Summary: The salarian's have an intelligence network that discovered more secrets than it knew what to do with. The Asari's had commando feared throughout galaxies. The Krogans were the most frightening species to have ever stepped foot off Tuchanka. The Turians had fleet rivaled by none and soldier more obedient and willing to die than any other. What did humanity have? A little mix of each plus giant biologically grown kickass robots.
General Williams frowned as he examined the battlefield display in front of him. Every few seconds the normally crisp and clear holographic interface would fizzle and lose focus before coming back into view with sharp clarity. Shanxi was lost. He had thrown anything and everything he had at his disposal to slow down the avian invaders long enough for Alliance reinforcement to arrive, but with only a handful of colonial militia and an even smaller brigade of regular infantry grunts and measly caravan of tanks left, the battle had ended the minute the navy had collapsed. Still nonetheless, with what he had, General Williams had rallied his men to make a stand against the invaders. Humanity would not go down quietly, not here, and certainly not anywhere else.
A massive rumble shook the bunker, but the good general kept his foot even as dozens of other soldiers stumbled and cringed about him. The holographic TAC interface shorted out and turned dark completely, increasing the panicked activity of those in the small fortified room. Calmly the General turned to survey his soldiers, experienced eye noticing with detachment that most were younger than his own son who was only 24 and freshly graduated from the academy.
"General, power generator 3-9 are offline, we can't get a connection back up with the satellites!" Dozens of other reports were called out as men and women worked furiously in the half darkness to get more information for the General, but in his heart he knew it was over. Clasping his hands behind his back, the 50 year old man closed his eyes and considered his options. They had sent the signal out a day and a half ago when the invaders had first come through the uncharted relay. Reinforcements were probably en-route already, but not in time to save him and his men. He could surrender, and hope the aliens had enough mercy to spare his men. The thought of surrendering to an invader that had come to burn their homes sent a knot of cold fury in his stomach. No, he would not be surrendering. Opening his eyes, he noted that the general activity in the room had fallen down and most had turned to silently watch him. The solemn silence was punctuated by the respect his fellow soldiers radiated towards him, and the general felt his heart tighten.
All their lives depended on his decision. These men and women all had family and friends they needed to return to, and though they were prepared to lay their lives down for humanity, no doubt they wished to be able to return home and see their loved ones again.
"Sir?" The quiet question from the normally cheerful first lieutenant sliced through the air like a knife, and for a moment Williams simply wanted to lie down and go to sleep. The weariness he felt was bone deep and blissful oblivion called to him. But it was not in him to give up, not in him to simply roll over and die, and in the eyes of the men and women before him he saw that they too felt the same way. Shanxi was their home, and no one was going to give it up without a fight, even if they knew that fight would not end well for them.
"Break out the rifles. Get on the comm to all units, tell them to hunker down and fix bayonets. The Alliance will arrive, and we will kick these bastards off our planet!" Even as he spoke, the room broke once more into frenzied activity, the tension brought on by his moment of indecision gone. The call to march to their deaths seemed to put them more at ease than when Williams had seemed uncertain of what to do. As the general armed himself along with a sergeant who was snapping heat sinks into a bandolier pouch wrapped around her waist, the man reflected upon his life. Hands checking the standard military assault rifle with the ease of a lifetime of practice, General Williams thoughts went to his family. Two daughters, a son and a loving wife were his most treasured possession in the world. Closing his eyes, he pictured them standing together smiling down at him from the vineyard of their home back on Earth. 'I'm sorry' he thought silently to himself. Another thunderous crash shook the bunker, and this time only the dim emergency lights were left, those powered by a generator within the bunker itself. "MOVE OUT!"
Overhead, task force General Articus watched in satisfaction as the final alien ship disintegrated over the atmosphere. The battle had been more costly than he had anticipated. For a race that had not even mastered using kinetic fields for their ships, they had put up a surprisingly good fight. The ugly rectangular boxlike design of their massive warships was durable and took a slew of cannon fire to penetrate, and even more to bring down. The weapon of choice fired by the alien warship had been energy lances that had minimal range but had quickly sapped kinetic barriers with their splash effect when it struck, and missiles that were mostly countered by the guardian lasers. Their most effective weapon had been a close range projectile that when detonated send thousands of projectiles outwards rather than explosive fire. The deceptively simple weapon had wreaked havoc whenever it did manage to penetrate the hull of one of the Turian warships, often silencing the smaller ships with a single well placed hit. Though the task force had easily outnumbered the alien fleet three to one, the aesthetically unpleasing ships had given as good as they got, costing Articus half a dozen cruisers and a frigate. The fighters had been much more evenly matched, and from the quick glance he had made at the reports, the Turian general knew he would be writing many letters of condolences to send after this operation.
"Last enemy ship down." The announcement wasn't necessary, but as per hierarchy protocol it was the tactical officer's duty to announce whenever the final enemy combatant had fallen silent. General Articus nodded his head and flared his mandibles in a Turian smile. "Well done people. The planet doesn't appear to be populated enough to be their home world, so let's mop up this operation fast. We need to get as much information on this new species as possible, and I want a report sent back to the hierarchy about our success here. What's the status on the ground troops?"
"Most of their ground infantry has been driven into retreat though we're getting reports that the enemy troop had begun to hunker down and fight to the death. We believe orders may have been given to make a last stand."
Silently General Articus digested the report given by his first officer. Few species had the guts necessary to fight to the death in a straight up fight, the Turians being one of them due to their sense of instilled duty and honor, and of course the Krogan being the war mongering beasts that they were practically lived to make last stands. Silently Articus raised his own level of respect for the new species up by a notch. "Have the translation software finished their analysis enough to broadcast a request for peaceful surrender?"
A high pitched chirp interrupted his officer's reply and gasps and cursing filled the bridge as displays went haywire from the influx of sudden information.
"Report!" snapped Articus.
"Sir! Ship sensors detected a massive energy spike in one of the northern cities. A nuclear device of massive yield was detonated!"
Tightening his jaws slightly the general braced himself for bad news. "Were any of our troops deployed in the area?"
"2nd platoon had been mopping up resistance in the area sir."
Closing his eyes, the Turian general exhaled slowly. War always came with a cost, and though he knew his duty to the hierarchy, sometimes he couldn't help but hate the militaristic nature of the leadership. He had privately been against the idea of invading the new species without letting the council know in order to gain a new client race, and now his men paid with their lives for the Primarch's decision. No amount of metals or condolence letters will bring those men back.
"Have the Spirit of Vengeance and the Spirit of Honor fire over the position of the remaining alien resistance."
"Sir?" While not strictly forbidden by Citadel law, bombarding garden worlds with kinetic fire was still highly frowned upon and Articus could be court-martialed and found guilty of war crimes. But currently if that risk would save his men's lives, Articus was more than willing to take it.
"You heard me soldier. I will take responsibility for these actions personally. Send the orders."
Closing his eyes, Articus listened to the hesitant affirmation from the two warships. 'Forgive me, you have fought bravely and deserve the honor to at least defend your homes. But if that comes at the cost of the lives of my men, then you will have to face death without being able to fight back.'
Another chirping beep filled the bridge and Articus felt himself tense once more. Had the aliens detonated another nuclear device?
"Sir we've got incoming bogies! They just entered through FTL jump at the edge of the system and is holding position next to the third planet!"
"Bring it onto the display!"
The friend or foe display of the tactical map zoomed out to encompass the area where the enemy forces were holding position and the Turian felt his mandibles twitch in surprise at the number of red displays that showed up. Already he was outnumbered almost four to one, and still more foe displays were appearing as ships arrived in system.
"Order the pickup of as many of our troops as possible! Send the Sound of Silence back through the relay to warn the Primarch!" As the display continued to fill with a dizzying amount of foe displays, Articus felt acidic bile back up his throat. It looks like we may have poked a sleeping giant.
AN: just a random thought that came to mind. Evangelion vs Reapers anyone? Won't be a strict crossover since there will be no characters borrowed from the Evangelion universe, just the ideas. Hopefully get to see some Eva's in action next chapter.

Caitlin: An Army of Peas
I see all the Veg charge towards us. Percy the peach is immediately taken down by Penny the pea. Oh, now it's on!
"Hey! Pea girl! Pick on someone your own size!" I yell, picking up a barbecue skewer and waving it at her.
"Oh, oh bring it on!" she yells back and charged at me. I deflect the plastic baby's fork with my skewer. To tell you the truth, it's pretty strong plastic. The witch comes over and tries to grab our weapons, but I just jab her hand and she backs away screaming. I give a jab at Penny and the fork goes flying.
"Ha! Take that!" I shout. Then, something I would've never expected happens. All of Penny's brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, cousins, all her relatives come flowing over the kitchen worktop with various kitchen utensils. "Uhh... Charlie?"
"Grab your twin, I need some help!"
"Right!" he grabs his twin and dives into an open drawer. He emerges with a miniture hot glue gun, and his sister with a mini water pistol. She fills it up, and they both fire. Wow! I dive into the drawer, looking for something better to use than a skewer.

When your Ford Custom left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values long-lasting quality in their automobile. Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to buy the best parts to repair your Custom. It's not every day that you find yourself in need of a replacement Brake Rotors & Discs for your automobile. You bought your Custom because its reliability and American engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
The ability to control your car or truck's speed is crucial to keeping you and your passengers safe. Rather than being spread apart like old brake drums were, disc brake rotors are pinched on each side by the pads. This means Ford Custom disc brake rotors take a beating from your brake pads, but since the pads are softer than the rotor they will not deal much damage to it. Brake rotors are better in wet weather than drums, and have consistently been standard equipment on current vehicles. Your Ford Custom wouldn't be able to reduce its speed without the brake rotors that are installed on each wheel.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Ford Custom part for your project or repair. When your Ford needs a top quality replacement Brake Rotors & Discs, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Crossing Paths
He's traveling through time in one direction, and she's moving in the opposite way. They never really had a chance.
She walked down the aisle, and sat next to me on the cross-town bus. You've never met anyone like me!" she exclaimed giddily and somewhat desperately; a warm smile glowing on her face. Honestly, my first thought was that she was crazy.
Looking up from the schedule I was studying, and momentarily confused, I mumbled something like "I don't think I know you..." then, sensing a slight fading of her beautiful smile I added, "but it's really nice to meet you. Would you like to sit?" I motioned to the vacant seat next to mine.
The way she slid into the seat and gently leaned over until our shoulders touched felt nice. It seemed like she was immediately comfortable with me. It was flattering.
"What are you studying?" she asked, looking down at the bus route map in my hand. Her broad smile settling into a comfortable look of contentment.
My mind was now only half on my previous thoughts. I caught myself staring a bit too long at her face. "Oh, it's the bus schedule." I explained. "I ride this bus all the time from east to west; I know the times by heart, but going this way, west to east, it's surprisingly confusing for me. I'm having trouble keeping straight what stop is next." I looked at her face again. I was afraid I was babbling.
She seemed to be considering what I was saying, like it was a new idea to her. She gently tugged the map that passed between our hands and sat straighter in her seat. I suddenly missed our shoulders touching.
Her initial enthusiasm had faded. As she looked at the schedule, she was only half aware of me; the other half occupied by her thoughts. "You know it's funny that you would say that" she said, "I'm doing the same thing. Except I usually ride in the mornings; not the evenings." The paper schedule was now commanding more of her attention than I was. It surprised me how attached I had become to her in a few short minutes.
I tried to rekindle the familiarity she had shown me in the beginning. "Isn't that funny how we're both kind of in the same situation?" I offered, hoping to distract her from the paper in her hands that she had now become more interested in. What had I done? My stop was quickly approaching, but I felt that we had made a connection; however brief. I didn't want to let it go.
Leaning over and rubbing my shoulder against her's, I tried to catch her eye. "You know, it may sound strange, but you really made an impression on me. She glanced over as if not sure what I meant.
She smiled dismissively, and said, "We've only just met." As the bus slowed at my station I repeated the first words she had said to me.
"I've never really met anyone like you!" I smiled at her warmly. She must have thought I was crazy judging from her slightly confused face. I left my seat next to her, walked down the aisle and left the bus.

I've always loved dogs. Some of my first memories are with family pets, and many of them (the memories and the pets) are hilarious.
Others are sad. Like when my dad, at his wits end, took my dog Beau to the pound. Beau had jumped the fence one too many times. That's when I learned what animal shelters do to dogs. Throughout my life I've adopted, rescued, fostered and advocated on behalf of homeless animals. As my friends and family (and neighbors, and people in line at Starbucks, and the guy at my shoe repair) can tell you, I'm pretty adamant about pet adoption.
But only after I began volunteering at some of L.A.'s high-kill shelters did I start to comprehend what could be. Many shelters are run by good people who are trying to manage a system in which supply exceeds demand. Many are also dirty, loud, underfunded, short-staffed, often managed by overwhelmed public servants with little leadership training, and poorly measured.
When I volunteer I see long lines of people waiting to adopt a pet. When it's their turn, they are asked to complete paper-based forms in triplicate, sign liability waivers, be interviewed, and wait until someone is available to show them a dog or cat. It's a bureaucracy, reliant on paper-based processes and outdated information. Shelter staff spend more time at filing cabinets than at cages. The phrase "take a number and be seated" is still alive and well at public shelters — as are "We don't have anyone who can show you the animal" and "Sorry, that one's been put to sleep." Many potential adopters leave shelters frustrated or worse, empty-handed.
This is where technology comes in. By entering the digital age — think doggie dashboards, real-time data feeds, and master data management for the canine set — and making information publicly available, shelters can save more lives.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Final Fantasy. Or anything to with it. Period. If I did, there would be no such thing as Cid x Yuffie. Or Cid x Vincent. It'd all be Cid x Shera - and it'd be a religion. :)
WARNINGS: PG-13 for cid's lanquid language.
1. Rockets; the essential place not made for plants (but in some cases it might work).
"Huh... what is it?" she asked, twirling the object back and forth between her thumb and middle finger. The clerk behind the sturdy desk leaned over, raising a hand to cover her mouth, and spoke: "New tradition is spreading like wildfire. With this you take it and.. " By the end of the spiel, the buyer was blushing by just the thought of the whole idea working correctly (which she could pretend to be 40 percent, but you never know). "A-alright," she stammered, paying the employee accordingly and timidly walking to the entrance of the store - and then out.
The problem was that she didn't know what to do with it. She knew what it was for, but that was for normal, happy civilized people that ran meager lives. She was positively sure her life collided into his at the 'taking a wrong turn' mark. Besides that, she didn't know where it would be comfortably safe (he wasn't a festive man, then again - who was?). The middle of the entry room was too obvious, he hated anything besides tea, rockets, and silence, so she simply dragged herself up layers of stairs to place it in a nook of the rocket.. to no avail.
He returned late one day, face hunched in confusion and thought. She tried enormously to ignore him and his excessive rambling, but like many other things, it was a waste of her effort. "What is that hella' weird fungus conjuring out of that shithole? Ya plant some damn funky seed in that sad ol' hussy?" A flush rushed over her face, and at those unfortunate moments she squeaked out an excuse to leave the room (very flustered indeed, he just couldn't know).
"Hey, get back 'ere! I don't want no fucking mumbo-jumbo pooling out of that hellish wreck! It's bad enough after what your little ass did to it!"
Days later, she eventually gave in to his repetitive remarks (one of his finer qualities). Once again finding herself in dismay upon the beseeched, tilted rocket, he pointed at it - perfectly above himself. "Ya better tell me what this is right now, Shera!"
She curled her fingers together, face lowering down conclusively with a ripe blush.
"It's a mistletoe. You're supposed to kis-"
He cut her off. "This missile ain't got no damn toes-"
Then she returned the favor and obscurely kissed him by surprise. He turned redder than the berries himself.
2. Daily love and nurturing help the plant to flourish and live, otherwise you can look at these two and see why.

What 'Versioning' and 'Goldilocks Pricing' Mean For Your Small Business
On Giving Customers The Right Choices
What kinds of choices do you give your customers? We all like to feel like we're in control of something. After all, being in control is all about having options. Versioning and Goldilocks ("this is just right!") pricing are just two simple, tried-and-tested ideas any entrepreneur can use to give their customers a sense of control — all while boosting sales.
The need for control is built in to us as a species. Ask a child who hates veggies to choose between carrots and broccoli, and only rarely will they answer "neither" simply because it's not a choice they're explicitly given. On the other hand, give them an explicit choice to opt out, and chances are they'll choose not to eat anything.
"Just Right!"
The same principle holds true regardless of age. It doesn't have to be explicit either. Goldilocks pricing is obviously derived from the children's classic. Now let's explore that story a bit. What if Goldilocks made it to the Three Bears' house only to find one bowl of hot or cold porridge? Or two bowls – one too hot and one too cold? Or a tiny bowl of "just right" porridge and a huge bowl of cold?
The Goldilocks principle can also be used for pricing different quantities
She was starving at that point, so if she wanted to eat, she'd have to suck it up and have whatever was handy – leaving her with an unsatisfying experience. She probably wouldn't even stick around to sleep in any of the beds either. Now imagine if there was another empty house next to the Three Bears's. Let's say that house actually had a few more choices of porridge that Goldilocks could have seen through the window sill. She'd probably have broken into that one instead – regardless of the range of choices in the Three Bears' house or the tastiness of the porridge.
Remember, Goldilocks would actually have had to taste the porridge in both houses to make an informed decision. She probably wouldn't take the time to either. She was hungry now.
Why You Need To Make Choices (For Your Customers)
In case your analogical skills need refreshing – you might not be getting sales because you're not giving your average customers choices. It's often necessary to introduce different versions of the same product or service . Most businesses refer to these as "budget" or "premium/custom" lines.
More often than not, they don't intend get that many sales or even profit from these "too hot" or "too cold" options. They may in fact, be loss leaders intended to penetrate a market, or showcases to demonstrate a company's capabilities to the market. The bread and butter of these businesses will always be the "just right" lines. These will likely be responsible for most of their sales, if not revenue.
Multiple studies support this side-effect of "versioning" and by extension – Goldilocks Pricing. Take a look at this price-based example except from 1997 UC Berkley paper on Versioning Information Goods (Varian; 1997):
Simonson and Tversky [1992] describe a marketing experiment in which two groups of consumers were asked to choose microwave ovens. One group was offered a choice between two ovens, an Emerson priced at $109.99 and a Panasonic priced at $179.99. The second group was offered these ovens plus a high-end Panasonic priced at $199.99.
By offering the high-end oven, Panasonic increased its market share from 43% to 73%. More remarkably, the sales of the mid-priced Panasonic oven increased from 43% to 60% apparently because it was now the "compromise" choice. According to Smith and Nagle [1995], "Adding a premium product to the product line may not necessarily result in overwhelming sales of the premium product itself. It does, however, enhance buyers' perceptions of lower-priced products in the product line and influences low-end buyers to trade up to higher-priced models."
You can see examples of versioning and Goldilocks pricing everywhere.
Real World Examples
Check out this typical price and feature breakdown from Avast!, a well-known antivirus and computer security software company.
It's clear which service they want to sell. They even highlighted it. It's also clear that the "specialized" server service here just sort of hints about the (specialized!) capabilities of the company, should you choose to go for it. There's also an implication that the better service you get from the "premium" line somehow rubs off on the other lines. From this we can infer Avast!'s target customers are small businesses, much like PrintRunner's customer base, and that the "Enterprise Package" is what they really want to sell more of.
And take a look at Toyota's current crop of sedans. Even without looking at the individual features of the cars, the stylistic details and MSRP all suggest most people would try to aim for the Camry.
This idea is exceptionally prevalent in food service. For example, at any given time, McDonald's will be offering one premium burger or another. In an actual store there are typically fewer choices offered than this in order to speed up orders, help quality control, and speed up your decision.
Imagine If you had to deal with this entire sheet every time you went to McDonald's! In reality though, only a few of these will be prominently presented.
On the other end of the spectrum, they also have a dollar menu – on which they sometimes lose money (though they get most of it back through beverages and fries). Another thing is sure – whatever premium sandwiches they have, McDonald's bestselling sandwiches are perennially their core items: Big Macs, and Double Cheeseburgers.
This will all tell you two things – the introduction and control of variety is a calculated way they boost sales and keep people interested, and too many choices can ruin whatever positive effect versioning gives you.
Bottom line? Always have something a little bit nicer on offer, and more customers will "settle" for your standard product or service.

Jadia: Allies
Wiping a trickle of blood from her split lip, Jadia glared up at the man, dazed.
"So, missy, are you gonna tell me who you are and what you're doing here?"
"Only if you tell me who you are and why you have powers," Jadia snarled. She was in the disadvantages position, yet she still pushed her questions onwards.
"So you're interested in those of us with powers too? Why?"
"Why do you think?"
"There are many unsavory characters who'd love to rid the world of those with the genetic mutation. Who are you working for?"
"I'm working for myself!" Jadia spat.
"Liar!" The man reached out and slapped Jadia, leaving a large red handprint across her right cheek. He was strong. "Who are you working for?"
"No-one, you…!" She yelled, "And, I've got proof!"
Jadia shot him a series of images through to his mind. The mental wall was still as firm as before, but she placed the images at his 'door'; she wouldn't need to overcome anything so strong.
After a moment, Jadia felt the man's mental wall crumble.
"Leo Hanson," he said, giving her a hand up, "Sorry about that, but we've had all kinds of spies coming here to steal the information we keep. You aren't the first person to break in. You won't be the last. Luckily, our security systems have improved, as you probably could tell." He smiled.
"Jadia Stone. (That's spelt with a 'J', by the way)," Jadia replied, "It's quite alright; I've been 'on-the-run' from evil for a while, I'm used to a bit of a chase. Why have you got pictures of my friends on the computer systems here?"
"Follow me, Miss Stone. I'll show you what we do here."
Leo set off at a quick pace, and Jadia jogged behind him, whilst he kept chattering.
"We're keeping tabs on those people whom we suspect have powers like you and me. In fact, recently, we've had to work overtime, as we've lost some of them."
"What do you mean 'lost'?"
"They're just gone. My 'eyes' have not seen them in their usual daily routines. It was just a couple of teens at first, Sapphire and James, from the same district, but now we're hearing of others who've vanished from all across the country."
"He's a new one that my 'eyes' have spotted. Calming, apparently. That's an odd one," Leo pointed out. "Recently, there seems to have been a rise in the number of people whose powers are becoming obvious."
"Hmm," Jadia pursed her lips, "I've learnt not trust anyone now- not even my own family."
Leo slowed down his pace, and looked closely at her as she walked beside him.
"But you trust me, don't you, Miss Stone?"
"You've haven't actually tried to kill me yet," she laughed, tossing her amber hair like a mane. Underneath, some memories stirred Jadia's heart, and it took some effort not to be overcome by curious worry.
Those people who used to be my friends… Are they in trouble again?
They returned to the lab, or a similar-looking one in any case, filled with the same type of equipment, but this time, it had a couple of other scientists within. Both wore plain clothes, instead of the stereotypical white lab-coats.
Finally, in the bright lamplight, Jadia had a clear view of Leo. He had a dark mixed-race skin, with short deep black hair, and eyes of liquid jet.
And, all in all, he looked rather handsome!
"Welcome to our laboratories (there are more through that door)," Leo indicated, gesturing. The other scientists looked up, surprised. Suddenly, Jadia felt sorely overdressed.
"As far as I know," Jadia heard a whisper in her ear, "We are the only two here who have the mutation. These people just think that we are a lesser branch of the secret services, particularly, a missing-persons and identification unit linked with genetics. It's better that way, you know; the less people who have an idea of what we are, the less who will try to manipulate or mimic us."
"I understand," Jadia muttered back, "I never liked to show off."
Leo led Jadia forward.
"Guys, this is Miss Stone. She's one of the more…intense operatives, origin in the…England branch?"
"Yeah," Jadia stepped forward and shook hands with the male and female scientists, "I'm very interested in what might be going on…"
Then she rushed over to the lady's console and squinted down at the little headshots of Sapphire, Kevin, Caleb, and the image of a lanky boy with coal hair and bright blue eyes, who Jadia guessed was James.
"So you've been updated on all that's happened then?" The lady asked.
"Well, not really…" Jadia replied, "I've been busy and out-of-touch lately. Do enlighten me."
The female scientist tucked a strange of her black hair behind an ear and point to the buzzing monitor.
"It seems that, for the moment, all the disappearances we've noticed are occurring in a single country, where we've received information that these people have just gone missing, presumed in suspicious circumstances. It has been found out that they also disappeared some time back, but that the government had (almost completely) covered up all the media stories."
"Typical government," Jadia nodded, "So where is this place?"
"Well, that's why I thought you'd know… See, they all lived in central England."
"England?" A chill went through Jadia mind at the cold thoughts of her old home, but she pushed the aside quickly, and continued, "Well, that's certainly where we need to head then."

Another Young Boy Caught Stealing Phones & Money • But No Jungle Justice This Time (Photos)
By Sugar Daily 2 2016-11-21T09:18:00+01:00 SMH...They Never Learn
Days after a teenager was burnt alive for robbing and stabbing a woman with dagger in Lagos, another young boy has been caught stealing phones and other items from people at a party. Lucky for him, he was only beaten up, not killed by a mob.
Facebook user Bamidele Moses, shared these photos on his page, explaining: "Last week, 7 year old boy got burnt to ash for stealing garri, claiming he was hungry. Today is my Dad's Turbaning.
This boy came to our house yesterday, ate our Eba, disguise to be part of us, slept in my grandma's room and stole our money and phones. He left very early this morning, and unfortunately for him, we caught him. Don't trust anyone, and be careful with who so ever you mingle with."

Still, I did learn a few things about posing for the camera (neck out, chin down in that order) and making my nose look smaller thanks to the help of makeup.
Before picking up a brush to drag queen-ify Brown, Kardashian discussed never having had plastic surgery and how her style has evolved from Hermes dresses and Juicy Couture track suits to Celine jackets and Givenchy tops. She's growing up right before our very eyes.

SaxoSelect is a fully digital and automated investment service that enables clients to invest in a wide variety of investment and trading strategies directly from their trading platform.
When you open a SaxoSelect investment, it is automatically established in a new account in the currency of the portfolio and the investment amount is transferred from your default account. SaxoSelect follows an account managed by an expert trader or fund manager and automatically copies trades on the managed account to your SaxoSelect account with minimum latency.
Trading Strategies Trading Strategies follow the accounts of accomplished traders with a proven trading records and offer high risk/rewards on aggressive trading strategies. The strategies typically follow a theme such as Commodity Focus and Charts & Patterns - following technical trade signals, but are also discretionary following the instincts of the expert trader.
Equity Portfolios Equity Portfolios are Stock portfolios managed by expert fund managers such as the
Saxo Morningstar Moat portfolio, built on Morningstar research and the Global StockPicker portfolio, managed by Saxo Bank's fund managers or fundamental research.
Morningstar Investment Management Europe provides a model global portfolio of 30 equities which Saxo Bank manages through the Saxo Morningstar Moat Portfolio.
The stocks in the portfolio are rigorously vetted from 33 exchanges and rated using the Morningstar Economic Moat methodology. To qualify, stocks must demonstrate a sustainable competitive advantage and be expected to fend off competitors and earn high returns for at least 20 years (Wide Moat) or 10 years (Narrow Moat). Stocks are then evaluated using fundamental analysis to arrive at a fair value estimate and must be trading at a considerable discount to this estimate. Stocks are also screened to ensure minimum market liquidity.
At the end of each quarter, the portfolio will be reviewed by Morningstar Investment Mangement Europe and rebalanced by Saxo Bank if necessary. To reduce the number of stocks replaced and the associated trading costs, the portfolio only replaces stocks if an alternative can be found which offers a 25% improvement in its price to fair-value. The rebalancing to target weights is also subject to a buffer to minimize transaction costs.
All rebalancing will automatically be reflected in your portfolio.
Economic moats represent sustainable competitive advantages that allow companies to protect their value and lead to excess returns over a long-term investing horizon.
Eligible stocks for the portfolio are further rated using Morningstar Economic Moat methodology to qualify their competitive advantage based on 5 principles:
Stocks included in the Saxo Morningstar Investment Portfolio must have a 'Wide' or 'Narrow' Moat, demonstrating a sustainable competitive advantage being expected to fend off competitors and earn high returns for at least 20 years (Wide Moat) or 10 years (Narrow Moat).
Low Trade Commission
Saxo charges a service fee of 0.06% of the value of each trade, subject to a minimum of 2 EUR or the approximate currency equivalent.
Low performance fees
Saxo charges a low performance fee of 0.75% of profits (incl. VAT), calculated on the closing value of your portfolio at the end of each day and charged at the end of each quarter.
Conversion costs
The Saxo Morningstar Moat Portfolio is subject to a special low conversion fee of 0.2% which is applied to the value of trades in currencies other than the portfolio currency (EUR). Transfers to and from the Saxo Morningstar Moat Portfolio investment account in currencies other than the portfolio currency (EUR) are subject to Saxo Bank's standard conversion fee of 0.5%.
Saxo Bank manages the Saxo Morningstar Moat Portfolio based on a portfolio of 30 global stocks selected by Morningstar Investment Management Europe Ltd. Selection is made from the universe of stocks that have been awarded a Wide or Narrow Moat Rating by Morningstar Inc. Equity Analysts.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 29, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas rn. FELSHerald-Zeitung ■— -—- rn—rn-1 Vol. LSO No. 15 16 pages in 2 sections November 29, 2000 Wednesday Serving Comal County since 1852 50 cents GONZALEZGonzalez dies Former U.S. Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, a maverick legislator whose 37 years on Capitol Hill were marked by a passionate defense of the common man, died Tuesday in a San Antonio hospital .13 A Courts in middle of election mayhem By Ron Fournier AP Political Writer Al Gore sought a speedy hand recount of Florida's contested ballots Tuesday to ensure "no question, no cloud" hangs over the nation's 43rd president. A judge rejected his timetable, Democratic lawyers vowed to appeal and Republicans demanded, "It's time to wrap this up." As the campaign played out in five separate courtrooms, the vice president sought to accelerate thf proceedings to avoid further testing of the public's patience three weeks after Election Day. "Seven days, starting tomorrow, for a full and accurate count of all the votes," the vice president said shortly after his lawyers asked Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls to order the recount of 13,000 questionable ballots in two Democratic counties. The judge instead scheduled a Saturday hearing and ordered the ballots — along with one or two voting machines — sent to Tallahassee in case he agrees that a recount is needed. Bush's lawyers objected to Gore's timetable, saying they needed time to prepare their case against him. Gore's advisers were disappointed by the ruling, believing Gore needs good news from the courts in the next two or three days. MAJOR Waco ISD eyes Major for school chiefs job By Jo Lee Ferguson Staff Writer Jerry Major, Ph.D., Comal Independent School District superintendent, has been named the lone finalist to lead Waco schools. The Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees announced Major's selection on Tuesday. State law requires that the board now wait 21 days before voting on his appointment. During that time period Major probably will visit Waco, and Waco school board members probably will visit the Comal school district, Cl SD reported. "I started my career in education in New Braunfels 30 years ago and enjoy my job and love Comal County," Major said in a statement provided by CISD. "If everything works out in Waco, it's a professional opportunity that will be difficult to pass up. The Waco board is interested in hie, I am interested in the Waco superintendency and we will see what transpires over the next three weeks." No job offer has been made and there have been no contract talks yet, Major said. "They're kind of checking me out, and I'm kind of checking them out.... The 21-day period is for all parties to assess what they want to do," he said. The Waco superintendent's job has been open since June when former Superintendent Rosanne Stripling left. Her husband became superintendent in Texarkana and she is now a professor at the Texas A&M branch in Texarkana. Stripling's salary was $175,000 when she left after working for the Waco district IO years, including three as superintendent, Waco ISD public information officer Carole Perry said. Major's current base salary is $ 101,000. Perry said Major's salary in Waco would be negotiated if he were hired. Major, 54, was born and raised in San Marcos and has a bachelor's and master's degree from Southwest Texas State University. His doctorate is from the University of Texas at Austin. In time for Christmas? ¥ K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Prudencio Navarro (left) and Francisco de Hoyos work together Tuesday afternoon installing a new traffic signal at Oak Run and Highway 46. Texas Department of Transportation officials said the signal will be turned on before Christmas. The lights will flash for a couple of weeks before they begin their normal cycle. Comal Jail escapees still on loose Police arrest accomplice By Ron Maloney Staff Writer Comal County Sheriffs deputies arrested on Tuesday the uncle of one of the fugitives who broke out of the county jail early Monday. Detectives arrested Jay Goodfriend, 52, of New Braunfels on a charge of hindering the apprehension and pros- :- ecution of a known felon. The offense is a third degree felony punishable by 2-10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000. He was booked into Comal County Jail about 5 p.m. Tuesday and had not been magistrated at press time. Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace William Schroeder recommended in Goodfriend's arrest warrant that bail be set at $ 100,000. Comal County Sheriff Bob Holder on Tuesday assured the public that his jail is safe and secure and that an investigation is under way to determine what happened in the Considered Dangerous GOODFRIEND NBHS campus on high alert/ Below JOHNNIE WAYNE LEE EDWARD COOPER WEIRICH JR.

Assistant Principal Mike Reimer said the school would be on "high alert" until the escaped convict was captured. "It is a very high level security factor for us and the safety of our students and teachers up here," Reimer said. Johnnie Lee Cooper, Jr., 27, and Wayne Edward Weirich, 37, escaped from the Comal County Jail early Monday morning. The men, who are considered dangerous, remained at large late Tuesday. Weirich had been in the jail since June 19, 1999, and had been convicted of a third offense felony drunk driving and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Cooper was serving a five-year sentence after being convicted of kidnapping his ex-wife and daughter at gunpoint in January. He had been in the Comal County Jail since Jan. 31. His ex-wife is a first-year teacher at NBHS. Officers brought her to the school Monday. She was scared, Reimer said, but stayed at school to prepare materials for a substitute to take over her classes. "She is tough. She's very' upset," Renner said. "Shes just hanging in there. We dispersed (Cooper's) picture to all the teachers, faculty and staff, just in case he did try to come to this campus." Teachers advised students not to approach Cooper and to report his presence immediately.

Mail or drop off donations at 707 Landa St. in Intoxicated assault defendant takes the stand By Ron Maloney Staff Writer One year after Leticia Perez died from injuries sustained in a headon crash, the woman who hit her described crying uncontrollably on the side of the road after the collision. And how, through her death, Perez changed the woman's life. Christina R. Delmoral admitted Monday to driving drunk in the wrong lane of Farm-to-Market Road 2722 on Oct. 3, 1999. A Comal County jury will decide her punishment. Delmoral faces 2- IO years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Perez, 52, a passenger in the vehicle driven by her husband, Gonzalo Perez, suffered major injuries in the accident and died 56 days later. According to medical records read into the court record in District Judge Gary L. Steel's court, Leticia lArcz and her family repeatedly refused medical advice that she accept blood transfusions after the accident. Religious convictions were cited as the reason. An official familiar with the case suggested those refusals might have led to the dropping of an intoxicated manslaughter charge down to intoxicated assault. Tuesday afternoon, defense attorney Mark Clark opened his case by putting his defendant on the w itness stand and describing for jurors her life before and since the accident. , He said a psychiatrist would testify that she had been diagnosed with manic depression or bi-polar disorder and had been using alcohol to self-medicate. "When I sit down, FII look at you honestly and tell you there's good reason that she can be reintegrated into society," Clark said. Clark led Delmoral through the day of the accident, the number of' beers she had consumed and the New Braunfels bar she had visited with a friend. Delmoral described how tired she was when she drove home toward New Braunfels after dropping her friend at his pickup truck at Canyon Lake. "I remember slapping myself a couple of times, I remember opening my window to try to stay awake," Delmoral testified. Then came the impact of the accident. See ASSAULT/5A ' * .-SS;' ■Mi ;

Kain 33Mature
Well of course we won't have ANY time to make love to each other, knowing that the apocalypse started and all.
Im tired... tired of fighting all the damn time and this apocalypse is not coming to an end. As I fight these demons I watch how they fight along with me. Dina's fighting style is somewhat of a sword master which is odd, because I never seen her hold a sword before. The adorable angel isn't used to swords but still powerful. Instead of using her sword she uses spells and fonic arts to kill a giant group of those demons. She uses her sword to block their attacks as well.
I didn't feel like killing all these demons wasting my time when all I want to actually do is get married and shit but whatever. Forget it all...
I rushed up the giant cliff and stood on top of it watching the fight go down before my very eyes. Watching my lover and..... and my child fight these creatures of the underworld.
I raised my hand up to the sky focusing all the energy I had into this. The power of my light fused with the power of my darkness causing a dark aura to form with light filling the insides of it. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Give it to my two loves or kill myself with it? It was way too late to save this world and I give up. I've been through an apocalypse before and God destroyed the entire universe to make a new one, but I want this world. Not another one.
I threw the light and darkness to the battlefield causing every single last demon to die instantly. What did I just do and how did I do it? My thoughts of suicide has made me stronger and I hate it.
Dina and the angel appeared before me.
"You can at least give us a warning! And how did you do that?" Dina asked me out of curiosity.
"I knew you both would get out of the way. I don't know how I did it but it just happened. I just killed an infinate amount of demons with my bare hand. More are approaching and it will never end. Im going to go in the hell gate to stop the core. Close the hell gate you can say." I said before walking off with a smile so they won't think that i'm sad at the moment.
"I will see you both later my loves. I don't want you to come with me. It is dangerous."

Packers Postcard: An eye at safety
Green Bay -- Assistant coaches spoke for the first time this camp to reporters Wednesday evening. Some interesting comments from safeties coach Darren Perry. More on this tomorrow, but he believes moving Charles Woodson back to safety in base will allow the 35-year-old to keep making plays.
Perry also noted that the Packers will need one of their younger safeties to learn fast in nickel. After releasing Charlie Peprah, that position is also open.
For now, M.D. Jennings is the front-runner. He had his faults, no doubt, but Green Bay did make a bold decision in releasing the experienced Peprah before camp even began. The Packers did force themselves to get better at the position. The pressure is on Jennings and rookie Jerron McMillian. In releasing Peprah, the Packers did welcome "growing pains."
"I have a lot of respect for Charlie Peprah. I think Charlie Peprah is a good football player. He helped us win a Super Bowl so I'll always speak highly of Charlie. We've got some young guys who have come in and they have to show us that they can compete and play at a high level to allow us to go out and do the things we want to do defensively. But they're still growing, they're still learning. They're plenty athletic. They're just inexperienced. That's something we have to deal with and not be too patient with them. But we have to understand that there will be some growing pains.
"You're hoping that they come through for you and they need to grow up pretty quickly," Perry said. "So we're going to coach them up best we can. Whoever lines up are going to be the guys who we feel can get the job done."
Echoing Tramon Williams, Perry added that he expects Morgan Burnett to take the next step. That'd help with the learning curve for Jennings and/or McMillian.
"You can't replace a Nick Collins," Perry said. "He's a great player. It's unfortunate he had that situation with his neck. But we feel that Morgan Burnett is well on his way to doing some great things for us. Hopefully, he can live up to it because he's going to have to if we want to be a really good defense."
Play of the Day: File this in the "It's better to be lucky than good" camp archives. During one very sharp team segment for the No. 1 offense -- in which Aaron Rodgers went 7 of 9 with one 40+ yard heave to Donald Driver -- the quarterback threw one pass to Jermichael Finley near the right sideline that was tipped upfield and caught by Greg Jennings on the run for a big gain. It wasn't quite Brandon Stokely, but close.
Stock up: Both D.J. Williams and Ryan Taylor, as noted by Mike McCarthy after practice, made plays Wednesday. And it's pretty clear the quarterback is gaining some confidence in them. The two second-year tight ends (and close pals) both had some impressive receptions. With D.J. Smith covering him in one full team drill, Taylor made a diving catch. Williams has maintained his production, working the middle of the field well.
Stock down: Johnny Jolly. Well, it sounds like the former Packers defensive end won't be reinstated any time soon. When asked about Jolly's status Wednesday at Ray Nitschke Field, commissioner Roger Goodell said that he's not aware if Jolly has applied for reinstatement. In other words, don't expect to see him in a Packer uniform any time soon. On the field, James Starks bobbled and dropped one checkdown from Rodgers. Wide receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones both had drops, too.
Quotable: "M.D. has been around it a little longer and he's been pretty accountable and responsible with his assignments. We've liked his ball skills. So he'll be fun to watch as we move along here. He's made progress since we've been here." --- defensive coordinator Dom Capers on M.D. Jennings.

Here's Some Questions That Our SEO Clients Usually Ask
How Much Does it Cost?
It all depends on the size of your campaign, your competition levels, and the extent of what services you choose. Contact us for a free quote.
How long will it take to get top rankings?
When projecting the length of time for achieving search engine rankings, it's important to consider various aspects, including domain age, competition level, current standings/efforts, site architecture, and a variety of other factors. While we can make some pretty good educated guesses, with so many different aspects contributing to search engine rankings, there is no definitive answer. While clients typically begin to see some movement within the first few months (rank increases from page 7 to page 5, for example), substantial results (top of the first page) can take upwards of 9 to 12 months, or more, depending on the level of competition. Small businesses focusing on less competitive keywords ("Troy Michigan orthodontist" versus "Michigan orthodontist") will typically see quicker results. Beware of SEO companies promising rapid results. While it's possible to see results quickly when using spammy or unethical techniques ( blog/forum commenting, buying text link ads, article spinning, etc.), these practices will eventually backfire, causing the offending website to rank even lower than when they started, or to be dropped completely (blacklisted).
Do you accept every client that contacts you?
We only take on one project per location and category. For example, if you're a plastic surgeon in Chicago, we will not take on another plastic surgeon or any competitor targeting a location that you're already targeting. We would consider that a violation of our ethical code and a conflict of interest for all parties involved.
Is your SEO work guaranteed?
While 90% of our clients are on page 1 and usually in the top 5 listings, we can't guarantee everyone that their project will be the same. When you contact us initially, we take a close look at your site before accepting any payment. Most of the time, we will pass on the project if the chances are slim. This is partly the reason why our success rate is so high compared to the other Michigan SEO companies. We do guarantee you will be satisfied with our work and the progress that is made on your business's online presence each month and if you're not, we'll work until you are, at no additional cost.
Where do users click the most?
It depends who you ask. If your site is poorly optimized and you are spending money on pay-per-click campaigns, you will obviously see most of your traffic coming from the sponsored listings. However,eConsultantcy reported in 2012 that search engine users overwhelmingly click on organic search results by a ratio of 94% to 6% over paid listings. While we can also help you make your pay-per-click campaigns more profitable, our optimization efforts to improve your rankings in the free listings is typically the better investment in the long run. We also strictly adhere to Google guidelines, including the practice of "earning" inbound links versus what Google refers to as link building schemes.

Hardline Iran policy breeds more hardliners
Page Tools
The pragmatism displayed by the election winner offers some hope of peaceful engagement with the West.
Iran's presidential elections came down to a choice between a reformist former president, who sought better relations with the West, and a conservative whose most senior post was Mayor of Tehran. The West has been shocked by hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's victory over Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. The United States has condemned the election as illegitimate because many candidates were excluded by the council of clerics who hold the real reins of power. The slim achievements of outgoing reformist Mohammad Khatami attest to the limited power of the president. This election was the final step in reasserting conservative control over all arms of government, following the reformists' defeats in local and parliamentary elections, from which candidates were also barred.
In his first news conference, Mr Ahmadinejad, 49, alternated intriguingly between the expected voice of a son of the Iranian Revolution and the conciliatory tone of Iran's new breed of pragmatic politician. On the white-hot issue of Iran's nuclear program, he kept his options open by undertaking to continue talks with the European Union - against many hardliners' wishes - while "emphasising the right of the Iranian nation for using peaceful nuclear technology". Despite scorning his opponent's overtures to the US, he rejected isolationism: "We would like to have relations with any country that doesn't have hostile relations towards us." As for fears that he wished to impose strict Islamic codes and reverse years of liberalisation, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "In domestic policy, moderation will be the policy of the government. We will confront any kind of extremism."
There is a context, both domestic and foreign, to Mr Ahmadinejad's approach. He won by presenting himself as an honest, practical man of the people, who would help the poor and punish the corrupt. Mr Rafsanjani had come to be seen as one of a rich elite, not as a credible force for reform. Mr Ahmadinejad's promise of moderation was aimed at a volatile electorate (two-thirds of voters are under 25) that felt let down by reformists, and so settled for economic progress. The foreign context is that political and religious feeling among Iranians is sensitive to external attitudes. In 2002, when US President George Bush included Iran in the "axis of evil", Iranian reformists were dismayed. The "with us or against us" doctrine played against them, cutting them adrift; they could not be seen to accept the ideals or support of the US. A perception that the US wanted a boycott encouraged a big election turnout. The result presents the West with a challenge that is partly of its own making. Iran, by reasons of its strategic location, size and capabilities, cannot be ignored or confronted without great risks - the greatest of which is nuclear proliferation. Europe's continuing engagement with Iran could be crucial to containing these risks. This calls for a firm, measured approach, stripped of careless condemnations that, through Iranian eyes, can be seen as confirming another agenda, one of confrontation and regime change. Mr Ahmadinejad certainly represents an oppressive regime, but he celebrated a surprise victory with unexpected pragmatism. The West would be wise to reciprocate.
