Talking to reporters here Badal said, before unnecessarily raking up the issue just to score brownie points and demonstrating oneupmanship, Hooda must remember that Haryana had been carved out from Punjab after reorganisation on November 1, 1966 and there was hardly any substance in his claim over Chandigarh.
Hooda should desist from making such hollow statements just to gain cheap popularity, he said stressing, "Chandigarh is an integral part of Punjab."
When asked to comment on the Food Security Ordinance, the Chief Minister said it was an irony of fate that the Centre has never made any effort to store grains.
The Centre was deliberately lingering on proposals of extending scientific storage facilities to Punjab despite the issue being taken up by him with the government, he alleged.
Replying to another question on alleged misuse of funds in Punjab Technical University, Badal said law would take its own course in this matter.

USA Today Column: Time to Redouble AIDS Fight in Black Community
Posted on December 01, 2011 by Roslyn M. Brock, NAACP Chairman and Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP President & CEO
*Cross-posted from USA Today
On this World AIDS Day, as the world focuses its attention on the epidemic around the globe, we cannot forget there is an HIV crisis raging right here in our own backyards.
Blacks are more likely to become infected, less likely to get treatment, less likely to know they have the disease and more likely to die from HIV and AIDS than any other race.
Yet a dangerous mix of complacency, cultural stigma and outright denial continues to fuel this epidemic in our communities.
The late Dorothy Height— a civil rights pioneer and longtime chair of the National Council of Negro Women— once likened the fight against AIDS to the most important civil rights crusades of our time. She said, we must "talk about HIV, as we talk about jobs, as we talk about housing, as we talk about civil rights." She was right.
Her words carry new urgency in light of a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that tells us while African Americans make up just 14% of the U.S. population, they account for almost half (44%) of all new HIV infections in the nation every year. Black women also continue to be hard hit, making up nearly 60% of all infections among women each year.
But most troubling is news from the same report, which shows that while new HIV infections have stayed stable across the board from 2006 to 2008, one group — young black gay and bisexual men — have experienced an astronomical increase of 48% in just three years in HIV infections.
Staggering statistics
These statistics are mind-boggling and heart-breaking. Even more, they remind us that we will never overcome the scourge of HIV until and unless we confront the demons in our own communities that have allowed it to flourish: stigma and homophobia. Together, they prevent far too many in our community from seeking testing, prevention and treatment.
In light of the recent and troubling data showing stark increases in HIV infections among our young gay and bisexual men, we must first purge our own hearts of this prejudice and then rally together as a community to rid homophobia from our culture.
Like members of any family, we will sometimes disagree; we may not see eye to eye and the conversation may be uncomfortable. But we cannot ignore this challenge. What happens to one member of our family happens to us all. And if we are to stand for civil rights, we must stand for civil rights for all.
That means we in the black community must work to create safe spaces in our homes, schools and places of worship to talk openly about HIV. The time to start is now.
Coordinated effort
Over the past year, the NAACP along with some of the nation's foremost African-American organizations has joined forces with the Obama administration and the CDC to fight HIV in every corner of our communities. Together, we have committed to extend our collective reach and strength to integrate HIV prevention into everything we do: at our national conventions, through our media outlets and in our local chapters across the nation.
If you are reading this, the responsibility also starts with you: Take an HIV test. Know your status. Protect yourself and speak out against homophobia and the stigma attached to HIV whenever possible. We can no longer be silent as too many of our sisters and brothers grow ill and perish from this disease.
Together and individually, we must confront this threat with the same tireless energy we have exhibited in our fight for better jobs, better housing and in the ongoing struggle to ensure civil rights for all.
Roslyn M. Brock is chairman of the NAACP's Board of Directors. Benjamin Todd Jealous is president and CEO of the NAACP.

An overlooked gem from the years when most of the rest of the world had forgotten about the JBs – but Fred Wesley and the group were still going strong! The set's a great meeting of two funky generations – the classic James Brown funk of the late 60s and early 70s, and some of the revival modes that sprung up on the London scene at the end of the 80s – heard to best effect here in the way the album was recorded – with core horns from Wesley on trombone, Maceo Parker on alto sax, and Pee Wee Ellis on tenor – plus added London grooves in a real Brand New Heavies mode! The groove is nice and hard, and the album's way more of a classic-styled funk outing than most of the other JBs-revival titles from the same stretch – thanks to rock-solid production from the Soulciety family too. Noel McKoy, Jay Ella Ruth, and other Brit funk talents help out on the set – and titles include "What Goes Around", "Chillin With Fred", "Picture On The Wall", "Homeboy", "Push", and "I Like It Like That".

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

weather for Mexia
Texans who suffered damage or losses from the March 7-29 severe storms, tornadoes and flooding – including Lake Mexia residents – only have until Wednesday, May 18, to register for FEMA assistance.
"We do not want to see anyone lose the opportunity to receive money that they are due," said Federal Coordinating Officer Kevin Hannes, who is in charge of FEMA's operations in Texas. "But as we deal with multiple disasters here in Texas, FEMA must ask survivors to meet this deadline so that we can start the next steps in the recovery process."
To register, people can go online anytime at DisasterAssistance.gov. Survivors also can register with FEMA by phone (voice, 711 or video relay service) at 800-621-3362 (FEMA), TTY 800-462-7585. The toll-free lines are open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time, seven days a week. Multilingual operators are available.

The Rev. Fred Sain, pastor of Limestone County's Prairie Hill Baptist Church for more than 66 years, can't say exactly when he got the call to preach. That's because some of his earliest memories are preaching on an overturned apple box in the back yard of his family's home. That was in Garza County, south of Lubbock, in the mid-1930s, when he was five or six years old. Back then, his audience was his parents, John and Ruth Sain, his grandparents and baby brother, Johnny.
Young Fred answered the call on a formal basis years later. By then his family had moved to Slayton, where his father was a cotton gin operator.

Limestone County commissioners court, in a mixed vote, said it will not pay for some missing acetylene gas cylinders, which Mexia's Matheson welding supply company says it leased to the county in 2013.
The problem is that the cylinders, which are used for welding projects, apparently went missing in 2013, but commissioners did not find out about it until much later. The initial project was for the county to have extra bunkbeds installed at the Limestone County Detention Center, the county-owned private prison, which had lost its federal contract to house inmates and whose last inmates were moved out in June 2013. Having more beds would have made the LCDC eligible to bid on new federal contracts.
The court initially approved paying an invoice of $4,751 at the Aug. 12, 2013, meeting to buy a welding machine.

The ex-wife of a man murdered in Mexia five years ago was arrested and charged with his death, Mexia Police announced Friday night.
In a press release posted just before 8:30 p.m., MPD said Mary Elizabeth Jacoby, 59, of George West, had been arrested at 8:43 a.m. April 22 at the Live Oak County Sheriff's Department in George West. She was arrested by Mexia Police Department Detective Richard "Chip" Hundley and Texas Ranger Patrick Peña, after being indicted by the Limestone County Grand Jury for murder.
Bond was set at $250,000 and she was taken to Limestone County Jail. George West is about halfway between San Antonio and Corpus Christi, at the intersection of U.S. 59 and U.S. 281. Mary Jacoby was living there with her son from another marriage.
"I'm pleased that we were finally able to make an arrest," Hundley said. "Murder is a thing that never goes away. We never stop working on those cases."

Many people search for answers when terrible things happen. Its hard to comprehend this could happen especially when it is nearby.
The day after the shooting I believe it was in Pakistan a dozen 11 year old girls were killed by a car bomb. We don't have the sympathy connection when things happen far away such as this incident that happens almost weekly, but when things happen closer to home the more we feel the pain and express our deepest sympathys.
Our society has changed for the worse in the past 25 years. When I was in school the worst that happened was someone pulling a fire alarm.
I hate to think where we will be in the next few years if we continue on this path of entitlement and hatred.
Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family......
Before the Bible was removed from the schools, we were taught that God created humans, and they were all His children. Only the mentally deranged could even think of hurting/killing one of them.
Today's children have no sense of such value. And since they've been taught that there is no hell, they don't fear parents/teachers/policemen. Until 'the axe falls', they have no understanding of consequences.
God, or no God...the consequences WILL still come...
.....95% of those 'out there' under da age of 35 today....
Ps:.....are schidt-for-brains.
.and den sum toooooooooooo.
The don't know da difference between a Christmas Caroll and a Christmas jingle.
Forever and Ever

Primary care in the Asia-Pacific region: challenges and solutions

Asia Pacific Family Medicine aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of high quality regional research and to enhance the standards of family medicine by focusing on best practice. The ultimate goal is to enhance the provision of primary care to our patients.
Regional diversity
Geographically large and home to a substantial proportion of the world's population, the region includes substantial diversity in culture, language, economic maturation and demography. Most nations share problems such as ageing populations, increasing complexity of disease, workforce shortages, a need for increasing technology and accelerating costs. Some project substantial growth in middle class affluence and aspiration, which are major drivers of demand for improved quality. Some still struggle with high child mortality and infectious disease prevalence, particularly with Malaria and Dengue fever. While some show potential to be the economic powerhouses of the near future, a few have substantial poverty, sometimes related to civil warfare and terrorism. Yet these health issues are managed by diverse health care systems, with different proportions of primary, secondary and tertiary care, access to health care and funding models. The Asia-Pacific region shares with the rest of the world the challenges of allocating health care resources to achieve efficiently an increase in the quality of health care. In a sense the region has the potential to be a fascinating laboratory for comparing just how the shared challenges can be managed.
Healthcare system diversity
There are at least three kinds of health care system within the region: the British legacy of strong, first contact, medical primary care; US-style 'competition' between primary and secondary care; and non-medical primary health care, all either with or without universal access. Family Medicine is not always recognized as a defined specialty and, where present, requires variable levels of training and recognition. Health care is often delivered by innovative categories of less trained and less expensive workers. Primary medical care is believed to be associated with more equitable and more cost-efficient health care, and private primary care has been shown to be 'better' in Hong Kong when delivered through private rather than public practices [1]. On the other hand, non-medical primary care works well in less developed nations, achieving high vaccination rates and success with other prevention measures. China has a mixed system, but has some of the best health statistics in the world as well as now challenging the USA, UK and Europe for leadership in the advance of medical science, begging the question: how?
Healthcare system reforms
Major reforms to health systems are under consideration almost everywhere, as costs escalate much faster than growth in national wealth. For example, the USA, home to a bimodal system of both excellent (technical quality of) and poor (access to) health care, wants to extend access. The UK has a universal access system that is struggling to cope due to rapid cost increases. Within the region, Singapore plans to increase access and, in parallel with Malaysia, is seeking to become a health hub for the rest of Asia, perhaps benefiting from medical tourism. Hong Kong is considering increasing the size of the private health system [2]. Australia and New Zealand have universal access systems, but access often requires some co-payment through a form of government-supported public health system.
Family medicine training
Many countries in the region have formal postgraduate training in Family Medicine but their duration, content and pathways vary [3]. It is not a question of one better than the others. They are established with specific regulations and specifications in mind [4, 5, 6, 7]. This also leads to varying levels of recognition by other medical specialties, with specialist status in some countries [8, 9, 10]. Furthermore, mandatory referrals from primary care practitioners are not required in some systems within the region. How do these variations affect the interface between primary care and secondary care?
Common mental health disorders e.g. anxiety and depression offers a good example to examine the roles that primary care can play in the region. These high prevalent disorders cannot be dealt with by specialist psychiatrists alone. However, are most primary care professionals competent in dealing with them? What kind of training would help to enhance their skills to a level sufficient for optimal care? Other high prevalent disorders e.g. hypertension and diabetes mellitus offer similar opportunities to examine the role of primary care in different localities.
The natural experiment we are observing in the Asia-Pacific region suggest several research questions. Which of the three health system models is appropriate for which conditions? Is there a relationship between presence of a recognized Family Medicine specialty and health care quality?
As primary care gets better developed in the region, we must also recognize the different needs of different populations. In countries with established primary care, most of the general population recognize their general practitioners/family physicians as their first contact point with the healthcare system. However, such is not the situation in countries where primary care is relatively unestablished but is being promoted [11, 12, 13, 14, 15]. It would also be highly relevant to examine how acceptable Family Medicine is in being the first contact care for the general population: is this about improving access or 'gate-keeping'?
There is never going to be one model fits all. However, there are certainly lessons and experiences to be shared among the different systems. Asia Pacific Family Medicine welcomes submissions from different systems so that advances are made to enhance our service to our patients.
Editors' note
This is the "Valedictory Remark" by Professor Richard Hays as the outgoing Co Editor-in-Chief of Asia Pacific Family Medicine. The Co Editors-in-Chief and the Editorial Board would like to thank Professor Hays for his contributions to the journal since its inception.

We woke up on Sunday morning to rain and so decided to venture out of La Rioja and drive into Basque country to visit the Guggenheim Museum at Bilbao. This building, also designed by Frank Gehry, was unbelievable and so impressive. The 20th & 21st century art was pretty impressive too.

Wizards' War
Every wizards' guild has been attacked and overrun by dark wizards but, as there are rivalries between guilds, will they team together to defeat them? Or will they simply join them?
My necklace was glowing. I had another battle. I sigh, and pause my music then get up and walk to the door. Going out, I pull out my mysterious-blue necklace, and see where it leads me. It's started blinking, so I change my direction, heading towards the courtyard. Then it stops. I was in the middle of the courtyard, yet again, my last 3 battles were all here aswell.
I get my mind set and soon a boy comes out of a door. The Spell-Creating door, eh? Well, that's my strong point so he'd better watch out! I think, a small smile creeping on to my face. He walks up to me,
"So, you're Karianna Sharp then. You're different to how I imagined you."
"Yes, I am. How did you imagine me then? Oh, so you're Glaze Rhian, I suppose." I say calmly.
"Well, I thought of you as a strong athletic girl, with a talent for magic. And of course it's me - who else would a guy like me be?" He taunts me.
"Oh, so I'm not strong or athletic then? Boy, are you gonna be surprised!" I answer, laughing lightly. As a reply he thrusts his hands out, creating a gust of wind heading in my direction. I was ready so hastily push my hands to the right. The wind goes off into the lake and, as it does, I mutter a few words so that he's thrown on to the grass. A shocked look on his face, I speed over to him and turn my hand round, which made his hands twist together until they merge into one. My favourite spell. I smile and step back surveying my work. I laugh when I see his face - a shocked and scared look, mixed in with confusion.
I walk away, leaving him on the floor. Another battle won, and many more to come!

Chapter Ten
The journey back to school was, for the most part, uneventful. We did have a few cases of pupils feeling sick, but luckily there was no actual vomiting, so neither Jen nor I had to do any cleaning. When we arrived at the school gates clouds were beginning to form in the sky, a foreboding grey force that threatened a storm. We waited until all the students had gone, then hurried to our cars, anxious to not be caught in the rain. I waved to Jen as we left the school car park, then drove home, ready to sit down and continue my story. When I got in, I turned on my laptop, changed in to some jeans and flicked on to my book.
Kissing Sally was the most incredible experience Carrie had ever had. As she felt the soft brush of her lips, Carrie sighed in contentment. This was much better than kissing a guy. It felt right, and the tingling that still fluttered along her lips from the fireworks that had exploded as they began kissing was making her head spin. Sally pulled away, leaving Carrie with her eyes closed, lips parted, sad that it was over.
"I'm sorry." Sally muttered.
"No. I mean... that was amazing."
"Are you drunk? Carrie, I thought you were straight."
"I guess not. But I thought you were."
"Hell no! I haven't been since I saw the girls changing after sport at school."
"I was in that class."
"I know." Sally grinned at Carrie, making her blush. "Can I kiss you again?"
As an answer Carried leaned in and let her lips brush against Sally's once more.
I ran my fingers through my hair and smiled. Finally the two of them were together. I glanced outside and saw that the rain had stopped, although the clouds were still rolling in the sky. I debated whether or not I should go for a walk. I decided I needed to freshen my mind so stood and stretched, then grabbed my jacket. Outside all the smells were enhanced from the rain storm, and I took a deep breath. I love being outside after it's rained. Everything seems so new, so refreshed.
I decided I was going to walk along the footpath at the side of my house. After a few minutes I saw a hedgehog wandering across my path. I paused and watched him making his way through the grass, then continued to walk. Around half way down the path I stopped, ready to turn back, but a gap in the trees to my right caught my eye. Intrigued I stepped closer. I'd never seen this before, and having had good experiences when exploring before, I thought I might check out where the gap led to. It might lead to a hidden place that was similar to the little hollow I had found when I was little. I entered the gap and realised that it led in to the wood that was situated at the outskirts of the town. I felt twigs cracking under my feet as I stepped further in to the woods, admiring the greens and browns that were growing around me. Then my heart leapt in my chest as my silence was interrupted by a voice.
"Hey there." My heart beating wildly I looked around, but could see no source of the voice. There was a laugh. "Up here." I followed the sound of the voice in to a tree, and saw Charlie perched on one of its branches.
"Charlie! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Sorry." She grinned at me from her perch and I couldn't help smiling back, although my heart was still pounding in my chest.
"Should you really be up there? You might hurt yourself."
"No I won't. I'm like a monkey." She winked at me. I smiled.
"Yes, I know." She looked confused. "You never shut up in class." A grin pulled her lips up again and she beckoned to me.
"Climb up."
"Oh no. I'm terrified of heights."
"Come on, it's not that high."
"No seriously Charlie. I can barely go on escalators. I'm that scared."
"Alright, I'll come to you." She hoisted herself on to the branch and began to walk along it. My heart was in my mouth. Please God don't let her fall. Please. She looked at me, crouched down, and then dropped off the branch. I screamed, imagining Charlie plummeting to the floor, but when I looked through my fingers I saw her swinging from the branch, both hands clasped firmly around it. She grinned then dropped gracefully to the floor. I pushed her away as she came towards me grinning and tried to steady my heart.
"What the hell did you do that for? I thought... I thought you were falling."
"I told you I'm like a monkey. I'm sorry for scaring you Summer." She looked sincerely sorry as she moved towards me again.
"It's alright." I put my hand on my heart and felt it steadying. Charlie took my hand from my chest and touched my wrist. My skin tingled.
"Wow, I really did scare you didn't I?"
"Not many things make me scream." She grinned, biting her lip. "What? What are you grinning about?"
"I was wondering... never mind."
"Charlie, tell me. Tell me or else I'll give you a D in your next essay, no matter how good it is." She laughed.
"I'll tell you if... if you let me read your story." I considered.
"Alright, you can read it. Now tell me."
"Oh no. I have to read it first." I groaned and shook my head, smiling.
"Alright. When are you next free in school?"
"I'm free now." I sighed, the smile dropping from my face.
"I can't invite you to my house Charlie."
"Why not?"
"Because you're my student."
"Yes? And outside of school I'm your jogging partner. So imagine, we've just been jogging and I cut myself on some glass near your house. Would you make me wait outside your house while you got a plaster?"
"I... This is different."
"Come on, what's the worst that can happen?" I bit my lip. I suppose teachers were allowed students in their house if they knew them outside of school. What harm could it do? There was a niggling doubt in the back of my mind but I brushed it away.
"Fine. But only while you read the story. And this is the last time. Barring any glass related incidents." She grinned and waited for me to lead the way.

text: SALT LAKE CITY, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) today joined a broad-based, cross section of industry associations in calling for immediate patent litigation reforms to halt the national scourge of "patent troll" lawsuits. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120110/LA33954LOGO) "Annually these suits, masquerading as legitimate patent infringement cases, siphon billions into the pockets of clever shell companies set up to assert frivolous lawsuits in the hopes that targeted companies will pay off the trolls rather than pay the costs to fight," said Jonathan Johnson, executive vice chairman and former general counsel of Overstock.com. "These lawyer-driven troll entities do not contribute to the economy and have too long exploited the legal system. It is time for change," Johnson said. Yesterday, 50 trade associations, representing thousands of companies throughout the United States, sent a letter to the Congressional leadership of both houses, calling for reform. The letter noted that over $29 billion are lost annually to patent troll suits. The letter also stated that President Obama has now joined the fight, urging a legislative fix. In recent months, members of both political parties have sponsored measures aimed at curbing these suits. "We have long been a public voice in support of patent troll suit reform," said Patrick Byrne, chairman and CEO of Overstock.com. "We've earned a well-deserved reputation of fighting these spurious actions from patent troll squeegee boys. We'll fight through to jury verdicts that find non-infringement and invalidate patents rather than pay off these bullies." In a recent case upheld on appeal, Overstock.com, and likeminded e-tailer NewEgg, litigated and won a verdict against French-based Alcatel-Lucent over three patents Alcatel wrongly asserted against the two companies. The jury verdict found no infringement and invalidated a key communications patent Alcatel-Lucent had successfully asserted against many internet companies, routinely extracting settlements where the costs of a legal defense seemed too steep for these companies to bear.

DC: I don't own it
Summary: AU. Crowned prince Edward finds himself in a small town with no memory of who he is or where he came from. He finds Bella, a sweet half vampire girl and she brings him into her home. But as his memories slowly start to return he has to ultimately choose between the life he was born for, and the one he desires.
The vampires in this story are like the ones in Vampire Heart. They are born not created. They have control over their thirst for human blood for the most part.
Chapter 1,
Edward sighed yet again and got the attention of his servants. They perked up, ready for any instruction he may give. He dismissed them with a lazy wave of his hand and went back to looking out the window. It was a beautiful sunny day and his skin was glittering dully. He ran a hand through his perfect bronze hair and stretched. Not that he needed to but it was habit. He stood and leaned on the sill. He saw children playing in the street, their skins like diamonds. Their parents were watching nearby and when they strayed too far their father would go out and usher them back.
He heard a soft knock on the door and turned slightly. The shy servant girl bowed and brought a glass of blood to him.
"Excuse me, sir, but will you be requiring anything else?" she asked in a small and quiet tone.
"No," Edward said after he took a sip.
She nodded and left quickly. Well as quickly as a human could leave without falling over herself. Edward sipped the blood and watched the view from his window.
"Edward are you sulking again?"
Edward looked over and saw his uncle, Aro, walking in.
"I wasn't sulking, I was pondering whilst in an unhappy mood."
"Well whatever you're doing could you wrap it up? Your attire for your coronation has arrived."
"Joy of joys the world may continue to spin," Edward sighed as he set his glass on a polished wooden table.
"You can cut the attitude," Aro scolded, "just be grateful that I am here to help you."
Edward rolled his eyes. He had heard that line far too many times. His uncle believed that it was only out of the goodness of his own heart that the throne was being kept safe for his nephew. Edward believed otherwise. He knew that his uncle enjoyed ruling in his brother's place and wasn't anxious in the least about his nephew's coronation.
"Now stop being so stubborn and come with me. Everything has to go perfectly. A perfect coronation means a long and healthy rule."
"Not really," Edward sighed.
"Not really? Well then was it simple a coincidence that my dear brother had several mishaps in his coronation and his rule failed?"
"He didn't fail," Edward defended, "dying and failing isn't the same thing."
Aro sniffed and muttered his disagreement but Edward chose to ignore him. He was quite defensive of his father. He paused as they passed through the hall of portraits. He looked at the painting of his parents. Edward the seventh and Elizabeth. He touched the painted skirt as if he would be able to feel the soft fabric. That's what he missed most about his mother. He missed her tenderness. He remembered sitting in her lap as they read a story and she stroked his hair and forehead.
Childbirth took both the queen and her unborn prince. Edward remembered the pain and devastation in his father's eyes when it happened. He was nine at the time and didn't know much about life and death. His father had carried on of course. After a year he didn't cry as much anymore though he still longed for his wife. He had become much more protective of his living son. Edward noticed that he was often accompanied by a guard wherever he went and constantly protected.
He had been so distracted with his own life at the age of thirteen that he didn't notice the change in his father. It was small things at first. The king would retire to his bedroom and sleep for a few hours and he drank less blood. Before Edward knew it his dear father didn't rise in the morning. He slept constantly as if he were and old man instead of a young king. Edward remembered sitting in bed with his father, begging him to get better. He held the big hand in his smaller ones and begged over and over again. His father's hands were as warm as a human's. His pupils were ringed with white, the final stage of one of the few infections strong enough to kill a healthy adult vampire. After the death of the king, his brother, Aro, took the throne. Edward was left in his care with the promise that when he was of age he would become king.
"Edward please don't dally around!"
Edward looked away from the portrait and nodded. He followed silently.
The sun was peeking through the curtains and hitting Bella square in the eye. She moaned and turned over, pulling her blankets up over her head. She knew that any minute her dad would wake her up for breakfast. The thought had barely crossed her mind before she heard his gentle voice floating up the stairs.
"Wake up sleeping beauty."
Bella clutched her stuffed panda tighter to her chest and moaned. She felt a cool hand on her forehead and she turned. She saw a pair of pale red eyes and a gentle smile under blonde hair.
"Wake up sleepy head."
Bella smiled weakly. "I don't wanna."
His gentle cool hand brushed over her hair and then pulled the blankets off.
"Da-ad! I'm not wearing any pants!" Bella cried sitting up sharply.
"Oh relax I used to have to bathe you," her dad laughed. "Now I'm going to make you some breakfast and you will be down to eat it in a few minutes."
Bella sighed and nodded. After her father left she stood and stretched. She pulled on her sweats and put on a clean shirt. She padded down the stairs and smiled when a calico cat rubbed up against her leg. She smiled and bent down to pick her up.
"Cali has come to visit," she said.
"I smelled her earlier," her dad said from the kitchen.
"I think daddy has a treat for you," Bella cooed into the cat's soft fur. She walked into the kitchen. She smiled at her dad as he cooked her eggs for breakfast. She didn't know very many vampires that could cook. There was a bowl of cat food waiting on the counter. Bella walked over and set Cali down. The cat purred and nuzzled against her dad's leg to show her thanks. Bella smiled when he reached down and gathered the cat up for a nice scratch.
In Bella's opinion there was no better vampire than Carlisle. He nuzzled the cat affectionately and she purred and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Cali wasn't officially theirs. She was a stray that they had found and nursed back to health. She preferred life on the outside but she was a frequent visitor. She knew that every time she came by she would get a snack of sorts from them.
"Do you want some breakfast too?" Carlisle asked with a smile as he scratched the cat's head. Cali meowed and purred. Carlisle set her down and she went to enjoy her meal. Bella hopped up and sat on the counter top while Carlisle cooked. "You know I don't like it when you do that."
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine," Bella said with a shrug.
"Remember when you were nine and you fell off? Do you remember how loudly you cried?"
Bella scowled at him, earning a laugh. She hopped down anyway and Carlisle handed her the plate of eggs. She set it on the table and grabbed a glass of milk. Carlisle sat down with a bowl of blood and they began breakfast.
Their routine was simple. Bella would wake up and eat breakfast. On weekdays she would go to school and on the weekends she would stay around and help with whatever Carlisle needed. On that Saturday after breakfast they went into the yard. Cali followed and stretched out on the patio in the sunlight. Bella sat with her and gave her a scratch. Carlisle knelt by his garden and tended to the flowers.
"They're pretty this year," Bella said.
"Yes, we've gotten just the right amount of rain," Carlisle said with a smile. He pulled weeds from the flowers and made sure they were secure in the ground. Bella smiled when he shifted to a special patch in the middle of his garden. It was a circle of lilies that he kept just for her.
"You plant those every year," Bella giggled.
"Because they are special every year," Carlisle said with a smile, "but you know why I plant them."
"Because they're my favorite."
Carlisle nodded and went back to working on them. Bella knew the flowers had a different meaning. It was ten years ago when Carlisle had come out when he heard crying over the rain. He had gone into the garden to find Bella there. She was curled up wearing grimy clothing. She was hugging her knees and crying. Carlisle had picked her up and saw the blood on her face and bruises on her body. He carried her inside and wrapped her in a warm blanket.
"Sometimes I wonder why you chose me," Carlisle said as he brushed dirt off of his hands. "Of all the houses in the town you chose mine. A vampire. I don't know why you felt you would be safer with me."
"Because you're different," Bella said with a warm and gentle smile, "dad you're not like those other vampires."
"No I am," Carlisle said sitting on the warm cement with her. His skin sparkled in the sunlight. "I just chose differently. Just like Esme down the street."
Bella laid back and looked up at the crystal blue sky.
"How long will the fighting keep going?" she asked.
"I don't know," Carlisle said honestly.
Bella never knew a time of complete peace. There was always war between the humans and the vampires. With their superior natural strength the vampires believed that conquering the humans would be no problem. However advanced technology helped the humans hold their own and the two sides had been in a constant stalemate.
"Why did you leave the city dad?" Bella asked.
"That was so long ago," Carlisle sighed closing his eyes and taking in the warmth of the sunlight. "I got so sick of all the politics that came with living in the city. I was expected to hate people I never met. I was just barely older than you when I found this place. It's a paradise."
Bella nodded in agreement. They lived in a small town of about five hundred people. It was a place where humans and vampires lived in peace. Most of them, like Carlisle, appeared seeking a refuge from the war and the politics. Fights broke out from time to time in the form of bar scuffles.
"What's on your mind Bells?" Carlisle asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that frown you've got," he laughed.
"Thinking," Bella said into her knees.
"What about?"
"Life I guess," she sighed. She stood and stretched. "It's just unusual for me, that's all."
Carlisle stood and patted her head. "Tell you what, why don't you go into town and get Cali a treat. I'm sure she'd like to go with you."
Bella nodded and knelt down. The cat came up and purred. Bella lifted her up and walked out of the yard with the cat on her shoulder.
Edward got out of the car to stretch. He hated countryside tours, especially when he was all alone. It was just him and his security guard.
"Don't go to far!"
Edward rolled his eyes and strolled off of the road into the woods. He liked the trees and the way the wind felt on his skin. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up. The birds above him flew away. The coronation gown fit and the crown fit too. Everything was going to be perfectly fit to Aro's vision.
"Are you excited about the coronation?" his body guard, Alec, asked.
"I suppose," Edward sighed, "I mean why wouldn't I be excited about parading around like Aro's trained puppy."
"But surely you want to be king?"
Edward looked up at the sky again. Did he want to be king? Of course he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and take hold of the kingdom. He wanted to change things for the better and to end the silly war with the humans. But being king meant he would have to take a queen, and his current choice wasn't exactly ideal.
"I suppose," he said finally.
"I hear your uncle wants to build another Warehouse here," Alec said.
"When did he say that?" Edward asked looking back. "I didn't know of any construction plans outside of a new fort."
"Well we don't want those half breeds getting out of control," Alec laughed.
"Indeed," Edward sighed. He wanted to end the conversation. Talking about the Warehouses was like talking about old ladies having sex. Nobody wanted to hear about it or picture it. It was one of those things that just happened. He very rarely wanted to admit that his uncle had a part of the development of such places.
"Your uncle worries about when you will be king," Alec commented.
Edward glanced back slightly annoyed. "Whatever my uncle thinks about me and my becoming king is none of your concern, Alec so I think it's best that you keep your thoughts to yourself."
"See you need to start worrying about my thoughts," Alec said with a grin. Edward turned and he was struck hard over the head.
Bella stretched out and laid back in the soft grass of her favorite meadow. Cali had left to do her own things by then. She curled up on her side and sighed. The smell of the meadow was always comforting to her. The grass was long and it brushed against her skin in the wind. She could smell the fresh wild flowers that dotted the wild grass. Nearby a stream bubbled and Bella wondered when she and her father would go exploring it again. It was their monthly ritual when the warm weather hit and she was excited to go again.
Bella could picture it. They would start at the edge of the woods and explore the stream, looking at the creatures that lived there and looking for anything that suited them. Then they would go into the woods and explore the trees and the earth. Maybe this year she would ask Esme to join them.
Her thoughts were broken when she heard stumbling footsteps. She sat up and saw someone coming out of the woods. It was a boy by the look of him and he looked hurt. Bella jumped to her feet and ran to him.
"Oh my god are you okay?" she asked. He stumbled again and she put her hands on his shoulder to stable him.
"Where am I?" he asked as he put a hand to his head. He pulled it away and saw pale pink blood on his hands. "I'm bleeding?"
"Yes, quite a bit actually," Bella said digging into her pocket for a tissue. It wasn't much but she could at least clean the blood from his eye. He had a massive gash on his forehead that she knew should get medical attention. "What's you name?"
"My name?" he asked. "Oh...right...Ed-Edward."
"I'm Bella," she said. "What brings you all the way out here?"
"I'm not quite sure," Edward said putting his hand on the back of his neck and pulling it back with more blood. He took a step and stumbled right into the stream. Bella jumped and rushed into the shallow water to help him.
"You're disoriented, even for a vampire," she said as she helped him stand, "come on, I'll take you to my dad. I just wish I had something to tie your wounds off with for the time being."
"You can use this," he said tugging lightly on his shirt, "it's pretty much ruined anyway...somehow."
Bella nodded and he shrugged out of what was one probably a nice button up shirt. She tore strips from it and wrapped it around his head, neck and upper arm. Then she pulled his good arm over her shoulders and helped him walk.
"So what is this place?" Edward asked as they made their way towards town.
"Rosebud," she said, "I know it's a cheesy name but it's home. It's more or less a sanctuary for refugees from the war."
"War? What war?"
"Have you been living under a rock or something? It's an ongoing war between the vampires and the humans. Anyway there are some people who object to the war, like my dad, and have moved out here. Some have no choice. Then there's me."
"What about you?" Edward asked.
"This is the only place I could feel safe. Being what I am...I don't belong to either side."
Edward looked at her. Now that he thought about it her skin was warmer than his and her eyes were deep brown. But she was strong enough to practically carry him, and fast too.
"You are both."
Bella nodded and they finished the walk in silence.
"So I send you to get a treat for Cali and you come home with a vampire?" Carlisle said with an amused grin.
"I was going to go nap in the meadow but he stumbled in on me. Can you treat him?"
Carlisle nodded and led Edward into the kitchen. He sat him down and grabbed a first aid kit. "If you were Bells I'd have to stitch you up, but I think these will heal fine. I'm going to clean them though."
Edward nodded and Carlisle pulled out a bottle of medicine. Bella didn't know what it was because he never used it on her, but rather on his vampire patients. She knew it was some kind of rubbing alcohol that burned her skin. Edward didn't seem phased by it. Carlisle took care in cleaning his wounds and Bella saw that they were already healing.
"You have a very deep wound here," he said pointing to a part of his own head to demonstrate. "Which may have caused some mental damage. Do you know who you are?"
"Edward...just Edward."
"Do you know where you're from?" Carlisle asked.
"No...I can't remember...anything."
"Amnesia," Carlisle diagnosed as he continued to examine Edward's head, "hopefully it's temporary."
"Hopefully," Edward agreed quietly.
Carlisle looked him over again. He paused and studied the younger man's face. His eyes were dark red and deep. He looked confused and disoriented. But there was something familiar about him. About the shape of his nose and lips. His bronze hair was matted with blood and had leaves in it. His chest had some scratches but that was about it. He must have been through quite an ordeal to have damaged so much of his vampire skin.
The doorbell rang and Bella went to answer it.
"Oh, hey Esme," Bella said happily.
"Hi Bella, is Carlisle available?"
"He's with a patient," Bella said looking back, "do you need something?"
"Oh, I just made some crimson cake and I wanted to give you both some," Esme said with a smile, "Goodness knows you two need a treat every once in a while."
Bella laughed and nodded. "You take such good care of us Esme."
Esme smiled. Bella was always in awe over her beauty. Long wavy caramel hair and a soft heart shaped face with a bright and warm smile. How she was still single Bella would never know. She was sure that any sane man would sweep her away at the first chance.
"Your hair is getting long again," Esme said tucking some behind her ear, "are you going to cut it again or let it grow out?"
"I haven't decided," Bella said looking at her hair. "I have split ends."
"Ah who has time to keep those away?" Esme asked with a soft laugh. "I could cut them for you if you'd like."
"That would be great!" Bella cried happily.
"Do you have time this afternoon?" Esme asked.
"Absolutely. Do you have time now?"
Esme nodded and came in at Bella's invite. She went into the bathroom with Bella and sat on the toilet while Bella got the scissors and a spray bottle. She sat on the rug and Esme ran her fingertips trough her hair, testing for tangles.
Bella looked up as Esme was spraying her hair with water. Edward looked at her nervously.
"Hey! Come on in, have a seat!"
Edward came in and sat on the rim of the tub.
"Esme this is Edward," Bella said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Esme said with her usual smile. "Are you new around here?"
"Um...yeah...listen Bella, I wanted to thank you for helping me."
"It's no problem," Bella assured him, "so how do you feel?"
"Better. Your dad said I can stay here. You both have been so nice."
"Well looks like it's a party," Carlisle said joyfully. "Ah, Esme, I didn't expect you."
"Yes well I figured that why I'm here I should trim Bella's hair."
"Yes she does need it."
"Aw thanks a ton dad," Bella moaned.
"Don't worry I think you're pretty," Carlisle said with a playful smile. "Anyway Jodie down the way wants me to take a look at her daughter. Will you be okay alone?"
"I'm seventeen, dad, more than old enough to care for myself."
Carlisle raised his eyebrows then looked at Edward. "Please keep her out of trouble."
"Sure," Edward mumbled. Bella looked offended and Esme giggled.
"I brought you some cake Carlisle, I put it in the dining room."
"Ah Esme you are too good to us," Carlisle sighed happily, "your cake is a dream! If only I could make blood into solid delicious foods."
"It's nothing really," Esme said as she snipped some of Bella's hair, "I'll have to teach you someday."
Carlisle nodded. "I'll see that you do. But for now I must leave."
"Alright, bye Carlisle."
"Bye dad!"
Carlisle waved and left. Bella sighed and looked at Edward.
"One day he'll have to stop treating me like a baby."
"Oh I'm sure he will," Esme said as she trimmed more hair, "he cares about you very much."
"He cares about you too," Bella told her.
"He is a dear friend," Esme said quickly, closing the subject abruptly.
"She was friendly," Edward said as they walked down the street.
"Oh Esme? Yeah, she's a sweetheart," Bella agreed, "I've known her since I came here."
"Did you and your father move here?" Edward asked.
"I don't remember coming here," Bella said looking up at the clear golden sky. "I just ran towards what felt safe. That was Carlisle. He nursed me back to health and let me stay with him. He has never really adopted me, but I started to call him dad after a while. After I learned to speak properly."
"What happened to your real parents?" Edward asked quietly.
Bella was silent for a moment. She could only guess where her real parents were. She had never met her father but she could only assume that he was living in the city with the other vampires. As for her mother...she remembered her.
"I don't care," she mumbled. "Carlisle is my dad now and that's all I care about."
"He's a good man. I can't thank you both enough for helping me."
Bella smiled at him. "That's how dad is," she said happily, "he's kind, warm and always wanting to help. Well...not literally warm but you know what I mean."
Edward laughed and nodded. "So you're not a human or a vampire."
"No I'm both. Mom was human and dad was a vamp."
"They both live together in this town," Edward said as they got to the store. A bell chimed as they walked in.
"Hey there Bells," a vampire said from behind the counter.
"Hey there Greg!" Bella said back.
"So who is your friend?"
"This is Edward, he's going to stay with us for a while."
Edward looked nervously around the store. He saw a vampire looking at a cooler of blood and across the way he saw a human looking at the price of produce. A human child was tugging on the hand of a vampire child, trying to drag them away from the blood candies.
"That's what I love the most about this place," Bella said, noticing where he was looking. "Nobody cares what you are."
"Should they?" Edward asked as he followed her down an aisle with lots of bread and tortillas. Bella didn't answer him and pretended to be distracted by the products on the shelves. Edward found the answer in her silence. Whatever the war was about, it meant that the two species were separated and they very much cared about what each person was.
"Here, in this small town, it's like a separate world," Bella said picking up a loaf of bread. "We don't get very much news from the cities. We're closer to the human city so if we get news its from there. That's how we'll know when there is peace again."
Edward walked with her through the aisles and helped her carry the groceries. He had only been in the town for less than a day, but already he loved the quiet feel and the peace. He offered to carry Bella's groceries after they paid and she agreed to let him carry half. By then the sun had fallen, leaving the sky above a beautiful velvet purple with a rich array of stars.
"So beautiful," Edward murmured as he looked up.
"Tomorrow night is supposed to be clear too. Dad and I were planning on going stargazing, do you want to come with us?"
"I'd love to!"
"Hey you two, just getting back from the market?" Carlisle asked as he turned onto the block.
"Mmhm, and we picked up that science magazine you love so much," Bella said reaching into her bag to hand it to him.
"Ah! Wonderful! That saves me a trip! Thank you sweetheart."
Edward watched as Carlisle beamed at his daughter and gave her shoulders and affectionate squeeze. He began to wonder if he had a father like that. Thinking about that made him feel a bit sad, but he wasn't going to let them know something was wrong. So he put on a smile and laughed along with them until he was alone for the night.
I don't know how this story is going to work out but I am optimistic. The story is kinda complicated, especially later on when it gets more into the war.

When We Were Okay
I used to be close to my family members, back in the day I used to see them quite a lot
I remember snowy Pennsylvania rock landscapes and wonderful Ohio summers so hot
I remember walking through lush gardens and running through sprinklers for fun
I remember family meals and snacks so bountiful you could never eat and be done.
I remember tractor rides and playing in the woods and fields without any worries
I remember chasing falling red leaves as they fell to the black pavement in no hurry
I remember Christmas morning brunch and presents that you played with all day
I remember leaving and being sad because all you really wanted to do was stay.
I remember watching a fountain with colored water as the sun sank into Lake Erie
I remember riding with my grandfather and a thermos of coffee, it makes me teary
I remember watching The Flintstones and eating popcorn with my grandmother at night
I remember searching for insects with my dad, we searched everywhere in sight.
But times change, after strokes, Alzheimer's, cancer and the inevitable mental decline
Things aren't so nice, now, times has worn badly on all of us, things aren't so fine
See we moved over 1000 miles away, to a place where I was forced to live and stay
A place where no one knew my face or my name, a place I still do not love to this day.
I am alone, my parents still live here, but things aren't the same, we all live in a house
A house, not a home, love is missing, religion is dominant is this sad sacred house
And as I sit and drink and write this, I wonder how things got so bad, it's a shame
My parents followed God, we obeyed and we paid dearly for playing his little game.
I used to be close to my family members, back in the day when we all were alright,
Could we go back to those days, even if it's just for one more night?

The Highland Building is a 13-story building in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Construction on the a building was completed in 1909, with Daniel Burnham being the principal designer.[2][3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
Henry Clay Frick originally commissioned the building.[2] Following the Chicago school of architecture, the building features a granite base and terracotta exterior.[2] Beginning around the 1960s, however, the building gradually fell into disrepair coinciding with the decline of East Liberty. Classical ornament on the roof was replaced with substandard material and water entered the basement. Over time, the interior would essentially become destroyed.[2]
Prior to 2012, the Highland Building experienced twenty years of complete dormancy. With assistance from the state of Pennsylvania and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh, construction began in 2012 to restore the exterior and reconstruct the interior of the Highland Building, join it with the adjacent three-story Wallace Building, and convert the entire complex into 127 apartments. The project, now completed, is described as, "Walnut on Highland" and is mostly leased. Recently, the last of the retail space in the Wallace Building was filled by a Mexican Restaurant.[4][5]

Happy Halloween everyone! Are you ready to trick or treat? It's been a crazy week. Why? One because I was working on THIS project (it's photography themed, but it is definitely Halloween themed, your kids will like it, or it may scar them for life-so check it out!), and Two because I was making these costumes for my boys (tutorial from Smashed Peas and Carrots). Mario and Luigi Halloween Costumes Yes I know the Mario hat is huge and floppy, I wanted to fix it, but he loves it like that! They haven't wanted to take these off. They are jumping on and off everything saying "Italian" words like "mama mia" and "pizza!" I know these will be around long after Halloween getting lots of use. I also made this one for my little guy to fit in. I used the same hat style and then just ... [Read More]

Robot Lawn Mowers Review
Why Buy a Robotic Lawn Mower?
Once a border wire is set up around your yard's perimeter, a robot lawn mower cuts the grass without any assistance from you. For homes or businesses with more than one lawn area to maintain, this chore is still possible with robotic mowers like the LawnBott LB75DX, RoboMow RS630 and LawnBott LB300EL, which utilize their multizone lawn mowing capability to keep any grass on the property properly trimmed.
Unlike traditional lawn mowers, mowing a lawn in the hot sun is not an issue for robotic lawn mowers, and rainy days are taken care of as well. With rain sensors included in most, the units will return to the charging dock to safely wait for humidity levels to drop before they return to their routine. With the right features and options, a robotic mower is a sensible option for small and large lawn upkeep.
Robotic Lawn Mowers: What to Look For
There are many options to consider when it comes to robotic lawn mowers, including how many zones it can mow, how much area it can cover and whether it's programmable to be put on a schedule. If your lawn is quite large and has hills or large slopes, things like slope capability and running time should also be on your list of considerations. The information below will further educate you on some of the most important factors that you'll need to know before making a purchasing decision.
Multizone Capability
Not all automatic lawn mowers will travel to separate areas in order to cut the grass, so for that, you will need one with multizone capability. The most common reason for needing this feature is a home or business with a small front lawn area and larger back lawn that are not directly connected. In this scenario, each lawn is considered one zone. Most multizone robot mowers cover two to four zones.
The ability to program the mower is a key feature to look for if you want to schedule it to run on a particular day and time. If it is programmable, consider how you program it and what you want to program it to do. Some units are directly programmed at the robot mower base, but others may include the ability to remotely access it via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or even your smartphone.
What type of power the robotic lawn mower needs to operate is one of the most crucial factors. This will allow you to determine where the mower needs to be stored and give you an idea on how much it will cost to use. How long it holds a charge is also an important factor. As for how it is powered, your options are solar, battery (replacing every few years depending on usage) or charging it through an electrical source.
With options like programmable scheduling and the ability to remotely access them from smartphones, robotic lawn mowers give anyone with a lawn a way to automate the lawn mowing task and save their time for more important matters.
