American Life League
Via my previous post, here is more flak for Frist from the Christian right:
Judie Brown, president of American Life League, the nation's largest grassroots pro-life educational organization, issued the following statement regarding the news that Sen. Bill Frist now endorses the expansion of human embryonic stem cell research:
"Sen. Bill Frist's announcement that he has reversed his opinion on the expansion of human embryonic stem cell research is beyond repugnant to many in the pro-life community. What has happened to this man, who once showed promise of becoming a strong pro-life voice for the American people?
"Sadly, Sen. Frist now joins the ranks of numbers of politicians who have sacrificed the truth to satisfy other, less noble, goals. Frist claims that his opinion is one based on 'science.' However, Sen. Frist is certainly ignoring one of the basic facts of Biology 101, which unequivocally tell us that life begins at fertilization, when a new human person with unique DNA is created. We are talking about our fellow human beings. In his heart, Sen. Frist must know that killing those human beings, for any reason, is always wrong.
"While it is not surprising that those who support the killing of embryonic children are applauding Sen. Frist's latest move, it is quite disheartening that that so-called pro-life officials in the Bush administration are excusing his crisis of conscience as 'understandable.'
"Sen. Frist's statements are a perfect example of the hypocrisy that has slowly infected many in the political arena, even among Republican Party officeholders claiming to be pro-life. The fact is, whether an innocent human being is a few hours old or nine months old, an act that intentionally kills him is always intrinsically evil and evil can never be justified - no matter the perceived 'good' end. Human embryonic stem cell research kills innocent human beings, and therefore is inherently evil."
My question, and this really- really bugs me is all the placating silence of the right on Frist's move? Where is Michelle Malkin, Cpt Ed, and others on this issue?
The silence is not only disturbing, but it is an insult - and frankly a sellout. Alas issues such as these truly "divide the sheep from the goats". Hugh Hewitt's absense or rather "compilance", is especially noteworthy. Redstate is on board however, and correctly states how conservatives should view Senator Frist.
Perhaps there are some who believe Frist's defection will not be a big issue in 2006, and 2008, let me assure you - it will. The groundswell has already begun. Never bite the hand that got you where you are.
Here is a statement from Cardinal William H. Keeler, chairman of the US Bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities:
""Today Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced he will support using federal funds to encourage the destruction of living human embryos for their stem cells. Despite the Senator's disclaimers to the contrary, this position is not 'pro-life.'
"Especially disturbing is the Senator's insistence that human embryos unwanted by their own parents are owed 'the same dignity and respect' as children and adults, but may nevertheless be killed for research material.
"Such destruction of innocent human life, even out of a desire to help others, rests on a utilitarian view that undermines human dignity and human respect, as Senator Sam Brownback ably pointed out today in his response.
"Senator Frist's effort to make an analogy with organ transplants also fails, because it would be gravely immoral as well as illegal to harvest any patient's vital organs when he or she is still alive.
"Despite his warning against offering 'false hope' to patients, Senator Frist also repeated claims that are untrue or misleading about the unique 'promise' of embryonic stem cells. No one has identified any disease that can be treated only with these cells; no one even knows whether they will ever provide a safe and reliable treatment for the conditions already being successfully treated using adult stem cells.
"These factual issues will no doubt be explored by others. My own central concern is that neither sound ethics nor good government can rest on the principle that 'the end justifies the means.' I commend President Bush for his laudable pledge to veto such legislation."
This issue is non-negotiable for pro-life conservatives. Again, I and others will mark the silence of as a signal. "Those who aren't with us, are against us.

Black Swan, with orange ring, yellow coded Y226 at Fairburn Ings. Black Swans are escapees, but how established are they now?
Other observations of Black Swan (Cygnus atratus)
No established populations yet
Although these are frequently encountered as escapes, and pairs have bred in a number of occasions, they do not usually have much success in raising young. They are quite long lived, so may remain in an area for several years, but hopefully breeding populations will never be allowed to establish (there are too many alien species at large as it is!).

2012 Technology Survey: Spending on Social Communications Picking Up
June 22, 2012
Fund firms are beginning to like social media and the devices their staffs use to communicate online with customers.
Fully 50% of respondents to the 2012 Money Management Executive Technology Survey said that their companies were adopting social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for the first time.
That's a big step up from the 2011 survey, when fewer than 20% of respondents said their firms used either Twitter or Facebook to communicate with present or future customers.
That stepped-up presence was reported by a select sample of 77 director-level and above executives at mutual fund, exchange-traded fund and alternative investment firms. Respondents included top-level executives in technology, operations, marketing and overall fund management.
Of these, nearly a fifth say they are using social media as means of reaching customers and increasing revenue. The top two: Twitter (19%), for communicating with customers; and Facebook (17%) for promoting products or services.
That does not reach the level of Web site usage, for reaching customers and generating revenue, by far. Currently, 74% of fund firms are using their Web sites as the primary use of digital technology to reach out to customers. And 25% are using their sites as direct commerce sites, allowing visitors to purchase or redeem shares.
Still, the shift toward social media as a means of reaching out appears to be picking up mind share at fund firms. In 2011, 84% of respondents cited a Web site as their firms' top means of reaching customers, to increase revenue.
Accompanying that movement is acceptance of the sorts of mobile devices that make it easier for marketing and other staff members to communicate, around the clock, with customers through social media.
Thirty-six percent of respondents said that their firms were allowing employees to use iPads and other tablet computers for the first time; and, another 20% said their firms had begun to embrace iPhones and other 'smart' phones that make it easy to 'tweet' or update Facebook and LinkedIn pages on the go.
In fact, those kind of devices were seen as the number one means of increasing executive of staff productivity. In the survey, 51% of respondents said iPads and other tablet computers were the best technological means of increasing productivity at this point and another 32% pointed to smartphones.
After that: Replacing desktop computers with laptop computers and giving broadband mobile access to the Internet to those laptop computer users.
That embrace appeared also to signal a re-embrace of spending on technology, throughout the fund industry.
Last year, fully 38% of respondents said they could not predict whether their firms' spending on technology would rise or decline.
There was no such uncertainty this time. In this year's survey conducted in May and June of fund executives across the country, 41% expected spending on technology at their firms to pick up. Only 10% expected it to decline. Thirty percent expected no change. Nineteen percent weren't sure what to expect.
Of those that were certain that spending would pick up, by contrast, 13% said it would pick up by 5% or more.
Some of those more aggressive spenders clearly expect to use technology as a means of differentiation. Nineteen percent of respondents said their firms would spend 5% or more of their operating budgets on technology.
That is up from last year, when 16% of respondents said their firms would spend 5% or more of their operating budgets on technology.
And, in 2012, 42% of firms expect to spend 3% or more of their operating budgets on technology.
As with the past, however, firms clearly are expecting their technology departments to do more, with less.
Ranking as the top spending priorities for fund firms were projects involving back office and administrative operations and customer relationship management systems. These each were put at the top of their spending lists by 29% of respondents.
But when these same executives were asked where they expected to cut costs, these two areas also hit the top of the list. Thirteen percent of managers said they would cut back office and administrative operations costs, while another 8% targeted CRM software.
Also high on spending priority lists were risk management systems, given the steady advance of Wall Street reform regulation and the adoption of new cost-basis reporting rules by the Internal Revenue Service. The industry is awaiting a second set of reforms, for instance, in how money market funds can operate, from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
But, often, very prosaic, basic information technologies made the top of the spending priority lists.
Twenty-six percent of managers said integrating existing systems was a top priority in their spending plans, another 25% put operating system upgrades at the top of their lists. And mobile computing initiatives garnered 21%.
One San Antonio-based technology manager said he was watching for technology that had been commercialized on a "large scale in fast-growing markets that have 'leapfrogged' costly legacy infrastructures.''

A boat captain whose hand was bitten off by a 9ft alligator has been charged with unlawfully feeding the reptile.
Wallace Weatherholt was giving holidaymakers a tour of the Everglades, in Florida, when it attacked. A family from Indiana, who were on the boat, alleged that the 63-year-old had hung a fish over the side when his hand, which was at water level, was bitten off. It was found later but could not be reattached.
Mr Weatherholt has been charged with the unlawful feeding of an alligator and released on a $1,000 (£635) bond from Collier County Jail.

By Adrian Tullberg.
I want you to imagine, for a moment.
The blonde man sat down at the massive desk, in the Oval Office. The dark-haired man in the spandex uniform and red cape noted that Pete Ross looked very comfortable there.
"It's been an interesting few days, hasn't it, Superman?"
"You're a master of understatement, President Ross."
An aw-shucks smile, thrown at precisely the right angle. "Not until I'm sworn in. Until then I'm ... what's the constitutional position on that?"
One of the aides gave a nervous glace at the Kryptonian. "To let Superman say whatever he wants?"
A light chuckle reverberated around the room.
I want you to imagine a man who lost his one chance at life.
Ross leaned back. "Sounds good to me. Superman ... I want you to take full charge of ... Mister Luthor's incarceration. I've already drafted an executive order guaranteeing you funding, and clearing you on all security levels to that effect. Do you accept?"
The President-Elect noticed the sheer pleasure radiating from Superman. "An honour and a pleasure, Mister President."
Ross got up, escorting Superman to the windows, from the office. "I just want to thank you again for your efforts in this perilous occasion in this nation's history."
But while this man wasted his talents in a little hick town in Kansas...
Superman nodded, and took off. Ross watched him leave, then dismissed the staff.
After he was sure he was alone, he touched a button, opening a door.
... and an ungrateful wife pined for his best friend ...
The woman known only as Hope walked ... strolled in. "Congratulations, Mister ..."
She didn't say anything else, as Ross grabbed her by the arms, hauled her close, and kissed her, a savage, brutal act.
... a tremendous opportunity came to him.
Hope broke it off, flustered, but her eyes betraying she enjoyed the clinch. "Hail to the Chief…"
Ross touched her lips with his index finger, eyes gleaming with triumph. "We did it …"
Clark ... imagine.
Imagine a man who had it all ... money, power, influence ... offered you a chance to rise out of purgatory, and rise to the top.
I knew he was dirty beyond comprehension. You think I didn't listened to you, Martha or Jonathan when you were endlessly whining about what was wrong with the world? That I didn't hear gossip on the Hill?
In fact, that's why I accepted.
Hear me out.
A man who was not only dirty, but made a personal enemy out of the most physically powerful man in the world.
And he wanted me as arm candy. To win the midwest as well as being seen as a stable, family man with a full head of hair. It's not enough to buy the Presidency.
Now when you're in the number two seat, riding on the world's richest man's coat tails, it's easy to be categorised as a pretty boy, and filed away.
Luthor gave me nothing but contempt, and made a point of ignoring me once it was certain he'd won.
Luthor ignored me when I found the one person on his personal staff who had enough of being second best as well.
Ignored me as I found evidence, documents, files, the works, gave them to Hope, who passed them to you and your wife. Then you flew in and saved the day, as you always do.
What, you think I was that stupid? Not resembling either Jonathan or Martha, suddenly wearing glasses when Superman showed up? Your debut article being the first interview of Superman?
Why I asked you, of all people, to find that ungrateful whore of a wife when the entire Secret Service failed? It wasn't because you had a whole lot of free time ...
Sorry, getting carried away.
Imagine a man who had an opportunity to be seen as nothing but a showpiece, but one step away from the highest position on Earth.
Not needing to make allegiances. No concessions, no promises.
Now he's in the Oval Office.
And I'll make sure Luthor knows what I've done.
For when he's released ... sorry, he escapes, he'll go straight for my 'loving wife'. Luthor prefers to express his vindictiveness physically. And Hope will be placed in charge of Lana's security.
If my calculations are correct, you'll see him remove his hands from Lana's neck, while cyanosis blue tinges her cheeks.
After all, I've got to win another election, with two major parties gunning for my seat. Nobody would vote against a widower.
After all, I've got a country to run.
Please send any and all feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com

A man who fell 100ft to his death from a balcony at the busy Tate Modern art gallery in London was a senior bank manager at HSBC, an inquest has heard.
Michael Foreman fell from a fifth-floor balcony in the members' bar area of the gallery on the South Bank last Tuesday evening after being reported missing the day before.
The 48-year-old, who lived wife his wife in Gray, Essex, was named as an inquest into the death opened at Southwark Coroners' Court yesterday.
Coroner, Dr Andrew Harris, was told that Mr Foreman was a "senior bank manager with HSBC" and died of multiple traumatic injuries after falling as the gallery was busy with visitors for the Damien Hirst and Edvard Munch exhibitions.
"On July 23rd he was reported missing to Essex Police. On July 24 he was witnessed to jump from the fifth floor members' bar area of the Tate Modern," the hearing was told.
Police are not treating the incident as suspicious.
Mr Foreman had worked at the bank for 30 years and was based at its head office in Canary Wharf in the business banking section. "Our thoughts are with his wife and family," said an HSBC spokesman.
He also played trombone for the Essex-based Tilbury brass band and previously belonged to the Aveley and Newham brass band in east London.
"He had a good job in the City and was always flying to Hong Kong so it makes you think what was going through his mind when he died," said Mr Foreman's friend, Derek Morris, a fellow member of the trombone section at the Tilbury brass band.
The 63-year-old added: "He was a quiet man, but very passionate about the trombone. He was very business-like and not very sociable. He was always very well-suited and always a gentleman. It's very sad news and I just can't believe it."
Mr Foreman's funeral is due to take place in Upminster, Essex, on Friday.
A statement from the Tilbury band read: "Our heartfelt sympathies go to Michael's wife Janet and his parents Steve and Margaret. There will be an opportunity to remember Michael through the playing of music on the day."
Mr Foreman's family has asked those who want to offer a gift to make a donation in his memory to either the British Heart Foundation or Tilbury Band.
"Our deepest sympathies go to his family," said a Tate Modern spokesman.

"Women's Fiction"Mature
Lots of this upcoming collection of my stupid-talk will possibly offend you. Tough.
I loathe that label, "Women's Fiction" because most books of this so-called genre are all the same. All about women who aren't all that young or all that old, not rich or not poor, not fat or not thin, copy-and-paste, grey-area women. They all want to shed that last five pounds and maybe step outside of their dull, housewifey/hairdresser identical existences, but suddenly, surprise, surprise (!) the husband is cheating with a thinner, blonder, younger woman, a Louboutins-and-manicure woman. The rest of the book is then devoted to the grey-area protagonist's mad attempts to heroically transform herself into something better than this woman. Then she makes some new friends, discovers an interesting hobby, and meets the love of her life. Everyone goes off and has a grand old time. The end.
These identical "chick-lit" novels, stacked side by side in the window of your local bookshop, are not just selling us single-use heart-warmers, they are selling a stereotype that women don't care about thrilling crime, gory horror, tense psychological-thrillers, imaginative fantasy, or sports, or anything else except how to lose ten pounds while watching the soap-operas. Often, these books, though some make an attempt at a glossed-over version of controversial themes, give us nothing to argue with. They don't stimulate the mind, plant a new thought, put forward an opinion that we will react to positively or negatively. They just chant the same old suburban fairy-tale behind a shiny pink cover.
"Women's Fiction" is further proof that gender is used as one big marketing scheme. I walk into my local bookshop and see the new Stephen King novel that I have been so excited for advertised as a great father's day present. I walk in near mother's day, and it's all glossy pastel covers on enchanting tales of a slightly overweight hairdresser's quest for true love in the wake of her cheating-son-of-a-B husband. Volumes of short stories advertise "Enchanting Stories For Girls," or "Scary/Mystery Stories For Boys."
In conclusion, I don't want to paint with a broad brush, but I think that any self-respecting, original author should fight to change this. Give us something different. Give us something shocking. Shatter the stereotype beyond all repair.

Virgin coconut oil is handled utilizing an alternate strategy. It is created by utilizing the milk and substance of youthful coconuts, with the tissue being compacted at high weight to remove the oil. This strategy is all the more exorbitant and tedious, yet delivers oil with the most dietary advantages and without apprehension of synthetic defilement. Virgin coconut oil holds a considerable measure of the taste connected with coconut substance, though consistent coconut oil has no taste.
Virgin coconut oil is supplied in glass jugs or fluid compartments as it has a low liquefying purpose of 24 degrees Celsius (75 f). Normal grocery store style coconut oil however contains high measures of lauric corrosive, which permits it to be refined in a way which gives a higher liquefying point, regularly around 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 f). This is the reason general coconut oil is regularly sold in strong structure from an uncovered mellow refrigeration unit inside the market, nearby other strong oils, spreads and margarines.
Whenever cooking or working with coconut oil, temperatures must be kept low as the oil produces smoke at around 177 degrees Celsius (350f).
Coconut oil is a to a great degree great wellspring of medium chain unsaturated fats, more so than practically every other accessible oil available. The majority of you will most likely remember this sort of fat as it is normally called today, MCT oil (with MCT meaning medium-chain triglycerides).
In spite of the fact that on paper the MCT oil substance of coconut oil is considered straightforwardly immersed fat with no further refinement, MCT's really give the primary medical advantages of coconut oil.
MCT's are the primary constituent of coconut oil, and have seen a solid after as of late as far as wellbeing and supplementation. Most particular MCT oil items are separated from coconut oil, however coconut oil itself can likewise be utilized for the same medical advantages at a much lower cost.
The lion's share of MCT oil available is gotten from Palm oil, because of the lower cost underway. Palm oil is however to a great degree adverse to the earth, developing in tropical conditions, for example, those found in normal wildernesses and rainforests with a specific end goal to deliver a gainful measure of oil.
Due to this a great part of the rainforests and wildernesses of both Asia and South America have been cleared to clear a path for palm oil manors. This devastates the common habitat, as well as fundamentally effects on creature species, of which orangutans are one such animal categories imperiled as a result of palm oil cultivating.
Utilizing Coconut oil as the fundamental wellspring of MCT oil generation is a great deal all the more naturally neighborly, as coconut trees develop in most warm seaside districts of which there is a lot of accessible area. Coconut trees will likewise develop in most soil conditions, having the ecological effect of developing Coconut trees insignificant.
The MCT substance of coconut oil has various medical advantages. The most fundamental of which is advancing a sentiment completion. A little coconut oil added to every feast implies your body will be more averse to send hunger signals for essentially more than if the oil was barred. Coconut oil however has a genuinely high immersed fat substance, notwithstanding when barring MCT's, so the sum you use in a supper for four can be as little as maybe a couple level teaspoons. A few people like to substitute the spread or margarine on their bread with coconut oil.
Coconut oil can likewise be taken specifically in the middle of suppers to starve off craving. Take one level teaspoon somewhere around one and four times each day.. On the off chance that utilizing more than one teaspoon a day anyway, this will must be constrained to a most extreme of one teaspoon at regular intervals, as overabundance utilization can bring about a diuretic sort impact.
MCT's are infrequently changed over into put away fat inside the body. The body perceives the fat substance of MCT's promptly, sending them direct to the ATP cycle where they are blazed quickly for vitality. This impact kick begins further fat digestion system inside the body, prompting expanded fat being changed over and blazed as vitality, thus giving a higher metabolic rate after utilization.
The measurements of one to four level teaspoons for every day is additionally the dosage for thermogenic impacts, and can be taken between, a great many mealses or added to dinners straightforwardly.
Clinically, coconut oil and MCT's are utilized for an assortment of clutters. Late studies have even demonstrated the likelihood of MCT's helping to anticipate and battle Alzheimer's infection.
At present demonstrated clinical uses incorporate treatment for nourishment ingestion issue, fat heartburn, celiac ailment and liver sickness.

I watch the stars,
And when they shine down,
I think of my loved ones,
Gathered all around.
But where do they go to,
When their time has come?
When life doesn't last,
And the race has been run?
Is there a place called heaven?
Or a dungeon hell?
Do they float forever,
Bound to Earth by a spell?
Are they always watching?
Like the stars above:
Their eyes filled with images,
And hearts filled with love.
I watch the stars,
And when they shine down,
I know they are my loved ones;
A place where they are found.

In the summer of 1991, the first year of the CMAA Sacred Music Colloquium, I had been a Catholic for slightly over one year. I had procrastinated about entering the Church because of the dreadful liturgies with equally dreadful music that I had witnessed, but finally I resolved that this was not a reason to delay.
I happened to see a small newspaper clipping announcing a new conference on sacred music to be held at Christendom College. I don't remember how I got the clipping; perhaps someone had sent it to me. In any case, it looked like a really interesting conference, but for various reasons I could not attend the very first Colloquium, and, in fact, I did not make it until 1994. Since then I have only missed twice.
What I found at the Colloquium was a group of fellow Catholics dedicated to goodness, truth, and beauty. I learned that there actually existed Catholic parishes where Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony were sung. It was such a comfort to meet other likeminded Catholics, and I treasure the friends I have made through the Colloquium. In those early days I had the privilege of getting to know the heroes of sacred music—Father Robert Skeris, Monsignor Richard Schuler, Dr. Theodore Marier, Maestro Paul Salamunovich, and Father Ralph March. These were the men who labored and fought through Vatican Council II and its aftermath.
As the years went on we were joined by Dr. William Mahrt and a host of other gifted and dedicated leaders in the world of Catholic sacred music. The first twelve Colloquia were held at Christendom College, followed by five years at Catholic University. The Colloquium expanded in size and moved several times to accommodate the growing numbers and the geographical distribution of the CMAA membership. In 2007, the last year we were at Catholic University, when the Colloquium registration was bursting with 144 attendees, it was decided to move to some other locations that could handle as many as 250 people. What a change from the early days, when attendance was typically about forty!
In the years that followed, we have been in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City and Indianapolis. As the Colloquium grew, so too did the number of young people attending; it is truly wonderful to have so many of the younger generation enthusiastic for sacred music. Last summer, in Indianapolis, when I sat back and looked at my fellow Colloquium attendees, I saw the saints—joyful in persecution and striving ever upward to give glory to God through music.
I hope that you will consider donating to the CMAA Annual Fund. There are so many ways that your gift can further the cause of sacred music. Just visit the following link: http://musicasacra.com/about-cmaa/annual-fund/

In the three years since CMAA published Adam Bartlett's collection of antiphons and psalms Simple English Propers, many parishes have adopted the SEP and sung the melodies without organ accompaniment, as indeed they were designed. But through that same time we've also been asked whether we would ever offer a companion set of organ accompaniments.
In 2014, composer Ryan Dingess has fulfilled that request by publishing his own two-volume set to accompany the Simple English Propers. Ryan has kindly allowed CMAA to offer the books as a free PDF download (Volume I | Volume II). In addition, the volumes are available in hardcopy form from lulu.com.

The Morn I No Longer Will See: Chapter 1
A man paces the deck of a ship, the heel of his shoes making a "click, click" as his feet collide with the splintery wooden floor below him. The man's tailcoat flows behind him as the wind picks up, making his long jacket, along with the flag that was tightly fastened to the mast, blow rapidly in a noise-filler manner. A troubled man he is and is deep into thought. If only his thoughts could go on before he was interrupted by a young gentleman's voice.
"Christopher, we're going to land soon!" A boy, no older than sixteen, ran to the pacing man, Christopher, his blonde locks bouncing as he moved.
"Are we now? What place is it this time? I don't believe we're at Thailand yet." Christopher said to the boy. The blonde male shook his head at the man gazing at him. "It's not Thailand, sir. The Cap'n said it'll take another two hours till we reach the coast of Thailand. The place that we are taking port is just some island that is quite close. There are no details about it though, I'm afraid."
The man named Christopher walked towards the side of the ship, leaning upon it, allowing his hands to dangle as he looked out into the never ending blue. The dark brown eyes that lied in his sockets blinked not once, even when the brunette hair that matched his eyes blew into his face by the sea winds.
"Alden?" Christopher spoke to the blonde young man behind him. "Does this island have people on it? Any tribe of some sort?"
Alden's face flushed red.
"How did you know sir?" he asked to the man.
The corners of Christopher's mouth turned upwards, as if leering in a way.
"I'm not an idgit, Alden, nor a fool. Stopping at 'some island' is quite suspicious, yes?"
Alden's cheeks darkened more at the newly made statement. The boy nodded his head, his mop-like hair bobbing with it.
The brunette man sighed. He breathed in the air of the sea and listened intently to the rolling waves crashing against the side of the ship.
"I thought I told them I wanted to rest for the last hours of today?" Christopher said, more to himself than to the adolescence behind him.
"Yes, you did, but they figured since we only have two months until our excavation is over--"
Alden was cut off by Christopher's voice.
"King George, I'm pretty sure, would grant us extra time if we told him we have yet to find an answer and that we need more time. In fact, I'm pretty sure he would force us to keep searching along with sending another group along with us. Now go tell the captain I am in need of rest."
Christopher moved away from the ship's side, taking the tie from his hair out as well.
Alden watched as his superior walk past him and to the cabins to sleep before he himself went away to tell the captain Christopher's word.
The cabin room was unpretentious, which to Christopher, provided a little cozy aura, but yet, it was not home. For three years, Christopher and his team went out to investigate the mysterious matter of deaths and births.
Everyday, Christopher knew, a person dies along with a person born, but with so many deaths as bizarre as he's seen, with as many children bringing children into the world, it's all too noticeable. Especially if it means two hundred people, old to the young, dying each day in each town around the world and at the same time, the same amount of children are being born in their place. Some villages in Africa and some towns of Europe are now no longer inhabited and reeked of the smell that death brought with it.
Christopher's team, consisting of six people, including Captain Bartel, a Dutch sailor, Alden, Christopher's devotee, Berhanu, a heavy-set African man, James and Baron, two inseparable brothers, and Francelin, a French scholar who joined for research purposes, all were seeking the answer in every country and continent.
But so far, they found nothing but the air around them and the strong feeling of homesickness that stirred in them all.
Christopher sat in an old wooden chair, it creaking as he loomed over his journal on the desk. His pen scribbled the words he wrote onto the tiny notebook.
November 2, 1807
Still no answer. I'm starting to wonder if there even is one. The team is tired of the expedition, all of us are homesick. Since we are rushing from place to place now, hoping to get through, it's become more tiring for I. James and Baron are typically in for the ride. Francelin is serious about the search, but unlike everyone else, is enjoying the journeys to the many places. He takes all the ridiculous cultures as a learning experience." The only one who is truly serious is the African, Berhanu. It's amazing how revenge can push a man to great limits. We found him in a small village in Zimbabwe. Apparently, his village took huge notice in the occurring deaths. The births were a little out of the ordinary for him, especially for little, little children, but most girls would get married to man the time they grew breasts or started their periods, which ever came first, and such could start at the age of nine. Berhanu had a younger brother named Awotwe who was weak when it came to sicknesses. They barely had medicine or proper care to treat him all the time so Awotwe remained sickly. Once the village was visited by a few European medics, they were able to diagnose Awotwe and give him tho proper medication. He got better, much better after the medication, until, by what Berhanu said, a "witch" came into the village, walking down the path with a silver instrument held in hand, striking strings which played no sound and people started dying. He ran to his brother to help protect him, only to have his brother die in his arms. Berhanu blames this so called witch for the death of his village's people and his brother, along with all the other souls in the world. If you ask me, I believe his brother just died over an overdose. As for everyone else, they were victims to the unnatural cause we are investigating.
Christopher leaned back away from his journal, the chair creaking once more along with the floor due to the shift of weight. The man held his pen above the booklet of three years recordings, eying the page for more to jot down. What more could Christopher write? He already felt perturbed by reminding himself endlessly everyday of the horrible reasons for the long journey that kept his team and himself away from home. He knew not of what to want more, to go home to England or to find the answer to these unexplainable events. He knew not what to fear more, the possibility of him never finding the answer and forced to deal with the curse the world is going through or him finding the answer, and when he finally heads home to England, everyone he ever knew would be lost...just like his wife.
Christopher's wife, his dearest Agilina, died of an unknowing cause. He woke one night to the cry of his newly baby daughter, crying for food. So precious was she, the babe he held in his hands that even in the middle of the night he could care less that she woke him for her own selfish need for food. After filling her with the nourishment she required and laying her into the castanet, returned to find his wife not breathing.
The doctors told him it was because her lungs collapsed, suffocating her silently while he stood awake with his daughter, Camellia. Christopher's perfect and healthy wife died from her lungs giving way.
How could something so horrible as such happen to someone so healthy like Agilina? No sense could come off nor did logical reasoning. Nothing came to mind every time poor Christopher ever took time to ponder on.
Christopher riveted the journal with hard eyes, searching for the next words. Finally, he canted inward, fixing the muddy orbs he held on the paper as his etched the words into the paper.
There is not much I have to say so for now, other than we have reached an island two hours away from Thailand. I'm not very interested in talking to the natives of the island, but if I'm to find the cause, I'll have to confront them. Hopefully, Captain Barte---
Suddenly the ship came to a brute halt, the force yanking the longing excavator out of his wooden chair, the ship creaking the loudest it ever had in a long while. A hand rose to the sharp corner of the desk that was firmly nailed to the floorboards, and as the pressure strained upon the hand, dear Christopher emerged. The canister of ink dribbled to the floor since the stopping of the ship tipped it and the remnants ran over the front of Christopher.
The man stood plumb, looking with disgust at the black mess that was spewed on his torso.
"Such luck I have to go on and ruin my favorite blouse." he whispered nonchalantly to himself. Christopher reached his hand out without even contemplating if there was something on his desk to clean the horrid mistake. Flashing his eyes over to the wooden table to see that his actions were not to prevail, he brought his hand back and rushed to a drawer by his bedside. Finding a linen cloth, he tried his best to mop up what much he could of the Indian ink on his shirt.
Now that Christopher had found a small solution to his previous dilemma, he had time to mull over what had happened. The man was irritated at such roughness of the ship. 'Didn't the captain know how to drive better than this?' Christopher thought. 'He knows how to steer this ship and what to look out for, especially things such as coral reefs.'
Again, his shoulder length hair covered his face again as he now glared at the entry he was writing. The black liquid soaked a portion of the paper he had written his passage on, only soon to be even more aggravated to find a few other pages of the book were drenched as well.
"The nerve that captain has." was the mutter that managed to peep it's way from his lips.
Alternating the sheet from the journal to his shirt, he tried sponging up as much as he could. After, cleaning as much as the dingy rag could hold, his temper got the best of his and he stopped his way over to the captain's hull.
"What is the meaning of this?" Christopher said as he looked to the captain, his face was red, making Bartel sigh. 'I see he's not going to like this' Bartel thought, glancing at the furious man before him.
"We are taking port now. I anchored the ship too close though by accident, but at least if we are in a need of rush--"
"Taking port? I thought I sent message to you saying I wanted the day to rest!" the brunette shouted now, not bothering to lower it for those quite close to him. Christopher turned sharply, scanning his eyes for what he wanted. "Alden! Didn't I tell you to inform the capta--"
"Now don't yell at the kid because I went against yer orders." Bartel interrupted Christopher, before he could finish yelling at the poor blonde in the corner. "I know you wanted to rest, and that's just fine, but the majority wants to check out the island." Bartel gazed deeply at Christopher, sending the message he shoved in the air was read by all in the hull. Even someone as young and oblivious as little Alden could read the message being portrayed.
"This isn't just your mission, you know." the captain spoke.
Bartel strutted over to the desk of his own, retrieving papers lying upon it. Everyone in the room thought simultaneously that with Bartel's unkept hair, he looked more like a Sasquatch with an overly large sailor's coat on. No one could blame him for such bad habits. From being so far away from home for so long, each and everyone of them had developed habits that were considered bad and would be looked down upon by outsiders of the ship.
"You can remain here and rest if you want, Mr. Bostwick, but the rest of us are going to shore." spoke the savage bearded grizzly of a man before stomping out of the hull and onto the deck, leaving a very angered Christopher in the hull. The other men in the room slowly inched towards the door, trying to leave the still-filled air from the minor argument, hoping to leave before the brunette could turn to snap at them next.
Alden, the only one left in the room besides Christopher, walked over to Christopher, keeping his head low away from the choleric eyes of his epitome.
"I-I'm sorry, sir. They were already voting when I came in." Alden quietly whispered over to Christopher.
"Don't be. I shouldn't have yelled. I was out of line."
Alden's eyes widened, soon jotting up to face the supposed man who apologized just a moment ago with confusion pasted upon the face of the boy.
Alden knew that Christopher was a good man. He had a heart of gold though he never showed such, he was intelligent beyond any Alden had ever met, and serious to the point, never pushing forth humor, which always gave him the confidence to stand up to anything. To Alden, he was the ideal role model, someone that was worth even trying to imitate. Oh why couldn't Alden be more like him? Was he not good enough? Did God see him not worthy enough? Either way, whether it be bad or worse, Alden knew that even though his exemplar was wonderful, he never apologized upon his own. Of anything to have a flaw of, it was Christopher's biggest. Any apologizes he ever made were forced on him by a fellow peer or someone higher than himself. Why would Christopher apologize now?
"You're a good kid, Alden. I should've known you wouldn't deliberately not inform the stupid wretch of a cap'n I wanted to rest. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions." Christopher murmured through his lips.
Christopher turned on a dime and left the newly confused Alden in the hull, quietly pushing the gears in his brain to figure what happened.
'Alden is a good kid.' thought the man who left the poor confused boy in the hull. 'I should give him a little more of credit, I presume.'
Christopher finally reached the destination he wished to reach. The entire team was loading into the puny dory, amazing Christopher to no end of how such a small thing could carry so many men. All the passengers turned to look at their chieftain and with a sigh, the man spoke.
"I can't have the lot of you going to an island by yousleves. If any of you perform a blunder, it's my head the king will have."
The men nodded up at him, letting him pass through onto the ship soon to be followed by a swift Alden running towards the boat. After everyone was loaded in, the dory dropped inot the water and soon was heading towards the island. What they

Hi I'm Megan. I am bubbly, social, clean. I am looking for my new home, not just a room to sleep in. I am looking for people who have their own things going on, but if they are home would join me for a conversation or a wine. I am clean, happy and positive.
I am looking for a place to make my home. I want to live with other friendly people who will become friends. I don't want to live in a house where we are strangers hiding in our rooms.
Megan is also interested in Teaming-Up and starting a new share house.

2 A.M., Purgatory DinerMature
In the distance, cars rushed by on the interstate. Their passing, the slow steady heartbeat of the night.
Adam leaned against the wall behind the diner, took a drag on his cigarette, and watched the cars come over the arch of the overpass. He had it down to a science. Three hundred twelve sets of headlights and his break would be over.
Adam was only halfway through his shift, but he was already exhausted. It wasn't that his tables had been running him ragged. Quite the opposite. The fact that there weren't any customers hung like a lead weight on his shoulders.
Someday I'll get out of here, He thought. I'll get out of this stinking job, this stinking town, and finally get on with my life…
The thought made Adam laugh. Who ever left Purgatory anyway? Your best chance was if you were on the interstate and never took the off-ramp. Adam inhaled deeply on his cigarette and held it in his lungs.
Shit. Adam stomped out his cigarette and went inside.

About the Property
House, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 1-4)
Pictures are new and done 1st week of Dec 2016. What you see is what you get!! No surprises!! Beautiful, well decorated, comfortable, well maintained, and sparkling clean.
The Creole Cottage is designed as a carriage house, but with a surprisingly spacious feeling. A superb architectural design leaves our guest with the feel of a true cottage where there is plenty of living space for a couple or a couple with one or two children. The unique features of this home are an open living/dining area with a traditional full staircase to the loft, which allows all age groups to easily access the loft and its living area safely. This design sets the Creole Cottage apart from other carriage houses in Rosemary Beach which have a ladder, spiral staircase, or alternating staircase to access the loft.
The Creole Cottage has 745 square feet of living area. It features a double garage on the first level with an outdoor shower. The second floor features a wrap-around balcony, a living/dining area with a queen sleeper sofa with commercial frame and memory mattress, a table for four, an entertainment center with 40" flat screen TV/DVD/APPLE TV, kitchen with professional appliances, and bathroom (shower only)with laundry area ( washer and dryer) A traditional full staircase leads to the third floor loft which has a queen bed, arm chair, and 33" flat screen TV/DVD/APPLE TV with headphones. We have cable fast wireless free wifi.
One can actually cook if they want in style. This sets itself apart from other carriage houses as well. All professional stainless steel appliances which includes a large built in Northland refrigerator/freezer, Gagganau 4 burner gas cook top, Gagganau dishwasher, Bertazzoni built in convection oven, microwave, extra large sink that if you need to bath the baby in it.....you can!!!
Outside, the Cottage has its own private outdoor shower with hot water, a large gas grill, and table with 4 chairs in the courtyard. The guests of this carriage house do not share parking with the main house guest. The guest in this cottage has their own private parking and storage for themselves in the garage. The grill is shared with main house, but that's it as the main house has their own 1250 square foot of porches oriented away from the carriage house where they stay and allows the carriage house to have the courtyard for their private enjoyment. The main house has its own outdoor shower as well, so each house has their own.
This carriage house designed to exit south onto St. George's Lane. The main house has total different traffic pattern and exits to the west onto Round Rd. These houses rent easily separately providing privacy and enjoyment for different parties without any problems. The main house guest stores their beach items and bikes on the north and west sides of the main house, which is away from the carriage house.
This house has awesome location on the southeast side of Rosemary Beach on the gulf side, just less than 1 min walk from the beach walkover and less than 30 sec walk to the Coquina Pool. It is about a 2 min walk to the indoor sky pool. It comes with 2 cruiser beach bikes without gears which is a savings of up to $55 to $70 per bike per week plus taxes for the week or $20 a day per bike plus tax.
You have access to all the 4 pools and the beach. All the pools are heated in off season. The handicap accessible beach walkover is closest to the house. You can see a town map on the house's own website. The house address is 9 Saint George's Lane, Rosemary Beach, FL 32413 ( will come up as Panama city beach as a zip code but in Rosemary Beach). The post office zip code for RB is 32461. NO false information, this house is in Rosemary Beach
The house comes with a wagon to carry things or stroll children to the beach. Beach Walkover A is closest to this house at Rosemary Beach and it is handicap accessible so you stroll the wagon, and children right to the beach. No need to carry things up the center of the beach walkover with steps unless you want to!!!
The Creole Cottage can be rented with the Creole Plantation.

Title: The Night the Lights Went Out in Chicago
Author: Razorbackgal0225
Rating: M—For language, sexual situations and nudity. Three of my favorites
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, cars or situations from Supernatural, but I sure wish I did. Anything you recognize doesn't belong to me, including the title, which is a play on a Vicki Lawrence/Reba McEntire song. I made no money off anything, I swear!!
Author's Note: This is being written for my friend Jill, who is a huge Sam fan, and requested some action for her boy and is completely separate from anything else I've done. I promise, I'm still working on Catherine's Shack, for those of you who are reading it. Real life has decided to intrude on my writing time, so it's been really slow going as far as any stories are concerned. But don't abandon me, I will get back on it!!
She knew the minute her brand new Manolo Blahnik heel met the slick marble floor of the hotel lobby that this was not going to end well. Forget the fact that she was a highly intelligent, successful and independent young woman. She was still Lexi Harris, and heaven forbid she not fall at least once a week. It took a lot to embarrass her, but ending up sprawled out in the middle of the upscale and snobbish Chicago hotel would definitely do it. Why in the world would anyone put this type of floor in a place where people in insensible shoes walked every day was a mystery to her. So she took her steps carefully and made sure that she didn't do anything to provoke her unlucky star.
"Hey," a bright, cheery voice said next to her, "I didn't know about those shoes." Lexi turned to her best friend, Mackenzie Walker, who had just joined her in the line for the front desk. "When did you get those?"
She glanced down at the shoes that had cost her most of her quarterly bonus. "Oh, these? I got them last week," she answered, as if she bought pricey accessories every day. "What do you think?" She held out her foot, showing off her new prized possession.
"I'm jealous, you skank, they look fantastic on you," Mackenzie responded. Lexi couldn't help but smile at her friend's reply, especially when she noticed that several of the other travelers in line were now paying attention to them. Whether it was the use of Mac's favorite term of endearment for her, or the heavy Southern accent in which it was said, they now had an audience. She felt Mac suddenly still her movements next to her and heard her say quietly, "Hmm."
Knowing this reaction would have only been caused by one thing, Lexi began searching the crowd of people for the guy that had caught Mac's eye. And since they had the same taste in men, she was sure she would appreciate the view as well. She followed Mac's line of sight to the two men that were in the next line and ahead a couple of guests. There were many reasons why she was grateful for having Mac as a friend and her ability to pick out the best looking guy anywhere was one of them. These two were no exception.
She knew from experience that Mac was more attracted to the shorter of the two, but her interest was riveted on the taller one. And taller wasn't exactly an accurate description. He towered over everyone in the lobby, including the man standing next to him, who wasn't what you would call short. He had the long arms and legs to match his height. He looked a little out of place in the fancy lobby, since he was wearing a polo shirt and jeans, more like a college student than a businessman. She didn't remember any of her fellow students having such broad shoulders like his though. She wouldn't have graduated so quickly if that had been the case. His brown hair was a little shaggy, as if he had been too busy to get it cut lately. She currently could only see his back, but what she saw was worth trying to see the full package.
Mac elbowed her none too gently, bringing her out of her full-on stare. Mac was grinning at her, as she gestured forward, indicating their line was moving. Lexi rolled her eyes since it had been Mac's fault she was distracted and moved closer to the front desk. As she walked, she saw the guy was about to turn around. Careful not to stare too much, she paid attention. And then went ahead and stared anyway.
He was, by far, the best looking guy she had seen in a long time. The slightly loose fitting shirt did nothing to hide the exceptional muscle definition in his chest and arms. He shifted his bag from one arm to the other, causing his biceps to flex impressively. Lexi found herself wishing there was a no-shirt rule in the hotel. That would be a sight to behold. She continued her perusal up to his face where she saw the most beautiful pair of brown eyes she had ever seen. Unlike her own dark eyes, his were a lighter color, matching his hair almost perfectly. He had ever-so sharp cheekbones and a well-formed mouth.
"Seriously, guys should not be allowed to look that like," Mackenzie's comment echoed her own thoughts. She nodded her agreement and went back to face the bald spot of the man in front of her. Why couldn't she have been stuck in this line behind him?
Mac had managed to work her way in front of Lexi, so she was checked in first. While Mac was flirting with the hotel clerk, Lexi continued her observation of the guy five feet away. She noticed that he seemed to be fairly close to the man he was with, by the way they communicated without words. But then even she could figure out what the shorter guy was thinking as he followed the girl in the short skirt into the bar area. She smiled to herself at his reaction; he shook his head in response to the guy's antics and at being left to check in by himself.
Five minutes later, with room card key firmly in her hand, Lexi turned to head towards the elevators. When she did, her unlucky star decided to make its presence known. Her slick-soled shoe went one way, while her foot, still in her shoe, went the other. Determined to not fall on her butt in the middle of the lobby, she tried desperately to regain her balance. She gave up on keeping her shoe on her foot, stepping out of it as gracefully as she could. Unfortunately, this launched her in the opposite direction, straight into a very solid wall of blue material.
"Whoa, are you okay, miss?" The voice belonging to the chest she had catapulted herself into was smooth and masculine and laced with the tiniest bit of laughter. She really didn't want to look up and see who she had plowed into, because she recognized the blue shirt as belonging to the object of her attention in the next line. Very unwillingly, she raised her eyes to meet his.
She was glad he was still holding onto her elbow when she did, because the full force of his smile made her, embarrassingly cliché enough, weak in the knees. She cast a quick glance around for Mac and was relieved that her best friend had already left and wasn't around to witness her latest mishap. She sighed heavily and answered her savior, "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for your help."
The breathtaking smile remained, as he responded, "No problem. They shouldn't put this type of floor anywhere people are going to walk with shoes on."
Lexi laughed softly at his comment and noticed that his thought process followed hers. "It's like they want people to fall." She took a step away from him, righting herself as she did. She was pleasantly surprised that his hand stayed on her arm, even though she was standing on her own now. She also realized his fingers met easily around her forearm, his hands were so big. Not wanting to break the contact just yet, she continued the conversation. "Maybe they have cameras set up somewhere so that they can tape all the accidents they cause."
His chuckle washed over her like a warm breeze. "We'll have to be on the lookout for a blinking red light."
"Excuse me," a loud, marginally rude voice broke into their chat. "Could you please move?" Both Lexi and the guy looked up at the intruder, a middle-aged man in a bad suit, and saw that they were standing in the middle of the two lines to the front desk.
"Sorry," they muttered in unison. Lexi picked up her suitcase and hesitantly took a couple of steps towards the elevator. She tried to keep the completely girly grin off her face when she felt him follow her.
"I'm Sam, by the way," he said, his long legs making his easy for him to keep pace with her.
"Lexi," she answered, as they reached the elevator door. She giggled a little when they both reached for the 'up' button at the same time. He laughed as well, shrugging his broad shoulder sheepishly.
"Looks like you're stuck with me for a little bit longer." The door opened two seconds later. The smile he gave her was a little shy as he gestured for her to enter the elevator first. She grabbed her suitcase and walked in. Generally she hated riding in the small cars, but this time, she was looking forward to it, just to spend more time with the handsome Sam.
As she waited for the door to close, she used the reflective surface on the wall to check her hair. She was relieved to see that it had survived the flight in from Tennessee. That knowledge, and the fact that she caught Sam checking out her legs in the same reflective surface, gave her the courage to turn to him and say, "Are you here on business?"
Sam paused a minute, then laughed a little. The answer he would have given was cut off as the elevator jerked to a complete stop. The lights blinked two or three times before shutting off completely. Lexi froze in place, completely stunned by what had just happened. "You've got to be kidding me!" she heard Sam mutter from the opposite side of the car. Two seconds later, his cell phone rang. She still didn't move as he answered. "Yeah, Dean, where are you?" Although Lexi could only hear half the conversation, she still caught the jest of it. "The whole building is out? That's great." Her eyes were beginning to adjust to the light provided by the emergency bulbs around the floor, so she turned her attention to her companion. "I don't know what floors we're between, but we weren't in here very long." Another pause. "Shut up Dean," came the last comment as he turned off his phone. He gave her a concerned look. "The electricity in the entire building is out. Hopefully the generators will kick in soon. Are you okay?"
She realized she still hadn't moved since the elevator had stopped. She first answered his question in her mind. Oh yeah, I'm fantastic. I'm stuck in an extremely small, enclosed space with the guy that makes me want to rip off his clothes. It's a great day. Then, she shook herself mentally and turned to Sam. "I'm fine, just a little freaked out." She leaned against the closest wall of the car and said, "So, you wanna play Twenty Questions?"
