Chapter 17Mature
Why is this fucking elevator going so fucking slow? With my luck Alex will not have a scratch on him, brush himself off, and grace me with a smug, sarcastic ass smile as soon as these doors open. Gah! I hate my life! Why can't I go back to my old life, yeah it was shitty, and barely got by, but I understood that life, and understood myself. Now I'm all over the place, and losing all sense of everything including myself.
As soon as the doors opened I sighed in relief, no one from the 'Save the Charlemagne Crusaders' here, good for once I can be alone with myself and my thoughts without having to worry about if I'm standing on my own two feet right, and my head screwed on tight.
As I was walking through the lobby, I had tunnel vision, this time I didn't care about the beautiful people, their surroundings and their fucking perfect existence, I've had it with people like them who can just snap their fingers and get what they want whenever they want, and don't give a second glance to the people like me who work their asses off just to keep a roof over their head, and food on the table.
I finally made it to the door, and like clockwork the doorman tipped his hat, held the door, and without blinking, "Have a good evening Miss Ramsay." I stopped, took a deep breath and turned to him.
"I'm sorry?"
He genuinely smiled, "Have a good evening Miss Ramsay, keep warm, it's going to be a very cold one tonight."
I didn't say anything but smile back, and went on my way.
As I was walking, I was trying to ponder what to do next with my life. I had no home, no education, no job, and no future. Unless I considered being married to a 7,000 year old Varation Vampire Royalty nutcase, who's mission in life was to make my life more difficult then it already was, then yea ok I had a bright fucking future. The one thing I can't pin point was the fact that Maverick, and Armada have been in on this weird, twisted fantasy along with Alex, and kept this from me for, shit I don't even know how long, man I'm so confused, why me?
I was thinking of all that was going wrong in my life when I made it to central park. Damn, how long have I been walking? That doorman was right, it is a fucking cold one, ugh! Why can't for once in my life something go right, and me genuinely be happy. I saw in the distance the infamous skating rink, I closed my eyes I can hear the laughter, of everyone enjoying just being themselves, being with the people they care about most without a care in the world, they were all just happy. I smiled, just enjoying their happiness, just for one moment, I was there, I was them.
"God. I remember when you used to be that happy." Maverick said in a whisper.
I slowly opened my eyes, turned to him, with silent tears streaming down my face. "Really? Because I don't." I looked back to the rink, "Happiness is a luxury, I didn't have time to be happy."
He walked up and stood beside me also taking in the sight, "Believe it or not, you were, you allowed it to flow in, and you had so much happiness in you that it was contagious and you made everyone around you so happy and loved."
I smiled, and shrugged, "I was living in a fantasy, thinking I could just live on hopes, and dreams."
Maverick turned to me and slowly put his hand under my chin to meet his soft but inquiring gaze, "What happened to that girl?"
More tears streaming down my face, "I opened my Varation eyes and saw the world I was truly living in, and it wasn't as beautiful as I painted it in my fantasy, and reality settled in, hitting hard, and fast, and I couldn't pull the breaks."
Maverick took a deep breath, "I need to show you something."
He took his hand from my chin and held it out for me to take.
I looked at him reluctantly, "Is this some sort of trick? Did Alex send you? Why can't he let me have a moments peace?"
Maverick still holding his hand to me, "This is all me Sweetheart, I found you, although Alex was about to have a search team out here looking for you, I convinced him otherwise. He's been worried sick about you."
I got a disgusted look on my face, "Really? I haven't even been gone that long, he's not my keeper! Why won't he let me be!"
Maverick put his hand down and stepped closer to me, "Charlemagne how long do you think you've been gone?"
I shrugged, "I don't fucking know a couple of hours, at most."
Maverick gave me a strange look like I was demented, "Charlemagne you've been gone for twelve hours. Have you been outside this whole time?"
Wow talk about losing track of time, "Yeah, what's the big deal? I love the cold, if I could live outside, which I probably will be considering both of my homes are gone, I would."
Maverick took a deep breath and held his hand out again, "Come on I need to show you something."
Ah what the hell, what's the worst he can do to me, serve me up on a silver platter to Alex, so he can get a medal of honor for returning a deranged Varation Royalty to his side. "Fine, but what's all this about?"
We started walking towards the rink hand in hand, "I want to show that you were happy at one time in your life."
"Ha! I doubt it I was probably just faking it for the sake of Armada."
Just as we were walking I noticed three people skating on the rink, Armada, Maverick, and me. I remember this like it was yesterday the snow was falling slowly and the snow was so thick it was like being in an enchanted snow globe. We were all laughing and goofing around.
"Come on you two, act like you're in love so I can get that magic shot for my photography final."
"Eww Charlemagne he's your boyfriend! Why don't you two skate while I take the shot, you two are more convincing."
Just then Maverick skated to my side, grabbed my hand and pulled me with him. "Yea Charlemagne let's show her." And we were skating together.
I couldn't contain my laughter, I was infuriated with them, but I didn't show it, I just loved life.
While we were skating Armada pretended to be a serious photographer and take pretend shots giggling.
When Maverick and I were done acting foolishly in love, I had Armada and Maverick get back to work as my unpaid models, for my grand photographic masterpiece of a romantic couple in Central Park.
As I was in the zone just about to finish I heard a voice from behind me. "You look like you're having fun."
I turned to him, and once I got a glimpse of him I was finished. He was breathtaking, Obscured black hair, maroon scarf knotted to perfection, a black pea coat that was obviously custom to fit only him, but those eyes, that was the nail on the coffin. Any other time I would be cautious about who approached me, but not him I felt safe, and genuinely happy.
"School project, if I want to do this as a profession got to be willing to be in extreme weather for long periods of time."
He smiled, "And love what you do."
I smiled shyly back, "It's the first thing I think about when I open my eyes, what to capture next to share with the world."
"Then you're a photographer."
"Um, since my models are taking a break." I held up my camera up a little, "This may sound weird but may I take your picture? I promise it's just for my portfolio, I won't sell it or anything."
He started chuckling, and stepped back a little and held his arms out, "By all means, who am I to get in the way of an artist and her muse."
We started to skate, and he posed effortlessly, I didn't even need to direct him he was in his element, and I was in mine. It seemed like we were skating for hours when he finally asked, "Since your other models got a break do I get one as well?"
I dropped my camera right away, "Oh my god, I'm sorry. Did I take to many pictures? Am I keeping you away from your family? Tell them I'm terribly sorry, here give me your address and I can send you some of the photos I took it's the least I can do for taking up so much of your time, and you so graciously helping me." I was rambling so much I didn't notice he skated up to me and put a finger to my lips.
He smiled slowly at me, "I wanted us to take a break together, to enjoy this beautiful winter wonderland, so you can see it for what it really is and not just through a lens, you need to live the experience, not just behind a glass wall, live for the moment, because this." He gestures his hand around, "is worth living for." He then took my hand and skated with me across the rink, I remember just being happy, and for once in my life I didn't want this to end, ever.
Just then Maverick started talking again, next to me, "I knew right then that you were his. I knew exactly who he was, Alexander Dante the true mate to Charlemagne Ramsay. He wasn't supposed to meet you for two years at that point, but he couldn't stay away, he had to see you, even if it was just a glimpse. He took a huge risk making his presence known to you, but he just loved you. If he would've gotten caught with what he did, there would've been a penalty of ten years before he could see you again."
I turned to him infuriated, "What happened at the end of that night? Why don't I remember him? Where are those pictures I took of him?"
Maverick looked back to the rink, "Since Armada is your sister, and a powerful Varation witch she put a barrier to that day, and only had you remember what she wanted you to remember, just in case Varation officials came to ask questions."
I closed my eyes again and wished I was that happy girl again, life was so much simpler, and I knew what I wanted out of life. "Alexander, has always loved you, and for the past two years, he has been near to protect you, that was a huge risk. He was the one who hired you at the two jobs, when he found out where you lived, he bought the building just to keep you safe. Believe it or not all of the occupants are Varation Protectors, only summoned to protect Royalty, and there was one always stationed outside your door when you were home. Your college, and Armada's was already paid for, the money you've been sending to the school, has been going to a special account set up for you to do with as you wish. Your panic attacks that you got subsided because he knew when you were having them, he got as close as he could and tried to just be there for you the closer he was the more you were able to control your attacks. He never wanted you to suffer, ever. He took on the role of true mate very seriously, but then when he could finally make his presence known, life wasn't good to you and you got worn down, and closed your eyes from the real world, because you had enough. So I'm showing you this because I know that girl is still there she just needs to be fearless, and to stop running from what she truly wants out of life, because that," he points to Alex and I skating together, truly loving each other, "Is the true Charlemagne Ramsay."

John Darwin, the canoeist who became famous after faking his own death, has been released from jail and is living a few miles from his former home.
Days after he was released from Moorland open prison, his former neighbours were amazed to see the notorious fraudster strolling along the same beach where he had staged his death.
"He's been up and down the beach already, walking a dog. It was early morning. He must be staying nearby," said the owner of the Ocean View guest house in Seaton Carew.
Darwin vanished in March 2002 after paddling out to sea in his home-made canoe. His wife, Anne, a former doctor's receptionist, played the grieving widow – but it later transpired that the pair had concocted the elaborate hoax to claim £250,000 in insurance and pension funds.
It was not until Darwin returned to Britain five years later claiming amnesia and a photograph of the happy couple living in Panama emerged that the fraud began to unravel and they were jailed.
The 60-year-old walked free from the prison in South Yorkshire this week after serving less than half his sentence and was believed to be staying in Easington, County Durham, 13 miles from Seaton Carew, where he disappeared in 2002. "He is living with a family friend," a source said. "Where he is staying has been pre-arranged."
Darwin's aunt, Margaret Burns, said yesterday: "I hope he's not staying with a friend. He had only one as far as I knew and that poor soul had to tell people he'd died after being washed out to sea. He should keep himself to himself and not ruin any other people's lives."
Speaking from her retirement bungalow in Blackhall Colliery, she added: "Everybody's been asking me what I expect to say to John when I see him walk up my drive – but I have not heard from him nor seen him for 40 years so I don't expect that day to come any time soon. I'd probably tell him he's missed some good jokes at his expense while he's been away."
The former prison officer was sentenced to six years and three months in prison in July 2008, after admitting seven charges of obtaining money by deception and a passport offence. His wife, who is due to be released in two months, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years after being convicted of 15 counts of fraud.
The couple, who had a property portfolio of 12 homes but were struggling to make mortgage repayments, hatched the plan to fake his death and deceive not only the police, a coroner and financial institutions, but even their sons Mark and Anthony.
At one point Darwin lived secretly in a bedsit next to the family home, using the assumed identity of John Jones he had taken from a local child who died in infancy. In October 2007, Mrs Darwin settled her affairs in the UK, having sold off the family's properties, and joined her husband in Panama. Before long, Darwin flew back to the UK and handed himself in at a central London police station, claiming he was suffering from amnesia. His wife pretended to be shocked at his return from the dead.
Her story collapsed when a photograph was found on the internet showing the smiling couple in the office of a Panama estate agent. Her defence of "marital coercion" was later undermined when the prosecution produced loving emails the couple had exchanged.
Cleveland Police said they were keen to ensure that Darwin does not cash in on his infamy, as he is said to be eager to publish his memoirs. A spokeswoman for the force said if that were to be the case, his assets could be reassessed and seized.

Students put all their skills together to have a final debate. An ESL debate lesson practicing how to follow a complete debate format.
Level: Advanced
Topic: Debate
Time: 90 minutes
Designate two or three students as judges, and separate the remaining students into two equal teams.
If there are more than 15 students, split the class into four teams and have two debates. Run the two debates concurrently, but assign different resolutions so students don't copy ideas from each other.
Give each student the Debate Format Handout, and ask students to get the other handouts needed (listed on the Debate Format Handout). Also, give the judges the Judging Form and a timer.
Read the Handout together as a class and answer any questions.
Note: There is no handout for the Cross Examination. The Cross Examination is the time for students to ask questions about anything they didn't understand in the opposing team's Affirmative or Negative Constructive.
Assign the debate resolution. Allow 25 - 30 minutes for the teams to prepare their First Constructive. Judges can alternate between teams to offer unbiased help.
Then, start the debate following the format outlined on the Handout.
At the end of the debate, ask the judges to decide the winner and present their decision to the teams.
It is best to do this final debate after completing Organizing the Opinion, Debate: Refuting an Argument, First Negative Constructive, and Debate: Rebuttal Speech.

Fantasy High: Part Nineteen
The bass from the music for the dance was audible as soon as Azkedelia and Merlin left the glen. When they landed in the courtyard, the sun was lazily dipping behind the school, painting the sky a rainbow of red, orange, and gold. Night's deep blue cloak was still far away, a pencil line against the bright sun.
Merlin held his hand towards Azkedelia. "Shall we?"
All the color drained from Azkedelia's face. "Merlin, I've got a bad feeling about the dance. Maybe we shouldn't be here."
Merlin laughed. "Az, I'm sure it's nothing. You're probably just in pain and that's influencing your mind."
Azkedelia looked at Merlin, the fear plainly visible in her purple eyes. "Merlin, I'm not in pain right now. This is a real, tangible instinct. There's something bad at the dance tonight. Please, let's go do something else."
Merlin stood in front of Azkedelia and looked into her eyes. "Az, you got all dressed up and used magic on me, I don't want that to go to waste. And besides, we're here to have fun. Come on, Az."
Knowing he wouldn't listen, she took his hand, a sign of her surrender.
Merlin smiled. "Now let's go dance."
The doors were open and Headmaster DiVanno and a dwarf were at the door.
"Miss Keystone, I see you're feeling well enough to socialize again. Does this mean you'll be back in your classes on Monday?"
Azkedelia nodded. "Yes, Headmaster DiVanno."
The headmaster smiled. "Very well. Have fun tonight."
After they walked in, Azkedelia laughed. "Merlin, did Headmaster DiVanno actually just smile?"
Merlin smiled and nodded. "I think he did. So much for him being an emotionless elf."
Azkedelia laughed, already feeling her fear recede. Merlin pulled Azkedelia on the dance floor.
As soon as one of Azkedelia's black flats touched the dance floor, a tall, pale djamphir with black hair walked to her. "Would you like to dance?"
Azkedelia looked at Merlin. Merlin nodded.
Azkedelia smiled. "Sure."
The djamphir smiled and took Azkedelia's hand as he led her further out on the dance floor. A slow song came on. The djamphir put one hand above her hips, and held her hand.
Azkedelia looked over his shoulder at Merlin. "Don't get to comfortable, Merlin won't be too happy."
The djamphir smiled, showing his fangs. "Don't worry, I won't."
Azkedelia looked down. "So I don't think I've seen you around here before."
The djamphir shook his head. "That's because you haven't. My parents decided to extend our vacation."
Azkedelia smiled. "I know what that's like."
The djamphir nodded. "So Azkedelia Italia Keystone, right?"
Azkedelia dropped his hand. "How did you know my whole name?"
The djamphir stopped dancing. "I know a lot about you, Azkedelia. I've known you for a long time. I've always been watching you. But your mother never told you about me, did she?" He laughed. "Of course she didn't. She never wanted you to know that Peter wasn't your birth dad."
Azkedelia took a step back. "How do you know my mother? And what do you mean Peter isn't my real dad? Of course he is."
The djamphir took a step closer. "No, he isn't. But I know who is."
Azkedelia took another step back. "What do you want?"
The djamphir smiled. "You'll find that out on the night of the lunar eclipse."
Azkedelia bumped into one of her Grellon.
"Is everything okay, Fiera Az?"
Azkedelia turned around, her face ashen. "No, Charcoal. It isn't. There was this djamphir…"
Azkedelia turned around, but the djamphir was gone.
Charcoal put her hands on Azkedelia's shoulder. "Fiera, what djamphir? I see none near you."
Azkedelia started shaking.
"Fiera, are you okay?" Ash walked up and stood in front of Azkedelia.
Charcoal shook her head. "Fiera says there was a djamphir that was harassing her."
Ash nodded, her lips pressed in a tight line. "Charcoal, you and the Grellon look for this djamphir. I'll take Fiera Az to Merlin. Fiera, what did this djamphir look like?"
Azkedelia took a deep breath to try and calm herself. "He was tall and pale, with black hair. He looked so familiar…"
Charcoal squeezed Azkedelia's shoulder once. "Maybe Fiera has seen him somewhere before. Don't worry, if he's here, we'll find him."
Azkedelia nodded and allowed herself to be led away by Ash. She pushed her way through the students until she found Merlin talking with a couple other warlocks.
Ash cleared her throat to get his attention. "Merlin, Fiera needs to leave the dance. Now."
Merlin grabbed Azkedelia and pulled her close. "Why?"
Ash shrugged. "She said she saw this djamphir and he was harassing her."
Merlin nodded. "Thank you. Go help search for him."
Ash saluted and walked away.
Merlin brushed a curl from Azkedelia's face. "Az, what's going on? I know you wouldn't get the Grellon looking for someone unless it was important."
Azkedelia tucked her head underneath Merlin's chin. "He said Peter wasn't my real dad and that he knew who was and my mom was hiding something big from me and my sisters. And he looked so familiar."
Merlin shrugged and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "It's okay, Az. We'll find him, and then we'll figure all of this out."
Azkedelia nodded and wrapped her fingers in the loose fabric of his shirt. "Merlin, that thing I was telling you about…"
"The one you said was coming after you?"
She nodded. "It's coming closer. Something bad is going to happen soon. Something really bad, beyond anything we've ever imagined. Merlin, promise you'll protect me, no matter what."
Merlin moved his chin and kissed the top of her head. "Of course. Nothing is going to get to you while I'm around."
Azkedelia flashed the beginning of a small smile. "Then I hope you're around for a long time."
Merlin looked worried and tilted her face up. "Why don't you think I will?"
Azkedelia blinked back tears. "Because whatever is coming after me will kill anything and everything in its way to get to me. And I hope it doesn't get to you or me."
Merlin leaned down and kissed her lightly. "I promise that I'm not going anywhere."
Ash walked back to Azkedelia. "Fiera, there was no djamphir even remotely matching your description. Maybe the djamphir left."
"He didn't leave. He's a shape-shifter. He's still here. He lives at the school." Azkedelia blinked, not sure how she knew this.
"So he's a student?" Merlin asked.
Azkedelia shook her head. "No. He's not a teacher, either. But he lives here."
Merlin looked at Ash. "Thank you, Lieutenant, I'll take it from here. If you find the djamphir, bring him to me."
Ash saluted and walked away, passing the message onto the Grellon. Merlin wrapped his arm protectively around Azkedelia's shoulder and led her away from the dance. They slipped out through a side door. The fresh air helped clear her mind, dispelling her fear. Merlin led Azkedelia towards the dorms.
Nix opened the door when they got to Azkedelia's room. "Why are you back so early? The dance isn't over yet."
Merlin nodded. "Something happened."
Nix raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"
"Our dad was there," Azkedelia said, not too sure how she knew that.
"What was Peter doing at the dance?"
Azkedelia shook her head. "Not Peter, our real dad."
Nix smiled. "Az, maybe you hit your head during one of your injuries. Of course Peter's our real dad."
Azkedelia shook her head again. "No, he's not. We need to talk to mom and clear this up."
Nix took a step back and walked towards the mirror. "Paeblae dinyasae."
The mirror briefly glowed dark blue and then cleared, showing Genevieve, the girls' mother.
"Hi mom! How are you?" Nix asked.
Genevieve smiled. "I'm great, Nix. But why are you at Azkedelia's school?"
Nix looked down. "I had to come help her with a few things."
Genevieve looked past Nix at Azkedelia. "Azkedelia Italia Keystone, what is going on here?"
Azkedelia looked up at her mom. "Mom, I was hoping you could answer that. Tonight at the dance, a djamphir came up to me and he said you never told me about him, you never told any of us about him. He didn't tell me his name, but he looked familiar. He was pale, with black eyes and hair. Who is he?"
Genevieve looked down. "Az, Nix, I never wanted to tell you this, but…"
Peter walked up behind her. "Hi girls! How are things going?"
Nix smiled. "Great, dad, but mom was about to tell us something important."
Peter looked at Genevieve. "So they know?"
"They only know parts of it."
Peter nodded. "Then tell them the whole thing. They need to know."
Genevieve nodded. "Nix, Az, Peter isn't your real father. Your birth dad's name is Cambio. Cambio is a power-hungry shape-shifter. I didn't know that when I married him. But after you three were born, that was when I started to see his true colors. He's an evil shape-shifter, with a soul so dark, it should never even be spoken of."

White Alligator Racing press release
Savoie picks up a round win, moves up one position in standings
CHANDLER, Ariz. (Oct. 16) – Rookie of the year contender and Countdown to the Championship player Jerry Savoie saw red in the blazing Arizona desert on raceday – four-thousandths worth in the second round of eliminations at the NHRA Arizona Nationals at Firebird Int'l Raceway near Phoenix – but it didn't hinder his ascension in the Full Throttle Series standings.
Savoie, now No. 6 in the championship chase, leaves the event one step above where he was before arriving in the Valley of the Sun, and the weekend of racing in the hot and arid conditions provided experience that will surely contribute to success in future outings.
"We learn something every weekend," said the 52-year-old rider of the White Alligator Racing Suzuki. "And I'll tell you, we have a better bike than we showed here, but I feel accomplished already. We wanted to do better, but we figured a few things out, and that's a good thing."
The first round of eliminations saw opponent Angie Smith red-light and Savoie, the No. 10 qualifier, race to his quickest and fastest pass of the weekend, a 7.001 at 192.99 mph that had crew chief Mark Peiser pleased and optimistic about the future.
"We had some valve spring issues during qualifying, and because of that we were running with no power," said Peiser. "So I took the new ones out and put my best old valve springs in, and we had power – we picked up three miles per hour. That was our best run, and we left some out there."
In the quarterfinals, Savoie drew Hector Arana Sr., who qualified second with a 6.937 and had picked off Matt Guidera in the eliminations opener with a 6.901 at 194.60 that was second-quickest of the round.
He had never before raced Hector Sr. on raceday, but coming into the match, Savoie knew he was at a deficit of approximately a tenth of a second and had to be on his game to get the job done. Unfortunately, the strategy produced a red-light instead of the desired results.
"What we did here will go in the memory bank, and we won't make the same mistakes again," said Peiser. "But it was a positive weekend. We didn't tear anything up, and we have two motors left and two races to go. I feel pretty good about that."

Certified Adobe Photoshop Expert Richard Harrington's new book is invaluable
Photoshop for Nonlinear Editors
|Douglas Spotted Eagle, VASST trainer,
Sundance Media Group
Cutting through the mysteries of photo editing, aspect ratios, transparency, alpha channels, titling, etc are all a big part of what makes this book great. I found myself staying up late into the night reading this nearly 300-page book filled with color graphics throughout, finding tidbits and full-on approaches to creating great titles and stills in NLE systems. Richard Harrington is a certified Adobe Photoshop Expert, among other credentials such as being a certified Avid instructor, Final Cut Pro instructor, and faculty member at the Art Institute of Washington.
The book is loaded with tutorials, such as how to correct aspect ratio, how various aspect ratios look in different NLE systems, photo editors, and output tools. My favorite tutorials are probably those on masking and creating ripped edges. Sometimes it's very easy to get caught up in working with just one application, and forgetting that Adobe's Photoshop can bring some serious creative muscle to the table. This book reminded me of that muscle in a very loud way! I woke up this morning with my head screaming ideas after reading this book.
One of the highlights of the book are the in-depth profiles of creative mavens like Angie Taylor, Glen Stephens, Lianne Rozzell, and other monsters of video tools, authoring, creativity, and award-winning projects. Most of the artists profiled offer their own tips and tricks regarding image creation and manipulation.
Subjects like font management, what fonts to use for what types of projects, getting the most out of fonts and their angles, lighting, paths, colors, and over all presentation are covered in depth. Repairing poor photos, creatively using weak media, creating video backgrounds, using various filters for effect, and automating effects and tasks in Photoshop are all covered in depth with lots of pictures to go along with the tutorials and descriptive elements of the book.
At no point does Harrington assume anything about the end user, other than that they are using Photoshop 6.0 or newer. (A demo version of Photoshop 7 is included with the book.) His approach is very simplistic in words, but complex in capability and end result.
Following the tutorials is very easy, once the Mac-only images are related to the PC structure. In fact, this is the only fallible portion of the book that I can point to, is that Harrington assumes that all PC users will be able to quickly make those translations from the Mac screen to the PC screen. Behaviors are the same in the two platforms and Photoshop, but keystrokes and GUI are slightly different. It might have been slightly more useful if in each keystroke example that both Mac and PC instructions were given.
Harrington provides some very helpful tips on creating, coloring, placing corporate and other logo formats. This deep section was particularly useful to me, as I'd been stumped on creating and placing a logo 'bug' in a video corner for a client, having trouble making colors stand out while still being transparent on the screen. Harrington points the way to keeping colors present in most any situation.
|More than 90 minutes of tutorials, plugins, demoware, articles, exercises, and tryout software found on the DVD in the back of the book make this publication worth the price of admission alone. At $54.95, it's easily one of the no-brainer 'add-to-my-library' books of the decade.
Overall, just the DVD alone is worth the price of admission on this book. I'm somewhat surprised to see it so inexpensive, given the plugins, video tutorials, demo ware, and articles found on the DVD in addition to the wonderfully illustrated pages of the book. This is clearly a strong labor of love for Richard Harrington, as it's a lengthy book packed with zero fluff, and solid information that every NLE owner should have, and every user of Photoshop period should have access to. Were it not for the Mac-only approach to this book, I'd easily give it a 5 out of 5, but that factor brings it to a 4 out of 5 for me.
A sample chapter of the book may be downloaded here in pdf format.

Walking along walking along walking along stop! I shook my head, snapping out of the, well, the out-of-it frame of mind and found my nose inches from a sign I was sure wasnt in my way two steps ago. I stepped back and read it.
West-Character developement
North-Happy Ending
I frowned at the sign, it didnt really help me. I was here to find a girl, not necessarily a happy ending, nor a plot, nor did I need to develop my character. I was quite developed enough, thank you, had been in loads of plots, and many with happy endings. And one without. I pushed that thought out of my head before it got worse.
"Lets head this way." I said to the other two, who had been talking amongst themselves, as I pointed north. I hoped that heading for a happy ending would get me that much closer to my goal.
Before I knew it, I was walking on very familiar territory. My house in fact. I turned, no one was behind me. Somewhere in the distance, a voice whispered: You no longer need to be in the world of writers block. You have a calling elsewhere. In my hand was a plane ticket, and a suitcase sat by my stopped feet.
"Come on son, time to get you where you need to go." Said my dad. I grinned and slid into the car, where would my adventures take me this time?

Pakistan sport hits low point with qualifying debacle
By Drazen Jorgic
LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan's sporting decline has left the vast South Asian nation that once prided itself on producing the world's best hockey and squash players facing up to an Olympics for which none of its athletes have qualified.
While cricket remains a wildly popular game in Pakistan, a nation of almost 200 million people, most other sports have shrunk in popularity as the successes of the 1980s and early 1990s have become a distant memory.
In dilapidated gyms and crumbling sports fields Pakistani athletes lament the dated equipment and obsolete training methods which leave them struggling against foreign foes who adhere to the latest science-based techniques.
Female athletes have an even bigger mountain to climb: most young girls in the deeply conservative Muslim nation are pressured by their families to stop exercising in public, while those with family backing face the wrath of their communities.
"We are behind the rest of the world," said Inam Butt, a Pakistani wrestling champion who won gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. "Our budget, training and facilities are just nothing. How can we compete?"
Butt, like other athletes, says the future will remain bleak until Pakistan's government starts pouring money into sport.
The seven participants due to represent Pakistan at next month's Rio Olympics have all been given wildcard entries and stand "no chance" of winning medals, according to Arif Hasan, the Pakistan Olympic Association president.
"They are more or less going for the participation and gaining the experience. Let's hope next time will be better," he said. Continued...

"It's like there was a giant rumbling noise, the foundations shook, there was a crack in the altar and the golden idol fell down," he says. "And then there was a silence as they picked up the idol, polished it and put it back on the altar and now they're hoping that nobody had noticed. The fact is, we've had three or four supposedly unprecedented crises in the last couple of decades, and these events seem to be getting bigger and more frequent. That suggests to me that we really need to fix the whole architecture of world capitalism, but nothing I've heard suggests that anybody's doing that."Truly, nobody is doing that. For the moment, in Greece, in the US, and elsewhere, everything is patchwork, a few small repairs, even the illusion of repairs, and that's it.

Of Idols and Crises
Here's a quote of the day, perhaps the best metaphor I've heard for where we are now in this financial and economic crisis, a few years downstream of the initial fractures, as authorities (and bankers) in Europe are still trying to duck necessary pain and loss through clever financial slight of hand. From novelist John Lanchester, quoted in Business & Finance:

Letter To A Friend
Dear Mark,
At last I've found the perfect pearl for the perfect girl. I'm going to ask her to marry me. But as you know, I didn't want it to be traditional, so I'd like you to set this pearl for me. It will be the most beautiful engagement ring your clever fingers have ever created. And you're the only man I'd trust with the job.
I'm thinking a white gold. Would that be best since it's a black pearl? Solitaire setting. As the gold wraps around the pearl the band should become thinner, and I'd like that part to be set with diamonds. The diamonds should get consecutively smaller as they wrap from one side of the pearl to the other, tapering in size the same way that the band does. Something like that diamond ring you made for your niece's engagement a while ago. You know the one I'm talking about.
I have complete confidence in you. When you're finished, I'd appreciate if you could send the ring to:
Victor Thompson
341 Fairfax Lane
Aurora, Maine 04408
This is Victor's home address. Since we'll be back there in about a month, I'm thinking that's a good destination for it. The post office will keep it nice and safe I'm sure. I'll have payment for you when I return. Thank you in advance.

About the Owner
About Alice Harrison
Mick and myself are both retired. We have spent many wonderful years in our villa. As we grow older, we want to spend more time with our gorgeous family in Uk, three children and 9 grandchildren. Much as we absolutely love this way of life,( we have lived the dream), we are so missing our adorable family. So, we have decided to spend more time with them and give some people the chance to enjoy our villa . We will still enjoy the warm sunny winters here.
Alice Harrison purchased this villa in 2006
Why Alice Harrison chose Carvoeiro area
Carvoeiro is such a charming place to be. Everyone is so friendly and there are no high rise apartments. The area of Carvoeiro Club is very attractive with the beautiful individual villas set in large grounds. It is very peaceful, while still having all the social amenities. The cliff walks are very calming and only minutes away.
What makes this villa unique
At the height of summer we can sometimes hear the distant night music from Carvoeiro village, and still have tranquillity. There are stunning sea views ànd fantastic cliff walks. Many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance and tennis courts and golf nearby. The BBQ and summer kitchen provide excellent facilities for those special outdoor meals..

Summer break
This is a very peaceful relaxing location. The villa offers everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Garden and pool maintained every other day and cleaning service once a week. Great local restaurants nearby which are walking distance. If you want to just laze by the pool or go to the beach we would recommend this villa. You will need a car though if you want to venture out to other areas. Thank you so much Mick and Alice for letting us stay in your lovely Villa. The wades 👍😄
Lovely property
Our party of 8 stayed here for two weeks and had a lovely relaxing holiday, I would recommend an hire car if we stayed here again although we did use a local friendly and safe taxi company for our many trips to Carvoeiro, Farraguda, Intermarche and slide and spalsh etc. Probably a 15 to 20 minute walk up hill to the nearest mini market where you can get lovely fresh rolls, croissants and pain au chocolat a few times a day. Villa is set in beautiful, tranquil surroundings with many trees surrounding the property keeping it very private. The garden area is quite large with many different areas if you like shade. Garden and pool areas are well maintained with regular visits from the gardeners and pool mainteneance. Outdoor seating area is brilliant and we used this frequently along with the lovely bbq and summer kitchen which has all the facilities you will need. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all large, with large fitted wardrobes in them and also large bathrooms as well. Lovely views of garden, sea and pool from the different bedrooms. Plenty of sunbeds and space around the pool area. Slightly further to Carveoiro than we expected and would probably take about 30 minutes with children which is fine but will be mostly up hill on the return. Lovely restaurant across the road at the tennis club with a fixed price menu of 9.50 euros over lunch and 12.50 for dinner for 3 courses which also includes a drink. Would not hesitate to stay here again and we all had a lovely and relaxing time.
A great trip and the villa made it perfect
I stayed in Casa Suska with 8 friends. The villa is spacious and very beautiful. The villa is located in a quiet area and you have sea views from the second floor balcony (even better from the roof). We were surprised by the size of the garden, it is very well looked after and the villa owners have done a very nice job with it.
Definitely recommend staying there.
Thank you.

Activity and Interests
Paraiso and Carvoeiro beaches are approx. 15/20 mins walk, but there are many other in the vicinity. Carvoeiro beach is a walk on, with no steps, and many bars and restaurants in close proximity. Live music and entertainment is provided on the square.
Faro airport is 40 mins drive away. A hire car is not essential for anyone who loves a short walk into the village, but would recommend one for convenience and the older generation, and very young children. There are many taxis available which are very reasonably priced. Eating and drinking establishments are within easy walking distance.
Further Details:
Carvoeiro Club, opposite, has just had a major refurbishment, and offers fantastic leisure facilities. Tennis courts and tuition available. New apparatus in the large gym,young childrens play area, with 2 pools and snack bar. Exquisite restaurant and bar.

A New Look
"River!" The Doctor yelled, panic stricken as he ran from the TARDIS, trying to look in every direction at once, "River!" There was no one here, but there had to be, the psychic paper had given him these exact co-ordinates, this exact time and date, this was where he was supposed to be, but where the hell was River?
He whipped around and saw a girl curled up in a corner, covered in blood and dirt and wincing in pain, her hands wrapped around her middle trying to stop the bleeding. The Doctor ran to her, pulling his jacket off and pressing it to the blood source, "What happened?" he asked the stranger,
"What do you think happened?" she growled dangerously through her pain, "I was shot,"
The girl raised an arm and hooked it around the Doctor's neck, "I can tell you later, can we just get into the TARDIS please?"
The Doctor frowned, but, this girl needed medical help, she couldn't afford to lose much more blood, so he scooped her into his arms and carried her, into the TARDIS and through the corridors to the medical bay. "What's your name?" he asked her, as he set her down on an exam table, "And your species?"
"Now isn't exactly the time for stupid jokes Doctor,"
"It isn't a joke, I need to know!" he exclaimed, grabbed scissors and cutting her shirt open to better see the wound, "Sorry abut this," he added, motioning her exposure, "But as I was saying, not a joke, I'm a time traveller, and I'm sorry I don't know who you are, seeing as you've obviously met me before, but I haven't met you yet, and with your life hanging in the balance like this, it is rather important I know your species so I can save you." As he rambled, and worked, he didn't notice her loosing focus, her eyes drooping and her grip slackening, it was only when she spoke, barely above a whisper that he understood,
"You called may name," she mumbled so softly he barely heard, "Doctor…" and the small amount of consciousness she had, slipped away,
The Doctor stared at her, his eyes wide, "River?" he whispered, and as though her unconscious was trying to answer him, her body started to glow, a golden aura filling the air, acting quickly the Doctor pulled her up too a sitting position and tapped her face, "River, you need to wake up, River."
Her eyes fluttered, and she let the Doctor pull her too her feet. Swaying a bit as he stepped back she looked at him, with worried eyes, "Doctor?"
"I'm sorry River, it's started, there's nothing I can do."
She swallowed thickly, her eyes filling with tears and nodded, "Goodbye, my love,"
"You'll be okay, River, you can do this." He told her, and then she exploded and golden light, her head falling back and her body arching as the light poured from her face and hands, the Doctor watching helplessly from the other side of the room.
The gold light was gone as suddenly as it had started and River straightened out, the jeans she had been wearing seemed to be much tighter now, and the straps of her bra dug into her shoulders, though the cups seemed a size or two too big. She glanced around the medical bay and finding a mirror she started walking to it, wincing as her shoes pinched her feet with each step. She took in her reflection with a curious glance. She was taller, and broader, her hips were wider, but the curves were rather alluring, she smiled and was surprised it appeared as a seductive smirk on her face. She rather liked it. She looked down at her body and pulled the too small shoes from her feet, letting out a sigh of satisfaction as the pain melted away. Next she removed her bra, then her jeans, and finally her panties and just looked at herself. She wasn't sure if her taste had changed, or what it was, but she felt much more comfortable with herself in this body, she felt confident in her appearance, she felt hot.
Maybe it was the hair. She raised a hand to pull at a long blonde curl and watched it spring back into place. Yes, she thought, it was probably the hair. This hair was marvellous. Much better the thin and straggly brown locks that never meet her expectations.
Finally satisfied with her new appearance River turned with a broad smile, "What do you think, Sweetie?" Sweetie? Oh that was new. She shrugged it off. Besides, it rather suited him.
The Doctor stared at her. "You regenerated." A childish grin formed on his face and he let an excited little giggle escape his lips, "River, you regenerated!"
"Yes I did," she laughed, "Oh come here, my love, this body is a virgin after all," The Doctor blushed at her words and she laughed, "Oh and very flirty! Come on Doctor, don't leave me waiting."
The Doctor strode forward and kissed her, he kissed her deeply and passionately, pulling her naked body closer, his hands burying in her hair, "I love you River Song, you amazing, wonderful woman,"
She laughed, "Oh I love you too Sweetie, however, it seems to me that you're quite a bit over dressed," and she started to push his suspenders from his shoulders, the Doctor just grinned and undid his tie, letting it fall to the ground as she began to unbutton his shirt, her lips finding his once more.

Egg Harbor 50
I drove over the two-lane bridge to Somers Point, New Jersey, a quaint, 16-square-mile waterfront town just seven miles south of Atlantic City, and thought that I'd gone back in time. I cruised along the narrow streets and listened to waking gulls warble, breathed in the sea air that envelops this intoxicating place, and watched the harbor-side tackle shop and restaurant workers flip the

How much difference can one foot make? In football it could mean getting in the end zone for six points vs. falling short for a goose egg, or missing the uprights on a field goal and losing three points that could've won the game. When it comes to boatbuilding, one foot can be the difference between a good ride and a great ride.
It had been two years since I tested the Egg Harbor 42 on the

There's an old cliche that women love men who are wealthy and powerful. While this certainly doesn't describe all women, there is a certain allure to a man who's the boss of everything and has plenty of cash to pay the bills.
These days, some of the richest and most powerful people around are politicians. While some politicians are married to people who wouldn't exactly be the president of looky-land, others managed to nab themselves women who are beautiful enough to make even people on the other side of the aisle drool a little bit.
Or did those women nab themselves a politician? Either way, join us as we appreciate the hottest political wives from around the world.

A new investment sector has been introduced for 2014 in recognition of the growing number of bond funds that invest in emerging markets. The Global Emerging Markets Bond sector encompasses 25 funds from big names such as Aberdeen, Invesco, M&G and Threadneedle.
But does the launch of the new sector mean it's time for investors to take a closer look at emerging market debt? Investors should approach it with caution, advised Darius McDermott, boss of Chelsea Financial Services.
"Funds investing in local currencies had a torrid 2013, with the double whammy of tapering worries and a strengthening US dollar leading to a number of local currencies depreciating significantly," he said.
"In the shorter term, the next two to three years, I think funds investing in the US dollar will do better."
Specialist fund managers, as you'd expect, offer a more positive outlook. "2014 may not be an easy ride, although we expect returns to be positive," said John Peta, co-head of Threadneedle's emerging market debt team.
"Emerging markets continue to be supported by favourable long-term structural factors but the question is whether emerging markets can surprise us with growth this year, since it is stronger growth which has traditionally drawn investors in."
Brett Diment, head of emerging market and sovereign debt at Aberdeen, conceded that there could be some choppy waters for the sector this year, but he added: "We believe the outlook for the asset class over the medium to long-term remains healthy due to attractive yields compared to developed market bonds."
Fidelity's fixed income chief, Andrew Wells, highlighted the opportunities presented by so-called dim sum bonds, which invest in Chinese debt. "They proved resilient last year and we expect another steady performance from them in 2014, especially in light of recent reform announcements."
Mr McDermott predicted that the second half of 2014 could be a better time to invest. "Hopefully, the global recovery will be growing by then," he said.
Then, he suggested, investors could look at emerging market debt funds from Standard Life or Investec.

Having problems with your Dyson Vacuums ?
Dyson cannot be pushed - too much suction
\015 My Dyson DC41 is working great on carpets but i cant even push it on laminate - the suction is so strong. It was ok up to now - what could it be ?\015
Answers :
I have exactly the same problem and it appears to be a design flaw. The central roller on the baseplate (the plate that's in contact with the floor) disintergrates meaning that the faceplate is complete contact with the floor creating a vacuum. This then makes it almost impossible to use on smooth surfaces. I reported mine to dyson and they sent out a replacement brushhead. However, within three months of fitting the replacement part the same problem has re-occurred. Look like i'll need to call dyson again !!!!
Clean the sole plate of black residue then rub some baby powder on it to make it slide easy..

I've had my Dyson DC14 vacuum cleaner now for approximately 9 months and been very happy with my purchase. However, It is used sparingly maybe twice a week at the very most.

From the cohost of Fox & Friends, the true story of the anonymous spies who helped win the Revolutionary War.
Among the pantheon of heroes of the American Revolution, six names are missing. First and foremost, Robert Townsend, an unassuming and respected businessman from Long Island, who spearheaded the spy ring that covertly brought down the British…before they, or anyone else, could discover their names.
Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger finally give Townsend and his fellow spies their proper due, telling the fascinating story of how they passed information to George Washington that turned the tide of the war. Using a network of citizen operatives that included a longshoreman, bartender, newspaper editor, housewife, tailor, and femme fatale, and employing a series of complex codes, the so-called Culper Spy Ring used sophisticated tactics to subvert the British.
Based on previously unpublished research, George Washington's Secret Six is a gripping history of these amazing, anonymous Patriots who risked their lives for our freedom.

Great Expectations Left Unfulfilled
No, I wouldn't. This book could have been exciting and had a great underlying story. However, it was written in a lifeless fashion and I was never pulled into the story. I found it boring.
I think it would have needed different writers and most certainly a different narrator.
The narration was terrible. The reader spoke much too fast and did not enunciate clearly.
The best part of the book was the hype leading up to it. I couldn't wait to hear more about these men.
Waste of money.

Worst Reader Ever

All Product Details
The Upanishads have puzzled and inspired wisdom seekers from Yeats to Schopenhauer. In this best-selling translation, Eknath Easwaran makes these challenging texts more accessible by selecting the passages most relevant to readers seeking timeless truths today. This book includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. But it is Easwarans understanding of the wisdom of the Upanishads that makes this edition truly outstanding.
Each sage, each Upanishad, appeals in a different way to the readers head and heart. For Easwaran, the Upanishads are part of Indias precious legacy, not just to Hinduism but to humanity, and in that spirit they are offered here.

No worries, shame though. sure Enda will sort you out
I've put eibach pro kit springs on my 330d touring and would say they defo make it corner harder but I can't live with the drop as it bottoms out on my drive and hits the bump stops too often.
Changed the oil seperator for vortex type, easy job. Unplugged/blocked egr but didn't notice any real difference so put it back. Fitted ecotune decat to free up the turbo, this won't give you anymore power but does allow the turbo to spool up quicker giving better response, aswell as giving the turbo a slightly easier time which is no bad thing on a high miler.
Gave it a service with some good oil then got a remap. Made the car a lot quicker when on boost, feels more reactive and keener to rev with vety little lag but it does seem to have lost a little bit of driveability, low rev off boost response seems flat although I seem to be the only person to experience this so could be a fault somewhere else on my car causing it.

Regardless, we can ill afford to wait around hoping that help arrives before our offensive stalls. We must make the best of what we have.
As for me, I need ore to fashion an anvil so I can begin to upgrade our armor and weapons.
There are a group of naga on the coast to the east of here collecting ore and placing it in chests for shipment to the Legion.
Relieving them of their ore will help our efforts in more ways than one....

So far, very few bills have passed that have narrowed the budget gap...and time, of course, is seriously running out at this point. So, what is going through the minds of state lawmakers today? We put this question to Steve Lewis, who joins us by phone from the State Capitol Building. StudioTulsa Presents "Along the Watershed" -- StateImpact's 2014 Doc on Oklahoma's Scenic Rivers By Rich Fisher • May 23, 2016 There are six waterways in eastern Oklahoma that are considered so environmentally and economically significant they're given special consideration and protection from the state. These so-called Scenic Rivers were profiled in a special half-hour radio doc created by StateImpact reporters Joe Wertz and Logan Layden in 2014. This doc was originally aired as a four-part radio series, and we are pleased to re-broadcast it today on StudioTulsa. Tax Cut Measure Moves Forward By Marshall Stewart • Mar 1, 2012 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin's plan to cut the personal income tax rate for more than 60 percent of Oklahomans has cleared its first legislative hurdle. Republican House Speaker Kris Steele introduced the 100-page bill late Wednesday in the House Appropriations Committee, which passed the measure on an 11-6 vote, mostly along party lines.
