again.
"The Boy fixed it by magic," Petunia said. "And that day, Aunt and Uncle told the Boy about his magic, and, when he was old enough, sent him off to a magic school. Aunt and Uncle treated the Boy as their own son from then on, and the Boy became good friends with Cousin, too. And they all lived happily ever after," she finished. Duncan clapped accordingly; Lily, however, was still frowning.
"Is something wrong, Lily?" Petunia asked, concerned. Did I tell the story badly? She thought worriedly.
"You got the story all wrong, Mrs. Dursley," Lily replied, looking thoughtful.
"Oh, really?" Petunia asked, bemused. She must be thinking of something else- four year olds these days, she laughed internally. "And how does he story really go, Lily?"
"The Boy never does anything for the Cousin," Lily proclaimed, squinting in concentration. "Aunt and Uncle never treat him like their own son, either. They only tell him he's magical when Hagrid the Half-Giant finds them, and tells the Boy about it. And the Boy goes off to school but Aunt and Uncle are never very nice to him, and then the Boy leaves one day, and he never sees his Aunt and Uncle ever again. Then he makes his own happily-ever-after!" Lily ended her version of the story, smiling, pleased with herself.
Petunia was shocked, to say the least. How had this little girl known the actual story, word-for-word? "How do you know that story, Lily?" she asked, in a little more than a whisper. Duncan was silent, still on his grandmother's lap, and listening to her conversation with his new friend, fascinated like only four-year-olds can be.
"My daddy tells me and my brothers, Albus and James, that story. Only, he calls it the Boy in the Cupboard!" Lily replied.
Petunia was speechless. This little girl- Lily- had two older brothers named James and Albus?! It was too much of a coincidence- but could it be? She had to check, just to make sure. "Lily, what's your last name?"
"Potter. Lily Potter," Lily said proudly. Petunia put a hand to her heart and took a few deep breaths, determined not to have a heart attack. Her grandson's new friend was her great-niece- no wonder she had seemed so familiar! And, not only that, but that meant that her nephew had defeated Voldy-whatever-his-name-is, gotten married, and started a family! It was too much for Petunia to comprehend at once.
"Mrs. Dursley?" Lily's voice drew Petunia out of her thoughts. "Why did you say the wrong ending?"
"Because I wish that's what would have happened," Petunia replied with the truth, before she could stop herself. "I wish that Aunt and Uncle and Cousin had been nicer to the Boy, and treated him as one of their own family."
Lily nodded understandingly. "My daddy wishes that, too. But he said Aunt and Uncle would never do that, because they hated him."
Petunia shook her head. "No, Lily, they didn't hate him. They thought they did, and they acted like they did, but they didn't. They were just scared of him, because he was different. But Aunt and Uncle and Cousin regret being so mean to the Boy, because being different isn't always a bad thing- it's a good thing sometimes. They didn't realize that until the Boy was gone, though." Lily's full attention was on Petunia, looking about as thoughtful as a toddler can look. Seeing that her grand-niece (her grand-niece!) wasn't planning on saying anything more, Petunia looked down at Duncan, who had been silent and listening throughout the whole conversation, and said firmly, "It's been five minutes, Duncan; let's say goodbye to Lily."
Duncan frowned, but nodded; he knew to behave when his grandmother got that tone of voice. "Bye-bye, Lily," he waved sadly, turning to his friend.
"Bye-bye, Duncan," Lily responded, her big chocolate doe eyes shining with sadness. "Bye-bye, Mrs. Dursley," she added as an afterthought, looking up at the older woman.
"Goodbye, Lily," Petunia smiled kindly, scooping up her grandson and standing up. "You two can play together again tomorrow," she assured the children, who instantly brightened. With that, she left the day care with her grandson in her arms.
"Daddy!" Lily exclaimed upon seeing her father, jumping up and begging, "Up! Up! Up!" Harry sighed, resignedly; his Auror work had tired him out today, but how could he refuse his little girl?
"Hello, Lily," Harry said, picking up his daughter, who was squealing in delight. "How was day care today?"
"It was fun, Daddy!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I made a new friend!"
"Really? What's your new friend's name?" Harry asked, still just standing there, holding his daughter.
"Duncan!" Lily said. "And Daddy, I met his grandmum, too!"
"And was she nice?" Harry asked. He hope the answer would be yes; otherwise, he'd have to track the woman down…
Lily nodded. "She even told us a story! And guess what, Daddy?"
"What, Lily?"
"It was the Boy in the Cupboard story!" Lily exclaimed, bouncing in Harry's arms. He gave a start; how had someone besides him known his life story? Unless… no. No, it couldn't have been.
"And did she tell it as good as me?" He asked, tickling Lily, who laughed loudly, a joyous, innocent tinkling sound.
"No," Lily said through laughs. Seeing that his daughter wanted to talk more, Harry stopped tickling her, and she continued, panting a bit, when he did this. "But she had a different ending, Daddy! A happy one! She said she changed the ending because she wishes Aunt and Uncle and Cousin had been nicer to the Boy."
"What else did she say?" Harry asked, curious and confused.
Lily thought for a moment, then spoke, "She said that Aunt and Uncle didn't really hate the Boy, that they were just scared of him, 'cause he was different. But then she said that different isn't always a bad thing, that it's a good thing sometimes, too!" She finished, looking very proud of herself for remembering so much.
Harry thought about this for a moment, and then inquired, "What was your friend's grandmother's name, Lily?"
"Mrs. Dursley," Lily replied.
Harry was in shock, to say the least. If Petunia was a grandmother, then that meant Dudley had a kid! And Dudley's kid- Dudley's kid!- was friend with his daughter! And Petunia regretted- actually regretted- being so mean to Harry? After a few minutes of a startled silence, Lily pulled on her father's shirt sleeve and prodded worriedly, "Daddy? Daddy? You okay, Daddy?"
Lily's voice broke Harry out of his trance. "I'm fine, Lily. Now, let's get out of here; your mum's making pot roast tonight!"
"Yay! Pot roast!" Lily clapped, delighted at the prospect of her favorite meal, all thoughts of Mrs. Dursley and the story out of her mind.
As Harry walked out of the day care with his daughter, he smiled. So she's not evil after all, he chortled in his head. Then, he added under his breath, "I guess the story of the Boy in the Cupboard has a happy ending after all."
Just a little OneShot I thought of, and just had to write down. I personally think that Petunia isn't as evil as she acts, and that she actually does have a heart. I hope you liked it! Please review!

UPDATE 3-Toronto stocks rattled by US bailout uncertainty
*TSX falls on uncertainty over U.S. bailout plan
*Worries over plan spark broad retreat
*Gold producers rally along with price of bullion
(Updates numbers, adds details, quotes)
TORONTO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index tumbled more than 2 percent in choppy action on Monday in a broad retreat on uncertainty over the effectiveness of the proposed $700 billion U.S. financial bailout plan.
The lone group to make gains was the materials sector, pushed up by gold producers as bullion prices rose on the commodity's safe-haven allure and the weaker U.S. dollar. Among gainers, Goldcorp (G.TO: Quote) was up 9.8 percent at C$37.89.
But the broader market was rattled by concerns over how much the U.S. government's plan to take over sour mortgage-related debt from financial groups will help financial markets in the long term, analysts said, as well as uncertainty over the details of the plan.
In Toronto, the financial sector was down 3.7 percent, while Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO: Quote) fell 4.8 percent to C$47.53.
"I don't know if anyone's really grasped what this means, what the implications are, (and) what the long term solutions are, if any," said Adrian Mastracci, portfolio manager and president at KCM Wealth Management Inc, in Vancouver. Continued...

A genealogist for 45 years, Frazin has done extensive research on all the branches of her family. She has written a book about two of her family branches that has been distributed to family members and she served as president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois for 10 years.

Leo, Paraplegic Dog From Thailand, Finds New Home In Canada (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
Meagan Penman was vacationing in Thailand months ago when she came upon a dog that could only use its front legs to walk.
The dog, which she later named Leo, was malnourished, covered in ticks and dragging himself along, apparently unable to move his hind legs, according to a YouCaring page.
Taking pity on the canine, she contacted a number of rescue shelters in the area but none could take him.
So Penman set up a GoFundMe page on June 21 in an effort to bring Leo back home to Canada, where he could obtain the "vet care he needs."
She also set up a Facebook page to update people on her efforts.
On July 3, after travelling elsewhere, she reunited with the dog on a beach and carried him to a veterinarian. A Facebook post indicated that his knees had been skinned from crawling around.
X-rays showed that his back was broken, and that he would "never walk again."
Leo remained in the veterinarian's care for three months as Penman sought out a family to sponsor him in Canada before he could be adopted.
In the meantime, donations poured in for the dog as people heard about his story.
After a number of delays, Leo flew to Canada and back into Penman's care in October.
He was later fostered out to Jamie Smith, a Sarnia, Ont. resident who helped him obtain a "doggie wheelchair" so that he could walk again.
Smith also set up a second fundraising page for Leo at YouCaring.com to help pay for long-term veterinary costs.
So much money poured into the fundraising pages that they were shut down, having topped their goals.
Penman said the money would go into a "trust fund" for the dog to pay for anything he needed.
As for Leo's future, she said that he's "pretty much set for the rest of his days."

The next day
Subhadra and Devaki left at dawn with the Yadava retinue. Yashoda continued to care for Jayanthi and Sthambha. Abhaya was enthusiastic to care for the infant and remained with Jayanthi the whole morning. Yashoda and Radha refused to let her help them out in chores. When Sthambha went to sleep, the activity of churning butter fascinated Abhaya the most. She stood watching Radha as the latter went about churning. Radha's hands moved back and forth in a perfect rhythm and the many bangles she wore produced a sweet clanging sound.
Did you see him, the dark hued one
Did you see him, the Lotus eyed one
The one from whom the grace and beauty flow
The one on whom the plumes of peacock glow
Smile bewitching, never leaves his face
To his call of flute, our hearts race
O thick and dark bushes of Vrindavan, Speak well
Is that one hiding among you? Do tell
Hearing the notes and words, Abhaya's thoughts drifted to her own memories of Krishna Vaasudeva. His presence at Anagha had filled her with limitless hope in the trying times. His words could soothe her anxiety making it disappear like the fog at sunrise. How could she not fall for him? But he had refused her hand. Abhaya convinced herself that Vaasudeva must have had strong reasons for doing so. What could be the reason? It was unfair to accuse him of marrying princesses of vast kingdoms or only his own cousins. But what were they capable of that she was not? Did he see for those capabilities only? Whatever made him refuse her hand, she had to know of it.
Radha's words induced a new gleam of hope in her mind. Vaasudeva's advice to her father to send her to Indraprastha meant something. She hoped hard that she meant something to him as Radha told her. She had to now find that purpose which would make her path cross with his. Then what was his purpose? Which other purpose would bring her closer to him?
She remembered Vaasudeva's words when she accompanied him to the temple of Anagheshwari. He spoke of Arya Dharma. He spoke of it as a circle of universal well being. Abhaya looked at Radha who was still churning, lost in her own world. She was full of him who she called as Kanha. Smile never left her lips as her hands continued to move back and forth. She was the one he loved. The Vaasudeva who had embraced Vajrabahu like his own close kin, the vaasudeva who took all interest in the well being of Anagha those ten days, the one whose presence enveloped Abhaya and the rest with optimism had certainly stolen her heart like he stole the hearts of those in Vrindavan.
This Radha was the one who was loved by such a man in his younger years. Abhaya tried to fathom the intensity of his love. It should have been the love which transcends all levels of human thought and understanding. But he had to part with Radha. He had to part with his love for that circle of universal well being which he called Arya Dharma. Abhaya's thoughts were temporarily interrupted as a wave of butter suddenly came up the pot which Radha was churning.
"So much, all at a time?" Abhaya gasped.
"Well all at a time after an hour or more of continuous churning." Radha replied, pulling aside the rod and pressing her right hand with her left with relief.
Abhaya felt guilty of not offering to help. "Were you tired? I could have at least tried to…"
"No, princess" Radha smiled. "The sight of butter floating is a reward that makes one forget all the pain at a go. But it could be frustrating to those new to the activity. Not something to try on the very second day after an arduous travel, little sister."
Abhaya smiled back trying to fathom a deeper meaning in those words. Churning butter was not an easy task. It required one to be at the task not caring for the initial pain that appears to tear the muscles.
Radha found Abhaya's eyes twinkle with new realization.
"Elder sister, is there really nothing in which I can help?"
"Well, Father would return tomorrow. You might help him with the accounts of butter and yoghurt sold at Indraprastha. You help your father in the same at your place right? This should be a child's play for you."
"So for the whole of today, would you pamper me endlessly, elder sister?" Abhaya remarked.
Their attention was shifted as footsteps with faint tinkle of anklets hurried towards the door.
"Aunt Radha! Come with us to the Yamuna!" Two twelve year olds ran towards Radha, dressed in colorful skirts and gaudily embroidered cholis around their heads.
"Viraja and Vrinda, meet our guest, the princess of Anagha."
"Princess!!!", the girls exclaimed eyeing at Abhaya with new found awe and curiosity. "Do we call Your Majesty or Your Ladyship?" Viraja asked. "It is Your Highness" Vrinda suggested.
"Both are wrong, you call me, elder sister." Abhaya spoke, quite drawn to their innocent smiles and eyes wide with enthusiasm. She drew them closer to herself involuntarily. Vrindavan was extremely endearing to her. People opened their hearts and warmed to her.
"Both of you girls, you should go to Yamuna by yourself today. Your Aunt has a lot of work." Radha gently told them.
"We want to listen to your flute!" Vrinda protested.
"Now be a good girl, Vrinda. Why don't you take the princess, instead? Show her around the flowery creepers in the woods. Offer worship to Goddess Ambika and return before dusk." Radha suggested.
"Your Highness, would you come with us? " Viraja asked, excited.
"What did you call me? I wont come if you call me so." Abhaya teased.
"Elder sister" the girls managed to say after some hesitation. "Would you come?"
"Good girls, lead the way." Abhaya waved at Radha to inform Jayanthi and Yashoda.

A few days after the loss, he said it is hard to find the emotions.
"We were knocked out in the first round," he said. "We had a tough loss but overall it was a good season. I was real happy with how I played especially after the injury.
"I was able to finish 100%, and now I'm getting ready for the Semper Fi all-star game coming up."
"Surprisingly, it really hasn't settled in. Part of it has to do with the fact that I know I'll be playing Division One football, so I think it would be a different feeling if I didn't have that in front of me. I feel like its just a step to the NFL, so I'm happy to be moving on though I'll certainly miss it and my teammates."
Calloway now has the great honor of being selected to the Semper Fi all-star game, one of three that are held post-season.
"Its a huge honor for me," he said. "Growing up that was my dream. Every year I watched it and wanted to one day play in it. It shows I am one of the top 300 players in the country and one of the top 30 defensive backs in the country."
As he also sets his sights on playing at the next level, his decision will come down to what happens on his official visits coming up.
"I'm still where I was a few weeks ago," he said. "I have a few officials. I am going to Colorado State December 1st, and on the 7th I'm going down to Southern Miss in Hattiesburg."
He talked further about the visit with the Golden Eagles.
"I'm actually taking my visit with current commit James Cox," he said. "He hit me up this week and we've been talking a lot. He really wants me to be a part of the Golden Eagle program, so I'm excited to see the town, campus, and facilities. I've never been to campus so I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone there.
"I've said I'm not making a decision until I see all the schools in person, so that is a huge visit for me."

Chapter VI (Part Six): Kai - Ripples on the Surface ☵
Kai had never felt this way in his life. The water surged through his veins, as equally as the blood as he felt a calm but heart-pounding thrill settle into him. It took him to a whole new level of feeling powerful. He'd always been looked down upon by his family but he felt sky-high, almost omnipotent if he dared to say.
When he made his way to the building, he felt reluctant to step out of the precipitation that welcomed him and into the dreary atmosphere of an examination hall. But even though something inside him, something beautiful had been unleashed, his practical human side took over for that decision.
Sighing, he pushed his way through the glass doors and entered the building. People inside paused to stare at him, shock flooding across their faces. It's not raining outside - it's beating swords from the sky. How could he possibly be drenched?
Kai smiled to himself as he walked through the crowd and towards the room where his exam was to be held. They wouldn't get it, they lived by the rules and boundaries they'd set up.
But Kai knew what he'd experienced wasn't impossible - in fact, a lot of things didn't seem to be anymore. His life had changed, possibly for the better. He could sense it.

The male organ is an important part of every man's life, and the condition of the male organ and its ability to perform plays a big role in a man's self-confidence and overall sense of well-being. The male organ is more than just a sign of virility, though. In many cases, problems with the male organ can be an early indicator of underlying conditions that may affect a man's reproductive health. Knowing the signs to watch for and caring for the male organ properly can help to prevent lasting effects from common male organ issues. Three frequently-seen male organ symptoms that may require treatment to prevent ongoing problems are described here.
Bending or curving when excited
Some degree of curvature in a firm male organ is normal; in fact, most men do not have a perfectly straight male organ when firm. However, when the male organ has a pronounced bend or curve during excitement can indicate the presence of scarring around the internal supporting tissue. This scar tissue, which can often be felt as a bump under the skin on the shaft of the male organ, generally develops after an injury, although it may form in men who have not experienced any trauma to the male organ.
This scarring can eventually lead to a severe curvature of the firm male organ – a condition known as Peyronie's disease - and may limit the ability to engage in intimacy. Loss of function may be the end result. The usual treatment for this problem is surgery. Supporting male organ health and promoting the development of healthy connective tissue with nutrient formulas containing vitamin C may reduce the risk of developing Peyronie's disease
Frequent infections
Occasional minor skin infections are not uncommon, and most men will encounter conditions such as fungal infections from time to time. On the other hand, men who experience frequent infections may have an underlying health problem that affects their ability to fight off common problems such as yeast infection, jock itch and other uncomfortable skin issues. Frequent infections can be symptomatic of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Men who are prone to infection and other skin problems of the male organ are advised to seek medical evaluation to rule out any more serious health conditions. In addition, caring for the male organ skin with immune-boosting vitamins and minerals and maintaining the external integrity of the dermal tissue through adequate moisturizing can help keep fungal and bacterial invaders at bay.
Difficulty achieving or maintaining a firm member
Reproductive malfunction is a complicated problem with many contributing factors. Inability to achieve a firm member or maintain it long enough to reach release can be related to cardiovascular issues, nerve damage, or even emotional problems such as stress and anxiety. Because ED can indicate a more serious problem, men who have ongoing issues in the bedroom should seek medical attention to determine whether there is an underlying health condition. In the meantime, adequate nourishment of the male organ skin may promote healthy circulation and help to repair peripheral nerve damage – which is often the result of normal partner activity – and maintain the responsiveness of the manhood nerve tissue.
Supporting male organ health
In order to keep the male organ healthy and reduce the risk of ongoing health problems, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition, regular exercise, and routine health checks are at the root of a healthy male organ. In addition, a male organ health formula (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) containing male organ-specific nutrients such as vitamins A, B5, C, and D, as well as all-natural emollients and the amino acids needed for cellular repair, may contribute to manhood health in general and help to prevent some of the common issues that may affect the male organ.

Nice Post! looking forward to this summer also! We got a ton of snow this year.
Great list! LIFEGUARD is a film nobody talks about as much as they should. I am big fan.
Thanks Ty & RP!

About Capellini Edit
Capellini, (literally "thin hair") is a very thin variety of Italian pasta. Like spaghetti, it is rod-shaped, in the form of long strands, and thinner than vermicelli. Because they are so fine, capelli d'angelo must be served either in a very light sauce or in a simple broth.

The Christmas imp sneaking around the corners.
A dark and pushing hybrid song. The orchestra, some guitars and many electronic elements provide a lot of energy. Because of that, this track is very flexible and suitable for different settings.
Hybrid sound at its best. Orchestral elements with pulsing bass lines and percussion make this track a great listening experience. Great for TV shows, trailers or commercials.
A dark orchestra with modern percussions and typical effects make this track absolute unique. Hybrid orchestral sound at its best!
Pensive, tense underscore for thriller, horror or scifi. Electronic, strange noises, high twitchy strings, occasional reverberant percussion. Lurking danger.
Classic Western style dramatic duel or showdown track. Latin, Mexican and wild west style. Shootout at the O.K. Corral! Starts ominously with low strings and sneaking chords. The track then grows to a blazing western drama with blaring Mexican trumpets and rhytmic string section.
Horror, scifi or thriller underscore featuring severely mangled guitar notes, deep thumping percussion and a disturbing drone. Like the desolate sound from the pits of hell, this is a very dark ambient track.
As a spy you are sneaking through the enemy's base camp in the jungle. Everywhere might be dangerous traps, so you better watch out carefully! A good mixture of full orchestra and electronic elements create lots of tension !!
Mysterious, pulsating underscore track with a sense of danger or impending discovery. Crime investigation, undercover spy, agent, secret mission, breaking in or exploring a crime scene etc.
A sneaky, downtempo funk track in the style of 1980s cop films like Beverly Hills Cop and many others. Synth bass, gated drums, wah-wah guitar. Suitable for scenes of investigating, stalking, sneaking around, stakeout and more.
Suspended, few notes, sneaky, resonant sounds. Dark, horror, suspense, conflict.
Eerie and dark, only sound carpets and sound collages
A sneaky, downtempo funk track in the style of 1980s cop films like Beverly Hills Cop and many others. Synth bass, gated drums, wah-wah guitar. Suitable for scenes of investigating, stalking, sneaking around, stakeout and more.
Slow-burning electric-guitar based track. Spacious and atmospheric with building ambient instrumental layers.

Suspenseful synth bass with percussion and electric piano. Thieving and sneaking around.
Playful and very bouncy, this track will bring a smile to your face. Conjures up images of sneaking around preparing everything for Christmas day. Imagine the excitement of all the children waiting for Santa Claus. Rhythmic and upbeat.
Ambient: Darker/Eerie/Mystical
Hip Hop track with a serious edge. Good for drama, thriller, mystery, action, adventure. Sneaking, stakeout and more.
A sneaky and subtly pensive background / underscore track, suitable for mystery, discovery, exploration and for history / documentary etc. This is music that you don't really 'notice' as it doesn't stand out or grab the attention. It just stays in the background and provides a creepy, uneasy, mysterious atmosphere. Has a sense of dangers lurking nearby. The track is over 6 minutes long with no repetition at all, so it can be played in a loop for a long time without getting too repetitive. Can also be used for crime / criminal police / forensic investigation, puzzle solving etc.
Slow-burning electric-guitar based track. Spacious and atmospheric with building ambient instrumental layers.
Ambient background track with an uneasy, pensive feel. Dark, ominous and threatening, this track suggests danger and death. The track could suit scenes in a graveyard or other dark place, or tense scenes where a character is sneaking around, trying to avoid being caught. Exploring at night, dangers lurking.

The Guy with the Glasses, The Girl with the Grey eyes and The Lady in BlackMature
Paint splashed all over her clothes as her palette slipped from her hand.
'How many times Knox? Stop opening my door like that!'
He ignored her frustration and dashed over to her moving masterpiece. He stood, simply absorbed, like he was watching an extraordinary film. Diesel, her faithful Alaskan husky, had woken from the front of her bed and looked up at her canvas, him too in awe.
'Whoa. You are an incredible painter little sis, seriously. What's with the war this time?'
'I have no idea,' She answered. 'but it's incredible, isn't it?'
He nodded, unable to take his eyes from it. When it finally stopped, ending with what she'd originally painted, he stood over her, placing his hands on her shoulders and glaring into her eyes.
'How's baby?' he asked. Her hand moved to her stomach.
'Baby's fine.' She answered. He smiled that familiar smile that mirrored her fathers.
'Sis...you know I love you-'
'-What do you want Knox?'
'Could you get me some fags from Macy's? Please? You know the roads better than I do, and I've got a class tomorrow.'
She sighed, picking up her ruined palette and cleaning herself up.
'Why can't you get them yourself? Or Wilfred? You're 21 years of age, we've been here for over a year and you can speak French too!'
'But Wilfred's in bed and you speak it better than I do, please please please?' He pleaded, giving her his sympathetic face.
Well, she did need some fresh air, and even though her brother was a lazy bastard she knew she would end up going for him anyway. Moving from England had confused him again, she thought. Plus he'd probably start blaming it on his epilepsy if she refused.
'Fine. But they've got to last you at least until mom comes back.'
He rejoiced, kissing her on the forehead and leaving her to dress for her journey. Gray would never know how significant that dream was.
'Hey Blake, you're supposed to be looking out for someone so we can feed, remember?'
'Yeah...I'm really hungry...what kind of an escort are you?'
Trying to guide two drunken women to a car was proving too much to handle and it was worse as he only had Zephr with him. They just kept swaying and falling, and if they even attempted to pick them up they'd scream.
'Yeah, we would...so don't bother...' Slurred Aevah.
Though Blake was regretting letting them pick him up from the airport (in a car that Patience had kindly bought him) he did offer to take them out for his comeback. He just didn't think they would get drunk so easily. Phoebe looked the worst of the two; her dress strap had fallen to her shoulders, her tights were ripped and her hair was all over the place. He'd even found long strands of dark brown hair all over his blazer, along with smudged purple lipstick and pink eyeshadow.
'Blake! Blake Blake Blake Blake!' She shouted, sounding more French than Russian.
They both burst into a fit of laughter whilst Zephr struggled to keep from falling into the road. Where was Vince when you needed him?
'No! Don't call my brother...I will muurrderr you!' Said Aevah, grabbing Blake by the throat.
'I will if you don't stop fidgeting!' He said to her, removing her hand from his throat. 'And stop reading my mind!'
'I want to feeeed!' Said Phoebes.
He sighed. Impatient as they were he too needed to feed. To their disappointment the streets were deserted, so there was little chance of anyone being alone. However to the right, a group of students were walking into the park on the other side of the road. Blake wouldn't have done this normally but in these circumstances, risks had to be taken.
'Zeph, take them to the car. I'm going to get us a meal.'
Zephr was struggling as it is with Phoebe let alone the two of them. But it had to be done.
'Are you crazy? I won't make it out alive if you leave me with both of them!'
'Just hurry. I'll meet you there. Use force if you need to just take them!'
Blake hurried on towards the park, walking from a distance against the group. 'It shouldn't take long, not if was fast' he thought. Aevah's screams rang through the night as he was about to advance on the unfortunate group, however there proved to be something else in front of his pursuit that stole his attention. A scent so uncanny swirled around him, filling his mind with pleasure and confusion as it was both luxurious and seemed untouchable at the same time. He would have had to say there and then that he'd never smelt a scent like it before. It happened to be coming from a girl, perched on a bench beside the river, smoking quietly and ignoring the loud conversations going on around her. An angel amongst the average. This chance was just too good to miss, and so Blake abandoned the students, going straight towards her.
She was getting up to leave. There was his cue. Well it would have been, except his mind had stopped in its tracks due to the unusual sight of this already intriguing girl.
She was a slim figure, incredibly attractive, quite tall, wearing a very long military coat cut in strips up to the hips; black with gold buttons to match her gold-laced skirt and heels. Her hair was awfully long and thick, falling down to her waist; the natural crimson colour of it outstanding in the street light. Her lips were full, topped off with a radiant smile. Blake's concentration was forever lost, but eventually he managed to turn on his French accent.
'What is a girl as beautiful as you doing in a park alone at this hour?'
Gray jumped, immediately turning around to see someone leaning casually against the lamp-post ahead, hand in pocket and wearing a smile. A smile that was both charming and concealing.
She stood. At a first glance he looked about twenty-three and more than handsome, she had to say. He was formally dressed in a shirt, waistcoat and tie; his blazer slung over his shoulders and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Whether it was the way the light of the lamp-post shone on him or whether his skin was really that pale she couldn't be sure. Most of his black hair hung on the left side of his face, where, again from what Gray could gather in the light, he had thick square glasses over his eyes. He was staring right at her, and so she began to answer his question.
'A girl as beautiful as me has a lot on her mind. And what would your excuse be, monsieur?'
He stood now, walking closer towards her with the same mischievous smile.
'So I'm not deceived. Your eyes really are...extraordinary.'
'Charming as well as handsome', she thought. Under his glasses lay curious dark navy eyes. She now smiled, strangely unable to keep her eyes off him.
'Merci beaucoup. May I ask your name, monsieur?'
'It is Blake my beautiful lady, and how lovely to make your acquaintance.'
He took his gloved hand in hers and kissed it so softly; his lips sent a chill through her sleeve.
'And may I ask mademoiselle for hers?' Blake said, still holding her hand and cocking his head to one side.
She couldn't help but blush. He was so close to her face that her heart was beating double than what it should be.
'Gray, monsieur Blake.'
'Ah' He said kissing her hand once more. 'Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl.'
She was becoming feverish from him being so close. She had to turn her face away from his, but he gently moved it back.
'Now why would mademoiselle want to turn her beautiful face away from appreciation...?'
Gray's mouth opened and stayed open. She didn't question who he was or what he was doing. She was simply speechless. Blake continued to stare deep into her eyes, until his head darted towards the smashing of a car window that broke the silence. He seemed distracted, but, unexpectedly, he pulled her close until Gray could feel his breath in her ear.
'Unfortunately, I must leave now. But I will hope to see mademoiselle again soon. Adieu.'
He took one last look into her eyes and, as if satisfied with that, he walked off, leaving her standing there with a grin on her face, completely awestruck. He had made the impression of a nice guy and reminded her of her ex-boyfriend, Zak. She'd turned around to catch another glimpse at him, but to her surprise he'd disappeared. 'He wouldn't be doing that if he found out I was 3 months pregnant' she wondered.
Gray made her way home through the dusky streets with a smile still stuck to her face, wondering if she would ever see him again.
Turning a corner onto 'Rue le Roi', a woman dressed in a black hooded cloak fit to her frame stood in the middle of the path. Glossy burgundy hair framed her round face and drained the colour from her skin, but she bore a warm smile on her cherry lips.
'Hello, Gray.'
Olive eyes fixed onto Gray's. She had a soft voice and seemed friendly enough, but how did she know that Gray would be there? There was a certain look in her eyes that suggested that she'd known her for a really long time. Maybe she was some friend of her mother's or something due to her very high prestige, which would explain her being English. How could she though? Gray had never seen her before in her life.
'Can I help you?-'
'You look so much like your mother, and yet, that element of your father is clearly visible.'
An expression of confusion swam across Gray's face.
'Who are you?' She asked her.
They were face to face now, and as she stared at her, strange glimpses of her mother made themselves clearer. Like her eyes were in the same place, her nose was only a little smaller, and her forehead also the same. Could she be a relative of some sort? No, of course she couldn't. Both of her parents were orphans. As far as Gray was concerned this was getting too weird for her liking.
'You don't know me yet, but you will soon. And you will be ready.'
The lady put a hand on her shoulder, smiled broadly and then walked around the corner. Gray stood there, completely baffled at her words, and then decided to run back to ask her what in God's name she was talking about, but as soon as she turned the corner she was nowhere to be seen. Hmm. 'Two mysterious people in one night was enough for me I think'.
Gray was turning into Rue le Couture now; a little street bearing only two large houses. She opened the big black gates and walked down the gravel path, leading to the cream house on the left. As she neared her door however a surge of pain suddenly hit her insides, making her heave a little. She clutched my stomach and shrieked in agony. What was going on? Her stomach felt fit to burst and things started blurring around her. She'd just opened her door and managed to get into the hall when her whole body simply gave up completely, and she hit the marble floor head first.

This organization is required to file an IRS Form 990-N.
How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
Through our own
programs and alliances, we included an estimated 100
children in the arts, sciences, and humanities. This number includes low income and disabled children and refugees. The
actual impact on children is much broader, due to the number of individuals we
have trained in inclusion this year. In total, during the 2008-2009 fiscal year, The Enrichment
Alliance of Virginia provided exposure to, support for, and training in the
inclusion of special needs children and English Language Learners to an
estimated 94 people. At
our spring training alone, the minimum number of children served by the
programs attending was 130.
Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
The Enrichment Place
The Enrichment Place directly serves up to eight children per session by providing a variety of enriching programmed and supervised unprogrammed activities. We regularly include special needs children and refugees. These children are supported through Project Access, described below. Through Project Access we bring in occupational therapists, trained volunteers, and accessible materials in order to support and encourage these children as they explore creative activities and the arts and sciences, and develop healthy lifestyles.
Program long term success
Our long-term success will be in evidence when there is no longer a need for The Enrichment Place because other community programs are confident in their ability to include special needs children and English Language Learners.
Program success monitored by
Program Director
Program success examples
A refugee who came into our program barely speaking English was with us for three years. This year she is fully included in a school after school program with no special support.
A child with autism refused to get out of his car the first day, but by the end of the year was participating fully and interacting with others in the program socially.
A parent of a typically developing child reported to a board member that this program, "Has erased forever his prejudices against people with disabilities."
Population(s) Served
Children and Youth (infants - 19 years.)
Mentally/Emotionally Disabled
Poor/Economically Disadvantaged, Indigent, General
Program 2
Project Access
Access provides children with disabilities opportunities to participate in
enriching, safe, and meaningful activities during out of school hours. We do this by:
enrichment program staff and volunteers to support and accommodate children
with disabilities.
afterschool and summer inclusion programs.
exposure to and understanding of children with special needs among afterschool
and summer enrichment communities.
collaboratively with other community organizations who share our goals.
connect professionals such as occupational therapists and special educational
teachers with enrichment programs for the purposes of direct services and
Program long term success
Afterschool and summer enrichment programs will be comfortable with and prepared for the inclusion of special needs children in their programs. As a result, children with special needs will have a wider selection of enrichment activities to choose from than is currently available in our community.
Program success monitored by
Program Director
Program success examples
Two children with Asperger's Syndrome participated in a mainstream summer filmmaking camp, with a mentor.
A child with mental health needs participated in a mainstream crafts program, with a mentor.
Participants in training programs offered over the past three years report increase comfort with inclusion.
Population(s) Served
Children and Youth (infants - 19 years.)
Charlottesville and Albemarle County and surrounding counties in Central Virginia.
Funding Needs
During the academic year, volunteer support is sufficient to meet the needs of children who require mentors to be successfully included in after school activities. However, because summer programs typically run daily for a week or more at a time volunteers are not available to support these children. Funding is needed to pay mentors to assist special needs children so that their summer days can be spend productively engaged in meaningful learning and social experiences. We will need to move out of our building, which we rent for a nominal fee, when it is torn down in the next year or so. We will need to be able to pay rent at market value. Scholarships are needed to support the continued inclusion of low income children in our own programs and in programs we collaborate with.
