After all the wanting and grasping and despairing and clinging is over, things settle down. Time has a way of dragging all the small, creeping things out into the open where they cannot hide. Your insecurities and mine, huddled together on the floor and hissing at us. After the I Love Yous and the I Am Not Going Anywheres we are left with debris: pasts, neuroses. The way I count my steps going up and down stairs. Your love of cigarellos. We pick eachother apart, analyzing each irregular piece, muttering "fascinating" to ourselves. And after all that there is nothing left but a question and the question is this:
what now?


text: LEESBURG, Va., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to GuestMetrics, based on its extensive proprietary database of POS transactions from restaurants and bars, sales of cocktail drinks grew +1.9% in 2012 compared to 2011, which was disproportionately driven by sales of flavored drinks. The data is based on analyzing 24 months of data representing over $8 billion dollars in transactions and over 250 million checks across the entire US. "In analyzing the nearly 2,000 unique cocktail types captured in our system and comparing sales for full year 2012 versus full year 2011, we see that cocktails grew nearly 2%. However, this growth was driven largely by cocktails that have a specific flavor associated with the drink," said Bill Pecoriello, CEO of GuestMetrics LLC. In addition to analyzing the 2,000 cocktail types, GuestMetrics has also classified the flavors of each cocktail. "While flavored cocktails make up about 26% of cocktail sales, they accounted for 51% of the incremental growth in 2012." According to Pecoriello, flavored cocktails grew 3.9% in 2012 versus the more tepid pace of 1.3% experienced by regular cocktails without a specific flavor associated with them. "This disparity in growth rates of flavored drinks over non-flavored drinks is also evident in the types of cocktails sold, with the largest category share gains experienced by Margaritas and Mojitos, while at the other end of the spectrum, we see that Cosmopolitans and Martinis experienced the greatest share loss in 2012," said Peter Reidhead, VP of Strategy and Insights at GuestMetrics. Based on data from GuestMetrics' POS database, the specific flavors that achieved the largest share gains across all cocktail types in 2012 versus 2011, in descending order of their share growth in basis points, were Mango (+35), Tea (+30), Ginger (+15), Melon (+15), and Cucumber (+10). "As the pressure to innovate continues to grow, it will be increasingly important for the various spirits companies to have a finger on the pulse of what is really driving the incremental growth in on-premise," continued Pecoriello, "and based on our data, we believe having a detailed understanding of which specific flavors are growing the fastest is a critical factor when these companies consider line extensions for their existing brand portfolios. Staying on top of the latest flavor trends will be critical as consumer tastes continue to change and the duration of flavor trends varies from market to market."

One dead in Rogersville Collision
We now know the names of the people involved in the collision that happened at the intersection of Highway 11 W and Highway 66 in Rogersville, Tennessee.
According to Sergeant Bill Miller of Tennessee Highway Patrol, at 1:15 p.m. a 60-year old male, Ion Hazapariu was driving a tractor trailer off Highway 11 W and was trying to make an improper left turn on Sneedville Pike Rd.
That is when he hit a car head on.
Rogersville Police tell News Five that the cab of the car caught fire, and Hazapariu got out of the tractor trailer and helped put out the fire.
18-year old Ashley Lawson of Mooresburg, Tennessee died in the crash.
Her passengers, 19-year-old Jordan Clark, and 8-month-year old Madison Stiles were taken to the hospital, and are stable.
Clark was taken by air ambulance to Holston Valley Medical Center, and Stiles was taken to the University of Tennessee.
Murray tells News Five that criminal charges are pending, and that everyone in the vehicles were wearing seat belts.

About Me
Wanna explore the US as much as I can =)
I lived most of my life in the south of Germany. The town I grew up is tiny, its located in a vally surrounded of small mountains and endles woods.
After I finished my education and worked one year in Germany I had to move on to figure out if there is a better place to live outside of Germany.
My next step was Cambridge UK, which I've known I won't settle down but I had an awesome time over there. After one year and a very short stop back in Germany I moved from Cambridge to Cambridge. -> Now I'm located in Cambridge US =)
I love the ocean and in general being outdoors doing stuff like Hiking, climbing, skiing&snowboarding, kite surfing, horseback riding, kick boxing, slack lining, hanging out with friends, going out partying, trying new things, seeing new places, meeting new people and eating good food.

To the editor: - Ruidoso News
There are 12 comments on the Ruidoso News story from May 5, 2011, titled To the editor: - Ruidoso News. In it, Ruidoso News reports that:However, recall that as a candidate he indicated that he wanted to see higher prices for all fossil fuels and a turn toward green energy, . More to the point, however, are the actions that Obama's administration has taken to exacerbate the problem of rising gasoline prices.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Ruidoso News.
#1 May 7, 2011
Obama has created the high gas prices. This is what he wants and has said so. So you guys got your "change". Hope you enjoy it, its gonna get alot worse before he get what he wants.
Hong Kong
#2 May 9, 2011
And don't forget the other thing the administration has done that has hurt us. "QE2" has flooded the market with new USD-and the world value has tanked accordingly. In the past few weeks, the USD has lost about 10% of its value against several major currencies, and oil is the first commodity to reflect this fact. There will be more coming
#3 May 9, 2011
Since I work in the oil business, I am somewhat predjudiced on this subject since Obama and his minions have targeted the oil business as an enemy while giving GE a free ride. Fact: The oil business did pay a large amount of taxes while GE got a free ride.
Many of the tax breaks Obama accuses "Big Oil" of having were taken away years ago. Only the smaller independents get the tax breaks taken away from Big Oil. These independents need these tax breaks under the current tax system.
The oil business is a risky business. This is not like making widgets or building something at GE. No one knows whether oil or gas will be discovered until several million dollars are spend to drill a well. Science has come a long way, but it cannot tell you whether oil and gas will be discovered. Otherwise, there would not be so many "dry holes" drilled.
Having said the above, much of this discussion could be solved with a revision of the tax code. Let's get rid of all the tax breaks for every company and lower the tax rate for businesses. Let's bring back the companies using the safety of America who pay no taxes such as GE. Why hasn't Obama gone after GE just to name one company which pays no taxes? Why is he going after the oil companies which pay lots of taxes? Does anyone know the percentage profit that Exxon makes? It will bring things into focus when compared with other industries.
United States
#4 May 9, 2011
A few considerations. Tens of billions each year Are spent by widget makers not knowing if consumers will buy it. There is no successful product fairy. Stockholders are taxed on the exact same sales as the corporation. You seem upset over an inequity in the double taxation rather than the effect of taxation.
The difference for the oil guy is all he has to do is find a product for which others create a demand while most other businesses must address creating demand in addition to design and production and delivery.
Also, how much of big oil is the mere brokering of imports? Sure, the GE green thing is scam, but supporting the supporters is nothing new.
#5 May 9, 2011
...but, but, but, isn't this part of Hopey & Changey?
I otherwise agree.
#6 May 9, 2011
First of all, I am not upset. I agree with some of your points. However, I don't think any industry--and I mean any industry--should be targeted as receiving huge tax breaks which is only partially correct while letting others such as GE escape scrutiny. I will re-state that the oil business paid a lot of taxes and GE paid none.
As for "the oil guy all he has to do is find a product", do you know what all goes into this and how much money it takes to find that product? There is no guarantee of success and only 1 in 7 wildcats actually make commerical wells. These dry holes cost millions of dollars also. However, that is not my main point in all of this.
I don't think our tax system is fair to any of us. I think the tax code has been manipulated by lobbyists, congressmen, and big business to each's benefit. My point was and is that this system needs to be simplified and made more equitable for everyone--even if the oil business does lose these tax breaks which are actually business deductions that I keep hearing about. I want every person and company paying their fair share. That is why I like a flat tax or something similar.
United States
#7 May 9, 2011
Clark, take note - we are in agreement on the tax code/laws. I am also concerned that GE lobbyists will win the argument for GE to return billions of profit dollars from overseas to the US tax free. And people wonder where the jobs are - a number of large companies keep their profit $$$ out of the US.
United States
#8 May 9, 2011
You have just explained the reason big US oil wants nothing to do with development any more regardless of the industry line. Otherwise they would have a similar deal. It is hard to get tax breaks on imported oil.
And yes I do have some idea of the costs all the way down to the archaeological costs and the GIS. The lack of those costs due to the shift to brokering imports is why there is little to deduct. Why burn up your fuel when the other guy is selling his? That is how it is done.
#9 May 9, 2011
Thanks Goodness! I knew we would find common ground on something. Too bad you and I aren't in charge of getting the American taxpayer a fair deal in all of this. I have sent letters to my representatives, but other than Ron Paul, I'm not sure they are listening. Kay Bailey Hutchison is a lost cause (#2 pork barrel recipient), but I still have hopes for John Cornyn.
#10 May 9, 2011
I still agree with some of your points, but forget Big Oil. Over 85% of the wells drilled in the US are drilled by independents. Many of them are small businesses just trying to make a buck. They are the ones who still have the tax incentives and business deductions just like other industries.
From a taxpayer point of view, this business of burning up the other guy's oil is bankrupting us. I don't know whether it is Big Oil, traders, or OPEC sticking it to us, but the bottom line is the same. We need ALL the forms of energy with oil and gas being the main ones for the next 50 years. You still can't put a windmill or battery on a jet plane or a train. Boone Pickens natural gas plan is a good direction until we can develop other alternative forms of energy.

William Haralson wrote a number of reasons we "might" slow down oil drilling in an effort to show that new oil drilling will lower gasoline prices.
The US produces maybe 2% of the world's oil. Production is higher today than it was before the Gulf spill. The US uses over 25% of the world's oil. Do the math Mr. Haralson, there is little impact of your points to lowering gas prices.
If the EPA makes the dune lizard endangered, they will still extract oil from the Permian Basin. From May 1 to May 8 of this year Texas increased it's oil wells drilled by 71, one week. Oil contracts (in fact, the largest) in the Gulf of Mexico are being granted. What's more, I find one source of over 20 jobs in the oil industry from Midland.
Check your facts before you speak. The US is producing more oil than before the Gulf spill. There are wells being drilled each week. Yet, the speculators claim there is the need to raise the price of gasoline and oil.
If the death of Osama meant anything, ask yourself... he did not have oil wells, no gas interest, no business in West Texas... why did the price go down for West Texas crude and not for bulk gasoline?

Well that was an interesting twist at the end, that I certainly wasn't expecting! I know it'll be a while before there is more of this, but I'll say it anyway: I can't wait for more! :D As always, this is a very unique twist of a story, and I love it _

Rosie sees you...
It was like one of those moments from a film where everything moves slow motion in anticipation of the final outcome. I saw her right knee touch the floorboards as she began to tie up a loose lace on her smaller boot. She hadn't yet spotted me as I lay there in catatonic fear. "For god sakes, don't move" I thought to myself. The game was up, she yelled to her counterpart "Reg, REG! She's hiding under the damn bed." I felt a firm grip around my right ankle as I was dragged along the ground towards her and pulled up to standing. Reg raced towards me with handcuffs at the ready whilst Rosie prevented me from bolting. She was right, he reeked of pot, no doubt under the influence right now. If I was going to be apprehended, did it have to be by such a degenerate? The black rings under his fatigued eyes showed me he rarely slept, probably spending much of his time in front of the TV smoking himself half to death. I hated smokers. My father had died 2 years previously from a rather nasty tumour and had always had a hacking cough as far back as I could remember. I loved my father, I hated what he did to himself, and this guy stood just a foot away brought all these old feelings flooding back.
"Let's take her in Rosie" Reg said as he pushed me through the doorway ahead of him exiting the room. I was not going to go quietly that was for sure. My hands being behind my back in cuffs hindered my unwillingness to cooperate which angered me even more. I wanted to use my only free limbs to kick or trip up Reg in front of me as he lead the way, but before I had a real opportunity I felt a sharp pricking pain in my neck, not something caused by a random muscle spasm. I could only summise that Rosie had stuck a hypodermic in me. I felt weak, as whatever I had been injected with coursed its way through my veins and into every cell of my being. My knees buckled, I hit the ground.
Déjà vu. I wake up, and i'm blind. I'm bathed in an intense white light from above, nothing empyrean about this though. I'm cold and still tied up, this time to an old scratched wooden chair. Maybe it's not the first time this chair has had to serve this purpose. It doesn't bear thinking about. Past the wide beam of clinical light overhead I see nothing. I'm at the centre of my world as it spreads three feet around me. Faint voices sound in the background but I cannot make anything out as the grogginess worms it way out of my pores. It sounds vaguely like an argument or disagreement of some kind. My thoughts are cut short as my world is penetrated by another figure. The light is so bright that I can hardly look upwards to see the face, although I am lead to believe by some sixth sense that it is a male. My eyes adjust slightly, he is wearing a shin-length black leather coat, the kind those strange gothic rocker youths might wear along with their long hair and spiked collars. This figure is not like that, he is so much more. Menacing.
I'm bound, and powerless.

Day 16: I'm Good AtMature
Prompt: I'm good at_____.
Result: a rhyme.
I am good at doing nothing.
I can do it all day.
Pat each hour on the head
And send them on their way
I'm a master time-waster
I can dodge work like an ace
Forge excuses hard as Dwarven mithril
Without losing any face
I'm fantastic at procrastination
I'll do it later, I swear!
I see nothing wrong with napping
It's the boredom I can't bear
I am great with self-amusement
I can always make me grin
If I'm lazy but I'm laughing
Is sloth really such a sin?
I am good at doing nothing.
I can do it all day.

Note: PowerSchool is a Student Information System (SIS) provider that integrates with School Data Sync (SDS) and Classroom in Office 365. Using the PowerSchool sync method lets you avoid compiling a set of CSV files and manually extracting the data from the SIS database.
To set up the integration, sign in to Office 365 and set up a sync profile using School Data Sync. Office 365 will then make a direct connection to the SIS using the REST-based APIs provided by PowerSchool.
In this topic:
Synchronize your users by using the PowerSchool import method
Before you start synchronizing with SDS using the PowerSchool Sync method, , read the Overview of School Data Sync and Classroom and make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
An Office 365 for Education tenant.
Global Admin Permissions
The attributes in your PowerSchool SIS selected in the sync profile must not contain any characters shown in this list of invalid characters.
Note: Note: The data that you provide through School Data Sync may be accessible to third-party application providers through their apps, so you should sync only the data that you want to make available to these third parties.
Before you create the sync profile to connect to the PowerSchool SIS , you also need to complete the following initial setup.
Install the REST API plug-in for PowerSchool
Before Microsoft School Data Sync can access data from your PowerSchool server, you have to install an application plug-in on the PowerSchool server and obtain OAuth credentials by following these steps.
On your local computer, create an XML plug-in installation file with following content, and save the file as "plugin.xml".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <plugin xmlns="http://plugin.powerschool.pearson.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation='http://plugin.powerschool.pearson.com plugin.xsd' name="Microsoft School Data Sync" version="1.0.0" description="Plugin for PowerSchool REST API for Microsoft SDS"> <oauth></oauth> <publisher name="Microsoft Corp."> <contact email="email@example.com" /> </publisher> </plugin>
Sign in to the PowerSchool admin portal website using your System Administrator credentials.
On the start page, choose System from the main menu, then go to System Settings > Plugin Management Configuration > Install.
Enter or select the plug-in installation file you just created (.xml), and then choose Install.
The plug-in will appear in the Installed Plugins section on the Plugin Management Dashboard page. Make sure the plug-in is enabled. If it is not, choose the Enable option on the Plugin Management Dashboard page.
Choose Data Configuration to view the OAuth credentials that were generated for the plug-in:
Record the values for the Client ID andClient Secret so you can enter these credentials when you create your School Information Sync profile.
Make sure the REST endpoints are Internetaccessible
Microsoft School Data Sync must be able to reach your school's PowerSchool server. To make sure the server is accessible, open ports 80 and 443 from the Internet to your PowerSchool server.
To validate that the endpoints are set correctly, check that you can open the PowerSchool server website pages from the Internet. For example, in your browser, go to https://partner12.powerschool.com/public/ and http://partner12.powerschool.com/public/.
About AADConnect deployment warnings
If you are configuring School Data Sync for a tenant which is synchronized from onpremises Active Directory through AADConnect, you may notice an increase in the number of Disconnectors shown in your miisclient. This is a result of Office 365 Group being unable to synchronize back to the AADConnect Metaverse and on-premises Active Directory. These warnings do not have any negative impact on your current AADConnect deployment, and only provide an informational note on the resultant sync failure. You should expect these warnings in AADConnect after enabling sync in SDS, as one Office 365 Group is created for each class synchronized through SDS.
Synchronize your SIS data using the PowerSchool sync method
Watch the video: Deploy School Data Sync
After you've installed the plug-in and set up access, create a profile in Microsoft School Data Sync to synchronize your users' information. The steps here will work for most scenarios. (There are some more unusual cases which will need different setup steps, so if your situation doesn't work with these steps, check with your Microsoft contact.)To synchronize your users
In your web browser, go to sds.microsoft.com and then enter the global admin credentials for your Office 365 Education tenant.
If it's your first time logging in and setting up a profile, you must choose to enable/disable SDS and Microsoft Classroom. To enable School Data Sync and proceed with the setup, toggle the School Data Sync switch on the On position.
After you've enabled School Data Sync, choose Add Profile to create an SDS Sync Profile and begin syncing data from your SIS.
Type a profile name in the Enter a name for your profile box.
In the Data extraction section, select PowerSchool API in the Select data source drop-down menu.
In the PowerSchool Connection Details section, enter the appropriate values for your SIS web access URL, client id, and the client secret. Refer to the Prerequisites section of this article for instructions for obtaining the appropriate values.
After the appropriate values are added, choose Test Connection to validate connectivity to the SIS.
In the Data Extraction section, select either Create new users or Sync existing users.
Create new users Select this option if you are not syncing identities from your on-premises Active Directory, or the users in scope for sync are not created within Azure Active Directory already. This option will create new user accounts for users within the PowerSchool SIS.
Sync existing users Select this option if you are syncing identities from your on-premises Active Directory, or the users in scope for sync are already created in Azure AD. This option will not create new user accounts for users within the students and teacher PowerSchool SIS.
If you selected the Create new users option, skip this step. . If you selected the Sync existing users option, select the appropriate Identity matching options from the available drop-down menus. This is where you'll define how to match students and teachers from PowerSchoolto the user accounts in Office 365. Watch the Identity Matching video for additional information on how to select the appropriate source, suffix, and target values, and properly configure the identity matching settings listed below.
Identity Matching Options - Students and Teachers
Select source property This drop-down menu allows you to select the source property from PowerSchool, to be used for Identity Matching.
Secondary Email Secondary Email attribute in PowerSchool(ex. firstname.lastname@example.com)
Student/Teacher Number Student or Teacher Number attribute in PowerSchool(ex. 1234567)
Username Username attribute in PowerSchool(ex. JohnSmith or email@example.com)
Select suffix This drop-down menu allows you to append a domain suffix to the source property selected. All domains added to your tenant will be listed.
Select target property This drop-down menu allows you to select the target property within Office 365, to complete the match between source and target.
UserPrincipalName Logon name of the user (ex. email@example.com)
Mail PrimarySmtpAddress of the user (ex. email@example.com)
mailNickname Exchange Alias of the user (ex. 1234567)
After the Profile Name, Data Extraction Options, and Identity Matching Options are set in place, choose Next.
On the Directory options page, select the appropriate domain for each drop-down list available. If you selected the Sync existing users option in step 7, you will only need to select the appropriate domain for Schools and Sections, since all existing students and teachers already have domains associated with their respective user accounts. This domain will be used as the domain suffix for the Office 365 Group created for each section, unless policy is in place to override this domain setting. You may also assign Classroom licenses to all users within the scope of sync, by checking the Assign Microsoft Classroom licenses checkbox. If you would like to allow SDS to maintain control of the Section/Group display names in O365, do not select the Sync option for Section Group Display Name checkbox. If you prefer that SDS create the group's Display Name based on the initial SDS sync, but allow the teachers to overwrite and maintain a custom display name after the first sync completes, check the second checkbox.
If you selected the Create new users option in step 7, you will need to select the appropriate domain for Schools and Sections, in addition to a domain for teachers, and a domain for students, as shown below. This domain will be used as the domain suffix for the user account created by SDS, for each student and teacher in scope for creation sync.
Only one domain can be entered for teachers, and one domain for students within a single sync profile. If you have objects of those types which must be spread across multiple domains, you'll have to create a separate profile for each set of users (onesync profile per domain).
If you selected the Create new users option in step 7, you also must select the appropriate SKU to assign to each of the newly created Teachers and Students using the drop-down menus shown below. Each available SKU in your Office 365 tenant will be present in the list. You can also choose to license each of these users for Classroom, by checking the checkbox shown below. After you've completed this section of the setup wizard, choose Next.
On the Options to Sync page, select the school year you want to sync using this profile by choosing it within the Select school year dropdown menu.
Tip: Note: You may only select one school year per sync profile, and that school year will start syncing immediately once the profile is enabled for sync, regardless of the start date configured in PowerSchool for that school year. If you want to sync more than one school year, multiple sync profiles are required. To pre-stage a school year, before the current year ends, create a new sync profile with the next school year selected ahead of the school year start date, and delete the profile for the previous school year if/when you are ready to remove last year's objects from the sync scope.
In the Select schools to sync menu, select the schools from your PowerSchool SIS you want to sync under this profile
Under the Select properties to sync section, select any optional attributes you would like to sync for each of the various object types. The required attributes are already selected by default under each object type. After you've added in any optional attribute you want to sync to Azure, choose Next.
On the Summary page, choose Submit to create the profile.
The sync process does some data validation before creating the profile. If there are any errors, you'll have to correct them and then wait for the next sync cycle. Sync cycles run every 10 minutes.
After the sync profile is created, select the Start Sync option to begin syncing the PowerSchool source data to Azure AD.
After all user identities have been synced successfully for the profile, Profile Status changes to Success. If you need to create more profiles, for example, if you have users set up with different domains, repeat these steps for each profile.
Video: How to match source and target attributes for sync
For various examples of matching logic success and failure for sync, watch the Identity Matching video:
SIS data in Office 365 will change when synced
After you complete the first sync in SDS, data in Office 365 will be changed, based on the newly synced information. Changes might be related to a student, teacher, section, or any of the other attributes and objects types set up with School Data Sync. Changes may happen on a daily basis. To make sure changes in the SIS are reflected in School Data Sync and Classroom, data must be updated through the sync process.
All additions are processed and updates made whenever there is a sync, but deletions and certain changes do not occur automatically. This includes the following:
If a student is removed from a class in the SIS, the student is also removed from the class Unified Group in Classroom.
If a teacher is removed from a class, no change occurs in Classroom.
If a new teacher is added to a class, that teacher becomes the group owner, and that teacher is allowed to remove the other teacher, if needed.
If a student is deleted in the SIS, the sync does not delete the Azure Active Directory account for that student.
If a student is deleted in the SIS, the sync does not remove the student from the School's Azure Active Directory.
If classes or schools are deleted in the SIS or removed from the sync profile, the sync does not delete the Class or School group in Azure Active Directory.
If you are syncing directly through PowerSchool SIS, changes are synced automatically on a continuous basis. All you need to do is update the data in your SIS and validate that changes are synced during the next sync cycle, with the exception of the deletes and changes mentioned in the previous list. Currently, PowerSchool sync occurs repeatedly. That is, after one sync completes, the next starts immediately and looks for any changes to sync.
Switching between sync methods
While you can successfully migrate from one sync method to another, we recommend maintaining the sync method initially deployed indefinitely, due to the difficulty associated with maintaining source anchor values through the switch between sync methods. A source anchor is the attribute SDS uses to identify a synced object in both the source and target directory after the initial sync. This source anchor must always be unique, and must never be changed throughout the lifetime of the synced object.
When an organization enables sync, there are 5 objects types that synchronize through School Data Sync. SDS synchronizes Schools, Sections, Students, Teachers, and Rosters. Once an object is successfully synchronized, SDS must keep the object in sync, to continue to synchronize object attribute level updates from the source directory (CSV, Clever, or PowerSchool) to the target directory (Azure AD). The objects types and their corresponding source anchor attributes are detailed below:
Object Type
Source Anchor Attribute (PowerSchool)
Source Anchor Attribute (Clever)
Source Anchor Attribute (CSV)
Clever ID
Clever ID
Clever ID
Clever ID
SIS ID (Section) and SIS ID (User)
Clever ID (Section) and Clever ID (User)
Section SIS ID and SIS ID (User)
Once the source anchor is established upon the initial sync, only certain objects can update their source anchor, while others cannot be changed. This concept is critical if you are considering switching between sync methods.
When transitioning from one SDS sync method to another, the source anchor values for Schools and Sections must always be persisted, to continue to sync each object under the new sync method. Any deviation or change from the original source anchor value will result in objects failing to sync. If the source anchor attribute values are not identical through the switch, the only way to transition from one sync method to the other is to delete the object in Azure AD and then recreate it under the new sync profile, using the new sync method.
When transitioning from one SDS sync method to another, the source anchor values for Students and Teachers can be updated during the switch, on if the user objects is not created through SDS sync, and maintains the identity matching values associated with the previous sync method. For example, if the original sync profile matched the identity for student using the username = userprincipalname matching logic, this same matching logic must be included under the new sync profile and result in an identity match under the new sync profile. Any deviation from the original identity matching logic may result in the sync failure and subsequent failure to update the source anchor value for that respective object.
Finally, when transitioning across sync methods when the new sync method is a CSV file, you must also update the student and teacher SIS ID values in the studentenrollment.csv and teacherroster.csv to reflect the correct SIS ID values of those respective object, if they have changed from the original Sis ID/Clever ID value set under the previous sync profile.

Lezyne RAP 21 Multi Tool
You know the feeling you get when you know you messed up big time Like, for instance, when you're miles from the trailhead, you're stuck without tools, and your bike has stopped rolling Well, if you'd packed the Lezyne RAP 21 Multi Tool, this probably wouldn't be striking a chord. It's loaded up with most every tool imaginable for handling your trailside repairs, and it's all housed in a sleek aluminum package that's robust, and wouldn't look out of place in an industrial art museum. Why get stranded, when you could ride home instead Lezyne designed the RAP 21 to back you up when you're facing down nearly any trailside mechanical, hence the staggering variety of tools it packs. Hex wrenches are a given, and with 2, 2. 5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm sizes, all the normal bases are covered. To accommodate for disc rotors, as well as the growing variety of cockpit components that use a Torx interface, there are T25 and T30 bits. Keeping your derailleurs in line are the Phillips and flat head screwdrivers. A 9 11 speed chain tool helps to avert disaster in the event that your drivetrain comes to bits. Should your wheels go out of round, the RAP 21 has a Mavic MTB, a 3. 22, and 3. 45 spoke wrench. Rounding out the list is a tire lever, open end 8mm and 10mm wrenches, a bottle opener, and the often overlooked, but incredibly handy, disc brake wedge. The final addition is a removable LED light that snaps into the end of the 5mm wrench, which is particularly useful if you get stranded after nightfall. And the whole package comes in at 178g, so you can toss it in your jersey and forget about it until you need it. The Lezyne RAP 21 Multi Tool is available in one size and one color.

Since I hit my head, I've been very inspired to write. So some good came out of my accident! Now that I'm okay with escaping from "real life" for a little while, I have the perfect opportunity to crank out new pages and edits. In two days, I've edited and written about 10K. We'll see how much I can do this spring.
But without further ado, please enjoy this last week's pictures.
Day 272: Students came by and invited me to this Women's Appreciation Dinner for the work I do on campus. They made my day.
Day 273: I tried pickled herring in wine sauce because I will eat anything. And guess what! It was delicious.
Day 274: Eating leftovers from Easter dinner with one of my adopted families. Yummy.
Day 275: We watched Monsters U. I was disappointed by the sequel. The first movie was SO good, this one just didn't do it justice.
Day 276: Sound asleep with my guard dog and Lyci's stuffed bears to keep me company.
Day 277: Don't be fooled by our smiles. We're actually really sad. I hated saying goodbye to my girl.
Day 278: It's spring! It's spring! It's finally here!
And that's this week's update. See you next time. Fair warning, my pictures might be boring ones of my computer screen. After all, I'm writing/editing/reading like a maniac.

Market Moving News: USD/JPY - Jun 6
Usd/jpy - 92.70 ... Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said the U.S. economy is almost strong enough to allow the Federal Reserve to begin raising interest rates. Lockhart indicated 'the time is approaching when it will be appropriate to consider recalibrating interest rate policy. I do not believe that time has yet arrived.' The greenback maintained a firm undertone versus the Japanese yen on the rally in global stock markets. Bids are located at 92.50/55, 92.40 n 92.05/10 with some stops seen below 92.00. On the upside, offers by Japanese exporters are tipped at 92.90/95 with some stops are located abv 93.00.

As well as unusually large catches of anchovies off the Cornish and Devon coastline, there are also large numbers of octopus being landed – what next? A toban is a ceramic dish that the food is cooked and served in and this recipe is from Mark Edwards' latest book, Nobu West.
1-1.5kg octopus, cleaned
1tbsp olive oil
2tbsp ghee or butter
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
16-20 pieces of okra, halved lengthways
8-10tbsp sake
4tbsp yuzu juice, or the juice of 1 lemon
4tbsp dried miso, dissolved in 600ml hot water
Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6.
Remove any hard suckers and the eyes from the octopus and wash thoroughly in cold water. Cut into 2-3cm chunks and dry with kitchen paper. Place the octopus into an ovenproof cooking pot with the other ingredients, except the okra, and cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until it's tender. It's difficult to put a time on braised octopus; sometimes you may find you need to cook it for around an hour. Then add the okra and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or so or until the okra is tender. Serve as a starter or main course.

Georgia Vs. Utah Preview
March 6, 2013
ATHENS-----Eighth-ranked Georgia will compete in Stegeman Coliseum for the final time in 2013 when it faces No. 7 Utah Saturday at 6 p.m.
This marks the final home meet for four Georgia seniors: Kati Breazeal, Noel Couch, Christa Tanella and Shayla Worley. They will be recognized immediately following the meet.
Georgia-Utah History
This marks the 48th all-time meeting between Georgia and Utah with the Gym Dogs holding a 24-22-1 advantage. This is only the 11th dual meet between the two schools, and the Utes have a 6-4 edge.
Utah has won the last three dual meets, including a 197.150-196.950 win in Salt Lake City last year when the Red Rocks were ranked No. 1.
In 2011, Utah rallied from a three-tenths deficit entering the fourth rotation to win in Athens, 195.900-195.800. Georgia's last dual meet win over Utah came in 2009 in Stegeman Coliseum, 197.150-196.725.
No two teams have combined for more NCAA titles than Georgia and Utah. The Gym Dogs have won 10 NCAA titles, while Utah has won nine.
Georgia has posted the highest score on vault and bars in eight out of nine dual meets this season.
In Georgia's last home meet on Feb. 16, the Gym Dogs scored season-highs on vault (49.550) and bars (49.450) for a running total of 99.00 after two rotations, which matches the score Georgia had through two rotations against Michigan on March 14, 2009. The last time UGA had a higher score through two rotations was at the 2008 NCAA Regional at Penn State, when the Gym Dogs posted a 99.075.
Georgia turned in one of its best performances of the season on beam and floor last week at LSU. The Gym Dogs' 49.225 was the second-highest beam score of the year, and the 49.15 on floor was the highest road score on that event.
Chelsea Davis has finished first on bars in nine out of 10 meets, including a 9.9 or higher in each of the last eight meets. She has been ranked No. 1 on that event for five straight weeks.
Dating back to last season, a Georgia gymnast has placed first on bars in 14 of the last 16 meets. The only exception was the SEC Championship last year when Kat Ding tied for second.
With two meets remaining in the regular season, Georgia came in at No. 8 in this week's top-25. The Gym Dogs improved their RQS to a 196.725 following last weekend's meet at LSU. Utah is No. 7 with a 196.740.
In the event rankings, Georgia is No. 3 on bars (49.385), No. 6 on vault (49.335), ninth on beam (49.090) and No. 12 on floor (49.145).
Individually, Chelsea Davis remained at No. 1 on the uneven bars with a 9.935 RQS, and Brittany Rogers is tied for fifth with a 9.905. On vault, Brandie Jay is sixth with a 9.910, followed by Lindsey Cheek at No. 16 (9.895) and Rogers, who is tied for 19th with a 9.890.
On the balance beam, Shayla Worley is tied for seventh at 9.890, while Kaylan Earls is tied for 17th with a 9.865.
Up Next
Georgia will travel to Raleigh, N.C., for the regular season finale at NC State on March 17. It will be the Gym Dogs' first trip to NC State since the 2009 NCAA Regional.

Looking for your dream home and not sure which mortgage program option is right for you? There are a lot of options available when it comes to financing your home purchase, and an experienced mortgage lender will be able to advise you on which programs may be best for you depending on your unique financial circumstances. One mortgage option you might not have heard of is what's known as "graduated payment mortgages".
What is a graduated payment mortgage loan?
Graduated payment mortgage loans, or a GPM loan, are mortgage loans which features lower monthly payments at the front end of the loan that gradually increase for a set period of years until you reach the final payment amount which will be due for the remainder of the lifetime of the loan.
How do graduated payment mortgages work?
Graduated payment mortgages function as their name describes: for a determined period of time your monthly mortgage payment is lower and increases on a set schedule for a certain number of years until the "lower introductory rate period" expires. For example, on a 30-year loan you may have a graduated schedule on the first 5 years of the loan. Your payment will be a low initial rate for the first year of the mortgage which will then gradually increase for the next 4 years of the loan. At the end of the first 5 years of the loan your monthly mortgage obligation will be fixed at the new amount which will be higher than it had been for the previous 5 years but which will not increase additionally each month for the remainder of your loan term.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a graduated payment mortgage loan?
These mortgage loans are a great option for prospective homebuyers who may not have the income today to support a higher mortgage payment, but can realistically expect their income to increase over time to support a higher payment. Younger professionals starting out in their career may not be able to afford the higher monthly payment while in the first few years of building their career, but once they gain seniority and salary increases in their profession they will be able to afford the higher monthly mortgage payment. Having a graduated payment mortgage can mean more home up front than you might otherwise have been able to qualify for or afford, and may save you a move down the line when you may find yourself needing a larger home due to the addition of children to your family.
The risk to a graduated payment mortgage is overestimating your future earnings. If you purchase a home and the corresponding mortgage is one you can afford at the low initial monthly term but your prospects for job advancements and salary raises do not pan out as you had expected, you may find yourself with a monthly mortgage payment you have trouble keeping up with. However, in this case, it may be possible to refinance your loan to one that is more comfortably affordable for you and your family.

By Jerry Mitchell, Special for USA TODAY
David Gray must be one of the hardest-working singer/songwriters on the planet these days.
His tour for last fall's Draw the Line album hasn't ended, and on Tuesday he's releasing a double disc of new material titled Foundling.
The 42-year-old Brit, who has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide, first burst into American consciousness a decade ago with fourth album White Ladder.
Foundling is the second release from what Gray calls "a very fertile recording session" that gave birth to Draw.
After he and the band finished ripping through a rocker in the studio, "I'd start to play something quietly, and it sounded like a real relief."
Once the session ended, he gathered up all the bare-bones songs he'd written and discovered less was more. "These are some of the most dynamic recordings I've ever done," he says.
A Moment Changes Everything is his most infectious single since 2000's Babylon: "The summer sky is blushing pink/The heart is running out of sync/Could this just be the day, I think/When anything is possible."
But promises of possibility often clash with reality. In Holding On, he talks of grabbing hold of the world, even as it all slips away: "We are just passing ghosts, honey/Vapors of joy and hurt."
Gray remains an underrated writer of love songs, perhaps because he never sugarcoats his feelings. "Love is dramatically misrepresented 95% of the time in our culture, so I want to paint it as I feel it," he says. "I cry it from the rooftops."
In We Could Fall in Love Again Tonight, he aches about love and limbo: "What kind of existence?/To want you so much/And only feel the distance/Each time when we touch."
Married for 17 years, Gray says he wishes he "could fall in love again, but it's hard to make that happen. You do your best getting the flame to flicker back to life."
Through his music and his muse, he's found revival.
"Pledging yourself to music and to life itself is transformative," he says. "You have to die, and you're reborn. There's a constant shedding of self to find self."
In so doing, he says, you leave yourself naked and open to carping by critics — something he says he never reads.
He's finishing his U.S. tour by teaming with soulful singer/songwriter Ray LaMontagne. On Aug. 22, the pair will perform in Nashville, still reeling from the May flood, and donate a portion of their proceeds to Habitat for Humanity.
At some point after Gray's tour ends this year, he's planning a follow-up tour — this time to show off music from Foundling.
"I want to make it very quiet and acoustic," he says. "We'll use cellos and a real piano. It will be half the volume of a rock show."
He still enjoys performing but is happy to get home to his wife and two young children.
Being a father "deepens your relationship with your world," he says. "Anybody who has been parent knows that having a child includes a certain amount of compromise and unbelievable enchantment. It's had a profound effect on me as a person."
Extensive touring comes at a price, he says, but "I'm trying to achieve some kind of unachievable balance."

Chapter 3Mature
Everley's bed was hay, piled high in the barn. And so well did he sleep that he didn't notice the curtain of sunlight wash over him, or the stirring of creatures around him. At long length, groggy with a full nights' worth of sleep, he returned hazily to consciousness. He blinked his eyes several times, clearing his vision, then sat bolt upright in sudden fright. A pair of birds perched on the trusses above him flew noisily into the sunlight raining down from holes in the roof. A family of barn cats fled at his sudden movement. Crickets halted their songs.
Everley swung his head around at the noises, uncomprehending. Where were the other combatants sneaking upon him to steal his belongings? Where were the Slavers dressed in heavy armor come to beat him for his laziness?
They were gone—left far behind along with the city. He was in an old barn. He had to remind himself of this. It was like waking into a dream. All of it seemed surreal, made more-so by the intensity of the sun beaming down at him through the cracks in the boards so high ahead. He never recalled the sun blazing down with such light before.
A soft, helpless mewing of creatures brought Everley's attention away from the sunlight above. To his left, as he turned his head more slowly he saw the family of barn cats returning to their home in another pile of old hay not far from where he slept. Four or five little ones, utterly helpless to the world around them, ambled around aimlessly whilst the fat mother slinked back towards them, all the while mindful of their large new neighbor.
This simple exchange between the felines he watched fascinated Everley. Never before had he seen the interactions of simple creatures beyond the primitive actions shared between slaves and Slavers. Here in this barn, ignorant of the world around them, rest this family removed from turmoil, free to do their own will.
It was laziness, perhaps, that they had the luxury of lying around without having to defend themselves from predators. But as the mother was able to bear and raise children, Everley wondered which had the right of it: the strengthened brutes defending their very lives on a daily basis, honing their skills, or the pregnant bitches far removed from the world to raise young.
Everley could attack them and prove himself the better. He could show the world that living always in fear of one's life and exercising one's own abilities was better than the lax behaviors of rearing children. He was monstrously larger than them, after all.
And so Everley stood slowly, the old hay sticking to his wide, naked back and leather loincloth. He stood, stretching and taking his time in his confidence. As he did so, his stomach growled, reminding him of another purpose in proving himself the better over this fat, lazy feline those kittens called mother. It had been so very long since he tasted fresh meat.
Everley approached, step by single step, and the mother eyed him angrily. She hissed, raising her heckles and inflaming her tail. She backed away, wrathful, hissing all the while, then eventually leapt behind the hay pile, leaving her defenseless babies all alone. They were unable to flee—unable to even understand the need to flee just yet.
Everley squatted over them, leaning down low on one paw to watch their reactions. The kittens, five of them Everley saw now, ambled near blind in a tight group and simply mewed hungrily at him instead. It didn't matter that he wasn't their mother, nor even a potential enemy. They were hungry, thus they demanded sustenance from him. And who was Everley to cater to the needs of these creatures? How dare they demand any service from him! He had just left tyrants who had forcefully demanded everything upon him!
He could kill them for their insolence, he knew. Everley could lift all of them in one single paw and crush the life from each of them. The mother could do nothing but watch from her hiding place where she had fled.
But they were ignorant of this, too. Everley reached his paw down at them, and they nuzzled it and feebly tried to bite at his finger as if trying to suckle it. Perhaps they could not tell the difference between the fur of their mother and the fur of his paw. Perhaps they didn't think to even care. He was there, so they suddenly loved him for it and treated him as their mother.
Such strange creatures, these.
Deciding to leave his challenge hanging in the air, Everley arose and strode from the barn.
He crossed the derelict field, entered into a stream, stripped, and bathed. As he lay down on the river's grassy bank, the feeling of water running over his entire body was invigorating. It was chilled only enough to where he could feel his entire body respond. He dunked his head underwater, causing him to feel as alive as he did upon the arena floor, fighting for his life.
His fur was dirty and matted. Lines streaked through his fur across his body, parting it to either side like miniature canyons. These were his scars from battle, the deepest of them stretching across his chest and a few lighter ones punctuating his face. His leg bore one such gash stripped clean of fur. It had healed not so long ago when a great big oaf of a Horsekin plunged in a lucky strike of his blade. He remembered that Horsekin's name was Conall. And that he was a half-wit.
Everley lay just under the water, exposed for the world to see, while he looked up at the sun filtered through the water he lay underneath. Submerged, he thought of times not so long ago when his life was normal and he wasn't being thrown headlong into this new life, wherever it should take him.
He tested how long he could hold his breath under the water, for no better reason than he could. They had never provided him this much water in the pits under the arena where he lived. A bucketful of warm, dirty water a week was what they allotted him. And if you weren't careful, some fool of a Savage would splash the entire thing on himself before you could bath with it. Or if he were desperately parched, he might try to drink it.
Here in this stream, the water was endless. It was cool to his touch, and the sun above warm on his fur. He began to see why in a world like this, a world of freedom, a simple, pregnant cat could afford to be lazy.
He stayed in that water a great long while until his stomach eventually urged him to go wandering. He emerged, his fur soaked and dripping wet. Gone was the soil and dirt he carried from the arena; his fur seemed to actually change color in the sun—from a dirty, dark brown to a lighter, almost radiant tan. He reacquired his long loincloth, scoffing for a moment at how filthy it was compared to his body now, then set out for the woods.
The creatures of the wild, much like the cat in the barn, refused to meet his challenges. He strode between the trees of the nearby forest, roaring heartily at the air around him and waiting stoically for any prey to face him.
They never did. Any wildlife that may have been in the area fled at the noise he made. Birds scattered upon his approach. Squirrels shimmied away up trees. Nothing larger than that even appeared into his view.
He stayed in that forest until the sun was well overhead. At times he stood and waited, other times he ambled aimlessly about. Leaves and twigs cracked and snapped under hoof. He enjoyed the sensation, and the power he had to crush foliage and branches under his weight. But, similar to when he was running from the city the day before, his exploits weren't assisting him in his endeavors. Any creatures that might have been in the area heard his approach and were long gone before Everley could ever see them.
Frustrated and hungry, Everley slouched out of the woods. The forest was too terrified of him to meet his challenges, and yet he was the one who had lost for not having found and slain any food. What a strange place this was, with its own odd rules. His victory against the forest caused him to lose by not eating. Perhaps the years in the arena had skewed his view of the world.
So Everley retreated back across the tall weeds of the field to approach the small homestead next to the barn. He pushed on the door, causing the lock to snap apart under his weight. He ducked through the doorway, remaining slightly hunched over in order to fit through the house.
He found the kitchen dusty and covered in spider's webs. A quick exploration of cupboards yielded packs of flour with mice holes in them, decayed fruits, and bags of salt, sugar, and pepper dust: all untouched by time. He drew them out, opening each and sampling them on his finger. The arena had never afforded them spices on their meats. The sensation was new, and the flavors interesting. The salt was bitter by far, but the sugar and pepper dust were intriguing so he kept sampling them like a child enjoying candy.
Back out in the yard, Everley paced the borders of the farm land to find wild things he could eat. Apples and pears hung plump and in season, which Everley grabbed handfuls of. Rows of greens grew from the soil in lines, which Everley pulled up and sampled experimentally. Beets, carrots, and horseradish he found waiting for him. He wasn't concerned about washing the vegetables first: this was perhaps the first clean soil he had eaten in his life.
Later on, he found vines of grapes and strawberries growing wild.
Full of the wild things he had found to eat, Everley returned to the stream to lie underneath the water and soak in its refreshing chill.
As the sun began to once again hang low, he returned to the barn and the family of cats he found within. He stepped lighter this time, mindful of the birds above and the mice hiding in the corners. He sought to disturb the wild things less with his presence this evening, though he couldn't name his motivation for doing so. Returning to his claimed bed of hay, Everley lounged away the remaining day—the first day of his freedom. He lounged it away like the cats he watched not so far away. The mother eyed him back, but apparently didn't find him to be such a threat lately. She allowed her kittens to feed and would go out to hunt periodically.
A day like this would cause him such severe beatings in the arena. But not here. Everley looked forward to feeding off the plants and doing nothing once again tomorrow, and the day after and all the days after that. He could live like this for the rest of his days, never having to do an ounce of effort again in his life and be happy.
He slipped his eyes shut as the light failed. He drifted into blissful and dreamless sleep upon his heavenly bed of hay.
The following day, however, would prove to be much more eventful.
The day was marred even as Everley woke by the sounds of distant shouting. His eyes shot wide open in an instant as he recognized the type of creatures making that shouting: Slavers. They had come for him. After only a single day, they were coming to take him back already.
Everley would die before he left this world of streams, rivers, and endless relaxation. He shot to his hooves in an instant, paws balled into fists. He wished he had a weapon on him.
The birds themselves seemed to feel the tension growing in the air and took flight. Even the feline mother, the very one who had abandoned her kittens as this great big bullkin approached, now dragged her kittens away in her mouth, one by one. She tucked them around a distant corner and out of sight.
Nothing stirred. The wild things he had enjoyed and grown accustomed to hearing were absent. They must have known trouble was coming.
Everley strode to the entrance, peeking around the corner to judge direction and numbers. He guessed their numbers to be around six. And they approached directly from the west. They were behind the tree line yet so Everley saw nothing but the scattering of birds as they approached with their shouts and their loud armor.
They were close now—nearing the edge of the property. Everley watched intently with eyes squinted as the tree line became disturbed. The bushes lining the fields began to shake, and danced aside as they...
No. Everley leaned forward, trying to concentrate on what he saw. What emerged from the tree line was no army of Slavers seeking his head upon a stick, but a Savage. Another of his kind. And young—so very young.
She was a felinekin, her fur dark against the backdrop of weeds she ran through. Everley was shocked by what he saw. How could any other Savages have fled that city behind and made it so far? How could a Savage so young have made the journey? And how could a woman, no, a little girl have made the journey on her own?
But no, Everley saw that he was mistaken. The tree line ejected another such Savage, also felinekin, who ran just behind her. This one was taller, older, and also female. It had been a long time indeed since Everley had witness a woman, little lone two women running directly towards him. They must be after the shelter of his barn.
And behind them erupted the army of Slavers, giving a close chase and closing in quickly.
Through the fields they ran, as fast as their legs could take them. The younger ran quicker, ahead of all the rest, but with her head turned back constantly. The older ran steadily forward, turning back only occasionally—Everley guessed that her cat-like ears could tell her everything she needed to know about the proximity of her pursuers.
They had entered the derelict fields now. The girl was well ahead, and the other was running some distance behind. The six lightly armored Slavers were nearly upon her. Closer they ran on foot, closer did their spears and swords get to biting into her pelt.
Everley heard the taller one cry out, seeing the inevitable even before it happened. "Portia!" Her voice carried with it a desperation that only youth could portray. From that single exclamation, not so far from where Everley watched in hiding, he could hear her panic and despair for a loved one.
Their fur, calico grays and browns, were very similar, leading Everley to believe that they were related. But he didn't get much more opportunity to witness the older one's fur before: "Fayre! Run!" she exclaimed before the Slavers were upon her. They knocked her forward, causing her to sprawl out hard against the soil before Everley lost sight of her amongst the tall weeds.
"No! Portia!" exclaimed the younger, Fayre, as she watched in horror at what the Slavers were doing to her behind the weeds. She had stopped running, so typical really, and had turned back to watch uselessly. Three of the Slavers ran after to pursue her, and they wouldn't be long until they were upon her position. All too late she began to run again, clearing the fields and crossing the short grassy yard—directly to Everley's position.
"Gods' damn it, she's leading them directly here!" Everley exclaimed angrily before pulling away from the door. His ears told him everything he needed to hear about their approach. He could expect to have company within seconds.
He looked around in quick desperation for an impromptu weapon and found, laying half concealed beneath a pile of hay, a long metallic shaft, bent at the center. He pulled it free in a rush, disturbing the hay pile above it. It looked somewhat like an implement used in a larger farming machine but he had no time to study it further.
He turned back to the door, the thick metal rod in his head, just as this felinekin half his size rushed blindly forward into the barn and stopped dead in her tracks, staring up with stupid confusion directly into his face. The shock of seeing another of her kind in here, where she was clearly expecting to hide briefly then be taken away by the Slavers regardless, was clearly so great that she had forgotten that she was still being pursued.
She didn't forget for long. The Slavers charged through the doorway, just as blind as the young felinekin. The first one wrapped his arms around her torso, keeping her arms down behind his grip and crushing her body with his armor. She jumped up in fright and surprise, then tried to shake him off. He was much stronger, preventing her squirming from doing any good.
What they were both forgetting in that instant was that three feet in front of them stood a very pissed off nine foot tall bullkin with a large metal rod in his hands. The Slaver looked up, the felinekin securely in his grip, to stare just as stupidly into Everley's face as the felinekin had.
That was before a quick and forceful swipe of Everley's metal shaft twisted his head around. His grip loosened on the felinekin and his body fell to the ground in a clash of metal.
The other two Slavers chose that moment to charge headlong into the barn, not expecting an enormous bullkin to be charging right back at them. The echoes of metal clashing onto metal rang throughout the yard, causing the other three Slavers to look up in the direction of the barn. They called out, but received no response.
After a brief moment, Everley heard them approach the barn, bringing their prisoner with them as they came.
Everley fixed a stern look toward the young felinekin before pointing with his blood-streaked rod to the back of the barn. She stood there, fixed on him like he were some kind of mythical being, and didn't move. Irritated, Everley strode towards her and forcefully shoved her in the direction he had intended her to go. Picking up on the signal at last, she ran and hid behind the hay and pallets of lumber.
Everley could gauge the progress of the other three outside by listening to the cries of the captured felinekin.
"Fayre! Fayre, run!" she cried over and over again until the Slavers beat her into silence. They were nearby, just beyond the wall of the barn Everley reckoned. He stood just inside the doorway, back to the wall with his improvised weapon at the ready.
The first of the Slavers peeked his head cautiously into the barn to look. Everley slammed it down into the ground with a quick swipe of his rod.
Foregoing the captured felinekin, the other two charged in with swords pulled. Everley faced them off, beating aside their meager sword thrusts with three times their strength. Their swords dashed easily off of his steel rod, rendering them almost useless. They stuck down at him in unison, and Everley used the bent part of the rod to trap their blades on the ground for a moment, long enough to swipe at both of them with a hardened jab. They staggered back from his punch, their swords left in the dirt, and Everley proceeded to beat them over and over again, through their steel and leather armor, through their metal helmets and breastplates. He brought his rod down on them without mercy, beating each of them until blood spurt from beneath their armor with each blow and the dirt itself was dirtied with crimson. He beat them until their helmets were disfigured, their chest cage was shattered inward and their limbs were broken and twisted. He beat them like they had beat him, ruthlessly and without mercy, as often as they liked. He did to them a small measure of vengeance like he wished he could do to the rest of their horrible race.
The two Savages stood nearby, holding each other close as they watched in horror while Everley exacted his animalistic revenge upon these people. Everley only stopped when these was little more than a fleshy, bloody pulp inside a beaten metallic shell. Heaving great breaths, his eyes afire with rage, he dropped his gored weapon and turned to the two cowering felinekin. Where once they had feared capture at the hands of their pursuers, they now feared even more-so this raging demon covered in the blood of his enemies who had just finished beating their corpses in his rage.
And it looked like that rage was not yet subsided.
Everley strode suddenly towards them, and they reflexively took a step backward.
"Thank you for... uhh..." The older felinekin trembled as she spoke, terrified.
They were afraid of him. As well they should be. Was he not Everley, the mighty bullkin who has bested even the Slavers of Stonetide and had defied all odds in running away to his freedom? Should they not be fearful of him?
Everley looked down at them, seeing them stand before him small, defenseless, cowering at his stature. It had been so long since he had had the pleasure of even seeing a woman, so very long since he had felt a woman around him. And here two of them had walked right into his new life, bringing with them the opportunity to beat a few Slavers to death. Surely the gods were blessing him this day!
He lurched forward, casting the younger one aside. He grabbed a hold of the older felinekin's arms, pushing her back and down into a pile of hay, pinning her body down underneath his.
Even more terrified, she began to shiver in fright beneath his frame, and feeling her trembling underneath his body only fueled him all the more.
"What-what are you doing? You can't do this!" cried the felinekin in desperation.
"I can't?" raged Everley, his paws running up and down her feminine body. The dirty traveling dress she wore was thin and lifted aside easily. "I can do as I please!"
"But you saved us! Why are you doing this?"
"You ran here to me!" shouted Everley, drops of spittle flying from his bovine lips as he shouted. "You brought those Slavers here, to my home! You intruded upon me in my new life! And it has been far too long since they gave us any women to have in the pits underneath that stinking arena! Do you have any idea how long it's been for me? You ran here to me, and you shall not deny me!"
Overpowered, the bullkin had her pinned at the arms and legs with four times her weight. She could do nothing but tremble, looking down to watch as his dirty paws trailed up her thighs and his loincloth lifted itself higher than she thought possible for a man.
"What about Fayre?" cried the felinekin. Everley glanced over briefly to see the younger standing only feet away, knees bent and trembling as her hands squirmed together in front of her. She stood there, only watching, too terrified to act or speak or run away.
"She can watch!" Everley exclaimed. "I bet the bitch is raw, anyway! Needs a few lessons on how to..."
Everley laid there, his face lifting up to focus on something a hundred yards away. He stopped moving, and his sentence hung unfinished in the air. His expression turned suddenly distant as the rage and blood lust drained slowly from his face.
His mind turned itself back to a distant time, when they were all still in the pits beneath the arena. Whenever someone acted up in the prison where they kept their fellow Slavers, they would always threaten them with a visit to the Savages' pit beneath the arena where they would spend a night. This threat usually kept them in line. But sometimes it didn't, and the guards had to act on it. These were special days for the Savages. The guards would open the portcullis and throw down the offending Slaver amongst their midst for the Savages to do whatever they wished. If they were lucky, it was a woman, and they would spend their entire night filling her holes to their satisfaction. And since it was months and sometimes years going between these visits, the many Savages always had quite a lot of 'satisfaction' to get out of their system, often times repeatedly.
If the offending Slaver was a man, the Savages would either spend all night beating that man to a pulp in frustration for not being a woman, or find a hole anyway and start pretending.
It was rare for a man to live the night in their presence.
But on one night in particular, the Slavers had given them a special present: a Slaver girl, not much older than the girl standing away from him in the barn. She was young, supple, and full of spite. It was clear that she was a rebellious one, which was no doubt how she had found her way down in that pit in the first place.
She tried fighting at first, but resisting against a dozen muscular Savages three or four times her weight only served to excite them further. An energetic and youthful one, she was a special treat for all of them, and Everley was just as keen as Conall, and Ghoulbine, and every other Savage down there to have their way with her and pump her full of spunk and manmeat. Two or three at a time, they forced open holes not meant to spread that far and beat down upon her without mercy. Her shouts and her tears did nothing to slow men who had been without for so long. Nothing could have stopped them. Any of them. They filled her, drained their sacks, then left her open for the next one in line. After a little while she only lay there and took it, hoping they would finish soon and leave her to crawl slowly into a corner and die. But the thirsts of the Savage men were unquenchable, and they returned to drink several times that night, even if they had shot everything they could and had nothing more to give. They still kept on with the motions, mindful that it would be months or years before they would get another one like this.
They all had her—Everley was no exception. He had her just as hard and as fierce as the others. Who was to blame? Was that not why they threw the troublemakers down at the Savages? So she could be raped and beaten into submission to fear and obey the law?
Long into the night the abuse lasted. Eventually, everyone could no longer keep the motions up and sleep finally overtook them all. Come morning, the earliest risers went to her and found her lying against the wall of their cave. They prodded her, manmeats out and ready for a return session this morning. But when they turned her over, she was cold and dead.
They had killed her in their greed and lust. Beaten to death by men three times her size. And they had all taken part, Everley knew. He was not beyond the judgment of her death. Slaver or no, she had been so young—a beautiful creature, really, Everley realized in the light of the morning. Long blond hair flowed out from her into the dirt. And her skin was soft, silken and perfect but left bruised and beaten by their own abuse. She had been beautiful, so full of life and vigor and energy. And they all took that from her. Everley laid beside her, smelling her hair and feeling her arm where the bruising was the least. He looked at that face, a face marred and beaten and abused by him and everyone else there, and he looked upon it to remember it. He lay there for hours studying her face, her body, to remember it before the Slavers came and hauled her corpse away. He would remember what they did to her. Even if the others counted her as just another plaything to abuse, Everley would remember this.
And as they took her the night previous, as Ghoulbine started in with the abuse, his eager manmeat held inches before her then untouched flower, back when she still had the will to fight them, he had cried out:
"I bet the bitch is raw, anyway! Needs a few lessons on how to hump a man right! What do you say boys? Let's teach her how real men do it!"
Bringing Everley back to the present—to the girl lying trapped underneath him, same as the poor girl they had all humped to death back in the dank, foul pits beneath the arena. That was no way for a woman to die. And this was no way for him to act now. Doing this would make him no better than Ghoulbine, or any of the thousands of Slavers around the city that raped and abused their Savage slaves daily, maybe even hourly.
He looked down at her face and saw the face of the dead girl, with lifeless eyes staring back at him, accusing him of murdering her, just the same as the rest of the men he hated so much had also killed her.
Morose, feeling suddenly foolish, Everley's head hung low with guilt in his eyes. He backed away, releasing the girl and slumping down on the dirt nearby. The felinekin lay there a moment longer, then quickly jumped to her lower paws and ran to the younger felinekin. She grabbed her than ran for the door, stopping just long enough to deliver a surprisingly painful kick to Everley's loincloth on the way out. He grimaced, holding himself until the pain subsided. By the time he looked up, they were long gone.
Escaped Savages no different from he, Savages he had just rescued from certain capture, had just fled from him in fear and anger. Suddenly he was no longer as proud of himself in his new life here.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Everley arose. He brushed the dirt from his legs with care, then took a good look around the barn. He knew more Slavers would come seeking these six he had slain. In his head, he thanked the barn and its creatures for tolerating his existence for as long as they had. But he knew that his time here had ended. It felt like it was time to move on from this place, to continue further from the city before he was overwhelmed with Slavers come to take him back.
And so he left, taking with him memories of his first home as a free man. Gathering with him fresh-growing food, he walked slowly and methodically into the wilderness, continuing east. He walked in the footsteps of the felinekin, following them into the wild.

EUR/USD: "Flag" points to possible new high
There's a "Double Bottom" pattern, which led to the current upward price movement. Therefore, bulls are likely going to get a resistance at 1.1228 in the short term. If a pullback from this level happens, there'll an opportunity to have a downward correction in the direction of a support at 1.1181.
We've got another "Double Bottom" on the one-hour chart, which has been confirmed by the last "Flag" pattern. So, the price is likely going to reach a resistance at 1.1225 during the day. However, if we see a pullback from here, bears will probably try to get a support on the 34 Moving Average.
