Getting the gang together.
They finally got to Kendal's house and beeped the horn. Kendal was known for being slow. She got ready at the last mintue and took forever. They knew they would be waiting for a couple minutes. They decided to play "name the song" game. Nicole went first.
"Every morning there's a halo hanging by the corner of my girlfriend's four post bed."
"Um, I know it's by Sugar Ray. I can't think of the song...Give me a sec." Christina said.
"Hurry, time is ticking!" Nicole exclaimed.
"OH! I know. Every morning. How could I have been so stupid not to think of that?" Christina stated.
"Ok, it's your turn."
"Ok, um.... How about... So, I got a question? Do you want to have a slumber party in my basement? Do I make your heart beat like a native drum?"
"Oh, this one is easy. Your love is my drug!"
"Good job, oh look it's Kendal. Finally, that girl takes a long darn time."
"Oh I know!"
Kendal was walking towards the car when she tripped and fell. She turned around and there was a black cat. Kendal started wondering to herself about whose cat that was. She thought that it was odd, and she believed in superstitions. She knew now that she was definatly going to have some bad luck. Like things could get any worse for her. Something bad was always happening to her. She got up and picked up her bag. She walked over to the car and got in it safely this time.
"Hey guys nice to see you, we are going to have so much fun! Erik is picking up Lacey and Justin. He told us to just get Ryan and meet him at your house Nicole." Kendal told them.
"Ok, sounds good to me, let's go get Ryan and head to my house. I'm pretty sure I know how to get to his house, I just don't know which one it is. Christina I'll need your help once we get on his street." Nicole responded.
"Ok, no problem."
They backed out of the drive and the black cat jumped onto the hood of Nicole's car. All three girls screamed. The cat scared them so bad.
"Wow, that scared me so bad!" Christina spoke.
"I hear you on that! That black cat should know better, and really should get out of this rain and go home." Nicole said. Even though the cat definatly scared her.
"That cat made me trip out there, on my way to your car. I think it's following me around. I think it's out to get me or something." Kendal said almost crying.
"Kendal, I think your stupid. I think you two just crossed paths and you tripped. I doubt the cat is out to get you. Wow." Christina told her.
"Shut up, you don't know everything. What if it is out to get me? What if by some chance is does something, and I get hurt really bad? Then you will feel sorry." Kendal told her.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Even though I still think you're dumb. I don't think it is. It's just a cat." Christina said back.
"You two stop. You guys act like your sisters. Let's just go get Ryan and meet the gang at my house. Oh, you're not going to believe who I invited...It took me some big guts, but it was worth it." Nicole said excitedly.
"WHO?" They both asked.
"Michael..On the baseball team. And, he agreed to stay the night with us too! YAY! I'm so excited." She could barely say over the laughter.
"Wow, I'm so excited. That's so cool. You are so lucky. He was one fine piece of meat." Christina said.
"He's not meat. You can't eat him. And, you say I'm dumb. But, he is really cute. I'm so happy for you." Kendal said.
"Wow, dummy. I was definatly using a comparison. I know you can't eat him. Wow, your stupid." Christina said.
"Girls, stop it. Don't make me get on you two and put you in the corner when we get home." Nicole said while laughing. The girls laughed too. They put the CD back on. Christina and Kendal argued in the backround. Nicole blocked them out but thought about the two girls. They should be sisters. They were like soul sisters. They liked the same things, finished each others sentences sometimes, and argued all the time. That's definatly sister material. They finally got to Ryan's street.
"That's his house right there. The white and blue one." Christina explained.
Nicole pulled in his driveway and beeped the horn. She stared at his house for a moment. It was painted white with blue shutters. It looked like it was one story. It had a small porch that led right to their front yard. It had a white gate around it. The front yard had a ton of flowers and a tree. It looked like a magical garden. It was simply beautiful. Then something out of the corner Nicole's moved. She caught just a glimpse. She thought it was someone running.
"Did you guys see that?" She asked.
"See what?" They both asked.
"Oh, nothing. The rain must be playing tricks on my eyes." Even though she knew that wasn't true. She knew someone was out there with her. She felt like she was being watched. She couldn't put her finger on it. She knew something didn't feel right though. Just at the second, Ryan interrupted her thoughts. He slammed the door shut.
"Hey, thanks Nicole for picking me up. I let my brother borrow my car."
"Oh, it's no problem. Hey, whose all home?"
"Just me. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was just curious."
She pulled out of his driveway and went to drive down the road when another black cat ran infront of her. She slammed on the brakes. Everyone looked at her.
"What the hell?" Christina and Kendal asked.
"Woah, what's going on?" Ryan questioned.
"Sorry, a black cat ran infront of my car. I had to slam on the brakes so I didn't run it over." Nicole explained.
She let go of the brake and started to drive down the road again. She turned up the radio and let the noise of the girls and Ryan drowned out. She was thinking to herself. She was babbling in her head like normal. She was thinking of the weird things that happened today. The black cats were one example and the other was what did she see? She could've sworn it was someone running. That was just crazy! It was pouring down with rain. I don't see why someone would be running around. Maybe it was just my imagination. That was probably it. I was just spooked from the phone call and then the guy who stopped by for my mom. I was just letting it secretly get to me. Man, I need to relax.
They arrived at her house and saw that her garage light was on. It was the outside one which turns on when someone has been walking near the garage. That's strange, I wonder who would be around here. Maybe it was just another cat. They seemed to be all over here. Just then a car pulled behind them beeping the horn. Wow! That scared her. It was just Lacey, Erik, and Justin. She wondered where Michael was. She hoped he didn't get lost. Just then another car rolled in beside hers on the other side. It was Michael. She couldn't be more excited.
She practically jumped out of the car with excitement. She told everyone else to go ahead and go inside. There was a spare key in the mailbox. Everyone else rushed out of the rain and went inside the house. She went up to the car. Only it wasn't Michael. It was that man again that stopped by for her mom. He got out of the car. She froze. She didn't know whether to scream or run away. She tried to do both but her body wouldn't cooperate. He closed his car door and walked closer to her.

It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Control Arm to repair your car or truck. Your Cadillac dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted replacement parts for your Escalade. You picked your Escalade because its a reputation for strength and American engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles currently being driven today.
The handling of your Cadillac Escalade depends on a finely-tuned suspension. The main component responsible for controlled handling is a good control arm. All modern vehicles have independent front suspension, which means that control arms allow for separate up and down movements for each wheel.

Chairman Sir Geoff Mulcahy said Kingfisher had finished a tough year 'in good shape'. Overall sales for the final quarter, to 2 February, rose by 9.9%, or 2.1% excluding new space.
B&Q was again the star performer although like-for-like sales growth slowed to 6.3% in the last three months after double-digit increases earlier in the year. Mulcahy said DIY demand was sluggish in early January but recovered towards the end of the month.
Sales at electrical chain Comet also fell in the final quarter but were still ahead by 4.7%, leaving the annual growth rate at 5.2% like-for-like.
Christmas is traditionally a slow time for DIY but B&Q did well on festive decorations and outdoor lights. Best-sellers at Comet were widescreen televisions, DVDs and games consoles.
There were problems in Germany, where underlying sales at the loss-making Pro-Markt electricals chain fell 12.8% in the final quarter. Kingfisher said it hopes the business will start making profits next year.
Group pre-exceptional profits for the year to 2 February are expected to come in at the top end of analysts' expectations, which had ranged from £525m to £555m, against £532m the previous year.

We generally think we know the people who shape the musical world around us: the singers we like, the instrumentalists whose work we admire.
But the executants sit at the end of a lengthy production process: an army of men and women work to make those performances possible.
Tony Fell was one of the senior officers of that army: as the managing director of the music-publisher Boosey & Hawkes for 22 years, he had a direct influence on the composers and the music the company promoted. It was no easy task: when Fell took up the reins, Boosey & Hawkes was in poor health.
Fell was an only child: his father had managed both the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Scottish Orchestras. Young Tony studied the cello and piano, becoming proficient at both. After a degree in English and Modern Languages at King's College, Cambridge, Fell spent his two years' national service in the Royal Artillery.
He then joined Ibbs and Tillett, the leading music agency in London, where he became assistant London concerts manager. But finding that his dedication to music was inversely reflected in his salary, in 1956 "poverty drove me to ICI". He became an employee of their publicity department.
Two years later he was transferred to Johannesburg as assistant publicity manager of an ICI subsidiary, leaving after five years to become sales director at the Johannesburg printers Hortors. While there, he founded and conducted the Johannesburg Bach Choir.
In 1967 he became office manager of the company which published Drum, a South African investigative magazine; his responsibilities included the rotogravure and rotary lithography for its newspapers and magazines. The outspoken Drum had an urban African readership and reported on township life under apartheid.
In 1968 he returned to Hortors as managing director, and while there was headhunted for the job of managing director of Boosey & Hawkes. He was the Hercules these Augean Stables required: the company was an organisational mess, divided in an uncoordinated manner between its music-publishing activities in central London (which made money) and its instrument-manufacture in Edgware (which often lost it).
With Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Britten and Strauss among the "house" composers, B&H had once been at the forefront of contemporary music, but at the time of Fell's arrival it had been over a decade since the company had signed up a new composer – it was, he said, "like running an atomic power station without any physicists". Almost immediately he appointed David Drew, already editor of the B&H periodical Tempo. Working together, the two men conscripted an astonishing array of composers in Europe and North America, among them John Adams, Louis Andriessen, Berthold Goldschmidt, Henryk Górecki, H K Gruber, Robin Holloway, James MacMillan, Steve Reich, Kurt Schwertsik and Michael Torke. Fell also expanded the relationship with Leonard Bernstein to include the representation of most of his major works.
As he navigated the internal company politics from his office at the top of Regent Street, Fell also moved up the structure, becoming a director of the parent company that owned B&H in 1977 and, in 1985, managing director, Group Publishing. As his power increased, so did his scope to take awkward decisions to safeguard the long-term health of the enterprise.
In 1996, he retired from B&H, though he retained a place on the board for another four years. In 1997 he became chairman of the Royal Philharmonic Society, the august institution which in 1824 had commissioned Beethoven's Ninth Symphony for 50 guineas. In his eight years in the post he put new music, young musicians and live performance at the centre of its activities. He was behind the sale, in 2002, of the RPS archive to the British Library, which secured the Society finances and opened the vaults to scholars. Earlier this year the RPS made him an honorary member.
For almost four decades Fell was a guaranteed presence – latterly with his third wife, Janis Susskind – at any London concert where an interesting new piece was going to be heard, his urbane demeanour never quite concealing a boyish delight at the prospect.
Robert Antony Fell, music publisher: born Liverpool 27 December 1931; married 1957 Katinka Mullins (marriage dissolved 1967, one son, one daughter), 1968 Patricia Blackwell (marriage dissolved 1992, two daughters), 1993 Janis Susskind; died London 6 December 2011.

Continue walking
You decide that you cannot trust the house. You continue to walk through the black, your eyes useless, like an undershirt in a blizzard.
The air is bitterly cold now, and with each step it seeps further into your bones. Your joints begin to seize up - this is colder than any school blizzard ever was.
You decide to shelter under a tree until daybreak, drawing your knees into your chest. You can see your fingers beginning to turn blue.
The blue travels up your fingers, turning first your hands and then your arms a shade of frost. You can no longer feel them.
Your conciousness slips.

|A Q&A With Erik Oostenink, LMHC, AMHCA's New Midwest Region Director
Share |
A Q&A With Erik Oostenink, LMHC, AMHCA's New Midwest Region Director
The Advocate: What is your current job and what drew you to it?
Erik Oostenink: Growing up in Michigan, my primary exposure to the counseling and psychology field was through a youth group leader. The time I spent in his counseling office completing a high school paper on stress management and biofeedback furthered my interest in the field. However, since I also enjoyed analytical thinking, I went to college in Iowa intending to be- come an accountant. I quickly found that accounting wasn't my passion; people were, so I switched my major to Psychology and found another area for using analytical skills—helping people meet their goals and become more self-sufficient in doing this.
The Advocate: Why did you join AMHCA?
Erik Oostenink: I joined AMHCA shortly after joining AMHCA's Iowa chapter—Iowa Mental Health Counselors Association (IMHCA). Anger is a strong motivator for me. I joined IMHCA due to frustration over Blue Cross/Blue Shield excluding LMHCs from reimbursement in Iowa, and I quickly became a board member. I liked getting involved and enjoyed the focus on big-picture issues affecting our field, including politics and public policy. Our organization partnered with the Marriage and Family Therapists organization in Iowa and successfully gained recognition through contact with Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the Insurance Commissioner in Iowa.
The Advocate: What made you want to serve on AMHCA's board of directors?
Erik Oostenink: Having been a part of IMHCA as secretary, president, past president, and government relations chair, I had gained background on the importance of collaboration, not only in the state of Iowa, but among states in the region. I had the privilege of going to two AMHCA Leadership Trainings—in St. Louis and New Orleans—and recognized the importance of communication between the states. In each year, we had the opportunity for leaders in the Midwest Region to share common issues that the states were facing and successes achieved. Ideas were even shared about creating a regional conference. State leaders developed relationships with each other to further these collaborations for years to come and AMHCA conferences furthered this relationship development.
The Advocate: Since you took office last July, what has been your experience on AMHCA's board? Are there any particular projects you are working on or looking forward to accomplishing?
Erik Oostenink: I am just over halfway through my first year as Midwest Region director and being part of AMHCA's board. Thus far, the first year feels like an orientation period as I am still trying to connect with leadership from the other states in the Midwest and learn more about how the AMHCA board functions. Like serving on any type of board or committee, it takes times to develop a sense of the function of an organization and build confidence in one's role in that organization.
The Advocate: Is there anything about the work AMHCA does that you think members may not be aware of?
Erik Oostenink: Prior to joining the board, I had already started serving on AMHCA's Public Policy and Legislative Committee. Between my work on this committee and my work with the board, I believe most of our membership is not aware of the number of people volunteering to make the organization work. In addition to the many people involved, the board works hard to represent views of its members in all areas and seeks to balance the stated interests of all members with the need for cohesiveness and sustainability of our profession. This appears to be a delicate balance with what the membership would like to see happen related to public policy issues such as TRICARE and Medicare versus what the federal government requires. Often, the work is incremental, and progress can appear very slow.
The Advocate: Is there anything you would like AMHCA members to know about you?
Erik Oostenink: I believe my Midwest values are demonstrated not only in my personal life but in my professional work and the goals I shared for the Midwest Region. I have lived in Michigan and Iowa, and attended school in South Dakota. Influenced by my Dutch cultural background of conserving resources, I have done extensive vacationing in the Midwest, driving and camping throughout the region, and I have visited all the states in AMHCA's Midwest Region.
The 2012 election of three other positions on AMHCA's board of directors—president-elect, North Atlantic Region director, and Southern Region director—open in March; look for an email in mid-March with a link to your personalized electronic ballot.

Relatives of those who lost their lives gathered alongside survivors as they lay floral tributes at the memorial of 52 tall, roughly-cast metal stellae representing the victims.
Some of the flowers were left anonymously, others carried messages from the bereaved. One said: "To Helen, we are all thinking of you today, lots of love from your brother Aiden." Another, a single rose, was accompanied by the message: "From the grateful mother of a survivor."
Relatives spoke movingly of their loved ones at a ceremony organised by the group Survivors of Terrorism, which was also attended by relatives and victims of terrorism from all around the world, including Northern Ireland and New York.
June Taylor from Billericay, who lost her daughter Carrie, 24, in the Aldgate bomb, read a poem, which concluded with the words, "We have a place to call our own, remember those we cherish. We will visit here many times in memory of those who perished."
Esther Hyman, sister of Miriam, 31, who died in the bus bomb at Tavistock Square, said: "Through our mutual support we found the strength to get through."Reuse content

For those with some graduate study or a Ph.D. in a relevant field, the salary starts at $65,000 to $75,000 per year, depending on experience. For more senior researchers, the salary may be substantially higher, depending on experience. All full-time employees are covered by our company health insurance plan. Visa assistance is available if needed.
Ours is a young field. Our current research agenda includes work on tiling agents, logical uncertainty, decision theory, corrigibility, and value learning, but those subtopics do not exhaust the field. Other research topics will be seriously considered if you can make the case for their tractability and their relevance to the design of self-modifying systems which stably pursue humane values.
This is not a limited-term position. The ideal candidate has a career interest in these research questions and aims to develop into a senior research fellow at MIRI, or aims to continue these avenues of research at another institution after completing substantial work at MIRI.
Some properties you should have
- Published research in computer science, logic, or mathematics.
- Enough background in the relevant subjects (computer science, logic, etc.) to understand MIRI's technical publications.
- A proactive research attitude, and an ability to generate productive new research ideas.
A formal degree in mathematics or computer science is not required, but is recommended.

A little late in producing this out again. Procrastination has gotten the better of me again. 8'D I was listening to Digimon season 1, 2, 3, 4 endings and openings while I wrote this. Memories!
On the other hand, for fellow MarcoxSanji lovers, I made a new fic Fiery Birds (MarcoxFem!Sanji) though and it's just random oneshots about the pairing. It goes from humor to angst so I'm making a variety here. I originally decided on a multi-chapter for them but then I reconsidered it before I shot myself in the knee. 8'D
Blurdbied42: To her defense, Sachi was the one who brought the cockroach in. D But then Sachi's demise is kind of amusing too. LOL! And yeah, more AnneLuffyko here!
daughterofthesea98: Thank you! :D
alniyat: :P Sachi wouldn't be able to spy without getting caught. But you'll know who is it by the end of this chapter. It's hinted in the series that Sanji is disgusted by bugs. Not scared but disgusted. So I guess for Sanjiko, it'd make sense for it to be taken up a teeny bit. XP
Hmmm, I did mention about Sachi being paired up with Zoroko but that idea would be put on hold. This fic is centering around Marko and Sanjiko after all. I'll see what I can do. :P
True. I never did try to pair Shanks up with anyone though. I think he's awesome on his own-except maybe Mihawk coughcoughcough
azab: I'm glad that you did! :D
Pokabu: It's probably going to happen more in this fic than a side story (if I decide to write one xP)
"I missed you so much, Luffyko," Anne murmured as she pulled her 'younger sister' into an embrace.
"Me too," Luffyko replied in a much happier tone. "It's so much better talking to you here than on phone. The snail telephone keeps making all sorts of reeeeeaaaally weird faces whenever you talk and it was really hilarious!"
"I know, Luffyko. You were laughing most of the time during our conversation," Anne pointed out dryly. Was there anything Luffyko wouldn't be amused at? "Besides that, I'm surprised that you let your hair grow longer. I thought that you would keep it short."
"I couldn't help it," she defended. "I didn't have any scissors with me when I was training."
"You know you could've cut your hair after that, right?"
"Yeah but I was in a hurry to meet the others. Hancock did wanted to cut for me and said that he wanted to keep my hair too."
Anne's eyebrow twitched at her words. Hancock? The Snake Prince? Anne was still at loss of how Luffyko managed to gain his attention due to rumors of the Snake Prince hating women more than Sanjiko does. When Anne heard that Luffyko was training at Amazon Lily, she immediately made a call to the place and had to deal with him. If Anne hadn't pointed out that she was Luffyko's sister, Hancock would've just slammed the phone down in a millisecond after she called her a 'woman-hating bastard'. And Anne would rather him do that than prattling on how he was glad to meet his sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law her feet.
Anne wasn't going to hand Luffyko over to someone even though he happened to be the best looking man on the face of earth. She had to admit that Hancock is superior to other men based on looks and prowess but his face will forever be under Anne's foot. No freak is going for Luffyko as long as she is around.
"-And then that's how I realized that if I cut my hair, I have to eat them-hey! Are you listening?"
"Uh... yes? That's great, Lu," Anne praised despite having no idea what the hell Luffyko was talking about. "Tell me, how does this Hancock person treats you? Had he done anything to you before?"
"Hmmm... the first time we met was when he was showering. After that, I fought his sisters and he invited me to his room. It was kind of weird. He got me up onto his bed while he was naked so we could tal-" Luffyko was cut off when Anne grabbed the sides of her head.
"What the hell?!" Anne exclaimed. "He's trying to deflower you!"
"Deflower? What is that? Is that food?"
"Stay away from that man, Luffyko!" Anne demanded. "He's obviously trying to do you!"
"Do me? Is that fo-"
"I'll call him up and demand for him to leave you alone. What a bastard. The nerve of him! And to think that he wasn't this crazy when he called me his sister-in-law! What does he think he was going to get? You as a bride? I'll set his snake aflame and go for his spineless balls next!"
"But balls doesn't have a spine..."
"Then I'll toss-Wait, how did YOU know that?"
"Shanks said about it before when one of his crew said the same thing."
Anne wanted to facepalm at that moment. Luffyko was going to be the death of her. When she wasn't pissing or worrying the hell out of her, she would make Anne panic till she gets a stroke. Contrary to many's belief, Anne wasn't the biggest troublemaker on the face of Grandline. Even she have someone to worry about. If only half of Whitebeard's allies met Luffyko, they would finally understand the meaning of 'danger magnet'. This girl was so oblivious and thick that Anne couldn't burn a hole through her. Not that she would ever want to since Luffyko is still her precious little sister...
"And I'm not going to marry him. We made a promise that we're going to marry when we were kids remember?"
...and lover, apparently.
But they didn't get to highlight that over their phonecalls because of some idiot laughing whenever Anne opened her mouth.
"I'm just worried that he would force you to marry him," Anne grumbled.
"Hancock isn't going to do that. He's kind of weird but he's a very nice person! He's my friend too," Luffyko reassured.
Anne continued to let out grumbles of curses as she buried her nose into Luffyko's hair while holding her close protectively. "I'm not going to trust him," she said as though it was the end of the conversation. "He's not going to get you and that's that."
Luffyko giggled at Anne's behavior. "You're being weird. He's not going to do anything to me."
"I'm not going to dismiss that," Anne said firmly. She guided Luffyko's chin with her finger towards her and kissed her on the lips. "You're mine, after all."
Luffyko returned the kiss and smiled at her reassuringly. "Yes, I know that."
Anne and Luffyko immediately turned their heads towards Zoro's training room when the scream reached their ears.
"It sounds like Sachi," Anne commented.
"The one with the weird hair? I think something happened."
"You have to be specific if you're going to call her that from now on. But don't worry about her, it's probably nothing different from the usual," Anne reassured and patted the back of Luffyko's head. Having Luffyko around is taking her mind off pranking Marko. It was all good anyway since she needed a break from being tossed into the ocean. "
"Your friends are really funny! They have strange hair," Luffyko remarked.
"Keep going and I won't do you anymore favors, yoi," Marko said as she walked towards the two.
Anne looked at her in confusion. "Marko? Aren't you dealing with Sachi? How did you get here so fast?" Anne paused to listen to the continuation of Sachi's scream. "No, I think I should've asked, how are you here? When you should be up there?"
"Sachi wasn't pranking me this time, yoi. Your cook is dealing with her."
"Ah..." Anne said in complete understanding.
"Thanks a lot for helping me, banana-head!" Luffyko chirped up.
A vein popped on Marko's forehead and was holding herself back from hitting Anne's little sister despite her calm appearance. "I'm going back to the ship. Don't cause any trouble, yoi," she warned. Her arms transformed into wings of blue flames and she flew over to the deck of the Moby Dick.
"So cool!" Luffyko exclaimed in awe.
"Marko ate a mythical zoan devil fruit which lets her transform into a phoenix. She only transforms her arms and feet most of the time, though," Anne said. "Even though she may look weird and all but she's a nice person. Marko is our mama~"
"I heard that, yoi!" Then, it was followed by a stone colliding against Anne's head.
"She can throw from up there too!" Luffyko added on excitedly while ignoring the fact that Anne had collapsed on her.
Marko had taken up on working on the crew's wanted posters in her room after the ordeal was over. Because they have a large crew, the Commanders had to keep all of them in check and naturally, Marko would be the one to finish off where everyone else left off. It had been awhile since they have done some recruiting and Whitebeard was considering opening a seventeenth division with a commander chosen to lead.
Sachi protested against the idea since a new crew means they would have to work to death. But obviously, it fell on death ears.
If they were to open a new division, the new commander would most likely be...
"Commander Marko."
"Tea," Marko regarded the middle-aged woman. "Is there anything you need, yoi?"
"You're working again? Commander Sachi was looking for you."
Marko sighed. Sachi was always persistent in keeping her away from paperwork. If it wasn't intentional, then it must mean that she had somehow gotten into trouble again. She never looked for Anne, only her-Well, Marko would understand why Anne would be a poor choice to look for. The last time Sachi asked her to help out with groceries at a town, somewhere in there was set on fire when Anne made another dine and dash when Sachi wasn't looking. In the end, it was Marko who had to deal with the angry chefs and agreed to compensate them for their losses. The town was under Whitebeard's protection, after all.
Ever since Whitebeard's health got worse, Marko was the one in-charge of most of the things around. She wondered what would happen if Whitebeard were to make Sachi or Anne the First Commander instead. In her opinion, Jozu would make a much better choice.
And Marko would've been persistent in believing so if Jozu hadn't joined in the others in calling her their 'mama'. Sometimes, she thought that she should just leave those idiots to their reckless tendencies. Maybe then they would learn that trying to drown the whole ship was not acceptable.
"Tell her that I'm only available if something urgently important is on. And by that I meant the Marines bringing over fifty fleets to deal with us and not Anne needing diaper changing."
"Zehahahahaha! You always have great humor, Commander Marko."
"What humor, yoi? I'm serious."
"Yes, yes, just as usual. Everyone was wondering why you never joined us for fun. Recently after the Strawhat Pirates arrived, they've been making bets on when you're going to get a soulmate when Sachi mentioned it in the dining hall."
Remind Marko to have a very slow talk with Sachi.
"I'm not interested in anyone and I'm not planning to, yoi."
"Yes, really. Romance was never my forte."
"You could always give it a try, Commander Marko."
Marko looked at her questioningly at her insistence. Tea must be at the very wrong side of the bet, she was sure. When those idiots weren't working properly, they would be out making bets on when someone will find another one. Marko couldn't find the point in it. There wasn't anyone else they could look for other than each other unless they plan to mate with a Sea King. It was as though every single chip was trying to find a completely different chip in the same packet of fucking chips. On the other hand, Marko wasn't feeling comfortable at Tea's staring. It was getting creepy and it wasn't just her eyes.
"I'll pass, yoi. You have work to do too, right? Get to it. Chit-chatting with me isn't going to get you out of it."
"As sharp as always," Tea said with a grin before walking out of the door. While she was walking out, Sanjiko passed by her as she was walking into Marko's room. "Good day to you, Strawhat's cook."
"Ah, same here," Sanjiko replied a little awkwardly when she saw the strange look Tea was giving her. What was that about? Deciding to put it aside at the moment, she turned her attention back to the matter at hand. "Dinner is ready. It look quite awhile and it's already evening before I knew it."
"Thanks, yoi. You guys have dinner first."
"But Sachi told me to pull you there now no matter what."
Marko didn't hold back in connecting her palm to her forehead. What was with Sachi? It has been awhile since Marko worked. Would it kill for her to work for another few more hours? Judging by the time, it had been only four hours ever since she started. And why won't she get Marko herself? Marko wasn't going to toss her into the sea for pranking her out of work... at least, Marko wouldn't recycle that old punishment again.
"And I'm not letting any of my guests miss their meal," Sanjiko added afterwards.
"Fine, I'll go. Nothing happened while I was gone, right?"
"Not that I know of," Sanjiko replied.
Crossing her arms over her chest, Marko walked along the hallway with Sanjiko beside her. All this while, a familiar pair of eyes were watching their back with an indescribable gaze. A small trademark laughter was let out when the both of them were out of sight and the figure disappeared.
The main plot is starting now. Time to get my butt off tumblr~

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 48359] New: Buffer overflow related to setting RequestHeader
|Wed, 09 Dec 2009 15:21:44 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48359 Summary: Buffer overflow related to setting RequestHeader Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.9 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Core AssignedTo: email@example.com ReportedBy: email@example.com The background is that we use mod_headers to set request headers like this : RequestHeader set X-MS-Unique-Id %{UNIQUE_ID}e env=!HAVE_X-MS-Unique-Id [ the env=! part does not matter -- it does it even for statically configured request headers ] This works fine when Apache directly serves a request first time. It breaks badly when Apache uses a subrequest during its processing. This is because mod_headers sets the header (in r->headers_in) during the subrequest, using the request pool from that subrequest. Unfortunately, Apache passes subrequests a reference to r->headers_in, not a copy. So at the end of the subrequest when the sub-request's pool is destroyed, you have invalid data on the parent request's headers_in table. The core apache code responsible for this is ap_set_sub_req_protocol() in server/protocol.c : /* did the original request have a body? (e.g. POST w/SSI tags) * if so, make sure the subrequest doesn't inherit body headers */ if (apr_table_get(r->headers_in, "Content-Length") || apr_table_get(r->headers_in, "Transfer-Encoding")) { clone_headers_no_body(rnew, r); } else { /* no body (common case). clone headers the cheap way */ rnew->headers_in = r->headers_in; } Unfortunately, the 'cheap way' allows subrequests to modify the parent request's data structures. We fixed the problem by changing this to : else { /* no body (common case). clone headers the cheap way */ /* rnew->headers_in = r->headers_in; */ rnew->headers_in = apr_table_copy(rnew->pool, r->headers_in); } There is a performance penalty with this. One other solution would be to modify mod_headers to set the table value using the table's own pool rather than its request pool, but that doesn't prevent subrequests can having potentially strange side-effects. This bug has potentially serious security consequences as the main request ends up referencing memory it shouldn't be doing. We have seen it give away security sensitive data to the client, and would like to see this patched and a security fix made available as soon as possible please. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Chapter 1
POV - Thomassen
Thom woke up the morning after the storm. He, like other creatures in the forest, had taken shelter for the terrible blizzard to pass by before continuing with their daily routines. The snow had somehow gotten into his den under the hollow of a tree and covered his thick pelt. He wasn't bothered by the snow. He couldn't even feel the cold (or the heat for that matter). But it still disturbed him that his warm, moss-covered den still had been penetrated by the irritable white particles. He stumbled out of the hollow and quickly shook off all the snow that had gathered on him. Thom set to work clearing out the wet moss.
After finishing the rather laborous task, Thom realized that he was starving. He had not properly eaten in days. Prey was already difficult to find, and the storm would have just driven them deeper into their nests. He sighed and shook himself again -- this time, to get rid of the enormous pressure on him.
Thomassen wandered down to the river, where he might hopefully catch some fish. No use; the river was completely frozen over. Thomassen contemplated igniting his paws on fire to melt the ice, then decided it was better to just let the ice stay. He could get prey somewhere else.
Thomassen saw a mother deer and her fawn walking up the hillside. He instantly dropped into a crouch, licking his jaws at the delightful sight of a meal. He realized that he would not be able to catch up to them, however, when the wind changed direction and blew his scent toward them. They bounded away at the smell of wolf, and Thom gave up the hunt. His stomach rumbled inside him, letting him know he had to find food soon.
A sudden wave of tiredness overcame the over-sized wolf. He padded over to a nearby tree, forgetting to check for scent markers, then curled up and dozed off.

I never thought being unconicousse would be long and boring. Wake up, wake up, Wake up! I hoped everything was going to be okay, but my survival instincts told me to get up. Maybe I'm dead? Hope not. Why was that guy sitting there waiting for me? something is up. Wake up this is getting boring! What feels like a few more minutes of repeating this over, and over agian until, my eye finally open to the real world.
My chest felt like a train ran over it with barbed wheels, I was still a bit groggy, but a couple blinks and I could see just fine. I was in the room agian , and I still had my items. I was laying on the floor, my wounds tended to. I hear the sounds of footsteps to the left of me, and instinctively look over. The bathroom door was left open , and inside the bathroom was the girl naked.
" I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to look!" I yell a my chest hurts afterwards. She looks up m her face goes red, and one awkward silence later, " YOU PERV!" She shouts then slams the bathroom door.
I said sorry though, and I honestly didn't mean too, but I didn't turn away, doest that make me a perv? Or doese the fact that I find the girl attractive , make me a perve.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE A PERVE!" I yell in my head.
I get up , it was a little uncomfortable and it hurt quite a bit, once I stood up my shirt fell down.
" And that probaly didn't help." I mutter walking to the window, the girl was still in the bathroom.
" I'm really sorry." I say hoping it would make a difference.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 30, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas Solemn remembrance Recycling committee tossing around 'pay-as-you-throw' plan By Heather Todd Staff Writer New Braunfels residents might have to pay a fee for each bag of trash they put out rather than a flat monthly fee, according to a plan the city's Recycling Advisory Committee plans to present to council. Terry Fischer, chairman of the city's Recycling Advisory Committee, said members were mulling a "pay as you throw" plan to reduce the amount of trash dumped at the local landfill and to promote recy cling. "This is something we started looking into because people put out a tremendous amount of garbage," he said. Fischer said no specific plan or fee had been developed. But one local resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said the program could be a financial burden for low-income families or residents on a fixed income. Currently, city residents pay a monthly fee of $10.83 for garbage collection and recycling — whether they put out three bags or IO bags of trash. Under the proposed "pay as you throw" plan, residents could either pay for every bag of trash they set out or for every extra bag after filling a single trashcan. Don Ferguson, assistant to the city manager, said, "The goal of this plan is increase the volume of recyclables and reduce the amount of waste to the landfill." Fischer said reducing the amount of waste taken to the landfill would save city dollars. "The city pays for everything that goes into the landfill," he said. Fischer said the plan would require a minimum allowance, but no specific fee has been discussed. Several different options are available in terms of how residents would be charged for garbage collection. "In some cities, residents can fill a single garbage can for a flat fee, then any additional bags they pay extra for," Ferguson said. "Other cities charge for every bag they set out. There are different ways to charge." In some cities, extra trash must be put in extra bags, which sell for about $2, or residents must buy stickers for about the same price to attach to each extra bag of trash. Fischer said the committee had been discussing the plan for more than a year. He said the committee made a presentation to city council before but did not have enough information to really sell the program. "What we were trying to do was establish a tag system that for every extra bag of trash, people would have to pay for a tag. See RECYCLING/5ABond issue failure not standing in way of complex plans By Heather Todd Staff Writer New Braunfels Youth Sports, Inc. is moving forward with plans to build athletic fields off Doeppen-schmidt Road and Interstate 35, despite not getting $2.63 million in city tax dollars to fund the project. Mike Mullins, president of NBYS, said the organization planned to develop 30 to 35 acres of soccer fields at the facility site to be ready for play next year. New Braunfels Youth Sports, Inc, a non-profit organization for young athletes, plans to build the soccer fields as part of a proposed state-of-the-art sports complex that will include softball fields, baseball fields, soccer fields, an indoor swimming pool and a gymnasium with basketball and volleyball courts. The complex also would be equipped with concession stands, restrooms, a track, grandstands and ample parking for cars and buses off the 100-acre site on Doeppen-schmidt Road. But, the biggest challenge for NBYS now is getting enough money. "The first step was to look at raising funds to build the facility, through grants, donations and contributions," Mullins said. "The second step was to get the project on the bond. Now, we're back to step one. New Braunfels residents voted down two propositions May 6 that would have funded sports facilities for local youth. The sports facilities were part of a seven-proposition $32.72 million See SPORTS/5A K.

JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung River security and sheriff's deputies were highly visible at Huaco Falls Monday as they watched the end of the holiday rafters chasing fun down the Guadalupe. Holiday weekend mostly OK By Ron Maloney Staff Writer The campgrounds were clearing out by late Monday, and crews were walking the sides of River Road, picking up trash as another Memorial Day weekend crept to its close — at about the speed of this spring's low and slow Guadalupe River. Things were winding down as well for Comal County Sheriff's deputies and New Braunfels police, who reported that the great bulk of the thousands who came were relatively wellbehaved. Others were not. One Pollok youth was taken by helicopter to a San Antonio hospital with a skull fracture he suffered in a rock-throwing incident Sunday. Law enforcement officials reported a total of about 120 arrests — several in the city, the balance in areas served by the Comal County Sheriff'sTeen suffers skull fracture in river brawl/5A Office — for offenses ranging from aggravated assault to possession of drugs, public intoxication or lewdness. The number of citations was about half the figure reported for this past year's Memorial Day holiday. Citations were reported for offenses ranging from possession of alcohol by a minor to traffic violations. The number of arrests and citations didn't tell the whole story, though, New Braunfels Police Department Det. Bob Parchman said. In New Braunfels, the crowds as a whole were no worse than they've been in other years — and better than in some, Parchman said. But the annual holiday bash on the Guadalupe had its dangerous moments, he said.

Canyon Lake residents organize against proposed wastewater facility From Staff Reports Property owners in Northwest Comal County will meet Thursday to examine the potential effects of a proposed wastewater treatment facility at the Canyon Lake area near Cypress Cove Road. The coalition will meet at 7 p.m. at the Spring Branch Volunteer Fire Department, Farm-to-Market Road 311 and US. 281. Because of concerns about how the facility could affect the quality of life of nearby residents, several of surrounding community subdivisions, business owners, land owners and residents recently formed the Northwest Comal County Environmental Coalition, member Sheryl Garza said. The coalition recently submitted a request for a hearing with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission. TNRCC will decide whether to approve the application for the wastewater treatment facility^ construction and operation. The TNRCC application states the proposed facility is designed to discharge up to 140,000 per day of treated wastewater into Rebecca Creek. The facility is planned for a subdivision of 355 manufactured homes off Rebecca Creek Road. For information about the Northwest Comal County Environmental Coalition, contact Garza at (830) 885-6050. ;

"My name is Melinoe. I'm actually a nymph, goddess, whichever term you prefer. My father sent me to make sure you kept your end of the deal."
She blinked and I realized with a start that one of her eyes was white and the other black. Just like Zeus.
"You were a spy?" I asked incredulously, taking a step back.
"More like…insurance." She responded, "I had to keep myself disguised. Lucifer and I have something of a history."
"You too?" I asked, tempted to laugh.
"Not like that. It's because my mother was his queen. Persephone."
She shrugged.
"It's all a giant soap opera. I usually stay out of it, but my dad decided to call in a favour with this."
"Did your dad also tell you to seduce me?" I asked, folding my arms.
Melinoe laughed.
"No. That was all me. I like you, Zara. You're…real. I can't remember the last time I had a mortal lover. What do you say?"
"I…I don't know. I need time." I sighed, remembering Cupid. I didn't have the best track record with the gods.
"Sleep on it." She offered, "I'll be escorting you to meet with my dad soon anyways."
Before I could say anything else, she'd vanished in a cloud of black dust.
The return to Hell was considerably more disturbing than our ascent to Earth. The ground in the centre of the Stonehenge seemed to collapse into itself, and as our party ran towards the gaping hole we were sucked downwards through another blinding column of light.
I emerged disoriented and probably about to bruise badly, but I was fairly distant from everything.
The ride back to the castle went by uneventfully, and I almost felt grateful upon returning to my room with its massive four-poster bed and the stacks of books littering the floor.
The days following our return went by just as uneventfully. There were a slew of celebrations and parties, obviously, but I avoided them as best I could.
I kept to myself. I was thinking, mulling things over, trying to come to some kind of conclusion about myself and what had happened.
I didn't, obviously.
So when I saw a swirling cloud of black dust in the middle of my room and Melinoe materialized out of thin air, I was happy for the interruption of my aimless contemplation.
She was no longer in her servant's outfit. A silky black gown had replaced it, contrasting with her milky skin and her startling white eye.
"Ready to visit the big man, Zara?"
I shrugged.
"Why not?"

Everyday I Said a Prayer for Kathy and Made a One Inch Square
By Wheat
A rather morbid album title and a rather uninspiring band name wouldn't make this album stand out to most people.
Nonetheless, going on my only previous knowledge of Wheat, which was their gorgeous track 'Don't I Hold You', as featured on the first of V2's 'Acoustic' compilation CDs, I thought I'd see if they could recreate that song's gorgeous lonely, longing atmosphere.
Opening track 'Closeness' seems to take a remarkably similar path to Coldplay's 'Fix You,' with its organ, swelling chorus and anthemic(ish) qualities. However, it only sounds like that up to a point. If Coldplay added a dosh of country to their sound, Chris Martin didn't give a damn about how his voice sounded, and they spent all of five minutes mastering the track and cleaning it up. It's as if Wheat wrote 'Closeness' and decided it was a little too mainstream/anthemic, so put it in a tumble dryer, through a mangle and jumped up and down on it repeatedly for a few minutes.
'Little White Dove' opens with piano too, but then introduces a moderately-hectic drum beat and distorted guitars. Nonetheless it's a catchy little number, despite ending with conflicting lead and backing vocals bringing the song to a rather original, although confusing ending.
'Move=Move' introduces bleepy synths and country rock riffing, in a kind of Wilco vein, while 'I Had Angels Watching Over Me' is a rather relaxed song with added vocals and guitar that lend the song a slightly uncomfortable edge, as well as a number of layers.
'What I You Got' becomes a distorted synth filled tune, led by a catchy bass groove, with Wheat's drummer again earning his money and getting the most out of his drumsticks. It's certainly a standout track.
'An Exhausted Fixer' follows the lead of tracks like REM's 'Belong', with a monologue being read over a nicely distorted country-indie backing tune.
As you may have guessed, Wheat aren't going to be on mainstream radio in the UK any time soon. Nonetheless, despite making an album that intends to put the listener on edge as much as possible, even with the employment of synthesisers and, at times, acoustic guitars, there are a few rather nice little tunes here. 'Everyday I Said A Prayer For Cathy And Made a One Inch Square,' seems to hold the middle ground in being made up of songs that are neither laid back, somber acoustic numbers, nor full on indie/country rock. Instead, there is a balance of the two in the majority of the songs on this album. I can't, hand on heart, say that I would go out and purchase this album, but in true British style, as once remarked upon by Bill Bryson, "it could be worse couldn't it?"

Smoke and mirrors. Just when I thought I couldn't dislike this administration any more than I already do... I don't know what's worse about it, the President thinking that this ploy is worth the effort, or everyone involved thinking that, our supporters of the 2 amendment would cave on the millions of folks counting on them to uphold our constitution, just because some jerk likes to use political grandstanding to push his agenda.
So these folks have access to pro politicians like I can never have access to convince antis. As someone who has lived through a "violent gun crime", I am highly offended.
There may be things worse than taking advantage of grieving parents who have lost children, but I can't think of too many. This president and his propaganda machine disgust me.
Despicable behavior from a person sworn to uphold our republic's constitution! And while I too grieve over the lives lost at Newtown, the victim-parents bear responsibility for choosing to participate in this show. How sad...
[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. ---Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
Despicable, manipulative abuse of power, that's all I can say.
What is really sad is that these people do not even know that the administration is just using them to push their agenda. As soon as it fails they will kick them to the curb faster than a fat kid dives for a cupcake!
As Ted said.....Standing On The Graves Of The Dead Children......what about the Sequester and how much that flight actually costs in tax dollars ?
I believe no one really knows how bad it is politically in our country now unless your a congressmen or senator directly involved in the process....we only know from the news and other media sources. IMO......things will only deteriorate further under this administration and we have a long ways to go.
I hope we survive this D-bag. I'm feeling politically deflated.
