text: HFO-1234yf was the subject of comprehensive testing conducted by an SAE CRP from 2007 to 2009. That CRP, which was sponsored by 15 global automakers, including all leading German automakers, major suppliers and 18 international, independent research institutes, concluded that HFO-1234yf is safe for use in automobile applications.SAE initiated the latest CRP after Daimler raised questions about the refrigerant's flammability. SAE said its latest CRP's evaluation was expanded "with input from Daimler ... to realistically address" Daimler's concerns. SAE said the CRP also reviewed and analyzed extensive new data from automakers and used "conservative assumptions" to ensure its analysis "would be more likely to overestimate rather than underestimate the actual risks" of the refrigerant igniting. Even with those assumptions, the CRP found "risks are still very small compared to the risks of a vehicle fire from all causes and well below risks that are commonly viewed as acceptable by the general public." The SAE concluded it was 20,000 times more likely for a person to die in a plane crash than be exposed to a vehicle fire caused by a leak and ignition of HFO-1234yf. It also said it was 300,000 times more likely a vehicle would experience a fire for any reason and 100,000 times more likely for an accident to happen because of a brake failure. The CRP has said throughout its evaluation that it used universally accepted engineering methods, including analysis of recent OEM testing from actual vehicle crash data, on-vehicle simulations, laboratory simulations, bench tests, and over 100 engine compartment refrigerant releases. It also employed fault-tree analyses, which it noted have been recommended and employed by numerous public and private organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, the International Electrotechnical Commission, the European Union Joint Research Centre, and the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive.

Barack Obama said today that the US should be able to measure whether Iran is serious about nuclear negotiations by the end of this year.
The US president told the BBC that he did not want to put artificial timetables on the talks with Iran, but he did confirm that the diplomatic approach would be reviewed by December.
Obama also laid out a strategy for those talks, linking them to US-Russian – and ultimately global – negotiations on cutting the use of nuclear weapons as a means of breaking four years of deadlock over Iran's right to enrich uranium.
"Without going into specifics, what I do believe is Iran has legitimate energy concerns and legitimate aspirations. On the other hand the international community has a very real interest in preventing a nuclear arms race in the region," Obama said.
He recalled his agreement with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to pursue significant cuts in the two countries' nuclear stockpiles, and added: "To the extent that Iran feels they are treated differently from everyone else, that makes them embattled.
"To the extent that we are having a broader conversation about how all countries have an interest in containing and reducing over time the nuclear proliferation threat, that I think has to be part and parcel of a broader agenda," Obama said.
The remarks are a clear sign that the new US administration sees little future in the carrot-and-stick approach to Iran that the international community has until now adopted towards the country's nuclear programme. It will seek to broaden the dialogue and come at the problem from a different angle.
Unspoken, but hovering in the background, is the possibility that the west could concede Iran's right to carry out some uranium enrichment, perhaps under control of an international consortium, in return for more intrusive UN inspections and safeguards.
"Although I don't want to put artificial timetables on [the negotiation] process, we do want to make sure that by the end of this year we've actually seen a serious process move forward. I think we can measure whether or not the Iranians are serious," Obama said.
"My personal view is that the Islamic state of Iran has the potential to be an extraordinarily powerful and prosperous country. They are more likely to achieve that in the absence of nuclear weapons that could trigger a nuclear arms race in the region," the president said. "And if what prevents them seeing that reality is 30 years of loggerheads between Iran and the US this may be the opportunity for us to open the door and see if they walk through."
Obama was speaking on the eve of a first visit to the Arab world. He will be in Saudi Arabia tomorrow and then in Egypt on Thursday, when he will deliver a keynote speech in Cairo.
He gave away few clues as to what would be in that speech, but made it clear he would not be mounting a serious attack on Egypt's and the region's human rights record. He described the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak as a "stalwart ally" and said that his country's job is "not to lecture".
Obama said he thought that democratic rights reflected universal – not just western – values, but added: "The danger I think is that when the US or any country thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture … I think the thing we can do most importantly is serve as a role model."
Regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he said he was hopeful he would be able to get "serious negotiations back on track". He stuck to the US demand for Israel to halt all settlement building on the West Bank, and shrugged off Israeli government refusals to do so.
"It's still early in the conversation," Obama said.

Ash: Introduction
You know when you were young and you would wish for snow or sun or whatever was on your mind that day. Did you ever think it could come true?
When I was six years old, I made it rain. We were out on the beach, it was July, a pretty unusual time for rain. I was there with my two then friends, Robert and Alex. I was young and very easy to anger at the time. Alex fell backwards and destroyed my sandcastle. It's laughable now, but I kicked up one helluva fuss. My mother shouted at me as much as I shouted at her. Finally, kicking over my bucket, I sat down and cried.
At that moment, literally, the clouds turned black. A deep rumbling filled the air. All eyes turned upwards to see a white flash across the sky.
All that has been recounted to me. But I can remember the next bit. All at once everyone started screaming. And that's what I can hear in my memory. That awful screaming. That did nothing for comforting six year old me and I cried all the more. My mother grabbed me and took me to the car. My friends followed, crying themselves. We drove away as fast as we could. No one noticed how the storm seemed to follow us. And after I had calmed down it disappeared completely.
I didn't change the weather again until I was thirteen. For the past four years now I have been practicing, perfecting my art. I can now not only create a thunderstorm but I can make it sunny, I can make it snow, I can create hail, ice, wind, any weather, you name it. I have tried to control my emotions since that day. Generally, when I get stressed, the weather doesn't change too much. However, sometimes, just sometimes, I get a little too angry...
But well, now seventeen and I am actually homeless. I am tall for my age, quite slim, with black hair that always gets in the way of my eyes. My eyes are an odd shade of dark blue, like night. I wear dark colours as well, and I have pale, pale skin. Right now, all my possessions in the world can fit into one small rucksack.
Right now, the sky is cloudy. And I can't tell if it's me who's caused that, or if the sky is just naturally gloomy.


text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 251726 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 126 PM EDT Thu May 25 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1031 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017 A soggy morning continues, particularly across n central lower and far eastern upper MI. This is the outer edge of the precip shield associated with low pressure in w central OH, moving ne. Precip has diminished in coverage somewhat over the past 1-2 hours, getting lighter if not ending at places like TVC/CAD/HTL. However, an additional wave of light rain is moving onshore from APN/Rogers, and some showers are still seen over Lake Huron. Meanwhile, there are some places starting the day with at least a little bit of sunshine (western Chip/Mack, immediate nw lower MI coastline). Not many, but some. Not expecting a lot of changes thru the day today. Light rain, with a few embedded showers, will continue to wrap back into ne/n central lower and eastern upper MI. Some terrain-induced enhancement will be seen over n central lower, while precip coverage will gradually fall off as you move west into nw lower MI and west of I-75 in eastern upper. Will lower max temps somewhat along the M-37 and M-66 corridors in nw lower, as well as along/east of I-75 in eastern upper. && .NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight) Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017 ...One more day of showers... High Impact Weather Potential...None. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast...Pesky closed upper low continues to slowly move through the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys this morning... associated surface low is centered over western Ohio with a trailing front arcing down through the SE states. Strongest QG- forcing for ascent and bulk of precip has shifted into the Appalachians/mid Atlantic coast along and ahead of the front. Meanwhile, mid level deformation axis stretches through Lake Huron and across portions of lower Michigan with several bands of showers pivoting northwestward through the region. The most persistent showers thus far have been across parts of NE lower Michigan and down through Saginaw Bay. Primary Forecast Concerns...minimal. Shower chances and timing through tonight. Closed upper level low finally expected to advance eastward to the Atlantic coast through this evening and into New England by Friday morning. Associated mid level deformation axis/QG-forcing for ascent will pivot through the region and weaken in time, with showers gradually diminishing/ending by Friday morning. But we area still facing several more hours of showers today and into tonight with the best chances/coverage anticipated across NE lower Michigan. Temperatures, still on the cooler side with highs in the middle 50s to lower 60s. && .SHORT TERM...(Friday through Saturday) Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017 ...Warming temperatures... High impact weather potential: None. Pattern forecast: Upper level low pressure that`s plagued northern Michigan over the past several days will continue to slowly depart off to our east early today into tonight with mid-level ridging briefly becoming centered overhead by midday Friday. A couple of weak shortwaves are expected to ripple through the Great Lakes during the Friday-Saturday timeframe preventing the forecast from including completely dry conditions. However, with limited moisture and rather weak forcing associated with each ripple in the flow, scattered showers should be few and far between with many locations staying dry to start the upcoming holiday weekend. Primary forecast challenges/concerns: Low end shower chances and increasing temperatures. As was mentioned earlier, despite weak mid-level ridging becoming centered overhead during the day Friday, several subtle pieces of energy are expected to race across the area. This may provide enough support to kick off a few sprinkles or light showers, but will continue to keep the forecast predominantly dry as the majority of northern Michigan is expected to stay rain-free with partly sunny skies, light winds, and high temperatures 5 to as much as 15 degrees warmer than Thursday. A rather similar story is on tap for Saturday, despite ridging moving off to the east and being replaced by weak troughing associated with upper level low pressure that`s progged to be spinning across western Ontario/Manitoba. A weak wave or two pinwheeling around the southern periphery of that system may once again be enough to kick off a stray sprinkle or light shower locally, but another partly sunny and even warmer day is anticipated for most. High temps on Saturday climbing to several degrees above normal...ranging from the upper 60s across eastern upper to the mid- 70s for northern Lower (cooler along the immediate lakeshores, of course). .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Wednesday) Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017 High impact weather potential: Chance of thunderstorms Monday. Despite not much in the way of high impact weather potential, aside from a low end chance of a few thunderstorms Monday, the extended period could feature another stretch of unsettled weather. Upper level low off to our northwest this weekend, gradually sinks south and east across the Great Lakes by early next week. This should allow for sporadic rain chances perhaps as early as Sunday, but more so Monday through the end of the forecast period. Near-normal high temperatures Sunday and Monday gradually fall to several degrees below normal Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 126 PM EDT Thu May 25 2017 Cig restrictions into Friday morning, worst at APN. Low pressure in Ohio will move slowly ne, still pushing moisture back into northern lower MI, especially NE lower. APN will continue to see low stratus/drizzle/fog, with IFR conditions. Improvement expected only toward midday Friday. Elsewhere, MVFR cigs into the start of Friday, though have to watch for potential ground fog tonight. Ne to n winds will go light tonight and into Friday morning. && .MARINE... Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017 Northeasterly winds with gusts up to 20 knots anticipated on the lakes today, shy of small craft advisory conditions. Winds diminish tonight and remain on the lighter side heading into the weekend. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE.

A batch of new drugs that aim to clear the gunk out of the brains of Alzheimer's patients are providing the best hope yet that it might be possible to slow the disease.
But they're not even close to being a cure, experts said — and they're also not close to being on the market.
And, researchers admit, the benefits they see amount to numbers on a graph, not anything that patients or their loved ones might notice.
Researchers reported on the trials of three experimental drugs that use immune system weapons called monoclonal antibodies to clear the brain-clogging protein called amyloid.
They think their results show that the drugs might work if they use a high enough dose and if they treat patients in the very early stages of the disease, before their brains are too damaged.
Dr. David Knopman of the Mayo Clinic said he knew headlines would have his patients asking about when they can get the drugs.
"How am I going talk to my patients on Friday?" he said at a news conference. "These results aren't going to lead to something they can get next week. What you are hearing here represents solid advances."
The three drugs being highlighted at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference are called solanezumab, aducanumab and gantenerumab. (The "mab" at the end of the drug name stands for monoclonal antibody). They specifically attack amyloid.
Solanezumab, made by drug giant Lilly, disappointed patients, researchers and investors when it didn't seem to help patients in 2012. But the developers kept studying it, trying to see if it maybe offered a small benefit when given to people early. They compared people who got the drug right away in the trial to those who had been taking placebo - giving the drug to all the patients to see if there might be a difference.
They found one. When they looked at the combined memory and thinking test scores of all the volunteers three years later, those who got the drug early seemed to be doing better. Those who got it later could not seem to catch up. That suggests a small, hard-to-measure benefit.
"We should think about these drugs as slowing progression of an underlying disease," said Dr. Paul Aisen, director of the Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute at the University of Southern California.
The the test scores don't translate into day-to-day life changes, Aisen said. "The cognitive measures do not have a direct relationship to clinically apparent benefit," he told reporters.
"We see … in mild subjects roughly a one-third slowing of decline."
Over the long-term, however, that could add up to many more days living at home, for instance, he said.
"The changes we are making are modest," said Knopman. "That is why you need to treat it really early, early, early."
Aducanumab, also known as BIIB037 and made by Biogen, appears to be clearing the amyloid from the brains of patients, researchers told the meeting. There's also some evidence that this might be improving test scores in the patients who got the very highest doses.
Biogen is moving ahead to a phase III study - the very last stage before seeking Food and Drug Administration approval. They'll test it in people who have very early Alzheimer's disease or who have what's called mild cognitive impairment - changes in memory and thinking that can lead to Alzheimer's.
Patients who got it did better on memory tests called the Clinical Dementia Rating or CDR and the Mini-Mental State Evaluation or MMSE, said Dr. Jeff Sevigny of Biogen.
"We observed statistically significant, dose-dependent slowing of decline on both MMSE and CDR," Sevigny told the news conference.
But again, nothing that patients would notice. And not all Alzheimer's experts agree that removing amyloid is affecting the underlying disease. "We can't say that yet," argued Dr. Rachelle Doody of Baylor College of Medicine.
Lilly's has also started a phase III clinical trial, although results are more than a year away.
A careful look at patients who took gantenerumab, another drug that failed in tests, showed it might just be that people were not given enough of it, said Dr. Philip Scheltens, director of the Alzheimer's Center at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
"Probably the doses were too low to be clinically efficient and effective," he said. But an analysis showed it was affecting a protein called tau, which some people believe might cause Alzheimer's and which does indicate brain cell damage.
Researchers will have to take care. High doses of the drugs also cause brain inflammation, which might indicate the drugs are working but which can cause headaches, dizziness and which, in other drug trials, were deadly.
"The data from these new analyses present exciting possibilities, and we look forward to the results of future studies in these experimental drugs," said Maria Carrillo, chief science officer of the Alzheimer's Association.
The researchers are keen to offer some hope, both for patients but also so that investors will continue to support development of new drugs. More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's, a number the Association projects will balloon to 28 million by 2050.
The Alzheimer's Association is asking Congress to fund more government research, which usually goes to early stage research hat drug companies are often reluctant to do.
"It takes big money, big time, to get us there," Knopman said.
Scheltens and other experts said no single drug will probably work. As with cancer and the AIDS virus, it will probably take a combination of drugs to help, he said. "I think Alzheimer's disease is a very complex disease," he said. "I think we ultimately will have no single method (to treat it)."
There are just a handful of Alzheimer's drugs on the market now, all approved more than a decade ago. They include Aricept, Namenda and Exelon, and they can treat symptoms for a while but do not affect the disease itself.

wikiHow to Prepare a Wall for Wallpaper Border
A wallpaper border can be a great way to add some color and interest to a room. Unlike whole wall wallpapering, borders can be installed over any wall in good condition without sealers or primers. The border can be added at any height, including ceiling, shoulder or chair rail to add the desired look to the room.
1Sand the walls where the wallpaper will be hung.
2Use a light touch, moving the sandpaper over the areas just enough to smooth out any imperfections in the wall and add some texture to ultra-smooth paints. Avoid sanding any areas where the wallpaper will not be placed.
3Locate and fill any cracks in the wall where the wallpaper will be hung with wall compound.
4Smooth the compound on with a margin trowel.
5Scrape off any excess so the repair is flat.
6Allow the compound to dry according to the manufacturer's directions.
7Sand the edges of the repair smooth to blend them in with the rest of the wall.
8Mark the wall where the wallpaper will be hung with a pencil and a level to find the correct placement and ensure a straight hanging.
9Measure each wall where the wallpaper will be hung.
10Add 2" to 3" for overlap to your measurements.
11Lay the paper flat and measure out the first section.
12Mark the area to be cut with a straight edge and pencil.
13Make a single, straight cut through the paper beginning at the top of the border and pull the razor blade straight back toward you through the paper.
14Hold the paper against the wall to double check the size before hanging.

- Ensure a straight cut through the paper by laying a straight edge down alongside the area to be cut. Place the razor blade against it as you pull through.
- Always check to ensure your ceiling is level if you are hanging below the ceiling. Some ceilings may slope, which will result in an uneven border if a new path for the border isn't created.

Chapter ThreeMature
"Hey Kate, I saw you walking down your street with like the hottest guy I've ever seen! Who is he?" This comes from a girl I hardly know. Her names Kath. She's one of those pretty girls but not popular pretty, if you know what I mean? She has long brown hair that comes down to her waist, but she's not very tall compared to me, in fact she is pretty short. She doesn't seem to have many friends, although she's nice enough.
"That really hot guy happens to be my boyfriend, Jake," I say proudly, but trying not to show off. Jake had to be my boyfriend right? We had sex!
"He seems cool. Want to meet up with me tonight? I'll be in the town centre at five; you better come and bring your lad." She didn't give me a chance to answer. She just walked away with her hair swinging from side to side. I felt confused as to why she wanted to meet up with me, but I text Jake anyway to see if he will meet me in town instead of at my house. But I got no reply.
I don't mind Kath, she's a little bit in your face sometimes, and she seems to think a lot of herself. But that doesn't bother me too much; she's nowhere near as bad as Faye. Maybe me and Kath could be friends? Or maybe not... Not many people like me at school.
After school, Jake call's me. He wants to have a talk, but I tell him that we need to get to town to meet someone from school. He says he would and hangs up. It's really weird the way he's acting. Maybe he feels weird because we have had sex now, but he shouldn't feel weird about it, we have been best friends for ages! To me it's the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's something I've been wanting for so long, but didn't think I could ever have. Now my dreams come true and he's acting odd about it. Maybe I'll be able to talk to him later about it all.
Once I got into town I saw Kath, she was sat alone, which I found strange as I had assumed that her boyfriend would be coming also. Maybe he just wasn't there yet. Kath's boyfriend James is someone I don't know well at all, I don't have any classes with him, I just know he's cute looking. "Where is your boyfriend?" I ask.
"Oh, we broke up, I really don't want to talk about it," She looked pretty upset about it, so I just left that convocation and sat next to her on the bench.
"Jake should be here soon," I say, trying to be convincing. At least I hope he will be here soon. A few minutes pass and there is no sign of him. Kath and I had been sat on the bench in silence. I really wish I didn't bring up her ex boyfriend, I think I have upset her. I'm just about to say sorry when I hear that familiar voice.
"Kate! Sorry I'm late," He says in a fake kind of way, and doesn't give a reason why he's late. Oh dear, am I turning into the girlfriend from hell or what? Does it matter why he's late? No! He's here now and that's what matters.
I indicate Kath, "This is Kath from school," I indicate Jake, "and Kath, this is Jake."
"Oh now! You're a cutie! How old are you?" Kath seems to be flirting... with my boyfriend!
"I'm nearly 17, and thanks, your not to bad yourself," He was flirting back! What was going on?!
"Oh Kate, you have a nice boyfriend! How did you two meet?" She seems to be only talking to Jake, as she is only looking at him.
"I'm not her boyfriend, we're just mates," He replies, looking straight into her eyes, as if I'm not even there. Maybe I'm just being silly, but there really seems to be a connection with these two. And what does he mean he's not my boyfriend?!
"Kate said in school that you are her boyfriend." I still seem to not be there to them both. My head starts to pound, I can feel my face got red, not that anyone would notice.
"Well she wasn't telling the truth," He means I was lying, which makes me go even redder, "That's just what Kate wants, but she knows she can't have me." Oh my god! What did he have to say that for?! Is this my friend? Or someone that looks like my friend but doesn't act like them. "Sorry, but I have to go now, people to see, things to do and all that. Can I get your number Kath? I'll give you a text sometime." Jake was full power coming onto Kath right in front of me, even though we had sex just the other night! I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming, so I pinch myself to make sure, but no, I'm awake. This must be some kind of other world; Jake wouldn't really do this to me. Would he?
Once they had swapped numbers Jake walked away, without even saying bye to me, it really was like I wasn't there. Jake doesn't usually do things like this, I've never known him to ask for girls numbers, or just disappear without saying goodbye to me. I try to push all the confusion from my mind as Kath says she wants to go window shopping. We go into the nearest store to us, which is a drug store. We walk up and down the aisles looking at make-up, at one point I'm sure I see Kath putting eye liner into her pocket, but then think that maybe I'm imagining things. My phone goes off, it's a message. I stand in the middle of the shop to read it. It's from Jake.
K8 we r good friends but
I dnt want u telling people
we are d8ing, we just have
fun. Ok?
Dnt text bck.
I stare at the screen, not believing what I am seeing. My Jake wouldn't say something like that, what is happening? I hear a phone beep, it's Kath's.
"My phone now, we are just so popular! I'm just going to go outside to read this," I wasn't really sure why Kath had to go outside to read a text, but I followed anyway. I looked over Kath's shoulder while she was getting her phone out of her bag, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't Jake, but when I looked into her bag I saw loads of make-up, which is normal for a girl, except the make-up all looked new, I saw some bracelets and bangles and necklaces, loads of different jewellery. These things could of been her stuff that she just carries around with her all the time, but I found that hard to believe as some of the things still had tags on them. "Who's the text from?" I ask. Still worried that it might be from Jake.
"Oh, it's my Mum, I have to go home now. I'll see you tomorrow." With that she walked away, leaving me in town on my own, which doesn't usually happen as Jake is usually with me. The walk from town to my house is a bit of a long walk, and not exactly fun on my own, but what else could I do? So I start to walk home, and think about Jake, and how the other night with him was so amazing. Why is he being so odd with me? If he doesn't want to date me then that is okay, I'm fine with being friends with him, I've been fine with it before. Although we hadn't had sex before. I'm not stupid, I know that people have sex without dating them, but that isn't what it's like with me and Jake, we have been best friends forever, why wouldn't we date after having sex? I was so in my own world that I didn't see her coming towards me.
"Oi! Dork face! Tell your mate Jake to stop leaving messages on my website, or I'll stab you bitch!" It was Faye. She pulls out a knife, just a little one, but looks really Sharpe. She pushes me up against a wall by the side of the road and holds the blade to my throat. "Maybe I should just do it anyway?" I start to shake. Is she going to do it? Really? I nearly pee myself when she suddenly moves and swivels around to face her friends. "She's not worth the trouble." Faye walks away with her group of friends and they are all laughing, laughing at me! I grab my throat, trying so hard to gulp down air. Tears begin to roll down my face. Jake is usually here to protect me from this sort of thing. I start to run home, not wanting anyone to see me in this state. By the time I got to the front of my house I was coughing, coughing up blood, loads of it. I stumble into my house and up to my bedroom and collapse on my bed. I decide to make a rollie to smoke; it's all I can do to get my mind off of what's just happened. But my eyes drift to the photo on top of my desk; it was me and Jake, when we had gone on holiday together. We were on the beech smiling our heads off. Fresh tears begin to drip down my cheeks. This isn't happening. This is all a dream. I tell myself this over and over in my head, whilst hugging the picture and crying.

Really interesting!
Do you really walk like that clip of the cat with some disorder that you put up a while back?
PS: it def is Bendycat keeping you single: chuck him out!

DS: Best not then honey, I can't hear the hip noises but my ankle does decide to snap to make up for it;) Funny isn't it that there's alway s something which'll gross us out!
Gordie: 'ello, nice to see you here:) Yes, it's very painful, and yes it does have certain advantages too ;)
Alhi: Bendycat heard your suggestion so promptly decided to convince me she's far too feeble to cope elsewhere by vomiting all over the kitchen floor!
As for how I walk, if I'm just pottering about my flat not too badly, you perhaps wouldn't notice the hip movement...however by the time I've tried to walk outside for 20+meters say it'll be increasingly obvious. I think I walk a bit like one of those old fashioned dolls which had the funny joints (no shock there!) where you sort of see the hip being rotated in the socket rather than any kind of smooth movement. I'll have to get F to film my walking instead of failing to describe it, however I appear to be a foot fetish star on youtube so it might have to wait! How are you? xx

I watched, holding my breath the whole time. Then at the end, I realised that my hips do that too. So, I'm not green anymore!
- 12:41 pm
Couldn't see too much hip-wise - but jolly nice to look at your bottom for 40 seconds.
- 2:32 pm
- Mr. Nighttime said...
Ok, so can this be classified as "EDS porn?" ;-)
- 3:56 pm
- alhi said...
I always thought I walked really funny before the op (I know I did, a kind surgeon told me at the age of 22 I walked with a wiggle: I comforted myself by telling myself that some people try to walk like me for years!) but only those people with some sort of hip problems noticed. And then came out in droves after the replacement to tell me how great I looked and how I was so much better!
bendycat def needs to go if he throws up!
- 3:57 pm
- Achelois said...
I do that too, hard to see just what it does on the footage though my guess is most of the men are just looking at your pert backside!! Your bums better than mine so will not be videoing me and my bendy body parts! Its ok when you have a handy wall to hang onto and a nearby sofa but when it happens outside people just think you are drunk I find as popping it back in in the middle of the street gets people crossing the road.
- 9:24 pm
- Constable Confused.com said...
You do have a nice bum though! Does it hurt when you do that? My right ankle sounds the same first thing in the morning after having been broken 3 times. I am not as bendy as you though! Take care hun.

Title: The Curse of King Neptune
Author: Sorceress Fantasia
Pairings: 1+2, R+various, 13x6
Warnings: Humour, OOC-ness, Duo in drag, random silliness, nice Relena
Archive: Lev's Lair
Disclaimer: I tried sending a letter to Santa and ask him for Duo, but that letter bounced. Apparently, Santa is hooked on email nowadays, and has cut off his postal service. So no, I do not own GW. And the fanfic is a parody of a short story called 'The Curse of Hai Leng Ong' by Goh Sin Tub, which I do not lay claim to either. Lastly, the song 'Lucky' belongs to Britney Spears. Not mine. Lyrics have been slightly altered to fit the fanfic.
Note: This fic was called 'The Legend of Hai Long Wang' before the major revision. And I do mean major.
Thanx to Duo-chan for beta-ing! ^^
For as long as humanly possible, people claimed that there was a supreme being who lived in and dominated the seven seas. He was the Dragon king of the seas, King Neptune if you like, Hai Long Wang in Chinese, Old Nick of the deep or even Poseidon. People believed that he wielded great powers that enabled him to soothe raging waters into quiet waves or toss the tranquil oceans into angry tides. The ocean was his playground, and no one ever, ever doubted that. And from what was passed on from sailor to sailor, generation to generation, it seemed that King Neptune had many treasures.
He certainly had riches. In fact, he probably had infinite amounts of those gold coins and rare jewels humans would kill to have. Literally. And humans had left behind an untold amount of wealth on all those ships that were sunk by human greed. Food was most likely not a big problem too, if at all. After all, numerous marine animals filled the ocean waters. If he wanted, he could have sashimi or sharks' fins soup anytime. And surely, there was a whole myriad of stories to keep him entertained, most of which would probably have originated from all those phantom ghost ships that cruised along. But perhaps his greatest hobby was to detonate bombs and dynamites to create all those scary tsunamis.
And if all those weren't enough to keep him sufficiently entertained, he could always choose to sing. Some sailors have even claimed to having heard him sing on some occasions. Most of them agreed that he had a nice voice, but he always sounded upset singing a certain song.
"He's so lucky, he's a king
But he cry, cry, cries in his
lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?"
So what was the formidable King Neptune short of in his life? Few said it was the lack of oxygen down there, but most agreed that it was the lack of company, especially after they caught the lyrics. And that's where our story starts… a long time ago…
Back then, most of the world population still lived in small villages, and a good amount of them were situated near rivers so as to take advantage of the water so easily available. As a result, many villagers earned their living from the oceans, working day in and day out as fishermen.
However, in that day and age, traveling on the ocean was a difficult and often, dangerous task. Many had met their end in the icy waters, and that eventually led to the construction of shrines to pray for the fishermen's safety. It soon became tradition to offer one's prayers at the shrine of King Neptune, and those who did not follow the tradition would find themselves in deep peril while fishing.
This was a clever move, for it kept King Neptune happy, and the fishermen enjoyed good catches.
However, one day, a fisherman called Noventa forgot about the tradition, courtesy of his old age. And that led to the wrath of King Neptune, who saw Noventa leaving straight for the sea instead of his shrine from his crystal ball. Angrily, he stalked off to teach the human a little lesson he would never forget as long as he lived.
The next thing Noventa was aware of was that he was clinging to his wooden boat for his dear life amidst the roaring waves. He had lost his oars a long time ago, and his boat had been tossed out into the deeper parts of the oceans, far away from the usual fishing grounds. Belatedly, he recalled the fact that he had forgotten to visit the shrine before he went on his fishing trip. Scared out of his wits, he screamed for help.
"King Neptune! Help! Please save me!" He pleaded and begged, afraid for his life. He got so scared that he started spouting nonsensical stuff, claiming that he had an eighty years old mother waiting for his measly income. King Neptune wasn't going to buy that; old Noventa was probably seventy himself, judging from his white hair. No way was he going to believe that he had a mother only ten years older than himself. But Noventa would not give up. He continued, shouting about how his entire family, that consisted of a younger brother, an older sister, and a dozen young sons and daughters that depended on him.
Now normally, King Neptune wouldn't really care for all that. But somehow, he was interested in the 'daughters' part, and he quickly rose to the surface.
Noventa, seeing the stalwart king, was shocked out of his system. He started to stutter, "Ki… King… King Neptune?!"
King Neptune leaned in a little, and asked, "Did you say daughters?"
The old fisherman only nodded, still pretty dumbfounded.
"How many daughters do you have?"
"Two…" Noventa caught on, and added, more boldly, "Oh powerful King! Please let me return home safely! I'll give you one of my daughters in return of this great favour!"
King Neptune briefly considered the agreement. He had almost nothing to lose, except... "But what if I don't fancy any of your daughters?" he asked, more to himself than to Noventa.
The fisherman immediately thought of a solution to the problem. "Well, you could pick from any of my descendents! It doesn't have to be my daughters! I'll tell them about this as soon as I get home so they'll be mentally prepared!"
Soon, both parties agreed to the deal and Noventa was sent home by a gigantic wave made by King Neptune. On his boat, obviously. King Neptune didn't want him to drown… yet…
And old Noventa survived the ordeal, much to the relief of his maker. But he had left his progeny with the devil to pay.
True to his words, Noventa immediately gathered his family in his living room and told them about the story. Starting from the part where he had forgotten to visit the shrine, to the conversation between King Neptune and himself. Not a detail was left out. After he finished the story, his family clapped for a story well told and suggested him to participate in the story-telling contest that was scheduled to take place a few days later in the village. He did, and won the first prize. After the contest, he told his family the story again. When he insisted that it was true, his family promptly carted him to the mental hospital.
Even so, they still feared the truth of the tale. What if it was true? Who would be chosen to be King Neptune's bride? Noventa's wife used to scare his daughters with the tale, and as young kids of age not more than five, they were always frightened to no end. But their fears decreased as they grew older, probably because they came to realize that they were without exception, the two ugliest girls in the world. But deep down in their hearts, they both secretly hoped that King Neptune would come along and claim her, something better than nothing at all. Who knows; he might actually be a hot husband, for all the ugly talks circulated about him. And after that, for a long time, the Noventa family gave birth only to boys, making the fear a straight zero.
About a hundred years after the deal, a girl was finally born into the family. And unlike her great, great, great aunts, she was a beauty with wheat-blonde hair that shimmered under the sunlight. Beautiful baby-blue eyes that shone with inner intelligence adorned her face, and she had an unyielding spirit to match. Her name was Relena, and the darling of the family.
When she was ten, her mother, Lady Une, passed away from severe food poisoning. Or so her father had told her. However, judging from the fact that her mother's face had changed several shades of green before finally dying, Relena doubted it very much. It would seem that it was more like an intentional poisoning. Trieze's remarriage a few months later didn't help curb her suspicions. But since Lady Une wasn't a very good mother, in fact, she was more like a total bitch, Relena said nothing about what she thought. Besides, Relena liked her new mother- erm… scratch that, make that a new father- whose name was Zechs. He was a kind soul who doted very much on her, and they got along very well. And Zechs had brought along his own son from a previous marriage with a woman named Noin, who had also died mysteriously from 'food poisoning'.
The young boy was called Duo, and he was a happy-go-lucky type of guy who charmed everyone who knew him to boot with his long chestnut braid and exotic violet orbs. To call him a half-brother was definitely correct. Duo seemed like a half-brother, half-sister. Somehow, one of his hobbies was to dress in drag, and Relena's wardrobe soon became one of his favourite hangouts (although this was kept a secret from their parents). Despite it all, the two half-siblings became very close. Few secrets, if any, existed between them. Trieze and Zechs just watched them grow up from a distance, very satisfied with their relationship.
Soon, the two grew up to be fine young teenagers, still as close as ever. They both excelled in whatever they did, and were admired by everyone in school. While most of the girls threw themselves all over Duo and flirted outrageously with him, he never showed much interest in them, claiming that they just weren't his cup of tea. However, that didn't stop Duo from flirting with them. Relena, on the other hand, did manage to get herself a couple of boyfriends from her numerous suitors.
However, Trieze, had long told her of the deal made by her great, great, great, great granddad, and he had warned her to be careful. Relena, having grown up in an era where science had overshadowed superstitions, refused outright to believe it. At first. As the years went by, her fear became more apparent. What if it was true? What if King Neptune did indeed choose her to be his bride?
Soon, Relena made it a point to curse Noventa every night before she slept. If she could, she would have sewn a voodoo doll for the old man. But the fact that he was already dead made that seem ridiculous, even to Relena. Her only consolation was that she heard Noventa had drowned soon after he arrived in the mental hospital. And the wretched deal caused her to choose her friends, specifically boyfriends, wisely.
Her first boyfriend, Trowa, who was also her classmate, was a handsome guy many girls swooned over. He was considerate, and always respectful towards Relena. It seemed that there was nothing to fault him on, and Relena got along with him fairly well. Even Duo thought he was handsome, but with respect to his sister, he generously stepped aside. However, Trowa's interest in water sports and the sea and beaches soon made her worry. She was afraid that he was King Neptune in disguise, and he had come to fetch her. Duo saw her apprehensiveness and decided to help her, approaching Trowa with her help. However, his tactlessness caused him to break the news to Trowa rather bluntly, to say the least. And Relena finally found out that Trowa had no sense of humour at all. Trowa was terribly insulted by what he thought was an insinuation that he was a monster, and he immediately dumped Relena. And Relena quickly found it interesting to sing the teapot song and do the hula at the same time for the next hundred days or so while drunk on whatever alcoholic that came her way. The task of waking her up fell to, of course, poor Duo.
The Quatre episode was even shorter.
Quatre was an artist, who had stolen Relena's heart with her portrait, his first gift to her. In his pictures he captured everything: forests, water, light, and the very essence of life. Relena liked this one a lot, she decided. But of all things, Quatre particularly enjoyed to draw something she was afraid of. The oceans. In fact, many of his paintings of the ocean were the ones that had won him his numerous art awards. Worried again, she broke up with him soon and spent the next few weeks throwing darts at pictures of the ocean.
There were many others who suffered shorter courtships (or could it even be considered as one?) on account of the ever-present deal with King Neptune.
For example, the nice young man whom she had met at a wedding dinner. He seemed to be scoring with Relena until he revealed the name of his new company: Sea King Pte Ltd. Perhaps just the wrong chemistry.
Then there was this rich man who had moved in on Relena during a party. He had pretty much swept her off her feet totally, thanks to the amount of champagne they had, until he disclosed the name of his newly acquired ship: "Neptune". He practically skewered himself on the barbecue pit.
The quickest in-and-out case was with a man in the Food and Beverage industry. Things were working out, but then he just had to admit to something. "I enjoy nothing but seafood. Good seafood would make me feel like a king." Wrong chemistry too, perhaps from eating too much fish.
Every time she broke up with her boyfriends, or when she dumped her prospective suitors, she would cry all night. Just what was her great, great, great, great grandfather thinking of when he made that silly deal to save his own life? Even though he was already dead, he was still wrecking havoc in her life. And Duo would just sit next to her, passing the endless boxes of tissues and consoling her.
"It's not fair! Why does this have to happen to me?" She wailed.
"Because you're a girl?" Duo suggested carefully. "And because your great, great, great, great grandpa made that deal?"
"He's such a jerk! He made that deal! Not me! Why do I have to suffer the consequences?" She cried, hammering the stake deeper into a doll that had a piece of ribbon tied to its head with the word 'Noventa'.
Duo flinched. And everyone thought that his sister was demure and gentle. Gods, if only they knew. "Well, just relax, 'Lena. Maybe King Neptune won't choose you after all."
"Who then? I'm the only girl in the family!"
"I'm sure there'll be other girls in the family soon. Your great, great, great, great grandpa did say that King Neptune could choose any girl from his descendents…"
"I hope so too. I don't want to live in the oceans…"
'I doubt he'd want you to either.' Duo thought, cringing again when Relena doubled her efforts in torturing the doll with various needles and pins.
At long last, she seemed to finally have met Mr. Right. This time, her boyfriend was a Chinese boy called Wufei. And she was totally head over heels in love with this one. To her relief, Wufei hated the oceans. He was an architect and everything he did had nothing to do with the seas. He also scored points in other areas. For instance, he despised seafood and he couldn't even float in water, let alone swim or do water sports. However, she was *still* worried. What if King Neptune had decided to use another tactic to get close to her? Besides, Wufei had an affinity with dragons, naming his own pet dog Shenlong, which meant godly dragon. As a Chinese, he always claimed that he was a descendent of the dragon too. And what was King Neptune? The dragon king of the sea.
So one day, Relena decided to ask him personally. They were having dinner together, and a lovely candlelight one at that. Just as Relena was about to ask, Duo arrived and interrupted the moment. To her sheer bewilderment, Duo was wearing a simple black dress, and a crystal cross around his neck, with his chestnut locks carefully brushed out. He also wore Relena's favourite black boots. He skipped merrily over to them and took the seat beside Relena's, after Wufei invited him to join them. But Wufei was quick to ask when had Relena gained a sister, since he remembered that she had only a half-brother whom he had never met. Duo was even quicker to answer that he was Relena's cousin, and smiled widely.
The dinner was an awkward moment for Relena. She didn't know what to say, so she just ate quietly while Wufei and Duo got engaged in a light conversation. After dinner, Wufei, the ever gentleman, offered to walk the two girls home. However, Relena politely declined, claiming that she was going to go shopping with her 'cousin'. As soon as Wufei was out of sight, she grabbed Duo aside.
"Duo? What's going on? Dad and Daddy are going to have your hide for dressing in drag in public!" Relena hissed, finally noticing just how red her brother's face was. "And have you been drinking? You know Daddy hates anything to do with alcohol because he got so drunk one time that he danced on a bar counter, naked!"
He shrugged, hiccupping slightly. "Yeah, I remember… Dad kept a picture of that all framed up until Daddy threatened to thrash up the house…" He laughed. "And about my clothes… I know they won't like it, but it's ok! I'll be leaving soon, so they won't get the chance to do anything!"
"Leaving? To where?" She asked, surprised that he had never told her. "Were you going to tell me at all, or were you just going to disappear? How could you do this to me?" Relena nearly cried, upset that her only brother had withheld such an important piece of information from her.
"Well, I was going to tell you. But I only decided on it just yesterday!" Duo chirped in explanation.
"But where are you going? And why? It's so sudden!"
"Well…" Duo was about to answer when a young man appeared, and he snaked an arm around Duo's waist possessively. The man was a young man who looked as cool and collected as an ice block. Still, Relena could not deny that he was very attractive, and the messy mob of brown hair only added on to his sex appeal. And although he looked like a scrawny short guy, his arms rippled with muscles that could probably bend steel pipes. He was probably a sailor, for he had an anchor tattooed on one arm, and a little dragon on the other.
Duo looked at him and smiled. "Heero!"
The man only gave a 'hn' in reply, but he tightened his hold on the lovely creature. And Relena could see the tiny curl in his lips, the only sign that he was happy.
"DUO!?" She exclaimed, feeling her jaws dropping uncontrollably. "Who is he? And what is he doing here? What are you two doing? And…"
"Relax, 'Lena!" Duo quickly put up a hand to stop her barrage of questions. When she finally calmed down a little, he continued, "This is Heero, and he's my… boyfriend."
Heero smiled widely at the answer, and he pulled Duo closer to give him a peck on his cheek.
"You're leaving with him?"
Relena turned to Heero, still in disbelief. "And you're taking my brother to where?"
"My hometown." He promptly answered, and noticed Relena scrutinizing his arm. "You like my tattoo? I'll show you a really good one." And he peeled off his shirt.
On his back was a large tattoo that depicted a man surrounded by fishes. It had a caption, and it read: King Neptune.
"You're King Neptune!" Relena shrieked.
"Well, that's my nickname. My friends call me that. But I'd prefer you call me Heero Yuy, and this beauty here," he pointed to Duo, "is my honey baby. The one I picked up from the whole lot of you around here. This one's my choice."
"I thought you'd come for a girl…" Relena blurted.
"My Duo is almost a girl. It doesn't really matter to me anyway. Besides, I can always let Duo go for a sex change operation when we get back to my hometown in Japan. And then we can get married… and we'll live happily ever after. And if the authorities refuse to let us get married, I'll barge in there with a .44 magnum… no, a bazooka and blow up the place," Heero mumbled in reply.
Duo 'awwed', and gave Heero another peck on the cheeks.
And hand in hand, the couple moved away and disappeared from Relena's sight.
At that moment, Relena let out a whoop of joy, knowing that she was finally free from the curse…
Somewhere under the sea, a raven-haired Chinese boy peered at his crystal ball.
"Hn. Onna." He muttered, and picked up his glass of champagne for a tiny sip.
…Or maybe not.

Suspended NFLer Ray Rice due to make case for return to the field
By Steve Ginsburg
(Reuters) - Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice is due to begin making his case on Wednesday to return to the field after the National Football League indefinitely suspended him from the game for claims of domestic violence.
Rice, 27, claims that he was punished twice for the same offense, a one-punch knockout of his then-fiancee Janay Palmer during a February altercation at an Atlantic City, New Jersey, casino.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who is expected to attend the two days of hearings in New York, initially gave Rice a two-game suspension for the fight, but in September after video of the punch went viral, suspended the player indefinitely.
Rice says he explained the incident to Goodell, but the commissioner claims his account was "ambiguous" and was brought into focus when the video of the punch materialized.
Goodell said he had not seen the video from inside the casino's elevator until it surfaced on the Internet.
The Ravens cut Rice and his $35 million contract, amid a wave of public criticism that the league had turned a blind eye to domestic violence by players.
Other Ravens executives and members of the players union are expected to speak during the hearing before arbitrator Barbara Jones, a former federal judge. The hearing will be closed to the press and public and Jones has issued a gag order forbidding participants from discussing it publicly.
Jones has issued a gag order requiring that all parties involved not comment on the pending hearing. Continued...

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3401) Removing a ConnectionEventListener from a PooledConnection during its connectionClosed() callback causes other ConnectionEventListener callbacks to be missed
|Wed, 28 May 2008 12:51:46 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3401?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12600458#action_12600458 ] Kristian Waagan commented on DERBY-3401: ---------------------------------------- I had a look at ' d3401-statement_events.diff'. I think it looks good, but I have one question. Any reason why you allow null objects into the list of listeners in ClientPooledConnection40 and ClientXAConnection40? Can't you get an NPE when you iterate through the list of listeners and invoke the callback method? I ran the new test(s) successfully, but modifying it to add a null listener causes failures. +1 to commit if you plan to address the NPE elsewhere or in a followup patch. > Removing a ConnectionEventListener from a PooledConnection during its connectionClosed() callback causes other ConnectionEventListener callbacks to be missed > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3401 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3401 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JDBC > Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3 > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: d3401-statement_events.diff, d3401-statement_events.stat > > > A ConnectionEventListener should be able to remove itself as a listener during a callback without affecting any other callbacks. > DataSourceTest.subtestPooledRemoveListenerOnClose() tests the scenario but calls to it will be commented out in the fixture testPooledReuseOnClose() (using this bug number). > Issue is that such a remove will modify the eventListener Vector in EmbedPooledConnection while it is being enumerated over. > An idea for a fix would be to first change the Vector over to a new-style collection, such as an implementation of List, then work off a copy of the collection when calling the callbacks. I don't think eventListener needs to be a synchronized collection, its access should be already synchronized on EmbedPooledConnection. > I imagine that a similar issue exists for adding a new callback during callback processing, fixing this bug would fix that issue as well though no tests have been written for the add case. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Oh, stop looking at this little box and just read the story.
This is a dumb idea. Yeah, it took You this long to realize it, but now that You did, it's too late to turn back.
Like every idiot hero in every horror movie ever filmed, You've accepted a challenge from your friends to climb up the hill, break into the abandoned mansion and come back with a souvenir, a little reminder of Your bravery.
No such thing as haunted houses, You told Your friends nonchalantly. This isn't a stupid movie or a book, You firmly reminded them. You were the "skeptic", the one who would always bring them back to reality. Your friends would believe anything they saw or anything they read about. You were their anchor to the dull, the mundane, the boring.
But every group needs someone like that, You think. One can't spend all day being scared of things that go bump in the night. So when they nervously joked about breaking into 'that big old house on the hill' in class, You laughed and said "Sure, I'll do it."
They shouldn't have been surprised, with Your reputation as the skeptic and all, but they stared at you anyway. You smiled.
"I'll do it," You repeated. "Come on, it's not really haunted," You said. "Just show me where this 'haunted house' is and I'll show you guys myself."
Maybe it was Your confidence, that devil-may-care attitude of Yours that won them over. The murmurs of disagreement were soon drowned out by laughter and claps on your back. And then came the icing on the cake.
"That would be an awfully brave thing for you to do," says Kate Ronan, the prettiest girl in class. This is the first time she's talked to You all year. You feel a lead weight drop into your stomach, but you keep calm.
"Oh, it's nothing," You begin modestly, but she interrupts.
"I'm serious, it's really brave of you to do that," she insists, her deep blue eyes shimmering. You lose yourself in those eyes for a couple of seconds, thinking, I'd do anything to get her to notice me.
"Uh, well," You say, trying not to stammer. "I could, uh, bring something back from the house if you'd like."
And before You knew it, You're standing in front of the gate of the huge house. Suddenly, the immense size of the building strikes you. It always looked big from a distance, but up close, it's gigantic. Definitely over a hundred years old, with a distinctively Victorian look, creeper plants grow on every exposed surface, covering the brown dirt-stained walls with green.
You feel an air of malevolence surrounding the house. No wonder people were so quick to call it haunted.
"Breaking in" is ridiculously easy. A small tree grows just outside the walls. You climb up, shimmy over to the branch that ends on the other side of the wall, and jump down.
Almost as if the tree had grown there for that purpose, You think absentmindedly.
Suddenly, the wind picks up. The leaves start rustling as they flutter towards You, and at that moment the sun sets, and almost immediately, darkness falls on the grounds.
You panic for a second, as everything is obscured by the dark, but then your eyes adjust and you begin to see normally. Your breathing slows, and you suddenly feel a sense of warmth despite the cold.
You think that walking into the house is a bad idea. There's no telling how long that building has been neglected, and a roof could easily collapse on you. No, it's better to skulk around the expansive garden, and see what you can pick up.
You walk around to the back of the house, marveling at how beautiful the grounds are. Even though the place has been abandoned since the Sixties, and the flowers are long gone, replaced by weeds and overgrowth, you still feel that this garden was once grand. The air of malevolence fades away. You imagine what it must have been like, being a child in this garden, playing here. How happy it must have been.
Suddenly a thunderclap brings You back to reality. The lush, beautiful garden You imagine is once again the overgrown monstrosity you are standing in. It's quite a shock. You don't usually go into flights of fancy like this.
It starts raining, a slow drizzle at first, but it soon builds up. You're soaked. Better do what needs to be done and get out of here.
You're behind the house now, in what must have been a courtyard. You walk on, Your feet crunching on the gravel, or stepping onto one of the broken tiles. The feeling of happiness slowly subsides, as if the rain is washing it away.
Haunted, You think again. You quickly shake your head. No such thing as haunted.
Something white flashes at the corner of your eye!
You snap your head in it's direction. It's an owl. It stares at you indifferently. You breathe a sigh of relief. You walk on, chiding Yourself on how easily-
You feel something brushing against Your shoulder!
This time you jump back, started. It's a low hanging branch from a tree. Your heart is racing. What's wrong with me? You think.
And that's when You see the statue.
You're surprised. How could You not have seen it before? It's exquisite. Carved in what looks like marble, the statue is stained and brown from the vegetation growing all over it. You approach, curiously, and as you do you see the vines hanging from it's arms, rooted firmly in the ground. Upon closer inspection, you find that it's a statue of a woman, with a long, flowing dress and long hair that reaches past her shoulders.
The detail is amazing, even after so many years. As you look at her face, you see timeless perfect features, and beautiful lips locked in a smile. Vegetation clings to her whole body except her head, as if the Earth is reclaiming this statue.
But You feel as if something is wrong. You look at her arms again. They look like they've been straining against the vines.
That's strange, You think. If this was carved before the house was abandoned, then-
And then the penny drops. You look at her face once again. Before you can think another thought, the rain becomes even heavier, and a bolt of lightning flashes across the sky.
The light is so intense, You can't see anything for a few seconds. When Your vision clears, You see a beautiful woman, with flawless, fair complexion, in a long, flowing green dress and perfect blond hair that reaches past her shoulders. She examines herself, and then she looks at You with green eyes. Then those perfect, full lips begin to smile.
You experience a surge of emotions. Fear, desperation, madness. This must be what it's like to have been a statue in this courtyard for so many years.
The woman, now alive, begins to walk away. You call out to her, wanting to ask her to stop and explain, but You can't speak. Suddenly, You feel something tying Your arms down. You try to fight it, but Your arms don't respond. You try to move Your legs, but they remain perfectly still.
You try to scream, but Your voice doesn't obey Your commands. You can't turn your head, so You are forced to look at the woman walk away.
As she walks away, she turns to look at You, and You see the mad grin on her face. Realization dawns on You that You are smiling as well, Your face set in stone in a faint, never-changing smile.

A trust is an arrangement whereby someone owns and manages money or property for another person's benefit. Like a guardianship, a trustee has decision-making authority over the trust property, but no court is involved in the trustee's action–the person who creates the trust defines the scope of the trustee's power. There are many different trust types, including probate trusts, income trusts, spendthrift trusts, and educational trusts. For example, a living trust allows you to manage your property while you are alive and to direct who will manage it if you become incapable of doing so. In essence, you choose your own "guardian" in advance and avoid having the court do it for you. A trust attorney reviews the many reasons for establishing a trust with you, and can ensure your trust will be legally valid.

Kentucky schools connect with homeschool kids via online courses
priceWayne County Schools will pay for online courses if homeschool students enroll in the district
Wayne County Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Allen Clark is offering a deal to homeschool families: If a homeschool student is willing to enroll in the district taking online courses, the district will pay for the classes.
"We assign a teacher from our high school and they work with the child," Clark said.
If the student passes the classes, which cost about $100 total, Wayne County can count them in its average daily attendance numbers and receive state funds — about $3200 per student, per school year, according to Clark.
About seven or eight of the district's 75 homeschool students took him up on the offer in 2015-16, and he hopes that 15 to 20 students enroll for 2016-17.

Astros rookie Tyler White wins AL player of the week
The storybook opening week for Astros rookie Tyler White was capped off by winning the American League player of the week award.
White made his major league debut on opening day in New York by singling in his first at bat and then remaining hot throughout the week.
White finished the six game opening week with 10 hits and three home runs, along with nine runs batted in. He leads the Astros in each of those categories.
The first major league home run came on Friday in the series finale against the Yankees. He followed that with home runs in each of the next two games in Milwaukee.
A former 33rd round draft pick by the Astros in 2013, White made stops with each team in the Astros organization before making the club out of spring training this season.
White is set to play his first game in front of his home fans at Minute Maid Park Monday night in the Astros home opener against the Kansas City Royals.
