The Distance
There lies a distance between all souls;
Upon occasion, is bridged with
Fiery and mysterious passion.
Gregarious souls
Claim to know this bridge
While souls locked in solitude
Perpetually mourn
It's absence.
Yet can one claim to truly know Love?
It is Magic,
It is Science.
It is Pain,
It is Joy.
Lost and Found.
In sooth, none know Love.
It is an exotic thing;
Worthy of both adoration and horror.
It is guilty of the most heinous of crimes,
Yet lauded for tear inducing heroism.
We claim to know Love;
And give it Colors
And Labels.
Burning Red!
Luscious Pink!
Are only colors which flit
Through an adulterant head.
Love is Distance.
It is knowing when to give it,
When to receive it,
And when to endure it.
Dear Reader,
I love you.

Provincial police are looking for two suspects who robbed an armoured van last night in Saint-Lazare, west of Montreal.
The thieves targeted a G4S security company vehicle at about 11 p.m., in the parking lot outside the Banque Nationale on Saint-Angélique Road.
Police say at least one of the suspects had a firearm.
Sgt. Ingrid Asselin of the Sûreté du Québec said the suspects tied up the two guards working for the security company and stole an undisclosed amount of money.
"The suspects fled and now our investigators are on the scene and are interviewing the victims," said Asselin on Friday morning.
Asselin said the guards were not physically injured.

Zarina Diyas is a Kazakhstani tennis player. Diyas has won five singles titles on the ITF tour. On 12 January 2015, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 31. On 8 June 2015, she peaked at world number 89 in the doubles rankings. Playing for Kazakhstan at the Fed Cup, Diyas has a win-loss record of 8–2.
Diyas played her first professional tournament at a $100K ITF event in Bratislava, losing in the first round of qualifying. She did not play any more tournaments in 2007. In 2008, Diyas played three tournaments, losing in qualifying of the first two events.
She won her first title at a $25K tournament in Astana, where as a wildcard she defeated Tetyana Arefyeva in the final. In 2009, Diyas battled through qualifying and advanced to two quarterfinals in Gifu and Fukuoka. She won her second title beating second seed Katalin Marosi to win another $25K tournament in Stuttgart.
The best result of the year came at a WTA tournament in Prague, where she advanced to the quarterfinals with straight-set wins over Kristina Mladenovic and Petra Kvitová. Diyas went on to lose to Iveta Benešová. In September, she played her first grand slam, losing to Chang Kai-chen of Taiwan in the first round of the US Open Women's Singles qualifying. She ended her season playing three tournaments in Japan with modest results. In 2010,
she continued to rise up the rankings. Following mixed results for the first half of the year, she reached the final at Rome, losing to Patricia Mayr-Achleitner. Diyas played two more quarterfinals and one semifinal before reaching the quarterfinals of the Premier-level Kremlin Cup in Moscow. She qualified into the main draw and defeated World No. 49 Gisela Dulko in the first round. She then achieved the biggest win of her career by defeating top seed and World No. 7 Jelena Janković in the second round.
However, she lost easily to Maria Kirilenko in the next match. In 2011, Diyas reached the final at Kunming. She then reached the semifinals at Wenshan but did not reach another quarterfinal for the rest of the year.

Washington, Apr 10 (ANI): Hollywood actress Christina Applegate, who was recently cured of breast cancer after a year-long battle, left her fans shocked when she was caught smoking.
She had quit the habit before undergoing a double mascetomy in a bid to get rid of cancer.
However, Applegate, who used to be a chain smoker, couldn't hold herself back for long and was spotted smoking in L.A"Christina had been a smoker for quite some time. She stopped smoking when she received her health news last year but, as everyone knows, it's difficult to break an addictive smoking habit," Contactmusic quoted a source as telling during the news show The Insider.
"Considering all the stress she's had over the years, she had that occasional weak moment which has led to the occasional cigarette. We need to remember she's only human," the source added. (ANI)

The 1839 Samuel Williams House is several miles from the historic district, and a little off the beaten path for tourists. That's why the Historical Foundation closed it to the public last summer— almost nobody was going to see it. Since then, the old house has been repaired, upgraded, remodeled, and redecorated, and foundation Assistant Director Beth Shriner says now they need someone to live move in and take care of it.
"Someone who appreciates the history of the house, appreciates preservation and its importance, someone who understands Samuel Williams' importance to the state of Texas."
Samuel Williams was one of the founders of Galveston, who helped finance the Texas Revolution. Shiner says Williams built the house for his family, so they'd love to have a family living there again.
"Absolutely we would. We're considering it a single-family residence. Children are more than welcome, in fact we have tied a rope swing on one of the oak tree limbs and it's waiting for children and grandchildren to come and enjoy it."
The rent is 1800 dollars a month plus utilities. Shiner says they're still taking applications and interviewing, and they hope to have someone in the house by July.

To say we're late with this news would be an understatement. Vittoria Seafood and Grill opened a week before A Taste of Sheepshead Bay in January, so my mind was elsewhere and I forgot to report it. But, alas, Vittoria is here, it's open, and so far I'm hearing good things.
Located at 3081 Emmons Avenue, Vittoria replaces Jumpin' Bean, which closed in October. It's owned by one of the former partners of the Avenue U staple La Trattoria, which he left to launch the new eatery, as well as a colleague
one of the former partners of OPM further down Emmons.
Have you been to Vittoria? What did you think?
Correction: The second partner in the venture was not a partner in OPM, as previously reported.

Do you want to find out how many words you can read per minute (wpm)?
(2) Read the text and try to grasp as much as you possible can while doing so with the maximum amount of speed.
(3) Click on the FINISH button to see your results.
(4) See the box on the right for the interpretation of your results.
Nota Bene: The text that you are about to read is a short snippet taken from the Wikipedia entry on "reading". If you are interested in learning how to improve your reading speed, the link on the right will help you do that.
"There are several types and methods of reading, with differing rates that can be
attained for each, for different kinds of material and purposes:
Subvocalized reading
combines sight reading with internal sounding of the words as if
spoken. Advocates of speed reading claim it can be a bad habit that
slows reading and comprehension. These claims are currently backed only
by controversial, sometimes non-existent scientific research.
Speed Reading is a collection of methods for increasing reading speed without an
unacceptable reduction in comprehension or retention. It is closely
connected to speed learning.
Proofreading is a kind of reading for the purpose of detecting typographical errors. One can learn to do it rapidly, and professional proofreaders typically acquire
the ability to do so at high rates, faster for some kinds of material than for others, while they may largely suspend comprehension while doing so, except when needed to select among several possible words that a suspected typographic error allows.
Structure-Proposition-Evaluation (SPE) method, popularized by Mortimer Adler in How to
Read a Book, mainly for non-fiction treatise, in which one reads a writing in three passes: (1) for the structure of the work, which might be represented by an outline; (2) for the logical propositions made, organized into chains of inference; and (3) for evaluation of the merits of the arguments and conclusions.
This method involves suspended judgment of the work or its arguments until they are fully understood.
Survey-Question-Read-Recite-Review (SQ3R) method, often taught in public schools, which involves reading toward being able to teach what is read, and would be appropriate for instructors preparing to teach material without having to refer to notes during the lecture.
Multiple Intelligences-based methods, which draw upon the reader's diverse ways of thinking and knowing to enrich his or her appreciation of the text. Reading is fundamentally a linguistic activity: one can basically comprehend a text without resorting to other intelligences, such as the visual (e.g., mentally "seeing" characters or events described), auditory (e.g., reading aloud or mentally "hearing" sounds described), or even the logical intelligence (e.g., considering "what if" scenarios or predicting how the text will unfold
based on context clues).
However, most readers already use several intelligences while reading, and making a habit of doing so in a more disciplined manner — i.e., constantly, or after every paragraph — can result in more vivid, memorable experience."
Speed reading is a controversial study technique meant to help individuals increase their reading speed. The main objective is to escalate the speed while retaining a good amount of comprehension. If you want to find out how fast you read, make sure to visit our speed reading test and find out for yourself.
This guide is meant as an introduction to speed reading for those who would like to know more. Before we dive into this subject, I would suggest we point out some of the benefits in learning this technique.
The reasons for mentioning these are quite obvious. It will serve as an incentive, making us more inclined to master the technique.
You will be able to read more books in a shorter time span.
Learning new languages will become easier as your comprehension level most likely will rise (contrary to popular belief, speed reading could actually increase retention)
It will leave you with more free time to do other things.
The first question that comes to mind is of course; how do you go about doing this? There's no simple answer to that really but there do exist a few things one ought to keep in mind:
Know where you are: We are all familiar with the big red "You Are Here" dot featured on most maps. The map it self is pointless if you don't know where you are to begin with, the same can be said about speed reading.
A good way to know where you stand in terms of speed reading is by simply taking the free speed reading test on our website. Please note that I'm planning on adding a comprehension test along with it.
Read Frequently: This is the most important and the most fundamental part of all speed reading courses. Practice, practice and practice more. The general rule is that the more you read –> the faster you will read. Isn't true that a runner who runs often improves his speed? Indeed he or she does and reading is not much more different in this aspect.
Use a tool: A good way to start out is by using a pen or your own finger and use it to follow each sentence as you are reading. Try (gradually) moving your hand a bit faster and take notice of what happens with your eye movement. Your eyes will tend to follow the speed of your hand which is pretty amazing.
On a further note, using some sort of card, bookmark, or page-width item could help you increase speed in a more efficient way compared to using a pen. Wider objects will cover surrounding text which in turn prevents your eyes from wandering away.
Use interactive speed reading software: Advanced tools like software can provide you with a lot of practice exercises and an advanced progress tracking system which can help motivate you more to continue your learning and development in speed reading.
Make less fixations: There are several different methods to speedreading and each approach might sound a little different but in the end they all work after the same principle, namely;
the lesser fixations made –> the faster one will read.
In other words; the fewer times your eye stops in a sentence, the faster you will read. Thus we can conclude that speed reading is – in it's essence – the notion of reducing the number of times the eye needs to halt in order to comprehend the text being read.
Separate the wheat from the chaff: Another fundamental part of speed reading is the notion of prioritizing content. In most of our books we find that there's a lot of "unnecessary information" that you can just skim over. In order to find these unnecessary snippets, we have to pre-read the content. This means that you have to identify the most important parts of the book through skimming before you start the actual process of "reading".
It takes a lot of practice to be able to distinguish important content from unimportant information. It's therefore vital that you teach yourself to begin a reading session by looking over entire sections very quickly. Try to recognize patterns of repeated keywords, ideas, emphasized text (bold, italic etc) or other similar indicators of important concepts.
This will enable you to "pass by" large portions of the books content, slowing down only when you've reached something you know is important.
Facing Difficulties?
Learning how to speed read is not easy and some may experience a few difficulties on the road. Sometimes these issues are caused by external problems, not relating to the reading itself.
If you're experiencing problems with concentrating on you're reading material, please try the following:
Have your eyes checked: Sometimes people read slowly because they have an undiagnosed problem with their vision. Even if you're sure that there's nothing wrong with your eyes, if you haven't had an eye exam recently, there's no time time to do it but now.
Remove distractions: There are some people who claim they read better when listening to music or when they're in a crowded café. The truth of the matter is, if you want to read faster you can not allow other things to compete for your attention.
The lesser the distractions, the faster you will read. You should try your best to find a solitary place to read and make sure that the TV is off. If it's not possible to be find a solitary place, I would suggest the use of earplugs to drown out all the distraction.
Don't subvocalise: There is a common tendency among people to subvocalise or pronounce certain words to themselves. The degree to which people do this varies, some will for instance actually move their lips while others simply repeat the words in their head.
It doesn´t matter how you subvocalize (if you do so), it will slow you down! If you're afflicted by this and want to break the habit, you need to try your out most to be conscious of it. If you can't rid yourself from it by merely being conscious of it, then you might want to take some greater measures.
For instance, you could place your finger in your mouth when reading. Although this seems somewhat drastic it could be very helpful in overcoming the problem.
Further Tips
Start out easy: It's always hard to embrace new methods and this is why I recommend new students to start out by reading a book that they've already read. By doing so, you will have it much easier to skip certain passages and keep up a good smooth flow while doing so.
Big fonts > Small fonts: Another good thing to keep in mind – if you are new to speed reading – is to keep yourself from reading text written in small fonts. Start out by reading books with larger font sizes since they make it harder to skip lines by mistake.
Understand the purpose: My final and most important advice to you is; never forget the purpose of why you're reading what you're reading. Some things are simply not meant to be read fast even if you can grasp all the facts. There are times when you just want to enjoy a certain text's nuance and beauty and this can never be experienced through speed reading.

If you live in a condo, you may think that your association has taken care of all of your insurance needs. However, the association's insurance policy may only cover the exterior of the building. If you want coverage for the inside of your condo – including all of your personal belongings – you'll need to invest in your own condo insurance policy.
The problem? At first glance, condo insurance can be a little tricky!
You'll need to get coverage that corresponds to your association's master policy, but the details can vary from association to association. For example, some associations only insure the exterior walls – meaning that if anything goes wrong with the walls inside your specific unit, the association's insurance policy won't kick in. Or, in other cases, the association's insurance covers the bare walls and the bare floor – but you're responsible for insuring everything within/on top of them. A quick look at your association documents will tell you what kind of insurance they have – and, thus, what you kind of policy need.
But do you really NEED it? Yes! And here's why:
1. Because your lender most likely requires you to have it
Many of the lenders around the Golden State started requiring condo insurance after the housing crisis in 2008. Further, your lender may require you to have a specific policy limit. (You can always exceed this limit if you want to, but you'll at least need to meet the minimum requirement.) So, if you plan on getting a mortgage, plan on getting condo insurance.
2. Because condo owners love to upgrade things
Odds are you're going to make your condo your own after you move in. However, if your association's insurance only covers the bare floors and walls, you'll need your own condo insurance if you decide to make any upgrades – like if you install those gorgeous new hardwood floors or that striking new glass back-splash. Otherwise, those changes won't be covered if the worst ever happens.
3. Because a fire is a legitimate threat
Your California condo isn't just at risk of catching on fire because of a candle left unattended, a dropped cigarette, or old wiring. Here in the Golden State, you also face a size-able risk of falling victim to a wildfire. In the first four months of 2015, CAL FIRE responded to more than 1,100 wildfires. That's higher than the average (thanks to the historic drought), but even in a "good" year, California suffers hundreds of wildfires and thousands of burned acres.
Another fire threat you may not have thought of? Arson. According to the California Attorney General's Office, there were more than 1,200 residential arson cases in 2014. So, Mother Nature may not be the only one who puts your investment up in smoke!
4. Because burglars are an even bigger threat
According to the California Attorney General's office, there were nearly 232,000 burglaries state-wide in 2014, and the majority of them were committed in residences (as opposed to businesses). If you don't want to suffer a major financial hardship if your stuff is ever damaged or stolen, you'll need condo insurance.
5. Because you don't want to be on the hook, legally
If you get HO6 insurance (the industry's name for standard condo insurance in California), it will come with liability coverage. That means if someone gets injured inside your condo – like by slipping and falling, for example – your insurance policy will kick in to cover medical AND legal expenses. The last thing you want is to be responsible for these yourself, because they can add up very quickly!

Fable: The Balverine Order(2010)
A novel by Peter David
The days of magic and adventure are fading away, giving way to the age of industry and science. As the aged last Hero sits upon the throne of Albion, two friends-the privileged Thomas and his loyal servant, John- set out for the East in search of a legendary beast: the vicious, rarely-seen balverine. But their desire for adventure may be their ultimate undoing-because their quarry has just found them...

Immaturity and IntrudersMature
Back on the midway the suns blazed on opposite sides of the sky lighting everything a strange purple. Dawn looked at the deserted daemon city and frowned it wasn't quite deserted anymore. Tall, thin white skinned creatures roamed between the buildings.
"What the hell?" Sylver asked.
"I've never seen anything like them" Dawn frowned he looked at his watch.
"How long have we been away?" Sylver asked Dawn thought for a moment.
"If my maths skills are anything to go by" he paused. "We've been in Paradise for just under three days" he stopped again.
"And?" Sylver asked.
"Around a week" Dawn said frowning. "We've been away from the midway for maybe seven days"
"Well we're in no condition for any kind of confrontation" Sylver stated.
"Maybe we can camp here" Chrys said quietly.
"Well I don't know about anyone else" Sylver said "but I'm going to have to feed soon" Maxwell and the others nodded in agreement.
"You fed two nearly three days ago" Malachi frowned
"We burn it quicker under stress" Sylver stated smiling slightly.
"We can do it" Deacon said Sylver shook his head.
"Dawn cant, Allegra's not in full health that leaves you and Malachi to feed five of us"
"It won't be enough" Dawn growled.
"No" Dawn growled at Deacon.
"We need to find somewhere where we're safe" Sylver said. "Then we can get Gabriel and work out what these things are." Sylver jumped as Allegra landed on his shoulder her tiny hand on his cheek.
"I'm going back to see Gabriel" she said inside his head. "I will try and find a way to get him out and if not at least I can feed him" Sylver put a hand up to his shoulder and Allegra laughed as she jumped down onto his palm. "You and Gabriel are so similar" she said.
"They're not you know" Dawn smiled.
"I agree with Dawn" Sylver frowned he could only just see Allegra's small smile.
"You are though. You even smell the same" she took off before Sylver could even reply disappearing into the treetops.
"What did she mean by that?" Sylver growled Dawn sniggered.
"I'm afraid I do, mostly, agree with her on that one" he smiled.
"What?" Sylver snapped looking puzzled.
"Me too" Deacon grinned clapping a hand on Sylver's shoulder.
"Huh?" Maxwell and the others were in fits of laughter. "Will you lot grow up" Sylver snapped Dawn smiled at him.
"You sound like him too" he said."Come on lets go"
"Where?" Maxwell asked.
"If we can get to the Underworld that would be the best place for now" Dawn said he sighed.
"Well we can stop here for a little while until nightfall" Sylver growled he was still irritated.
"If there is one" Dawn said looking at the sunrise.

Spectacular video: huge herd of 800 cattle led through deep water
March 10, 2016 12:18 PM (UTC+8)
This aerial shot shows a huge herd of cattle being moved around seven miles across deep waters. After all, the age-old Tasmanian tradition of moving livestock between island paddocks hasn't disappeared on Robbins Island in the north-west of the southern state of Australia. The path between the island and mainland Tasmania is only known to the Hammond family and a few locals.

We loved our stay in Budapest, Alessandro, our host was super nice. The apartment is located in an excellent, you have the metro station and bus stop minutes away by foot. Apartment is very nice and cozy.
Alessandro's place was great! The location couldn't have been better, we didn't need to take public transportation at any time since it was all at walking distance. Alessandro was really nice, he explained to us everything we needed to know about Budapest: its restaurants, places to go out, and the monuments we should see. The apartment is a little old from the outside but in the inside it is very clean and looked even better than in the pictures. I really recommend it!
We had a fabulous 5 days in Budapest. We choose the apartment because it was in a perfect place to walk around the city, 15-20 mins from lots of different attractions. Although on a main road we were not disturbed by the traffic too often just the occasional emergency vehicle. Apartment was good and we always got a quick and helpful response from the vendor when we made contact.
The apartment was very nice good space and good location
The best was the host Corrado. He made us feel welcomed and gave very good information and when we phoned him he was very friendly He prepared the flat after our wishes in a very good way
Nothing bad to say about this flat only GO THERE!
Apartment was very good value, and a great location- bars and restaurants minutes away, and you can walk to all the main sights in Budapest. The mattresses were very soft, and could do with being replaced, but otherwise we had a comfortable stay.
Great Place to stay !
Alessandro is a very nice person. He help us with a lot of things. Apartment is very well located and Budapest is simply beautifull.
Greetings from Poland
A brilliant location and excellent space for three or four persons.
Had a pleasant stay.
Everything went smoothly.
Excellent value for money.
Helpful and friendly host
3 of us stayed here for 3 nights. I dealt with Alessandro who manages the apartment - he arranged our pick up from the airport and was at the apartment when we arrived. He was very friendly and helpful and had a wonderful wall map showing places of interest. The apartment had a lovely spacious feeling - one of the beds we used was in the living room but as the room was lovely and large it didn't intrude. The apartment had 2 bathrooms which was great. We only had breakfast in the apartment and we had what we needed for that. The apartment is very centrally based with lovely restaurant just around the corner. If I return to Budapest I'd stay in this apartment
Everything is just as described on wimdu, clean and complete. Allesandro is a very friendly and helpful guy and gave us lots of hints for our time in Budapest. The area where is apartment is located is also ideal for a city trip as it is very central! Metro and subway are about 2 minutes walking from the apartment! Wi-fi also works perfect. Thank you!!

Episode 10
The high command staff and the Outer World Alliance President and over a dozen military police officers were waiting in the sealed off hanger bay when the M50 scout came roaring into the hanger bay. Rumors were spreading around the station regarding the reason behind the sealing off of the flight deck and the arrival of the President Everett Cho. The President frowned and narrowed his eyes at the entry of the M50 into the hanger. That type of high speed approach by a scout was bound to instigate even more rumors.
President Cho was midway through his first term in office and indeed only the second President of the OWA. He was hoping to avoid bringing attention to the OWA until it was more firmly established with a much more powerful military that was capable of defending its interests. The formation of the Alliance came about as this relatively unknown branch of jump points was settled by those who fled the Empire for various reasons and had interest in establishing a free republic, realizing that only through unity they could prevent these systems from becoming lawless pirate infested space. Only one system under OWA control was known by the Empire and that was the Halcyon system, and since it was home to just some minor farming and mining colonies not directly capable of generating significant tax revenues and of little strategic value, they usually ignored it. There was much worry over the presence of a carrier in Halcyon system. He had been briefed on the developing events in Halcyon and the UEE's destruction of one of the OWA's civilian freighters and that some UEE personal had tried to prevent the attack. His staff was panicked that this was the beginning of an open war with the Empire that they were ill prepared to fight and would likely expose their hidden worlds to the Empire.
Cho had many questions for this pilot who was beginning to power down their scout fighter. It was highly unusual for them to break radio contact after declaring an emergency, and even more unusual for a request of a meeting like this to be granted. The commander of Derelict Station was a good friend of his and he trusted his judgment. Besides that, he knew that this scout was someone who was involved in the Halcyon activities and this was very likely to be significant. Something inside of him told him that this meeting that was about to occur would potentially change the course of the fledging republic and shape his presidency.
As his thoughts went on in his head, he noticed that conversation around him had stopped as the pilot approach with her mobiglas in hand and a deeply concerned look on her face, betraying much anxiety. Not wanting the pilot to be too uncomfortable he greeted her "Pilot, you have sure stirred up a hornets nest. The look on your face tells me that the news you bear is far more grave than even I was anticipating. Please, if you are ready, you may begin your debriefing". Cho, thought that she looked almost relieved that there would not be much small talk and could get right down to business.
"Thank you mister President, sir." Fisher took a deep breath before continuing. The news she was about to present was going to be received about as well as swift kick to the groin, so she decided to start with a show stopping one liner "Time is critical. You need to assemble a fleet to fly at max thrust to Earth." She winced as the table erupted into surprised exclamations and loud retorts.
"Why should we consider risking everything for such a crazy scheme?" President Cho finally directly asked Fisher.
"Sir, because the Empire will soon see the crippled hulk of a Bengal carrier getting towed back from Halcyon. And, Captain Malachi captured the crew escaping from the Bengal and is racing to Earth. And there is more! Sir, the reason that Bengal was out here… Well, just look at this…" She exhaled forcefully to relieve some stress, as she started the 3d holographic projector on her mobiglas. She started playing back the data she received from Franklin's transmitter and carefully watched the change in the faces of those who were able to watch the projection. Disgust and horror swept over them as the data presentation continued for several more minutes. After the presentation ended Fisher, briefly paused and then forcibly looked at those assembled and finished "The President asks why we should consider joining this race to Earth and stopping them before either party can reach it. The answer is simple: we must do it because we have no choice."
A minute or two of uneasy silence fell upon the hanger deck. Finally President Cho spoke up, his voice now weary and weak sounding as he struggled with everything he had just seen and heard. "I must take leave and hold an emergency meeting with congress and get this officially approved. I will present the information to both houses. In the meantime, Admiral McKenzie, assemble the full fleet and all reserves. I want them heading to the Halcyon jump point within the hour. Any ships that can't make the jump point within three hours, are to watch over the jump point."
After Admiral McKenzie accepted his orders and gave orders to his subordinates who dashed off to set the plan in motion, he turned towards Fisher and spoke "I know what you have been doing in working with Franklin on getting us this information. I can't promise you that we can save any of them, but what you have done for the OWA and even the Empire, even if they don't know it yet, is exemplary work. I am activating a lot of personnel, but we are in short supply of qualified pilots with leadership qualities. I am giving you a rather large field promotion to the rank of Commander and transferring you to the OWAS Vanguard, she is an old retired Imperial cruiser that has a single fighter wing that we recently acquired from a corporation who had been using her as a ship transporter. You are her new wing commander. Your glas will have your orders soon. She is under my command and is the flagship of our fleet. She I docked to the station currently, your glas will give you directions to her. I will be holding an officers meeting as soon as we disembark. Dismissed"
Before Fisher could even respond the Admiral turned and rapidly walked to a staff member nearby and started a conversation as they both briskly walked to exit. Fisher decided she needed to clean up before heading to the Vanguard. She went through the security checkpoint and made her way to the small quarters she had been calling home between missions. As she entered the room the lights turned on casting a strong white beam of illuminations on her surroundings. On the bed was a folder with the full notes regarding Commander O'Brian and his family, or at least what remains of it. She was previously tasked with analyzing O'Brian and other members of the crew of the UEES Artemis to determine the likelihood of them defecting or at least assisting in getting information. She had grown to develop a certain fondness for O'Brian, perhaps even an infatuation. She looked at his picture in the profile, smiled, and then blushed. What was she thinking? There are much more serious matters at hand.
----Meanwhile in the Halcyon System onboard Helios 1----
It was such a wonderful and sweet dream. It was on Earth, a beautiful sunset with a warm summer breeze, Tom O'Brian embracing his lovely wife tightly before boarding the transport to the Artemis. She was wearing her favorite dress and it was flowing with the wind just like her dark brown hair. He told her that he had to go to space in his fighter to ensure that she was safe at home. The dream was in slow motion in O'Brians mind.
Suddenly, the dream turned to nightmare as the lovely image of his wife became a rotted corpse with long flowing hair soiled with dirt and grime and foul worms creeping out of her skull. He tried to pull away but the embrace was unbreakable. The corpse spoke in his wife's voice "O'Brian, O'Brian, come back!" and then the corpse kissed him on the lips.
His face suddenly felt wet. But, this was a real wetness. He was awake. No corpse, no wife, just the cold metal ceiling of the medical bay on an Idris class corvette. His face was wet. He tasted the liquid sitting on his lips. Water. Another splash on his face with lots of water. He tried to jump up, but couldn't move. He was tied down tightly to a medical bed. He shook his head furiously to shake the water off. He turned his head to the side and saw Franklin standing next to a man in a doctor's uniform. She was dressed in an all-white pilot's flight suit that carried a logo on the left breast that matched the logo on the ships. There were a few others in the room, but his vision was still a bit fuzzy and he could not see well. The doctor started to loosen the straps.
Franklin spoke softly "Welcome back O'Brian. Listen quickly, there isn't much time. " A smile came from her lips "By the way, you look terrible" she laughed as she helped him sit up.

Indirect Effects of a Thatch-Inducing Herbicide On Soil Physical Properties Under Turf1
- I. J. Jansen and
- A. J. Turgeon2
A measurable effect on soil physical properties was suspected where applications of calcium arsenate resulted in: 1) thatch formation in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) turf, 2) restriction of rooting to the thatch layer, and 3) inhibition of earthworms in the underlying soil. The objective of this study was to determine the indirect effects of Ca3(AsO4)2 on the water infiltration capacity, hydraulic conductivity, moisture characteristics, bulk density and organic matter contents of surface soils from treated turfs.
The soil studied was an Aquic Argiudoll and evaluation methods included: 1) the falling-head, flooding method for measuring infiltration in the field, 2) the constant head procedure for measuring hydraulic conductivity in the laboratory, 3) a modified procedure utilizing Tempe cells for determining soil water retention characteristics, 4) the core method for measuring bulk density, and 5) a modified Walkley-Black method for determining organic matter content. Infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity were lower for the Ca3(AsO4)2 treated soils than for untreated soils. Treated soils had a higher bulk density, stored less water in the O to 1 bar tension range, and were lower in organic matter than the untreated soils. The marked alteration of soil physical properties observed to follow Ca3(AsO4)2 treatment is significant for turf management.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

The EU made the remarks after the first secondary case of Ebola in Spain confirmed Oct 6, which aroused concerns about the spread of the virus across Europe, Xinhua reported.
The patient, a nurse, who took care of an Ebola patient in Liberia, had been repatriated to Spain for medical care after contracting the virus.
"This case demonstrates that bringing Ebola patients to the EU for treatment is not absolutely risk free. However, the risk of Ebola viruses spreading from a patient who arrives in the EU as result of a planned medical evacuation is considered low by the European Center for Diseases Prevention and Control," an EU statement said.

MS: You recently went and visited Alabama. How did
your trip go?
DG: Alabama was nice. They are my favorite right now. They didn't offer me at their camp because they wanted to see my defensive film first. I mailed it to them today so they should be getting it soon."
MS: Who would you say is your favorite school right now?
DG: Alabama. If they offer me, I'll probably commit. I had a private session with their offensive line coach and he really liked me. After they get my defensive film I should know about an offer from them.
MS: Last time we talked, you had been waiting to hear back from Florida. How do they currently fit into the picture?
Gallington currently has Alabama on the top of his list.
DG: My coach talked to Florida yesterday. They want to wait until a few games into the season before they decide to offer me so they can see what I can do on the offensive side of the ball. I'm not going to wait for them though. I know I'm pretty much not going there.
MS: Texas Tech used to be in your top 2 along with Florida, are you still considering them?
DG: If Alabama doesn't offer, I'll probably visit (Texas) Tech during the season on an official visit. If I dont go to Bama, Tech is where I'll likely end up. I'm basically down to Texas Tech and Alabama right now.
MS: Do you have a preference on which side of the ball you play?
DG: Not really. I think I can be effective on both sides and I just want to play. I will probably end up on the o-line in college though.
MS: Has Tech been in contact with you recently?
DG: I just got a new cell phone and I haven't had a chance to give them the new number.

Weird feeling in belly button after tummy tuck.
It's been one year almost exactly since my tummy tuck. Aside from a small dog ear scar, it looks fine. The problem, is that I constantly have a very weird, unpleasant feeling in and around my belly button. It's hard to describe, but almost like a pulling - especially when I'm standing or laying down. Incredibly uncomfortable. Is this normal?

Weird feeling in belly button
No, what you are describing is not normal. Make an appointment with your surgeon to have this assessed in person.

Weird feeling by belly button
This is not normal and I wonder if you have maybe a hernia or a sensory nerve that is entrapped in this area.I would go back to your surgeon and have it checked out.

As a freshman last season, Nixon led the Matadors with five picks while also posting 36 interceptions. So far this season, he's posted five tackles and a pass breakup in three games.
Nixon will finish up his two-year degree in December and he will have three years to play two following the completion of the 2016 football season.

Barresi throws out test scores you paid millions for
by: Michelle Linn Updated:
Jenks, Okla. - Millions of taxpayer dollars and hours that Green Country students spent, preparing for and taking tests, may have been wasted.
Thursday, FOX23 reported Oklahoma's Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi announced 5th & 8th grade writing test scores will not count toward school A-F grades, given by the state.
FOX23 uncovered problems with the writing test scores last month.
"We do fundamentally believe they are inaccurate, and not a reflection of our students' performance," said Jenks Public Schools Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Dr. Lisa Muller.
Dr. Muller told us Jenks was asking the state to re-score the tests, because the results were not accurate.
"It appears that the graders did not apply the rubric accurately," said Dr. Muller.
Earlier this month, when FOX23 asked the Oklahoma State Department of Education how it planned to respond to that request, OKSDE sent us a letter mailed to Norman Public Schools, which also quesitoned the validity of the scores.
The state's letter said the test scores were accurate, the people scoring the tests were adequately trained, and Oklahoma students need to meet high standards.
Dr. Muller argues Jenks students are being instructed to meet high standards.
"Especially in our writing, we have worked with students for a number of years, on using text citing their sources, how do you craft an argument? That's something our teachers have received a great deal of professional development on over the last several years. They've been practicing in their classroom. I can certainly say the scores are not the result of a lack preparation for either the students or the teachers in our district," said Dr. Muller.
FOX23 asked Dr. Muller how frustrating it is that students and teachers spent so much time preparing for and taking tests that are now being thrown out.
"It is frustrating, although I do support the decision to not include the writing scores on the A-F report cards," said Muller.
FOX23 has reported Oklahoma ranks 49th in teacher salaries.
There's a teacher shortage statewide.
Tulsa Public Schools are especially hard hit, with substitutes covering classrooms, even now, during the second week of school.
FOX23 brought you a story earlier this month, from Owasso, about class sizes that are much larger than a state law, passed in 1989, mandated.
We've reported, for the past two years, catastrophic testing failures have forced the state to throw out scores.
So, if teachers are underpaid, classrooms are crowded, and test scores are being thrown out, some are asking why the state is spending hundreds of millions of dollars with testing companies, instead of spending that money in the classroom, on teachers.
"We're spending so much time, effort, energy, and financial resources on testing, on a way that really is not proving to be valuable for students," said Muller.
Superintendent Barresi says writing test scores won't count toward school letter grades, which we should see in the coming days, because they were controversial.
Dr. Muller says, after checking over the tests herself, she's convinced they are also wrong.
Earlier this year, the state ended its multi-million dollar contract with CTB/McGraw Hill, the company that provided these writing tests.
It's the same company that experienced catastrophic testing failures that disrupted testing in 2013 and 2014.

Known more for his bruising style of running, Stanford's Tyler Gaffney displayed his agility and breakaway speed in the Pac-12 championship game victory over Arizona State.
On the second play from scrimmage, Gaffney turned the corner, tip-toed the sideline and showed some burst in with a 69-yard touchdown run -- his longest of the season. He finished with 133 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries (6.0 yards per carry) to guide the Cardinal to their second consecutive Pac-12 championship and another trip to the Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio.
Gaffney's running, along with some fantastic blocking by the offensive line, also allowed the Cardinal to set up their play-action attack and keep the ASU defense guessing most of the game.
"There is no question: Tyler Gaffney has been the heartbeat of our offense all year," said Stanford coach David Shaw "… You just watch him and play after play he gets stronger, he gets stronger, he gets stronger. He just drags guys. The guys start rallying around him. The receivers are out there blocking for him because they know any play could be a big play. So he's set the tone for us."
Gaffney added a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs in the first half to give the Cardinal a 28-14 lead at halftime. From there, Stanford's smothering defense pitched a second-half shutout en route to a 38-14 victory.
"It was the O-line," Gaffney said. "They opened up the holes, and all they asked from me was speed and to run the ball. Then we opened up the passing game from there on out and that set the tone."

Harlequins, their back row split by the knee trouble which has shattered David Wilson?s season, if not his career, had offered the Tigers auxiliary flanker the guarantee of regular Premiership rugby, and a one-year loan deal was being finalised when Moody took off with the Lions-free England for North America in June.
His emergence there as the undisputed No.1 contender for the place occupied by his fellow Tiger, Neil Back, convinced Leicester that he was too good to let go ? even if Josh Kronfeld?s arrival from New Zealand would leave manager Dean Richards in need of juggling lessons to keep all three interested.
Of course, Leicester have not got where they are by lending their rivals a hand, let alone the best young openside in the country. If Moody felt uncertain about his future when he left, then Richards left him in no doubt about it upon his return.
The loan deal was called off. Richards put a new one in place, promising the 23-year-old that he would get as many games as his form justified, and not only when Back happened to be otherwise engaged with England.
Three weeks into the season, and Moody is the only back row forward not to have missed so much as a minute of Leicester?s title defence, never mind a match.
Kronfeld?s ankle operation has allowed the youngest member of the trio to continue where he left off in Toronto, Vancouver and San Francisco with England.
Breaking into Leicester?s back row was always going to be more difficult than breaking into England?s, especially with Back on Lions duty in Australia. Moody, almost 10 years younger than his inestimable counterpart, is the future for Leicester ? a point he rammed home during the champions? imperious second-half rout of Gloucester at Kingsholm.
The Tigers came from 15-3 down to win 40-18, and Moody?s contribution was a vital component. Indeed, Back?s introduction as one of four Lions unleashed from the bench for the last quarter would normally have been the signal for Moody to retire to the dug-out ? but they took Paul Gustard off instead, and switched Moody to the blindside of the scrum.
Moody said: ?I was half expecting to be called off. I would have been annoyed had that been the case but with people like Backy and Cozza (Martin Corry) on the bench, you know they are going to get on at some stage.?
By the time they arrived, Moody had pulled Leicester out of a hole at a time when they were in some danger of disappearing beneath Ludovic Mercier?s penalty bombardment. No sooner had the French stand- off stretched Gloucester?s lead to 18-6 than Moody seized Andy Goode?s towering restart with a soaring leap and accelerated away for the ultimate smash-and-grab try.
Gloucester, paying the inevitable price for their reckless inability to protect the ball in contact, knew the game was up before Martin Johnson completed the arrival of the heavy artillery from the bench. Johnson?s first act, the trademark catch-and-drive, created the platform for Moody?s second try from a scything 20-yard run.
Just as the introduction of their Lions? substitutes brought four late tries against Newcastle the previous week, so their belated entry at Kingsholm resulted in a points bonanza.
After Moody?s one-two, substitute left wing Steve Booth pulled off another of his eye-popping solo strikes, and Geordan Murphy?s dazzling finale as he waltzed round several tackles will surely result in a Six Nations debut for Ireland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
That will put him on course for a collision with the Leicester Lions for the Grand Slam decider in Dublin next month and Moody will discover this morning exactly where he stands in the pecking order when England name their squad.
Back, of course, will be there along with Corry, whose outstanding Lions tour demands that he takes over at No.8 from Lawrence Dallaglio, out until the New Year.
Moody cannot match Joe Worsley?s versatility as back row cover, but after what he did in America and what he continues to do for Leicester, England will surely want to acknowledge his importance as part of their World Cup operation in two years? time.
?You?ve got to be realistic. Backy is the best No.7 around at the moment,? said Moody. ?It was relatively easy getting into the England team in the summer when he wasn?t there. It?s a lot harder to knock him out of the Leicester side.?

Thanks for helping!
Stopped for a quick lunch and were amazed by the tastes (Italian ;) ) we discovered!!! Young and super friendly staff !
I only write reviews if I think they should get five stars!
Want to come back as soon as possible!
The food here rates among the very best I have had anywhere in the world. The service is great, and the view can be spectacular. The prices are reasonable. Only small complaint is that it takes a little longer than might be expected for the food to come out, but that's by American standards. We ate there twice last week,...
Fine Italian cooking from a young academic couple. Congratulation! I've been here probably 5 times and always chosen a new dish. Every time a wonderful surprise. Good local special beer. I recommend it.
Read the reviews about the his Restaurant so we took the water ferry taxi to Gandria arriving at 11:15am. Using my Switzerland map on my Phone we walked up lots of stairs (?) as there was no signage, typical. But after 35 minutes of stair climbing and some time to admire the view beauty of Gandria, Church, and many interesting...
Yes, yes, yes. The foot is excellent, the service is extremely friendly, and the view is unbeatable. It really made for a special evening. There were definitely a few groups of local regulars dining around us, which is always a good sign. They seemed like they'd be there until after midnight. I would advise making a reservation if possible, though...
The food and hospitality here and on par with the view from the terrace - and that's stunning! We stopped here for lunch en route home with 3 kids. No special 'kids section' on the menu, which also wouldn't be suitable between the fine dishes on there - but no problem at all to prepare something aside the menu for...
We just loved Le Bucce do Gandria! Food prepared and served with such passion. It was one one of the best places we ate in Switzerland. The owners were so delightful. They even gave us great recommendations for restaurants in Lucca and their addresses and who to contact. We loved both their recommendations. Our meal was perfectly paced and just...
We did't find an antipasto, so they offer us a "puntarelle" salad. Wonderful.
The fish, was good but mine had a cooking problem.
They solve my problem to our satisfaction.
Dessert , the chocolate cake was great, with passion fruit.
Honest prices, very good wine.
Not indicated if you are complicated as the choice is not much.
Best pasta and dining experience, stunning views, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The wine list is limited yet brilliant. Prices were very reasonable, you really get more than you pay for here.
We only knew of this restaurant thanks to TripAdvisor and had planned our visit after taking the Olive Walk from Lugano.
Most of the other visitors to Gandria tend to stay at lakeside level after the walk (as there are plenty of stairs on the walk so don't fancy doing any more!)
However, it's most definitely worth climbing back up...

Outdoor Mission Camp's midwinter gathering for youth
|Outdoor Mission Camp
|3190 Fie Top Road, Maggie Valley
|Feb 12, 2017
MAGGIE VALLEY — Youth For Christ's Outdoor Mission Camp (OMC) will open its doors to youth in the county for a midwinter gathering from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12, at the camp, 3190 Fie Top Road, Maggie Valley.
Students are invited to eat dinner, participate in a talent show and go for a hayride or go sledding, depending on the weather.
"This time of year things are moving slowly and it just seems like a good time to get our youth out for a time of friendship and socializing, some friendly talent competition, and an opportunity to grow community," said Jamie Shackelford, co-director of OMC. "I hope that the talent show will bring unity to each church's youth group and that participating in the area-wide event will bring community to our local churches."
OMC is an outreach of Youth For Christ USA. Youth For Christ reaches young people everywhere, working together with the local church and other like-minded partners to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in lifestyle, devotion to prayer and the word of God, passion for sharing the love of Christ and commitment to social involvement.
Volunteers from The Vine will serve food and help with supervision at this event. OMC invites area churches to take the lead in reaching out to youth. Maggie Valley First Baptist will host the next community-wide gathering.
RSVPs are appreciated so that the correct amount of food can be prepared. For more information or questions, call at 926-3253 or 336-583-9932.

A Deal with the Devil (cont.)Mature
"But to answer your question John, I was there on business. Anyway, where was I?" Jude scratched at his head.
"Horse betting with your psychic friend," Matthew blurted out, gulping down the last of the alcohol in his glass. That's one thing I always admired about the man; he kept track of conversation, and would often sound to the point. "Will you hurry it up, pal?"
"Okay, okay," Jude said, straightening out his jacket, "sheesh. I met Mr. Fleuric for some horse betting, and he did the same exact thing there as he did with the scandal; he predicted every outcome flawlessly, even down to the smallest detail. Hell of a thing, really. I had so many questions to ask him, but he didn't seem interested in talking about such a strange...miracle. Instead, he was more interested in making a significant wager."
"What made it significant?" I poured myself another drink, and polished the glass clean in seconds. Curiosity was burning in my gut.
"The bet was simple; whether I would win an Oscar this year, or not. With some of my breakthrough performances, and highly acclaimed roles, I am a bound to receive at least one. Hah! The tricky devil even let me decide which side to bet against - but the stakes! The stakes are the twist in this fizzling plot; he asked if I was willing to bet my life on it."
"And you said you would?"
"Of course, Matthew."
"You shouldn't risk what you can't afford to lose."
Jude laughed. "Coming from the world's richest bank owner, that's some mighty wise advice."
I interjected, "And Mr. Fleuric, what were his stakes?"
"The bastard said he would sign off the luxurious mansion," he claimed, his eyes as wide as a child's on Christmas, "you know, the one I was talking about, where the masquerade party was held. I've already discussed the value of the property with Thom, and his price was astronomical. I am glad I took him up on the wager!"
"You didn't..."
"I did John, I certainly did. He can't expect me to follow through, if by chance I don't win an Oscar. I doubt Mr. Fleuric would be so irrational as to murder me in order to claim his dues. But if I win, I guarantee you I will be demanding the deed." Jude laughed again, full of the joys that fortune provides.
"I didn't care to at first, to be honest, but to sweeten the deal, he mentioned a sudden change in luck would come my way if I accepted the wager. Luck, like the kind he had? If he knew a secret to it, I would have sold my soul on the spot!"
"One for the story books," Matthew sarcastically remarked, "you sure know how to captivate an audience, Jude. Are you ready John? I've heard enough, and it's late; you know how your wife gets - if you show up at sunrise reeking of bourbon, eyes as red as the devil's, she'll have your head."
"You're right about that, buddy. Let's get out of here." Matthew and I parted ways with the host of the evening. How strange it all seems now: to know that was the last time either of us would ever see Jude alive.
