A/N: My very first one-shot so have mercy on me! ^_^;
Haha anyways…
On with the one-shot! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own digimon
He's Mine
Zoe tossed and turned in her bed sheets, and the moment she heard her alarm clock go off she hopped out of bed with a big smile on her face. Today was the day she and her best friend Takuya Kanbara were going to hang out at the park. In Takuya's mind, it just a get together with his friend. But in Zoe's mind, today was the day she was going to tell him she liked him. Like-like him
Her heart was racing as she made her way to the park. She didn't want to just spill it out to Takuya instantly, she needed the right time.
There he is… Zoe thought as she saw Takuya sitting on the park bench Don't screw this up Zoe, don't screw this up!
She made her way to Takuya and sat next to him. "Hey Takuya, what's up?" she smiled
"The sky, birds…And a few planes too" he shrugged and laughed
"Wow" she giggled "So, what do you want to do?" Zoe asked and a moment after that she heard Takuya's stomach growl. "Let me guess…You want to eat?" she rolled her eyes
Takuya laughed and rubbed his stomach "Maybe…Want some ice cream?" he asked and pointed toward the ice cream cart that was near the sand box.
"Yeah, don't worry I'll get it" Zoe said and walked off to get ice cream. She looked back and noticed some girls that were staring at Takuya. They were all of those snobby girls Zoe hated from school. They better know what's right and back off Zoe thought in her head andturned around to get the ice cream. When she got it she turned around to notice the girls winking and waving at Takuya.
What? No! Takuya is mine… She thought angrily
Takuya winked at them
Takuya is mine…
The girls started to walk towards him
Zoe started to quicken her pace and just when she reached Takuya, so did the girls.
A girl that had black wavy sneered at Zoe and smiled at Takuya "Hey there, what's your name?" she asked
But before Takuya could answer Zoe interrupted him "Well my name is Zoe, and I think your hair has a little bit of ice cream on it" she said sweetly.
The girl checked her hair "There's no ice cream in my hair, weirdo" she scoffed
Zoe took her ice cream cone and crushed it on top of the girls hair "Oh really? Because there's a lot on it right now…" she smiled
She's going down…
"Oh my gosh!" the girl screamed "You freak!" she glared and ran off. The other girls glared at Zoe.
"What the heck was that for?" The brunette girl with ponytail asked in rage
"Yeah" The girl with long curly blonde hair said "Who do you think you are!?"
"Well I think I'm Zoe…" she rolled her eyes sarcastically "And I think you girls a bunch of snobby, stuck up freaks who think they can get a guy instantly just because they twirl their hair or wear a bunch of crappy make up" she said in a false sweet voice.
Takuya looked at her in shock. He never heard Zoe talk like that to a girl before.
The blonde gasped "Oh yeah? Well I think your just some loser that doesn't have a chance with a hot guy because guess what!? You aren't that pretty or popular" she dissed
"You guys calm down!" Takuya said nervously
Zoe glared at them "At least I'm not flirting with a guy that's already taken" she smirked
"That's right" Zoe smiled "Takuya's taken…By me"
Takuya's eyes widened in shock Zoe likes me? [cue annoying kiddie voice] Hehe…Zoe likes me! She likes me! She likes me! (lol)
The other girls were in shock as well. The brunette girl regained composure and just sneered at Zoe "Whatever loser, he winked at us anyway" she smirked and the girls laughed with her.
Zoe was enraged now and did the only thing he could have thought off.
She slapped the girl in the face "You better stay away from Takuya, or else I'm gonna mess up that pretty little face of yours" she growled. The brunette girl held her cheek in pain "You're going to regret that you freak!" she cried and ran off. The other girls followed except for the girl the curly blonde hair.
She glared at Zoe "You heard Brook, you're going to regret you ever did that" she said sharply and walked off.
"I already regret the fact that I saw her face…Now there's more!?" Zoe mocked and watched the girl walk away. She turned to Takuya to notice he was a little bit in a state of shock.
He was blushing like crazy and had a goofy grin on his face "Y-You like me?"
Zoe sat next to him and smiled "Yeah Takuya, I've always liked you"
Takuya smiled "I like you too…But you didn't have to scare those girls away like that" he laughed
Zoe looked him in the eyes and giggled
"I had to, because they needed to know you were mine"
~ Fin ~
A/N: Oh, does this mean I'll have another fanfic with this Brook girl getting her revenge? …You'll have to wait and see (jk, there probably won't be anyways) =)
Remember to R&R! Peace :) ~Ambiekinz =]

I'd never seen Everett like this. He was our fearless leader, our strong, quiet, always-has-his-head-on-straight superman, the one who guided us through rough waters. There he was, sitting at the kitchen table, staring through a glass of water. His skin was pale, his eyes red, his mouth a thin line.
He hadn't said a word since the attack ended. He stumbled straight to the house ahead of us and felk into a kitchen chair, unresponsive and defeated. Kathy had gotten him the water after we'd explained as much as we could guess of what had happened. Everyone was shocked. None of us had any clue what to do.
Then a miracle happened.
A small spot opened above the kitchen table and a hand shot through- Genevieve's hand- and dropped a piece of parchment on the table. Everett leapt forward, grazing her fingers as they disappeared back through the portal. Phineas picked up the rolled paper that fell on the floor and we all turned to him as he read.
When he finished, Baxter's first question was "What's in the drawer?" but he hushed when Everett glared at him furiously.
"Tomorrow I'm going after her. The rest of you may join me if you wish." Everett stood and went to his room, his shoulders stiff as he marched out of the kitchen and through the dining room.
"I'm going, too," Baxter said. "Anyone else?"
I raised my hand and the others followed shortly, except for Phineas. We turned to glare at him. Finally he rolled his eyes, unfolded his arms, and huffed, "Of course I'll go. Probably a suicide mission, but hey, why not."
We started discussing what we should bring and Baxter asked me to fetch a notebook. When we finished our survival list, I took it and knocked timidly on Everett's door.
"Hey," I said as he opened the door. "We made this list- I went ahead and added Genevieve's stuff to yours, since your things are together."
"Thanks." He took the paper and started to close the door, but I stopped him.
"Wait- are you alright?" I asked. "I can make you some cocoa or something. My mom always said a drink is the best way to make someone feel better, though I think she meant something stronger..."
He smiled slightly and declined, disappearing into his room and leaving me embarrassed in the hallway. Everett always flustered me! He was so soft spoken and sweet. Why couldn't Phin be like that? I felt like the only reason we were sort of together was because of our limited options. Maybe I'd be happier alone.
I walked up the hall to my bedroom and pulled a open my closet. We had figured we'd need a few changes of clothes, water, food, and some other essentials, like Swiss Army knives. Alex and Kathy had run to the outdoors store in town to pick some up and things like real hiking backpacks. We planned on two tents carried by our strongest, Phin and Baxter, and we'd each carry a compact sleeping bag rolled up and fixed to our packs.
We weren't sure what to expect as far as weather was concerned, so they were also picking up some special adjustable coats for us, and I threw some leggings on top of my stack of shirts to wear under the pants they were picking up.
Food was simple- Genevieve liked to keep us stocked with "grab and go" foods (which is why there were six dehydrators in the kitchen,) so all we had to do was raid her pantry of jerky, dried fruits, veggies, pasta mixes, cookies, and her weirder recipes of fruit and veggie "leathers" and cheese crisps.
We all had a lot of time on our hands. She made crazy foods and taught us all music, Phineas was learning martial arts from books and TV, and I was learning to sew. Alex was learning medical stuff, so she was definitely the most useful.
Kathy and Alex returned and the rest of us filed down the stairs and into the dining room where they were splitting things into piles.
"While we're all down here, I need to tell you something." Kathy's eyes focused on Bernard. "I realized at the store that all of this had happened so fast, none of us considered the animals. Someone has to stay and take care of them. I'm just an old lady- I won't do you any good out there wherever you're headed, so I'm the best choice to stay behind."
"Then I'm staying with you." Bernard strode over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "It's not safe for you to stay here alone and sometimes Mav and the pigs can be a handful. Besides, it'll be nice having the house together," he said, his eyes softening.
"Sounds like a plan," Everett said. "Kai shouldn't be a problem for you, and the cows just need water. I appreciate you thinking of that, Kathy."
"Well, I know you have a lot on your mind. You boys get the rest out of the truck," Kathy said, nodding at Bernard, Alex, Phin, and Everett. Alex handed me a bag of toiletries and told me to divvy them up. I reached in and pulled out a black oblong funnel.
"What's this?"
"It must have popped out of the tube- those are for you, me, and Genevieve so we can pee standing up. These piles are for us." She swept her arm toward the left side of the table. "Find the case for it and squeeze the funnel flat to get it back inside."
Once the guys brought the rest of the gear in and we got it all separated, we took seats around the table and began packing.
When everything was tucked away, excluding food, water, tents, and sleeping bags, Everett stood and showed us how to attach the bedrolls to the backpack. I already had the food we were taking organized, so Alex and Baxter followed me to the kitchen to help bring it out. We stuffed our bags the rest of the way while Kathy took the bag of water bottles to the kitchen to wash.
Nobody spoke much as we prepared ourselves. It wasn't an awkward silence- more a hyper-focused one. Everyone was taking this seriously, even Phineas, though he did crack a few jokes about the pee-funnel when he saw me trying to squeeze it back into its tube. Once Kathy finished with the water bottles, we were ready.
All we had to do was wait.
The day lasted forever. We passed the time with games, movies, and two very high calorie delicious meals where we stuffed our faces, savoring every bite . Who knew the next time we'd get a home cooked meal? As time got closer, we each did a last bathroom check, adjusted our boots, and headed out the front door. The attack was due, and we each had different starting points.
The second the first black, heat blasting portal opened, we took off like rockets, running toward the walkway. I saw the blue portal open about ten feet ahead, Alex following Everett through it like ghosts, but a black one tore the air and I had to roll sideways. Alex grasped my sleeve as he passed, yanking me up, and I kept going, disappearing through that hole in the air and into the unknown.
A branch slapped my face as I flung my arm out trying to catch something. I felt my hand hit someone in the back of the head and heard Phineas cry out. It seemed the portal had opened into the lofty branches of some weird silver tree, and we were all scrambling to find branches that would support our weight. I heard a thump and my heart stopped, thinking someone had fallen. We all steadied and looked down- Everett had just dropped Genevieves pack.
"Sorry," he muttered. He was the lowest on the tree and started to climb down, his long legs easily reaching the limbs beneath him. Alex followed easily, then Baxter, but Phineas and I just looked at each other and the ground, frozen.
"We'll catch you if you fall," Baxter called up, his voice filtering through the white-veined leaves.
"I would crush you!" Phin yelled back.
"I was talking to Olivia." I could hear a limb crack over Bax's laugh and looked at Phineas. He through a stick down but missed, and Alex stepped sideways to avoid it.
"We can't reach the next step," I cried, slightly frightened.
"Move," an unfamiliar voice snapped below. I saw someone wearing dirty brown robes elbowing his way to the base of the tree. "Come down!" He smacked an old walking stick against the trunk and I suddenly felt myself being lowered. I swallowed my scream of surprise and touched down lightly. Phineas was wrapped around his branch tightly, and it shook him until he fell with a plop onto the grass.
"Who the heck are you?" Baxter demanded as Phineas stood, shaken, and brushed off his bottom.
"I'm the man who brought you here. Now let's go see your little friend."

Sidewalk Chalk Adventure
At 7:00 am sharp, the alarm clock on Ben's bedside table began to ring. Ben reached for it, with every intention of throwing it against the wall.
The clock jumped out of the way.
"Aaaaakkkk!!!" Ben screamed and snatched his hand back. He gawked at the lively little appliance as it ran around the top of the table, still ringing.
Ben had never seen this one before. It was white enamel, with bold black Roman Numerals on its' face. It was perfectly round, with four brass legs jutting out on an angle from its' body.
It had a large red half round clapper on each side. As Ben made another grab at it, the clappers started beating against the sides like drums.
Grumbling profanely, Ben dragged himself out of bed. Mary Poppins was behind all of this, he just knew it.!
Ben tried to pick up the clock, but it jumped through the air to his bureau, where it began to dance a merry jig.
The ringing was getting louder, and Ben was getting a headache. He had to shut it up!! He made a desperate lunge at the thing, and somehow missed the bureau altogether.
He lay on the floor in a little heap and decided he might just as well get up. He stood up and looked at the clock, which was still dancing, still ringing.
"Please shut up!" he yelled. Amazingly, it did. Apparently it responded to requests better than violence.
Defeated, he grabbed his robe and headed for the shower with slumped shoulders. He hoped there was Aspirin in the bathroom.
When he was ready, he went down to the kitchen where he could smell bacon frying.This was surprising, since his dad was very cholesterol conscious, and they rarely had it in the house. Lily was sitting at the table buttering toast.
"It's about time you got up, lazy bones." She smirked.
He sat down beside her,and took a swipe at the side of her head. she ducked and stuck her tongue out at him.
Mary Poppins sat a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs in front of him. "Why are we all up so early?" He asked through a mouthful of bacon.
"Gentlemen do not talk with their mouths full." Mary remarked calmly."
Lily giggled so hard that she almost choked on her scrambled eggs.
Glaring at Lily to silence her, Mary Poppins said, " We're going to see Bert today after breakfast."
"I don't want to go, that guy is weird!" Ben announced.
"Indeed?" Mary Poppins said, as she folded her arms and planted her feet.
Just as Ben swallowed his last gulp of milk, he found himself standing up and walking to the door with no help from him. His jacket floated out to him, and he began to put it on.
Lily was already dressed for the outdoors, and stood in the open doorway, waiting for him. She was staring past him, and he turned to see what was going on.
He was not all that surprised to see the dishes washing themselves in the sink. His room had cleaned itself in much the same way.
When they got out to the sidewalk, Mary Poppins headed North. The two children followed meekly along behind, whether they wanted to or not.
Everything began to look unfamiliar after just one block. Ben knew his neighbourhood very well, and it consisted of a whole lot more than one block!
When they had been walking only ten minutes, Mary Poppins turned down a quiet tree lined lane. There were flowers still poking up through green grass, even though it was late October.
At the end of the lane was a quaint little stone cottage with a thatched roof. It had a lovely rose garden that was split in half by a very wide sidewalk, which led up to the house.
Bert met them at the door, and greeted them warmly.
"Such a beautiful day for adventure!" He said, as he knelt down beside the sidewalk. He pulled a box of sidewalk chalk out of his blue denim shirt.
He began to draw quickly, and a scene formed on the cement surface.
The children watched from the sidelines, without comment.
"Do you only draw at home, these days?" Mary Poppins asked gently, lest he be offended at her nosiness.
"Oh yes, " he answered without looking up. " I can't draw on the city streets anymore. I would have to clean it off and pay a fine for drawing graffiti on city property."
"What is graffiti?" Mary Poppins asked, puzzled.
"Done!!" Bert cried, without answering her question, because he hadn't heard it. He got up from his knees and appraised his handiwork.
Ben jumped from the sudden movement, but Lily was still engrossed in the picture on the sidewalk.
It was a beautiful summer meadow, much the same as the one that Lily had seen in her imagination when Mary Poppins first arrived.
There was even a stunning silver unicorn, munching daisies in the grass. That was all, just eating. No other bodily function was occurring this time.
"Come on then, kiddies, let's go meet Glisten." Bert said as he pulled them both toward the sidewalk.
As they reached the edge, Bert jumped into the middle of the picture. Out of the corner of her eye, Lily could see that Mary Poppins was jumping into the picture too.
Pftt!! All four of them were in the meadow that Bert had drawn on the sidewalk. The unicorn cantered towards Bert, who was holding a nice red apple out to her.
"This is Glisten," Bert told the children, as the unicorn daintily bit into the apple.
Ben and Lily stood in place and turned right around to see all that they could see of this astounding event.
"What a fine adventure we are going to have today," Bert declared, beaming widely.

Somewhere between wishes and reality...lie dreams. Her mother, father, and nephew all need her but have Cass's dreams gotten lost in the crunch?
They call it the sandwich generation. Daughter, sister, auntie, innkeeper, employer but has Cass herself gotten lost in the crunch?
The proud proprietor of her own bed-and-breakfast in sleepy Seaside, New Jersey, Cass Merton is intrigued by Dan Harmon who arrives at SeaSong for an extended stay. After witnessing the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York City, the godly finance specialist is rethinking his life, career, and relationships or lack of them. "God, " Dan laments, "I can t do this Forty-four is too old to have no plan for the future
Whatever possessed me to think I could do this?" Cass asks, questioning her consent to care for her easygoing nephew and feisty teenage niece for a whole year while their parents work in the Middle East. Add Cass's four brothers, who don t take Dad's compulsive contest entries and Mom's increasing dementia one bit seriously, and her emotions swirl like the quickly rising hurricane that's fast approaching Seaside. But everyday cares aren t Cass's only problems. A troubled young employee unknowingly endangers her as well. When an alarm sounds in the middle of the night, bullets fly and Cass is taken hostage by a gunman. Dan looks urgently to the Lord for help and recognizes a new emotion within himself: "love.

It's late afternoon but the relentless summer sun still beats down from a clear sky above picturesque Crete, Greece's largest island.
Just outside Elounda, a tourist town on the island's northeastern coast, sun-dappled water laps onto a pebbly stretch of shore where a few holidaymakers are stretched out on loungers shaded by wide umbrellas.
It may be high season, but this beach is half empty.
"It's definitely much quieter this year," says Tina Heeres, a Dutch woman in her early 40s who's been running the beach's bar for the past six seasons, "and people are taking much more care of how they spend their money."
"If they buy their drinks and food, they maybe don't spend on a lounger and umbrella, or the other way round," she adds.
In town, bar owner Nikos Drakonakis nods in agreement.
"Last year was quiet but not like this year," he says wiping his brow with a napkin, estimating that takings are down between 30 and 40 percent.
Accounts like these are bad news for Greece, which needs to attract every tourist it can this season.
The sector generates almost a fifth of Greek national output and will play a vital role in the country's economic recovery, but in June figures from the Bank of Greece showed tourism receipts had plunged by 15.7 percent compared to last year, following a 10 percent decline in 2009.
Nikos says media coverage of violent protests against austerity measures in Athens and successive strikes have damaged Greece's reputation - he fears potential visitors are heading to other sunny destinations such as Turkey.
Back near the water's edge but perched on a cliff above the shore is the Blue Bay Hotel, where a handful of guests are cooling off in the swimming pool they have all to themselves.
The hotel's director, Nikolaos Chronis, sips his coffee and lights a cigarette: "Things can't really go much lower!" he says only half-joking.
After a troubling start to the season, he says business has recovered in the peak July-August period, and now the hotel's bookings are the same as this time last year.
"I say thank God because the situation in general is still not so good," Chronis says.
Upbeat news of an influx of tourists over the peak of the season was echoed by the president of Greece's Association of Travel Agencies (HATTA), George Telonis.
"The sector has held out, visitor numbers are almost at the same level as 2009...and in receipts, we're estimating a fall of 7-9 percent," he told AFP.
As Chronis contemplates the Aegean view from his office, he says the outlook is much more positive: "Things in the country are more stable now fortunately, foreigners have a different idea of Greece from the start of the year."
In March, he remembers guests arriving at the hotel "feeling a bit nervous" because of what they had seen reported in the media.
"People would ask if they could go out, if they could take a taxi, is it safe?" he says incredulously.
Though business at Blue Bay is improving, Chronis admits others have suffered 30 percent drops in occupancy, with hotels at the luxury end of the market hardest hit.
The vice-president of Crete's local hoteliers union, Yannis Economou, assessed this summer season on the island as "average to bad".
Business at his luxury hotel in the island's main town Iraklion has struggled but he holds out hope that the worst of the crisis is over.
Back on the beach, John and Kath, a couple in their 50s from London, are drying off after taking their last dip of the day.
"Some of our friends from home decided not to come," says Kath, after they were put off by the unrest earlier in the year, "but we were determined," she adds admitting that she is enjoying the extra space left by those who have stayed away.
The couple have been holidaying at the same spot for the past 10 years.
"People who know Greece will take all the riots with a pretty large pinch of salt," says John. "They know the Greek people and know that flashpoints are likely to be in Athens rather than on islands like Crete."
Back on the beach, Tina the bar operator is shaking off the empty sunloungers and closing the last umbrellas.
"For me personally it's been a much easier season," she says cheerfully as the sun disappears behind the rocky cliff, casting the beach in shadow.
There may be fewer tourists she says, "but the ones who are here have chosen to come here to Greece, they really want to be here."
"They're happy and relaxed which means we are as well," she adds.Reuse content

Soggy ConversationsMature
Dawn saw Gabriel's magick flicker as the vampyre shivered.
"Gabriel?" Dawn said quietly.
"I'm alright." Gabriel couldn't stop his teeth chattering as he spoke Dawn smiled.
"Cold?" he said Gabriel glared at him but nodded. Dawn put a wet arm around the vampyres shoulders and Gabriel smiled appreciating the effort.
It was almost an hour before Balthazar could set Malachi down the daemon had tiny burn marks on his face and hands where the water had splashed.
"How do you have a bath?" Gabriel asked as he stripped his outer layers off.
"There is a tonic I can add to water," Malachi said "it makes it tolerable and doesn't injure me, I just go a little pink."
"How did you come with us when we left the Midway?" Sylver asked "we went through water then."
"Like I said," Malachi smiled "it makes it bearable, for a short time."
"fair enough." Gabriel couldn't imagine not being able to have a shower. Berith tried to get near enough to Malachi to check his injuries but the small daemon waved her away.
"Let me see." She growled.
"I'm alright." He grumbled as her clothes dripped water near him, he snatched his hand back. "Get yourself sorted." Morgan squeaked as she turned to see Rossier strip off and begin digging in his bag for dry clothes.
"What?" he frowned noticing her looking.
"Have some dignity." She frowned.
"Never." Rossier grinned Berith slapped his arm as she pulled Morgan further down the tunnel to change. Gabriel moved to pass Rossier and stopped his eyes fixed on two ragged slightly pink scars running down where his shoulder blades were.
"Gabriel," Dawn shook his head hurriedly at the vampyre and beckoned him over.
"What happened to him?" Gabriel whispered once they were away, he could hear Morgan and Berith talking further down the tunnel.
"Rossier's story," Dawn said "but he can be a little touchy about it. You always notice when someone's scarred, dont you?" Dawn smiled.
"Do I?" Gabriel shrugged "but fair enough that he feels that way" he could understand the daemons point he stripped his wet shirt off.
"Talking of which," Dawn said not looking up as he tugged his jeans of grimacing as the material stuck to his cold skin.
"Of what?" Gabriel growled knowing what the daemon was talking about.
"Yours," Dawn said now looking up in the darkness. "I have been thinking and I swear your scars were never painful before. You were always sensitive about them but they never hurt before."

Tips & Tricks, Travel Inspired
[WARNING: Please do not try this, unless you are very well prepared psychically! We get a lot of comments from people who hurt themselves while cliff jumping]
You've seen it in movies, you probably dream about it – so why not experience it? The thought of cliff jumping probably sounds like something that you could never do, but for others it is highly appealing. In this post we will present 10 tips on how to do a cliff jump without getting hurt, a list that can apply to cliff jumping beginners and second-level beginners (those that have already been through this once let's say). Naturally, before you do this, you must already master the art of swimming!
These are just some general ideas that you should take into consideration. We also recommend that you get a serious training from someone with experience at first and if you are indeed a beginner, start with relatively small cliffs.
1. Don't go cliff diving alone. Take your friends along, in case something goes wrong. Besides, this way things could be a lot more fun.
2. Make sure you wait for your friends to step out of the water before you decide to make the jump. This will make things easier for you to concentrate and will prevent hurting anyone.If you have a neoprene wetsuit bring it along. If you're a beginner, bring your sneakers too.
3. Before doing a cliff jump, keep in mind that pressure can be a huge issue and take care of your ears by using a few drops of olive oil or silicone.
4. Check out how deep the water is. You can do that by engaging in a little research on that particular river or lake or simply ask someone that can help you with this information. If you happen to be out in the wild and are in a situation when you have to jump- this is a movie-like scenario, but you never know-, here's an interesting solution you could try: find some natural vegetation that could be used as a rope, tie it together and then tie a rock at the end of it. This way, by throwing the rock in the water, you will know approximatively how deep it is. If it is less than 4 meters, then it is not safe, so you should search for alternatives. Also, be aware of the tides in the area. If you are a good swimmer, you can try twisting in order to escape the currents.
5. It is important to start safe. This involves a few things: first off, you must be confident, chickening out is not an option as it could really influence the way you dive. You need to be 100% lucid in order to control your body during the jump. Also, a steady starting place is necessarily in order to look around at first and calculate your jump at your own pace.
6. Make sure you have enough space and time to make your move by calculating the distance and visualize your jump in your head before take off. Start your jump by having your arms tight to the body in a straight position. This is the best way, don't mind all the silly people in the photos : )
7. Jump feet first! It is said that most of the professional cliff divers (in fact, 98% ) dive in this manner, mainly because diving head first is very dangerous.
8. Learn to enjoy the time spent in the air. This may seem like a crazy advice, but it is a great sensation once you manage to relax. This will of course occur in time. Once your body is loose, you will have more control over it.
9. When your body hits the water, it should have a tight and dynamic shape. Keep your toes stretched and arms very close to your body, so you could slide freely and easily.
10. As you start to come in contact with the water, remember to breathe out through your nose, not to let any water affect your breathing process.
In case you have experienced this semi-extreme sport and want to add some information or advice, feel free to leave a comment.
See a perfect example here:
loved your post. I'm gonna show this to my (future) bf heh. Hope you're having a great Sunday. – Dani
this is a better example!
How much deep have to be the water when we want to jump from 35 m ?
Who is a professional cliff diver? That sounds awesome.
I hurt my back quite badly cliff jumping. I had no idea how dangerous it was when I jumped. I think I actually got very lucky that the injury wasn't much worse. I think it's very very foolish and that this article is irresponsibly sensationalizing the act.
Telling people not to Cliff jump is like telling people not to have sex. This website is providing tips to stay safe while Cliff jumping. The person who hurts their back cliff jumping basically said this article was encouraging dangerous behavior, I disagree because people are going to do what they want anyway, might as well give good advice so they have less chance of getting hurt.
The comparison I made by saying telling people not to jump is like telling people not to have sex, was meant to say it 'a like telling someone to be abstinent, there's still going to do anyway you might well show them ways to protect themselves instead of avoiding the reality. I forgot to write it.
I've cliff dived a number of times in the past, but it was only when I dived again last month that I actually got injured. As soon as I landed in the water, pain shot through my legs and rested on my spine. I could hardly walk for days, and for an entire month I had to sleep with my back straight against the bed like a corpse.
My brother (who was a first timer) immediately regretted not reading up first. Although in fairness to him, he didn't get injured like I did. Now that my back is better and some friends are visiting for the weekend, I feel that I have to take them to the cliff an jump again.
This time, I can say I've actually read up. Your article taught me a lot and I feel I'm more ready this time. I never realized that keeping your hands close to your body was the optimal position as opposed to flapping them around like a bird. Ha!
Just one question though: I felt that I got injured because I entered the water with my legs straight instead of bending my knees a little… Am I right in assuming that it should be a little bent?
One more tip: don't look down, or you will feel it in the back of your throat!!! Try to stare straight ahead if you can.
Please also be mindful if you have even a slight balance problem or vertigo.can lead to serious consequences.
I disagree with the whole keep your arms to the side stuff. If you are new cliff jumper and are jumping from over 30 feet then you may have to have your arms out to adjust should you start to drift backwards. I seriously hurt my back jumping from 55 Feet and keeping my hands to the side. Only put them to the side right before you make contact with water "otherwise they will smack the water" . I do like the advice about starting low. Gradually working your way up is the smartest move. This gives you the experience and teaches you what not to do. I watched a first time jumper die after doing a flip from 45 feet at an old strip mine on spring break. Right before he jumped my friend yelled out "see you at your funeral" jokingly but he couldn't have been more correct. Be very careful cliff diving and always land on your feet if you are not very experienced.
I know this sounds like common sense.. But when i landed on a 70ft jump, i happened to have my eyes open. Im not sure why i did (maybe just to know where i was going to land. But please people dont land with your eyes open lol.
this sounds sick!!!
Always look where your going but shut your eyes just before you hit the water…
I cliff jumped a few days ago and my landing was terrible. I have big bruises on my legs. They are not painful and I can move around as I normally do. What worries me is the moving sensation that I now get whenever I am still or lying down. I don't know if I have injured my neck or head or ears. Please advise.
Thanks you for the advice I went cliff diving last weekend and because of the advice I did not get hurt.
What does wearing a wet suit do while cliff jumping?
[…] than this, including quite complex physics you might want to consider before the jump. There are a few additional tips to remember: don't do it alone, check how deep the water is and remain […]

If you want to make 2006 your most successful year yet, seize the opportunity and go for it! Never settle for mediocrity again and reap the rewards you know you are capable of!
I hope that you had a pleasurable Christmas & New Year, and if you were anything like me you would have overindulged on more than one occasion.
Hey, what's the point of training hard all year without being able to let your hair down and "living a little" from time to time?
Also, if you were like me you would have done the whole "New Year's Resolution" bit as well, though we might have had slightly different factors driving us.
I learned a long time ago not to dwell on the past, so if I ate too much Christmas pudding then so be it - I am not going to beat myself up over it and neither should you. But you know, because we cannot change the past doesn't me we cannot learn from it, or use it to fuel the upcoming year. That's what I do.
The factors that I felt let me down in 2005 become my priority for 2006. We are surrounded by opportunities to improve every single day and if we fail to take advantage of them, then we fail - pretty simple stuff!
Look Back To Move Forward!
Before we rush into things, we need to make a few assessments on where we are now and where we have come from as this will help us build direction for where we want to go. If 2006 is going to be your breakout year - the year you will achieve great results - then why is this year going to be so great?
What are you planning to do that is going to make such drastic changes and more importantly, what didn't you do in the past to obtain them sooner?
If you don't take the time to reflect over the previous year and isolate the factors that you feel could have been better, do you think that things will be any different this year - how could they be?
For example, let's say that your diet for 2005 had been anything but good. If you do not acknowledge that as one of your weaknesses, why would you change it? That's right, you wouldn't - and the cycle continues.
Then before you know it, you are sitting in this exact same position 12 months from now determined to make 2007 your best year yet. Don't waste another second, do it now!
So, that first thing you need to do is make a list of all the things that could have been better for the pervious year. Training, nutrition, recovery - anything you can think of. (I should note though to be realistic. Falling off the wagon a few times such as overindulging is okay, just as long as it isn't a habit.) Then from there, list some ways in which you could improve.
As an example let's look at nutrition and supplementation. After careful review, you have found that you failed to incorporate effective post-workout nutrition and supplementation after every workout. So for 2006, one of your resolutions will be to apply better strategies to the best of your abilities.
To View Top-Selling Post-Workout (PWO) Shakes, Click Here.
Here is a sample that I have created to reflect what I mean:
- I will capitalize on my training efforts with my post-workout shake (PWO) and supplements after every session.
- I will follow that lead with a second highly digestible meal within 1 hour after completing my workout.
- I will ensure I never run out of supplements so no training session is never not supported 100%.
- Most importantly, I will always eat on time.
Make The Commitment
And Stay Consistent
Often I get asked what is the best way to train, what is the best supplement to take, what is the best for this and the best for that. But you know, unless you are consistent with your approach, then second best will be what you get. Successful training is just as much about habit building as it is bodybuilding.
You need to develop the habit of regularly going to the gym, eating the right foods, taking the right supplements and staying consistent with the plan. There is little value to be gained of having a great lifestyle 3 days out of 7 every week - it takes a little more than that.
So if you are new to training and envision 2006 as the year you turn your life around, your number one goal will be creating a new lifestyle that you enjoy and most importantly, one you can follow consistently.
Speaking Of Goals...
Now as you know, you can't get anywhere without knowing where you want to go, and the same can be held true when thinking about your physique. How can you expect to build a great physique if you have not defined what you are trying to accomplish and more importantly - why you want it?
What is it that you are trying to accomplish, when do you want your results by, and why are they so important for you? You really need to put yourself in the hot seat here and make yourself accountable for everything.
Without taking responsibility for your actions, and more importantly your prospective outcomes, why would you think that this year is going to be any different - any more productive, to be precise?
Without the new direction that only comes from setting some meaningful short, medium and long-term goals, you are just going to do what you have done in the past and therefore guaranteeing the same results. Why would you expect anything different?
OK, time for some soul-searching. Grab a pen and a piece of paper and disappear into yourself for awhile and just write down whatever comes to mind. The whole point of this exercise is to see what really makes you tick. What is it that you really want?
Make sure you list it, no matter how big your dreams are. Plus, putting all your goals down on paper makes them real - no longer are they a pipe dream or something you 'hoped' might happen. They become something tangible that you can now work toward achieving.
I took this challenge myself and here are a few things that I came up with:
In 2006, I will ...
- Get to the gym on time for every session.
- Take advantage of every training opportunity and give it my best effort.
- Be consistent with my nutrition, not only throughout the week but also on the weekends.
- Take all my supplements on time.
- Schedule in allocated recovery periods, to ensure all my effort is not in vain.
Now What?
Time To Put The Plan Into Action!
With the insight that you have gained from reviewing your previous years and by determining ways in which you could have performed better, you are already off to a better start. Keeping acquainted with your goals and what you are trying to achieve on a daily basis again puts you in a great position to achieve success. The next step is to simply take action.
Treat each day as a new opportunity to improve on the day before. Go into the gym and try lifting a little more weight/pumping out a few more reps. Stay determined to stick to your nutrition plan and do whatever needs to be done to achieve success.
Getting a great physique is never easy. Many times the challenge seems too great or the obstacles in your way seem too daunting. It's just easier to sometimes admit defeat before you even give it a decent shot. But that is what makes it so rewarding. If this game was easy, everyone would have a great physique, but where is the accomplishment in that?
This is something that you are doing for yourself, maybe even your yearly mission. That's reason alone why you cannot fail and why this year will be your best yet. When you want it bad enough, you can achieve anything!

Sibling Rivalry
From Cain and Abel to the dudes from Oasis, brothers have a long history of fighting and generally acting like pricks with each other. Sometimes it's jealousy. Other times it's because they simply have nothing in common. In the play The Brothers Size, two brothers living in the Louisiana bayou find themselves at odds for their very souls. One is a single-minded man, looking to open his own business and make something of himself. The other, an ex-con, is a wandering cat, living with his head in the clouds and looking for escape. Needless to say, this causes a tiff between the two. And after a trouble-seeking buddy from jail shows up, crap really hits the fan. Written by up-and-coming local playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, The Brothers Size delivers richly drawn characters and delves into West African myths, profound storytelling, and the ageless theme of two brothers who love each other enough to strangle one another. McCraney grew up in Miami's Liberty City, graduated from New World School of the Arts, and went on to be honored with Playwright Residency at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, as well as the first New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award for The Brothers Size in 2009. The play runs through October 2 at GableStage.

Rephy : Pan-cake
The food fight was.....messy. I decided to hide under the table for a while so it would die down eventually, but I couldn't resist throwing one out when a pancake went splat on my face. Adam is doing well, he seems not able to remember what happened before, but hopefully he'll recover and tell us about who he is. Violet and Arc had already retreated to showers. After around 5 minutes, the kitchen was a complete mess. Pancakes stuck on the wall, ice-cream dribbling down the table, and honey stuck on the chairs. I float upstairs and knock on Aurili's bedroom door. She opens the door then stares at me.
"Hi," I say to her, wiping honey off my cheeks.
"What happened to you?!" she asks, stepping back in horror.
"Food fight." I explain, that is all she needed to know anyway. She nods.
"Want me to clean up?" she asks.
"Yes please!" I reply, "Um, yeah....I'll just go hop in the shower."
"Sure." Then she heads downstairs.
After 20 minutes of slow shampooing, conditioning, and soaping, I get out of the shower and feel my tummy grumble. Very loudly. I walk down to the kitchen with a towel on my head, a few others are there too, showered and clean.
"I'm hungry." I call, "Who wants some pancakes?"

The school closure process will continue tonight as the Rainy River District School Board is expected to pass "Intent to Close" motions for three elementary schools.
But while Alexander MacKenzie and Sixth Street School sub-committees both recommended closing their schools in favour of an expanded J.W. Walker, Alberton Central parents said they want their school to remained open.

Complicated: Chapter 26
I walked out of the cinema and quickly made for the stairs, Justin behind me. We got outside and he stopped me and turned me around, forcing me to face him. "What's wrong Erica? What did I do?"
"What? Why'd you think you did something wrong, Justin?"
"You practically ran from me after that film! Did I do something wrong?"
"Of course not!" I replied, before kissing him, putting my hand in his, and pulling him out of the rain which was beginning to soak us right through as we had stopped in the middle of the town square. "C'mon you, let's get you to mine. Your bruises are still really bad!"
I turned and walked down the street, Justin by my side. When we got back to mine, I told him I was tired and that I was going to bed. I said I'd see them all in the morning.

It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Tie Rod to repair your vehicle. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Acura vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile. Car aficionados know that a reliable name is built into each Acura, and understand that only the best replacement CSX parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Acura automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for safety when driving their CSX around town.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. That would surely not be a pleasurable experience for Acura CSX owners, and it would also mean that automobiles wouldn't need any tie rods. The tie rod ends on your vehicle join your steering knuckles to the rack and pinion or center link, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Acura CSX tie rod means you will have trouble turning, parking, or dodging obstacles in the road.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a broken Tie Rod bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Get your CSX back on the road with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Need 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 Acura CSX Tie Rod parts? We've got them right here.

Not Forgotten
Devil blinked and stretched his wings, savouring the touch of the gale on his bare back. Sunrise was just broaching the horizon over the towers of Dartoc-6 and he was a silhouette against the furore below.
Dagger's words called him. Not spoken, no, but the words he pushed in his mind to his once-servant. The words... As if they were an itch Devil could not sate, they prickled him with an urge.
Kill the children.
Devil pushed off from the Accommodation block he'd been gripping with his toe-talons, and his wings pulled him into the air-current until he was circling the outer rim of Dartoc-6 and heading towards the castle. He inhaled. Yes, the non-maggot and Lorden were hiding there. And Whitney. As much as it pained to turn his servant back into computer and rubble, he had been bound by blood and tooth to do it. And do it he would.
Until Dagger faced his untimely ending, Devil was tied to him and his whim.
A rough wind battered Devil's coat. He yanked it further across his chest and sent a spiral of flame into the air. It warmed his palms for a moment, but quickly dissipated. Drowned, by the bloody slum rain.
If only a maggot powerful enough could chase the rain onto the castle and the rest of Dartoc-6. Away from their homes.
Two months had passed since Adrian had gone missing-slash-captured. The maggots had lost faith, to say the least. Even young Ceridwen. Their hero had failed.
Devil swore and spat onto the ground. He was already drenched with droplets, but—his cigarette wouldn't light. Strolling through the slumways, he ducked in and out of alcoves. He had to find somewhere to light his fag. One last cigarette. He said it every time, but none knew what the CTOs planned. Executions weekly broadcast over the entire Dartoc systemary.
Eventually finding an alcove suitable, he slumped against the rain-and-grime sleeked walls. Clusters of moss rubbed onto the back of his already-battered and scorched trenchcoat, but Devil shrugged it off and rooted through his pockets. Damn. No pocket light. After all that.
He let out a sigh so deep it almost turned to condensation in the air. Better risk the CTOs...
Devil conjured a lick of flame from his fingertips onto the smokes. He'd barely taken a single puff—when an elbow knocked it out of his fingers.
Devil swore. "Can't I for once have a cigarette in peace?"
The CTO responded with a punch to the face.
"Calling units 5 and 6. Identified maggot in sector 6," he crooned into his hand-set.
"Now, really." Devil rolled his eyes. "Couldn't you have come up with some nickname a little more unique?"
The CTO punched him again, a right fist that made stars bloom across his vision. Well, that was hardly fair.
Devil growled, and sprung at the CTO—but he parried and flipped Devil onto his face. The smell, eau de cobbles and grime like the rear of a lev engine, was almost worse than his stinging back.
Even so, down was not out for Devil. One hand pinned to his back, the other was loose under him, pinned only under his own weight. That, at least, was an advantage.
He leapt up, and shoved the hevvy away. Brute force, if nothing else.
He threw up a hand, as if dismissing a fly, when he was in fact trying to throw this officer off his feet, if only for a moment to give Devil time to sprint. He cursed under his breath. His thoughts darted all over his mind, and they were interrupting his every attempt at fighting back; when he passed his right hand through the air, a panel-screen on the side of the apartment block spat electric sparks and smoke.
At least that made the CTO splutter and cover his mouth.
As Devil made to creep against the wall and out, he dropped to the ground, and tilted his blaster sideways…straight into Devil's waiting jugular.
They'd been trained since last time...
Devil's right hook was parried and his left only just clipped the ear of the dodging CTO. All that, and to receive a punch to the gut that sent tears down his face.
Breathe. He had to figure out a way...
In the distance—through the mud and grit of the city slums—the pounding sounded of multiple CTOs running to join their officer. Devil gritted his teeth. With an air-controlling wave of a hand, he managed to knock a loose helmet from its owner, but the CTO parried with annoying skill. How one parried a burst of invisible force, Devil didn't know, but the Monarchy had acquired the worst kind of intel from somewhere.
"Well, send my regards to Adrian," he added. That was a dare they'd challenged themselves, that if any of them risked capture, they'd confront the CTOs with their biggest mistake.
What Devil didn't anticipate was the shock that split the CTO and his pallies' expressions.
Then it was replaced by further hate—but the uncomfortable twisting in the pit of Devil's stomach remained.
The knee to the gut and helmet to the face took him by more surprise than he was willing to admit.
He awoke in a cell that smelled of pee and dried blood. The stench of copper covered over his wrist, too; in the fight, a knife had slashed deep. Too deep. It bubbled from his chest then – his defence mechanism and greatest secret. What could be his death-sentence him if the CTOs discovered it.
In dragon-form now, he closed his eyes from the waves of memory. Dragon-form did that, enhanced what had been, not what would be. Yes, the present gleamed beyond his gaze, stretching out like a vista of flames and silhouettes under his nostrils. The world stunk, too, stunk of meat and asphalt and the dust the levs had long since turned over.
But the past was still there, a play performed by its leaders, and scattered by the bit-parts of the children, whom magic had claimed. They were irrelevant. In the scheme of things. After all, he and Dagger had far more work to do.
Devil nosed the air.
He knew his task.

University of Medicine and Dentistry New Jersey, Newark, NJ
Tumors of the Trachea constitute 2% of the upper respiratory tumors. Dyspnea cough and wheezing are common symptom as the airway becomes narrow. Tracheal tumors can be easily missed on CXR and are usually discovered on Bronchoscopy or CT scan.
A 65-year-old man with 100 pack year smoking history presented with shortness of breath and cough. He had been seen with similar complaints on multiple occasions in the ER and discharged on Proventil and Advair with diagnosis of COPD. He was using accessory muscles of respiration, breathing 28 per minute. CXR showed no abnormality. CT scan showed a Tracheal mass obstructing the lower trachea. Bronchoscopy confirmed an endotracheal mass just above the carina, obliterating the airway almost completely(picture 1,2,3). PET scan revealed no metastases. After consultation with surgery and oncology, resection of the tumor was done with the Rigid Bronchoscope, knife/snare Cauterization and ND YAG LASER with no complication. The pathology showed Squamous cell carcinoma in the background of Squamous papilloma with clear margin. A follow-up Bronchoscopy showed residual thickening in the posterior wall of the trachea (Picture 4). Photodynamic therapy was indicated for treatment of possible microscopic residual malignancy. The patient received Photofrin II, 2mg/kg and 2 days later the area was treated with PDT LASER and the debris in the Trachea was cleared 2 days later. (picture 5). The patient has been followed with CT scan and bronchoscopy for more than 8 months so far and there is no evidence of recurrent tumor and the patient remains symptom free. (Picture 6).
Interventional Pulmonology is a new field within Pulmonary Medicine. Advanced Bronchoscopic techniques such as Rigid Bronchoscopy, Laser therapy, Dilatation, Cauterization, Cryotherapy, Brachytherapy, Stenting and Photodynamic therapy are commonly used in Interventional Pulmonary Medicine. The number of centers and pulmonologists with experience in all of these procedures are limited. Laser produces a beam of monochromatic, coherent light. This light energy is transformed into heat as the laser interact with living tissue causing vaporization, coagulation, hemostasis & necrosis. Photocoagulation with ND Yag laser can be performed through a rigid or flexible Bronchoscope. Complications of laser therapy includes fistula formation, perforation of the airway, pneumothorax, hemorrhage, hypoxemia, or Endobronchial fire Photodynamic Therapy is used for the palliative treatment of endoluminal non-small cell cancer and for curative treatment of carcinoma In-situ. This procedure involves a photosensitizing agent (Photofrin II) which, when exposed to light of a proper wavelength, forms toxic oxygen radicals that result in cell death. PDT can destroys malignant cells while sparing adjacent normal tissues. The selective effect of photodynamic therapy is due to the greater uptake and retention of photosensitizing agents in neoplastic cells than in normal cells. The effect appears to be more pronounced 24 to 48 hours after infusion of the photosensitizing agent. The Bronchoscopic light therapy is performed 1-2 days after the injection of the agent. Electro Cauterization converts electrical energy to heat that is used to destroy tumors.
Laser therapy is minimally invasive procedure with low morbidity and mortality. Combining different modalities of Laser, Cautery and Photodynamic therapy in Interventional Pulmonology have shown the best outcome in the treatment of airway involvement with primary and metastatic lung cancer. The interventional modalities are also considered safer and cost-effective as major surgery can be avoided.
