Love Me, Tell Me, Forget Me, Kill Me
They had been friends for as long as she could remember.
They grew up together.
She knew everything about him and he knew everything about her.
What he didn't know was, that she was in love with him.
When they hung out, he was perfect. He wasn't an ordinary guy.
He was sweet, charming, cool, and the best part was that he was nice to her.
She had been in love with him ever since middle school, when they went to a new school and he was her only friend.
That is when she discovered how truly perfect he was.
She was now in 9th grade, and her feelings had not changed.
The school dance was coming up, and yet again she had no one to go with.
She prayed that he would ask her.
She would die for him to dance with her.
So during their daily chit-chat before homeroom, she said the most unexpected thing.
She said it. She had said that phrase.
She had dreamt of saying it, but hadn't ever thought through the impact.
He looked around, anywhere but at her.
Her face had turned a deep red as she looked at the ground. She meant what she said, but had regretted saying it.
Who knew 3 little words could make anything this awkward?
His not responding made her feel really quite silly and like she had said something wrong.
What is wrong with saying what you feel?
The ungodly silence lasted a few moments longer before he mumbled "I have to go to class…" as he raced away. She saw him walk and with every step, she died a little inside. She felt like dissolving into the floor and just disappearing so that no one could see her cry. But she was too embarrassed to cry.
More than anything in life, she wanted to hear him say it back.
But he didn't.
And just with three little words, she had ruined a beautiful friendship.
She couldn't focus at all during her next class.
She thought.
About him.
And how he made her feel before she said anything.
She would miss that.
She realized that being in his life as a friend instead of a girlfriend is better than not being in his life at all.
She loved him.
She loved him enough to let him go so that she could still see him every day. To give up her feelings for his..
So she met him at the locker.
She told him that it had been a mistake and that she shouldn't have said it.
With every lie she told him, she wanted to scream "I'm in love with you!"
But she didn't.
She slowly died inside as he listened to her lies.
And what killed her even more:
He believed them.
He believed her.
She was both shocked and relieved.
She couldn't believe he would just be able to forget someone professing their love to him, but at the same time was glad he did.
Things started picking up back to normal.
They talked like it was just a normal Tuesday afternoon, before going different directions
But she felt there was something really wrong.
Things shouldn't be normal for him because she was getting eaten up inside.
Just like before.
And she was still dateless for the dance.
She still wanted to go with him.
But after today, she had no chance.
She reached the end of the Hallway.
She was about to turn the corner when she saw him running to catch up with her, seemingly out of breath.
She needed gloss.
And fast.
Would it be rude to apply lip gloss while talking to someone?
She needed to act quickly.
Because he was talking.
About the dance.
And Trisha.
Her heart dropped into her shoes.
Trisha was a girl at their school.
She had great grades.
Great hair.
A great smile.
And even worse: Great boobs.
Here was the love of her life talking to her on his game play for asking Trisha to the dance.
She wanted to cry for the second time that day, but he wouldn't know why. And that would make her look stupid.
So she mustered up whatever she could find in her body; whether it had been dignity or courage, she would never know.

|Peter Chiarelli says Nathan Horton 'a longshot' to return this season, gives updates on Tuukka Rask, Johnny Boychuk, Adam McQuaid
|04.08.12 at 1:01 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said on a conference call Sunday that while he won't rule Nathan Horton out for the season, the veteran winger is a "longshot" to play again this season after suffering his most recent concussion in January.
Horton began skating last week but has not yet been cleared for contact. Chiarelli noted that Horton is "quite far off right now" as he still has occasional post-concussion syndrome issues. Even if Horton were to be cleared for contact, Chiarelli said the 26-year-old would still need "a couple of weeks" before he would be ready to play in games.
"Well, certainly if he were to be cleared at some point, he'd need at least a couple weeks to get back so he's quite far off right now," Chiarelli said. "I know he's skating, [but] he's had little bouts here and there with post-concussion symptoms so it's a long shot. I'm not going to rule him out yet but it's a longshot."
In 46 games this season, Horton has 17 goals and 15 assists for 32 points and an even rating.
On the status of the team's other injured players, Chiarelli said defensemen Johnny Boychuk (bruised knee) and Adam McQuaid (swollen eye) are both "day-to-day," while he considers goaltender Tuukka Rask "a little bit more than day-to-day" as the Finnish netminder looks to return from an abdomen strain/groin strain. If Rask is unable to play, Anton Khudobin will be Tim Thomas' backup when the playoffs begin against the Capitals.
|Patrice Bergeron ends Bruins' regular season in style
|04.07.12 at 6:37 pm ET
Three assists weren't enough for Patrice Bergeron on Saturday, so he closed the regular season by scoring the only goal of a shootout and giving the Bruins a 4-3 win over the Sabres. The B's finished the season with a 49-29-4 record and 102 points.
The game didn't count, but Bergeron's line gave the Garden a glimpse of what they're hoping to do in the playoffs. In addition to Bergeron's three helpers, the line got two goals from Tyler Seguin and one from Marchand. Seguin finished the season with a team-leading 29 goals and 67 points.
The Bruins came back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game in the third period on goals from Seguin and Marchand. The teams went scoreless through the overtime period.
– With 66 points, Seguin became the youngest player to ever lead the Bruins in points. He also tripled his total of 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) from his rookie year. Much of Seguin's success has come thanks to the fact that he's spent the season on lines with either Patrice Bergeron or David Krejci, but credit has to be given for taking the leap the team hoped he would take.
– The Bruins gave out their team awards prior to the game. Brad Marchand was given the Dufresne Trophy, as voted on by the Boston chapter of the Pro Hockey Writers' Association, for best play at home after totaling 17 goals and 13 assists for 30 points at the Garden this season. Zdeno Chara was given the Eddie Shore Award for hustle and determination, while Marchand also received the John P. Bucyk Award for off-ice charitable contributions.
– Fighting is a rarity in the playoffs, so Shawn Thornton got in one last fight — his 20th of the season — by dropping the gloves with Robyn Regehr in the first period.
– Bergeron's second assist of the day was his 400th career point, and he finished the day with 64 points on the season and 401 in his career thus far. His 42 assists this season ties for his second-best single-season total in his career. His best season for assists remains 2006-07, when he had 48.
– Tim Thomas did not get the 521-save (you read that right) shutout that he would have needed to remain the holder of the single-season save percentage record. Blues goaltender Brian Elliott, currently at .940, should surpass the .939 mark that Thomas had a season ago.
– Speaking of Thomas, Saturday marked just the first time in eight games that Thomas allowed three of more goals. That's actually a pretty good sign for the Bruins, as his overall sharp play over the last few weeks is a good sign that he's ready for the playoffs.
|Bruins-Sabres Live Blog: B's look to finish regular season with a win

|Anton Khudobin shines vs. Senators
|04.05.12 at 10:05 pm ET
The Bruins didn't have all their stars on the ice, but they still beat the team they are likely to face when the playoffs begin next Thursday. Led by goaltender Anton Khudobin, the B's defeated the Senators, 3-1, in Ottawa on Thursday night.
Khudobin made 44 saves, allowing only a Jason Spezza goal in the second period. The Bruins jumped out to a two-goal lead on tallies from Benoit Pouliot and Greg Zanon before Spezza made it a one-goal game in the second period. Milan Lucic gave the B's some insurance by scoring his 26th goal of the season in the third period.
Ben Bishop took the loss for Ottawa, allowing three goals on 27 shots.
The Bruins were playing without Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Johnny Boychuk, all of whom did not make the trip to Ottawa. The B's will wrap up the regular season Saturday against the Sabres.
– The chances that he could play in the postseason are slim, but it was a very encouraging sign for the Bruins to see Khudobin turn in a plus showing. Tuukka Rask has been skating since Monday, but if he isn't ready for the playoffs, Khudobin will have to be Thomas' backup. Khudobin last played in the NHL two seasons ago, and in his career he now has played seven games at the NHL level.
– Though he wasn't directly responsible for them, Erik Karlsson was on the ice for all three of the Bruins' goals. Karlsson leads all NHL defensemen with 78 points this season, but he might have a hard time beating Shea Weber or Chara for the Norris this year. Karlsson is a great player, but is he a great defenseman?
– Zanon's goal was his first tally since joining the Bruins in a Feb. 27 trade. It was also his second point as a member of the B's. Zanon put a shot on net from the point in hopes that it could get redirected past Bishop, but he put enough on it to beat the Senators' goalie unencumbered.
Zanon was also credited with a game-high nine blocked shots, all of which came in the first two periods.
– Torey Krug picked up his first career NHL point by getting the secondary helper on Lucic's goal. Krug, who the team signed last month out of Michigan State, was playing in his second career game.
– The Bruins improved to 38-0-0 in games in which they held a two-goal lead at any point.
– Adam McQuaid left the game in the second period and did not return. The Bruins issued no update on McQuaid during the game aside from saying that the defenseman was "doubtful" to return. He did not.
|Chris Kelly thinks 82 ain't nothing but a number
|04.05.12 at 2:32 pm ET
Claude Julien and the Bruins have shown that when the end of the regular season rolls around, they are far more concerned about getting ready for the playoffs than wrapping up personal accomplishments. They don't care about the number of games played, as long as they play a lot of them in the postseason.
Take Dennis Seidenberg last year, for example. The defenseman had often missed time in previous seasons due to injury, but was finally on pace for an 82-game season in 2010-11. It didn't end up happening, as the Bruins gave him the 81st game off to get him some rest.
After the team left Patrice Bergeron, who is one of two Bruins to play the first 80 games of the season, back with Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara for Thursday's game against the Senators, Chris Kelly will be the only Bruin left to play in each game this season. The team could give him Saturday off, or they could play him and give him his fourth career 82-game season. Never one to worry about his accomplishments, Kelly says he'll let the team make the choice for him.
"Whatever they decide, whatever's best," Kelly said. "I'm easy either way. Eighty, or 82 or 81, it doesn't really matter, to be honest. Whatever they feel is best for the team."
Kelly's other 82-game seasons came with the Senators, with the most recent one coming in 2008-09. His only game missed last season was the result of a visa issue following his trade to Boston.
"It's your job to play," he said. "Sometimes certain circumstances don't let you play all 82. Injuries, the flu, personal issues, visas don't allow you too. I think at the end of the day, it's your job to play unless you're told different."
While Kelly may or may not play 82 games, there's no disputing that this had been a career-year for the 31-year-old. He's scored 20 goals for the first time in his career, and his 39 points are also a personal best. Fan voting allowed Tyler Seguin to win the Seventh Player award this week, but even Seguin hinted that Kelly may have been robbed.
Not surprisingly, Kelly responded to that by singing Seguin's praises and pointing to others for his success.
"Obviously it's nice to score goals and contribute offensively. I've been really lucky to play with some great linemates in my time here — last year and this year," he said. "Ziggy's a really deserving player of that award. Obviously he's leading our team in goals, points, he's up there in plus-minus. That's a rare thing to see, a young player [with a good] plus-minus. So it's a great choice, and I think it's that much more special when the fans decide on it.'
|Claude Julien: Nathan Horton 'not close' to returning, but Tuukka Rask is progressing
|04.04.12 at 1:34 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins saw both Nathan Horton and Tuukka Rask take the ice prior to Wednesday's practice. For Rask, it means things are continuing to progress. For Horton, it's a small step in the right direction.
Rask has been skating since Monday, as he aims to make a return from his abdomen strain/groin strain by the playoffs. The Bruins have Anton Khudobin up with the team now, and it's likely that he'll start Thursday's game against the Senators. That should give Khudobin a little more NHL experience (he's played six games for the Wild) before the playoffs start if he's needed as Tim Thomas' backup, but in a perfect world the Bruins would have Rask back.
"Tuukka's been skating for a few days, and he's coming around," coach Claude Julien said after Wednesday's practice. "We hope to have him with us soon, at least in practice.
"With Nathan, it's just going out there — nothing more than just skating and trying to get a feel of how things are. Nothing more than that. He's not close to joining us as we speak. Still keeping our fingers crossed that it's going in the right direction."
Horton has not played since Jan. 22, when his second concussion in less than seven months forced him out of the lineup. His attempt at a comeback has been shaky this season, as he suffered a setback after trying to skate in February.
The Bruins don't know whether they'll get Horton back at any point in the playoffs, as the postseason can last up to two months. He's a longshot to return soon, but Julien says Horton is in good spirits.
"He's in a good spot emotionally," Julien said of Horton. "I haven't talked [to him] about anything related to hockey and him coming back. The last thing he needs is for his coach to start asking those kind of questions. That's not my job and it's certainly not something that would be a positive thing to do.
"I leave him be. Everything I do with him is small talk — how are you doing today — and he's looking good color-wise. He seems to have good color, and we see he's happy. Those kind of things are encouraging."

Old school wood stick vs today's sticks.

My question is, is there anyone who chooses to play with a wood stick over the new ones and why?
Wow we get a lot of these threads here ....
I'm 41 and switched to compos last December after using either wood or aluminum shafts when those came around with wood blades for 35 years or so.
I will never go back to anything wood now for several reasons. i tend to be winded so I will try to make this short and not explain why but instead just list my short reasons.
1. Compos last many times longer than wood and perform better staying like new until they eventually break.
2. I've saved literally hundreds (maybe $400+) of dollars because wood doesn't last and composites do. I'm big and strong and play pretty well with a heavy shot I might add. I have broken ONE single blade trying to shoot a knuckling one timer that caight the toe, probably would have broken a woodie as well.
Wood blades get 'puck pocket' where the blade cracks the height of the puck so I would have to constantly replace wood blades at $20-$40 a pop dpending on what I wanted.
3. Consistently the same flex throughout the life of the stick. Woodies cannot do that due to their organic nature.
4. The more expensive sticks (meaning the sticks past the entry level compo sticks) have puck feel comparable to wood. Cheap medium priced composites are not recommended if you like puck feel. I am sure someone will chirp in with an exception and has never used a more expoensive stick but I won a couple of entry levels when I was trying them out to see if I liked them and now use quslity tapered stuff that feels wonderful.
5. The lighter weight of the stick is a huge benefit especially for an older guy like me. And the kick point or "sweetspot" I always called it is better with a composite as they launch pucks cleaner than a wood stick.
I will say the velocity difference isn't all that much but it sure does feel like you are shooting harder with a composite as the material is great for launching pucks.
That is my final opinion on compos, I am absolutely sold on either a 2 piece setup or a one piece. I can see why there are no longer any wood tennis raquets or golf clubs, it simply literally is inferior.
Composites are good stuff and one of the best things to happen to hockey no matter what jack Edwards has to negatively say about them
he needs to realize the pro-stock super lightweight sticks are easier to break. Most of the sticks the average joe schmo buys are more durable by a lot.

A Smack in the Head
Marty was not overly passionate about produce. He did not think that produce ought to be organized. He did not care much for the positioning of oranges or the balancing of melons. And he certainly did not have much concern for the safety of a bunch of grapes.
And so, when life dealt him lemons, he decided to juggle them. And when life dropped an apple on his head, his only revelation was to eat it. And when life gave him the shortest carrot of the lot, he hid it behind the cucumbers. To say it quite simply, he did not last long at Jim's Grocer.
And besides, being unemployed was far more exciting.
Marty felt bad for the trees that had the undeserved pleasure of hosting his resume, but he knew the ink wouldn't last long. All that useless paper was but a fire starter. And just now it was beginning to smoke a little.
Striding through the park, Marty stopped. It was quite sudden. In fact, the frisbee that had hit him in the back of the head could not have stopped faster. Marty turned.
"Dude," slurred the athlete. "Totally didn't mean to hit you."
"Of course not. That would've been a decent shot."
The guy did not seem to understand, but the frisbee was in his hand again, and it didn't take long before his attention was gone. Marty still did not move. He watched the frisbee soar through the air. His eyes narrowed. It was a smack in the back of the head. Didn't that normally mean something?
He sat down on a bench and kept his eyes on the frisbee. The last time he'd been given a smack on the back of the head, it had been for a very good reason. It had made him look up, scowl, and then make eye contact with a very special someone.
The piece of cauliflower had come from an overly excited girl in the midst of a heated argument who he had then shared a relationship with for six months. Marty found himself watching the shirtless sandy colored guy with the frisbee. His eyes blinked suddenly and a look of mortal disgust crossed his face. Right. This time he'd been hit for a different reason.
But just as he was about to leave, he blinked in disbelief as the sandy man flicked the frisbee behind his back with as much accuracy as a peeing chimpanzee. The frisbee sailed into the sky, eclipsed the sun, and began a lofty descent toward the walking path.
Marty let his jaw drop as he spotted the frisbee's destination. And then, smack! The frisbee collided with the back of a girl's head who jogged the trail. Marty was on his feet in an instant, and sprinting toward the scene with superstition trailing behind him.
But he arrived too late. The girl had laughed, thrown the frisbee into a pond, apologized, and then continued jogging. Marty came to a halt beside the pond. The sandy man was attempting to fish the frisbee out with a stick, and his friends stood with their hands on their arched backs and their sandled feet tapping in the grass.
"Did you see the girl you hit with the frisbee?" asked Marty in a breathless slur.
Sandy man turned around. "Yeah," he said. "She threw it in the pond." He turned around again.
"I see," Marty said. "But did you see what the girl looked like?"
"No. But she threw the frisbee in the pond."
"So you said." Marty bit his lip. Sandy man wouldn't be of much help. Unless the girl had been smoking hot, he wouldn't have a single detail to offer. Marty sighed. A smack in the head gone to waste. This couldn't be happening.
And then he spotted a scrap of paper on the path. His eyes widened. He approached the paper as if it would burst into flames at any moment just to spite him. He picked it up and unrolled it with shaking fingers.
To his utter surprise, there was a single phone number scribbled in red pen. He put it in his pocket, gazed back at the sandy man who was now fishing his own sandals out of the pond, and then looked back down the path. What did it mean?
He began to walk.

Geoff Dyer's latest novel is in fact two long short stories, one set in Venice and one in the Indian city of Varanasi. Each story shares the same protagonist – a middle-aged hack called Jeff, who might, or might not, share much in common with his creator, Geoff.
In the Venice section of the book - a modern riposte to the Thomas Mann novella - we follow Jeff on an assignment to cover the Biennale, as he gets sloshed on Bellinis and meets a female fantasy figure made flesh in the form of Laura, a bendy and biddable American.
In the second half, death rather than sex triumphs, as Jeff prepares to immerse himself in the Ganges. By marrying fiction with travelogue, serious confessional with comedy, Dyer produces a heady literary package.

What people are saying about Comfortaire
For over 30-years now, Comfortaire has been the answer for those suffering from sleep degrading problems like pressure point pains, or an uncomfortable mattress that leaves them up tossing and turning all night. But don't just take our word for it. We welcome you to read some sleep-saving stories several of our bed owners have shared with us.
"I'm a long time customer of Comfortaire, and I'm happy to say that after 14+ years, my bed is just as comfortable as it was when I first purchased it! I still fall asleep immediately, and the best part is - no morning backache. Ever!" - Julie Z
We always appreciate hearing from our customers, so if you have your own Comfortaire story - we'd love to hear about it!
My wife and I have struggled for years on uncomfortable beds. Spending thousands on bed after bed and could never get a true nights sleep. Lots of promise but no delivery. We both now actually sleep through the night and wake up feeling like a new person. I actually look forward to going to bed where before I dreaded it. Same goes for my wife. [The U11] has been a blessing, truly. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking to actually sleep in comfort and wake up refreshed with no aches and pains. This is an investment in health and longevity.John and Carol
Heard about Comfortaire from friends of my parents whom have bought 4 beds from Comfortaire because they love the quality and the warranty. I also have a very old farmhouse with a staircase that is very narrow and also bends at a 90 degree angle after the first 3 steps and it will not allow big furniture to be moved up the stairs because of those factors. A regular mattress would have been impossible to get up the stairs if it were bigger than a twin size, let alone the foundation. So the ability for the bed to come disassembled in boxes helped me out a lot. I was easily able to move a queen size bed up the stairs in boxes and assemble in the room. I will have to tear it all back apart again to get it downstairs if and when I move. The ability to do that was actually a very big factor in my choice to buy from Comfortaire. After we found out what numbers we were comfortable on, we couldn't be happier. Hope it lasts a long time. Thanks!Brooks
This new N15 mattress has been the most comfortable bed, I could have asked for. I have back problems as well as wide spread arthritis in my back, hips, and shoulders and various other joints, as well as neck problems. The bed has not cured all that ails me, but i can say i wake up rested, far less stiff, and no additional pain that was caused from my prior mattress. I can actually sleep on my right side for a while, that I could not do prior to this mattress and being able to adjust the firmness. I look forward to the many years ahead with my new comfortaire mattress. I also got an adjustable bed and it helps alleviate edema in my legs and heartburn. Thank you for making my life more enjoyable.Kelly
I just want to say that we are very happy with our king size split-top Comfortaire N15 bed. Our pump went out and we didn't know what to do as the store we bought it from 10 years ago went out of business. Thank goodness we kept all the information as to when we bought it. I called Comfortaire in Greenville, SC and spoke with a customer care rep (Jessica) who was very nice and helped me with our issue. She informed me that our bed was still under warranty even though we bought it in 2007 I was quite surprised to say the least. That's almost unheard of these days. With that said, they will be sending us a new pump with wireless controls at no cost to us. We are so grateful that we own a Comfortaire bed that stands behind its product. We will allays own a Comfortaire bed because of their quality, great customer service and warranty we love our bed and are very happy to own one.Mary
These Degree 5 Sheets are everything you said, Lisa! So comfortable and COOL! I am so happy you talked to me about these wonderful sheets! Thank you!Debbie
We have four Comfortaire beds. Have always had good service from your company. I also appreciate the quickness of delivery. Thanks.Steve
This is the second bed that I bought from Comfortaire. We knew it was time to buy a new bed and we knew where we were going: Comfortaire. We had a queen size single chamber and we knew it was time to upgrade to a king dual chamber bed. I'm extremely happy with this new bed. We also got a set of King sizes sheets plus two pillows, which has only added more quality to this most pleasurable experience. I stand by Comfortaire and Ms. Jones and recommend it to all my friends and family. Before buying from Comfortaire, we always had the worst experiences. As a matter fact, it was in our top 3 worst sales adventures. I was skeptical about purchasing an expensive item online, however it worked out well for us. Everything came pack very well with no damages. In my opinion it is the best bed for your money. This is the best bed on the market today. I give Comfortaire and Ms. Jones 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! I will never go back to a spring bed.Bill
My bed arrived yesterday. I removed it from the boxes before dismantling my kingsize bed. Thank you for sending the sheet set. I had already bought a set and a mattress cover but had planned on a buying a second set just in case. Now I have my second set. This old 79-year-old widow got the queen bed set up and I slept in it last night. Had a wonderful night's sleep. Thank you for your good service and your help. The bed is set at 41 right now and I'm going to leave it there, as you suggested, for awhile until I see if I need to go firmer. My papers for the kingsize Comfortaire shows we purchased it in 2001. And it would have lasted me awhile longer if I'd wanted the big bed… Thanks again!!!!Edie
Comfortaire beds are the best. We've had a queen size for 9 years and love it. Through several surgeries and near fatal illness, our Comfortaire has cradled us in adjustable comfort and provided excellent sleep. We just purchased a king to grow old in! Thanks Comfortaire, for creating excellent products, made here at home, value that lasts.Richard
I have been recovering from a serious back injury for 2 years now. It has been a long, arduous battle, but the biggest improvement I experienced was after I started using my new Comfortaire bed. I love it!I actually bought an industry leading mattress company, was not satisfied and returned it, and purchased a Comfortaire by recommendation of my in-laws.Thanks again, and I hope you are able to continue to help people like me out there with your product!Austin

Examine the Benefits of Renewable Energy Innovation
The renewable energy movement is not a new concept, but it has seen recent innovations in the industry. Companies are striving to find out the best renewable energy options, from vehicle fuel to utilities of all types. It does come with a cost as discovery processes take time. So what exactly are the benefits of finding the best renewable energy resources?
- Depletion Of Natural Resources Is Prevented
The most obvious benefit is the prevention of natural resources depletion. Issues continue on how the world could run out of certain natural resources, without finding and implementing the right alternatives.
- Savings for the Consumers
Renewable energy provides better efficiency as well as savings to the consumers. Take solar power for instance, the energy itself is free. The technology is still in its early stages, as far as commercial affordability and acceptance of the products are concerned. The same goes for wind power in areas where this is a possibility.
- Environmentally Natural
Now, wind and solar power are not only renewable energy resources, but they are completely environmentally natural. Renewable energy is also about helping the environment as a whole.
Think about automobile emissions for example, we know they are harmful to the environment. The race goes on, not only for renewable energy but also for cleaner energy, and an effort to merge them for diverse purposes.
- Help Protect Future Generations
Renewable energy is also a way for the current generation to help protect future generations. No one wants to leave the future population in turmoil, when the energy sources are no longer available, or the world becomes barely liveable.
- Health Protection
People breathe in toxins daily just by being out and about. This causes long-term side effects and contributes to diseases and their related conditions. Renewable energy also protects people living in it. So why has the world been pushing for fast-paced innovation vs. protecting its own?
- Helps National and Local Initiatives
Let's go back to wind energy for example; initiatives for it could not be applied to all environments. Even if national initiatives are in place, the implementation will boil down to which locality has the right environment.
Many localities will be choosing certain renewable options that best fit their geographical area. This will greatly help their local economies, including jobs for the common worker.
- Pricing Stability.
Another thing that really shines true is pricing stability. How many times has the world suffered due to cost fluctuations in natural resources? Just think of gas prices when you need to make this comparison. Wouldn't you like to have lower prices when driving your vehicle?
- There should be no argument against finding the best renewable energy resource options for all purposes.
- Countries are arguing over certain natural resources, which are abundant in particular areas of the world. The solution is to seek out energy alternatives that will provide the best benefits.
- As an industry leader, the US should seek national initiatives for renewable energy, instead of making other countries become richer by continuously depleting their natural resources.
- Domestic energy security, reliability and control are advantageous when properly planned and implemented. When these will run smoothly, they will be benchmarks not only for this country, but on a global scale, as well.
The United States can be a leader in helping other countries thrive through a faster delivery of renewable energy. After knowing the benefits and issues about renewable energy, we can conclude that it is the solution to the current harmful effects of energy. The world should keep moving forward, closer and closer to the best energy alternatives.

Exercise and Heart Disease Quiz
Exercise Articles
Test your knowledge about physical activity and heart disease with the following "True or False" statements.
Check down below the questions for the answers.
01. Regular physical activity can reduce your chances of getting heart disease.
02. Most people get enough physical activity from their normal daily routine.
03. You don't have to train like a marathon runner to become more physically fit.
04. Exercise programs do not require a lot of time to be very effective.
05. People who need to lose some weight are the only ones who will benefit from regular physical activity.
06. All exercises give you the same benefits.
07. The older you are, the less active you need to be.
08. It doesn't take a lot of money or expensive equipment to become physically fit.
09. There are many risks and injuries that can occur with exercise.
10. You should consult a doctor before starting a physical activity program.
11. People who have had a heart attack should not start any physical activity program.
12. To help stay physically active, include a variety of activities.
1. True
Heart disease is almost twice as likely to develop in inactive people. Being physically inactive is a risk factor for heart disease along with cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and being overweight. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chance for heart disease. Regular physical activity (even mild to moderate exercise) can reduce this risk.
2. False
Most Americans are very busy but not very active. Every American adult should make a habit of getting 30 minutes of low to moderate levels of physical activity daily. This includes walking, gardening, and walking up stairs. If you are inactive now, begin by doing a few minutes of activity each day. If you only do some activity every once in a while, try to work something into your routine everyday.
3. True
Low to moderate-intensity activities, such as pleasure walking, stair climbing, yard-work, housework, dancing, and home exercises can have both short- and long-term benefits. If you are inactive, the key is to get started. One great way is to take a walk for 10 to 15 minutes during your lunch break, or take your dog for a walk every day. At least 30 minutes of physical activity everyday can help improve your heart health.
4. True
It takes only a few minutes a day to become more physically active. If you don t have 30 minutes in your schedule for an exercise break, try to find two 15-minute periods or even three 10-minute periods. These exercise breaks will soon become a habit you can't live without.
5. False
People who are physically active experience many positive benefits. Regular physical activity gives you more energy, reduces stress, and helps you to sleep better. It helps to lower high blood pressure and improves blood cholesterol levels. Physical activity helps to tone your muscles, burns off calories to help you lose extra pounds or stay at your desirable weight, and helps control your appetite. It can also increase muscle strength, help your heart and lungs work more efficiently, and let you enjoy your life more fully.
6. False
Low-intensity activities--if performed daily--can have some long-term health benefits and can lower your risk of heart disease. Regular, brisk, and sustained exercise for at least 30 minutes, three to four times a week, such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming, is necessary to improve the efficiency of your heart and lungs and burn off extra calories. These activities are called aerobic -- meaning the body uses oxygen to produce the energy needed for the activity. Other activities, depending on the type, may give you other benefits such as increased flexibility or muscle strength.
7. False
Although we tend to become less active with age, physical activity is still important. In fact, regular physical activity in older persons increases their capacity to do everyday activities. In general, middle-aged and older people benefit from regular physical activity just as young people do. What is important, at any age, is tailoring the activity program to your own fitness level.
8. True
Many activities require little or no equipment. For example, brisk walking only requires a comfortable pair of walking shoes. Many communities offer free or inexpensive recreation facilities and physical activity classes. Check your shopping malls, as many of them are open early and late for people who do not wish to walk alone, in the dark, or in bad weather.
9. False
The most common risk in exercising is injury to the muscles and joints. Such injuries are usually caused by exercising too hard for too long, particularly if a person has been inactive. To avoid injuries, try to build up your level of activity gradually, listen to your body for warning pains, be aware of possible signs of heart problems (such as pain or pressure in the left or mid-chest area, left neck, shoulder, or arm during or just after exercising, or sudden light-headedness, cold sweat, pallor, or fainting), and be prepared for special weather conditions.
10. True
You should ask your doctor before you start (or greatly increase) your physical activity if you have a medical condition such as high blood pressure, have pains or pressure in the chest and shoulder, feel dizzy or faint, get breathless after mild exertion, are middle-aged or older and have not been physically active, or plan a vigorous activity program. If none of these apply, start slow and get moving.
11. False
Regular, physical activity can help reduce your risk of having another heart attack. People who include regular physical activity in their lives after a heart attack improve their chances of survival and can improve how they feel and look. If you have had a heart attack, consult your doctor to be sure you are following a safe and effective exercise program that will help prevent heart pain and further damage from overexertion.
12. True
Pick several different activities that you like doing. You will be more likely to stay with it. Plan short-term and long-term goals. Keep a record of your progress, and check it regularly to see the progress you have made. Get your family and friends to join in. They can help keep you going.

Hey guys so here's the next chapter and enjoy.
Titans POV
"*Yawn*" Cyborg woke up to the smell of bacon in the morning. He unplugged himself from the huge hard drive and began to make his way to the ops room. What he saw horrified him to no end. Beast boy was in the kitchen frying eggs and bacon on the stove. "I must be dreaming." He said as he went up to the stove and grabbed a piece of bacon and ate it only to spit it out. "THIS CRAP ISN'T BACON, THIS IS YOUR TOFU CRAP!" he yelled at BB, grabbed the stove and slammed the hot stove across his face. Now BB was dumbstruck eggs covered his eyes and bacon covered his mouth while his face was as red as an apple.
He grumbled and walked up to the television but what he saw caused him to do a double take. He saw in the outskirts of Jump City a giant scorpion chasing a girl?
"Guess what Vlad sent us." Robin said as he walked in carrying a large box labeled ghosts. They all looked inside the box to see all different types of weapons: ecto guns, an ecto staff, gauntlets, and a bazooka.
"AWESOME!" yelled Beast boy as he tried the gauntlets on.
"Um Robin is that giant scorpion chasing a girl?" Cyborg asked as he pointed at the dessert. Robin looked up brought out binoculars out of thin air and examined the scene.
"Titans that girl is in trouble Titans go!" he yelled as they disbanded and headed towards the wasteland.
Danny' POV
I wake up to a familiar feeling in the morning a stand up in my bed as a blue wisp escapes my lips. "No way. Dani?" I say as I jump out of bed and transform into Danny Phantom and zoom out of the apartment ceiling and into the sky. Another blue wisp escapes my breath but its indicating that she is located in the outskirts of Jump City. "I'm coming Dani hang on." I said to myself as I zoomed off towards the dessert.
Titans POV
They all made it in time to see a girl shooting green rays at the scorpion while the scorpion was chasing a girl with blond hair and goggles. "Titans-!" Robin was interrupted by the sound of an earth made bridge moving and collapsing on top of the scorpion. "She wasn't running away from the scorpion." Robin said.
"She was leading it into a trap." Cyborg finished as the girl with the blond hair was interacting with a girl with white hair, green eyes, and a black and white spandex suit with the letter P inside of D.
"Robin she had the exact same aura as Phantom." Raven told Robin as the girl with blond hair and goggles floated on a rock and landed on top of the landscape with the titans. "What you haven't ever seen a superhero before?" she asked.
"Well I'm Robin and we are-."
"The Teen Titans rock on." She said as she fist pumped Robin. "Your Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and." She said as she pointed to BB.
"Uh Boy Beast, no Bast Boy, no-."
"Um Beast Boy?" she asked as BB squealed like a girl and turned himself into a turtle and hid inside his shell. She giggled at his antics.
"You think I'm funny?" he asked her morphing only his head back to human while his body was still a turtle.
"Of course." She replied.
"Curiosity avails what's your favorite color? What's your name? How did you get here? And do you wish to be my friend?" Starfire asked Terra as she floated five inches away from her face.
"Um blue, Terra, walked and sure." She said as Starfire grabbed her and put her into a bone crushing hug, but she seemed unfazed.
"Well alright then." She said as she got out of the hug and stretched her arms. "Hey Dani thanks for the save." Terra called out from behind her only for the girl with white hair to appear out of thin air.
"No problem Terra who are your friends?" Dani asked Terra.
"The Teen Titans." She replied shocking the girl a blue wisp escaping her mouth. And that's when Phantom appeared in front of Dani.
"Danielle what are you doing here?" he asked her.
"Get away from me who are you?" Dani said pushing him away.
"Danielle this isn't the time for this we-." But he was cut off as Dani threw an ecto ray at him causing him to get thrown into a few boulders.
"How long have you been following me and how do you know my name?" she asked as she floated above him her hands glowing green.
"Ugh Danielle this isn't the time for this-." He said as he stumbled up only for her to shot another ray at him so he would fall back down.
"Answer me or I swear I will beat your pedophile ass to dust" She said causing Phantom to cringe. "Fine then I warned you Terra, Titans cover your ears." Dani yelled before unleashing what sounded like a bunch of people moaning, green sound waves vibrating from her mouth and hitting Phantom head on.
Danny's POV
Crap she doesn't remember me. I thought as she unleashed her ghostly wail. I screamed at the top of my lungs, the only time I was impacted by a ghostly wail was when I vs. my dark future self. To say that it hurt was an understatement especially at the close range as I began to sink deeper into the ground. I had to do something and fast. I closed my eyes and covered my ears concentrating on being behind her and that's when I hit ground, I opened my eyes as Danielle stopped and looked behind her. "You started this!" I yelled as I took in a deep breath and unleashed my ghostly wail. The titans and Danielle were blown away and hit several boulders as I ended it.
"Danny?" she asked as she stumbled to get up from the crater she created.
"It only took you to piss me off and unleash your ghostly wail to figure it out." I said as I floated above her.
"DANNY!" she yelled as she zoomed and tackled me to the floor I was only able to see a black and white blur before I was tackled to the floor.
"HAHAHA stop it you, it's nice to see you too." I said as I helped her get up from off the floor.
"Danny Phantom you are under arrest for murder and for the destruction of city property." Robin said as the rest of the titans stood up and engaged in a battling stance.
"Ugh I don't have time for this Danielle hang on." I said as I grabbed her by the wrist and enveloped her in a hug as I used my teleportation, when I hit ground I opened my eyes I was relieved until something tugged at my leg. I looked down to see a black claw on my leg. "Crap." I said before I was pulled into a black vortex the last thing I heard before I was pulled in was Dani screaming 'Danny!'
Teen Titans POV
"I have him Robin." Raven grunted as she pulled at the ghost's leg. A loud pop was heard and he popped out of the greenish blackish hole.
"Titans go!" Robin yelled as they all charged towards Phantom.
"Oh no." Phantom said before he shot up into the air, Cyborg shooting at him with his sonic cannon while BB, Starfire, and Raven took to the sky hot on the halfa's trail. He zoomed straight into the clouds only to have BB in his hawk form stopping before he went inside the clouds.
"Why did you stop?" Raven asked only for a loud Bang to be heard and a hurtling scream and Phantom eyes closed electricity coursing through him as he fell out of the sky and crashed to the ground.
He stumbled to get up and when he did he was met by a steel Bo staff. He dodged left and right evading the Bo staff until Robin hit him in the stomach. Phantom doubled over Robin round house kicked him in the face causing him to go flying towards Cyborg. Cyborg activated his sonic cannon and shot him into the sky only to be met by an armadillo bouncing him back towards the ground. Starfire intercepted him an inch before he hit the ground and punched him towards the sky a loud CRACK was heard and Raven surrounded him in her black mantra and sent him towards Terra only for her to create a rock wall with a loud BAM Phantom hit the wall and fell on his knees.
"Ugh stay back." Phantom said through pants as he was on his hands and knees catching his breath as we all surrounded him.
"I said stay back!" he yelled as he fired electricity at Cyborg and Robin causing Cyborg to have a mini seizure and shut down, while Robin collapsed on the ground electricity coursing through him as he was spacing out. Phantom looked down at his hands with shock and fear. "No…no…no!" he yelled as electricity coursed through him and a blinding flash of light occurred. Where Phantom once stood smoke surrounded a small crater. Unknown to them that Slade was watching the whole thing. "Very… promising." Slade muttered as he slipped back into the shadows.
Danny's POV
I hit the ground, my legs buckled and I fall on my face as pain shot through my body.
"Danny!" I hear Dani yell as a shadow looms over me.
"…Dani…help me…to the…bed…" I said as she grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me over towards the bed.
"Danny what happened to you?" she asked as she covered me with a few blankets.
"…I…was to…weak…" I said as there were dark spots in my vision until the spots grew and I was engulfed in darkness.
I found myself staring at Jump City but the place was in ruins, debris everywhere molten lava covered where the ocean should have been and a giant red guy with four eyes was leaning on Titans Tower. There were two floating figures floating alongside him one wore my outfit except it didn't have the charm bracelet and was wielding a scythe while, He was next to him the being I hoped and promise to never become Dark Dan.
"Look who's joined the party." Dan said as he floated down towards me. The other figure following.
"Where am I? And how did you escape?!" I yelled as the other figure held the point of his scythe to my neck.
"Shut up I swear if you weren't me I would have killed you on the spot." The figure hissed.
"Wait your both me from different timelines?" I asked.
"Why of course except he's from a timeline where you do become the ghost king yet the ghosts rebel and kill you; so to get even you wrecked havoc in the ghost zone. That was until Clockwork decided to ban you to the mortal world where you decide to become the most powerful villain in the known universe, no one stood in your way." He said as the two began to laugh. "I hate to admit it but he is stronger than me, but weren't alone, this is a warning because no matter where your run or how much good you do evil…is…INEVITABLE!" He yelled as they both unleashed their ghostly wail.
"AHHHHH!" I yelled as I woke up sweat dripping from my forehead. There was a lot of clanging and crashing until I saw Dani run into the room.
"Danny what happened, are you ok?" she asked. She was now in her human form, she grew a lot after the last time I saw her; she was about a foot taller now only an inch of difference between our heights. She let her hair grow out still wearing that jacket and the same baggy sweatpants she wore two years ago other than that she hasn't really changed a bit.
"Nothing…just tired I guess." I said weakly as I tried to get up only to groan and fall back onto my bed.
"Danny you need to rest you are in no condition to 'go ghost' you need to let your ghost metabolism kick in and heal your fried ass." She said as I chuckled a bit at her antics.
"Danielle I haven't said the catch phrase 'going ghost' in over a year. What makes you think I'll start now?" I asked. "Plus I already know that I won't be able to do anything in my current condition so there's only one thing left to do." I said as I kicked off the covers and moved over to the side of the bed wincing. "Get your bum in the bed." I said playfully as she just giggled and walked towards the bed, grabbed the covers, lay down and cuddled up next to me as I wrapped my arms around her. "I won't let you go; you're the only family I have left." I whispered into her ear as I closed my eyes and welcomed the darkness as I fell into a peaceful sleep.
So review hehehe i know this was a short chapter but i promise the next one will be long till next time.

Now that you have developed a good understanding of who you are looking for and what might attract people to join your board – you need to get the message out there. You will need to consider how and where to promote the opportunity and then how you will find out whether these people are suitable for the role.
Advertising the role
Your promotion ideas should focus on who you want to attract. For example, if you are recruiting internally then your promotional activity will be focused upon them. If you are looking to recruit someone new to your organisation then your promotional activity will be much more externally focused.
Put yourselves in the shoes of your ideal person and think about where they are likely to go, what activities they may undertake and where they would get their information. For example, would the person you are looking for use social media, local or community facilities, or use a professional network?
Your board will need to decide which promotional activities are best suited to finding the person they identified in Activity 2: Skills and Experience Table. Take a look at Activity 5: Promotional ideas to help your board decide which promotional techniques are right for you. There is also an action column so you can ensure that tasks can be assigned to the right people to get the job done.
If your board has decided that an advert or poster is the best way to promote your board member vacancy, take a look at Activity 6: How to write a winning advert, which will give you some idea of what information to include.
You may also want to refer to the list that you completed in Activity 4 Board member motivations so that you can include the benefits of becoming a board member with your organisation in the advertisement.
It is important to focus just as much on 'selling the role' to your members (where you have them) as to those outside your organisation – there may be some great people involved in your organisation who haven't thought about being a board member before.
Even where you have a representative board, you may want to think about promotional activities that make people aware of the role and the procedures for putting themselves forward. For example, is there a coach representative or an officials representative, and are those respective groups of people aware of the expectations for the nominated person?
Jenny Fromer, Baseball Softball UK: "For BSUK, the ability to reach a broad network in our search for highly skilled board members is critical. We have had success from this approach previously, and know that there are exceptional volunteers out there who respond to this type of opportunity."
What if people want to know more?
It is difficult to provide everything about the role and your organisation in a single advert. Consider adding information to your website (where you have one) so people can read more.
Potential board members may want to talk to someone from the organisation to find out more about the role, so you might want to offer people the opportunity to email or call someone for an informal chat. You need to think about who is best placed to respond to these enquiries. It is key that people do get a response in a timely manner.
Meeting with potential board members
It is a good idea to meet potential board members. This will give them the opportunity to ask any questions that they might have about your organisation or board. It also gives you an opportunity to find out if the person is right for the role.
Being a board member requires a big commitment from an individual, but a formal interview to decide who will serve your organisation may not always be appropriate. You need to decide on the right process for your organisation and what best meets your needs. Try to put applicants at ease – you don't want to lose them at the first hurdle.
In some cases your process for appointment will dictate whether a meeting is appropriate, for example if board members are voted in at an AGM it may not make sense to meet potential board members before they have been appointed.
Meeting them beforehand may also may raise the individual's hopes and expectations of being appointed. However, if your board intend to make recommendations to your members at your AGM, then it may be useful to meet them in some capacity in order to make an informed judgement.
If you dont have a formal interview, how else can you meet potential board members? Have you got any events, championships or awards evenings that you can invite potential board members to? This may give the board member a chance to get a 'feel' for the culture of the organisation and the impact that you and they could have. It will also allow them to ask questions that they may not feel able to do in a formal setting.
However, it should once again be noted that if board members are voted in at an AGM it may not make sense to invite them to your events beforehand as this may raise the individual's hopes and expectations of being appointed.
If individuals have to fill out a nominations form then it is essential to incorporate a section on the form regarding eligibility, to ensure that the individual is eligible. You can adapt the language from Activity 8 Declaration form to help you here.
Board meeting observation
You may find that one of the reasons people are reluctant to become board members is because they feel it is all hard work with no benefit. To overcome this, why not let people observe one of your meetings to see what happens at a typical meeting, meet you all and see what being a board member is all about?
It is good for people to see the difference you make, the issues you discuss, and what it means to be a board member of your organisation. There should be honesty and transparency in the board meetings and you shouldn't be trying to put on a show for the new board members. It is important to see how matters are discussed and how any conflicts of opinions are dealt with.
Personal liability
One key issue for many people may be worries about personal liability. You need to be able to frankly discuss this and let them know about the measures such as insurance or incorporation that you have taken to manage this.
People may be reluctant to join a board if they feel they are opening themselves up to being personally liable. See help and resource for further information on managing this process.
Payment of Board members
You also need to be clear about whether your board members will be paid or whether you will be only providing out of pocket expenses. In some circumstances, and where your organisations is not a registered charity, you may wish to consider whether your organisation wants (and has constitutional powers) to pay board members for their role, rather than recruiting them as volunteers.
Your organisation needs to think carefully about the consequences of paying board members, both for delivering services to the organisation and the role and responsibilities of the individual board members. Board members who are paid may be accountable in law but those who act voluntarily are not. It is therefore critical that you consider all consequences of your decision.
If you are a registered charity there are specific requirements around the payment of trustees. Further information can be found at the Charity Commission – CC3 Trustee Expenses and Payment.
You may want to consider whether interviewing board members is appropriate for your organisation. If board members are elected at your AGM then interviewing applicants may not be appropriate. However, it may be useful if your board wants to make recommendations at the AGM for you, as an organisation, to meet the potential board members beforehand.
If your organistation does not have a process which allows for appointing and selecting new board members then you may want to think about running a more formal interview. You should think about who you want to sit on the interview panel. Should it be the Chair and Chief Executive – should it also consist of current or former board members?
You may also want someone from an independent organisation to give their thoughts. Many professional recruitment processes ask for an external panel member. When you have agreed your panel it is also worth thinking about the types of questions you want to ask and again it is important to be consistent across the interviews so you can compare and make a sound judgement on suitability.
Activity 7: Create interview questions template gives you some ideas for questions and also a template that you may wish to adapt and use for interviews.See below for activity 3-8 guides and examples

- 3 tablespoons canned low-sodium chicken broth, vegetable broth, or homemade stock
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2/3 cup cashews

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the broth with the cornstarch. In a wok or a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the cooking oil over moderately high heat.

Cook, stirring, until the sauce coats the vegetables, about 1 minute. Serve topped with the mushroom mixture.

If you're interested in Fedora 21, please read the review. Is this the best release since Fedora 14?
Give Fluxbox A Try
Are you getting tired of running Unity, Gnome or KDE on your Ubuntu desktop? Try Fluxbox, a windows manager that is light on resources. Fluxbox is based on Blackbox. It's extremely easy to use. If you are looking for an alternative to Unity, Gnome or KDE, then you should give Fluxbox a try.
How To Install Fluxbox
To install Fluxbox, you can access the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Fluxbox, and then Click Install. If you prefer the Terminal, you simply type the following command:
sudo apt-get install fluxbox
Start Fluxbox
To start Fluxbox, you will need to log out of your current windows manager. There is no need to reboot your computer. You will be taken to the Ubuntu Login screen instead. You can choose Fluxbox instead of your default windows manager. Mine was originally set to Gnome.
Right Click
Once inside Fluxbox, you can access everything using the left click of your mouse. Fluxbox has a simple menu that is accessible anywhere on the screen. Just right click and select any application that you want.
Adding to the Menu
Not everything is on the menu. You may have to add a few things. It's easy. The file is located in ~/.fluxbox/menu. You may want to edit it and add your own entries.
vi ~/.fluxbox/menu
It uses the following format:
[exec] (Gimp) {/usr/bin/gimp}
Change Background Image
You can change background by typing this command on the Terminal:
fbsetbg -f path/to/file/image.jpg
In addition, you can also change themes. Just right click and select Styles. Choose one from about 25 different themes. I happen to like bora_black.
Give Fluxbox a try. If you don't like it, you can always go back to your default windows manager. If you like it, you might want to stick around for a while. Enjoy the fast response of Fluxbox.
Linux Mint 12
Linux Mint was officially released on November 12, for almost a week now. Be sure to check it out if you haven't had a chance to look at it yet. For those not familiar with the Mint distro, Linux Mint is based on the latest release of Ubuntu, but with a few wrinkles. For starters, it works out of the box with full multimedia support.
So, no more hassles in trying to get your DVD movies and other multimedia formats to work, which is a common problem for people starting out with Ubuntu. You also get a Windows-like menu system. Hey, anything helps to smooth out the transition when switching from Windows to Linux.
Of course, not everyone in the Ubuntu community particularly likes Unity. Some, like myself, have reverted back to the old-style Gnome. I'm using Gnome Classic, albeit on Gnome 3. By the way, Mint 12 has Gnome 2-like features that's definitely worth checking.

the Moon River

Genre: Children Stories
Chapter1 (v.1) - the Moon River
Moon River
_Written by: Jory Stultz _
She stood with her bare feet sunk into the mud, pushing tiny pebbles between her toes. Looking behind her, over the grassy hill, she could see her house; not to far from the mouth of the creek. It made her feel safe knowing her mother was just inside.
There was a huge gust of wind that carried Mary's attention to the enormous trees on the other side of the creek. Darkness from inside the woods stared Mary strait in the eye. She was told by her mother never to go into the woods and she knew better not to. Mary was only eight years old, and she knew and acted her age; you might even say she reveled in it. There wasn't a sunny day Mary wasn't down by the creek catching crawdads and hopping along the stones.
Mary stared down at the water, at her wavy reflection. As the ripples settled she noticed something red in the water. It must be blood… She thought. But where was it coming from?
She followed the bright red trail a little ways down the creek and what she found puzzled her; something she'd never seen before. It was a white frog floating at the waters top. It appeared to glow as Mary knelt down to take a closer look.
"Wow!" Mary touched the frog and as she did, the glow around it got brighter and brighter.
"Are you a magic frog?" Muttered Mary, turning the frog on its side. She let out a gasp when she saw a cloud of red blood coming from the frog's stomach. "Oh my goodness, you're hurt!" Mary flailed her arms in the air and cried, not knowing what to do. Then the frog started kicking its legs. It was swimming away, toward the woods.
"Wait! Come back!" Mary yelled, chasing after it along the bank.
The darkness of the woods surrounded Mary, but the white glow from the frog lit the way. For some reason Mary's fear of the dark and the woods didn't affect her one bit. Her mind was still on the poor wounded frog. Then, after a long and winding chase, Mary finally yelled,
"STOP!" And it did. It stopped and waited for Mary to catch up. When she made it to the frog she saw something else she'd never seen before.Now, cradled in the frog's arms, there was a bundle of glowing eggs. They illuminated with spectacular colors that reflected off the waters bed.
"You're a mommy?" Mary tilted her head. The frog stared at Mary with big, black reflective eyes. "What do you want me to do froggy?" A tear fell from Mary's eye as more blood came from the frog. "I want to help you, but I don't know what to do!"
The frog looked down at her eggs then back to Mary and somehow she knew what the frog wanted from her. Somehow she knew the poor mommy frog wasn't going to be around much longer.
"You can't leave froggy!" Mary cried. "You're babies won't have a mommy to look after them!" The frog continued to stare at Mary with now fading eyes. "What? I can't take care of these babies… I just, I can't!" Mary pouted. "Can't you find another froggy to watch them?"
The frog's eyes began to close, slowly, and it's body softly sinking beneath the mucky water. Mary's heart dropped a little. She simply wasn't prepared for the responsibility. As the frog finally let go, its glow began to fade to a pale gray. She was gone and Mary was left alone in the dark woods. The faint glow from the eggs turned a deep-deep blue; streaming along the water like tears.
A sickening melancholy crept over Mary. She had never felt this way before. It made her feel cold and alone. In a sudden panic, Mary ran as fast as she could out of the woods leaving the eggs behind.
"I made you some soup mommy…" Mary stood beside her mother's bed holding a dinner tray that looked twice her size. It held a small cup of tomato soup and two slices of poorly buttered bread.
"Hi sweetheart." Mary's mother opened her weary eyes and placed a clammy palm on Mary's arm. "You made me some soup?" A smile came to her face.
"Mhhmm." Mary nodded and smiled back with pride.
"Thank you dear."
"You're welcome mommy."
A calming pause fell between them. It had been a month exactly since Mary's mother was hospitalized with a horrible flu. As days went by her symptoms didn't get any better. She often found herself struggling to do simple tasks around the house, as he strength was exhausted completely.
"Mommy? Mary looked up at her mother with wide glossy eyes.
"What is it dear?"
"When are you gonna be better?"
Another pause came. This one seemed to take hold.
"Come here baby…" Mary's mother whispered softly, trying not to get choked up. Mary climbed up onto the bed next to her mother and nuzzled into her side. "You don't have to worry about that, okay sweetheart?" Tears started to form in her eyes. "Mommy's gonna be better real soon, okay? She's gonna be better soon…" Mary closed her eyes and fell asleep in the warmth of her mother's embrace. Though Mary's mother knew she was asleep, she continued to talk and sing to her until the sunlight faded and the stars dressed the night sky.
As Mary and her mother slept through the night, a strange sound woke Mary from her slumber. Her eyes jolted open. She looked to her mom who was still sound asleep and decided she wouldn't wake her.

The Atlanta hospital treating one of the US aid workers stricken with the Ebola virus, and preparing to receive a second, has appealed to the public to show compassion, after receiving "nasty emails" asking why the patients were allowed back into the country.
Emory University Hospital is expecting the arrival of Nancy Writebol early next week. She will be treated in a specially equipped isolation unit alongside one occupied by Dr Kent Brantly who arrived over the weekend.
Officials there are striving to reassure nervous members of the public that the aid workers' presence in the city did not imply a risk of an Ebola outbreak on US soil.
"I hope our understandable fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion when ill Americans return to the US for care," said Dr Tom Frieden, director of the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC), also based in Atlanta. He noted the agency had received some "nasty emails" and about 100 calls from people questioning why the sick aid workers should be let into the US.
Dr Brantly and Ms Writebol became infected while working at a missionary clinic in Liberia. The country is is among three in West Africa that is battling the Ebola outbreak which has already claimed the lives of over 700 people, according to the World Health Organisation.
Dr Brantly was the first to be flown to the US aboard a private air ambulance because he insisted that the only single antidote available at the clinic be given to Ms Writebol.
It is believed that the same aircraft, fitted with equipment necessary to isolate the patient from the crew and medical attendants, was on its way back to Liberia to take Ms Writebol to Atlanta.
News video footage showed an ambulance drawing up at the hospital on Saturday and Dr Brantly, 33, stepping out of the back of it and walking gingerly with the help of a medical attendant to the building's door. Both he and the attendant, as well as the driver of the ambulance, were dressed head-to-toe in protective suits. Once inside, he would have been placed in a sealed unit from which no virus can escape. Close family, including Dr Brantly's wife Amber will be allowed to communicate with him only through thick glass.
For residents of Atlanta the drama of the doctor's repatriation was an occasion for natural nervousness but also of pride as commentators and others noted that capacity of the hospital there to give the highest level of care and also security against the disease spreading. The isolation units at Emory were originally built to treat doctors from the CDC who might accidentally be infected with a deadly virus.
"Nothing comes out of this unit until it is non-infectious," said Dr Bruce Ribner, who will be treating the patients. "The bottom line is we have an inordinate amount of safety associated with the care of this patient. And we do not believe that any healthcare worker, any other patient or any visitor to our facility is in any way at risk of acquiring this infection."
Among those who were apparently relieved to see Dr Brantly step out of the ambulance was Amber Brantly.
"It was a relief to welcome Kent home today. I spoke with him, and he is glad to be back in the US," she said in a statement. "I am thankful to God for his safe transport and for giving him the strength to walk into the hospital."Reuse content
