Steamboat Springs Among the 20 brightest stars in the sky, there are only two red supergiant stars. One is the star Betelgeuse, visible in the wintertime as the shoulder star of Orion the Hunter. The other is a star named Antares, visible right now in the early summer sky as the heart of Scorpius the Scorpion.
The name Antares comes from the Greek words meaning "the rival of Ares." Ares was the Greek equivalent of Mars, the Roman mythological god of war. Antares and Mars shine with an unmistakable reddish color, and beginning sky watchers sometimes make the mistake of misidentifying Antares as the planet Mars. One way to tell the difference is to recall the old rule of thumb that stars twinkle and planets don't. After all, the song says "twinkle-twinkle little star" not "twinkle-twinkle little planet."
Antares is one of the largest stars known in our galaxy. It is in the advanced stages of its life and has ballooned outward to a size 800 times larger than our Sun. If placed at the sun's location in the center of our solar system, Antares would swallow the orbits of all of the inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Antares is a cool, red supergiant star nearing the end of its life. Within its core, Antares is furiously fusing helium atoms into carbon atoms, a sure sign of advanced age in a giant star. Enjoy Antares now because it probably doesn't have much time left to live. One day, in the not-too-distant future, Antares will have fused all of its helium into carbon, all of its carbon into silicon, and all of its silicon into iron. The iron core of the Scorpion's heart suddenly will collapse inward under its own tremendous weight and trigger a catastrophic supernova explosion. If anything remains of the Scorpion's heart after this colossal explosion, it will either be a rapidly spinning neutron star, or a bottomless pit in the fabric of spacetime called a black hole. Either way, the heart of the Scorpion will be dead.
A beautiful globular star cluster called M4 lies in the same binocular field as Antares. This swarm of tens of thousands of stars lies 7,200 light years from Earth. Look for it just to the west of Antares. You might also glimpse another fainter globular star cluster, NGC 6144, just north of Antares.
Antares itself is a binary star, with a fainter green companion that can be glimpsed through a telescope of aperture 6-inches or larger. The two stars orbit each other once every 878 years.
Look for Antares almost due south in the sky about 11:00 p.m. on July evenings.

The ChallengeMature
8 The Challenge
There was a hushed silence in the dimly lit bayt, of Sheikh Rashidi. The still broken only by the sibilant movements of Kedor's talwars, as he heedlessly moved through the patterns of the Dance of the Rakhshana. The tent's occupants sat entranced as his steel blades wove a flickering pattern of death. The spellbound crowd was ripped from their reverie as the tent flaps were thrown back, bright sunlight spilling across the carpeted floor of the tent. Kedor stood still, swords crossed at his waist. His back to the flap-way, he did not see the champion make his grand entrance.
The hunched ogre that ducked through the opening brought a loud hissing intake of breath from Kedor's companions. His scarred visage bore a loathsome sneer. Dressed in crudely tanned sheepskins, this eight foot hulk of muscles and scars carried a huge, nastily pitted and chipped long sword and woven wicker shield. Filthy silken pantaloons tucked into low hardily constructed boots completed his garb.
Shikha, loosening her blades in their sheaths, tattoos darkening noticeably, leaned toward Tabitha and growled, "These scars are not from the battlefield, they are from the duel. An armored warrior from the battlefront wears not the same scars an unarmored duelist displays. This does not bode well."
Clapping his hands, the freshly animated Sheikh stood. "At last Heydar of the Zuz'im arrives. Pup you may have bitten off more than you can chew this time. When your uncle Ea-Nasir was killed on the borders of Argob battling the Rapha'im; I sent a call to all of the tribes for a new champion. Remembering my meeting of your father's champion, Kay, and much impressed, I had thought to acquire a Zuz'im champion of my own. After all they are the most martially accomplished of the giant tribes. Heydar obliged by defeating all comers. There would be no shame should you retire now, before it is too late. Heydar has killed all his challengers."
A faint smile touched the corners of Kedor's mouth. His thick muscles flexed as he spun, raising his left sword above his head, tip pointed toward the grizzly giant. His right, he held vertically before his face. Tensing, the champion came forward in a shuffling lope, sword lifted for a smashing overhand blow, shield held just below eye level. Kedor stood, his sweat sheened, bronze skin glowing in the bright splash of sunlight. He remained motionless, as if he would receive the blow.
As it fell though, Kedor flowed like swirling smoke out of its path. Delivering no strike of his own, he stood poised once again. Heydar, following Kedor's movement, tried to catch him unaware with a sweeping backhand slash. Kedor simply dropped to his knees, deflecting the blow over his head with the flat of his right-hand blade. He thrust for the giant's knees with his left, testing.
Heydar growling, caught his thrust with the lower edge of his shield. Heydar's ripping forehand hack found only carpet, as Kedor fluidly rolled backward avoiding his hurried strike. As Kedor gracefully came to his feet, his left talwar flashed, drawing a shallow gash on the back of the champion's sword arm. Incensed at the sight of his blood spattering the carpets, Heydar hunched down behind his woven shield. Launching a series of fast chopping strikes right and left, he wove his sword back and forth looking for an opening. The young prince backed step by step catching each smashing blow with the flats of his talwars, silently thankful of their wootz steel construction.
Realizing Heydar could keep this up 'til he tired, he stepped forward catching the giant's blade in the raised arch of his crossed swords, stopping it dead. Feeling Heydar advance to ram him with his raised shield, Kedor back slashed with his right hand. His blow took three inches off the top of the shield as he side stepped, scoring another shallow cut across the shoulder of the giant's shield arm. Ducking and rolling again under another whistling rip from the champion, he drew a talwar across the giant's rib cage in passing. Kedor came to his feet some distance from the angry Heydar. For a moment they stood eyeing each other, Kedor calm and poised, Heydar dripping blood and panting.
Kedor smiled, beginning the Dance. With his blades weaving in a glittering hypnotic pattern, he commenced to circle the giant. Heydar, intending to end it all in one mighty strike, let out a paralyzing bellow and stepped forward, sword raised. Kedor, flowing under the champion's attack, thrust his left blade into the giant's armpit. Piercing the lung and leaving his sword lodged, he continued to move. He struck back with his right, hamstringing the astonished giant. Heydar dropped to the ground spewing blood from his mouth and nose. The giant lay suffocating on the carpeted floor of the tent, sword jutting from his body. A stunned silence fell over the watching crowd.
"YES!" Arioch's elated cry shattered the hush. "YES, YES!" He pumped his fist into the air.
Kedor looked to Shikha, who responded simply with a short nod of approval, her jade eyes gleaming.
Tabitha, her cornflower blue eyes never leaving Kedor, appeared to be in shock.
She quietly ruminated, "Perhaps I should stay purely to see what comes of this. This arrogant buffoon certainly has hidden his strengths and talents well! Even after the hareem, I had no idea he was capable of this."
"That was incredible!" Arioch crowed, practically dancing.
Kedor moved to the gasping giant's side. Kneeling, he placed his left hand on the champion's forehead. He drew his talwar across Heydar's throat, ending his wheezing struggle. Retrieving his other blade he stood, flicking them once he sheathed them.
"Sheikh Rashidi stands humbled, you truly are a Child of the Tiger. 'Twas no idle boast?" His voice rumbled, deep in thought, still standing where he had risen for his champion's entrance.
Looking vaguely unsettled, he gestured to Kedor. "As it may be, we should eat and discuss what other plans you have made for me. I'd like to avoid anymore unpleasant surprises."
Nodding his head, he mounted his mound of cushions. "Yes, your grandmother's calculating guile must have skipped a generation. She must be very proud."
This drew a sharp laugh from Shikha, her eyes sparkling. "She received an eye opening surprise of her own this morning, as will all who underestimate my young master."
"Excellent, you must tell me of this over our meal!" He clapped his hands. "Remove my Champion!"
A cavalcade of servants entered bringing cushions, bowls of warm water for bathing, steaming platters, goblets of wine, and carpets to replace the bloodied ones. Kedor's party seated themselves, mingling amongst the elders. As they jockeyed for position, they were enthralled as Shikha regaled them with this morning's earlier events.
With her tale drawing gales of laughter from Rashidi, he demanded, "Sheikh Rashidi must be allowed to take part in the further bearding of that know it all, your grandmother. For years she has sat behind the throne manipulating us far and wide across this empire. She is the true power behind the throne. Though your father is a military genius and able ruler, it is she, the glue, that holds together all your father has conquered."
Ripping apart the carcass of a steaming fowl, the Sheikh absently waved a drumstick at Kedor. "Tell me, you surely have plans beyond this" tournament"..."
Kedor patiently explained. "I would take part in my father's upcoming campaign, yet at fifteen, my cataphract training barely begun, I would surely be denied. I had thought to win the tourney and be named my father's champion. This would force him to give me command of his Rostan, as custom demands. Though this I would decline for several reasons; first, Iskander is an able commander and more suited to this particular task and secondly, I would rather command the scouts. As champion of the Dulain, it would be my right to command the Bedouin scouts. "
"This "might" work." He nodded thoughtfully, as he devoured the bird.
He looked up, decisively. " Sheikh Rashidi shall attend this tournament! For I would see the faces of your grandmother and father when his new champion is unveiled!"
"It "is" working, even now honored grandfather." Kedor bowed.
Chuckling, Rashidi pointed to an astonished Tabitha. "... And her?"
"Ah yes." Kedor speared her with his steely grey eyes. "A new intrigue cooked up by grandmother and my mother. I shall get to the bottom of it soon! Yet the Valide Shah knows it not, but this dovetails nicely with my plans."
Blushing crimson, Tabitha looked down to the bowl of fruit she toyed with in her lap.
"Of course you will!" Laughing, the Sheikh spread his arms expansively. "All this to declare you are a worthy heir? Couldn't you have just made an announcement at the festival feast?"
"My actions must speak for me from now on." Kedor gave the Sheikh a solemn look. "Unfortunately, though not undeservedly, my words will no longer suffice."
Chuckling, the Sheikh stood. "Yes, I had wind of those particular rumors ... nevertheless."
At his call more servants entered, bearing two plain cedar chests, followed by five warriors all identically dressed in jalabiyya (hooded Saracen robes), sky blue kufiyya (head cloths) the long tails of which wrapped across their faces hiding their features. Each was armed with a scimitar hung at their hip and a strung reflex bow slung over their shoulder. They each approached one of Kedor's party, kneeling they presented the bows to them. Only Kedor and Shikha declined. Arioch, being of Ellesar (famous for the Larsan Archers), Leda and Tabitha of Scythian descent, all took the beautifully carved weapons with some reverence.
Arioch, almost whispering, closely examined the bow. "This is a magnificent work of fine craftsmanship."
"These have been imbued by our shaman to resist wet and other inclement weather as well as with runes of strength." Smiling proudly, the Sheikh continued. "As you well know our invested weapons are in great demand.
"Kedor, as my champion, you have inherited the possessions of your predecessor, your uncle Nasir. Heydar chose gold in place of these as they were useless to a warrior of his stature. Regardless, they are yours."
He pulled forth the finest haubergeon Kedor had ever laid eyes upon, made up of tiny, lacquered black rings, from the first chest.
"This steel mail is the lightest I have ever felt." The Sheikh marveled.
As he held it up, it shimmered darkly in the light.
He smiled as he handed it to Kedor. "You have entered a dangerous time in your life. Wear this at all times. I would have you protected."
After putting on his linen undershirt, he pulled the whispering, thigh length metal tunic over his head. He felt oddly refreshed.
"Each link has been stamped with the ancient rune of strength, not only giving the mail an integral strength but also the wearer." The Sheikh turned and pulled a matched pair of exquisitely etched, damascene steel, scimitars from the second chest. "These have been handed down through the Dulain family for generations. You will have to discover their properties yourself as they imbue each owner with different abilities as needed. They are Damar (Ruin) and Iba' Dulain (Pride of the Dulain)."
"Finally, as we seem to be finished eating, shall we remove ourselves? Your final gifts are outside." The Sheikh led them outside where they were met by more servants.
Each stood holding in one arm fine robes and headscarves matching the five warriors. In the other they held the reins of the most beautiful Tazi stallions they had ever seen. Each horse had the distinctive head shape and high tail carriage that clearly marked them as one of the most recognizable and coveted horse breeds in the world. These Arabian steeds were a magnanimous gift indeed.
"As the champion of the Dulain tribe you must dress the part. These robes should also enable you to keep your identity concealed in the tournament until you choose to reveal it." He pointed to the five warriors. "You should be indistinguishable from your new bodyguards dressed like this."
"As for the horses, the bays are for you, Arioch, and your guard." The Sheikh smiled broadly, as he indicated their tattoos. "The sabinoes are yours, Shikha, and Tabitha; painted horses for Kedor's painted women."
"The black is yours, Kedor, his name is Hilel (New Moon). He is my finest and you have proven worthy."
"Grandfather, we are most honored but we have no gift for you to match this generosity!" Kedor stammered.
Laughing, he turned to Kedor. "You have given me an afternoon that will not be soon forgotten, and hope for the future generations of the Dulain Tribe. Now you must be off before your father sends a division of his cataphracts to rescue you from the evil Bedouin."
"I will send an emissary to your father, officially entering my champion in the tournament. I have here a missive for your all knowing grandmother, as she has been seeking knowledge of the goings on in the west, and give my fondest wishes to your mother." The Sheikh grabbed him in a crushing embrace. "You make me proud, grandson."
Turning, he reentered his tent...

Covers the cold-blooded behaviour by both Indian and white man. Garner plays his part brilliantly downbeat. (no 'Rockford' rib ticklers in this movie). A sharp script and realistic action make this a personal favourite. Good theme song too.

An absolute pleasure: rewarding without being challenging
Flashy features and a comfortable driving position, but not every fit and finish is perfect
Some concerns, including disappointing Euro NCAP crash test score
Build quality could feel more solid but mechanics should prove reliable
Lots of shoulder room, but the sloping roof makes things cramped in the back
Loads of standard kit including handy parking sensors and sat-nav
Whichever XF you buy, you'll love driving it. It's one of the best-handling cars in its class, with sharp, sensitive steering and plenty of grip. Not only that, it also rides smoothly over most roads, and it's smooth and stable on the motorway. The XF is available with a choice of four diesel engines: the entry-level 2.2 versions (with 161bhp or 197bhp) are the more efficient but the brawnier 3.0 V6 diesels (with 237bhp or 271bhp) suit the car's sporty character much better and are more a little more refined, too. All the diesels come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. If you don't care about running costs, there are three petrol versions to consider: a 3.0 V6 and two hugely powerful 5.0-litre V8s. The V8s are blisteringly fast, and fuel and tax bills will be just as eye-watering.
The high-tech interior sets the Jaguar XF apart from rivals, but some of the gizmos take some mastering. The touch-screen infotainment system is particularly frustrating, because the small on-screen icons are too hard to hit on the move.
The XF doesn't feel as big as a BMW 5 Series inside, mainly because that sleek roofline limits headroom in the back. Four adults should still be able to settle in comfortably, but the raised transmission tunnel makes sitting in the middle rear seat a little awkward.
The 500-litre boot is only slightly smaller than you get in a BMW 5 Series, so there's plenty of space for luggage. The rear seats also fold to extend the space when you need to carry long loads.
Standard kit levels are very impressive; all XFs come with a DAB radio, Bluetooth, USB and iPod connectivity as well as automatic headlamps and dual-zone climate control.
Jaguar has been voted number one manufacturer in the JD Power customer satisfaction survey, and the XF was the most highly rated executive car. It came second overall, and mechanical reliability is considered to be excellent.
On the whole, safety kit goes way above and beyond the norm, so as well as the front, side and curtain airbags and anti-whiplash head restraints, there's stability and traction control. Pedestrian safety is maximised by a pop-up bonnet to cushion the impact against the engine. However, the XF is one of the only passenger cars we've come across which doesn't allow you to switch off the front passenger airbag - even as a cost option - so you can't fit a rear-facing child seat here. It also scored only four out of five stars in Euro NCAP crash tests, with just 73% for child safety and 79% for adults. That means a BMW 5 Series will keep you safer in a crash.
If you want an impressive, beautiful car that will make every journey a treat, then the XF is a terrific choice. The XF is competitively priced and should hold its value strongly, which helps keep whole-life costs down. However, neither the fuel economy nor CO2 emissions are as good as the best rivals, so it's not the most economical company car, and it lags behind rivals in crash tests, too.

The hospital hosted a town hall on Thursday. The first question at a town hall-style meeting in the basement of the V.A. came from Navy veteran Bob Stewart. It was not in high praise of the V.A. Stewart was denied coverage for surgery on his knee, so he had to pay out of pocket at a private hospital. "I could afford to do that. There are so many veterans out there that can't afford to do things like that. And something needs to be done about it," he said. Purple Heart Day special for one central New York veteran By Ellen Abbott • Aug 7, 2014 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Today is Purple Heart Day -- the annual, nationwide commemoration of the thousands of American soldiers either killed or wounded while serving in the military who have received the medal. And it is an extra special day for one central New Yorker. Dan Hunnicutt is an acting chaplain in Oswego County who runs a ministry with his family meant to help veterans. He often wears his medals when he goes to meet troubled vets as a kind of conversation starter. He now has a new one to share. Katko unveils plan for veterans, says VA needs to be held accountable By Tom Magnarelli • Jul 10, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO file photo John Katko, the Republican candidate for the 24th Congressional District, outlined his five-point plan for veterans Wednesday. Katko says most people don't have a problem with the Veterans Affairs system in Syracuse, but emphasized that's not the case nationwide. Katko said his experience as a federal prosecutor gives him the ability to hold accountable those responsible for falsifying VA records, as seen throughout the country. Katko also emphasized his willingness to reach across the aisle. New bill honors Vietnam vet that died from Agent Orange exposure By Ryan Delaney • Jun 5, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO Rep. Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse) has introduced a new bill to compensate Vietnam War veterans sickened by the chemical Agent Orange he says is more comprehensive than previous efforts. Maffei's bill is named by Larry Hackett, who died in 2006, more than three decades after his service in the army. Hackett was exposed to Agent Orange while serving in 1968-69. He died from a cancer likely caused by the exposure, at the age of 58. Maffei and Hanna join calls for VA secretary's resignation By Ryan Delaney • May 30, 2014 "Department of Veterans Affairs" by Adam Fagen / via Flickr Central New York's two congressmen have joined in the calls for the head of the Department of Veterans Affairs to resign. Pressure on VA Secretary Eric Shinseki is growing over long wait times for patients at VA hospitals. Rep. Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse) and Rep. Richard Hanna (R-Barneveld) have both called for Shinseki to step down as the secretary of Veterans Affairs. They're part of a growing list of congressmen to do so. Vietnam War veteran honored, 45 years later By Ryan Delaney • May 26, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO A Vietnam War veteran from central New York finally has the combat medals he earned 45 years ago. It was November 11, 1968 when Lauren Dates earned a dozen combat medals as an Army sergeant. He would have been fine if those awards, including a Purple Heart and bronze star, had showed up at his Cayuga County home in the mail. His wife thought otherwise. Economic prospects for veterans looking up By Ryan Delaney • Mar 21, 2014 Ryan Delaney / WRVO Military veterans bring a unique skill set when starting their own businesses, but they also face many of the same challenges as non-veteran entrepreneurs. There are more than 900,000 vets in New York state and the unemployment rate among those who served in the last decade is consistently higher than state and national levels. World War II veteran honored with Purple Heart 70 years after turning it down By Tom Magnarelli • Mar 10, 2014 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO Rep. Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse) awarded a World War II veteran the Purple Heart on Saturday. Staff Sergeant Richard Faulkner turned down the award 70 years ago, but recently had a change of heart. When 89-year-old Richard Faulkner was 18, he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as a ball turret gunner. In March of 1944, he was wounded after parachuting out of an airplane that crashed in France. Faulkner says it was the scariest time of his life, he spent 29 days behind enemy lines. He was awarded the Purple Heart, but he turned it down. Fulton school particpates in "Take a Veteran to School Day" By Gino Geruntino • Dec 16, 2013 Gino Geruntino / WRVO Fifth and sixth graders at Granby Elementary School in Fulton got the chance to meet and ask questions to several current and former service members Monday morning, during the school's "Take a Vet to School Day" event. Members of the Army and Navy gave students a look into their lives in the military, including what they did overseas, where they've been stationed, and in one case, what their favorite gun is to shoot. Cellphones for vets program starts 6th season By Ellen Abbott • Nov 25, 2013 Ellen Abbott / WRVO For the sixth year in a row, State Sen. John DeFransisco is asking central New Yorkers to go through their junk drawers to help someone in the military. "You got some old cellphones," DeFransisco said Monday, "don't let them gather dust." Instead DeFransisco is asking people to turn them in to locations across central New York bearing the "Cellphones for Soldiers" logo. Schumer announces plan to get veteran benefits moving By Gino Geruntino • Nov 7, 2013 U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer wants to integrate the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs health records to reduce benefit backlogs and save money. Schumer is proposing a two-part plan, the first aimed at creating a compatible health record system between the two departments. Schumer wants better VA, police coordination on mental health By Ryan Delaney • Sep 27, 2013 Ryan Delaney / WRVO Sen. Charles Schumer is calling for more coordination between police and Veterans Affairs medical centers to treat veterans with mental health problems. Schumer, a Democrat from New York, wants the VA to investigate its handling of mentally ill veterans in the wake of a veteran's shooting spree. Police say Navy veteran Aaron Alexis killed 12 people on a base in Washington D.C. last week. Schumer says ineffective communication between police and military allowed Alexis to not be treated. On air: health care for veterans & the military By Catherine Loper • Sep 19, 2013 This health forum broadcast on WRVO Sunday, November 17 at 7 p.m. Auburn Community Hospital's VA outpatient clinic receives contract extension By Gino Geruntino • Sep 6, 2013 Gino Geruntino/WRVO Auburn Community Hospital has renewed its contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs for another five years. The contract, which was signed in July, allows the hospital to continue providing health care and specialty referral services to more than 1,400 veterans in and around Cayuga County through its VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic.

Everyone Is Digging This Insane Motosurfer Video
I have never really been into extreme sport videos ever in my life. The second I see someone decked out in Red Bull apparel, I am immediately turned off. But this video in particular has caught my attention. Everything from the directing, editing, camera operating, and sound design has been formulated perfectly into a four minute YouTube masterpiece.

Beginning - UberEvilAngel
Zadane Demonian awoke. It was 5:30 in the morning, and the sun was rising. On this day, on this day, 11 years ago, it would have been his 5th birthday, and the day his mother and father were murdered. He watched the sun rise. He opened the window wide, breathed in the fresh air, and smiled. He lived alone, in the coutry in an old cottage.
Zadane was unlike any other boy you would meet. He was kind, charming, sweet and caring. He knew every call of the bird, and every footprint of the animals. He could call a sparrow down from a tree, or follow a doormouse to its woodland home. He would go into the nerby town, and wish everyone well. He would go to his little stall he had set up. He sold flowers, shiny buttons, embroidery threads and lovely little scent bags he had made himself. But the towns people loved his singing over all. He would sing while selling, or the crowd would ask for him to sing to the, over and over. He would go home everyday with a little bagful of gold, to buy some food, herbs and salt.
Zadane was beautiful. He had hair that was as fine as spun gold that just reached his shoulders, paler than the moon was his skin. Bluer than the sky, and bluer still than the forget-me-nots were his eyes, and lips as red as his favorite flower the red rose. He would sleep on nothing but a thin matteress, and with a thin blanket covering his muscular body.
The cottage had three rooms. The bathroom, with warm and cold water that came from an underground spring, his sleeping area, and his kitchen, with his herb, spices and food. Food of plenty he had, and clothes he also had. He thought himself lucky, but he longed for one thing.
He had seen the couples in the streets, sold then bouques, and made flower heart for them. He longed for love, and someone to share his little home with. He had moved into it when his parents had gone, and he longed for a love, or even a friend. He st down in his chair, and began to read. He soon fell asleep, and dreamed a dreadful dream. Of when his parents left the world and him forever.....
They walked in the snow, hand in hand, step after step. They smiled and laughed, until...Zadane stopped. A figure lay curled up in the snow. His parents let go of his hand, and went to investigate. They peered down, into the dark cape. A figure jumped out of it, and clasped his jaw round my mother's neck. She screamed and struggled, and red splashed white, and snow met blood. The face then pushed me to the side, jumping up and onto my father, biting into him, ripping at him. Soft arms scooped me up. I looked up. A beautiful woman was holding me close in her arms. She hissed a spell at the vampire, and it froze. "I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner, little one. I'm sorry about your parents." she sighed. She placed me down, took of her long white cloak, and wrapped it around me. She had long white hair, smokey blue eyes....and gleaming white fangs. She threw some power over the three bodies, and they turned into nothingness. She picked me up, and carried me to a small cottage. "You will be safe here, little one. One day, you shall be the desider of the fate of all vampires, and I hope that I shall help you. But until that time comes, goodbye. and good luck."
He awoke from the dream. He shook himself awake, put the book back on the shelf, and got out his drawing pad. He closed his eyes, an began to draw. When he opened then again, he marveled at his picture. It was a beautiful young girl, about his age. He got out his coloured pencils, and closed his eyes, letting his hands create and mold this person...whoever she was.

Understanding ULIPS
As the advertising onslaught grows in the tax season it is important to understand what ULIPs really are. As an investor you should always make an informed decision. InvestmentYogi presents a quick guide to understanding ULIPs.
ULIP is an abbreviation for Unit Linked Insurance Policy which is a combination of life insurance and a market linked investment product. Therefore, it provides you life cover as well as capital appreciation. The allocated (invested) portions of the premiums after deducting all the charges and premium for risk cover policies chosen by all investors are pooled together to form a fund and units are allocated from this fund as per your invested amount.
Guaranteed returns?
ULIPs were originally meant to channelize savings to create wealth in the long term. But many ULIPs are today being sold as a tax saving and guaranteed return product with promises like this "You invest Rs X and we will double the money in 5 years". It is often accompanied by attractive graphs and charts showing you how your money will grow. As an investor, you must understand that the charts are usually based on some assumptions. Similarly the returns during good times are highlighted but same is not shown to you for the periods when the fund didn't perform well.
IRDA makes it mandatory for every insurer to provide an illustration to accompany every ULIP sold. This illustration should project returns assuming 6 and 10 per cent annualised returns and take the signature of the policy holder on the same. Investors should be aware that the returns may or may not materialize. Moreover the actual returns will be net of charges and expenses.
As a thumb rule, the net return is between 5.5 to 6% if the plan annualised return is 10% over a period of 10 years. The net return is higher for a period beyond 10 years.
Types of Funds offered �
Most insurers offer a wide range of funds to suit one's investment objectives, risk profile and time horizons. Different funds have different risk profiles. The potential for returns also varies from fund to fund.
The following are some of the common types of funds available along with an indication of their risk characteristics.
Charges and Fees*
ULIPs offered by different insurers have varying charge structures. Broadly, the different types of fees and charges are given below. As per IRDA (Insurance Regulatory Development Authority) norms, insurers have the right to revise fees and charges over a period of time.
1. Premium Allocation Charge – This is a percentage of the premium appropriated towards charges before allocating the units under the policy. This charge normally includes initial and renewal expenses apart from commission expenses.
2. Mortality Charges – These are charges to provide for the cost of insurance coverage under the plan. Mortality charges depend on number of factors such as age, amount of coverage, state of health etc
3. Fund Management Fees – These are fees levied for management of the fund(s) and are deducted before arriving at the Net Asset Value (NAV).
4. Policy/ Administration Charges – These are the fees for administration of the plan and levied by cancellation of units. This could be flat throughout the policy term or vary at a pre-determined rate.
5. Surrender Charges – A surrender charge may be deducted for premature partial or full encashment of units wherever applicable, as mentioned in the policy conditions.
6. Fund Switching Charge – Generally a limited number of fund switches may be allowed each year without charge, with subsequent switches, subject to a charge.
7. Service Tax Deductions – Before allotment of the units the applicable service tax is deducted from the risk portion of the premium.
It should be noted that the portion of the premium after deducting for all charges and premium for risk cover is utilized for purchasing units. However, the quantum of premium used to purchase units varies from product to product.
*Source IRDA
What it means as an investment option?
The charges and various other expenses are front loaded i.e. high in initial years. Over a long period of time they even out. Thus ULIPs make sense only if you plan to stay invested for 10-15 years or more. Marketing agents often try to sell ULIPs as three-year products for tax saving purpose and suggest you withdraw the proceeds at the end of three years. That is a sure shot way to lose money as you will end up paying all the charges but not reap the benefits of appreciation.
Free Look Period
As per IRDA, the policyholder can seek refund of premiums if he disagrees with the terms and conditions of the policy, within 15 days of receipt of the policy document (Free Look period). The policyholder shall be refunded the fund value including charges levied through cancellation of units subject to deduction of expenses towards medical examination, stamp duty and proportionate risk premium for the period of cover.
Switching Facility
"SWITCH" option provides for shifting the investments in a policy from one fund to another provided the feature is available in the product. Many policies give you multiple fund options and you can decide your allocation according to the market conditions. Switch should be used intelligently to protect your investments during turbulent times by making a switch to safer debt funds and during boom time you should switch to more of equity funds. You need to be aware of the fund options provided by the policy before you sign up.
Exit Options
If all the premiums have not been paid for at least 3 years continuously, the insurance cover ceases to exist. You will be paid the surrender value in that case. The tax benefits cease to exist when an individual wants to get out of a ULIP before three years i.e. any contribution made towards the policy during the financial year is not eligible for a deduction under section 80C; On top of this deductions that have already been taken in the previous years would be added back as the income of the individual in that particular year of policy termination.
Under the 'premium holiday' feature, most ULIPs continue running if premium payment is stopped after the first three years, with the charges being deducted from the fund value through the term. While you may stop premium payments after three years and keep a ULIP going, the contract between you and the insurer will be terminated when, after deduction of charges, the fund value becomes equal to or less than one year's premium. So, you need to keep an eye on the fund value if you exercise the option of stopping premiums after three years.
So, to sum up:
-ULIP is a hybrid plan, provides the qualities of both insurance and mutual funds
-Gives you tax benefits under section 80C
-Gives you the flexibility to chose your premium as well as risk cover
-Gives you the flexibility to stop premium payments if so desired or needed
-Is not a pure investment tool, as pitched by most of the sellers
-Should not be taken if insurance need is not there, in which case you should go for only mutual funds
-Is expensive as compared to a combination of term insurance and mutual funds, which can serve your purpose better
-Should be taken for a long term only
-Should be taken with a high sum assured.

Because of the ramifications, divorce and remarriage is one of the most hotly debated biblical issues in the church today. Many people find this issue to be a challenging subject. Preachers and dedicated Bible students have written numerous books and engaged in countless discussions seeking to answer the question of whether one who has been divorced, or has divorced, may marry again. Yet Christians are far from united on this issue. Many find it so difficult and troublesome to discern the truth that they refuse to even open their mind to an honest study of the subject. Others are so fully convinced they have the answer and that what they know is so vital to truth and morality, they will have no fellowship with those who differ with them.
Misleading teaching has led to needless guilt in the hearts of many people as they struggle to please God in regard to their marital status. Many homes have been destroyed and souls lost because of well-meaning, although misinformed, teachers who think they are merely teaching what Jesus taught.

Matthew Upson a target for Leeds and Brighton
FORMER England international Matthew Upson is wanted by Leeds and Brighton.
The 34-year-old centre-half has been released by Stoke, who have just appointed Mark Hughes as boss.
Upson played twice for the Potters last season: once in the Capital One Cup clash and once in the Premier League. Across the two games they conceded seven goals.
The ex-Arsenal man subsequently went out on loan to Brighton and helped them into the Championship play-offs.
But a dream end to the season wasn't to be as they succumbed to Crystal Palace in the semis.
While Brighton want him back at the Amex Stadium they will face stiff competition from Leeds, who are also after his services.

All Parrot Products also offers the brand names parrot pellets from Lafeber, Zupreem, Pretty Bird, Roudybush, Scenic, and Oven Fresh Bites.
Parrots require fresh foods to stay healthy and active. Organic, human grade, and food that is not repackaged is the best way to provide optimal care and keep your parrots healthy.
Feeding your parrot right is much more in depth then just feeding a parrot seed or parrot pellet diet. Trusting leading brands is also not enough either. It's up to you, you need to read labels, and know what your feeding. All bird food is not created equal. You will find that all ingredients are listed, on all brands of food that we sell so you can make the best choice for your type of parrot.
Because of the special needs of the Eclectus we have also labeled the foods that are safe for the Eclectus.
Please contact All Parrot Products if you have any questions or if I can be of any help.

TI FICTION: TO MAECENASSubmitted by Wayne on Tue, 2009-03-24 18:51.
theimagist has been becoming too much of a formula for me recently so I decided to look for a new challenge in writing. The only thing I can think of that is grueling but rewarding was long form prose. So here's the first excerpt from a burgeoning attempt to "fictionalize" some of my adventures in fashion. The following is an introduction to a seminal figure I met very early on when I first ventured into the business.

It is generally assumed that aversion to risk is one of the biggest obstacles to Canadian innovation, but only 10 per cent of Canadian businesses are truly risk averse. The big issue is apparently an inability to align risk-taking with financial capacity -- rational risk-taking obviously involves being able to survive the potential negative consequences of your actions. And that's a key lesson buried in the aftermath of the hacker attack on the controversial Ashley Madison online affair service.
I am not by any means condoning Josh Duggar's behaviour. His actions have been reprehensible. What I am doing is pointing out an all too familiar calling card that has been handed out time and time again by the same backwards religious fanatics that America calls its own. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have failed utterly as parents by refraining from doing one thing: protecting their children.
LOS ANGELES — Eight people across the U.S. who registered to use Ashley Madison are suing the cheating website after hackers released personal and d...
Ashley Madison caters to married people and the motto of the site is "Life is short. Have an affair." This leads us to bigger questions regarding relationships and an examination of why a "cheating" website has such a huge number of users. What does this have to say about the modern state of marriage and monogamy?
While cheating can be extremely damaging to most relationships, an affair actually begins long before the act itself. Having an affair is often one person's way of signaling to their partner that something is wrong in the relationship. And, often one person uses cheating as a catalyst to either fix or flee from the problems.
With the recent Ashley Madison hack and the release of information for the affair-oriented dating site, it is no surprise that the internet is making wise-cracks about excited divorce lawyers rubbing their hands together in glee. But aside from being the final nail on the coffin, how would finding your spouse on the Ashley Madison list affect your divorce?

Now Russell Brand has put his Hampstead bachelor pad on the market for £2.5m, fuelling rumours he is about to move to the States with his new girlfriend.
The 2,000 sq ft home includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a media and yoga room. His love nest has typically "blokish" decor — and even boasts a hot tub in the garden.
The estate agent claims it has "been the subject of a dramatic and stylish makeover by the current owner" and the master bedroom is "exquisite and very luxurious".
We wouldn't expect anything less from the randy comic. Rumours have been rife that he and Katy are looking for a place together in the Hollywood Hills, and Russell's even met her parents. His spokesman was unavailable for comment.Reuse content

Benchmarking Amazon EC2: The wacky world of cloud performance
The performance of Amazon machine instances is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and sometimes absolutely abysmal
Before turning to the world of cloud computing, let's pause to remember the crazy days of the 1970s when the science of the assembly line wasn't well-understood and consumers discovered that each purchase was something of a gamble. This was perhaps most true at the car dealer, where the quality of new cars was so random that buyers began to demand to know the day a car rolled off the assembly line.
Cars built on Monday were said to be a bad risk because everyone was hung over, while cars slapped together on Friday suffered because everyone's mind was already on the weekend. The most paranoid buyers would scrutinize the calendar to see if the car emerged from the factory when midweek descents into bacchanalia like the World Series would fog the brains of everyone with a wrench.
[ Also on InfoWorld: 8 public cloud services put to the test | Stay on top of the state of the cloud with InfoWorld's "Cloud Computing Deep Dive," "Private Cloud Deep Dive," "Cloud Security Deep Dive," "Cloud Storage Deep Dive," and "Cloud Services Deep Dive" special reports. ]
Inconsistencies like that are largely forgotten by today's shoppers thanks to better testing, a greater devotion to quality, and a general exodus of manufacturing from places where people stay up too late drinking too much while watching too much sports. If anything, the modern factories spit out identical items with a consistency that borders on boring. When modern movies show an assembly line, it's often a charisma-free mechanism stamping out perfect duplicates.
Those memories of the 1970s came back to me when I started running benchmark tests on cloud computers. While computers are normally pumped out with such clonelike perfection that adjectives like "soulless" spring to mind, I started to discover that the clone metaphor may not be the best one for the machines available for rent from the compute clouds. The cloud machines are not all alike, produced with precision like the boxes that sit on our desks. They're a bit like those cars of the '70s.
I started learning this after several engineers from the cloud companies groused at the benchmark tests in my big survey of public clouds. The tests weren't sophisticated enough, I was told.
My cloud benchmark results were never meant to be a definitive answer, just a report on what the user might experience walking through the virtual door. Like Consumer Reports, I signed up for a machine, uploaded Java code, and wrote down the results. While the DaCapo benchmark suite has advantages such as processor independence (Java) and a wide collection of popular server-side code (Jython, Tomcat), the results were scattered. The only solution, I concluded, was to test the very code you plan to run because that's the only way to figure out which cloud machines will deliver the best performance for your particular mix of I/O, disk access, and computation.
One engineer didn't like this approach. He started asking pointed questions that were surprisingly complex. What was the precise methodology? Which operating system did the tests run upon? How often were the tests run? Did the tests control for the time of day?

Rumors are among usMature
I heard the door slam loudly making my ears ring, I sighed and looked at the blood covered cloth in my hands. I never understood why he felt the need to hide and cover up his true feelings. We have been friends for years but he still didn't trust me and that is what killed me the most. I sighed and laid the cloth down on the stone in front of me, and walked out my shoes making a soft click as it made contact with the ground beneath me.
"Hello Miss Monroe!" I heard a cheerful voice say in front of me, I smiled softly looking at the young woman in front of me, her bright blue eyes and golden locks shinning in light that danced along the corridor.
"Hello Michaela, how are you?" I asked softly, she was always kind to me despite what I was, her tan face suddenly twisted into a look of concern as she looked up at me.
"Honestly, I am worried, the prince hasn't been himself lately, and there are rumors-"
"Rumors, what about?" I asked crossing my arms across my chest, she looked around as if she was looking for people that were going to rat her out.
"There is talk that Kingdom is going into debt and that we are running out of food, those vile creatures keep killing our cattle and destroying what little supply we do have. But the King has something planned, I just don't know what."
"MICHAELA!!"A loud scream was heard making the slender girl jump in fear.
"I'm sorry Miss Monroe, I must take my leave." She said bowing slightly before sprinting down the hall. I stared at the spot before me as if it would tell me answers, I shook my head and began walking out to the courtyard. It wasn't my business to interfere with the relations and politics of the kingdom. I sighed loudly as I heard someone walk up next me.
"Hey, you seem to be in deep thought what is on your mind?" I heard a soft tone say from my right I looked over to see one of Devarion's other friends Adrian. He was a cute man, he had beautiful honey colored eyes and chestnut hair that covered his left eye. He was kind but something about him rubbed me the wrong way at times.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the rumors that are fluttering about. Do you know if they are true or not?"
"If they are you shouldn't think or act on anything." He said sternly, I rolled my green eyes at him in annoyance.
"I don't need you or anyone else's permission regarding this. I am going to try and help Devarion and more importantly the king." I said turning on my heels and storming off.
