My apologies to strictly-san for erroneously referring to this as a birthday request. Anyway, happy reading!
"You could at least give me the benefit of awareness as to what this whole thing is all about," said Eriol as Nakuru dragged him with her to his closet.
"Why are all of your clothes blue?" asked his lunar slave, ignoring him.
"It's the safest color to wear. It matches almost anything, and it's more colorful than white," replied the Londoner, smiling sheepishly.
"Don't you have black outfits? You loved them so much when you were in elementary," said the red-haired woman, turning to him.
"I don't think so." Eriol sat down on his bed and watched her rummage through his clothes. "Nakuru, I just ironed those things. Careful!"
She turned to him, aghast. "You are in the middle of a life and death situation and you're worried about your clothes getting a little wrinkled?"
He sweatdropped. "I'm sorry. You didn't tell me I was in a life and death situation."
"Fine." She faced his closet again. "Your date is an hour away and you still don't have something to wear. If you mess up this date, who knows when would be the next time that you can have a chance like this. If you don't start looking for a girlfriend, you'll never have a wife and a mother for your future son that would host Clow Reed's spirit."
"Nakuru," said Eriol slowly, "if I and another person are really meant to be, fate would do something to oof—" A piece of red shirt landed on his face.
"Ooops," said the lunar guardian, smiling apologetically. "Sorry, Master. My fingers slipped—hey, that's red!"
"Um, yes… and?" It was a shirt that was given away for free to the faculty of Tomoeda University by a fastfood chain that set up a stall in their quadrangle in last year's sports festival
"That will do!" said Nakuru cheerfully. "We'll just pair that with a black jacket and your usual trousers!"
"But—" Before he could protest, the moon servant had pushed him towards the bathroom already.
"Shower as quickly as you can, Master," said Nakuru from outside the door. "We still have so much work to do."
"So that means I can't do my backrubs?" asked Eriol sadly, staring at the rubber ducky that he received as a gift from his students last Christmas. "How tragic."
When his servant finished dressing him, Eriol had to agree that the black and red effect created quite a visual impact of sophistication and class. Now, he just had to remember not to drop the jacket.
Nakuru was now busy bathing him in alcohol. Earlier, she had searched his things for a perfume, which according to her suited this occasion better, but he told her that all he had was an alcologne—an alcohol which doubled as his cologne. He found it an amazing convenience—something that smelled good and at the same time, protected him from the bacteria civilization.
"Okay, done." Nakuru stepped back and examined him carefully. "You look better."
"I'm overwhelmed," he replied smilingly. "So now I wait in the restaurant for her?"
She looked at him, horrified. "Master, no! Without flowers?" She proceeded to describe the proper bouquet for a lady—one that featured a lot of colors, large sizes of flowers, and kinds that weren't roses for a change.
Eriol sighed. "I have a feeling I'm going to borrow money from my friends this week."
Meanwhile, a white car was making its way to a restaurant. Inside it were Daidouji Tomoyo and Mihara Chiharu, who both had not yet changed their office outfits. Chiharu silently gazed at her lady boss, wondering what Sakura told her over the phone that made her boss decide to cancel all her plans this evening and arrange for her driver to go to a fairly-known restaurant.
It sure couldn't involve business; Kinomoto Sakura abhorred discussing those kinds of things with her already workaholic best friend. Then perhaps Sakura had already arrived in Japan? But she swore she saw Sakura's caller ID stating it was made overseas.
And the restaurant they were going to was not Daidouji Tomoyo's usual place—the bistro was decent and cozy, but it wasn't classy enough to reckon the society's A-listers. It was more of a place where first dates happen or families gather for a formal dinner.
"Mind if I ask why we are heading for Calamari?" she finally voiced out, maintaining the respectfulness in her tone.
Tomoyo turned to her. "I'm meeting someone there… for Sakura-chan." The raven-haired lady sighed and rested her head on the plush seat. She didn't need mention to her aide that Sakura whined and begged for her to give one hour of her time to a blind date.
She remembered telling her second cousin in her most patient schoolteacher voice that her time was far too valuable to spend on meetings that weren't as pressing as her other business-related ones, but Sakura had tugged on her most sensitive heartstring.
"It's the least you could do for your sick, struggling best friend here in Hongkong."
So setting aside the wry inner observation she made on how Sakura was manipulating her so overtly, she agreed. One hour. She didn't need to enjoy it, and she didn't need to feel responsible to make her date enjoy it. It was a little satisfaction on her part when things were put that way.
"Do we have a timetable for this meeting?" asked Chiharu dutifully. It was her role to watch the clock as Tomoyo smoothly interacted with her business associates. If ever her boss felt that the actual business was over and the men were just lingering for small talks and tentative attempts to ask her out, she would give a sign and Chiharu would interrupt to give her a graceful exit.
"Sixty minutes." Tomoyo took out a compact mirror from her handbag and inspected herself. Sighing, she reached for her makeup kit to retouch her fatigued face.
"I can't believe it!" Nakuru slammed the phone down in frustration. "Just about every car rental in town refused to service Master Eriol!"
Spinel rolled its eyes. "Look, no car rental in the world would accept I-O-Us."
"Well, they should!" She crossed her arms in front of her chests, scowling. "Master Eriol happens to be the most powerful mage in this world!"
"That is something they'll never understand in this lifetime, Nakuru. Not everyone believes in magic that don't have dollar signs written all over it, so live with it." The feline threw its master a wry glance. "If you only accepted my suggestion that you turn that raving lunatic over there," it gestured to its counterpart guardian, "into a twig and then pretend you haven't heard anything about blind dates today, then you won't have to go through with this."
Eriol chuckled. "It's been quite awhile since I last ate something that isn't canned tuna or fried eggs. If ever my date gets bored of me and leaves me, then I'll help myself with her share."
"Such optimism," retorted the cat before it gave a surrendering sigh and went back to reading the next chapter of its book.
"How will you reach the restaurant in time, Master?" asked Nakuru in despair.
"Well, since I don't have a pumpkin, then this Cinderella has no choice but to walk." Eriol looked out and inspected the surrounding. "It's a little rainy… spring rain, hmm?"
"I hope your date likes soggy men," remarked Spinel, not looking up from its book.
The maitre d' looked stunned but very pleased when he saw who his next customer was. After all, she was the type of patron that no restaurant would turn down at any cost. Her face, though numerously featured in television shows and publications, was one that no pair of eyes would ever tire of seeing. Her figure was modestly wrapped in a simple teal dress, and yet, it couldn't conceal the refined grace that only the most cultured breeding could create. But the real price tag was essentially unseen—her persona that only people who lived under the rocks could not identify with awestruck certainty.
"We're glad to have you, Miss Daidouji," he greeted cordially, unable to resist a small bow. This woman commanded a respect that bordered on reverence. He met a lot of known personalities in his line of work, but no one could ever come close to this person.
He received a warm smile from her. "Thank you. I'm meeting someone here," she began. "I'm afraid I wasn't given a face, let alone a name to identify him. But my cousin assured me that a reservation has been made."
"Ah. Please give me a moment to check." The headwaiter looked at the master list for tonight's reserved seats. "Yes, a table for two." He politely led the way. "This way, please."
As he walked, he was aware of the surprised gazes that followed them. He smiled inwardly, knowing this was going to be a very helpful publicity to this establishment.
He had the power to command the winds, the rain, and the elements, but tonight, Eriol Hiiragizawa chose to be a mere spectator to nature's symphonic performance. Clutching his raincoat and holding his umbrella tighter, he continued walking towards the rendezvous point for the night.
When he first promised himself that he would live like normal human beings, he learned firsthand that normalcy brought about a lot of inconveniences. Suddenly, he had to learn how to run a household efficiently, line up in Sunday grocery queues, ride in crowded subway trains, and figure out on his own to tie clotheslines that don't easily fall.
In the process, he realized that normal people had their own shares of battles too, although not necessarily in Armageddon proportions. Enemies came in various faces: bills, taxes, annoying superiors, traffic jams, and the like.
Humans utilized an assortment of ways to deal with these: some were successful, some weren't. But what amazed him was the normal human being's innate resiliency. Even when knocked down on their feet, they still get up, with much more determination far from the blinded rage of a wounded animal out for revenge.
This awareness came as an epiphany for someone like him who lived quite a sheltered life in his past lifetimes. For the first time, he learned how to be part of life's daily affairs, and for all those often-not-easy adjustments, he recognized how nice it felt for his existence to be acknowledged, even by a few small people like his rowdy university students or his fellow professors.
So despite of how history and literature painted humans in not-so-flattering colors, he had learned to love mankind for what it was: a crazy mixture of the bad, the beautiful, and the plain bewildering.
The lighted sign of Calamari's snapped him back to reality. Running a hand over his damp azure hair, he went inside, hoping Suppi's confidence-yanking remark would prove true.
Tomoyo saw him trudge inside, his hair still dripping, the frame of his glasses catching small raindrops that twinkled from afar. He was chatting animatedly with the maitre d', who tactfully kept to himself whatever his disapproval was for the man's soaked state.
I should have known. Of course, Sakura-chan had always been fond of Hiiragizawa Eriol, and it went beyond Clow Reed connections. Her best friend was charmed by the Londoner since elementary, and had always looked up to him as a wise older brother of some sort. She wouldn't be surprised if Eriol had asked Sakura to mediate for him to get this opportunity she selfishly kept from him.
Despite her discomfort at seeing the person she had avoided deliberately for many times already, she still couldn't help but watch him silently as he navigated his way to her place, oblivious of the stares that followed his back. This came with grudging admiration for his guts to walk inside a semi-fancy restaurant, drenched to the bone, and yet with no care for the world.
She inhaled deeply as he sat down. Quietly, she prepared herself for whatever he was going to say on those appointments that she wouldn't give him.
But instead he sat down, smiling apologetically as he rubbed his lenses with his hanky. "The nice man over there told me that my vision would be blurry all night if I don't wipe this. I nearly forgot what these air-conditioners could do to one's wet glasses."
She blinked, not expecting this kind of opener from him.
He placed his eyeglasses back smilingly. "I'm sorry if I had kept you waiting—" His eyes widened.
And once more, she was taken aback by the genuine surprise in his eyes.
"I think my eyeglasses were damaged by the rain," he said slowly. "I was supposed to meet someone… oh, never mind." He started to get up, muttering about wrong tables, but she stopped him.
"Who arranged your meeting for tonight?" she wanted to know.
He scratched his cheek. "Actually… it was Sakura-chan. She was compassionate enough to give me a birthday mystery date."
That verified it. "Then just call me a mystery revealed." She gestured to the seat he was about to vacate. "Please."
He sat down, face still confused.
"Sakura-chan asked me to meet a man celebrating his twenty-ninth birthday today. I had no idea it was you." Her tone was that of a person who couldn't believe he even had a place in the calendar.
"And Nakuru relayed to me Sakura-san's intention for me to go out tonight with someone. I had no idea it was you." He chuckled. "And here I was, intentionally late because I was hoping my date would leave so I could finish her meal."
She fought the surrendering urge of her businesslike demeanor. "So… let's fulfill Sakura-chan's wish and execute this…this… meeting," she finished lamely, for the lack of proper words.
He laughed, making her eyebrow arch. "I wasn't making a joke, Hiiragizawa-kun," she said sternly.
"You make this thing sound so mechanical," he replied, "like a computer program with a strict algorithm."
"Which is what exactly it should be," she responded curtly. "Hiiragizawa-kun, I'm sorry if I would be blunt with you but dates are not my cup of tea. I am too busy for those kinds of trivialities. It just so happens that this favor was asked by my closest friend and I couldn't directly say 'no'. Now my intention is to finish the allotted time I gave this activity and then leave."
When she finished, she looked at him to see his reaction. But to her dismay, he was just browsing the menu nonchalantly, as if she was just commenting something about the weather. "Their French terms for their dishes are grammatically wrong. Are you sure we're getting our money's worth here?" he whispered smilingly.
She flushed slightly. "Hiiragizawa-kun, I was saying something about—"
He nodded gently. "I heard you the first time. I'm sorry if you felt that Sakura-san had coerced you into doing something you don't like. She may have her reasons, but then, you may also have your own reasons for not liking this kind of… meetings." A gleeful smile formed on his face. "Very well, I shall respect your wish and make this date work exactly like a computer program."
Did he just make fun of me? Tomoyo didn't know what to think as she watched the peculiar man smooth the napkin on his lap and then reached for the menu.
A waiter then came, greeting them courteously and asking what they would be having.
Eriol stared long and hard at the menu, and then looked up smilingly. "A glass of water, please."
The waiter did a double take. "Won't you consider trying our house specialties, Sir? We are the best seafood restaurant in town, and I'm sure you won't regret tasting any of our dishes."
"Water is the primary seafood," he said seriously, but she could see a twinkle of mischief in his cerulean eyes. "I most certainly hope you do your water right."
The uniformed man smiled uncertainly. "B-But of course, Sir." He hurriedly turned to her. "And what will you be having, Ma'am?"
She placed her order as the waiter dutifully wrote it down. A couple of minutes later, they were alone in the table again.
"As we wait for our meal, we must engage in a conversation," Eriol said, mimicking an android drone. "Dating experts agree that five minutes of conversation complies with the etiquette standards of the society."
"Hiiragizawa-kun, stop acting like a…" The PR specialist in her stopped herself from blurting out loud what she was intending to say. Searching for better terms, she finished, "…silly person."
"I'm. Not. Silly. Robots. Are. Not. Programmed. Silly. With. Silicons. Maybe. But. Not Silly."
She was finding it harder and harder a battle to fight the smile threatening to form on her face. "Alright. Stop that act and we'll talk."
"Processing command. Applying changes…"
"Changes have been applied. But system needs to restart for changes to take effect. Would you like to restart now?" he asked monotonously.
"Yes," she said, going along with his role-playing.
And thankfully, his tone returned to its normal human form. No, wait, her thanks were too premature—the playful twinkle in his eyes was more apparent than ever.
"Daidouji-san, glad to be back! For awhile, I thought a computer ghost would forever possess my body!"
She cupped her chin. "I was expecting a more meaningful conversation than this."
"Meaningful is a relative word." Eriol shrugged casually. "Besides, don't fight that smile, Daidouji-san. I have tried and tested this thing on my students—and I of all people should know that if you can make astrophysics students laugh, then you can make anyone-- even a grumpy grandfather turtle-- laugh."
Eriol felt a warm hand touch his heart when he saw it – like daybreak after a long winter—the little smile that blossomed on her face.
Almost instantaneously, Tomoyo's posture relaxed slightly. He was inwardly relieved when he saw that she wasn't angered by his comical demeanor born of living with someone like Akizuki Nakuru under a single roof.
Usually, he didn't try this hard to make a woman laugh. His female colleagues and students were always ready to laugh at his soft tirades on supercilious textbooks, Nakuru was in seventh heaven if he so much as cooperated with her in playing a prank on Suppi, and Kaho told him somewhat flippantly that his awkward attempts at seducing her in vain in the early years of their relationship was one for the joke clubs to tell to the next generation.
But seeing Daidouji Tomoyo's elusive smile now richly rewarded his corny efforts. It was more than how her smile amplified the beauty of the woman— even when stripped off of his Clow Reed foresight, he knew it had been a very long time since she last knew smiles that weren't necessarily practiced.
The waiter came, carrying her meal and his glass of water. He politely delivered his job and then evaporated quickly.
"Are you okay with just that?" she asked after a while, looking at his sparkling beverage.
"I shouldn't fill myself," he explained smilingly. "Last night, I saw an ice cream gallon in the freezer. Nakuru wouldn't forgive me if I don't finish that with her tonight."
"Why did you return to Tomoeda?" she asked all of a sudden.
"From ice cream to personal probing." But he gamely answered her anyway. "It's the first place I thought of after I decided a change of pace in life."
"If you wanted a change of pace, you should start building a family," she said. "I heard it's quite challenging."
"I wish it's as simple as building DNA blocks together," he replied lightly. "But it's much, much more complicated than that. And I never thought of families as hobbies."
"I didn't mean that," she said defensively. "I just thought everyone, including you, follow a pattern of life. Birth, puberty, fooling around, marriage, a little more fooling around, offspring, and then the inevitable death."
"That's a rather dry look at life, Daidouji-san," he commented gently.
"Why bother painting life romantically?" she replied. "It's something I learned while growing up, a lot like discovering Santa Claus is a Christmas poster child encouraged by commercialism."
"That makes me wonder what kind of journey you undertook to find such discovery."
A sharp exhale from her. "That was a colored statement, Hiiragizawa-kun."
He suddenly turned apologetic. "I saw a lot of things in all those recollections I've gathered in all my previous lifetimes. One of my fondest memories is the eleven-year-old Daidouji-san who taught me that life is anything but dust breathed with ego. I guess I was just taken by surprise by your newfound beliefs in life."
She folded her napkin. "This dinner is over." She stood up to go when he spoke, startling her.
"I never got around to say this, but I wish to thank you."
She faced him, puzzled. "For what?"
"For opening my eyes to some things I had never really seen before," he said softly. "I had long wanted to tell you this in person, but chances to talk to you are slim. You are the busiest woman in town."
"Ridiculous," she said. "You are Clow Reed's persona. There's nothing that you don't know, let alone something a mere mortal like me could teach you. If you intend to flatter me, then I must tell you I'm in no mood for it."
"Exactly," he agreed. "In his whole lifetime, Clow Reed never knew humanity. And my first concept was born because of you."
Her forehead creased. "First… concept?"
He got up. "I'm sorry for ruining a night that initially promised to be wonderful. But I was really glad to see you again… I really am. I hope you let me at least walk you to your car."
"I can find my way there on my own, thank you very much," she said stiffly.
He smiled affably in reply, just as Chiharu rushed in, vigilant of the sixty-minute mark.
Tomoyo watched Eriol silently from the tinted windows of her car as he struggled to open his umbrella. It was raining outside—much more heavily than awhile ago, to be sure. But the cheery man didn't seem to take offense of nature's tantrums. He had good-naturedly clutched his jacket tighter as moist gusts of wind assaulted him.
"Should we offer Mr. Hiiragizawa a ride?" asked Chiharu, who was watching her boss watch the professor.
She nodded slowly.
Eriol heard the roar of engine beside him as he treaded the slippery sidewalk leading the way out of the seafood restaurant. He turned to it and saw the familiar color of the vehicle.
A second later, the driver's window rolled down, revealing Daidouji Tomoyo's driver.
"Miss Daidouji will drop you to your house." It wasn't a question or a command. It was a fact. His thought was strengthened when the side door of the vehicle opened invitingly.
Shrugging, he climbed inside the car.

New Delhi: Vice President M. Hamid Ansari on Sunday said that the message of the Bible is essentially one of love and compassion which runs like a common thread through all religious traditions. He was addressing after releasing the book ' South Asia Bible Commentary', organised at the Cathedral Church of the Redemption, here.
The Vice President said that the publication of a collection of commentaries on one of the holiest texts in the world is a reason to celebrate and he expressed his happiness to know that over 90 learned scholars from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal have contributed to the book.
"In addition to learned commentaries on the entirety of the Bible, the volume also has essays and articles on some of the challenges and burning issues facing societies in South Asia," he added.
Vice President Ansari commended the editors and the publishers for the commentary of the Bible – encompassing both the Old and New Testaments. He hoped that the commentary will make the text more accessible to a large number of people, particularly in South Asia and enable them to imbibe the message of love and compassion that Bible has for all human kind.

Additional policies and FAQs
• To protect the luster of gemstones and pearls, apply hairspray, lotions, perfume BEFORE putting on jewelry.
• Remove jewelry BEFORE showering or swimming to keep stringing material from stretching.
• To ensure precious metals stay shiny, be sure to put jewelry in a closed jewelry box or ziplock baggie when not in use. Better yet, slip an anti-tarnish strip into your jewelry box or ziplock to help absorb the oxidizing agents. I pick mine up at Bed, Bath & Beyond in the silverware care area.
• Should your sterling oxidize and you want to bring back some of it's original gleam, use a soft toothbrush and DAWN liquid dishwashing soap to lightly scrub the silver. Rinse and dry well with a lint-free cloth.
• Use a clean, lint-free cloth to clean pearls, gemstones, and turquoise. DO NOT USE A CHEMICAL BASED POLISHING CLOTH ON STONES. They are too abrasive and will actually dull pearls.
* Do not put pearls or strung jewelry in an ultra-sonic cleaner.
I take great pride in making jewelry that will last a lifetime. However, sometimes, a weakened joint or stress point can occur no matter how much care is taken. Should your jewelry need repair, please contact me as soon as possible. Most repairs within the first year from date of purchase are free. After that, a part replacement charge may be incurred on a case-by-case basis. You pay to ship to me, and I'll pay to ship it back to you. Sound fair?

3 things that determine if you can make Money in Poker
The 2016 World Series of Poker set to star in Las Vegas
Can Horse Racing Tracks Compete in Online Poker?
Horse race tracks in California have been one of the main opponents to legalized online poker in the state of California. Why? Because, if the the tribal casinos get their way, race tracks will be cut out of the market or vastly marginalized. However, with the latest bill introduced in the California legislature, that may all be changing.
California Introduces New Online Poker Law
While most of the news regarding sports betting in the United States comes out of New Jersey, online poker is quietly becoming a reality around the nation. California is the latest state to push hard for legalization, with lawmakers introducing four bills in 2015 alone, and efforts to legalize online poker dating back to 2008.
Tribes and Racing Industry Holding Back Online Poker in California?
Online poker legislation in California has been on the table for years, but disagreements between a number of players have – so far – kept online gaming from becoming a reality in the Golden State. However, news that rival American Indian casinos are beginning to cooperate with each other may be a good sign for online gamblers in California.

This article addresses the concern that the California initiative agenda has been "captured" by the very business community it was designed to constrain. It discusses the various means by which the initiative agenda might be constrained, examines recent trends in the use of the initiative process by non-business groups, and evaluates claims that the cost of qualifying initiatives has become prohibitively expensive. Evidence suggests that the agenda has become more accessible in recent years, not less, and that the cost of qualifying remains relatively low for non-business groups seeking to place issues on the initiative agenda.

Calling Mitt Romney a "mixed bag" when it comes to fiscal issues, Club For Growth President Chris Chocola offered a lukewarm appraisal of the Republican presidential nominee, saying he has the ability to exceed expectations if elected president, but that his future is opaque.
"We'll see if he'll be a pro-growth president. I think he has potential to exceed expectations," Chocola, the head of the anti-tax group, said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington.
What exactly are Chocola's expectations for Romney?
"They are uncertain. That's the thing. We don't really know. That's the knock against Romney, is you don't really know how he'll serve," the former Indiana congressman added.
The club did not involve itself in the presidential primary, opting instead to focus on the congressional landscape, where it meddled in some high-profile Republican primaries including Indiana, where longtime Sen. Richard Lugar (R) was dislodged by Richard Mourdock, the club's preferred candidate.

Kyle: I going to kill you!
After the cloud of flames vanishes, I see Dracula getting up from a small smoking slight flaming hole. He looked pissed really pissed.
" I don't care what or who you claim to be anymore but no one, no one doese that to me!"
" Then shuddup, Draccy!" My voice , and mind hits insanity.
The world seems to warp at my hands I swing forwards the warping leaves my hands and its looks like I was ripping reality as if it was paper. It stops at Dracula who stops it with both hands. Magic flows into the rip repairing it.
" Don't think your the only one who can do such a thing."
" I don't but I can do something you can't!" Insanity still clawing at my mind.
I left my hand belowt it seems to rise an impposibly jagged mountian it begins to erupt , lava and flames. Dracula finds himself at every turn nearly being burned to nothing ness or being impaled. He resorts to pushing his aura around him downwards to avoid this new mountian. I simply walk off the ground and swat him back down to earth. He barely stops himself and compress the ground below him.
I speedily shoot out of the sky and even before I reach him the air that I pushed forwards forced him backwards. I land on the ground and project an aura that lifts rocks the sized of houses out of the way. Dracula just barely holds his ground. People on the battlefield find it har no to watch the fight. Dracula gets on his knees and springs forwards towards me his form changing from that of a vampire to the real deal. His body stretches out , and becomes massive like a true god, his aura also grows. His voice deepens.
" Its time to show you insignifagant bug what a god is like!" His voice may be normal at this size yet for us it is booming and all to loud.I just laugh manically leaning back power growing at my fingertips.
" The bigger they are the harder they fall!" I say then leave the ground in split miliseconds. No one could see me at this pace and dracula size he was to big to react fast enough. I bolt appear beside him kicking his face in. He goes off balance then I begin to hit him repeatedly with bolts of red energy to his face blinding him. Once he blinded for a long enough time , and falls over the sky darkens at my command around the battle field it wal illumanated only by strong auras. Mostly mine , and dracula.
" Do you know why i'm going to win Dracula?" I ask and throw my hands downs a pure blue magic explosion emmanates on dracula body blowing his god form to pieces, but i don't finish there the sky fills with metiorites that are all slamming down onto his rapidly dettiorating god form. If he wasn't dead yet but he'll never have that strength ever.I see his smaller form in the dust.
" I'm not finished!" I say bring my hands together half the span of energy I found when my being changed. I compressed it down , then blasted it into him. He took the full force of it , he knew to well he couldn't block it or absorb but atleast had the dignity of a leader to make sure none of his forces felt the force of the blast. As it finished he flew through the battle field and crashed miles off. I stood infront of him within an instance and picked his beaten body off the ground and appeared back at the battlefield.
" I win because of." The insanity stops the energy momentarily turns, for just one moment I have no energy , and dracula takes the oppertunity to use his last resort in a fight which is bag which is an alternate univers he cups it around my arm. It pulls my arm to shoulder length before my power returns but its too late.
" Cheat!" I hiss then blast his chest full of spikes ,but miss my target which is his heart.
I take one last look around the surroundings Scarlett was at Dracula's side defending off his allies, and enemies. Obviously his followers we not following his lead anymore. Just before my head is sucked into the bag , Scarlett transports us all to a rather depressing looking chamber. Then I find myself in a realm surrounded by purple , and my energy had no effect on anything.

|This is a discussion on $2 NL Live. How do I play vs. all these limpers within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; Hello, I am used to playing online. Just started playing live $2 NL and I have never seen so much limping going on in my life.
$2 NL Live. How do I play vs. all these limpers
I am used to playing online. Just started playing live $2 NL and I have never seen so much limping going on in my life. At least 3 limpers every hand minimum.
Some players limped every hand while I was at the table for 2 hrs. Next, every raise of 3x the blind gets called in at least 2 places. Just ridiculous loose passive players.
I know the best way to play these players is to just wait for solid starting hands, isolate the fish, and just relentlessly bet for value if I connect solidly. This works great online. As you can multi-table and see so many more hands per hour. However, playing live, it just takes too long to get the starting hands you need to play this tight style. Also, I just don't want to play that way. I am trying to develop more of a LAG style.
Should I just start punishing these limpers w/ 10x bb raises until they get the picture, or what. Please help!
What do you do to play these fish. Isolating is hard b/c some other fish will call your raise before it even gets around to the fish. I feel like I have to make a 5x raise just to get rid of all the junk. Please Help!
When I use to play live at the HORSESHOE I ran into the same thing. I was a beginner at the time and I just sat and waited on big hands. When playing live most people dont think of there chips as money but as plastic pieces they use to bet with. As long as they have them they will see flops. This is why live games are considered so much softer/easier than online. In trying to pick up a Lag style of play, be prepared to deal with the huge variance you will experience as a lot of your hands will be played 3-5 way. If you are going to adopt this style of play I would recommend staying tight early and playing your opponent and your position as best as possible. Depending on table dynamic, raising 3BB or 6BB wont make a difference, if they would call $6 , they would call $12.
When playing live don't worry about the volume of hands played, worry about getting your money in right on your big hands. It may take awhile but the patience is well worth the reward playing live.
re: Poker & $2 NL Live. How do I play vs. all these limpers
I had the same problem when i would drive to my local casino. I would raise about 5bb and add another bb for every limper. It sure seems like alot of money preflop and it is but after a few times i stoped running my aces into 4 or 5 people. Another tip dont bluff to much in a soft casino game cause you will get called and forced to showdown alot.
You answered your own question in the OP. As for wanting to play a LAG style in a live game, just don't. A LAG style is perfect for playing against people who will fold when faced with aggression.
Live players don't fold.
The live vs online difference is staggering to me. I think its because live you have chips but online you always have a dollar sign and an amount of money next to you at the table. It's very hard to treat the two the same way and for most people as well. I think I play slightly better live for whatever reason.
re: Poker & $2 NL Live. How do I play vs. all these limpers
I wasn't exactly meaning that the size of your bets and pots are going to be, but more that you shouldn't be associating chips and $$$ differently just because you can't see the pot size spelled out for you in a live game. I agree 100% that you need to be opening a lot higher but I constantly see people min raising/betting and it cracks me up.
I play 1/2 NL (my live BR is being built) at my local casino and the skill levels and from what I have seen is you have to play your villan more than what you may be used to online. With Online many people are very set in how they play and can be predictale. With live play styles and personalities are different every time I sit down at a table (also 1/2NL is entry level so automaticly I am going to get larger range). No table you sit at acts the same way.
As a Live player you need to adjust your game to your table and villians a little more than online. Think more strategicly and less on math (math still important but not everything). Your style and tactic should be determiend by your opponents, your style of play, and how you think you can win the most. Overall I think you need to be a better rounded player to be successfull live.
Live play IMO is more difficult and overall different than online. Live you have to have patience (each hand takes longer), and are constantly working on observing villans and analyizing hands. There are less hands per hr so you need to make the most of your hands and reads. Online you see so many hands that you have a lot of oppertunity to sit back and wait and play by the #s.
Also with live play the rake is a lot higher! so you need to build up pots to be profitable.
Anyway dont expect to play the same game Live as you play online... It wont be met with much success IMO. Play the player instead and adjust your game.
The only parts of your post that made any sense were the parts in bold. One thing that someone transitioning from online(or even someone just starting out but they watched poker on TV) doesn't realize is how many less hands you're going to be playing, so online and beginning players are very prone to become bored with only playing 1/3 of the hands they normally would be an hour(if they were single tabling online that is, MUCH less if they are multitabling). Also, you're correct, rake live is higher, but you're also able to get more for that rake(free drinks and such...)
Difficult was the wrong word... Live is different than online. I aggree that there are more loose players live but I think it takes additional/different skills to be sucessfull live vs online.
Where I was getting at is there is a larger variety of types of players at the same table. Online I think opponents are a little more uniform in skill levels, in Live you have more fish and pros playing together. Because of this you need to bet and play accordingly to your opponents and not as dependent on your hand. Also, there is more ways to observe your villians and give info on your hand.
In addition it can be more difficult to grind with only the best hands given the higher rake and low hands per hour IMO.
So I agree more fish but I dont think that because you were successfull online you will be good live and vise versa. They are different games in a way and require a different set of skills while relying on the same core principles.
Sucks about the Aces.... you have to love being called there pre-flop though. Just log that hand away in your memory against that opponent and play accordingly later.

One guy in Singapore has become an instant hero after climbing up to the second floor of a Housing Board block at Jurong East Street 32 to rescue a toddler stuck in-between the railings.
The kid had managed to get her head stuck in the railings and was crying for help, with a couple of other guys already trying and failing to rescue her when the hero, who was working nearby, stepped in to help.
The foreigner has become a bit of a sensation since his heroics were captured on camera, and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) even tracked down Subramanian Shanmuganathan to give him a SCDF Public Spiritedness Award and also handed one to his colleague Ponnan Muthukumar who helped him.

The four-time national champion secured the top-two finish she needed to guarantee her Team GB spot but then sat and watched domestic rival Holly Bleasdale set a new 4.71m British record with a brilliant display of pressure jumping.
In contrast, the 28-year old - who made her Olympic debut in Beijing but failed to qualify for the final - could only clear a best of 4.26m, over 30cm down on her personal best from last year.
"I had mixed emotions initially because I didn't jump very high but it was enough to come second and I suppose that is the whole point of the trials," she said.
"It's a massive relief because you're expected to do well and I was expected to make the team and it just adds more pressure.
"It was strange competition and tough one but now hopefully I can just focus on jumping a lot higher because technically I'm jumping well.
"In training I've jumped a couple of 4.50s so I feel I'm worth so much more but I haven't done it in competitions. It's about doing it when it matters now."
Dennison's performance at the Alexander Stadium means she will not travel to this week's European Championships in Helsinki, the event in which she finished sixth in Barcelona two years ago.
"That was a fall back option for me if things didn't go right at the trials, thankfully I don't have to worry about that now," she said.
"It's a major championship but the focus is obviously the Olympics and I can just work on things in training now and try to stay fit and healthy.
"I'll probably have two more meets before London and then it's all about the Games.
"The last week has been a bit scary with the trials looming but now I can relax a bit and enjoy the Olympic build-up for a few weeks."

DetailsThe Tiemco Ring Hackle Pliers are ideal for when you want extra control when fly tying and wrapping hackle collars on your flies.
The Tiemco Ring Hackle Pliers include a small pair of pliers along with silicon band. The silicon band is very elasticated so will help stop your hackle tips or quills from breaking. The silicon rubber tip acts as a cushion and helps stop the hackle from slipping out.
The position of the rubber tip to the band also ensures the hackle isn't twisted when being held which will help give more accuracy and positioning when you are wrapping.
The Tiemco Ring Hackle Pliers are an essential tool to have for when you are fly tying. These pliers are approximately 2.5 inches in length (including the silicon band) and the pliers are black in colour.

In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating space at berth for vessels with the objective of minimizing total weighted flow time. Two mathematical formulations are considered where one is used to develop a tree search procedure while the other is used to develop a lower bound that can speed up the tree search procedure. Furthermore, a composite heuristic combining the tree search procedure and pair-wise exchange heuristic is proposed for large size problems. Finally, computational experiments are reported to evaluate the efficiency of the methods.

Hello, Moles, often called "beauty marks" or "birth marks," are pigmented skin growths that may be completely flat or project above the skin surface. Typically, they may range in color through the entire spectrum of browns, from fawn-colored to extremely dark brown. Ocassionally, they may even be blue or nearly black. Removing them for cosmetic purposes, particularly from the face and neck, is a routine, simple, in-office procedure that takes few minutes to perform. There are few techniques to remove it like scalpel sculpting, may be excision (procedure depends on plastic surgeon) but should keep in mind about the chances of recurrence. So please consult a plastic surgeon.

While you were finalizing your Thanksgiving menu—and slipping in some early Christmas shopping—one Big Pharma giant was busy plotting to give itself the biggest Christmas gift of all.
They were using the built in distraction of the holidays to pull off one of the most despicable swindles on the American public in more than a century.
When you were stuffing your stockings and thinking of your family, Big Pharma was stuffing their pockets and thinking of how they got one over on us.
On November 23rd drug giants Pzifer and Allergan completed a $152-billion-dollar deal that will allow them to move the headquarters of Pzifer to Allergan's current location in Dublin, Ireland.
So what's the swindle?
Well that little move just saved Pfizer a huge pile of cash, but it will end up costing the US billions in lost tax revenue.
For as much as we are used as Guinea pigs for their trust fund, you would think we could see a little return on our unintended participation.
Mega corporations save cash while we pay the price
This increasingly popular strategy—officially known as inversion—takes advantage of a legal loophole that basically allows mega corporations to simply skip out on their tax bills.
Companies pull off the swindle by buying up a smaller offshore company and transferring their "official" headquarters to that new location.
Then all that's left for them to do is pocket the cash savings.
This isn't the first time we've seen this sort of un-American bait and switch. And it surely won't be the last either.
These greedy corporations build their fortunes on the backs of Americans like you and me.
But then when it's time to return the favor by paying into the American economy, they pull up stakes and leave us holding the bill.
Even worse, they want us to believe these moves are really for our own good.
You see they claim they plan to "reinvest" all that saved cash into things to benefit us… you know out of the goodness of their own hearts.
No, really, they want us to buy that.
In fact Pfizer's Scottish born CEO, Ian Read, even had the nerve to say the money they're saving will allow the company "to cure major illnesses for humanity."
Yeah, and if you buy that I've got a bridge in New York I'd like to sell you too.
Let's call a shovel a bloody shovel. Big Pharma's not making these moves to benefit us. They're making them to benefit their bottom-line while we continue to foot the bill.
Sure people will profit from these moves all right, but it's not you or anyone you know, it's the shareholders of these companies.
All this means for you is that we will have less government controlled money funding the FDA and more privately funded Big Pharma money influencing health officials.
As if there isn't enough special interest in healthcare these days.
Not only are they pulling out of the American tax system but they're rearming themselves for a tighter grip on our personal health.
Fight back against Big Pharma's latest cash grab
But we don't have to take it lying down.
There are a couple of ways we can combat this new wave of corporations grabbing our cash and then heading for the hills.
- Call your local representative from congress and tell them that you want to change this "tax loophole" that allows companies to head offshore leaving us holding the bag. You can find where to contact your congressional representative here.
- Stop purchasing their products.
Listen, we get it. Sometimes you simply can't avoid taking a drug. But many of us are guilty of popping a pill when we don't need it.
If you have a cold or the flu, don't bother with an antibiotic, it won't do a thing to help and it can hurt you in the long run. And be sure to always ask your doctor about drug alternatives such as cranberry juice and d-mannose for urinary tract infections.
Seek out ways to get and stay healthy without drugs and their many side effects. Try supplements instead.

It has be-ronic a trite subjuct, and one which when harped on, only nwakons a smile, or ut most « pas:«ing remark niid is lorgottcn. Who rcilects u|Hjn the nights of l;»hor, and the hoursof anguish which he passes? Who thinks of his mortilied prido and the rude (.Innns that swuep over and almost whelm his honest ambition? Who believes that ho experiences the snmc desire to maintain a reputation for punctuality and honor in his dealings that must be observed in other pursuits. Who imagines that he expcricMiccA tho same dc-iirc to mtiintaiu a reputa-li<jn for punctuality and honor in his dealings that " must bo observed in other |)ursuits. Who imagines that ho struggles with his best energies to sustain his credit and uses as much cnfurl to compass that end, OS marks the mercantile community, or any other interest? In sooth but few. Ilia earnings nre trifling compared to tho vast amounts which swell the fortunes of those who venture upon the .«ioa of trade. The reward of his inccssant toil is but small and is expected to 1» drawn from myriad ■*so(lrces, each one of which that fails, only tends to diminish his stock and expose more plainly how needless has been all his labor. He is little blessed ill the punctuality of his patrons. For the few who do honor to his drafts when presented, by how many are they protested! Ho is cither worthy or he IS not. lie is led on niontii after month, and year after year in the vain hope that the bread he has cast upon the waters will return. It is too aften like the Ui>k who.se while canvass is seen for the last time, and whose proud prow seeks tho friendly bench no nioro. Tew can tell the heart-aches and the anguish timtare his constant companions, and the cheerless gloom that surrounds him. lie staods nione in tho cammunity, unless like the creeping ivy ho insinuates hiinseh'around the wealthy aspirant who can ukc him and will pay for the vile vassalage to which he subjects him. There is no calling more honorable, and opening more avenues to a laudible ambition, than the management of an inde|)endenl press, it is a gymnasium fur tho tiiinJ, when it is constantly exercised, dc when its laien energies are devblu|icd. It demands us much iniellect—as much untiring industry—as much research and as much judgement aa tho bar, the pulpit or the forum. It requires as much cloae invesiigatiim and acute discrimination as the moat ' abstruse science and most perplexing art. Then why is it so little appreciated, and if appreciated, why ao illiberally and niggardly reward? It professes to give a nuid pro quo and does give, but alas! for uhafi It seems as if men did not rcflect that tite printer has wants, and that they must bo supplied—that ho , devotes his whole time, his labor and his means for iheir instruction, fur their benefit, and for their en tertainment—that the resources of his mind are fathomed and his memory and impression« and con victiuns and imagination are all made subject to the despotism of their demands. If he loiter and play the laggard, how is he censured—how is he upbraid ed for his neglect! Ifhit paper fail but for one <lay, in reaching its destination, how is he condemned for want of punctuality I if he find nothing that is new, that serves not to amuse, that does not •tar-tie with its originality, how ia he abused for the barreoocM of his shtMl! TllViitOut all abstraotion—it is truth. It has bflMttMexperieiiMor tima and trial. His inde-pendeoM is Mdown for presumption, and his mo-menu of^es^KtndeBcy as arrant aflection. He is kept curlml down by a power which he in vain endeavors to throw otf. Tliehnn is upon him, and the world ¡4 willing to so* him Buffer, so long •• he ^n contribute to their enjoyment, and when bis light goes out, ihuro is scarcely • sigh of sympathy — he goes down like a stone, aotl tM waters are soon us placid as though iheir tranquility had nev-«r IwMi disturbed. weekly wages to sustain tbem and tbeir ramilte*. He is compelled to have paper or his publication must stop, and the result is bankruptcy and ruin-He must pay his rent, else will his landlord rePuse the tenement, in which his operations are carried on. Ho must have cash, for be is not indulged with long credits. His necessities are known and practised upon. He is ground down by an iron rule, which if he were to adopt, his patronage would soon waste away. Men tbink, because/^«f/vtn/frV dues are in trifling sums, that it is of trivial importance whether or not they are paid—that it will make little difference ifone fail to meet a demand when presented. Yet if it be the general impression, and each one appropriates to himself the right of withholding the m(Micum, how is tAe 7>rin/fr to exist. He is not " Jfilicnsbeoiie in the «Mununity who more than . aoolbar<iaMrves to be re-paidl^ kin labor, it is the printer, Hím h not an easy and tíneeure task, as is I oo oftiM ^gined. As muoli promptness is ex pect« ed from bun, ma if he were niet with punctuality by all hiul-iM^and íaduigtmt patrons. Those in his rmploynrMU)t,arA «vorking-nien who look to their chameleon to live on air. He has the same preoep-tions, the same appetites, the same necessities as other men. When one engages in the printing busines-s, it geneially requires his whole capitui to purchase the materials and fixtures necessary to fit up his establishment, and to make a commencement. He looks for his ¡reward in the constant increase of his patronage, and the punctuality of his patrons. He expects to render an equivalent for his'^demands, & he expects to be paid. He trusts to his daily income to meet his current demands. He ventures his credit, with the anticipated assurrance that he will not be forgotten by his subscribers, for whom he daily caters. His terms are made payable in advance, thot he may receive his reward during the progress of his labo r s, be enabled to make a proper estimate of his chances of profit or of loss. He can iheteby ascertain how far his expen.ses must be curtailed, and what foreign aid is necessary to meet them. Unless payment be made to him in advance, he is laboring upon an uncertainty, •And—when bethinks, good easy man full surely, ilis/oriune is a ripening," there may come "a killing frost" to blast and wither every hope. He may have ventured "far beyond his depth," and ere ho is aware, be whelmed in irretrievable ruin. The subscriptions of a printer are his stock in trade. They are the proceeds of his outlay of capital. They form an annuity which he has purchased, and when they fail to produce-when he is bankrupt there he awakens to find his capital gone, and bankruptcy in every thing. To be^rendered available then, the sub^riptions should be promptly paid. If it be asked, why the necessity of advance payments? tho answer is this; ^These subscriptions are scattered over a vast territory. Small amounts are to be gathered from most ^remote ^sources. In the aggregate they would swell to a considerable sum. Embarking in business, the hope of collecting these scattered trifles into an important aggregate, is indulged. Expenses commensurate with their number are incurred, and must be met. Time wears on. This mon from whom punctuality was expected, after taking the paper for some months becomcs dissatisfied and orders it to bo discontinu ed. The sum due is too small to be remitted or to pay tho expense of collection—it is a dead loss to the printer, who has already incurre<i the expense but meets no equivalent. Or tho subscriber may fail—or die—or movel oway to parts unknown— alas, the printer is seldom remembered. Poor fel low, he heark his old patron say, "Pshaw! it is but a trifle, he will never miss it,—and some day or other, if it is convenient, I will pay,him." Such tho course of reasoning, if the printer's dues ever cross his memory. For every printer who has de frauded his patron, therv have been a thousand printers defrauded by thern. Another reason for advance payments, is, that at the time of subscribing, provided it be done in good faith, there is an intention to pay. If it be inconvenient at the time the first opportunity should be sei7«d "to make con veyance sure," for as the year tolls by or is number ed with the past, the feeling oi the necessity or ob ligation of making payment fades away, till too frequently it is altof^ther obliterated There is nothing which the same amount can purchase so valuable as a newspaper. It is a little world within itself. It is fraught with intelligence and instruction—furnishes a fund of entertainment —affords a birdVeye view of tho o|>eralion of the evtry-day world. It ¡Hsoples solitude with a thousand companions. It brings novelty where was but satiety. To be without it were to riturn to baibarism—todragona lonely life, "unknowing, de unknown." To elevate the press—to render it independent— to give it the tone and character which should distinguish it—to raise it above the grovelling spirit which Ikjws to thejdictationgof wealth or power—to enable it to lead the understandings of men, and not follow like a blind and supple vassal, ready tocringe at a frown, or show fight at its master^s b^-k, "pay tho printer." This homily, extended far beyond our orignal design, has not been read for an individual purpoae it aims to benefit the craft and explain some ot the difltculties under which they labor, and point out the remedy. Yet if any of our readers can appro-priata aught of it to themselves, they are heartily welcome, and we trust at no long date, to find it appreciated. THE STORY OF JOHN WOOD. Dy the following article (Vom the Maysvilie Ba gle, it appears that the pathatie tale of the suflTer-ings and privations of this individual, wliioh we publishetJ week before last turns ouf to ba a hoax, and he nroved to be an impostor. Prom the following will be learned his real history: Vevmjf Tit»*». Impositions are frequently practiaed upo« tka comiuunity, by Ules of shipwreck M^ eaplivily, desolations by earthquakes, votcMie artiptioM, éM). 4(0. that a strong dutv seeota to devolve wpoa tiM preos, to place the public on their guard by Mjpft> sing the mfotor». Ou Saturday fasi, wa traaafef-red into ibis paper an article which appeared Id tha Masaillon (Ohio) (lazette, detailing tiM eirounMlao-ees attending the impressmeot aodlong captivity of Mr. John Wood, who is stated to have been nt the oominencementof the war of 1812, «a yonng and iodustrious farmer of Bracken county, 'Kentudty.' On Thursday, after that tale of captivity, so well calculated to enlist the public sympathy, was put in the hands of the compositor, no less a personage than John Wood, the veritable captive himself, appeared in oar city, and attracted crowds to see him, and to hear from his own lip.s, a detail of his wrongs and sufferings in British prison ships and on board British men of war.—Some heard hie narrative without suspicion of imposture—otbera» more in credulous, believed that his language was too chase, and his deportment too refined, for a Brilith sailor and occasionally insinuated a doui^ as to the truth of his statements. Oo Friday, the impressioD became general tha be was an impoMtor, and to cme of the citizens, who had questioned him pretty closely, he finally acknowledged tho fact, and immediately expressed a wish to see the resident minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. Upon arriving at the residence of that gentleman, he unexpectedly met, and was soon recognized by a venerable clergyman of (he same denomination late of Ohio. As soon as Wood beheld this venerable minister of the cross he burst into tears, and declared that he had come to acknowledge that he was an impostor. 7'he history of Wood, as far as known, together with his disclosures, are in substance, as follows: He is a native of Vermont, between 60 and 55 years of age, about the ordinary size, of rather nleasant countenance, and agreeable manners. A-K)ut 10 or 12 years since, he came to Moscow, Vermont county, Ohio, in feeble health, and repeated, substantially, the same tale which he has recently told at Massillon and other places; with this difference in the version, that he had leH a mother and two sisters in Vermont, instead of a wife and two children in Kentucky, and that his capture took place at a difToient time and under other circumstances, from that now related. His tale was readily credited, and he obtained employment as wood chopper for the glass works then in operation at Moscow. He rcinained in that situation for 2 years, and by his industry and morality, gained the respect and confidence of the neighborhood. Ho subsequently became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Curch—and shortly after, was licensed to preach the Gospel. He was imnoediately assigned by the presiding elder, to the St. Mary's mission; and after discharging his duties for tome time, to all human ap|>earances, with the utmost fidelity, he was so unfortunate, when absent from hom';, as to become intoxicated, and feeling himself disgraced, he abandoned his station, and no trace was afterwards disco vcied of him. His subsequent history is related by himself. He states that, after leaving his charge, he first wandered to New Orleans— thence lie found bis way to Alabanui, where he united with the Baptist Church, and recommenced preaehiiig the (Tospel. Shortly aAer forming this eonnec:ioii, theChrialian Advocate reached Alabam-a, containing a detail of his proper conduct, with a description of his person. Fearing detection and ex|>osure, ho immediately abandoned Alabama, and went to the Creek nation of Indians. Dissatisfied with his condition among the Indians, he returned to tho States, and souglit an asylum in one of the Alms houses in Maryland, where he remained one year. AAerwards he went to I'enn«ylvauia, and remained five years in an Alms house. Nothing further is known of him until he appeared at Massillon, as the returning 'captive.' Many persons who visit^ him believe that he is suffering under some menial alienation. This o-pinioa appears to be the most charitable one—as he has manifested no disposition to make very heavy draAs upon the sympathies excited by his **laleof woes.*' Prom whatever cause however—-wbether it be avarice or nnental aberation—we feel it our duty to guard the community against his impost tion. He left on Friday aAerooon, evidently under some apprehension of perkonai injury, although nothing was said calculated to excite i.is foars. ApplicaHon. Mr. Van Buren has foand tbe diiTerence between plundering the rich hoards of tho old Bank of tbe United States, when aided by tbe State Bbnlts, and provoking and starvindthe mulUtudiaoua swarm of the State Hanks themselves. FOR MR. VAN BURE^^AXD M«. CALHOUN. The Shephenf Md ku Dog. The Shepherd caught hili Qbg killing sheep, and was about to hang him. T5e Ilouse-Dofr plead haid for tho other, savinjr, that he ooly Itifled a Sheep now and then, '•but?* ssid he, "if you hffg him the Wolves will come and destroy the whole flock." "I must run that risk," said the Shopherd. "A traitor, who has preyed on the poor Sheep be was M to guard, must not be spared. And» terk ye,Tray! You have the name of an hooaetdog now; but you must not forget that you loved mulloa yourself, until you were tied to an eld ram, who butted you half to death. Do you propose to go snacks with this villian,sirrah! Not an other word! Or I'll reeve the other eud of the rope about your neck." Applieaiion. How Mr. Calhoun got to be a State Bighta Ifao, hebest knows. This much is cesuio, that when old Jackson caught - him tangled in the mysteries of Ndlfication, he dealt with him in auofa a aort as to leave him no alternative but to renounoe his old principles of free construction and federal iiinroma cy. But when w» hear biro pleading fir Buren, who betrayed him and us, we cannot help mw> lecting that he has not forgotten his first love. When he can reconcile himself to Van Buren, he can find little difficulty in reconciling Nullification with Consolidation. FOR STATE RIGH-TS—JACKSON—VAN BUREN l»OLITICIANa TAe one-tjfed Deer. A Deer that had one eye, chose his leeeding ground on tho shore of a lake, where he always gazed with his blind-side to the water. A hunter took a boat, and, gliding aileatly aloog, came close to himand shot him. Application. The State Rights party aflirtnod the sovereignty of the States, contended for strict constructions of the federal constitution, and denied tho ooostitatioa-ality of the Bank, the TariflT, and the system of Internal Improvement. When the charter of the Bank was about to expire, the occasion drew the attention of somo of that party exclusively to that, und they forgot lo look for danger from any other iiuarter. By siding with them on that one point, the Federal Government has succeeded ia trampling down tbe sovereignly of the Slates; in rivet-ling the Tttriff* on the South by means of tbe force-bill; in making the Preirident's will the criterion of tho constitutionality of any Internal In»roveroent; and tho President's Proclamation the Cofurtitution of tho United States! FABLES FOR GREAT MEN. We have received from our friend. Fabulist, some further paraphases of iKsop. As a sort of intoduc-tion to the whole, he re<)uests us to give the first place to the following Fable. We may add, by the way, that they are from one of the most distin- fuished pens in Virginia—thrown off*in his "Idle lours." FOR THE LIONS OF THE DAY. TA« Iaoh and the Gnat. A Lion, springing one day from his den, tore the ground with his paws, lashed himself with his tsil, and roared defiance to the forest. At this moment, a Gnat stung him on the nose. The Lion sneezed majestically, and liAing up his huge paw, aimed h furious blow at the iinjiessive insect, who, in the next ntoment, was buuing in hta ear or tickling his eye-lids. The repeated attempts of the Lion to crush him were unavailing, and at length he was driven to seek refuge, from his paltry enemy, in the darkneas of his cave. Ap§tlieaiion The height of tha writer's ambiticji ia to act well tba part of tbe Gnat, leaving (be Liooa of tbe Day all tbe honors of that character. -"Ridieahini acrl Fortius ac melius magnss pierumfatereat res."

His attempt at reconciliatiooi and tha raauU ofit, are equally obvious. MR. GRAVES SPEAKING FOR HIMSELF. Mr. Graves recently in tbe United Statea House of Repieseniatives,concluded soma remarks in reference to ihe late duel, as follows: "I should do injustice to n^yself were I to conclude without saving that I was noc conscious at tha time, that I had invaded tbe privilcgesofthis Houea. 1 thought 1 was especially careful to preserve tha«.

On Saturday, April 10, Marymount University held the 15th annual
Special Olympics Regional Basketball Tournament.
It began with the parade of athletes to the music of Chariots of
Fire. César Rojas, a member of the Arlington White Panthers
team, led the way with the Special Olympics banner, and Megan Hughes,
also with the White Panthers, led the recitation of the athletes'
oath: "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in
the attempt."
This year, the 10 competing teams are members of Special Olympics
Virginia, Northern Virginia, Area 26. The athletes certainly fulfilled
their oath, and their team spirit and fair play were shining examples
of good sportsmanship. When the games ended, the Arlington Blue
Panthers took first place in the senior division (Reston Lady Hawks,
second; Arlington White Panthers, third; and Alexandria Wizards,
fourth), the Paul VI Panthers won the junior division (Timberwolves,
second; Bellefonte Wizards, third; and Fairfax Bullets, fourth),
and the Arlington Red Panthers won in the half-court division over
the Fairfax Fantastics. All the athletes came away knowing they
had given their best.
Organized by Marymount's Campus Ministry Association, the tournament
is a much anticipated, campus-wide volunteer activity. More than
90 Marymount students cheered on their adopted teams, participated
in half time events and games, and enjoyed a day of camaraderie
with the athletes.
