I wandered over to my hill and sat down. Then thought better of it. This wasn't the type of time I should be alone, I'm an emo, I was likely to slit my wrists or something - which I had done many times in this exact spot. Not on my birthday.
I stood up and slowly made my way down to Quentin's house, a small cottage in town. He answered the door immeadiately.
'Carly! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with you're family!' he scolded
'Oh Quentin! Don't tell me off. Anyway, I said I wanted to go see you and they agreed.' I replied.
He let me in and we went up to his bedroom; it was a small room overlooking the town centre, with a bed on one side, and a desk (always tidy) and his wardrobe.
I sat on the bed, instantly relaxed. I knew this place so well.
'So what's up?' Quentin always expected something was wrong if I came to see him, and if there was I would always tell him. In this case there was but I couldn't tell him! It was the most frustrating thing ever.
'No, not really. Just wanted to see you.' I had to lie.
'Oh,' was all he said. Then 'Ooh! Wait! I got you something!' he squealed. He ran over to his wardrobe and opened the second draw. From it, he took a small, silver box.
I opened the lid. Hanging from a silver chain was a black and silver moon. It was perfect, I loved the night and he knew it. We often hung out together on dtop of iola hill for hours at night, often up til Dawn broke. Then we'd sneak back home and crawl into bed to get some sleep before school only a few hours later.
I was still staring at it when he also poked a headband in my face. it was purple, knitted and had a bow on one side. I was speechless. These were the best two presents I had ever received.
'Well?' he demanded.
'I-I....' I couldn't seem to find the words. Instead I through my arms around him and he laughed.
We sat together and talked until his mu came and told us I had to go home hours later. I walked dully home. Mum was sitting at the table again, reading her book this time. She put her finger on her lips which I knew to mean that Andre was already asleep. I crept up stairs, followed by mum who kissed my forehead. I feltclose to her now that I knew we were linked by our magical powers. I felt for the first time in my life that mum was truly proud of me.

I sit here, watching cars go by.
They have the freedom to go anywhere.
If only I could be like that.
Instead, I am trapped here in this unforgiving world that expects too much.
They want me to be perfect.
It feels like they are cutting me with spoons.
The blunt edges bearing down into my skin with more pressure than needed.
No mercy at all.
Just like the words they speak.
Just like the words they preach but don't practice.
I want to be a car.
Go anywhere.
See places.
No one to stop me.

As a result of legislation from the two most recent General Assembly sessions, significant changes are coming that affect regulation of home inspectors in Virginia. Here's what you need to know as the Board for Asbestos, Lead, and Home Inspectors works to implement the changes:
After considering public comments received on the draft regulations, the Board adopted the proposed changes to the Home Inspector Regulations to transition from certification to licensing, along with the new training program requirements for pre-license education and the NRS training module. The amendments to the regulations will become effective in two stages:
The public comment period for the draft Home Inspector Regulations to transition the program from certification to licensure closed on January 15, 2017. The draft text is still available to view or download here, but the Board cannot accept any additional comments for consideration. A transcript of comments from the public hearing, as well as a summary of all public comments received, will be provided to the Board for its consideration prior to adoption of final Regulation language.
On November 15, 2016, the Board accepted the Implementation Committee's recommended two-part plan for transitioning the home inspector program from certification to licensure.
Amendments to the Board's regulations are necessary to accomplish the transition to mandatory licensure, as well as to establish criteria for the New Residential Structure (NRS) provisions. Additional regulatory changes of significance suggested by the Implementation Committee, and endorsed by the Board, include:
For Training Programs (NRS, NRS CPE, and Pre-Licensing), the draft text includes:
In order to provide reasonable opportunity for training program and education providers to apply for and obtain Board approval—while leaving sufficient time to accept students before the mandatory licensure and NRS implementation date of July 1, 2017—the regulatory action will be separated into two parts:
Today, a person performing home inspections in Virginia may choose to obtain certification from the Board as a home inspector, but it is not required. Current law does not prohibit an individual without a certificate from performing home inspections.
HB 2103, passed by the 2015 General Assembly, amended the law to restrict home inspections on new construction to Certified Home Inspectors who complete special building code training. The Board began the process of amending its regulations to establish training criteria for a New Residential Structure (NRS) specialty designation, to be used to identify a Certified Home Inspector who completes the necessary training module on the International Residential Code component of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
A person without the NRS designation will be prohibited by law from conducting home inspections of new residential structures. NOTE: Although this restriction was originally slated to become effective this summer, legislation from the 2016 Session pushed the date forward one year to July 1, 2017.
The 2016 General Assembly approved legislation (HB 741 and SB 453) to transition the voluntary certification program for home inspectors to a mandatory licensing requirement. As a result, the act of performing a home inspection in Virginia will require a license issued by the Board beginning July 1, 2017. The requirement for NRS specialty designation remains in effect for those performing home inspections on new residential structures, but with a delayed effective date of July 1, 2017, to align with the new licensing requirement.
To stay informed and take advantage of the opportunity to participate during the public comment period, sign up for notifications on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall. Registering will allow you to receive notices about regulatory changes as well as upcoming Board and Committee meetings.
If you still have questions not addressed here, please contact Board staff at:

please contact us in writing or via telephone and we will work with you to make the information available.

Raipur, Nov 20 (UNI) An estimated 70 per cent of the 8.8 million voters have exercised their franchise in the second and final phase of elections in Chhattisgarh in 51 assembly constituencies today.
Polling was by and large peaceful except for some isolated incidents of dispute between rival political parties, voters and security persons.
State Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Alok Shukla told UNI here that polling for the second phase passed off peacefully.
There are reports of voters still in the queues when the polling ended at 1700 hrs in several booths. These voters would be eligible to cast their votes.
Till 1500 hours, polling average in the second phase was around 55 per cent.
In the first phase of elections for 39 seats on November 14, about 70 per cent polling was recorded, while voting in naxalite-affected Bastar division was just over 50 per cent.
Sporadic incidents of violence was reported in the first phase in the Bastar division in which a CRPF havaldar and an Indian Air Force (IAF) engineer were killed and four security men were injured in Maoist firing.
The Election Commission, taking some stern action, has suspended a sector magistrate Ajay Mishra in Surajpur area of Premnagar assembly constituency in Sarguja district for dereliction of duty.
Similarly, 56 polling personnel were also suspended in Korba for poll-related irregularities. These polling personnel including some presiding officers did not turn up for poll duties.
According to reports received from Raigarh, voters of five polling booths in Bayasi under Dharamjaigarh constituency, were boycotting polls to protest non-development of the area.
Meanwhile, two presiding officers deployed in the election process in Raipur district died today due to heart attack.
Presiding officer Pyare Lal Dhruv, who was posted at Telibandh booth of Raipur North constituency, died of heart attack early this morning. Another presiding officer K K Jena, who was incharge of Gariabandh booth in Rajim Assembly segment, died of massive heart attack just before the polling started.

When my father died suddenly in January this year he left nine bottles labelled "horse blood" on a high windowsill, continuing to gather dust. Those bottles kept us guessing for longer than anything else. Longer than it took us eventually to find his will, and certainly longer than it took me to work out why there should be a cardboard box filled with human bones up in the loft. He had been a medical student, after all, and never threw anything away. Then, three and a half months later, my stepmother, Jos, died too.
Their home - my father's for 45 years, Jos's for 31 years - was a largish, rather ugly late-1920s detached house in Stanmore, in a street where the houses have names, not numbers. They called the house Waitemata, which, for the record, is the name of a New Zealand lager. Jos last went home in early March to collect a few things. As I backed the car out of the drive she had said, "Goodbye, Waitemata," horribly poignantly in retrospect, knowing better than I did that she would never see it again. Nor did she, so it was left to my sister Jamy and me to sort out her now empty and abandoned house.
This, I am told by friends who have also lived through the deaths of their parents (which, I kept telling myself, is unspeakable and unendurable and also inevitable, as well as being infinitely preferable to the alternative), is always a particularly hard thing to deal with in the throes of grief. Jamy and I, however, had a greater than average problem. The thing was, there were just too many things.
We started off quite well. Selling our father's ridiculous 1976 Reliant Kitten (the four-wheel version of the notorious Robin) proved relatively easy - Jamy quickly identified a buyer through the net. I thought the clocks would be more difficult, but that was easy too. For 30 years our father had collected early electric clocks. I had always thought it was a nice collection, but we also knew that, merely in terms of security, we had to get it out of the house. There were more than 130 clocks, many of them rare, some unique. Fortunately, he had often said that he wanted us to sell them after he died so others could enjoy the thrill and excitement of acquisition. Time forbade us from following this plan to the letter - slowly releasing them, a few at a time, on to an unsuspecting market over a period of decades - but at least handing the lot over to Christie's to auction was sort of what he would have wanted.
In addition to collecting and fixing clocks, he was, like most of his generation, an inveterate DIY fanatic. In consequence there were two large rooms set aside as his workshops and filled with tools (although the industrial lathe spilled over into the extended kitchen). Luckily, the man from Christie's knew someone who was setting up a horological workshop, who took away all the tools and clock books and paid us a reasonable wedge into the bargain.
And yet, even with the clocks and the tools gone, the "empty" house was still horribly full and hauntingly unchanged, even if now spookily silent without those familiar ticks and clonks. The same crockery in the cupboards, the same notelets written in either of my parents' handwriting still stuck up by the phone. The big things had been easy; it was the tiny things that induced a terrible inertia, so when I went there on my own I would find it more or less impossible to sort anything, and would ring Jamy so she could tell me to get out before the doom and gloom set in.
The loft alone was part Aladdin's cave, part Augean stable; I had often joked that, if my parents ever moved, they would have to empty the loft first or the house would fall over. It was filled with anything and everything you could think of: old luggage, photographic equipment, old toys, more tools, TV sets, jars filled with old screws and washers, old copies of Forum as well as old bones. The mate of the man from Christie's took most of these other tools, the Forums for (he said) his accountant, a centrifuge and several hundred packets of medical catgut (with a use-by date of February 1962). Later, a couple of blokes who run a 1950s and 60s memorabilia shop bought a job lot of the rolls of old wallpaper, the Venetian glass horses' heads (still unopened since purchased in 1974), some lino, all my father's ties (except two which I kept and now wear most of the time), some light fittings and a rather fine retro lilo pump.
My father would often say, when introducing another piece of junk into the house, that "it'll come in useful to someone one day". His other favourite homily was that "it's bound to be worth something to somebody one day", which explained the "collectables" they also collected, such as the Matchbox toy cars, all in their original packaging, although I subsequently discovered that these aren't yet worth anything at all. Indeed, a kind of oxymoronic universal law applies here: if you collect something because you are told it's collectable, because thousands of other people are doing the same, it's no longer collectable, and therefore only things which aren't "collectables" are truly collectable. Still, it explained the milk bottles.
I knew about these already. There were about 25 of them, with strangely beautiful logos of arcane design printed on the side. As an executor as well as a loving son, it was my duty to realise as much for them as possible, so I got on to the web and found the Milk Bottle News site. They asked for more details, so I spent a morning cataloguing the bottles ("Diagonal sans-serif farm logo, with scrolls; tableau of cows beneath a fingerpost reading, 'To Health Via Milk'; slight chip on rim"), and emailed them the result. They replied: "This is very interesting, and you have been very thorough. To be honest they are all a bit late for me, but someone should pay you about a pound a bottle." My first instinct was to leave the lot out on the doorstep. Instead, they are currently sitting in our spare room.
Slowly - agonisingly slowly - we were emptying the place, though it seemed more like a process of erosion than anything more systematic.
Another specialist antiques dealer bought some medical textbooks, an old slide drawer and a sinister looking culture in a petri dish we found at the back of a cupboard. A hospice charity took most of the furniture. Jamy and I took away files full of share certificates, old photographs, curious dingbats that took our fancy, some books, some letters. I even tried to take some cuttings from a mulberry tree my father had himself grown from a cutting from a long since dead tree in his old Cambridge college. Spring will show if I succeeded. By this stage, five months after Jos had died, we had sold the house to the next- door-neighbour, and we knew we had to clear the house completely.
In the intervening months I had spent several days alone in the house going through cupboards full of old photographs and, steeling myself, had binned thousands of snaps of people unknown to me and now certainly dead, or of lousy shots of my parents on holiday. A line had to be drawn. Without Osborne House at your disposal, very few of us have the option to memorialise our dead loved ones by fetishising all the material artifacts of their lives. As I kept reminding myself, it's our memories of the dead that should serve as their memorial, with maybe just a few talismans kept to one side, like the letters of sympathy my father received after my mother's death in 1969, or grey-brown photos of my father or Jos as children, to focus things and prick the tears into your eyes.
So almost everything went: the clocks, the photos, even the drafts of my father's many scientific papers. I offered them to his old college library, but they had no room. Neither did we, and as the published versions are in the public domain, I let them go.
Finally we got our cousin Paul, who is in waste management, to empty Waitemata. It took a day and a half, and they dumped two tonnes of stuff nobody else could conceivably want. The old umbrellas, coasters, beds, pyrex ware, hosepipes, fridges, rickety tables, shelves my father built, old paperbacks, corkscrews, fondu sets, RSPB bookmarks, 1950s French textbooks, manky cushions, souvenirs from Beijing, photograph albums, lacrosse sticks, roadmaps, knitting patterns, carrier bags, calendars, lengths of doweling, lead pipes, bell jars, and on and on and on. And it was heartbreaking.
After wandering from room to empty room in a house I had known all my life, it was looking at some stupid tray embossed with a vile floral pattern that made me almost burst into tears as it went into the bin bag.
But there was still the horse blood. I finally asked a zoologist friend why my father would have wanted nine bottles of horse blood, also mentioning that he had been a virologist (there's even a Rowson virus), and I was told that it was obvious. Horse blood, it transpires, is the best medium for growing viral cultures - so I created a little Hirstian installation in the room where I work, with the bottles flanked by the human bones. You never know, it might just be what they would have wanted.

in Bergama, worth visiting. Small lovely town. We spent few hours there. Museum was the place we happy visited.
It was raining and we entered in the last 15 minutes. They had plenty of beautiful figures. But I didn't like the inside lights too dark to see the details.
Located right on the mail street and only 5 Tl enterance fee yet I was the only one there.
Nicely set up with a small shop inside.
I would recommend a visit
After visiting all the important sites of Bergama , do not miss this small museum. Many finds from the area are displayed here. The museum consists of a courtyard and two rooms and the displays are well done. The one room has statues and various objects found around Bergama. Look out for the for the floor mosaic of the Medusa...
A beautiful ancient city, so much history and different to others we've visited. Also very few other tourists. Highly recommend going with a guide, e,g, Nazim Udun of Tours by Locals. He brought it to life.
It's mid September and the temperature is Falling overcast and perfect for a trip to the akropolis at Bergama.
The trip up by cable car is slow enough to see the sites and enjoy the view ,one way is enough as you can walk down and enjoy the different sites all the way to the bottom.There is so much to...
Seems like a small museum but the content is immense... Went in just to tick off my list but was pleasantly surprised. The kids (12-22 yrs old) were entertained as well so definitely go visit. When we were there, it was middle of the day, so the air-conditioned, cool and quiet buidling took us to another time.
Bergama is a region with a history of around 6 thousand years. But most findings start from 4th century BC which are displayed here. Bergama museum is inside the city. Any Bergama tour starts here and continues with Basilica which is also inside the city, Asklepion and Acropolis. The museum is a well preserved one and deserves attention. From Izmir...
its all stolen , nothing much to see , just some stones and walls . if you want to see pergamon , go to berlin ,the pergamon museum has it all. thats the reason its the most visited museum in germany.
ah and yes foreigners pay double triple of what turkish people have to pay , stupid.
This is another church mentioned in the book of revelation. One of the 7 churches. The site of the church is still preserved and can be visited for a small fee. Paul and other apostles spent time here.

Christian Prudhomme's comment
It'll be the final battle between the climbers at the heart of one of the most spectacular and surprising sports theaters there is to offer. A real inspiration for attackers with temperament. From Barcelonnette to the Col de Vars, spirits and legs will be on fire. The last ten kilomeres before the summit of the Izoard are at an average gradient of 9%. The "rendez-vous" of the Casse Déserte will add solemnity to the hardness of percents.

Let's Do This ThingMature
I explained to the ladies that the value of certain guns were in the thousands of dollars range, as well as certain Indian artifacts, certain books, things like that. This is where Jake and I would make our money, but since what we would take in would far outweigh the kind of money they would receive, a certain amount of our "take" would be set aside for anything the women might want or need that could only be purchased here in the future.
"We want to be totally fair about this," I explained, "Montana, I'm naturally assuming that anything you clear off gambling, cards and your "girls" is all yours, Melonie, all fees charged at the clinic are yours, as well as a certain percentage from the store. Once things get going, we can re-visit this and decide then how to divvy things up. So basically we'll start with three business's some tent cabins for us to live in and go from there...What say you all?"
Montana was all for it, Melonie liked the idea of the clinic, as well as a chance to learn medical skills. Jake liked it too'
"I think I might be able to save a few lives, as well as teaching someone the techniques of modern medicine, definitely count me in, but how are we going to get money to build this town?"
"Simple," I replied, "By offering to safeguard gold shipments, as well as other security type work."

Introducing New England Prosperity to New TV
"New England Prosperity" is coming to Newton's Cable station New TV.
Jim Lowenstern, the host of the new, local cable access television show: "New England Prosperity" has decided it is time that Newton had its own special show that is focused on everything that makes Newton and New England great!
In the course of the next month, Jim will begin producing a TV show on NEW TV – Newton's cable access station – and he hopes to also give back to others.
"I tend to be altruistic,"
Jim's goal is to create a TV news magazine with a local bent, with the ultimate goal of bringing to light anything that matters to the people that live in the multiple villages that make up Newton.
Are you helping raise money for new brass instruments for the middle school band? Are you opening a new business or revitalizing an old one? If so, Jim would like to hear from you.
"I want people to know about all of the amazing resources that Newton holds," Lowenstern said. "There are mothers at home making a difference with the part time businesses they run after the kids go to sleep, and there are the movers and shakers that make the town run every day."
Jim is also interested in hearing about what matters to his viewers – the people of Newton.
Are you concerned about the education your children are receiving? Is your neighbor struggling to pay the mortgage? Is there something gnawing at the back of your mind seeking an audience?
Communities are often better at solving problems together than apart.
Jim understands the power of a wonderful "home" and the broad images the word "home" can convey. His goal with this program is for everyone in Newton to feel like they can step out their front door on any given day and feel that there is understanding;
"In this day and age, supporting local businesses is of utmost importance to me," Lowenstern said." I want the opportunity to tell the stories that matter to the people of this city in this time. What worked ten years ago, isn't necessarily working today. How can we all join together to bring us closer to a solution to some of the problems we may be facing in town currently?"
An African proverb notes, "It takes a village to raise a child." Jim says: "These days it takes a village to help raise up all of those that live in the community. Let's all bring the stories of our amazing City Of Newton, MA to light and help others while we are at it."
Newton, Boston, and all of New England offers so much that Jim truly believes that the show will be a focal point for news, arts, real estate and the social network of philanthropy within the Newtonian community. For more information concerning "New England Prosperity" or to possibly be a guest on the show, feel free to write Jim at: email@example.com.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
The P9 is a decent mid-range phone with best-on-the-market fingerprint reader and potentially the best camera of any phone (including many compact cameras).
This phone has appeared in our Top Rated Android Phones in 2016 list and Which phones have the best cameras? list.
Selling a new phone by focusing on the camera is not a new thing and we've been impressed when it's happened in the past: Nokia's Lumias did some great things (which masked Windows Phone's deficiencies) while Apple's 6S Plus impressed with its Dynamic Range and low light performance. But it's the P9 that has stopped people in their tracks. You don't have to be a photography connoisseur to recognise that what the P9 achieves (almost effortlessly) is a new level of quality.
So we'll whizz through the specs and handling and quickly move on to see what the fuss is about.
The key specs
5.2-inch, 1080x1920, 423ppi screen, Dual (colour and monochrome) 12-megapixel rear cameras with Leica optics, 8-megapixel front camera, Kirin 955 chipset, dual quad-core processors plus GPU, 32/3GB RAM, nanoSIM, microSD card (up to 256GB), Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). USB Type-C, Fingerprint reader, Fixed 3,000mAh battery, 145x71x7mm. 144g. Full specs, here.
Handling and general usage
At 5.2-inches this is a relatively small phone which will be a boon to some but a shame to others. The quad-core processors keep it zipping along smoothly although if you take multiple pictures quickly it can lag a little – but it's no deal breaker. The metal chassis and rounded corners make it look very good and Android effectively functions as we'd expect with version 6.0 aka Marshmallow. Camera, screen and battery aside, it's basically a smaller version of the excellent Mate 8 that we reviewed recently. The battery-difference is significant though. The small chassis means that the 3,000mAh unit just about lasts a full day – if you're not making use of the camera. If you are then you're best off carrying an external battery pack around with you.
[Related: Google Pixel XL full, in-depth smartphone review: The new best Android phone]
As for making calls, we were told that we sounded a bit tinny by some people on the other end. A dual-SIM variant is available but not in Australia – the second slot by the nanoSIM is used as a microSD reader instead.
One of the best features, however, is the fingerprint reader. This is now the fastest on the market and even more accurate and secure with the addition of pressure detection too – it knows about the shape of your finger rather than just the print. Its position at the rear (as with other Huawei models) is inspired and unlocking securely is essentially effortless.
The screen is the best we've seen from Huawei. It's Full HD and colours look very vibrant, accurate and bright: noticeably more so than the functional Mate 8. It would be nice to have had more of it with so many photos to play with but that's a personal opinion.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Beating Tradition- Variations on what I'm stuck with?
Because of tradition, my first born son's middle name has to be Robert, but it doesn't fit well with the types of first names I like. for example:
Slade Robert
Ryder Robert
Aleksandr/Alexander Robert
Adam Robert
Carson or Carter Robert
Landon Robert
Cole Robert
So, I am in desperate need of ways to... go around.. tradition, and I'm thinking different versions of Robert or maybe names that mean the same thing? What are variations or substitutes for Robert that would go with the above names? I am also open to suggestions of first names that go with the middle name Robert.

My brother's name is Adam Robert. It never struck me as a terrible combination or anything. In fact, most of your combos seem...fine? As far as flow goes, at least. Ryder Robert is the only one that sounds a little 'off' to me. I'm a little confused at your panic, actually. I sort of get the impression that you're not really that worried about the flow - you just don't like the name Robert and are upset that you "have to" use it. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I just don't see a problem here at all.)
Maybe you could give us some more details about this tradition that's apparently forcing you into using Robert as a middle name, and why exactly you feel you can't just not go along with it (yet why you also feel that deviating from "Robert" by using an alternative but related-ish name would somehow be acceptable). It would help us (well, or me, at least) give better suggestions.on my mind, for the moment

My Own HellMature
After yesterday's debacle featuring one broken gun and no deaths (disappointing, really, but...), I was eager to have another root around. You know, just in case anyone else was left. The more people saved, the better. More firepower. More cushioning in case things take a turn for the worse.
I elected to take Duncan, Roy and Murray with me, and left Jack - who was still fuming from yesterday - Julie and David. I wanted to make sure I hadn't taken two useless cowards on board. We armed ourself and went for a leisurely stroll around the school. No problems.
Except, of course, there was. As we headed for a set of stairs to search above, we got ambushed. A wave of zombies were waiting for us at the base of the stairs, wandering aimlessly. Now was the chance to see if Roy and Murray were ready. I sent them ahead and fell back as they charged headlong into the horde. They minced the zombies there with ease, and signalled us up to them. I was pleased. They were indeed ready.
As I exited the stairs at the top, I was met with a friendly face. Fraser, a good friend of mine, was staggering around, aimlessly crashing into walls like a headless chicken. He saw us and ran to us. Panting, he patted my shoulder and said "Hey". He didn't look in the best shape. I needed to know how he was:
"Fraser, you alright? You seem to be a bit... flustered. Tell me."
"Oh nothing. Just got into a tangle with a teacher. He bit me. Black biff..."
Not a good thing. Nonetheless, he was still alive, so I decided to keep him around. He seemed alright on the outside, albeit a bit whitened.
We got ambushed again as we entered one of the art rooms. I sensed an oppertunity for some fun here. As my team held ground, I fired up the kiln and signalled my squad to lead the zombies in there with something. They searched desperately and found a torch with a flash function. I stuck that to the top of the kiln, and rallied my squad to get the hell out before we got burned. Once outside and safe, I witnessed the hell happening inside. Skin was literally melting from bones as the undead got toasted by the white-hot kiln. Scottish teens - 1. Undead - 0.
Fraser was getting worse with every passing minute. He shuffled mindlessly into pillars, walked into others and even began getting whiter. I was walking back to the stairs we had entered when disaster struck. Fraser punched me in the back of the head, bringing me to the floor. As I clutched my head in agony, he began advancing on me, mouth open, moaning. I desperately searched for my M1911, but t0 no avail. He was almost on top of me when, out of nowhere, I heard a gunshot and Undead Fraser's head shattered. He slumped to the floor and I turned to see Murray holding the smoking gun. He smiled. Slowly, I got back up and collected myself. I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. This is effectively what Hell would bring to me. Harrowing images of the like started swirling in my mind. Duncan shook me and asked:
"Are you having ANOTHER daydream? Wake the fuck up Alex, this is a zombie invasion, not English class."
With that, I left Fraser and went back to the shelter to try and remove that horrid image from my mind's eye. I just would not budge. It hade became my own little piece of Hell.

Chris Hemsworth Gossip
Chris Hemsworth gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Avengers: Age of AWESOME
IGGI/ Splash
Following a Twitter stunt in which fans had to tweet the hashtag #AvengersAssemble in order to "unlock" a new trailer—I imagine people at Marvel, drunk on their own power, screeching, "Dance monkeys, dance!" and cackling maniacally—yesterday Marvel released the final trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it's all our dreams come true. Full Story
Chris X 3: We got a Marvel Bingo!

Lainey asked me to watch the Critics' Choice Awards last night and I agreed, but before it started I went out to try and dig my car out of the accumulated ice and snow under which it was buried. I slipped on some ice and the snow shovel took a chunk out of my leg and after duct-taping it closed I took a bunch of codeine and sat down (read: collapsed) to watch the CCAs. Full Story
Thor vs. A Fish is now an Oscar hopeful
AKM-GSI/ Splash
On the day that the 2015 Oscar nominees are announced, let's start talking about (potential) 2016 Oscar nominees. Last night Ron Howard announced that his whaling disaster movie, In the Heart of the Sea, is moving from its March 13 release date to December 11, 2015. That's a VERY confident move from distributor Warner Brothers, especially since Star Wars Episode VII opens the following week, which is going to cut into their potential profits—movies do most their damage in the first two weeks of theatrical release—so WB must feel good about their chances for a big opening weekend. Full Story

And many of you return the favor, but both Lainey and I are on the record with this guy—we don't get it. He seems nice enough, but to me the most interesting thing about Chris Hemsworth is that he's friends with Matt Damon Full Story
The Sexiest Man Alive promotes Blackhat
Chris Hemsworth was in New York this morning on promotional duty for the upcoming Blackhat, opening this weekend. It's about cybercrime. That's a selling feature, considering what's happened in Hollywood recently. Another selling feature: he's the current Sexiest Man Alive. Full Story
Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman has a salary problem
One of the more interesting tidbits to emerge from the Sony Hack was that Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams didn't get paid the same as their male co-stars on American Hustle, confirming that Hollywood has a wage gap. Now, in the wake of that revelation, Page Six says that Charlize Theron is "taking a stand" and demanding that she be paid equally to Chris Hemsworth on their upcoming Snow White prequel, The Huntsman. Full Story
The best thing about Chris Hemsworth: Matt Damon
When Chris Hemsworth was named People's Sexiest Man Alive, we were all like, wait what? What's he even promoting? Avengers: Age of Ultron isn't until May 2015, and that Ron Howard whale movie Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The Washington Post predicted yesterday that PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive would be Neil Patrick Harris. Read Full Intro
Chris Hemsworth: the Sexiest Man Alive 2014
Not really my type (my Hemsworth is Liam) but empirically, with all that fluffy hair and those thigh muscles, it's a MiniVan Majority-friendly choice. It was not, however, the most obvious choice. He wasn't even on my list of contenders. After a few people sent in suggestions to handicap Hemsworth's chances though, I addressed it on November 10 Full Story
Thor vs a big fish
The trailer for Ron Howard's In The Heart Of The Sea was released earlier today. Convenient! Because I was wondering how I would use these new Chris Hemsworth photos – he was papped at LAX yesterday and he's the star of the film. It's based on a true story, the incident that inspired Moby Dick, of a group of men out in the water on their boat and they're attacked by the Godzilla of whales. Full Story
Chris Hemsworth's post-Marvel moves
Hollywood is suddenly obsessed with Hank Williams. It probably has a lot to do with the prolonged fight over the Hank Senior song catalog ending in 2011, or that the Hank Williams Estate, thus resolved, signed a huge licensing deal just last year. At any rate, first there was Tom Hiddleston Full Story

Ode (and farewell) to Downtown SLO
By Deborah Cash, CMSM, Executive Director
"I'm Downtown Deborah and here for my job," I said to the team at the table
"I know the people, the place, the issues, the ropes and I'm ready, willing and able."
From 50 seekers I stood out, I guess, because of sheer desire
to make Downtown SLO a better place and set the bar a bit higher
Rough going at first in '95; funds were scarce and merchants down in the dumps
Businesses had closed, streets were torn up and the economy had hit some bumps (sound familiar?)
No use worrying, I decided, and rolled up my sleeves
I devised a game plan; this was long before "Ask Jeeves"
The Marsh Street Makeover was high on the list
From the freeway to Santa Rosa, what a summer-long mess!
Then turning dirt for the Day Center on Prado Road
So People's Kitchen in the Plaza could lighten their load
There was the Marsh Street structure expansion, the community it did divide
Dozens of meetings, viewpoints, theatrics ensued; in the end, needed spaces it did provide
The earthquake in late 2003, rattled and shook more than our nerves
Time to reassess the retrofit rules—that threw some folks a huge, expensive curve
A bright spot in the picture was being named a top downtown
The Great American Main Street Award was ours; they loved us, hands down
People took notice, perhaps surprised, and interest grew
And businesses stepped up the game for visitors and customers—old and new
As time went by, Downtown evolved from a drab, closed-on-Sundays town
To the community's living room, a tourist mecca and a scene of nightlife renowned
All of which today are part of programs we offer
To have it all: beauty, safety, success and funds in the coffer
Some know us simply as "the place with Thursday Night,"
Others love our events in the Plaza and our trees with light
Some thank us for upholding the organization's goals
To provide stability and success, no matter how the economy rolls
Concerts in the Plaza, the Holiday Parade
Downtown Foresters (the City arborist we do aid)
Porta Potties on big crazy-party nights
Downtown Security to break up the fights
Beautification Awards, Special Promotions and fun abound
To honor our members, attract visitors and keep Downtown going 'round
Whether for veterans, moms, physical fitness or the area's finest
We provide recognition and honor the best and the brightest
As well, we work on matters of tremendous importance
To address issues like transiency and late night comportence
We are an urban area at the end of the day
We can't eliminate warts but we can hold them at bay
All this is done by working as a team
With partners, friends, members and a shared vision, a dream
Of a Downtown where businesses are solid and strong
And visitors and guests make their stays long
Where our history is kept alive through our stories and places
And people feel comfortable and welcome in all of our spaces
Where we continue to be emulated, of whose charm people speak
And they continue to ask, "How'd you get that creek?"
So, the time has come for me to depart
Though I embrace a life change, there's a tug on my heart
This wasn't just "my job" that I once showed up to claim
But a part of my life, often one and the same
Thank you for the opportunity to dream my dream
And serve members and the community, it's gone by fast it seems
And now we're on to a brand new day
"Around Downtown," for the last time I'll say.

MTV Goes Broadband
Aug 29 2006
As young people increasingly tune out television and tune into online video and chat, MTV Networks is hoping to win their attention with a new broadband service that appears to be part MTV, part YouTube, and part MySpace.
The service, built around a Web site called Flux, will be launched in Japan later this year and is likely to follow in other countries, said William Roedy, vice chairman of MTV Networks and president of MTV Networks International, at a news conference in Tokyo.

Epic Wedding Trailer! Save The Date Cards Are So Yesterday!
Apparently the cool new thing to do is a Wedding Trailer instead of a 'Save The Date' card. While it can't be cheap to produce these epic trailers, it is very cool! This one is very popular because of the Jay Z/Beyonce themed trailer, and it's very freaking awesome!

For event registration and additional information, please visit: http://www.accelrys.com/info/initiatives/nanobio/initiative_meetings/sept2006.html
"The Accelrys NanoBiology Initiative was expressly designed to engage the world's foremost scientists across academia, government and industry to identify the immediate needs in effective next-generation nanomaterials design for medical applications and to develop the modeling, simulation and data management solutions that address those needs," said Mark Emkjer, CEO and President of Accelrys. "An invaluable addition to the Initiative, the University of Trieste, is the first of many member organizations that will guide the development of - and ultimately be among the earliest to benefit from - Accelrys' resulting portfolio of nanobiology solutions."
"The rapid convergence of nanotechnology and biotechnology has generated a need for design tools that can incorporate sufficiently detailed models of the nanoscale molecular phenomena with the larger-scale interaction and performance integral to their inclusion in biomedical devices," said Sabrina Pricl, Professor in the University of Trieste's Department of Chemical, Environmental and Raw Materials Engineering. "Currently, there is no unique software available that performs that multi-scale task, a critical need that I look forward to help solving through our participation in the Accelrys NanoBiology Initiative."
The NanoBiology Initiative's first meeting will explore how multi-scale modeling will enable the design of material properties and other factors critical to biomedical research and development. Attendees will gain the opportunity to collaborate with their peers in guiding the Initiative, learn directly from Accelrys' team of technical experts, try Accelrys' newly developed software for nanotechnology and nanobiology firsthand, and hear about the latest in nanomaterials computational design from biomedical luminaries including:
