Dog People(2014)
A novel by Peter Beere and Garry Kilworth
Steven Roberts has problems with women. He also has problems with men. The only people he feels a true affinity with are the impassive squatters who move in with him, camping quietly and without fuss in a corner of his living-room. A situation which continues to their mutual advantage until a night of terrible drama and tragedy. Steven Roberts, a man bereft after the devastating loss of his wife and child in a car accident, embarks on an intense and moving personal odyssey. Seeking redemption. Seeking forgiveness. Seeking a way back to life.

|Half Baths
|4,400 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
This house is a great setting for hosting gatherings of family and friends. With seven bedrooms, 3.5 baths, two kitchens, two living rooms, a large sun room and dining room, two decks, a veranda and balcony, parking for ten cars and spacious, well landscaped grounds, guests have all the room they need to relax and enjoy themselves!
This classic Second Empire mansard mansion, built by Biddeford's mayor in 1927, abounds in charm, with crystal chandeliers, built-in cabinets, hardwood floors with patterned inlays, and sparkling French doors. Walk under the columned entrance of the grand parlor, through the living room with its working brick fireplace and into the inviting sun room lined with built-in benches. The first floor also includes a dining room that seats 12, a well equipped kitchen with an outside deck for grilling, a half-bath, plus a private master bedroom suite with a full bath.
The second floor has three sizable bedrooms, a full bath with laundry, a second full kitchen with a large outside deck and a balcony overlooking the yard. A spectacular cupola crowns the third floor, which has two bedrooms, a full bath and an expansive sleeping/lounge area with two more beds.
The master bedroom has a king (1) and all other bedrooms have queen sized beds (7). In addition, there are two pull-out sofas on the first floor in the living room (double) and sun room (queen). The comfortable beds are outfitted with cotton blend sheets. All bathrooms and the second-floor kitchen are new.
This location is a six-minute drive from the beautiful Fortunes Rocks and Biddeford Pool beaches, half an hour to Portland or Ogunquit, and 15 minutes to Old Orchard Beach or Kennebunkport. Across the street is scenic Clifford Park, with views of the White Mountains and hiking and biking trails, some traversing old granite quarries.
Craig is a wonderful resource of information. His passion for restoring this beautiful mansion is bubbling over. It fit our needs for a reunion of 12 family members from 2 states (MD & Minn). I only heard 2 complaints .Clothing hooks and towel bars were needed in the bathrooms and the main floor refrigerator was making ice but not dispensing ice, even though my cousin removed an ice dam. If we have an opportunity to revisit this ares we would consider renting again.
Our group of 10 friends had a lovely stay at the mansion. We had plenty of room for sleeping and table space to play games and eat communal meals. The house was also large enough that we could all have our space to get away if we wanted, watching TV or relaxing on the deck. The beds were comfortable and there were enough bathrooms for all of us (although hot water was a little in demand in the mornings) The second kitchen was especially helpful for storing snacks and making drinks, and even the washer and dryer came in handy! The house is about a mile from the nearest grocery store and the beach is a short car ride away which was nice. Craig was friendly and helpful, we would recommend the house to friends and family.
I was hesitant to rent a house as I had never done so before. I was worried I wouldn't feel comfortable in someone else's home. All that went away once we arrived. The home was very comfortable and inviting. The yard is very well enclosed with hedges and gives the home a feel of privacy.
The home itself was set up with one master bedroom on the 1st floor. There were 3 bedrooms on the second floor. On the 3rd floor there were 3 beds in an open area (great for the kids) and traditional two bedrooms. We had seven adults (age 37-75) and four kids (age 6-12). There are two kitchens and we didn't even need the second one. We could all eat at the large dining room table. There is laundry on the second floor.
The location is great. There's a park/playground just across the street. There are ocean views and a sandy public beach within a 10 minute drive. Downtown Biddeford is within walking distance. Downtown Saco is a brisk walk or a short drive. We stocked up at a Sam's club about 15-20 minutes away.
The owner, Craig, was great. He gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The booking process was easy and the security deposit was returned in a timely manner.
We rented this beautiful home for a family get together to celebrate our child's graduation from UNE.
We had 16 people (2 children) and everyone slept in a bed. We did not even use the pull out couches. There are 6 separate bedrooms. There are also 3 beds in a big open area on the third floor and 2 pull out couches on the first floor. If privacy is an issue I would say cap it at 12 (2 per bedroom), if not you can sleep almost 20. All sheets and pillows provided.
There are 2 kitchens (1st and 2nd floor) each with a couple of stools. They are not huge but big enough for a few people to work or a small gathering. However since there are 2 kitchens, both of which are wll equiped, you won't have any problem storing or preparing food. It also had a gas bbq grill on the back porch. There is a large dining room. I don't remember how many it seats but it was big. I would say at least 12 probably more.
Besides the aforementioned kitchens, dining room and bedrooms there are also 2 sitting rooms. One off the dining room and one (sun room) off the entryway. The sun room was beautiful. We spent most of out time there. It was bright and had a lot of seats. We had a great time socializing in this area. Another great spot was the front porch. It is long, had plenty of seating and the children could play in the front yard (along with toys provided in the boot tray in the entryway – great touch).
1st floor – one full in the bedroom and a half bath. One on each the 2nd and 3rd floor. Plenty of towels. We had 16 people and there were plenty. Bring your own shampoo.
We found it charming. All the artwork, nick knacks and decorations were eclectic and interesting. It is an old house so if you are looking for modern and sparkle you should look elsewhere, but if you want charm and space this is a dream.
Craig stopped by (on our request) to pick up the last payment. He doesn't have to as you can get him that payment other ways, however we were glad he did. We were able to ask him questions about the house and get a rundown of its history and the work he has done to make it a wonderful home to stay in. He was charming and you could tell loved this home. We were careful to treat it the same way.
We have come away from this house with wonderful memories. It was plenty big and beautiful if you like Victorian homes. The energy in the home was awesome. Craig was wonderful to work with. It has been a couple weeks and we are still talking about it . we highly recommend this home.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The home was well appointed and we had everything we needed for hosting a party.
Across the street is Clifford Park for viewing the White Mountains, the ocean with miles of gorgeous hiking/biking trails through granite quarries, and cascading waterfalls. Located 30 minutes from Portland or Ogunquit, 15 minutes from Old Orchard Beach or Kennebunkport, and six minutes from beaches of Fortunes Rocks or Biddeford Pool. The nature conservancy at Biddeford Pool is a terrific vantage point for offshore islands, a lighthouse, and the White Mountains hovering above Old Orchard Beach. The Saco River public boat launch is a mile away, as are kayak rentals for exploring the spectacular Saco River. Boston is a one-and-one-half-hour drive or can be reached via the Amtrak Downeaster. The downtown historic districts of Biddeford or Saco and the train terminal are a delightful ten-minute walk. A recent influx of development has spawned new cafes and ethnic restaurants. The "Museum on the Streets" self-guided walking tour provides background on area history and architecture.

Would this tractor work for small food plots? I'm in a situation of going halves with my parents on a new lawn mower. It has to be new, has to be John Deere, and has to be able to mow lawn for them to chip in.
Please share opinions, or recommend me something else from Deere. I actually would be ok if I could find a mower bigger then 62", but not bigger then 72".

It's time to brush up on the latest accessory trends for Fall 2013, so one doesn't get behind. As many people would have been busy working off the pounds this summer, one of the more popular accessories this year is belts. One might be surprised that belts have many unique and interesting styles. Here are some of the best kinds to get:
- Double belts
- Thin belts
- Shining bright
Another type of belt to consider is the authentic Louis Vuitton Pochette Santure Belt. This one handles a dual purpose of a stylish belt and pochette. Now go riding on a bike this fall will be easier than in the past as you have no need for any extra bag to carry.
Not only does it look good and will withstand all types of weather it is functional for uses and allows a woman to remain hands free. The waist belt bag is crafted in Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas. The waist pouch is further enhanced by its inside trimming of natural cowhide leather.
This pre-owned Louis Vuitton fanny belt can fit all according to desired size via its leather waist belt. It will sit comfortably on the hip or waist.
Wearing the used Louis Vuitton waist bag has a front flap pocket that closes shut with a gold tone snap. The Louis Vuitton Pochette Santure belt has plenty of room to hold some money and cards. It is completely lined in grainy leather.
An authentic Louis Vuitton Pochette Santure Belt can be the perfect walking or biking companion but will do just as well in any casual wear situation.

Matching ColorsMature
"Arabella!" Peter, my best friend screamed running into my loft.
"Peter!" I said, setting down my flat iron.
"Guess what girly?" He said with sly smile. I rolled my eyes and counted to stringed my blonde hair, trying to tame it's curls.
"Well, first, I brought you this to where to my house after the ball drops." I looked up. He brought me cloths, that jerk. I hate clothes.
He tossed me a pair of jeans a red and blue stripped sweater. I looked up from the clothes in hand and frowned. He smiled.
"Go put it on." He motioned to my bathroom and sat down on my hot pink and purple bean bag.
"Do you think Leo thinks we are dating? Cause your always over here being me stuff." I said with a laugh. He rolled his eyes and picked up my laptop.
"Appovelrel?" I asked five minutes later, after bruising my teeth. Peter looked up and smiled.
"That does wonder for your bod. Only, your music sucks." He said, going thourgh my play lists. "Really? Rod Stewart? And then you have Katy Perry, you make me sick."
I gave him a slight smile and took my laptop from him. Peter ran his hands though his black hair and pulled the back of the sweater he got me.
"Didn't you notice we all match?" He said.
"And how am I suppose to do that? It's not like I can watch them in my mind..and if I could, I WOULD NOT because I would not want to watch Leo get changed. No offense or anything."
At the moment, my little sister, Ella, walked in the room. She was a very pretty thing, taking the looks of the family. Golden hair, blue eyes and tiny. Not that I was tiny, but she was.
"Hey Ell." Peter said, folding his arm across his chest.
"Hi Peter." Ella was fourteen and somehow apart of my group of friends. She sat down on my bed and played with her hair. She also had on red and blue. How didn't I know this idea?
"Peter, good job. Ara looks decent for once." Peter laughed at my expense then shut his month.
"Thank you. Now, deer, where did you get that shirt?" She smiled.
"Hollister." I frowned. I hated that store. Over priced. I could go and buy a shirt like that at plates closet for less then a piece of tape you would buy there.
"How much did you spend?" I asked, taking her braid and brushing it out.
"Sixty dollars." I gasp.
"Good deal." Peter said with a smile.
"NOT!" I said, running my flat iron over a piece of her light blonde hair. "Why would you spend so much, Ella Frances?" I asked.
"Mom let me." I sighed. Mom loved to buy clothes that could feed a family of four for a week.
"Ara, you should let her spend the money she gets for clothes how she wants to." Said a voice coming from know where.
"Hi Emma." Ara said. "Ouch, you burnt my ear." Ella complained.
"That wouldn't happened if you didn't keep talking. Your done." I un-plugged my flat iron and took back into the bathroom.
"So, Emma, how did you find out about the color scheme?" I said noticing the navy blue shirt with a red scarf and head bend.
"The website." She answered, taking my Ipod from Peter, who listening to Katy Perry and switched it to Bulletproof.
"We have a website?" I asked.
"Yeah." Ella answered, walking into my huge closet.
"Since when?" I asked.
"Since I made one." Ashton, my older brother answered. He came into the room shirtless. That's Ashton for ya. Shirtless.
"He didn't followed the color scheme!" I yelled at Peter.
"Yes he did. I picked the shirt myself." I sighed and sat down next to Emma.
"Only Peter could pull this off." I mumbled.

Paige - Welcome
I looked at the young lady again, probably still in her teens as her words slowly sunk in. I couldn't hear her heart beat, she was pale and able to see us in the middle of a moonless night. The fact she was a Vampire was obvious then, but I hadn't seen her before in a Guardian meeting. She could be a killer, but even if she was, she seemed sane enough to listen to Adeline's preaching. I glanced sideways as Rosalina picked up the bleeding girl, keeping her neck far away from her face. I made a mental note to get some blood sacks from my house on the way back just to be on the safe side.
"Your name?" I asked in a friendly voice.
"Kaya," she answered, and her posture relaxed a bit.
"This here is Rosalinda, and I'm Paige. If you want to know any more I'm gonna need to bring you to Adeline, she the top honcho and will tell you everything you want to know."

Work From Home? Are You A Slob?
Seems that we can think of LOTS of advantages of working from home, but here are a few disadvantages we didn't really consider.

WORKING WORLD: Shameful Eating Habits of People Who Work From Home
If you work from home, you have the luxury of not having to commute to your job.
And, you have the luxury of not having to leave your office at lunchtime and drive to a restaurant for food.
Well, sometimes this isn't a luxury because working from home means you can just walk to your refrigerator and eat terribly.
Here are some shameful eating habits of people who work from home:
- You eat by the handful – Who needs silverware when you have a hand with fingers on it?
- Eating over the sink to conserve dishes – This is just slightly less dignified than eating off of a paper towel.
- Protein bars are meals – No muss, no fuss … as long as you end up throwing the wrapper away.
- Your coffee is usually cold or microwaved – People who actually travel to the office stop at Starbucks along the way and always have a pot of hot coffee available for them in the break room.
- Cleanliness is a low priority – Your house is a mess. Who cares? It's YOUR house and there's no boss around to tell you to clean up. Unless you're married, of course.

And if you play for they you get all your gear free, so he had about 30 of these sticks and then decited to change his curve. He is probably going to get drafted in the late first early second round this June.
So im happy with my new 87 flex Malkin curve bauer x60.
Anyone else get any sweet deals you would like to share?
I'm sure that guy appreciates you advertising that he is selling off his sticks that USA hockey gave him. While it probably isn't uncommon, it is also something I am sure USA hockey doesn't condone. I'm glad you got a good deal and I am glad this kid got 50 bucks in his pocket but probably shouldn't go posting this on the internet.

Do You Know How Much Money You Have Right Now?
Online banking and smartphone apps have made it easy to check your available balance. But, is that an accurate reflection of how much money you actually have? It wasn't that long ago that everyone balanced their chequebook. Credits and withdrawals were examined regularly, receipts were recorded, and cheques were registered. Now, some people have never tracked their finances at that level. And that can lead to trouble. If you don't KNOW how much money you actually have, here's why you should find out.
Overdraft Fees
Many banks offer overdraft coverage as if they are doing you a favour. They advertise it as a layer of security, and as a convenience for you. However, the second you cross into overdraft territory, they tack on overdraft fees. And you aren't charged just once. Every time you spend money at a new location, a new charge magically appears. Sometimes, you can have a few charges register before you even realize you went over.
Most people assume that every time they use their debit card that the funds are automatically removed from their account at that specific moment. However, this is not always true. Some transactions process immediately, but others may be delayed. Often, this depends on how the retailer is set to transmit the data. If they don't transmit every purchase immediately, your online balance may not be accurate. By staying on top of how much money you have actually spent, you can avoid spending you don't have. Therefore, you will avoid these aggressive overdraft fees.
Declined Sales
Having a card purchase declined can be embarrassing, and inconvenient. Whether you are in line with an armload of groceries, looking to purchase some petrol, or need to pay your restaurant tab before you leave, coming up short can cause problems. While a restaurant may not have you arrested for an honest mistake, you are at their mercy. At a store, you will be forced to leave your purchase behind.
All of this can be avoided by properly tracking your bank balance.
Bounced Cheque Fees
In some cases, a retailer will charge a fee if a cheque fails to clear. The cheque clearing system can take a few days to complete. This means, that a cheque you write today may not result in an actual payment until a few business days later. If you do not account for these funds, and continue spending money based on the balance you believe you have, your cheque may not clear. Not only can this lead to a charge by the retailer, it may prevent you from being able to write cheques there again. And, if the bank does honour the cheque, you will likely be charged an overdraft fee.
Know Your Balance, Avoid the Pain
All of the aforementioned hardships can be avoided by simply tracking your spending. It will also help you stay aware of your spending habits, and could help you budget more effectively. Instead of relying solely on your mobile app or online bank account, take the time to track what you spend. It can save you a world of trouble.

Are these the Top 50 most influential gadgets of all time?
Our lives are filled with gadgets of all shapes and sizes that improve the quality of life through sheer convenience, many of which we take for granted on a daily basis.
Finding the good in a failed product can be difficult at the time but in hindsight, it's those same products that often serve as precursors to existing technology. In this article, we will be profiling nine such ideas that were conceived and brought to market well before their time.
While some weren't exactly failures, most were – and all are responsible for playing a role in current devices or services that make our lives more comfortable and enjoyable.
There isn't a week that goes by where we don't hear about how the rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets are displacing other technology segments. For many folks, a competent high-end handset can comfortably replace various portable media players, dedicated gaming handhelds...

You'll find that managing your money well will make your experience of studying abroad much more enjoyable. Managing your budget is part of becoming independent. It will also help you get used to the currency and local shops.
You'll use pound sterling (£GBP) while you're here. One pound is divided into one hundred pence (100p). Notes are issued to the value of £50, £20, £10, and £5. Coins to the value of £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p. Scotland has its own bank notes, which are legal tender across the UK.
Bring enough cash for the first couple of weeks while we help you open a bank account - no more than about £250. It's best not to carry around large amounts of cash. It's much safer to use a debit, credit or cash card, with a four-digit PIN (personal identification number).
You'll find that credit and debit cards are widely accepted in the UK, particularly MasterCard (Access) and Visa. Diners Club and American Express are less commonly accepted.
You can withdraw money from a cash machine (also known as an 'ATM' or cash point) if you have a PIN for that card. Carrying smaller notes will make it easier to pay shops, restaurants, hotels and taxis.
You'll need to plan for the cost of living in the UK before you arrive. On average, a student needs about £800 per month to cover their basic living expenses. But, that can vary a lot depending on where you live in the UK and your spending habits. Start planning your finances using the International Student Calculator.
We recommend having a bank account to manage your money in the UK. Especially if you are staying here longer than six months.
Many UK banks offer bank accounts for international students, but they can sometimes take a few weeks to set up. You may want to find a bank in your home country that has branches in the UK, such as HSBC or Barclays.
We'll help you open a bank account in your first week. You'll need this to store and access your money safely. Don't forget to bring documents with you - usually two types of picture ID (passport and student ID card), proof of your UK mailing address and money to open the account.
Once your bank account is setup, you'll be able to withdraw cash from 24-hour ATMs (cash machines) around campus and the city.
Some countries have strict rules about transferring money to UK bank accounts. Be sure to familiarize yourself with your government's policies.
It's not easy for international students to get a credit card in the UK so we recommend applying for a credit card in your home country. VISA and MasterCard are the most widely accepted.
UKCISA offer further advice on opening bank accounts in the UK.

Dear Emily
Dear Emily,
These past sixteen years being you have been pretty good. I mean, they've had their ups and downs. But lately, there's been more downs. Now, don't get me wrong, we have had a lot of fun together, but I think it's time for me to move on. You've got too much baggage and too much pain, and I just can't help you through it anymore. I think it's time we finally part ways.
What we had was fun, but now it's ended and I don't think we can ever get that back. Things started going downhill when you went anorexic. You should have known what that was going to do. And then when DJ broke up with you, things went even further downhill. I know you never did hurt yourself, but those knives sure were tempting. I remember hearing you cry and scream over everything you were going through, from the anorexia to the almost cutting.
And then when things had started to level back out, you messed them up again. And thanks to Jake and Sam, things got even worse. I remember how tempting suicide was. But I would't let you go through with that. And you didn't. When you needed comfort, I did my best. And when I couldn't comfort, there was Katelyn, Alana, Mandi, Ashely, and Scott.
You liked the way Scott comforted you. You always liked being in his arms. You still do. And that one afternoon when he kissed you, you loved that. But then you got confused. And you still are. You want to be more than friends with Scott, and he used to feel the same way. You didn't know if he still did. And now sometimes thinking of him hurts, like you're being stabbed. You're just confused about him, but just go ahead and let him go.
I really did enjoy all our time together, that's not a lie. But what is is me saying I still want to be you. But after you get things sorted out, look me up, I'll be glad to stop by and chat.
Used to be yours,

Abreu, deGrom win Rookie of the Year honors
By Larry Fine
(Reuters) - Chicago White Sox slugging first baseman Jose Abreu and New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom won Rookie of the Year honors in their respective leagues in voting results announced on Monday.
Abreu, 27, was a unanimous choice for the American League award capturing all 30 first-place votes for 150 points from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
DeGrom, 26, won with 26 first-place votes of 31 cast in a decisive victory over Cincinnati Reds speedster Billy Hamilton, who received the other five top votes.
Abreu proved himself a bona fide slugger after signing as a free agent from Cuba last year, belting 36 home runs, driving in 107 runs and logging a strong .317 batting average.
"Two years ago when I was in Cuba, I wasn't dreaming about this," Abreu said through a translator in a conference call.
Abreu, who showed promise playing for Cuba in the World Baseball Classic, became the first rookie to rank in the top five in each Triple Crown category -- home runs, runs batted in and batting average.
"I'm still the humble kid who came here to play. Nothing changes," Abreu said.
It marked the second successive year a Cuban-born player won rookie honors following Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez. Continued...

Waking up
The song reasonates in your ear. It causes you to open your eyes, to shut the noise off. However it causes you to reach out and spill that glass of water you left behind to take your meds all over you and the pillow. Drenching your partner and you.
You open your eyes, await the scream from you partner as she to awakens from the dream. She glares at you, and snarls,"You!"
To which you respond."Well, you asked to get up with me. Did you not?"
"You. You!"
"You are a you, you. I am a me. Me!" I declare as she throws a pillow at me, it gets me in the head. this an act of war. I declare, throwing the drenched pillow at her.\
She shrieks. Storms off of the bed, to get her cloths on and realizes Its six thirty in the morning. She looks at me as though I must have lost my mind, or it has been addled. One or the other. Saying, "No one in their righht mind has to get up at this hour anytime of day or night. But you?"
To which I say, You are a you and I am a me! I have to get a goat herding license. To have you here.|
"What do you mean, by that. And I know, I am a you?"
"Simple, I can not have ewe in my apartment without one can. Also I have to brand you?"
"BRand me. What do you mean, Brand me."
"Just what I said, so one steals you. I do not want yopu breeding with the neighbours, do I?"
"See here?"
"Well do I?"
"If I want too..." than she stops right there, looks at me and sees a smile on my mug.
I crack up and laugh happily. "Got you?"

As an update to the Ike Davis and 2012 fatigue discussion from Wednesday, here is an update from Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, who spoke to Ike Davis today at Port St. Lucie: Ike Davis publicly portrayed his diagnosis of valley fever last February as a non-issue, insisting it was giving him no problems and was a latent case at worst. In reality, Davis confessed Friday, he would retreat home after Mets workouts last spring training and retire to his couch because of exhaustion. He feels far more energy now, he added. "I had to limit a lot of things last year as far as workload," Davis said. "I didn't have a beer all of spring training last year. I went home and laid on the couch. And I usually fish for another six hours every day after Mets workouts. I didn't say anything to anybody, besides maybe the trainers." Read Rubin's entire interview here. I'm expecting great things from Ike Davis this season. You know, the more I think about it, even when Davis got into that great groove in t...

Den is bereft, neglected and hopelessly depressed. With the flash of a blade and the swish of a blue cloak he has lost everything he ever loved. Can he live on through an eternity of blue November? What can save him? Revenge, elegant Deanna Macpherson, the man in the suit, the man with the steel-grey eyes, the cross on the green hill, escaping from perpetual rain, sunny Shani, a golden cross on a chain? They have all tried and failed. There is only one possibility remaining... Destiny.
And so I sit here in the gutter outside my house.
I am dry-eyed with focussed self-pity, but I am very, very angry; as I sit here, here in the gutter in the drizzle.
I keep seeing it happen, again and again. The flash of a blade, the cursed crimson of blood, the swish of blue as my sister's murderer takes to flight, and my sister there on the boards in a growing pool of red paint, though some instinct tells me that is not paint, a cruel knife in her chest.
I kneel beside her, hysterical, but she is dead and I cry out to curse the blue cloak that did this; then I am sitting here in a puddle in the street with my bare feet on the wet cobbles. And I stare into oblivion, willing my sister alive with the miraculous spirit I haven't got. She is gone, and life is as black as the ace of spades.
Then as I sit here I have a vision, of me, the unseen son of helpless, grief-stricken parents. Vere alone had faith in me. Now no one has.

Nightshade's POVMature
nightshade sighed, she knew that Balisong already knew the answer, where one went the other followed, it was their code, an unbroken rule, a pact they always kept no matter what. She smiled and said the only thing she could.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, Song," I followed Song up the pathway, she got annoyed if a called her Bal, so it was Song, for her it was Nightshade or Night, since i hated my first name.
We walked up to the door the house was large and old, I wanted to run, but the thing was I wasn't sure where to, I thought I wanted to go away from the building, but I couldn't help but fell attracted to it. We stood in front of the house.
"well come on Night, knock on the door," why me?
"OK, I'm gonna." I knocked on the door.
It opened at my first knock, the room we saw was dusty, it would be beautiful if not for the dust that covered it, the walls were cream, and matched the red carpet , there was a grand staircase that led onto the next floor, and soft pictures on the walls. In the middle of the room was a table made of dark wood it was the only thing not covered in dust, on it were 3 things, firstly were 2 keys, one was small and delicate, it looked so breakable, I was scared to be near it, the other was thicker and darker, at the top was a flower, both were silver, and shone brightly. The last item on the table was a letter, we looked at each other, we weren't telepathic, we couldn't read each others minds, but we knew what the other was thinking.
Lets open it.... Balisong, reached for the letter.

While ECO daydreams about cycling along the Rhine into the sunset, the EU seems confused about how cycles move us forward. On one hand, the EU supports stock-takes of mitigation ambition in 5-year cycles. But on the other, it's against synchronising commitment periods with these 5-year cycles, and has no 2025 target.

Hide Away
This poem is based off of the many walks/ adventures I have had with my friends from a variety of experiences.
Follow me while time is nigh;
Keep up if able, dare you try.
In the thicket, through the muck,
Past the rocked shaped as a duck
Your hand in mine, just you and me,
We prance around just wicked free.
We search for treasure, if we may,
To our secret hide away
Where rocks are diamonds, leaves are gold,
Delightful antiqueties of old.
Sunshine fades, the moon glows silver
We run and play in complex fever
Just you and me tonight it seems,
Hiding in our youthful dreams.

Bengals C Kyle Cook has significant foot injury
Associated Press | Last updated August 28, 2012
Bengals center Kyle Cook has a foot injury that could sideline him for the season, another setback to Cincinnati's offensive line in the preseason. Cook got hurt during a preseason game on Thursday night against Green Bay. He initially thought it was only a sprained ankle, but tests found more significant damage. Cook was wearing a protective boot on his right foot on Tuesday. He said he could be sidelined for a few weeks or possibly the entire season. The Bengals already have lost left guard Travelle Wharton for the season with a knee injury. Their backup at center is rookie Trevor Robinson, signed as an undrafted free agent from Notre Dame. He played guard in high school and college, but the Bengals moved him to center during training camp.

ABILENE, Texas (AP) Jamie Meyer scored 49 points to help Abilene Christian overcome a 63-point effort by Renee Renz and beat Texas Woman's 147-143 in quadruple overtime on Monday night in a record-setting game.
The Division II schools combined to break the NCAA record for points in a game of 261 set by St. Joseph's (Ind.) and Northern Kentucky in 1988. The 143 points by Texas Woman's broke the NCAA record for most points by the losing team. The 112 points the two teams scored in the overtimes also was an NCAA record as was Abilene Christian's 58 in overtime.
"It was one of those games you hate for either team to lose because both teams had nothing left at the end of the game," Abilene Christian coach Shawna Lavender said. "We just caught some breaks late and had some key block outs. I'm proud of them for hanging in there."
Renz did all she could, setting a Lone Star Conference-record 63 points. Her total equaled the third most ever in Divsion II history and easily eclipsed the school record of 42 set by Peggy Allen in 1989.
Renz was 22-of-36 from the field and 15-of-17 from the free throw line. She also had 15 rebounds.
"I was just doing everything I could to keep us in the game," said Renz in a postgame interview. "I knew I was playing well, but I honestly had no idea that I was scoring that many points. We really wanted to beat this team (ACU) and I was giving it everything I had."
It wasn't Lavender's first four overtime thriller. She scored 42 points for SMU when the Mustangs beat TCU 127-125 in 1997.
Meyer hit 22-of-30 from the field and all four of her free throws. She also had 14 rebounds and two blocked shots. Kristee Davidson came off the bench to play 54 minutes and scored 28 points.
Audrey Maxwell-Lively, Abilene Christian's leading scorer, fouled out in the first overtime, finishing with 18 points and Kelsey Darby scored 15.
Tiandrea Dixon had 23 points and 12 assists for Texas Woman's (7-4). Megan Hashman added 17, including a jumper with 38 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 89. Maxwell-Lively missed a jumper as time ran out.
Renz hit a free throw to tie it at 102-102 with 22 seconds left in the first overtime. Hashman kept it going again in the second overtime with a jumper to tie the game at 118-118. The Wildcats had chances at the end of the first two overtimes to win but couldn't get their shots to fall. Jessica Hanna's jumper as time ran out in the third overtime kept Texas Woman's in the game.
Renz tied the game at 139-139 with 1:10 left in the fourth overtime, but Abilene Christian (8-4) used an 8-4 run to win the game.
Lavender said there were two keys to the win after Maxwell-Lively fouled out. "(Jody) Meyer's defense on Renz in the overtime and Jamie (Meyer) just seemed to hit every shot she took."

Trinnean: Meeting my Master.
Halfway down the dusty road to the Main City of the Eighth Kingdom, I remembered I left that old man's horse by the gate. I glared at nothing inparticular becuase I realised that it would have been much easier to get around on horseback.
I carried on giving a angry stare to my surroundings.
Boom. I jumped and raised my arms. I sighed when I saw it was me who created the 'boom' noise. This is why I hate being near people. I end up staring them to death(no pun intended!!), which usually was bad for my part.
'Trinnean! My dear boy!' A happy voice cried out from a small hut to the side of the road.
'Master!' I yelled, beaming at him. I pulled down my hood and ran over to him. I didn't expect his. . .house to be such a short distance from the gate.
'So it was you coming this way. I thought it could have been the giant.'He smiled.
'Master, how many times do I have to tell you? There is no giant! You crazy old coot!' I snickered, smiling back at him. This is the only person who didn't take me for a monster. He trained me and taught me how to control these strange powers that were bistowed upon me.
'Ah! Trinnean, you mustn't stare at my handsome face for too long!' He said, mockly scared, covering his face with his hands.
'Don't get too witty, old man, you'll get too confident and try to steal ale again.' I said, grinning at the memory.
'I wont make that mistake again.' He glowered, 'and anyway, how long are you staying this time?'
'I have no idea. 'Cause, you see, I only came to eighth kingdom because you summoned me. I have no idea why I'm here, Master.'
'It's something I've been meaning to tell you since you were seven, when you first gained your powers.' He said slowly.
'Yes? Yes?' I said impatiently.
'Trinnean, you know that your parents died, I've told you that many times before. But one thing I didn't tell you was that when your father died, he handed down his position as the Destruction Sage to his only child. You.' He said in a voice that was careful not to make me socked, angry or angry.
'The. . . Destruction Sage...?' I snorted. 'I accept, does that mean I can fight others without getting in trouble?'
'Trinnean! You must NOT abuse your position, it's very important! Also, you must go to another house. It's just beyond the gate. A old women lives there, her name is Sherly and I believe that the Sages are gathering. You must join forces with the Sage or Sages that are at Sherly's house and find the other Sages.'
I raised an eyebrow, 'Master, I don't work well with others.'
'Stop moaning and go! I'll see you soon, my boy. I promise.'He mumbled, stroking his beard.
'But I want to stay here! Train me some more!' I whined. I know I was acting like a child but I hadn't seen my master in ages.
'Go! Or I will hit you with my stick!' Master threatened jokingly, raising his wooden staff.
'I'm going! I'm going!'I laughed, 'thankyou, Master. For telling me. I will go and find the other Sages.'
He smiled tenderly and patted my head. He then pushed my shoulder, 'go on then! Be off with you!'
I grinned and jogged away. I never listen to other people. I hate having company and I hate being around people unless it's to fight. My Master is the only person in the whole wide world who I respect more than myself.

Roy Williams is sporting a beard these days.
It's one of those hairy things hockey players grow for the playoffs. The beard is a symbol that it's time to start working harder because there's a goal within reach. Time for the grind.
It's only April, but Williams -- the Cowboys' much maligned, much analyzed wide receiver -- is grinding.
He's working at Valley Ranch in the offseason program with quarterback Tony Romo.
Williams and Romo are trying to find chemistry.
In two seasons, Williams and Romo don't have it.
In the last two seasons (including five games with the Detroit Lions), Williams has just 1,026 receiving yards.
That ranks him 73rd in the NFL.
Last season, Williams was targeted just 86 times in 15 games, tied for 62nd in the NFL. It seems unacceptable that Williams, who is the sixth-highest-paid receiver in the game with an average salary of $9 million a year, is viewed so lightly in the Cowboys' offense.
"I'm happy for a fresh start," Williams told ESPN Dallas on Saturday at a celebrity basketball game in Austin, Texas. "I'm glad that season is over with. I wished we would have won it all, but I'm a team guy first. I don't care about my stats, but at the same time I didn't contribute and I didn't do jack crap last year. I point the finger at me and then at the same time I didn't get many opportunities, so I think if I get more opportunities I can make the plays. It goes back on me."
Williams remains stunned by how the 2009 season ended in the Metrodome. The Cowboys didn't call a single play for Williams in the NFC divisional playoff loss to the Vikings and only one pass was thrown his way.
"That all goes back to me," Williams said. "If I'm not doing my job on the field, you're not going to have a big role. I didn't have a [call] in Minnesota and I had the third and fourth corner on me ... that told me a lot. But at the same time, I have to do my job."
It might seem that Jerry Jones, the man who signs the checks around here, would want a refund on the trade that sent three draft picks to Detroit, including a first-rounder, for Williams.
Instead, Jones and coach Wade Phillips want more from Williams.
They want to get him the ball.
Jones denies there's a trust issue between Williams, Romo and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. Funny thing about trust: Actions speak louder than words. How in the world can you explain not throwing more than one or two passes to Williams in a playoff game?
For that matter, how can you explain Miles Austin surpassing Williams as the Cowboys' primary receiving threat?
Austin is just better?
Williams is no good?
Jones said Williams got double-covered enough times to open the door for Austin to make some plays. Austin was tied with tight end Jason Witten with 124 target throws last year. Austin was third in the league in yards per game at 82.5 and third with 613 yards after the catch.
What about Williams? He averaged 39.7 yards per game, 64th in the league. Williams also had just 92 yards after the catch, 214th in the league.
So how can Jones and Phillips depend on Williams in 2010?
"He demonstrated last year a really impressive work ethic," Jones said recently. "He demonstrated a very [strong] persistence in the face of adversity, in the face of high expectations and lower perceived performance than expectations. He demonstrated a will to keep going, keep working, having some faith his time will come, his catches will come."
Will they?
On Good Friday, the Cowboys cut left tackle Flozell Adams and safety Ken Hamlin. Adams was stunned by the news, Hamlin not so much. But it was a reality check that the Cowboys have decided they're not playing with underachieving players.
"The thing that bothers me is that people say, 'Hey, are you still on the Cowboys? Hey, are you coming back next year?'" Williams said.
"But that comes with the territory. When you don't contribute or play up to your standards, you will get those questions."

Cigarettes and CoffeeMature
he was struggling with addiction, she was struggling with keeping a facade. They were cigarettes and coffee- bad for you, but completely addictive.
"Where are you headed," she asked him, taking a sip of hot coffee.
She didn't expect him to answer her back, and he didn't want to answer her back. But for some reason, he did so anyways.
"Chicago," he muttered softly, taking a deep drag off of his cigarette, "you?"
She smiled lightly, "Arizona."

Poverty strikes at home, children first victims

An increase in poverty-related illnesses and "Third World diseases" among Christchurch children is worrying health professionals and community workers.
Skin conditions such as scabies and ringworm are cropping up at city medical centres and primary schools as hundreds of families continue to live in overcrowded, damp homes almost two years after the Canterbury earthquakes.
In 2011, there were almost 38,000 hospital admissions for children with poverty-related medical conditions nationwide, and more than 230,000 children are now living in poverty, The Children's Social Health Monitor says.
Some children are being sent home from school with contagious infections, and health professionals fear low-income families are shying away from medical treatment because they cannot even afford food.
The problem appears to have hit the city's Maori and Pacific Island communities hardest.
Cathie Morton, chief executive of Linwood's Piki Te Ora Health Centre, said she had seen a rise in scabies and poverty-related illnesses in children.
Diseases such as impetigo, respiratory disorders, bronchiolitis, scabies and sudden infant death syndrome were prevalent among families living in overcrowded homes, and it was the children or the elderly who suffered first, she said.
Te Puawaitanga Ki Otautahi Trust general manager Suzi Clarke said the trust's eight community outreach nurses had seen a "noticeable" increase in skin conditions among children in the past year.
"Scabies, head lice, asthma and those types of illnesses are a real concern at the moment."
Pacific Island Evaluation registered social worker and trauma counsellor To'alepai Louella Thomsen-Inder said many families were "still living in Third World conditions that I have only ever seen in Samoa".
Thomsen-Inder often visited clients at home and said that in the past six months she had seen an increase in the number of families living in squalor with seriously sick children.
She knew of a family of 15 living in a five-bedroom house where the children crawled around on mouldy carpet and had rashes on their arms and legs.
She had also seen children held back from school with scabies and ringworm scabs on their necks.
Communal living within Maori and Pacific communities often exacerbated poverty-related illnesses, she said.
Aranui Primary School principal Mike Allen said scabies, school sores and head lice were "anecdotally getting worse".
Jo Barlow, principal of Aranui's St James School, had also seen a rise in scabies.
Pre-earthquake, the disease was uncommon, but in the past two years at least five families had contracted it, she said.
Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) chief of child health, Nicola Austin, said hospital admissions for children suffering from poverty-related illnesses had not increased.
However, healthcare for children under 6 was free and medical centres would often treat respiratory illnesses and skin conditions rather than the hospital.
Christchurch Hospital had seen a slight rise in bronchiolitis and respiratory infections, but the board did not record whether an illness was a direct cause of impoverished conditions, so she could not link the rise to poverty.
Austin is also chairwoman of the CDHB-supported child and youth work stream and said some members had anecdotally reported concerns about overcrowding and poor-quality homes.
Poverty-related illness in children was "definitely" a concern and would be discussed by the work stream this year, she said.
Partnership Health Canterbury community liaison manager Donna Ellen said some families with children over 6 could not afford medical treatment or transport to get to GP appointments.
"We see people every day who don't have adequate means to get by day to day," she said.
"We are seeing people whose health is being compromised because it becomes a secondary thing when you don't have enough food."
The Government established the Canterbury Earthquake Temporary Accommodation Service (Cetas) after the February earthquake to help people find affordable accommodation.
Housing New Zealand announced this month up to 5000 earthquake-damaged Housing NZ homes in Christchurch will be repaired or rebuilt by 2015.
The agency's plans include repairing or rebuilding about 5000 homes within the next three years, with 2000 of those being repaired in the next 12 months.
It also plans to build up to 700 homes in the city by December 2015.
A 22-month-old toddler living in a cold and damp Christchurch state house had to be taken to hospital three times in one year for bronchiolitis.
Samoan mother Loreta, 27, who did not want her surname used, sat in a musty, dark bedroom juggling her twin daughters and 5-month-old son as she spoke of her fears for her children's health this winter.
One of the twins, Shammah, who has had a history of respiratory illnesses, clung to her mother's side, crying.
Loreta, her husband and their three young children moved into the Housing New Zealand (HNZ) home in Hoon Hay in June 2011.
After two months living in the house her twin daughters, Shammah and Shaddai, were admitted to Christchurch Hospital for bronchiolitis at 10 weeks old.
Shaddai was kept overnight but Shammah spent three weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit and wound up back in hospital twice more for the same illness that year.
The three-bedroom house has one heat pump, and Loreta said the carpets were damp and mouldy when they moved in.
She scavenged pieces of carpet from a nearby firm's scrap heap before she allowed her children to crawl on the floor, but Loreta believes the "smelly, old carpet and cold house" landed her children in hospital.
Shammah has had health problems ever since and her infections often spread to her twin sister and brother Tsidkenu.
The family of five sleep in the same room for warmth and because Loreta feels it is not safe for her children to sleep on their own.
Last winter, the children came down with the flu together about five times, and Loreta's husband, who works fulltime cleaning crates, had to take time off to help her care for the children.
"When they all get sick together it can be a real handful. It's a lot of work and a lot of pressure and I don't get much sleep," Loreta said.
The family received Working for Families payments, but by the time rent, bills and loan repayments were deducted, Loreta said, they often struggled to afford food, let alone medication.
If the children needed new winter clothes or medication they would have to borrow the money from the community, she said.
HNZ said Loreta's house was fitted with insulation in 2010 and that it had received no complaints about the property.
"We are always concerned when we hear about potential health and safety issues, and a member of our tenancy services team will visit the tenant," a spokeswoman said.

Baffled? It's hardly surprising. On the one hand, euphoric stock markets, up more than 20% in two months, proclaim the recession is nearly over. On the other, dark stories circulate about the chiefs of the Bank of England worrying that the banking crisis is intensifying. One banker says the banks are back; another that there is no sign of light. One businessmen says he can see green shoots; another that recession is deepening. Whom and what to believe?
The answer is that the situation remains very serious, very fragile, beset by risks. Recovery, when it comes, may not bring much in terms of new jobs and rising production. The threat of a Great Depression may be receding (but that's by no means absolutely certain) but this is hardly reassuring, the new prospect being a worldwide Great Recession. After all, shares two months ago were valued more cheaply than in October 1940 when there were fears of a German invasion. Now stock markets think the threat has receded, but only to a state of mass unemployment and protracted economic stagnation. Some relief, but hardly an occasion for wild celebration.
On the plus side, markets have been reassured that governments will underwrite their stricken banking systems, a commitment made at the London G20 summit. Interbank markets worldwide are less stressed. Some of the sickening drops in production in Japan and elsewhere at the turn of the year were because retailers and distributors around the world were meeting lower demand from their stocks. That period of "destocking" is coming to a close; orders are beginning to be placed at factories again. That is reflected in less pessimistic surveys of business confidence and reports that the pace of decline is easing.
On top of this, as I have written a number of times, it would be very extraordinary if the British economy did not stabilise given the scale of the stimulus it is receiving. Interest rates at 0.5%, a deep devaluation, a budget deficit of 12% of GDP, along with the Bank of England printing £75bn, injecting it into the financial system (so-called quantitative easing), and announcing plans to print a further £50bn last week, is about as much as can be done to stimulate an economy in recession. We know from other bad recessions – 1929-1931, 1979-1981, – that after 12 to 15 months the worst of the fall begins to ease. That is likely now.
But that is about all one can say with any confidence. The scale of the British stimulus is an acknowledgement of the scale of the unprecedented economic catastrophe. I doubt that the Bank of England embarked on its second round of quantitative easing because it thinks a second British banking crisis is imminent, as some reports suggested yesterday; there would be storm warnings in the interbank markets if it were. Rather, it is acutely concerned, as it should be, that the British financial system is short of hard cash and lending capacity. The risk is that further problems in US or European banks may bring fresh contagion here.
The US government is opting for what Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman dismisses as a policy of "muddling through", largely because Obama knows that winning more cash as "welfare" for bankers will be almost impossible to get through Congress. The compromise deal announced last week in Washington over how much money American banks had to raise to stay solvent was the barest minimum. Everybody has to hope it is enough.
European governments are even more complacent. The German financial markets last week were rife with rumours that undeclared losses of nearly a trillion dollars meant the German banking system is bust. France's is in no better shape. You might hope that other government were urgently dealing with toxic debts and being as aggressive as the Bank of England in printing money and injecting cash into their systems to reduce the risk of a further round of bank runs and bail-outs. No chance.
All this is worrying for Britain for two reasons. The first is that any British recovery depends upon world recovery; the more that is at risk from banking crises elsewhere, the greater the chance of a second round of bank runs caused by confidence collapsing overseas and the more protracted our recession. The second is that we allowed our economy to be dependent upon overseas banks for supplies of credit – £700bn a year by 2007.
Crippled foreign banks are being forced by their governments to lend in their home countries as a priority. Our banks have to close the gap and they don't have the capacity. For example, the FT manufacturing barometer for April showed a further decline; lack of credit is freezing the supply chain and procurement process with companies terrified that buyers don't have the cash to complete purchases. It is a form of bank run, but between manufacturers. Production falls, the worst since records began in 1968, are accelerating.
What is needed urgently is more bank capacity. We need to create a network of public/private banks to support industrial and infrastructure investment and we need a wholesale transformation in the short-term, risk-averse way in which British banks have treated manufacturing companies for more than a century. Instead, we were treated last week to an ultra-complacent report on UK financial services by the chancellor and Sir Win Bischoff, former chair of Citigroup. The City needed more regulation to regain trust, it conceded, but then, as if the last 18 months had not happened, the government's job was to back the financial services industry as it stands, incapable as it is of supplying credit to British industry. Sir Win even complained about the City having to suffer extra taxes, as the government struggles to close its prospective £175bn deficit because of the very credit crunch the City has caused.
This is the heart of the problem. Today's recession promises to be as severe as that of 1929-1931, as the National Institute of Economic and Social Research warned last week. Recovery then was the result of a determined intervention in the banking system and wider economy that has insufficient echo today. Where is the equivalent of the Bankers' Industrial Development Corporation that spearheaded support for manufacturing in the 1930s? British banks were cajoled into supporting new industries and restructuring old ones. Ramsay MacDonald and Stanley Baldwin would never have put their names to a report like Bischoff's.
Nor was that all. The government swung behind key industries even before the war so that between 1931 and 1950 there was an astonishing industrial renaissance. Whatever today's immediate economic prospects, the prospects for the next decade are sober – a government struggling to get its finances in order against a background of an economy whose consumers, businesses and banks are trying to work off the debts incurred in the heady 2000s.
We need a mindset more like the 1930s – trying to develop our economy, encouraging innovation and insisting our banks serve business. Britain needs to think like a state committed to economic development. We are a long way from that. Hoping for green shoots because the stock market is recovering obscures the scale of financial and industrial restructuring that is needed.
Solving the crisis in the real economy is only just beginning.
