Chapter 10Mature
No one could move. We stood stock still, watching the jet black dragon roaring, blowing fire at the trees, and watching them fall. The first few times the trees crashed to the ground, we flinched, but soon, we became immune to the shock. Hagrid still stood with his arm gesturing towards the huge dragon, with a brilliant gleam stretched across his red face. Hagrid's smile slowly diminished when no one said anything.
"Well come on. Someone says somethin'" We slowly moved our gaze between Hagrid and the colossal monster fifty feet in front of us.
"Ha…Hag..." Hermione stuttered.
"Hagrid. What on earth…" Ron finished her sentence.
"What are you doing with Norbert… I thought Charlie…" Harry said, not taking his eyes of Norbert.
"Charlie, as you very well know Ron, is travelling, so…."
"Charlie gave him back to you?" Ron said, interrupting him.
"No. He wouldn't. One of his friends was looking after him, then he couldn't look after him… So I offered. And he was more than happy to give him back to me"
"Hagrid… You can't.. I mean… It's too dangerous to… Hagrid" I said, not able to complete my sentences.
"Don't worry, any of you. He's perfectly safe. I promise."
"HAGRID. HE ISNT EVEN CHAINED UP" Hermione bellowed.
"Do you fink I would let him out of this forest Hermione"
"Well. It looks that way!"
"Don't worry Hermione. Charlie's friend put an, oh what's the word he used 'impenetrable force fields' around a small area - but only for the dragon. Humans can still come in and out"
"No Hermione. Pupils do not come this far into the forest. Well not this far in. Don't worry about it" Hagrid cut her off.
No one had anything to say. We just stood there, the dragon had lied down, and was now snoring.
"Come on Harry. Aren't you happy at all" Harry slowly looked away from the snoring black rock that was Norbert towards Hagrid's face.
"Hagrid. Surly you can understand that we are in a little shock"
"Of course"
"Yeah. Just waiting for my heat to restart" Ron whispered in Harry's ear.
"What about you Hermione?"
"Well. Apart from this violating about a hundred school rules… It's nice to see you happy Hagrid"
"WHAT?" Harry shot a glare in Hermione's direction.
"Come on Harry. Someone with less empathy than a toad stall can see that Hagrid is ecstatic with Norbert being back
"Ugh." Harry muttered, but he relaxed his posture a little.
"Thanks Hermione. What do you think Ginny?" Hagrid surprised me by asking my opinion.
"Uhh. I think… Like Hermione said, its good. But come on. How is that" I pointed at Norbert "going to stay inconspicuous?"
"Quite simple, really. We are VERY far from Hogwarts. No one will notice him"
"Until the forest goes up in smoke from his fire" Ron said sarcastically.
"Your not going to tell anyone about him are you?" Hagrid asked, worried now.
"Of course not Hagrid" Hermione said earnestly.
"Ugh" Harry grumbled, clutching my hand tighter.
"Where did all the bad mood come from Harry" Ron said, reluctantly looking at our entwined hands.
"Just. Does Dumbledore know Hagrid?"
"Umm.. Not exactly"
"Well, You guys had a start. Do you think Dumbledore wont. He might have a heart attack"
"Hagrid. He needs to know" Hermione piped up.
"I will tell him… eventually"
"HAGRID" We moaned in unison.
"Could you help me"
"HAGRID" We repeated.
"Sure" Hermione said. We all looked at Hermione in disbelief. Of all the people surrounding me, I thought Hermione was the one person who would not be caught in Dumbledore's office, asking him to excuse an illegal dragon, hidden in the school grounds.
"Norbert? He's back." Dumbledore just about chocked out.
"Yes" Hagrid said simply.
"But… How? When?"
"Three days ago… He was... Delivered"
"Hagrid. I cannot condone this. In the school forest" I stared at him, sitting behind his desk, still in his ruby red pajamas, with his half moon spectacles pushed down to the end of his nose.
"Oh. Right. I'm sorry. I will return him. Boy, Reggie isn't going to be happy with me."
"Charlie's friend, he gave Norbert to me"
"Charlie? Why isn't he looking after Norbert?" Dumbledore said, looking between Ron and me. Ron shrugged, looking at the floor.
"He is traveling, so Reggie is looking after him. And, he said he couldn't look after him, so I offered… And… Here he is" Hagrid gestured out the window opposite us that looked out the forest.
"He couldn't look after Norbert?"
"No Sir" Hagrid said. Harry shifted his weight uncomfortably, and I didn't understand why. I followed his gaze out the window, and a huge flame flew up out of the forest, then disappeared as soon as it had come.
"Oh. Well. Who will Norbert go to, and be safe with?"
"I haven't thought about that Professor Dumbledore"
"Well. Until you find the perfect place for Norbert to stay, I think he could stay in the forest. On one condition."
"Yes Dumbledore, yes"
"That you allow myself to cast some spells around the forest, and a few on Norbert, to keep him, and the students safe"
"Of course"
"Okay. I will do that tomorrow, well later today actually."
"Thank you Dumbledore. Thank you" Hagrid said, bounding out the door. Dumbledore looked at us expectantly. Hermione yawned quietly, Dumbledore looked at her before saying.
"Well. I think we all need a good sleep now. Hagrid isn't good at timing"
"You got that right" Ron said, before turning to leave. Hermione followed him, and Harry next, pulling me along behind him.
"Night Dumbledore" Harry called over his shoulder. Dumbledore nodded in answer. Then turned his attention to me, proberly not realizing I was still looking at him from the corner of my eye. A look of anger, mixed with frustration flashed across his face as he looked at me back as I left his office. I was confused. Why was Dumbledore glaring at me for? What did I do wrong? Was he actually glaring at me? Or Harry?
"Tired?" Harry whispered in my ear, pulling me from my train of thought.
"Just a tad" I said, yawning.
"Sorry. It's been quite eventful hasn't it"
"That's an understatement"
"A dragon, of all of Hagrid's crazy animals…. A dragon" Harry said in disbelief.
"What. You think a dragon is worse than a brutal three headed dog?"
Harry chuckled. "It's a draw" I laughed with him as we walked, Harry supporting half my weight. My eyes were drooping, I was almost falling asleep. I felt something cold slip off my neck and fall onto the floor in front of me. "What's that?" Harry asked, as I bent down to pick my necklace off the floor.
"Oh. I found it in my house. I thought it was pretty, and it was lying next to a chain, so I put it together, and… I wanted to keep it."
"I like it" Harry said. I fumbled with the clasp, as I put it round my neck again. Harry pushed my hands carefully away, pushed my hair aside, and did up the chain, before adjusting it so the gem hung around the front. "Beautiful" He said, before smiling widely at me.
"Ginny. Where did you go last night?" Mary said over the huge rack of toast in between us, over the table.
"Huh" Was my only response. I still felt a little dazed from last night, about all the things that had changed so suddenly. I mean, there is now a dragon as a school pet.
"Where did you go? I saw you leave the dorm with Hermione, and I was going to follow, but I was too tired, then I heard a whack, and someone shout out" I suddenly remembered the punch I threw at Ron – could it only have been last night. The surge of anger that ran through me, that didn't end until I realized the pain I had caused my brother. I shivered.
"Ginny? Where did you go?"
"Umm… I went…. To the common room with Hermione" I said. My voice cracking. I never could lie convincingly.
"Is that all?"
"Yeah. I think"
"Who yelled then?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said harshly.
"Okay. Calm down Ginny."
"Ugh. I'm going to the Common Room"
"Your coming to Hogsmead later though? Right?"
"Sure. Whatever" I swung my legs out from under the table, and walked away from the table, and the faces of my friends, Mary looking shocked, like someone had just slapped her round the face.
"What's her problem?" Mary muttered when she thought I was out of ear shot.
"Yeah. I know. What do you think happened to her in the holidays. She never had such a temper before" Hannah responded.
"Yep. Something must have happened." Mary agreed.
I turned to look at them, I felt hurt, and a little betrayed. Also a weird wave of embarrassment washed over me. I was rude. I do have a short temper. Maybe, it's that Harry is confusing me. He hasn't even asked me out, and we almost kissed… What was going on in his head. Will he ask me out. I'll have to see. Maybe in Hogsmead. I need to meet up with him before we go, so I can stay with him… Will Ron have forgiven me completely by then? He has to get over it eventually…
I stalked up the grand staircase, headed for the common room.
"Come on" I heard someone say behind me. I whipped around, shocked by the voice. No one stood there, not close enough that the I would have heard. The nearest people were down three floors, on lower staircases - a bunch of first year Gryffindors laughing and running down the flights of stairs. I swung back around and continued walking up. Only four more stair cases till I reach the fat lady.
"You know what you need to do" The same glorious voice sounded from behind me again. I looked behind me. Was I going insane? No one was there. Hearing voices in my head… I must be crazy. I started up the stairs again.
"Give in. Give in" I found myself sprinting up the stairs, taking them two at a time. I got to the fat lady, screamed the password t her, this startled her, and she swung open. I ran in, and pressed my back to the wall next to one of the huge tapestries that hung from the ceiling, waiting for the voice to start again. Nothing. No voices. No sounds except the faint crackling of the flames in the fire place. I breathed in deeply, realizing I was not alone. A pair of bright green eyes was staring at me, shocked. I relaxed my tense muscles a little as the I recognized the eyes, behind the perfect circular glasses, just below the lightning shaped scar.
"Ginny?" Harry asked warily.
"Yes" I said. He got up cautiously, and approached me with exaggerated slowness. He carefully put his arms around my neck, and held me close.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I muttered too quickly. I didn't convince him. He pushed me back softly, staring into my eyes. I tried not to meet his gaze, but it was next to impossible.
"Ginny? What's happened" He was suddenly worried. I racked my brain for any situation where I might react like this.
"Malfoy" I said suddenly.
"Malfoy. What did he do?"
"He tried to hurt me" I said. Surprised how real it sounded, he might even believe me.
"Is he out there now?"
"No. It was, earlier. I just ran away" Lying was becoming easier and easier.
"Don't worry. He wont hurt you again. Or I will set Ron on him." He chuckled. I joined in.
"Looking forward to Hogsmead" He said, tugging me towards the sofa where he was sitting, with his 'Charms through the ages' book.
"Yeah. Can I go with you?"
"Of course you can" He said. Leaning forward towards me. I closed my eyes slowly.
"Ugh" George said, entering the room. Harry abruptly leant back, both of us blushing scarlet. George started laughing, Fred following close behind him.
"Alright there Harry?" George said smiling.
"Don't be rude George. Give them some privacy" Hermione said, I hadn't noticed her enter. I blushed again.
"Where's Ron, Hermione?"
"No idea." Hermione said, shrugging, she went to sit in an arm chair next to the blazing fire reading a humongous book on her lap.
"When are we leaving for Hogsmead?" Fred asked George.
"In an hour. Filch is checking everyone though, to make sure we aren't taking anything 'bad' to Hogsmead?" George said, using his fingers as air quotes around 'bad'. Fred and George chuckled darkly simultaneously. Hermione shook here head at this. They ignored her, and sat down as well.
"You didn't happen to see Malfoy out there did you?" Harry asked everyone.
"Nope" Hermione said.
"Yeah. But he was being a prat, so we threw a rock at him"
"Where did you get a rock?" Hermione asked.
"We were outside at the time. He was being the cocky prat he is. And we got irritated. We made do with what we had, threw a rock at him. It was surprisingly entertaining." George said.
"Good." Harry said, smirking. "He gets what he deserves I guess"
"Damn right" Fred said smiling too.
"I'll get him again for you" Harry whispered in my ear, I could hear he was smiling, and I couldn't help smiling to. We all sat, talking, laughing and gossiping about Malfoy, and planning revenge against him. I didn't notice the time passing, until Ron ran through the door, telling us that people were leaving to go to Hogsmead. We followed him down the staircase in a hurry, I was almost sprinting. Not wanting to miss the trip, but also terrified that the voice would come back. I got out the huge front door, with no interruption in my head from that smooth luxurious voice. Filch was standing there, with an evil glare spread across his face. He searched us, with McGonagall by his side, casting spells to make sure we had no dark objects on us. Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Harry and I passed through them quickly, and traveled into Hogsmead, with huge grins on our faces, laughing the whole way there.

"I tell people all the time that Brian Dobson is my angel …if it had not been for Brian Dobson, I would have never become eight-time Mr. Olympia". - 8 Time Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman
"As I have traveled around the world and spoken to audiences in 37 different countries I always tell them that everything I have and the work ethic and dedication I have, I owe to bodybuilding. Well, if it wasn't for Brian Dobson instilling those things in me and his never ending encouragement, the world would not have ever heard about me." - Two time winner of the Arnold Classic Championships, Branch Warren

Multiple Projects have come together under the heading of the SiriusDisclosure.com website.
Our aims are undeniably lofty.
We are interested in the development of a peaceful relationship with Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) which has been visiting planet Earth for decades if not centuries.
Part of the reason the ETI presence has been kept secret is that one of the first questions would be, "How are they getting here?" They are not using fossil fuels. It is through zero point or quantum vacuum energy generation systems. And it is those energy systems we want to develop and bring out to the general public so that we may have a world of pollution free , sustainable abundance.
If you want to know more about the human – ET relationship, please visit the CE-5 Initiative page and browse Dr. Greer's papers.
If you want to know more about new energy, go to www.theorionproject.org
Dr. Steven M. Greer
Steven M. Greer, MD is Founder of The Disclosure Project, The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI), The Orion Project and Sirius Technology Advanced Research, LLC.
Father of the Disclosure movement, he presided over the groundbreaking National Press Club Disclosure Event in May, 2001. Over 20 military, government, intelligence and corporate witnesses presented compelling testimony regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life forms visiting the planet, and the reverse engineering of the energy and propulsion systems of these craft. Over one billion people heard of the press conference through the original webcast and on subsequent media coverage on BBC, CNN, CNN Worldwide, Voice of America, Pravda, Chinese media, and media outlets throughout Latin America. The webcast had 250,000 people waiting online – the largest webcast in the history of the National Press Club at that time.

Foreign Workers: Washington seems to be in a rush to make changes to immigration law. Meanwhile, the skilled employees we need from abroad are being shut out. Getting them into the country should be a priority.
The federal government is accepting applications this week for H-1B visas, which allow high-skill, professional labor to enter the U.S. and contribute immediately to the economy.
The trouble is, there aren't enough of these visas available from the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, and this year they're likely going to be gone within a matter of days. That will require a lottery to determine who among the applicants will get the visas.
Five years ago, more than 65,000 applications for the three-year, employer-sponsored H-1B work visas were received on the first day they were accepted, with 150,000 petitions landing before the end of the business day. This year's rush has been the biggest since then.
Only 65,000 H-1B visas are issued each year. At one time — from 2001 to 2003 — the cap was 195,000. But it fell to 65,000 in 2004 after the temporary increase passed in 2000 had expired. And while the cap has fallen, the fee has been increased from $320 to $2,000.
H-1B visas are particularly important to tech companies that need employees skilled in math, science, engineering and technology.
Workers with these visas are crucial to business expansion, which brings with it more hiring. These talented foreign workers' contributions to the economy help keep America ahead of the global competition.
A bipartisan group in Congress wants to extend the cap to 115,000 a year with an escalator that could mean as many as 300,000 H-1B visas a year.
But not all are on board. Foes say foreign workers drive down wages and take jobs away from Americans.
These arguments, though perhaps well meaning, are nonsense.
If Americans were available to fill the job openings, the companies would hire them at market wages.
Why would they subject themselves to government restrictions and bureaucratic inertia when they could meet their hiring needs otherwise?
What Congress needs to do is lift those restrictions and move the bureaucracy as far out of the way as possible.

She took my case and never responded to my messages or e-mails for months. She complained about all her work. She was to busy or sick and missed worked all the time. She made multiple errors on legal documents that were filed with the court to the point that when called her attention to she became very angry and claimed I was very picky and bitchy. Told me to suck up and take what I could get. She was very unprofessional. She could not practice law in a practice on her own nor has she been able to make it in other practices with other well established attorneys. She even withdrew as my attorney without telling me until 3 days after she had filed the notice with the court system. She gave me wrong legal advice about what I could and could not do in my situation. I would not recommend her for a lawyer much less as an employee for someone. I am so passionate about this review because this involved my children and this has lead to a long lengthy and still fighting battle of conflict that all stemed from Ms. McDonald's advice. My child still is paying for her careless mistakes with a worthless parent making her miserable and we are still battling this vistation/child support issue. Lesson learned the hard way but learned! Thank you Ms. McDonald for a job well done!

Parents often ask me if I think parenting contracts are a good idea. I have posted about cell phone use contracts with teens before, but recently read a fascinating study on the importance of getting people to write their goals, ideas and promises down. In this study, participants had to estimate the wait time of lines. Group 1 had to make a guess on a blank piece of paper. All they had to do was write down the number. Group 2 wrote their number on a magic pad and then covered it so no one could see. Group 3 wrote their guess down, signed the paper and turned it in. Group 2 (with the least commitment to others) had the most wrong and often wanted to change their answers later. Group 1 and 3 were more committed to their original estimate regardless of what others said and got it right more often.
This study is a great indicator of human behavior. When we write things down we are more likely to stick to our goal AND be more correct. This can absolutely be used in our daily lives. When promising goals to ourselves, our spouses or kids, we always want to commit it to paper.
Here are Some Ideas for Parent-Kid Contracts:
-Driving Contract- driving with friends, hours at home, driving siblings.
–Cell Phone Contract– Hours, who to call, minutes, texts, games, calling during family time
-Drinking and Smoking Contract- substances, partying,
-Dating Contract- Age limits, dating times, locations,
-List of Family Traditions, morals and values
-Chores Contract- A fridge board is always good for this.
-Electronics Contract- when to use TV, videogames, computer, hours etc.
-Family Time Contract- no cell phones, amount of time together, activities.
-School Contracts- Academics, Homework time, studying, grades,
-Curfew Contracts- after dances, parties, sleep-overs, what happens at friend's houses
-Money Contracts: Allowance, summer jobs, spending money.
Tips to Set Contracts Up with Your Family:
1) Explain to your kids why you are setting up the agreement: You do not want to have to nag anyone about rules and consequences and this is a way to just write it all out. Also feel free to share the study, they might find it interesting!
2) Make sure you can live with the consequences in the agreement you make (can you really stand having to entertain them if they cannot watch tv /talk on the phone/ or play videogames for a month?)
3) Have a clause for 'updating' and how often you can make changes to the contract.
4) Have everyone sign it and put it up somewhere…it makes it feel more official.
This is part of our Science of Family series. If you would like to read more articles on the scientific research and studies behind relationships, families and teens, please visit our Science of Families page for tips and updated research.

SB 1108 (Constitutional Carry) just passed House Third Read 36-19-5.
on to the Governors desk it goes..... :congrats:
Dupe thread.... sorry :(
Great news for AZ :danceban:...now the signature!
If she goes into effect, I'd like to see her bleed a bit to the east.:image035:
It is expected that the Governor will sign it, as they made a couple of small tweaks to the bill that she requested be made.
Congrats AZ, now if we could get the rest of the States to join the club.:danceban:
What are the detail of this? What does this allow?
I have a CCW permit so it doesn't really matter, but would this allow a non-resident to carry legally?
We spend a week or so a year in AZ, but we're not AZ residents. I'd like for my wife to be able to carry while in AZ. She does not have a CCW (yet!).
I hope this spreads to other states like wildfire. :congrats:
But, if you have a permit from ANY other state, you're good to go in AZ to CC. AZ recognizes every other state permit, even a non-resident permit, as you probably already know since I highly doubt you have a CC permit from IL.
LOVE AZ. :danceban:
For we Arizona residents that support SB 1108, it's important that you write to Governor Jan Brewer to let her know you support her signature. Make sure to state why you support it. It's easy, only takes a few minutes. Just go to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and click on "Contact the Governor". Be professional (no drama); short and sweet, and pithy in your comment. If you are a native, bonus points!
Politicians LISTEN to their constituents more than you think. It's their measure of success; they can point to the communications received as to why they support legislation. If you've never contacted an elected official before, MAKE THIS the first time (as did I) and it will leave you feeling good! (PS: The opposition listens too; it may not change their vote but it may moderate their tenor).

Never Watch the Needle
Aiaysa looked apprehensively at the needles that Siloux was preparing; she had never been comfortable with them. A minuscule drop of the immuno-enhancement balanced on the head of the needle as Siloux pushed any air bubbles out of the syringe.
"Not afraid of needles, are you?" he asked as he angled the needle toward her arm. She simply laughed, not wanting to lie but also unwilling to admit her fear. Her eyes followed the needle as it approached her arm, knowing that it would only make the sting worse but unable to draw her eyes away.
Just as the needle pressed against her skin, a voice sounded through out the cabin, "Landing in two minutes."
Aiaysa's thoughts immediately returned to their mission and the discoveries ahead of them. Her previous feelings of excitement and anxiety returned with a renewed strength; she was going to be a part of the first group to ever set foot on another inhabitable planet.
"All done," Siloux said as he returned his equipment to his case and discarded the used syringe.
"With both of them? Already?" Aiaysa asked, sure that she hadn't even felt the first pierce her skin.

A terrible dreamMature
A terrible dream
We adjusted somewhat,
Mom and myself,
Yet we both knew,
Nothing would be the same.
Mom told me,
I need not worry,
About my material comfort,
I felt guilty,
Yet what could I do?
This wasn't my fault.
A few nights later,
Another nightmare I had,
It was midnight,
And the postman arrived,
To deliver the mail.
The postman witnessed,
An argument between,
My mom and me,
My mom yelled,
At the bewildered postman,
That she knew,
It was my stepmother,
That I really wanted.
I lost control,
And shoved her violently,
She fell down the stairs,
And I heard,
A sickening crack,
As her neck broke.
I awakened,
Trembling and terrified,
Yet fully determined,
To hand myself in,
Then my mom called,
And I realised with relief,
That it was just a dream.

Coach and Player Comments from
U-M Men's Basketball Press Conference
Previewing Big Ten Tournament (March 11-14)
Michigan Head Coach Tommy Amaker
On the team's growth during the season ... "I think when you are young, and we've all discussed that ... I don't want to, obviously, touch that. I think you are always looking for opportunities to grow and to develop. I think as we've seen our team throughout this season, I think we've seen that in different pockets, especially we have seen it our frontline players. I think with Courtney (Sims) and Brent (Petway) in particular, you've seen how much they have grown through the course of the year. As we continue to move forward and enter the conference tournament, I am hoping you've seen Daniel Horton's play, maybe one the better games he has been able to play for us thus far in the conference. Again, he is just a sophomore, but you are hoping you can still point to moments and situations where we can learn from, we can grow and as individual players as they continually do that. I think that is really going to help our team. I think as we've seen Daniel play well at Northwestern, we look like a different ball club. I think the confidence of our team is raised to a different level when he was playing at a high level. So, if we can feed off of that, build on that we have a chance to continue to grow."
On playing in a tournament atmosphere ... "I think with kids now, they have been in a lot of tournaments throughout high school and summers and certainly obviously in the collegiate ranks. They recognize what it is. It's one and done as the terminology goes now. Survive and advance is another phrase we hear a lot. Our kids our excited about it. This is the time of year that you dream about. This is the time of year you work all summer, preseason and fall and to a certain extent through the course of the year, the winter months, to really get to this point of your basketball season. I think we're excited. I don't think we'll be feeling pressure ... at least I hope we won't. I think we will be excited to play. I think our kids will approach it in that manner and try to control the things that we can control. That is what I am more concerned with our ballclub. As long as we can keep bringing the effort and we need to execute better and stay unselfish. I'll be very pleased."
On the improved play of Daniel Horton ... "Obviously, the Northwestern game was hopefully a start of good things to come. I'm hoping that he has not been pressing in previous games. I would like to think that he wasn't. Sometimes you cannot play as well, but you do not have to press about it. I don't think he has done that. I think one of the things we saw was that he was not in foul trouble. It allowed him to stay aggressive throughout the course of the early part of the game. He found a nice rhythm and flow and it really helped our team, and got out on the break, scored some easy buckets. He got some easy buckets early. Any time you are a player that is used to putting the ball in he basket and you can get a couple of layups. It does wonders for your confidence, your game and your scoring. If we can keep him on the floor, keep him out of foul trouble and allow some things to develop, I like the way Daniel can potentially play for us. I think we have seen outstanding play by Daniel and certainly our game Saturday was another performance."
On Big Ten Tournament title being wide-open ... "I think it is. And to be very honest, friends and difference people around the country, everyone's talking the same talk about the league tournaments, their conference tournament. I think most of them feel it is wide open. You probably have one team that is going to be the favorite, but I just think looking at our tournament specifically and our conference. I think all of our coaches feel that everyone is going to have a shot. I think the key is going to be what team, certainly, gain that momentum quickly within the tournament. Can you get off to a good start in the tournament And maybe start something that kids start to believe and start playing completely to win and not to lose. That is what tournament atmosphere is all about. It's what March Madness is about. That is what we are going to see this upcoming weekend."
On people saying that only three teams from the Big Ten will make the NCAA Tournament ... "Quite honestly, no one on the committee has made that statement that I know of. So, I really listen or pay attention to all, no offense to folks in here, some of the things you have said ... I don't pay attention to all of that. I don't waste time trying to figure out what person has said this and what commentator has talked. I am not sure they are the ones that are going to have the most information or input on what's actually going to happen. I think our conference is extremely tough. I think every coach, I'm sure every person in their own league feels, league play is hard. I don't care what league you are in. I think league play, especially when you look at the history of this conference, it is been one of the better conferences in the history of college basketball. We're very proud of that."
On the Big Ten not getting any respect nationally ... "I mean I have heard some of the things that have been talked about, but I don't follow it. I don't get into dialog or debate about it and try to convince people. We are who we are. I think we are pretty darn good and the history of this conference has been great and I think whatever teams are going to make the NCAA Tournament field, in my opinion, are probably going to do well because that is what history has shown."
On whether U-M will have a chance at the NCAA's with a couple more wins ... "Yes, I do. I feel like when you look at our league right now, I think we have a number of teams, other than the top three, which would be Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan State, I think they are going to get consideration for the NCAA Tournament. I really believe that. However this starts to shake out this weekend, we will start to get a clearer picture of that.
On the talk of the Big Ten only getting three bids to the NCAA Tournament ... "I would be hard pressed for a conference like the Big Ten, although it's happened before when a conference of our stature has only gotten maybe three teams in. I think when you look around at our league and I think when it shakes out, and what teams are going to do this weekend I think we are going to see more than three possibly get bids."
On assessing a team's effort based on conference tournament play ... "I hope that is not the only way that people are going to pass out grades. I think that's unfair. I think everything has to be taken into account, the year, the schedule, I mean all the things that get thrown into the mix. Certainly the conference tournament play will be one of those factors, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Sometimes because it is the last thing that you see, I think sometimes people may assume it weighs more or less. I think I would imagine it weighs more because it is the last thing most of us are going to get a chance to witness. I don't know if that's always the correct formula. To look at the last thing and to make a determination based on that."
On whether making the NCAA Tournament defines a team's success ... "I don't necessarily define our team and program by other people's definition of success. We will be able to find our own success and our own standards. Obviously being in the NCAA Tournament would be a monumental step for our program, but that's not the only way you define, for us, success."
On Iowa ... "Obviously, they are a team that has shot the three-point shot against us very well. We have not done a good job of defending three's this year in our league. This is a ballclub that is probably feel very confident. They have had a tremendous amount of success in the Big Ten Tournament. I think they will be very confident. And I think you look at (Jeff) Horner. To me he has always been, in my opinion, the key to their team. We had a chance to witness it here when he didn't play as well and we were able to win and do some good things. And we went to Iowa City, he played his heart out and I thought he was the difference in their team. He always concerns me. He's tough, he's relentless and I think he is a heart-and-soul kind of guy. So, this is a ballclub that has been able to do wonders with limited personnel and some distractions with their program and team. I think Steve (Alford) has the team playing very well coming off a big win at Purdue. It will be a very competitive, spirited game and I think that both teams are anxious to play."
On Daniel Horton not being selected to an All-Big Ten team ... "I think it is obvious. Daniel didn't have a year, in my opinion, on the level of the other players who were deserving of that honor. I think that is the nature of it. There is no mystery about it. I thought the players who were voted in for the teams, you have to feel like that was very accurate and deserving of those players. I think Daniel will be the first person to say that those players had better years. That is going to happen sometimes and hopefully we can have a better year in the future. I am sure Daniel will work hard to improve his game. But we have other things, knowing he is not concerned with individual honors, other players aren't either. We're certainly focused on our tournament and Iowa."
On the role Bernard Robinson Jr. will play this weekend ... "You need veterans. You need experience, and certainly Bernard has an abundance of that with our team. The most I should say. It is going to be critical for him to display that. Lead the way when it comes to that for our team in this tournament. He certainly stepped up with that shot (at Northwestern). That big three that he made for us. Just a huge shot for our team. I thought that basket and Courtney (Sims) tip-in could, even Lester's (Abram) layup were three big baskets for our ballclub. But I do think, obviously, Bernard's leadership and his being a veteran ballplayer is going to have to pay dividends for us to be successful this weekend."
On the importance of making the NCAA Tournament ... "For our players, this is what kids play for. When you start the year, your dream is, one of the things that happened to us, we were afford the opportunity to be postseason eligible. And the postseason that everyone dreams about is March Madness. That is what you work for and I think that would be a huge statement for our players if we were able to participate. You also look at opportunities, again we are postseason eligible at the beginning year, I think there is a good chance that we can make that a reality for this program this year and be wonderful and terrific for all the reasons we all know that some how we were involved in the field of 65."
On whether freshmen are worn down at this point of the season ... "I don't know that. I think for young players, I don't think you ever really know with freshman players going into this time of the year. It's been a long season for them already. We have all seen some of the moments where you can point to being a freshman at this point in the year, or they have hit the wall or they are up-and-down, tired and worn out. All those things have been accurate for our freshman. So, I don't know how to answer that questions, but I do think the feeling in our lockerroom with our team and our program is of excitement, of anticipation and I think we will be, very much, that type of team come Friday afternoon. And I know our freshman, for us to advance in the tournament, our freshman are going to have to play some significant roles as they have all year."
Senior Bernard Robinson Jr.
On if he feels pressure heading into his final games ... "It is like when you have a certain time to do something, like when you have 30 seconds. Then when 25 seconds come, everything gets a little faster in your head and it is harder to think. That is how I have been playing. I can feel that we are getting down to the last few games. I think that is just normal nature to play like that. When you feel the end coming, you have more urgency than most other players do and most other people do. That is with anything in life."
On if he is doing anything different to help ensure success ... "I think the main thing is to stay focused and make sure your focus is on the court. It is just the same things that have been going on, but you have to stay focused. That is the main idea. My main emphasis right now is for me to be focused."
Sophomore Lester Abram
On if the team is playing itself in a way ... "Yes. Everybody has to come to play and everybody has to step up. It cannot just be one or two guys and then one of the guys who is supposed to step up just vanishes. I think everybody has to play well in this tournament for us to be successful."
Sophomore Daniel Horton
On being injured for last year's Big Ten Tournament ... "I don't look at it as I really got a chance to experience playing in a big game like that. I played, but I wasn't 100 percent. My focus now is to get prepared to play at a high level on Friday."
On if he expects to repeat his performances of the last two games ... "I think you can go out and try too hard. Especially in big games, like Friday, if you try too hard you end up not being as successful as you hope. I am just going to go out there and play like I have done the last two games. Last game (at Northwestern), I think I was more assertive going to the basket and just being more aggressive on offense. I am just going to go out there and play. If I have to go out there and do that again, then that is what I am going to do. At the same time, if those guys get it going early, it is my job to get them the basketball."
Freshman Dion Harris
On if there is pressure on the team to do well at the Big Ten Tournament ... "I don't think it is pressure. I think we know what we want to do. Now we just have to take it one game at a time and try do that."
On if he has hit a wall this season ... "I think I was on my way to hitting a wall. As far as the Northwestern game, I think I played well and I want to just take it from there. I think that helped snap me out of hitting the wall and I just want to build on that performance."
Freshman Courtney Sims
On his expectation for his first Big Ten Tournament ... "Everybody is going to try and grind it out and work hard. I expect somebody who it not supposed to win it to win it. Everybody wants to go to the NCAA Tournament and everybody is saying the Big Ten Conference is kind of down. I think everybody is going to be trying to fight to get that bid to the tournament."

Mothering Sunday 1998
"Mels! What are you doing here?" Amy let her best girl friend inside.
"They said I could come over for a little while. I've got one hour."
Upstairs, the girl started to set up for another game of the ragedy doctor.
"Wait," Melody pulled her friend aside. "I've got something for you." She reached into her bag and pulled out a custom made Amy doll.
"Thanks, Mels. It's much better than the one I've got."
Mothering Sunday 2007
Melody came over for another visit with Amy like she did so often. It didn't take long for her to drag her friend away to have a walk by the pond.
"By the way, Amy," Melody pulled something out of her back pocket and handed the wrapped object over to her best mate. "I got you this."
Amy looked at her friend a moment before ripping the wrapping away. It was a replica of the sonic screwdriver she had told her about.
"Oh, Mels, it looks just like the one he had! Thank you so much!" Amy attacked her friend with a bone crushing hug.
"No problem." Melody casually put her hands in her pockets and began to walk again. "It was fun making it."
"Mels, why do you always get me something on mothering Sunday?" Amy sounded a bit suspicious.
"Every year, on this day, you always get me a little present."
"Oh? I didn't notice."
Hey guys. I know it's short, but I hope you liked. Also, I live in the U.S. so I wasn't sure if Mothers day in the UK was actually called Mothering day or not, so don't judge me if I got it wrong.

I just contracted to buy all the gasoline I want at 14 cents a gallon. No, I have not struck oil in my backyard, or come into an inheritance from a long lost Kuwaiti relative. That is the de facto price that PG&E is billing me for a full charge on my all-electric Nissan Leaf.
That works out to $1.20 to recharge a vehicle that will transport me 80 miles, at the price of five cents a kilowatt hour. This is a tiny fraction of the 40 cents/hour I pay to run the rest of my appliances, and a pittance compared to the 50 cent/hour peak rate I pay to run the air conditioner in the summer.
PG&E has exactly one engineer to talk to its 10 million customers about this ground breaking new technology, and after much effort, I managed to get him on the phone. I asked who was paying the subsidy? Were those profligate spendthrifts in Washington involved? He answered that there was no subsidy, that power sold at night was cheap because there was no other market.
So I inquired as to who was paying for all of the equipment upgrades, like the new transformers and power lines that were needed? Do I sense the heavy hand of Sacramento? He replied that there was no capital cost because the same infrastructure that delivered power to me during the day would be used to power my car at night. Only a couple of bucks would be spent on the installation of a new 'time of use smart meter'.
The car cars with a $7,500 clean energy tax credit. I know we're supposed to be cutting the deficit by eliminating handouts like this. But you'll only take my subsidies away by prying my cold dead hands away off of them. Take someone else's subsidies, not mine! It is the American thing to do these days.
He did mention that one unanticipated problem had arisen. My ears perked up. Many wealthy Tesla Roadster owners in Los Altos Hills were impressing so many girlfriends with rides that they were requiring multiple daytime recharges, even though they promised to recharge only at night. Not only did this send their electricity bills through the roof, it was causing problems with the grid as well. I guess it's all part of the teething process, a cost of making the great leap forward to the next generation. Who knew that Match.com would be involved?
I never thought I'd get something for nothing, but it looks like this time I will. That is, as long as the car works, and my kids don't run the battery down playing rap music all night.

That February, a principal at the school Ms. Ryan taught at called police after seeing her husband in the parking lot trying to retrieve a car the couple owned. No charges followed from this incident, but it did lead the wife to later complain that the Mounties were protecting her husband because he was a Canadian Forces soldier.
Yet "none of the available information supports a determination that the RCMP afforded special treatment to Mr. Ryan as a result of his standing as a member of the military," reads the watchdog agency report.
In digging through records, the watchdog agency found no criminal history for the husband. But Mr. McPhail writes the wife, Ms. Ryan, had faced allegations of a crime in the past -- she was once accused "of attempting to run her sister over with her car," the report says.
The watchdog agency's report says that investigators pressed Ms. Ryan following her court appearances on why she had never told police that her husband physically assaulted her or threatened her with guns. While she made these allegations in court, she had not made them to police directly.
"I don't have proof, and I know you need proof. Without proof, they can't do anything," she replied, according to the watchdog agency's report. "So what is the point of even saying anything?"
After Ms. Ryan was arrested for hiring a hit man, she argued in an interview with investigators that she should have gotten counselling instead of being targeted by a police sting operation.
"If they found out that I was conspiring to commit murder, why didn't anybody come down and say 'Nicole you've got to sit down. … Ma'am maybe you should see a psychologist?'" she said, according to the report. "… SO they knew there was something psychologically wrong with me…"
Given the circumstances, Mr. McPhail writes in his report, Ms. Ryan's expectations of police were "in almost every respect, unrealistic."
"None of the RCMP records supports a conclusion that information was either apparent on its face or conveyed to the RCMP such that members could determine that Ms. Doucet was being abused by her husband," he writes. "Each RCMP member interviewed is adamant that he or she repeatedly asked Ms. Doucet probing questions and attempted to determine the basis of her fears to no avail."Report Typo/Error

Monmouth Hawks (13-15, 8-11 MAAC) – 63
Manhattan Jaspers (8-20, 4-15 MAAC) - 50
RIVERDALE, NY – On a night where freshman Kayla Shaw broke the single-season program record for three-pointers made in a season, the Monmouth University basketball team dominated Manhattan and never trailed in a 63-50 win. With 51 seconds remaining in the first half, Shaw buried her historic 81st triple of the season, and led the Hawks by the end of the night with 18 points on 5-8 shooting beyond the arc. Monmouth improves to 13-15 (8-11) on the season, and will host Niagara on Senior Day this Sunday in the last game of the regular season. With a Canisius loss at Quinnipiac tomorrow and a Monmouth win on Sunday, the Hawks will secure the seven seed in the MAAC Championships, set to begin on Thursday, March 2.
"It was a great team win tonight. We just played them so we felt like we were able to get this one on the road. I thought our team played very well on the defensive end today and kept our heads. Not everything went well, but we kept a positive attitude and had a great energy about us, which helped us come out with the win." - Monmouth head coach Jenny Palmateer
-Shaw drained her 80th three-pointer of the season to start the game, tying the single-season program record and giving Monmouth the 3-0 lead.
-The Hawks held Manhattan to 2-17 (12%) shooting in the first quarter, helping them double up the Jaspers 14-7 after the first frame.
-Monmouth led by as many as 13 with 5:11 left in the second quarter, and went into halftime with an 11-point lead at 30-19.
-With 51 seconds remaining in the first half, Shaw buried her second three-pointer of the game to give her 81 on the season, breaking the single-season program record that has been held by Beth DiRenzo since 1990-91 (80).
-The Hawks kept pushing in the third quarter, building an 18-point lead with 6:29 left in the quarter from a Jarnot free throw. A Middleton layup shortly thereafter gave the Hawks a 20-point lead at 40-20. By the end of the third quarter, MU led by 19 at 53-34.
-Although Manhattan outscored the Hawks 16-10 in the fourth quarter, Monmouth pulled out the 13-point win to improve its record to 13-15 on the season.
-Not only did Shaw break the program record for three-pointers made in a single-season, but the freshman also moved into 12th in program history for threes made in a career and now has 84.
-Monmouth continues to build upon its program record for three-pointers made in a season by a team. Hitting nine more triples on Friday, the Hawks have 250 on the season.
-Alaina Jarnot grabbed a career-high five rebounds in the win, also adding eight points and four assists.
-In the first meeting between the teams this season eight days ago, Monmouth faced the highest shooting percentage from an opponent this season, as the Jaspers went 30-51 (58.8%) from the field and 8-15 (53.3%) from long range. Tonight, Manhattan shot just 17-60 (28.3%) from the field and 5-24 (20.8%) from long range.
-Christina Mitchell grabbed 10 rebounds on the night, and registered her seventh game this season with double-digit rebounds.
-Alexa Middleton scored in double-figures for the fourth time this season and barely missed her third double-double, ending the night with 10 points and eight rebounds.
The Hawks will return home for the final regular season game of 2016-17, as they host MAAC opponent Niagara on Sunday for Senior Day. Tip from the OceanFirst Bank Center is scheduled for 2:00 PM, and the contest will be broadcast on ESPN3.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Codeine consumer side effects
- Mild/less serious codeine side effects
- Codeine side effects for professionals
- Codeine nervous system side effects
- Codeine gastrointestinal side effects
- Other codeine side effects
Codeine Side Effects
Codeine refers to a group of narcotic pain medicines. Codeine is usually used to treat mild to moderately pain. Codeine can also be used for other purposes that are not listed in medical guides. It is important to note that not all codeine side effects are reported. You must therefore consult with your doctor in case you experience a new side effect.
Codeine consumer side effects
These side effects apply to codeine oral tablets. You must seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following signs of codeine allergic reaction; difficulty breathing, hives, face swelling, lips swelling, tongue swelling or throat swelling. You must stop using codeine immediately if you experience any of the following serious side effects namely; fast heart pounding, uneven heartbeats, light-headedness, fainting, high blood pressure, blurred vision, severe headache, buzzing in the ears, anxiety, chest pain, confusion, shortness of breath, seizure, uneven heartbeats, restlessness, tremor, hallucinations, motor tics and any other unusual behavior.
Mild/less serious codeine side effects
Some of the mild codeine side effects include; dizziness or headaches, insomnia (sleep problems), dry mouth, unpleasant taste in the mouth, constipation, diarrhea, loss of weight, loss of appetite, impotence, lack of interest in sex and difficulty having an orgasm. It is important to note that there are many other mild codeine side effects that may not be mentioned above. You should therefore stay alert for any other side effect/s. You must also report any new side effects/allergic reactions to your doctor for advice.
Codeine side effects for professionals
These side effects apply for codeine oral tablets and oral tablet extended release.
Codeine Cardiovascular side effects
Some of the serious common codeine cardiovascular side effects include; tachycardia, palpitations and elevated/high blood pressure. Other serious codeine side effects that have been reported rarely include; sudden death, stroke, cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction. According to numerous controlled studies, codeine use among young adults i.e. patients below the age of 45 increases risks of developing cardiomyopathy. Codeine use among this age group also results in development of severe form of cardiomyopathy. It is however important to note that myocardial pathology can be reversed early.
Codeine nervous system side effects
Some of the most common codeine nervous system side effects include; restlessness, overstimulation, dizziness, euphoria, insomnia, dyskinesia, dysphoria, headache, tremor, exacerbation of phonic tics and motor and tourette's syndrome. Side effects such as long-term neurotoxicity have also been associated with codeine abuse.
Codeine gastrointestinal side effects
According to studies xerostomia that is secondary to chronic methamphetamine results in significant oral issues i.e. dental caries and tooth wear caused by bruxism. Some common codeine gastrointestinal side effects include; dry mouth, diarrhea, unpleasant taste, constipation, weight loss or undesired anorexia among other disturbances. Some rare gastrointestinal side effects of codeine include; giant ulcer formation.
Dermatological and endocrine side effects
Some of the common dermatological side effects of codeine include; urticaria or hives and skin rash. Endocrine side effects include; impotence, change in libido e.t.c.
Psychiatric and ocular codeine side effects
Psychiatric side effects of codeine include psychotic episodes. It is important to note that this side effect is common with high codeine doses. The side effect is therefore rare. Persistent psychiatric side effects in codeine users include; psychotic symptoms which are attributable to reduction in dopamine transporter activity. Ocular codeine side effects include; visual disturbances i.e. blurred vision and difficulty with accommodation caused by stimulant therapy.
Other codeine side effects
Other common codeine side effects in children aged 7 - 10 years is slow/stunted growth. Numerous experiments carried out on children receiving monitored codeine dosage treatment revealed slow growth rate. It is however important to note that there is no evidence of rebounding growth during and after experiments. It is therefore unknown whether prolonged or chronic usage of codeine cause permanent suppression of growth in children.
Other codeine side effects include significant elevation of plasma corticosteroid levels especially in the evening. Temporary growth suppression especially in adults is also a common codeine side effect associated with prolonged usage. Codeine is also known to interfere or affect urinary steroid determination.
In summary, not all codeine side effects are mentioned above. It is possible to experience other codeine side effects that may not be documented. In case this happens, consult your doctor immediately for advice.

Bank of England Holds Off on Rate Cut; May Ease More in a Month
Officials at the Bank of England surprised markets by deciding not to cut rates at their policy meeting on Thursday. Analysts expected a rate cut or at least more stimulus measures to be announced given the uncertainty and expected economic slowing resulting from the Brexit vote late last month.
The BOE did provide some additional stimulus immediately after the vote. And said in its policy statement that they would give it another month to assess Brexit's impact and would likely increase stimulus measures in August. The bank's benchmark rate is 0.5%.
U.S. Treasury yields rose after the policy statement was released. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note reached 1.52% shortly after 7:30 a.m. ET. That is the highest yield since the Brexit vote, but was just a few basis point move.
The bank's statement that it would likely ease more in a month"kept the spillover to the Treasury market limited," noted rates strategist Ian Lyngen in the Ader/Lyngen Morning Outlook. Yields were already higher overnight due to headlines in Japan about that country issuing "perpetual debt."
Aberdeen Asset Management economist Paul Diggle commented:
The Bank of England has decided that patience is a virtue. There's going to be a bit of disappointment in financial markets. They had taken [BOE Governor Mark] Carney's earlier comments about easier monetary policy to heart and forgot his reputation for changing his mind. But the next meeting is only three weeks away, and by then Carney and his colleagues will have a few extra post-referendum data points to digest as well as a new set of forecasts. The market should get it's way then, with an interest rate cut likely and renewed quantitative easing possible.
Peter Boockvar of The Lindsey Group wrote said he "applauds" the decision not to cut rates immediately. "The evidence continues to pile up that cutting rates closer to zero, let alone below, is causing more damage than any derived benefit," he wrote to clients.
For more on Brexit's impact on the U.K. economy, see Financial News: Brexit, which covers the fallout from the U.K.'s vote to leave the European Union.

Chapter Twenty Five: The Fifth HorsemanMature
Chapter Twenty Five: The Fifth Horseman
Darkness surrounded and enveloped me. It wrapped me up warm like a hat, scarf, gloves and coat. All it did was protect me, help me, and guide me. To unwelcome trespassers, this was my veil. They suffered in blindness while I prospered, able to see in the darkness as well as in any light. This was where I belonged. Nowhere else accepted me as well as here. There was nowhere else as nice, as protected or as warm as here.
There was no silence. The occasional tapping of horses' hooves and strapped, distressed whinnying of the well-trained horses broke it. They stood on either side of me, these four creations of mine. They did not need to be tamed, since they were my own creations. They obeyed my every command, usually without me having to even speak them.
Beside each of the horses were my four colleagues. They did what they were told and had done for all the millennia they'd been with me. There was not a thing they would not do for me. I had tested their loyalty to me many times over and each and every time, they had succeeded.
At first, I had to win their trust. After I picked all of them up, about a year or so apart, I promised them great things. The courage and determination that I instilled into them is exactly what I wanted to drive them on. I wanted them to know I was in charge and that equally they were all important to me. I also made it very clear that I could drop them immediately if they weren't adequate, or up to the tasks I set them. There were always going to be other people I could choose to replace them and I made sure they knew that.
With these requirements in place, none of them ever rebelled or played up. They all just wanted what I had promised them: a fourth of the entire world to rule over in whatever way they saw fit. They would have their dream eventually and they knew that. We had waited since the beginning of time to reach our goal, and all through that time, they had been patient. Now, as they realised how tantalisingly close they were to their final dream, their patience was wearing thin. They were restless, eager to get a piece of the action, yet bound by my rules not to attack anything unless I said so, to cause no more damage than I instructed.
I could tell that in a way, they resented me. They were here because they wanted power. What they wanted could only be given by me and therefore, they would to do as I said to live their extremely lengthened lives by my rules.
In the darkness that surrounded me, I waited. I had waited all my life for this time, for these moments. This event would install power to me and let me have my time. I was owed time. Now, was when I would be given what I was owed. My time was now, and there was no way I was going to let some scrawny young children win. There was not a thing that made me happier than to raise their hopes, letting them think that they had won against me, before making them watch as I pulled the plug on their stupid, worthless dreams.
I knew the next few hours were essential. It would be such a shame that I had to work during them, but I would try to make time to see them suffer. After all, who did you really think I was? Some do-good hero?

Vintage early Art Deco sterling silver marcasite cameo pendant necklace. The pendant measures 1-1/8" x 1", while the hand carved shell cameo itself measures 3/4" x 9/16". Accented by 4 bead set marcasites. Ornate filigree mounting accented with fine milgrained bead and scroll work. Richly age tarnished patina, has never been cleaned. Hallmarked "Sterling" on the back. Sterling silver 18" long chain with spring ring clasp, also marked "sterling". In excellent very well babied condition.
Please do note that all natural shell cameos when held to strong light will show fine growth lines to some extent, which is unique to each individual piece. We carefully examine all of our cameos to make sure that any hairlines do not penetrate the front and back surfaces of the shell, and do not compromise the integrity of the cameo.
Cameos make an incredible traditional bridal gift from mother to daughter, usually given with the intent of wearing at the wedding ceremony, and to eventually pass down to their own daughter. They also make a very popular choice for "Something Borrowed". We recommend storing fine cameo jewelry individually in a crush proof box, away from any other pieces that may damage them. Do not expose to extreme cold temperatures, and occasionally moisturize the shell with olive or mineral oil. Should you need a replacement marcasite, we do stock these in most sizes for your convenience and peace of mind.

Recent Developments in the Ordered Weighted Averaging Operators: Theory and Practice

In this chapter we address image compression by means of two alternative algorithms. In the first algorithm, we associate to each image an interval-valued fuzzy relation, and we build an image which is n times smaller than the original one, by using two-dimensional OWA operators. The experimental results show that, in this case, best results are obtained with ME-OWA operators. In the second part of the work, we describe a reduction algorithm that replaces the image by several eigen fuzzy sets associated with it. We obtain these eigen fuzzy sets by means of an equation that relates the OWA operators we use and the relation (image) we consider. Finally, we present a reconstruction method based on an algorithm which minimizes a cost function, with this cost function built by means of two-dimensional OWA operators.

Not HerMature
I came back home, deciding to stay home today to take care of Hazel, watching her every move.
I sat in a chair reading while Hazel was asleep on the couch. She looked to be so at peace. I decided to make her lunch awhile, secretly mashing her AZT pills inside of it. Now that I began living at their house, she hardly ever takes her pills. So I secretly put them in her food whenever I get the chance. I pick up the tray of food and place it gently on the coffee table beside the sofa, "Hazel," I gently shook her, "I have lunch for you."
"Hazel?" I spoke louder.
Still nothing, "Hazel dammit answer me!" I shook her harder, tears reaching my eyes. I touched her hand, cold, "Oh my God." I rushed over to the phone and dialed 911, "I need an ambulance. My girlfriend is unconcious on the couch..No she isn't breathing…about 26…22 Sunrise St….I don't know! Look just get over here quick! Please." I sobbed into the phone, "I have to call her son's school awhile. Please."
Please, God, not her.
The doctor walked up to Liam and I with a sympathetic face, "How bad is it?" I first asked. Best to get the worst over first. He sucked in a breath and said, "Well she's okay for now. The virus attacked her white blood cells and made them attack her heart. She was legally dead for about a minute or so, but the people in the ambulance managed to get her heart going again. Shes concious now if you want to talk to her."
I nodded and walked in with Liam. At the sound of people entering her room Hazel straightened her back a little, sea green eyes foggy from the pain relievers, "Liam, Joel." She simply stated. Liam ran up to her and gave her a hug, tears finally falling, "I thought you were gone Mommy."
"Oh no, Im too strong to go without a fight honey."
"Mommy, I'm sorry for anything that I've ever done bad. And I love you."
"Aww I love you too dear." I walked up as she said this, making her look up, "Joel, I'm sorry…I-I was going to tell you…I'm sorry."
"I'm fine. To be honest I already knew."
"You did? For how long?"
"Not too long ago," I lied, "I found your AZT pills in your cabinet. Ever since I've made sure you took them in whatever way. Why didn't you tell me from the very beginning though Hazel? I wouldn't have run." I told her sincerly.
"I wanted to so I could warn you….but everything got so caught up and I was…afraid…you wouldn't want me…"
"Oh no no no Hazel," I sat on her bed and placed my hand on her cheek, "I would never leave you, not even for this fact of you having AIDS . Never." Tears fell down her cheeks from these words, "Joel?"
"I love you….a lot."
"And I love you too," I leaned down to kiss her forehead gently, "Now would you be okay while I take Liam home? He's got to go take his AZT ."
"Of course." I began walking out with her permission, but then Hazel called my name to stop me, "Joel…I just wanted to say…that I will never leave without your and Liam's permission." I nodded, understanding what she meant by leaving.

Feet skin infection
My aunt lives in a remote village in UP. During rainy seasons she has to sometimes walk in water, mud and hard ground. As a result she has persistent burning sensation and painful infection between her toes. For the past one month or so, she developed a few callouses in her feet which later got cut and now are increasing in radius. The skin around them is hard and the sensation alternates between itching and painful. A local doctor had a look and said that the callous area would have to be cut and removed from the feet. Previous medication used are - panderm and vaseline but were not very effective. Please tell me what can be done in this situation to avoid the operation and get a permanent solution to the problem which keeps coming back.

Greetings. First of all she must stop applying Alta or red colour that she's apparently using. Secondly avoid walking around in wet soil, keep feet clean. Avoid too much contact with water. She'll need to use salicylic acid based cream as well as an anti biotic cream. Avoid using over the counter creams like panderm - these are unwarranted horrible combinations which can have bad side effects. See a qualified dermatologist near you. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging. Warm regards
