Lights Out: Part FiveMature
Kevyn stood in the driveway, cracked cement and overgrown weeds around her feet. The long years without caretakers had caused the house to fall into a state of
disrepair. Parts of the roof were beginning to cave in, and black shingles were
missing from large patches in the roof, exposing the wood framework, parts of
which were rotting or missing. Glass glittered dimly in the tall grass, their
existence being pointed out only by the small glimmers of sunlight that managed
to peer through the thick, grey clouds. The air hummed with the electricity of
a coming storm, making Kevyn's skin prickle with excitement.
Storms were the best time to go hunting, Kevyn decided. That way, the humans were already filled with fear when she fed. Fear made them taste better.
She exhaled, a long slow breath, and slowly picked her way through the rubble of the driveway. The thick wooden door was rotten and barely hanging on the
hinges, so she kicked it once, and it fell with a resonating thud that shook
the entire house. Dust rose from the floor in a brown-grey cloud, then slowly
fell back to cover the floor like it had for the past fifty years.
A sudden strong wind blew, causing the house to shift slightly and moan loudly as if it were alive. Kevyn's pupils dilated and shifted from dusky gold to
brilliant silver. She was in tracking mode, not for food, but for a memory.
Her senses in high alert, she walked through the large entryway to the staircase that had once been used for servants. She remembered this house when it had been like that. She had lived here when the house had first been alive. But
those times were long gone, and now she, like the house, were dead, or rather
in a state of suspended animation, existing somewhere between the living and
the dead.
The house creaked as the wind blew again and Kevyn leaped over a stair step that would have broken beneath her weight. She let her feet lead her, they knew
where they were going. Her eyes half closed, she came to the first landing and
the door that led to the main hallway.
This hallway she knew well. This was the hallway her room had been on. This was the first house where she and her sisters, Tracey and Melissa, hadn't had to share a room.
A low growl escaped Kevyn's lips. In truth, she'd really hated her whole family, but especially her sisters. They were so annoying with all of their whining and wanting and lying and crying. Kevyn had rejoiced when Asher had turned her. In fact, it was her coaxing that made him kill her family that night fifty years
ago. She never understood why she didn't do it herself, but it had already been
done, and there was no changing who had done it.
Slowly, as if in a trance, Kevyn walked down the hallway, each step stirring up small clouds of grey-brown dust from the ragged velvet carpet, like small breaths
from a dying dragon.
She stopped outside of the last room on the left. This was the room where it had happened. This was the room where she'd invited Asher in through the window,
not knowing what he was. This was the room where Asher had killed her and she'd
been reborn.
Slowly, Kevyn pushed open the door. The hinges were rusted from the long years of disuse and protested with a loud, grating shriek as she pushed it open. The
room was exactly as it had been that night, save for the thick layer of dust
that coated everything like a thick blanket. She walked in, focusing on her bed
as the memories came rushing back to her like a tidal wave. She could see
Asher, crouched in the windowsill outside, asking her permission to enter, his
silver-white eyes coaxing her from the bed to the window. After he was in, he'd
covered her mouth with his hand, his eyes commanding her not to make a single
sound, no matter what. And oddly, she'd never had the slightest inclination to
do so.
She remembered the feeling of his hands, slightly rough with strange calluses, pulling back her hair and pushing down the top of her nightgown to reveal her collarbone.
"Is that why you came back here?" asked a voice that was suddenly there and too close.
Kevyn spun away and landed in a crouch near the door.
Asher laughed, his eyes silver-white and unreadable. "You're too easy to predict and sneak up on, Kevyn. However, you're smart and good, which is obviously why you're still alive," he said as he walked toward her and grabbed her arms to pull her up. "We're friends here, no need to get defensive like that."
She hissed and jerked away from him. "I don't need your help. And why are you here?"
"You never did need help from anyone, let alone me. Even after you were first changed, you were always wanting to do everything by yourself. You knew the
laws once you were changed," Asher said bitterly.
"I'm not some chattel for you to own, Asher. I broke that law for good reason," Kevyn said as she slowly stood, never taking her eyes off his.
Asher shook his head and laughed softly. "You were never chattel to me, Kevyn. You knew that. You knew that before we were both changed. You knew that before anything else, you meant so much more to me."
Kevyn growled at the back of her throat. "Really? Because you were always nothing to me," she said angrily as she stepped out of the room and disappeared into the shadows.
"And that's all I'll ever be to you, isn't it?" Asher asked the shadows where she disappeared.

Canada Student Visa
If you want to apply for a Canada student visa, but not sure how to start or have a specific question, we can help you. Start applying for Canadian immigration today by asking us what you need to know. Our service is completely free of charge, we will provide a fast, complete response to your questions from experts.
Requirements for Student Visa Canada
Most foreign nationals will require a study permit to study in Canada and others will need to apply for a temporary residence Canada visa. Exceptions may include those taking courses lasting less than six months; family members of accredited foreign representatives to Canada; and members of a foreign armed force. Whether or not they need a permit, all applicants must demonstrate:
- Acceptance by a school, university or educational institution in Canada.
- Proof of ability to pay tuition fees, living expenses and return fares to their home country.
- Ability to satisfy health requirements.
Student visa in Canada for short courses
The general rule is that you do not need a study visa for Canada if your course or university exchange scheme lasts six months or less. But those intending to extend their studies beyond the six-month period should still apply for a study permit before arrival. You must still apply for a study permit for a short course where:
- You are considered a minor in the province where you plan to study.
- You intend to work on campus.
- You want to take part in a co-op or internship scheme.
Study and work in Canada
Foreign nationals wishing to combine study and work in Canada will not always require a separate work permit. Those with a valid student visa for Canada may work on the campus of the college where they are registered, either for that institution or a private business. This also applies to graduate and teaching assistants, who may also be allowed to work off campus without a work permit under some circumstances. To learn more about working while on a student visa, contact Global Visas.
Dependent children studying in Canada
The minor children of foreign nationals working or studying in Canada will usually require a study permit to attend school. Exceptions include:
- Minor children attending pre-school or kindergarten.
- Minor children who are refugees or offspring of refugee claimants.
- Dependent children of accredited foreign representatives.
Primary and secondary school age children will need an open study permit, and those of university age will require a study permit for Canada.

Manager info
Year Purchased: 1995
About: I am the daughter of the owner and manage the property. My father built the home and I have been traveling there for 22 years multiple times a year. I love Kauai and Moloaa is a peace of heaven for me. Woodrose Plantation has become a part of my family. I have 5 children and have been married for 26 years. We vacation here every summer for a month or more. This is truly a home away from home.
Why Kilauea, HI, USA:
The very private location situated on high ground above the flood and tsunami zones yet close to the bay was paramount. Large beautifully landscaped property with many fruit trees for our use combined with rare and beautiful Plantation Architecture and modern amenities yet green and clean is rare. Proximity to beach and ocean yet enough distance to be safe for families with small children is also hard to find. Sufficient distance from noisy pounding surf in winter yet close enough to feel fresh breezes and hear ocean music requires the perfect distance to beach. Privacy of this Beach makes it safer and devoid of crowds with trees for shade when we've had enough sun.
The Unique Benefits at this Estate:
Moloaa is unique in that it is located in a banana belt and when it is raining in Princeville it is often still sunny in our little bay. We are in a semi-private bay and there is not much parking which makes it less crowded. We have many fruits and a great road to run or bike or walk up to the fruit stand. You can pick wild strawberry guava and passion fruit on your way. Moloaa is truly unlike any other place I have been and if you like to be away from the business of life this is a wonderful place to come.

The atmosphere was perfect! Great service and fantastic tasty food on the plate. The choice of food is excellent even for vegetarians. Of course meat is the star but the fish of the day didn't let me down. Wine is super!

Great food, great service!

This place used to be fantastic, unfortunately I didn't enjoy the last 2 times. 100 quid for 2 steaks and sides, you can get much better else where. The staff is very nice and welcoming
((((( 18 oktober 2016 av Jiri Fejgl från London
Really pleasant experience filled with authentic Argentinian dishes as well as wines. Don't miss out on the criola sause with your steak as well as the melted cheese starter that is definitely for two people.
((((( 4 oktober 2016 av Nick Symons från Clapham
Fantastic evening , probably one of the best meals in London in over 5 years. Very relaxed atmosphere with amazing food and great wine recommendations ! Staff were spot on , there if you needed them but not fussing over the table and very helpful on menu and wine selection. Can't wait to go back !

Food, drink and atmosphere was great! Would recommend the restaurant to all. We attended to celebrate birthday's and staff brought desserts with candles, which we were not expecting and had not asked for - great service!
((((* 18 juli 2016 av Georges De laire från Manchester, NH USA
Both the apertizer and the main meal were great. I had the house starter, a board with a variety of meats warm and cold along with olives and chips. The Bifo Ancho was cook as desired and very flavoutful.
((((* 13 juni 2016 av David Cox från London
(((** 1 juni 2016 av Sehr Ahmad från London
Average food. Service very kind but given restaurant was only 30% full not cool for staff not to allow us to have a bigger table. They did this with everyone and so we were all packed together like sardines. Meat was cooked right and very authentic but quality was very average. Having lived in Argentina I had expectations they would be better quality. At £ 66 per person including wine it was quite expensive and not great value for money. We did try the best of cuts of meat and so expected it to be better.

Pastor Kerry Shook
This sermon includes the sermon outline and the full sermon transcript. Below you will see a preview of the outline and a portion of the full sermon.
Live Large
• 2 Kings 13:18-19 (NIV)
Encourage to Greatness
• Psalm 127:3-5 (NIV)
Accept Authority
• Ephesians 6:16 (NIV)
You look worried. What's the deal? Let's just say that that silhouette over there represents every leader because leaders make big targets. A leader in any area is always the one who's going to take the arrows. Some lady screamed down here like I just hit her. Are you okay? Don't worry. But it's true. The person out in front is always the one who takes the arrows of criticism. A leader in any area, you name the area, it can be technology, business, an innovator in any area is always the one who takes the arrows of criticism. Whenever you are on the cutting edge of anything you can expect to experience the cutting edge of criticism. First, there is what I call the arrow of insult. Whenever you are a leader you will always get the arrow of insult. Most of us are pretty insecure people to be honest and whenever we see someone leading and succeeding it makes us feel even more insecure and we cut people down in order to build ourselves up and make ourselves feel a lot better. But it never works. Whenever we criticize someone it just makes you feel worse about yourself. But whenever you lead, you can always expect to take the arrows of insult. Then there is the arrow of who do you think you are? Whenever you lead you'll always get the arrow of who in the world do you think you are anyway to lead? What makes you so special? I remember when our church was 2½ years old. We were just a small congregation and God worked a miracle and opened up 125 acres right here in The Woodlands. I went back to our small congregation and I said I really believe that God wants us to go for this. If we sacrifice, I think He can work a miracle here. Our church voted 300 to nothing to go for it. Then we voted with our finances and we sacrificed, everyone sacrificed, and our little congregation bought 125 acres and it was a miracle of God. I remember some people were saying who does that little church think they are getting 125 acres. They were asking the wrong question. It's not who we think we are, it's who we know God is. Anytime you lead and innovative in any area you will always get the arrow of who do you think you are anyway? But then there's the arrow of flattery. I would say probably the most dangerous arrow that any leader takes is this arrow of flattery because everyone who's ever lead knows that people have a tendency to put you up on a pedestal and think you've got it all together. Some leaders just put people around them that just flatter them the whole time.

We just painted the exterior of our house Conifer by Behr. I didn't know if I would like it but now that it is painted, I love it!

Fernwood Green by Benjamin Moore is a fantastic interior green. It looks great with black and off-white. It is my perfect guest room or home office color.
- June 15, 2016 at 9:28 AM
- Gee Singh Newbanks said...
I just painted our entryway console Valspar Grandma's linen ( used to make home made chalk paint , with an off white wash over it). And we are choosing Valspar green tea leaves when we paint our exterior in the Fall. Both are beautiful sage greens not even a shade apart.
With creamy white trim and a soft black door. The door was just replaced an painted. New beautiful white trimmed windows just got installed.
LUV it.
Thanks for featuring green. So many people feature blues. Nothing against blues, but I have always been a green girl.
Hugs, Gee

You should look at Benjamin Moore's Great Barrington Green. It's a terrific olive green. I've painted all my outdoor entry doors this color and I absolutely love it. Like you I'm trying to figure out what else I can paint...!!

Hello, great selection! I painted the exterior of my house Chatroom and it's perfect. I have been looking for new door colors to compliment it and one of these might be the one!

Just this last season I had the kitchen cabinets in our desert place painted the same color as your picture of the bed ~ lots of folks said "don't do it" but ooh la la did they come out great, glad I took the chance. I think of green as neutral, maybe because of the trees and grass all around us, it goes with everything. It is one of my favorite colors as well.

- Sheila @ Maison de Cinq said...
Oh, like you I just love green! It has been out of favor the last few years which really bummed me out. When I was doing the bedding for my bedroom two years ago I literally couldn't find ANY green options at any of the big catalog retailers (PB, RH, etc). None! I ended up buying an older green RH duvet on Ebay! I'm hoping it's time is coming back! Remember when "Martha Stewart" green was so big in the 90's? I still have green in my master bath, bedroom and living room. But I struggle because it is really hard to find pillows and anything else that will work in the rooms. Right now I'm about to re-do the family room, and I'm choosing blues (or at least, I say I am!) though part of me would prefer green. It is my favorite color! I did a post on greens as well a few months ago because I was reading that it's "back" - though I can't say that I've found that to be true.... yet!
I especially love that Sherwin Williams color above, and I adore the child's bed in the green as well. Great post Melaine!

Such pretty shades, Melaine. I love the gray-green in the kitchen - calm and beautiful. Happy weekend!

I'm a fanatic when it comes to FM radio. I've tried various antennas in the past and have always ended up returning them because of the minimal improvment to my present reception. I live in a rural area where I have only been able to get 3 to 4 stations and not always very clear. When I received the Terk FM-50 Pro, I immediately hooked it up and was completely amazed at the number of stations I received crystal clear!!! I have now programmed 27 stations into my receiver and have a wide variety of music to listen to ALL THE TIME!!!! I know that the reception quality has a lot to do with your location and surroundings, but for me, this antenna is definitly a KEEPER!!!

Artist: Wrestling Lyrics
Album: World Wrestling Entertainment
We just saw Brock Lesnar break Zach Gowen€™s only good leg
Well I guess Zach should cut his losses and learn to walk on wooden pegs
It ain€™t no secret, everyone knew he was gonna get smoked like a joint
Forget his handicap, Zach sucks because he€™s from Detroit
The only time you people look good is at nighttime during a blackout
This ain€™t Joe Louis Arena, it€™s the World€™s Biggest Crackhouse
And please read between the lines, because I€™m giving you the middle finger
Detroit€™s got more white trash than Jerry Springer
The best part about this city is that I€™m leaving here tomorrow
You think I suck? Well I know you swallow!

Chapter 3.5Mature
"Wait, what?" I asked, glancing at him in the rear-view mirror. He raised an eyebrow, apparently my ignorance confused him.
"I'll explain later. Let's get Diane home first," Bryan said.
"Fine, I probably need to pack stuff to take with me to yours anyway," Diane said in complete defiance of Bryan's words. I couldn't help a smirk as Bryan tried hopelessly to convince her multiple times to go away with her family. We pulled up outside her house and she got out the car. She grabbed my arm and yanked me after her.
"Insurance so you stay put," she said to Bryan. Based on his expression that had been his exact plan. I followed her into the corridor and was greeted by chaos. The hallway was strewn with books, shoes and coats. It was actually tidier than our house had been when we had all been at school. I followed her through the tiny space to the living room. Much like the hallway there were things littering all free surfaces.
"Mum, did you get my text?"Diane asked, walking into the living room. We waited for an answer and she frowned, her eyebrows burrowing. I started to get a bad feeling. She walked through into the kitchen. "Mum?" she asked. She walked out of the kitchen after a few moments, looking very confused.
She headed back to the hallway and up the stairs. I followed, sniffing the air as I did. The house smelled of Diane and her family. She opened the biggest room that her little brothers shared but it was empty. The bad feeling in the pit my stomach was getting a lot worse. My phone rang, making me jump. My phone didn't recognise the number, which made me all the more nervous. Diane stared at me as I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I asked, my voice hoarse.
"Luca," Karen purred down the line, sending instant chills down my spine. "Francis wasn't sure Gregory delivered the message completely. So we kidnapped ourselves a few extras." No. I turned away, putting my back to Diane and spoke in harsh whispers.
"Are you insane? Let them go right now."
"I can't do that."
"If you don't you're breaking the treaty."
"And what a shame that would be. That alpha wannabe brother of yours has twenty-four hours to meet Francis. Come to the club and I'll take him to Francis. Only then do we let them go. I don't think I need to explain what will happen if your brother doesn't show up." The phone clicked and tone went on in my ears. I pulled the phone away from my face starring at the blank screen.
"What's going on?" Diane asked, her eyes wide. She must've heard enough of that conversation to know it wasn't good. I turned and knew there was no way to hide my expression from her.
"Francis is even worse than I realised," I whispered. She starred at me, her mind unable to comprehend what I was saying. "Diane, I'm so sor-"
"Stop it," she cut me off, lifting her eyes from the floor. Her jaw shook a little but the defiant light was back in her eyes. "We better get to your house so we can fix me this," she said. "We can call the police on the way." I let Bryan tell her not to bother. She wanted to know why, and me and Bryan's eyes locked in the rear-view mirror. There was no way to avoid it now.

Forks Over Knives is a documentary on the subject of diet and how it can affect our health. The film focuses on how a whole foods plant-based diet can prevent and possibly cure a lot of the diseases and health problems that occur with the US population right now. We all know that there are problems with obesity in this country and it has started to affect even the children.
The documentary is written, narrated, and directed by Lee Fulkerson who has quite a lot of experience in the documentary field. The film opens with him wanting to take better care of himself after gaining weight, not sleeping well, and developing a habit of downing cokes and Red Bulls. He meets with a couple of doctors, Drs. Matthew Lederman and Alona Pulde, who run a practice based on switching patients to a plant-based diet. Fulkerson as well as another patient are put on the plant-based diet and their progress is seen throughout the film.
Forks Over Knives does not just focus on individual cases, but goes through the history and studies around the plant-based diet. The main two proponents for this diet are Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. of Cornell and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. of the Cleveland Clinic, who both came to the same conclusion about the benefits of this diet, though on different paths of discovery. Dr. Campbell comes from a nutrition background and looked at a trend in cancers relating to diet in China. Dr. Esselstyn ran a long-term study for those with severe coronary artery disease and what happened when they switched to the plant-based diet. Both Campbell and Esselstyn are heavily featured in the film as their studies make up the basis for the showing what can happen to people who switch to this diet. Their studies are the most convincing evidence that you should stop eating meat and dairy right now.
I enjoy documentaries probably more than the average person. I like to get a different viewpoint on some issues, learn something new, or learn more about something I vaguely already know about. I did like Forks Over Knives, but the scientist in me could not ignore the lack of statistically significant evidence. We all are exposed to being presented with new scientific studies on the news, such as "studies found that egg consumption increased cholesterol levels." What we are given are correlations or trends, but that does not mean that one thing causes the other (causation). The studies that Dr. Campbell looked at in China were so broad and large in scope, that it would be hard to control all the other variables in people's lives to statistically prove that diet was the cause of cancer. The evidence for the correlation is amazing, but there is a nagging part of my brain wanting to see the study and how everything was measured. Granted, the documentary was made to appeal to everyone, not the scientific community, but the general public may be more apt to take everything that is seen as truth without investigating on their own.
There were some things that the film was missing. Forks Over Knives did not discuss what you could drink on this diet. Considering the Fulkerson had a bad habit of drinking caffeinated and sugary drinks, I thought this should have been addressed. They also did not really explain what "whole foods" was in the whole foods plant-based diet. It was not a reference to the supermarket chain, Whole Foods, even though people were seen shopping there. The film also did not focus very much on exercise, just mainly the diet, even though some of the people who were featured in the film did work out on a regular basis. The film does not include any dialog on organic vs non-organic foods. I was curious to know if you ate only organic meat and dairy if this would have any beneficial effect on health, but there was no mention. The film pushes an entirely plant-based diet.
The film ran entirely too long and should have ended about a half-hour before it did. When you find yourself bored and fidgety to get out of your seat, you know the credits need to come soon. I also found the production value to be a little low especially at the beginning. The sound quality was lacking in some of the interviews. There were also way too many shots of meat being grilled and eaten. We get it! We should not eat meat!
Forks Over Knives has a great idea at its heart and the intent of the film is good. I think that the film provides a worthwhile conversation on the state of our health and what our diet is like today. The uber-carnivore will not like this documentary, but if you are open to trying new things, you might come away with a new outlook on what you should be eating. Although I thought it was missing some elements and there were some issues with the length and production quality, the documentary turns out to be an okay film that will open some eyes to a new way of life.
I give Forks Over Knives 3 "My flag is still flying" out of 5.

With the credit crunch causing a commotion in the legal world, there's nothing quite like a holiday in the tabloids to brighten the mood.
With the credit crunch causing a commotion in the legal world, there's nothing quite like a holiday in the tabloids to brighten the mood.
And so it is that today's Lawyer News Daily is dedicated to Madonna's split with husband Guy Ritchie, after the Brit film director failed to justify the love of the material girl (see story).
Payne Hicks Beach's Fiona Shackleton, of Macca divorce fame, is to assemble a body of evidence for Madge; while Ritchie is represented by Helen Ward of Manches, who in May secured the UK's largest divorce settlement by landing GBP'48m for Beverly Charman in her split from tycoon husband John.
Before you start, in seriousness we realise that gloating over other people's marital break-ups isn't really on.
But the notion that Guy Ritchie may possibly become Guy Richer isn't just of interest to low-brow celeb watchers and divorce vultures. By contrast, the split of the couple's estimated GBP'300m fortune could turn legal history on its head, not only likely to set a new record for Britain's biggest ever divorce settlement, but making the recipient of that settlement a man.
Doubtless now a little bored of playing the country lady after several years of life in the country with mockney-geezer-turned-squire Ritchie, Madge may soon be departing these fair isles in favour of a return to American Life.
But in her wake, the queen of pop is set to leave a legal legacy that is a landmark not only in family law but in the increased clout of women's role in British society, if not the Western world's. That's The Power of Good-Bye.
India: caste off
16 October 2008
Transatlantic lawyers might consider themselves the world's elite, but it is partners at India's top firms that are the world's richest.
Further down the hierarchy, however, the reality is quite different. And the disparity between the Indian bar's rich and less rich is causing unrest. Albeit not always in the most predictable places.
As revealed on TheLawyer.com today, Allen & Overy's Indian referral firm, Trilegal, has lost three of its 10 partners, who are setting up an independent firm with a banking partner from Indian firm Kochhar & Co (see story).
Trilegal founding partner Anand Prasad described the trio as "great guys" that he "enjoyed working with" and would "love to still have around."
"But," he added, "I guess we were set up as a lockstep system and they probably just wanted to get to the top a lot faster."
They're not the only ones. By Indian standards, remuneration at Trilegal is positively egalitarian. And our story in August that Clifford Chance had hired two lawyers from Indian major Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co, a more traditionally-structured Indian firm, elicited a release of pent-up anger from readers (see story).
"Indian firms need to develop their people management skills and realise that they don't own people," wrote one. "All these firms are owned by families with three generations working and owning virtually all the equity, so maybe its time to change?"
Another described Indian firms as "run like personal fiefdoms" at which "the family gets the lion's share of the equity, special treatment; treat other partners and associates terribly and.. appoint family to run the firm."
All of which leads neatly to ye olde Indian liberalisation debate. India's richest partners warn international firms that poaching their lawyers will set back liberalisation. But as the lower echelons of India's legal caste system realise how bad a deal they get, critical mass for change will inevitably build.
As one site poster put it, "all these blackmail tactics 'you poach from us, we wont allow your firms in India' wont work after a point."
Or will they? Log on to join the debate.
CC's surprising redundancies
15 October 2008
Clifford Chance's announcement yesterday that it was making 20 lawyers redundant in New York and Washington DC is not the first time lawyers in the US have faced the chop this year (see story).
It's not even the first time that Clifford Chance lawyers have been made redundant; the firm laid off six structured finance lawyers back in November last year.
What has taken the New York market by surprise, however, is the fact that all 20 lawyers were litigators. Litigators being laid off in a downturn? Can this be true?
CC litigation head Mark Kirsch has been candid about the fact that none of these layoffs is for performance reasons – echoing Greg Markel of Cadwalader, who in The Lawyer Podcast in September argued that firms should be straightforward about layoffs in order not to damage lawyers' future employment chances. (Listen)
The Clifford Chance redundancies have the shadow of Merrill Lynch hanging over them. When Clifford Chance merged with Rogers & Wells in 2000, R&W was billing over GBP9m to Merrill alone, and virtually all of that was in securities litigation. With Merriill now subsumed into Bank of America, that workflow looks a lot more uncertain.
The news also underlines the point that litigation cannot compensate for a slump in M&A and private equity deals. Even when – as our survey this week showed – magic circle partners are now routinely billing GBP750 per hour (see story). Even those rates can't save jobs when the work isn't there.
Nott hanging around
14 October 2008
Our news that Nottingham Law School has split its LPC into two parts might not have blown your skirts up, but it's bigger than you might first think (see story).
Here's why.
First, the move allows wannabe lawyers to take a break between modules. That won't sound like a big deal to students who funded the GBP10k LPC with an interest-free loan from the Bank of Mum & Dad, but for those without a BMD account its a big deal, as it allows far wider access to the profession.
In fact, it's the same reason that the Bristol Institute of Legal Practice and Central Law Training launched a part-time LPC only last month (see story).
Second, both moves are signs that rather than waiting for the powers that be to finish their review of legal education and training, which has dragged on for almost a decade, some LPC providers have simply lost patience.
What's more, Nottingham is the postgraduate law school at the heart of that very same long-delayed shake-up of legal education and training.
It was picked to pilot a controversial model proposed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority that will enable paralegals to qualify as solicitors by taking responsibility of their own training and development while working in their current roles.
That even the SRA's own chosen postgrad law school can't be bothered to wait for it to finish the review is not a resounding vote of confidence.
Magic realism
13 October 2008
It's Monday the 13th; 736 UK 200 lawyers have lost their jobs and the credit crunch is turning into something else, so reasons to be cheerful are few on the ground.
Unless of course you're a partner at a magic circle firm where, as we reveal today, hourly rates are still heading skyward (see story).
As one partner observed, "the trend of rates going up… has slowed," but the key word there is 'slowed,' not stopped – let alone reversed.
This takes place in a context in which, as we also reveal today, City firms are scrambling to offload office space (see story), regional property firms are making their second wave of culls (see story) and more than a fifth of firms have had to lay off staff (see story).
Partners at smaller firms have long claimed that their firm offers magic circle services at more affordable rates.
And in-house lawyers have long complained that the bills conjured up by magic circle firms are unreasonable. With belts tighter than ever, is now the time for in-housers to put their money where their mouth is?

I looked at the Sony items and had a go at a shop selling them at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. I then had a go later on at the Apple I pad when it was shown in the Apple shop again at Bluewater (impressed). I decided to wait until the Kindle showed up... Now I research and research some more. Feedback from others is important to me. The number of failures on the Kindle did not look good. So back to the Apple I pad. Yesterday I put the hand in my pocket (well our pockets.. what is her's is mine and what is mine is mine:Blush.. I decided to go for the 64 gb version without the G3, as I do have a Dell note pad on the RV which I use a Vodaphone Dongle with if I need connection on the move if Wifi is not available. At home I use a fairly powerful Dell laptop (as heavy as a desktop and load with as much kit).. so the idea of speanding £599 on a pad was made with some careful thought. Forgetting the carry case on order from John Lewis for collection tomorrow it is not a cheap investment. So why did i not go for the cheaper E-Readers? well as I write this the I-pad is sitting beside me and I am listerning to Kris Kristofferson on the I-Pad - very good it is as well. I down loaded the 37 tracks for £9.99 form I tunes. Plus a Willi Nelson cd for £4.99. All the down loads are via wifi.. which works well. As for E books.. not cheap, but so far I have down loaded only free books, I expect that will change. The main thing is that the I-pad has a back light and makes reading very easy. The page turn is as good as the 600 series of the Sony I am pleased to say. Still learning all the things it can do... it has a great set of maps and I have now down loaded from the laptop by sync the photos I have stored... it is a first class photo block with all the fade and extra bits I have on my main photo frame in the house. So I impressed.. so little paper work in the box.. case of automatic connection to wifi and you can get the pdf files. Time will tell if this is the baby or not, I accept it is far more than an e-reader but considring what else you get over the top of the Sony it seems a good deal to me. Now to find some books and work out how to down load them from other places. Bob:thumb:

Introducing Premier VEBA, Virtual Business Solutions for the Modern World
Premier VEBA, Inc. is a refreshing new take on the virtual business experience. Founder and CEO Dana Schomp has assembled a business solutions dream team, covering every aspect of work needed for a successful business.
Today's businesses need a wide variety of specialized tools in their arsenal to succeed. A highly specialized and motivated staff is required for everything from marketing, to graphic design, to administrative support, to sales and everything in between. Premier VEBA aims to reduce costly employment overhead, and reduce the costs associated with conducting business at a high level.
With their recent inception, Premier VEBA has filled the gap between full-time staff and freelancer. Since each member of Premier VEBA's team has been intensely pre-screened, and hired by Premier VEBA for their strengths and proficiency, there is no need to sift through endless resumes and ads. As a business owner, you can trust that the staff member you're contracting is among the best in their field. A business relationship between Premier VEBA and your business is exactly that, a business-to-
Founder and CEO Dana Schomp brought Premier VEBA to life around the concept of helping others grow and thrive. After traversing the corporate landscape for many years, it was only natural that upon her exit, she would continue to apply her skills helping other people. For years, she worked on her own as a virtual associate and consultant, and built a large, satisfied customer base along the way. However, going it alone has its drawbacks, especially in a field as diverse as Virtual Assistance.
As the waiting list for her services grew longer, Dana began searching for a better, more efficient way to help her clientele. "I knew there had to be a better way to help my client's businesses soar, and going it alone wasn't the answer. One person can't be great at everything, especially with the wide variety of services that a business needs to operate." She found the solution to this problem lies in teamwork.
In late 2013, Dana decided that it had come time to explore the prospect of teamwork, and Premier VEBA, Inc. is the fruit of her labors. "I was fortunate to connect with the right people who helped me get here by sharing their expertise, their experience or just providing an influence on my life with who they were and how they conducted business. I wanted to provide others with the same opportunities I was given." says Schomp. It's this spirit that guides Premier VEBA's path of excellence in business.
This generous attitude and desire to share knowledge not only applies to businesses, but nonprofits as well. Everyone on the Premier VEBA team agrees to donate a portion of their time every year to needful nonprofit organizations and charities, helping them to grow and prosper. With this attitude of giving before receiving, the Premier VEBA team hopes to make a positive difference in this world, and continue to do so for years to come. "We're all on the same team here," says Schomp "and that's what makes Premier VEBA standout from the rest. Exemplary individuals from all walks of life, united under one banner, and working closely together with one goal in mind; helping others to thrive."
For more information about Premier VEBA, please visit www.premierVEBA.com, and explore the possibilities for your business. You'll find information regarding the wide variety of services offered by this fresh, new company, and contact information for a free consultation. The world is going digital, isn't it time your business did too?

Easy ways to break 10 bad habits
Everyone has those bad habits they'd like to break. Here's a ist of easy ways to break 10 common bad habits.
10. Fidgeting -- Everyone gets anxious, but fidgeting can be seen as a sign of weakness. To keep calm in tense situations, put your hands at your sides and imagine they're glued there, Ken Lindner, author of "Your Killer Emotions," told Woman's Day. Or, if you're sitting, rest your hands on top of your knees and consciously think about not moving them until you have to.PHOTO: iStock
9. Talking Loudly on Your Cellphone -- To remind yourself to pipe down in public, write a trigger word or phrase on your smartphone in a place you'd see all the time, Lidner told Woman's Day.PHOTO: iStock
8. Reading Over People's Shoulders -- Imagine how you'd react to someone looking over your shoulder. Now picture how embarrassed you'd be if that person called you out in a room full of people, Lidner says.PHOTO: iStock
7. Being Late --Try visualizing your arrival at an event five to 10 minutes early, or write down appointments 15 minutes before the scheduled time to ensure you're on time.PHOTO: iStock/WebSubstance
6. Noisy Eating -- Possible solutions include changing where you keep and how you move your tongue during meals, chewing more slowly, chewing smaller pieces or keeping your mouth closed while eating.PHOTO: iStock
5. Interrupting -- Focus on listening, Dr. Yael Varnado told Woman's Day. If someone pauses, breathe deeply, count to 10 in your head and reflect on what they said before you interject. Friends can also be good at reminding you when you lapse.PHOTO: iStock / -ilkeryuksel-
4. Sleeping in Your Makeup -- Keep makeup-remover wipes on your nightstand, so you can at least wipe off your face before you sleep. Or create a bedtime ritual of washing and moisturizing your face to soothing music, Varnado says.PHOTO: iStock
3. Gum Snapping -- Consider giving up gum altogether, or try deep breathing or relaxation exercises if chewing gum calms you, Dr. James Claiborn told Woman's Day. Pop a mint instead if you use it to freshen your breath.PHOTO: iStock
2. Knuckle Cracking -- Punch your other hand or fan out your fingers to keep yourself from cracking your knuckles, Claiborn says. Keep a record of your successes and lapses to banish the habit for good.PHOTO: iStock
1. Nail Biting -- Figure out what you do before you bite your nails. When you feel the urge, clench your fists for up to a couple minutes until the need to bite your nails disappears, Claiborn says. When you make progress, treat yourself to a well-deserved manicure.PHOTO: iStock / PeskyMonkey

On the evening of the same day we ventured out to look around the Berat National Ethnographic Museum which was an old fashioned house and filled with everyday objects from Berat's history. It also displayed the original tools used in making things such as Raki and olive oil. This was interesting and definitely worth doing as it offered some insight into how ...

The Idea of a Life
Imagine a place. A place where the main characters of unfinished, abandoned stories are doomed to spend eternity in a "literary limbo." Asher is the protagonist of such a story and is determined to find his happy ending yet. Doing so will require him to navigate a narrative unlike any other: that of the real world. Bound to find his author and obtain closure, he has but one clue, a name: Destiny Keys.
Once upon a time, there was a valiant young man named Asher. Asher was what one might call a knight in shining armor. Actually, that's precisely and most literally what he was. Riding his noble white steed across the plains of Gholaire, he sought the heart of a gorgeous princess he had never met. Her name was Arabella, and she had been locked away in a distant tower guarded by the most fearsome of dragons, though the particulars of how she'd gotten herself in such a dilemma were largely unknown. The man who would rescue her from her terrible fate would win the maiden's hand in marriage and become king of the Gholarian realm. Asher was intent on claiming such a title, albeit for the least selfish of reasons. There was nothing particularly original about his story, of course, but it was all he knew. That is until one day, when his story simply stopped.

Earth Calling Lara
I shook my head, trying to shake away my thoughts. So much had happened to me in the last few weeks that my head could hardly contain it all. I had discovered that my mother, Amelia Croft, had been dead for years, but had been preserved with poison from the Midgard Serpent. She had been a deranged zombie-like creature.
I was forced to shoot her.
My own mother.
I told myself that the poor skeletal woman that had stumbled towards me wasn't her, and the distorted, suffering creature I had shot had stolen her precious body. If this was not something of concerning enough gravity to deal with, the doppelganger had since returned after Alistair's death. I realised that the poor unfortunate beast of Natla's creation was not evil at all. In fact, it had been obedient to all of Natla's wishes. I demanded that it stop following orders. I think it did. I told it to make sure Natla suffered, and I yearned that these desires had been fulfilled. And on top of everything, Croft Manor had been consumed by fire. I don't know how but a large number of my father's books had been preserved. Little else had. I had lost most of my findings from all my various adventures, which saddened me still. The manor was in the process of restoration, but it would never again be the place I grew up, the memories have been destroyed in the tragic blaze. My thoughts were interrupted by Winston, my ever faithful man servant, who always assisted me in my times of need.
"Lady Croft, could I interest you in some coffee? You have been sat here for hours, and I think you are in need of refreshment."
"Yes Winston, thank you."
His footsteps died away, leaving me again in solitude. I felt as though I needed guidance. I hurriedly looked over my desk, and reached for a book, worn at the edges from hours of reading. My father's journal. I missed my father, he had always guided me, loved me. And I felt he was the only person I had ever met that had understood me completely. Winston always nodded politely at my schemes and ideas, but my father had been the only one to take real interest.
I began to flick through the old pages, when one line caught my eye. It was written with his findings on his first trip to Peru, when one of the men on the expedition had taken the bullet for my father from an enemy racing to the same artifact, The Gemstone of Hicona. In my father's familiar spidery writing, were the words:
'Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13
My father had never been a man of God, but I realised how true that saying was to everyone, whether they believed in God or not. It sparked something within me. I realised, that even if I had to battle yetis or defeat undead panthers, that Alistair Fletcher had better be ready.
Because I was returning to Avalon.
One last time.

If you liked the HTML5 prototype of "Back to Square One" I showed you last week, you will be happy to know I ported the code to Unity using C# and LeanTween .
What is LeanTween? Well, you should know Unity is awesome but it does not natively support tweens like Phaser does. Too good there are some interesting tween libraries in the asset store, most of them free, and after a quick overview I choosed LeanTween .
Apart from that, I tried to keep the code as similar to itsPhaser counterpart as possible, I am just using another sprite as pivot point to rotate the square as with Unity you can't change the registration point of a sprite at runtime. Actually, you can try some workaround but it's a hassle. Guaranteed. It's much easier to create a sprite as pivot point and attach the square to be rotated as child.
Have a look at what we are going to create:
Click on the stage to make the square roll and the terrain scroll. You will see two little red square. The one you see at the bottom right of the square is the pivot point, while the one you see as you start moving the square is the parent of all terrain tiles.
I am assuming you know how to create prefab, scripts and cameras in Unity, if you are in trouble check my Unity Flappy Bird prototype which explains all the basic concepts.
I placed all the code in one single class, so have a look at the code commented line by line:
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class MainScript : MonoBehaviour { // public variables. Values are set in the editor // the square object public GameObjectsquareObject; // the pivot object public GameObjectpivotObject; // tansition speed, in seconds public float transitionSpeed; // private variables. Values are set in the script // the hero!! private GameObjectsquareHero; // hero pivot point.

That's all at the moment, I plan to turn both this prototype and the Phaser prototype into two simple games, and at the moment you can download the complete project .
From null to full HTML5 cross platform game
I will take you by hand from the bare bones of JavaScript programming through the creation of a full cross platform HTML5 game, with detailed explainations and source code.
If you don't know where to start, then From null to full HTML5 cross platform game is the book for you.
