I'm baaaaaaaaaccccccckkkkkkk! Did you all miss me??
Okay, I am planning on finishing Forgotten Identity, I just read through it yesterday, and am planning on picking it back up as soon as my brain pumps out the next chapter for it.
In the meantime, I have had a load of stories, mostly half-way done on my computer that I wrote on whenever I was in a ahem maternal mood. Yes, they are Jack/Sam kid fics. So, with the cancellation of Stargate by Scifi, I thought I would start posting them as a "Next Generation" series. The stories are standalones. They have absolutely nothing to do with the other besides the fact that they involve Sam and Jack having children. This is the first one I am posting. I will probably post another tomorrow. I want to edit it a little first. Anyways, here's chapter one, let me know what you think!
A Son for a Father
"So, should we just head to the village or….." Daniel Jackson trailed off as he looked at the big man standing next to him for guidance.
"It has been many years since we have been on this planet, Daniel Jackson," Teal'c returned. "I believe it would be in our best interest to inquire for O'Neill in the village."
"Yeah, that's what I thought," Daniel replied in a quiet, sad voice and started trekking towards the village on the other side of the small grove of trees and shrubs.
As the two men walked, their eyes took in the scenery around them. "This place has recovered nicely from the meteor hits," Daniel announced nonchalantly.
"Indeed it has," Teal'c replied.
Daniel looked at his friend. Few words were common for the larger-than-life jaffa, but in the past few years, the big man had really opened up and spoke more than he ever had before. However, Daniel could hear the graveness in the man's voice and knew he was trying to cover it up by returning to his stoic, short replies in the aftermath of their tragedy.
After a small trek, the old-fashioned village came into view and the two men looked around for any familiar faces. Daniel smiled when the first face he recognized was none other than Laira, the very woman who could direct them to Jack.
"Dr. Jackson, Teal'c," Laira greeted with a smile as she approached the familiar aliens in the middle of the village. "It has been many years, what brings you back to Edora?"
"Uh, we're hear to see Jack," Daniel told her, looking around to see if he could see his old friend lurking anywhere.
"He is not here," Laira replied with surprise in her voice. "He left a long time ago."
"He….left?" Daniel asked incredulously. "Why?"
Laira diverted her gaze to the ground in discomfort. "Jack was not happy here…..with me….shortly after we returned, he became…..restless. He stayed by my side for much longer than I ever expected him to. But, eventually, I could no longer take his distance. I told him he could leave."
"And he did?" Daniel exclaimed in disbelief.
Laira nodded. "It took much convincing, but finally he relented."
"Do you know where we can find O'Neill?" Teal'c asked, not seeming at all surprised by Laira's news.
"Yes, yes I do. He found an abandoned world and set up a kind of base. He has recruited different people from different worlds and they travel through the stargate, much like you."
"Can you give us the address?" Daniel asked.
"Yes, of course. Come, I will walk you back to the stargate."
Daniel and Teal'c fell in step with the small woman. "So, uhm, Laira?" Daniel started in curiosity. "What about your child?" He had to ask. Maybe it was none of his business, but he just couldn't see Jack O'Neill leaving his child.
Laira's head lowered again and an air of sadness surrounded her. "I was mistaken in my belief that I was with child, Dr. Jackson."
"Oh?" Daniel replied, even more curious.
"I had many symptoms of pregnancy. That is why I dialed your world and informed Jack. However, once we returned here and several months passed without my stomach swelling, Jack became quite concerned."
"I can imagine," Daniel cut in.
"Our doctor's are not as advanced as yours, but Jack still insisted I see our local doctor. He had been on your world during the three months our stargate was buried and he had learned much of earth medicine. He examined me and told me I was going through the barren-cycle."
"I'm sorry, what is that?" Daniel asked.
"It is when my body changes from that of a woman capable of having children, to one incapable."
"Oh, yeah, we call that menopause on earth!" Daniel exclaimed in excitement, forgetting it was a very touchy subject.
Laira grimaced. "Yes, well, the symptoms often mimic that of pregnancy as the body changes. I was fooled."
"I'm sorry," Daniel replied sincerely.
Laira gave the archaeologist a small smile in response. "Here we are," Laira announced as they approached the DHD and then proceeded to give the two men the coordinates.
Daniel and Teal'c stepped through the stargate to the new world.
As soon as they rematerialized, they saw the group of armed men pointing weapons at them. "Don't shoot," Daniel told them, holding his hands up in surrender. "We are looking for Jack O'Neill."
A man stepped forward. He was about Daniel's height with red hair that hadn't seen a hairbrush in much too long of a time. He was dressed in clothes made up of some sort of rough-looking brown cloth, and the scowl on his face showed his dislike of the two men who had just invaded their world. "What do you want of him?" he gruffly asked.
"We're his friends. We come from earth. Please, we have news we must deliver to him," Daniel found himself pleading.
The red-haired man contemplated the two men standing before him. "What are your names?"
"I'm Daniel Jackson, and this is Teal'c."
The red-haired man looked over at a young, skinny boy and nodded. The boy nodded back and took off at a fast run through the trail in the forest.
"Allab will send word to O'Neill, if he wishes to see you, he will say so," the red-head told them, crossing his large, burly arms across his chest.
It only took a few minutes before the boy, Allab, came running back through the forest. Out of breath, the boy bent slightly over, resting his hands on his knees for a few seconds to catch his breath. "O'Neill says to bring them. He was quite pleased," the boy finally breathed out, his own excitement evident in his breathlessness.
Daniel grinned and nodded at Teal'c as two of the men escorted Teal'c and Daniel towards the forest.
Moments later, the forest opened up to reveal several small, wooden buildings, and right in the middle stood one retired colonel, Jack O'Neill.
"Daniel, Teal'c! Long time no see!" Jack exclaimed, a wide smile on his face as he walked up and embraced his old friends in a manly hug. "What brings you by, after all this time, to my little neck of the woods?"
Normally, seeing Jack again after all this time would have been a time to celebrate, and Daniel and Teal'c would have returned Jack's obvious jubilance to see them again. However, these were not normal times.
Hating himself for having to wreck Jack's good mood, Daniel cleared his throat and turned compassionate eyes up to his long-lost friend. "It's Sam, Jack."
Those three words plunged Jack's happy soul at finally seeing his friends again back down into the depths of despair. The smile disappeared from his face and shadows of fear replaced it. "What about Sam?" he croaked out, his voice broadcasting the fear that had quickly settled in his chest.
"She's gone, Jack," Daniel whispered, his own voice betraying him.
"Gone where?" Jack barked.
"Colonel Carter failed to return from battle, O'Neill," Teal'c announced.
"No," Jack moaned and covered his face with his hands. "She's dead?" he asked, his voice muffled from behind his hands.
"Her body was not recovered from the planet, however, we are under the assumption that is the case, O'Neill. Daniel Jackson and I both saw her fall in battle."
Jack groaned, desperately trying to keep the tears from falling. This could not be happening! Carter was invincible, damn it! She was invincible!
"There's more, Jack," Daniel broke into Jack's torment.
Jack lowered his hands and closed his eyes, turning his face up towards the sky. This could not be happening!
"She uh…..left you something…..in her will…..it's really important, Jack…..and you need to and…..get it," Daniel stuttered out.
"What?" Jack barked in irritation.
"I think you should come back with us," Daniel replied.
"Damn it, Daniel! I have a life here! I can't just leave these people, just tell me what the hell it is and I'll make the decision whether or not it's important!"
"It is your son, O'Neill," Teal'c's stoic voice sounded.
Jack's dark eyes turned to the jaffa. Scrunching up his face in confusion, he turned from Teal'c to Daniel's worried face, and back to Teal'c. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Sam had a son, Jack. Nine months after you returned to Edora," Daniel said, a slight hint of accusation in his voice.
Jack closed his eyes as long-pushed away memories assaulted his mind.
He had been whistling through the corridors of the SGC, happy that his team had forgiven him for his time undercover to bring down the NID's off world operation. He had said some awful things and he had worried they would not be as forgiving and understanding as they had been.
The klaxons sounded and he met up with Carter and General Hammond in the control room.
"We're receiving the Edoran's IDC, sir," Sgt. Herriman had announced.
General Hammond and Carter had both looked at him and he just shrugged. "Open the iris, sgt.," Hammond had ordered.
The iris had opened and Laira had walked through. Looking over at Carter and Hammond, who were both staring at him, he shrugged again and then headed down to meet the woman who had accepted him when no one else on her world had.
"Jack," she greeted, with a worried smile on her face. Her eyes fell on Carter for an instant as the major and general followed into the room behind him. Jack noticed the look of guilt that crossed the older woman's face before she turned her attention back to him.
"Laira," he greeted and hugged her. "What brings you by?"
"I am sorry to disturb you. I know we went our separate ways, but I wanted you to be aware that I am carrying your child."
Jack's mouth dropped open and his ears easily picked up the sharp intake of breath from Carter standing behind him.
Hammond had offered Laira accommodations and even a visit to the infirmary, but she had refused and only asked to be allowed back home. Her people were unaware of her trip to earth, and she wanted to get back before they realized she was gone.
Jack had hugged her, holding her tighter than before, the knowledge that she had a part of him growing inside her creating a bond he couldn't explain. He told her he would come to see her in a few days and she returned through the gate.
Jack didn't know what to do. On the one hand, he had a life, friends, family, everything he needed right here. On the other hand, Laira was carrying his child. His child. The chance to be a father again, to have a second chance, it was too great to walk away from. He made his decision.
With a heavy heart, he had informed both Teal'c and Daniel of his decision to retire and move to Edora to be with his child. Both men were upset, but understood. Jack O'Neill had been a father, without a child, for many years. It was time for him to return to the role he was meant to be.
Carter had left base right after Laira had arrived and had requested a few days of leave, so Jack had gone to her house to tell her good-bye.
She opened the door after he knocked, her face puffy and blotchy, obvious signs that she had been crying. He took one look at her and his heart broke. He loved her. He really, truly did. He didn't know when his feelings of respect and comradeship had turned so dangerously into attraction and desire, but they had, a long time ago, and as the months and years passed, they had morphed into a deep love that he had fought everyday to hide from the rest of the world.
And now, he was going to leave her. The woman he was in love with, albeit, she had no idea. As he stood on her doorstep, staring up into her blue, watery eyes, he knew he could never feel for Laira the way he felt for her. They had a connection he had never shared with anyone else. And, his heart cried for her. But, he had to leave. He had to be with his child. The need to be a father again was too great.
"You're leaving," she whispered, knowing exactly why he was there.
Jack licked his lips. "I'm sorry," he whispered back.
Sam looked at him, unable to stop the tear that escaped her eye and ran down her cheek. "Me, too," she whispered, her voice catching as she tried to stop a sob from escaping.
And then, Jack felt a fire flame up in his gut. A need he could no longer ignore. Cupping her face, he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her with all the passion he had been suppressing for the past couple years.
And, much to his surprise, she returned his kiss with a passion of her own, and before either could say another word, he was in her house, the door was shut, and clothes were being removed.
They had made love without a word passed between them. They both knew he was leaving, that their afternoon together, was just that, an afternoon together. A last chance to know the other intimately. And no words were needed.
She had fallen asleep in his arms, and after holding her for much longer than he should have, he slowly scooted out from beneath her and dressed. Sitting on her bed, he gently brushed the hair from her face and gazed lovingly down at her sleeping form. "I love you, Sam," he whispered before kissing her lightly on the forehead and walking out of her life.
"My son?" Jack's voice broke as he asked the question.
"Yeah, your son, Jack," Daniel's quiet, poignant voice confirmed.
"You're sure?" he asked, his face showing signs of shock.
"Well," Daniel started. "He looks a lot like you, and he acts a lot like you, and not to mention, Sam said he was yours and the DNA test proved it, so yeah, we're sure."
Jack closed his eyes and took in a deep breath of air, his body parts feeling numb and tingly at the same time. How could this be happening?
"Give me ten, I have to let the guys know what's going on," Jack whispered, his eyes still showing the pain that both Daniel and Teal'c had been feeling for days.

Get Your Book On: 4 Back-to-School Tips from Our Instructors
Posted by Staff Writer on August 30, 2013
Historically, Labor Day has signified the end of summer. Last-minute vacations, fair excursions and preparations for the fall fill up the final weeks of August and opening weeks of September.
For many, the holiday also represents the beginning of a new school year and back-to-school preparations. Students of all ages will return to the classrooms, lecture halls and libraries to move one step closer to a diploma or degree.
The official fall start for Minnesota School of Business students is in October, but it is never too early to start preparing yourself for a new quarter of learning. Here are four pieces of advice from our instructors to help students transition from sandy beaches and warm summer nights, to classroom tables and study sessions.
Resident Veterinarian Dr. Whitney Woelfle (veterinary technology program)
"It never hurts to review what you learned during the previous semester. Refreshing the knowledge you gained will help dust off the cobwebs in your brain and start you off on the right foot for the new quarter."
Director of Career Services Stacey Schmitt (Career Capstone instructor)
"Even though Career Capstone is near the end of most programs, don't be afraid to start your job search earlier in the program. Career services is here to help with that!"
Business and Accounting Program Chair Bernie Mullen
"The best advice I could give to students making back-to-school preparations is don't get behind in your homework. Only 30 percent of students actually read text in advance of class. If you don't prepare, you're continually playing catch-up. Come to class prepared and ready to engage in conversation."
Service Learning Coordinator Amy Harms Hoad
"My advice would be talk to your teacher and form a relationship with them. We are always there for you, and we want to help you be successful. Ask questions and always know what's expected of you in and out of the classroom."

Author has written 9 stories for Monster Hunter, Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, and Pacific Rim.
This was supposed to be about Monster Hunter... whoops.
Anyway, I'm Raelinae! Nice to meet you, and if you like Free! (and more specifically Marinka/MakoRinHaru/Free!some) pull up a chair and sit your butt down- we need to have lengthy discussions about swimmer boys!
A quick word about my stories:
Sight Unseen: A companion fic to Of Boys and Cats, dealing with the other ships in OBAC's universe- Reigisa, Seigou, and Sugitori (involving a male OC)- and also my little smut farm for the main fic
Destiny: While this soulmate-AU-story is complete, I'd like everyone to know that a sequel is in the works for it! It'll just be a while before anyone gets it, because I decided upon an idea for it that has turned the sequel into a massive project. Rest assured, it does exist!
There'll be a few more Free! Marinka fics added in soon! A merman AU has been getting kicked about for a while, an Endingverse (Splash Free!) AU, and something Valeforwings convinced me to do, the rotten little bugger... (Just kidding, kohai, you're amazing)

Canada retailers plan trade guidelines after Bangladesh disaster
April 30 (Reuters) - The Retail Council of Canada said on Tuesday it will develop a new set of trade guidelines in response to last week's deadly collapse of a Bangladesh garment factory complex that manufactured apparel for western retailers including Loblaw Cos Ltd.
The move follows a private emergency meeting of retailers on Monday including Loblaw, Sears Canada Inc and Wal-Mart Canada to discuss how it would deal with the tragedy, which has killed at least 390 people.
The industry association, which represents the operators of more than 43,000 stores in Canada, said it will work with international organizations, Bangladeshi government and others to find ways to address safety in the Bangladesh garment industry.

Thank you SO much to everyone who voted for me in the Total Politics Blog Awards - I've made it into the top 50 non aligned bloggers at number 22, and I'm the second top woman on the list. I've come in ahead of Jon Snow of Channel4 and Adam Boulton from Sky to whom I feel I should be offering lessons in 'how to throw a tantrum' to after witnessing his attempts.
It's also fantastic to see Underdogsbiteupwards at number 3 as that's two disabled people with very different perspectives on politics and disability in the top 50!
Thanks again everyone - these awards usually only have one name on them but they are really for all of us campaigning and trying to make a difference to politics, so congratulations to you all.

LegIron: I think you're the top placed blogger who's not blogging for mainstreammedia which is ace! I found it interesting (but I am very dull!) that the non aligned section is so dominated by the msm bloggers...those who aren't msm are mostly libertarians
Let me know if you have any luck with the blogging for fags trick..I'll have to start smoking again ;)

We operate as an MSP and have multiple clients in the area all connected to our central server using remote collectors. I would like to be able to get remote control to work through spiceworks but have been having trouble.
By default it tries to use RDP with the hostname of the target computer, but because we're talking about different networks, each with its own internet DNS, it fails. Even if it used the IP address of the target instead of the hostname, it still wouldn't work unless the firewall at the remote site had the ports open. Am I missing something here? I assumed that because there is already an established connection between sites (the remote collector to our Spiceworks installation) that the RDP session would be sent to Spiceworks at the clients location then routed to appropiate the workstation.
I'm guessing its simply not designed this way, so let me ask, how does the community setup remote control between sites?

I use Logmein, providing the workstation has an internet connection I can get in
Jun 1, 2012 at 5:58 UTC
Which version of LogMeIn are you using? I have Logmein Rescue, but the plugin under tools for a system doesn't seem to work. All it does it open the LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console but never connects to the workstation.
Jun 2, 2012 at 7:05 UTC
Spiceworks tries VNC then RDP but you need the appropriate ports open in the firewall. Having a remote site connected does not mean you can remote control all the computers on that site
The plugin for LogmeIn launches the LogMeIn console, PM the logmein guy for help
Jun 8, 2012 at 6:15 UTC
I'm not having much luck finding who you are referring to.. think you could point me in the direction of the "logmein guy"?

PURPOSE: A Canadian disease management (DM) study demonstrated short- and long-term reductions in all-cause hospitalizations in patients with COPD even after active DM stopped (Eur Respir J 2005;26:853). Using a simplified COPD DM program, we previously demonstrated significant reductions in hospital admissions and urgent care visits during DM (Am J Respir Crit Care 2010;182:890). The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes of our patients who underwent DM.
METHODS: This was a prospective multi-center, randomized, controlled, 1-year study of simplified COPD DM compared to UC. Long term outcomes post-DM were monitored using the VA computerized database system and included all-cause mortality (up to 3.5 years post-study), all-cause hospital admissions (through 2 years post-study) and urgent care visits (through 2 years post-study).
RESULTS: 743 patients (DM = 372 and UC = 371) were enrolled at 5 VA sites. There were no between-group differences in the number of patients ever admitted [DM 144 (38.6%) vs UC 150 (40.5%), P=0.59] or who had urgent care visits [DM 179 (48.0%) vs UC 187 (50.5%), P=0.49]. Time to first hospital admission or urgent care visit was also similar. All-cause mortality at 3.5 years post -study was not statistically different between the two groups [DM 146 (39.2%) vs UC 164 (44.2%), log-rank P=0.136]. Various time-dependent, composite endpoints combining hospital admissions, urgent care visits and mortality failed to demonstrate between-group differences.
CONCLUSIONS: Although a recent multicenter VA study (the BREATH trial) was stopped early because of increased mortality in the COPD DM arm, a retrospective analysis of our prospectively collected data suggests that DM is safe. Long-term outcomes were similar between the two groups once DM was stopped. This suggests that DM needs to be continued to get long-term benefit.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: COPD DM needs to be further evaluated as a potential strategy to deliver rural health care and optimize long-term outcomes with potential for improved survival.

Re: Contacting PlayStation Network
many factors in lag. the main is ps3 uses wireless g. not N like 360 or vita. alot of psn players use wifi and never think its them. its them. those with wired connections enjoy a much smoother experience online. wifi n is superior thats why it appears better on 360. so its not psn. its the users. not the network.
Re: Contacting PlayStation Network
why ps3 never released an N adapter is beyond me. ps4 will be wifi N thank god. but nothing beats a hardwired ethernet connection. nothing.
Re: Contacting PlayStation Network
yeah man do a speedtest online and its a huge difference. wifi g on ps3 literally cuts your speed by 40 percent. wifi G doesnt have the bandwidth to support hd streaming or high speed gaming its awful. wifi N Is 15 times faster than G. but if you want the best stay wired. on the back of every router box in stores wifi g is never recommended for hd streaming or gaming. only wifi N is. hope this helps. stay wired my friends

Report by Matt Wall - stats provided by the Press Association
Harriers turned in an improved performance at Stevenage on Saturday but returned home empty handed after suffering their second defeat in three League games on a luckless afternoon.
It was a frantic start to the game with both sides registering chances inside three minutes - first, Chris Beardsley's header needing clearing by the Harriers defence before Damian Spencer went close to scoring for the visitors, a chip beating goalkeeper Chris Day but going off target.
The strong beginning continued and on the fifth minute mark Day was again beaten as David McDermott cut inside and fired superbly towards goal, the dropping effort thumped off the cross bar with the visitors denied.
The pace of the game then slowed for ten minutes or so. First, Gavin Crowe was called on to attend to a facial injury to Dean Coleman, Boro's Beardsley then needing the home physio on. After the latter, however, Harriers went close once more as Spencer's header from a great McDermott free-kick saw Day forced into a neat low save at the foot of his far post.
Their goal leading a charmed life, Stevenage went up the other end and almost got the game its first goal on 24 minutes, first as Charlie Griffiin struck the post with a header, Jon Ashton with a great strike from the recycled ball flying just over.
An end-to-end affair continued to be such when just shy of the half-hour mark, excellent work from skipper Chris McPhee saw the ball held up and switched in field to Dean Bennett who hit a 30 yard effort over the bar.
Edging further and further into the game, it was Boro who eventually strode ahead but yet again the goal was a soft one, a 38th minute free-kick around ten yards into the Harriers half was lofted all the way up into the area - a crowd of blue-shirted bodies could do little about it, one flick and the ball was in the back of the net courtesy of Ashton's looping header.
Harriers came out for the second half and were dealt the biggest of blows within a minute - fuming and appealing for an offside decision during Boro's build-up, the home side simply took care of business as the ball was floated into the area, straight to the feet of the onrushing, untracked Mitchell Cole who lashed it past Coleman on the angle.
Mark Yates' side were desperate to make an instant reply and in Brian Smikle's 57th minute header they went close, but Day saved well and released a Boro counter from which Griffin saw his downward headed effort go off target.
Six after the hour Stevenage would have expected to add a third as David Bridges rose unchallenged from a corner kick but his effort was tame and over the bar. Four minutes further on, sub Ryan Charles saw a distance effort at the other end go some way wide.
Fellow sub Aaron Farrell went some way closer on 73 - after playing a neat one-two with Smikle, the striker was played in on the angle and drove a decent effort just wide of the target.
Seven minutes from time the lively Charles ensured Harriers would at least go down fighting with another rising drive from distance, a grounded effort from the same man coming in added time.

Running Change ( working title.)Mature
A teen fujitive story.
In a slightly loud boisterous run down bar sat a boy who looked a bit young for his age to be sitting at a bar. Though no one seemed to be aware or care for his presence as he sat in the secluded corner observing the warm mug of beer before him. A look of boredom crossed the features of his face his green eyes unalert his lips slightly curved down as his chin rested on his left arm. His lightly tanned skin darkened as the shadow of a large man casted itself over the boy.
"Hey Marek." A light slightly cocky male voice adressed the boy.
"Hi." Marek replied not taking his eyes off the now spinning liquid in the mug. The shadow lifted as the sound of a chair scraped on the ground, and a hand wrapped in cloth grabbed the mug of beer away from him. Marek finally looked up moving away the untidy blond hair that fell on his green eyes.
"It tastes like dog piss and motor oil." He warned trying to sound uninterested in his new companion.
"Hmm, you didn't tell me you drank dog piss, or motor oil." Retorted the man taking a large swig of the drink slamming it on the the scratched up metallic table. The roughened features of his face gave a look of pure disgust resisting to swallow the liquid. With a large gulp these features seemed relieved but still disgusted.
" I think you're right." He spat.
"I tried warning you Tim." Marek said wit a smile playing on his lips.
"You know I thought you were kidding." Tim said putting an unlit beaten cigarette in his mouth taking the opportunity to rub the dark black stubble growing on his narrow cheeks. His energetic blue eyes seeming to encourage a rebelliousness within Marek.
"How was the run up here?" Marek asked.
"Average. They checked us 20 times, some were pulled off, god knows whats going to happen to them. Still we were able to move some equipment under their nose." Tim said quietly before looking over his shoulder," Let's talk elsewhere I feel as if the walls have eyes." He said.
"Yes." Marek said peeking over his shoulder seeing a couple of men keeping a keen on eye on the two friends as they left from their seats. Outside the bar the sun was beginning to play along the horizon of the blue sky. This was a sign that the curfew time would be in a couple hours. Soldiers were visible every few blocks, some carried a scanning machine. Nothing could be hidden from the soldiers, or the government for that matter. It was a war on the people , a war that already been won but is still being waged. Resistance was usually quelled quickly, speaking ill of the government was punishable by death depending on the evidence. Freedom in this day was being scanned, watched, getting hassled at work, hassled when you go home. Hassled at every turn and being imprisoned for the slightest things. For most it was easier to take this as it comes saying anything could wind up dead. Resistance was often greeted by quick death. However the current resistance seemed to be making it by. So far this particular resistance was the biggest, and greatest of all of its predecessors.
There was ways to get around these scanners, for example like concealing a weapon with a few metal plates, and chip giving a fake image for the scanner. That was still risky, and getting away with that sorta of trick was 50 50 chance. Marek and Tim made there way quickly through the crowd, checking behind them for the two men from the bar.
"can you see them?" Marek whispered harshly.
"A distance away I have an idea. Just follow me." Tim said taking a right down a busy street filled with busseling with business.
"Are they following you?" Marek said.
"Possibly I think I saw them when I left the station. Left here." He directed moving them onto a less busy side street, while looking over his shoulder," We lost them for now I think. I have something to ask of you Marek. We'll have to meet later, at the safe house near the old theatre house." Tim said.
"Where are you going?"
" I'm going to deal with those two without getting you involved." He said with a devious smile.

Boscov's files for bankruptcy protection
They cut costs. Dumped millions of their own money into the nation's largest family-owned department store chain. Refinanced debt and promised vendors they'd make good on late payments. They even courted private-equity investors.
"Will it be enough?" they asked themselves time and again.
By Friday night, it had become clear: Bankruptcy was inevitable. "There was no going back," Lakin said.
The Reading company, whose stubbornly old-style stores anchor many of the region's malls and which proudly flaunts customer service with a smile (homemade fudge, too), filed yesterday for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

text: Hi, the title says nearly everything... when i log in on Win7, the alt-gr key works properly, but after logged in, the key changes to an alt-key... so alt-gr + tab works as alt+tab. i know the combination of strg+alt, but for programming its really not a long-time-solution. my keyboard-layout is "Deutsch(Österreich)", but it doesnt work with "Deutsch(Deutschland)" as well. i didnt change anything on the layout, i just worked in eclipse, and suddenly i couldnt write some special-chars. the key isnt defect at all, because its working in a virtual machine (which runs XP) perfectly. i have no idea what to do, since im new in Win7. hope i get here an answer that solves my problem greetz, Nardian /edit: oO i just restarted the VM (Virtual Box), and it works again? well.. i hope that solves the problem, i wont delete this (dont know if i even could so ). probably it helps someday someone else byyye
