In the summer of 1976, the nation's capital is gearing up for the Bicentennial. Captain Beefheart's on the eight-track, and the hot new film "King Suckerman" has everyone talking. Two knockaround guys named Clay and Karras are out looking for trouble when they stumble onto a drug deal gone bad and end up with a pile of money that isn't theirs. When the well-armed dealer starts spilling blood to get to the cash, Clay and Karras must take a stand, go straight, and get justiceor maybe just sweet revenge.
Editorial Reviews
One minute, big-talking dealer Eddie Marchetti and his executive assistant, Clarence Tate, are setting up a peaceful buy for visiting ex-con Wilton Cooper and his buddies; the next minute, Dimitri Karras and Marcus Clay, who've come to score some dope, have slightly overreacted to an insulting remark Eddie made to his stoned-out girlfriend Vivian Lee. The next thing you know, Dimitri and Marcus are backing out the door with Vivian and with $20,000 that isn't theirs. Eddie, who calls himself "Eddie Spags" and tries to talk like Superfly, is too gutless to do anything but goggle. But Cooper swings into action as swiftly as Dimitri and Marcus shut down his deal in the first place. Backed up by half-wit brothers Ronald and Russell Thomas and by Bobby Roy Clagget, a kid who'd rather shoot than get involved in a lot of talking, Cooper tracks his prey to their homes (a memorable high-wire scene between Cooper, polite as pie, and Dimitri's mother) and places of business (a predictable shoot-up at Marcus's record store). It's all for the money, of courseonly it isn't: Dimitri and Marcus, who know they've made a big mistake, would love to find a safe way to offload the loot, and imperturbable Cooper isn't nearly as interested in recovering the coinhe insists he's only a broker on Eddie's behalfas in exterminating the upstarts. Pelecanos keeps up the tension with constant collisions over race, sex, and what passes for honor, as the characters hurtle toward a climactic Fourth of July confrontation that reads like a downscale urban remake of The Wild Bunch.
Now that he's gotten rid of the outsized heroes of The Big Blowdown (1996), Pelecanos can concentrate on what he does best: showing lowlifes at work, bragging, sweating, killing. As Eddie Spags would say, this book smokes.

Read an Excerpt
Wilton Cooper reached for the speaker, counterclockwised the volume. It sounded to him, with all that static and shit, like the brothers were talking Chinese. Like he was watching some chop-socky thing, Five Fingers of Death or something like that. Anyway, Cooper didn't need that tinny-ass box hanging on the window. He knew the dialogue by heart. He'd seen Black Caesar, what, five, six times already. Even had the original sound track on cassette tape. James Brown, doin' it to death. "Down and Out in New York City." "The Boss." And all that.
It wasn't Black Caesar that Cooper had come to see, anyhow. And it sure wasn't that peckerwood biker picture--Angels the Hard Way--no, Angels Hard as They Come, that's what it was--that had gone second on the triple bill. Cooper had come to check out that new one, The Master Gunfighter, with Tom Laughlin and Ron O'Neal. Billy Jack and Superfly, way out West. Yeah, that would be something to see. He'd been waiting on that one to open for a long time.
Wilton Cooper took a last swig of Near Beer, crushed the can, tossed it over his shoulder to the backseat. He placed the speaker back in its cradle, got out of his ride, walked past rows of cars to the darkened field behind the projection house. With all that liquid in him, he had a fierce need to drain his lizard, and he just couldn't abide waiting in the men's room line.
Cooper moaned a little as he let a long stream fly. He could see the screen, Fred Williamson walking out of Tiffany's just before being gut-shot by that Irishman dressed as a cop. He always liked this part, and then the wild chase scene throughManhattan, people on the street looking right into the camera, the director not bothering to edit or reshoot, maybe because he had no budget for it, or he just plain didn't give a shit. Cooper dug checking out the extras, trying not to look into the lens but not able to help themselves, doing it just the same. On a bigger-budget feature the producers never would have let that slide. Cooper thought it was cool, though, just the way it was.
He shook himself off, tucked his snake back in where it belonged.
He saw a white boy then, heading from the opposite end of the field in the direction of the projection bunker's rear door.
The boy had one of those ratty, blown-out Afros, big as Dr. J's. He wore lemon yellow bells, with a rayon print shirt tails out over the pants. The shirt was untucked because he had slipped a short-barreled rifle--or a sawed-off, Cooper couldn't tell which--down inside the pant leg along his right hip.
Cooper knew. He had been with stickup kids who had done it the same way, walking into liquor stores and banks. Point of fact, this boy he knew, Delaroy was his name, he had worn his shotgun just that way when the two of them had done that Gas-and-Go outside of Monroe, Louisiana. That was the last armed robbery Cooper had ever done, the one that got him his five-year bit in Angola. He was into different shit now.
Anyway, that was Louisiana, and this here was Fayetteville, North Kakilaki. Now what the fuck was this white boy going to do with that big gun?
Cooper watched him walk--strut, really--toward the cinder-block bunker. The kid's left hand was cupped at his side, and he kind of swung it on the down-step. As the kid passed below the light of the floodlamp, Cooper could see the four-inch heels on the boy's stacks. Those platforms, the Afro, and the kid's street-nigger strut: a white-boy, wanna-be-a-black-boy cracker. He had the walk down, a little too much with the hand action for Cooper's taste, but not bad. And the kid was cooler than a motherfucker, too, the way he went straight through the door without knocking, not even looking around before he did. Cooper wondered, What's going to happen next?
It took about a hot minute for him to find out. Cooper heard the muffled report of a long gun come from the projection bunker just as the redheaded phony cop fired his pistol into Fred Williamson on screen. So the kid had timed whatever he had done to go with the gunshots in the film. Maybe he had seen Black Caesar enough times to plan the whole thing out. Or maybe he wasn't into the movie and he just happened to work at the drive-in. Cooper was curious either way. He figured he'd hang back there in the dark a little bit. Wait until the white boy came out, ask him then.
When Bobby Roy Clagget walked into the projection bunker, the fat man didn't even turn around. Couldn't hear the door open and shut, what with the whir of the reels and the flutter of film running through the gate. Clagget stood there, watching the fat man's back, his rounded shoulders, red fireman's suspenders over a blue work shirt holding up a worn pair of jeans hanging flat on a no-ass frame.
Clagget pulled the sawed-off Remington up out of his pant leg by its stock. He racked the pump, pointed the .12-gauge at the fat man.
"You know what this is?" said Clagget. "You recognize that sound?"
The fat man turned around at Clagget's voice.
"Bobby Roy," said the fat man, a friendly smile right away, noticing the shotgun but not showing fear or surprise. Not showing Bobby Roy a bit of respect. "Who's coverin' the concessions?"
"I said, you recognize that sound?"
"What sound?"
Damn, he hadn't even heard the pump. This wasn't at all like the script he had written up in his head. Clagget went ahead with the dialogue anyway. There wasn't much else he could do.
"That there," said Clagget, "was the sound of your own death."
"Say what?" The fat man looked Clagget up and down. "Shoot, son, what y'all doin' with that hog's leg? You fixin' to take out some crows?"
Clagget looked over at the cot in the corner of the booth, where some sort of needlepoint the fat man had been working on lay on a pillow atop wrinkled sheets. Clagget had known nearly all projectionists to have their own funny hobbies--model-car making, Nam memorabilia, shit like that--and this one was no different than the rest.
Clagget's eyes went along the dust-specked shaft of light, through the rectangular window to the screen. Fred Williamson was crossing Fifth Avenue with the Tiffany presents in his hand. The bogus uniformed cop had begun to close in.
"Go lay down on that cot," said Clagget, "and put that pillow over your face."
"Huh?" The fat man chuckled. Clagget couldn't believe it. By God, he had actually laughed.
Black Caesar bumped into a man in a suit, a decoy for the cop. In another second or two would come the shot.
"Why you want me to lay down, Bobby Roy?"
"Never you mind that now," said Clagget. He stepped forward, gripped the Remington tight.
"Bobby Roy?" said the fat man.
And Clagget squeezed the trigger.
The fat man flew back, hit the cinder-blocks, took down a bulletin board hung there. Clagget pumped the shotgun--it felt good, doing that--and watched the fat man kind of flop around for a few seconds like a dry-docked perch. A jagged piece of bone jutted up from the center of the fat man's shredded shoulders. Clagget wondered idly where the man's head had gone.
He slipped the shotgun inside his pant leg. Walking to the door, he wiped what felt like a warm slug off his cheek, flung it to the side. He imagined Fred Williamson, shot now and staggering across the street. Bobby Roy Clagget began to sing the J.B. vocals that he knew were now filling the interior of every car on the lot: "Look at me, you know what you see? See a baaaad mother. . . ."
Clagget issued a brief sigh. Killing the fat man, it hadn't been like he expected. No thrill, no fear, and no remorse. It was no different than killing an animal. Nothing more than that.
The pillow would have made a good natural silencer--he had seen Henry Fonda use one for just that purpose in Once Upon a Time in the West--and it was too bad he couldn't have used it himself. The way it worked out, though, he just didn't have the time. Clagget opened the door, thinking about the pillow and not paying attention to anything else. That's when he saw the big black dude, standing just a few feet away on the edge of the field, a funny kind of grin on his face.
Cooper had to smile, seeing the skinny white boy up close, a pattern of blood and who knew what else sprayed onto the front of his cheap print shirt. What was that, Tarzan swinging on vines all over the shirt? Couldn't be.
"What's goin' on?" said Cooper, still smiling, no threat at all in his voice.
"What's happenin', blood?"
Blood. Shit, Cooper couldn't have been more right.
"Just out here relieving myself. Saw you go inside. Thought I'd greet you when you came out."
The white boy cocked his hip, maintaining that all-the-way cool. "Oh, yeah? Why's that?"
"Thought you might need a friend, is all." Cooper pointed his chin in the direction of the boy's chest. "You done fucked up that pretty shirt. From the blow-back and shit."
The white boy looked down at himself, showed real regret at the sight. "Damn. My finest one, too."
Cooper watched the boy run his hand under the shirt, thinking now about pulling the weapon.
Cooper said, "Uh-uh."
"What's that?"
"Don't be drawing that long gun out. Don't even try. I'd be on you so fast . . . Look here, little brother"--little brother, Cooper knew he'd like that--"I mean you no harm. For real."
The white boy squinted his eyes. "What you want then, man?"
"The name's Wilton Cooper. You?"
"Make it B.R. For Bobby Roy."
"B.R. Bobby Roy. All right, here it is. I already know you're brave, but, no disrespect intended, that don't make you smart in the bargain. Now, whatever you did in there--"
"I killed a man."
There it was. Like it didn't mean a damn thing.
"Okay. You work here, right?"
"That's gonna make you suspect number one. And I bet you pumped out a shell in that booth, didn't you?"
"I did."
"I know you did. 'Cause it kind of put a period on the end of the sentence, if you know what I mean. So they're gonna be looking to talk to you, and soon after, they're gonna have an empty shotgun shell with your prints on it. . . ." Cooper let it sink in. "By the way, you got wheels?"
"No ride. How were you fixin' to get away?"
"Walk out, I guess. Through them woods."
"And if you made it through those swampy woods--that is, if the copperheads didn't get you first--what were you going to do then? Hitch a ride out on the two-lane? Wait for the county sheriff to pass on by?"
Clagget's shoulders slumped. "I hear you. But what do you want?"
Cooper said, "Tell you what. You ride out with me; we'll talk about it then."
"I don't know. I need to think."
"While you're thinking on it, think of this: This picture's got one more reel to it, right?"
"Yeah. The Hammer's gotta go and get the crooked cop, the one who fucked him up when he was a kid. Then he goes back to Harlem, gets it himself from the kids in his own neighborhood--"
"I know the picture, man. You don't have to tell me, 'cause I know. The thing is, when this reel is over--oh, I'd say about two minutes from now--your manager or whoever is gonna be runnin' back here to find out why the screen's turned all white."
"I do believe you got a point." Clagget rubbed his face. "Okay. Maybe we better go."
"Good. Mind, you don't want to be walking around where everyone can see you like that."
"Pick me up, then. I'll wait right here."
"And I'll just be a minute. Swing on back around with my short."
Bobby Roy Clagget watched the black man head back toward the cars, wide of shoulder and walking proud. He was big, strong as Jim Brown. Not the uncomfortable Jim Brown from 100 Rifles. The bad motherfucker Brown from Slaughter's Big Rip-Off. Big and bad like that. Clagget wouldn't mind riding with a guy like Wilton Cooper, at least long enough to get out of town. While he was riding, see what this Cooper dude had in mind.
Cooper brought his ride--a 1970 Challenger convertible, red on red with a wide black hood stripe running between the NACA scoops--around to the side of the projection house. Clagget went to the passenger side, opened the door, pulled the shotgun free, slipped it back behind the seat, dropped into the bucket, and shut the door. He ran his hand along the wood-grained dash.
"Damn," said Clagget. "Vanishing Point!"
"Cleavon Little."
"You know your movies, Cooper?"
"I've seen a few."
"I'm into movies myself."
"I sensed that in you, B.R."
The big screen had gone blank. A white man in a starched white shirt sprinted toward the projection bunker as a cacophony of horns filled the night air.
"That your boss?"
"Then we best be on our way."
It took a little while to get out of the drive-in. Some frustrated customers up ahead had decided to go on and leave. Cooper put the Challenger into the back of the line, got comfortable in the bucket, let himself relax. He wasn't worried about the cops just yet. He was a patient man until things got real good and hot, and he could see that the kid was, too. Cooper reached into his shirt pocket, withdrew a Salem long.
"I could use one of those myself," said Clagget.
Cooper shook one free, struck a match, held the flame out for Clagget. In the light he saw the awful cranberry red acne patterned like vomit on the boy's cheeks. The acne ruined his looks, but other than that, like many backwoods white boys, Clagget seemed almost featureless. Just a boy, most likely, not yet twenty-one.
"Thanks, bro," said Clagget.
"Sure thing," said Cooper, and he put the match to his own smoke. They were moving now, almost out of the exit gate.
"Funny thing," said Clagget.
"What's that?"
"The fat man. He never knew it was coming. Not even up till the end. And even then, I don't believe he ever knew why."
"Why'd you croak him then, man?"
"He was always lookin' at me. Lookin' at me and smilin'. And as hard as I'd look back at him, he'd still be giving me this smile. It got to the point I knew I'd have to take that smile off his face for real."
"You killed him 'cause he smiled at you."
"I guess."
"You ever think, B.R.--and I'm just makin' conversation here--that the man was smilin' just to be friendly?"
"I don't know. You could be right." Clagget dragged on his smoke, shrugged, looked down at the cigarette between his thin fingers. "Ain't too much I can do about it now."
"You got that right, B.R. You surely do."
They were out of the drive-in and going west on the two-lane. A cop car screamed down the asphalt toward them.
"Let's put the top down, Wilton."
"Might want to wait a minute on that one. Let the sheriff get on past." Cooper steadied the wheel with his thighs, put his hands over his ears to shut out the siren as the cop car went by. He hated that sound. He watched the taillights fade, put his hands back on the wheel. "Well, there goes your ride, boy. The one I was describing to you earlier."
Clagget nodded. "I do thank you."
"Glad to help."

For those who have yet to read Pelecanos, I would reccomend starting with this one. It is violent and funny and without a doubt his 'coolest' book. As the Karras/Clay series goes on it on it gets even better, more of the soul Pelecanos is known for. I started with the Karras/Clay trilogy (King Suckerman, The Sweet Forever, Shame the Devil) before reading the Strange/Quinn Quartet (Right as Rain, Hell to Pay, Soul Circus, Hard Revolution) and each book is great. But I'll always love the K/C trilogy the most. So unlike anything in crime fiction before or since. Basically three really great revenge stories. Pelecanos is the most organic crime writer alive, his books like the best of American movies - great genre stories with something bigger to say than their genre trappings usually allow (think Chinatown, The Wild Bunch, The Godfather).
This is an amazing book!!! I just finished it about 30 seconds ago and I just had to spread the word out to all readers that George Pelecanos is one of the greatest crime novelists of all time. Pelecanos, along with peers such as Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, and Richard Price, write crime novels that are entertaining, heart-felt, and also very realistic. I do not want to really describe the plot because the reader should just open this book and enter Washington D.C. in 1976. With the amazing writing from Pelecanos, it is not hard to do this. Pelecanos greatly describes the music, clothes, cars, movies and television shows of the period. Read all of his books along with all the books of the writers I have mentioned above, plus all the seasons of The Wire, you will not be dissapointed.
I have read and enjoyed several of the more recent (2001 - 2004) Pelecanos books and bought this 1997 earlier one. It is mostly drugs, swearing, murder, masturbation and sodomy. My copy is going into the trash.

Coal (book)
Coal is a collection of poetry by Audre Lorde, published in 1976.[1] It was the first of Lorde's work to be released by a major publisher.[2] Lorde's poetry in Coal explored themes related to the several layers of her identity as a "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet."[3][4]
Coal consists of five sections. While Audre Lorde presents poems that express each part of her identity, race undoubtedly plays a significant role in Coal. A major theme within the volume is Lorde's angry reaction towards racism. For Lorde, expressing anger was not destructive. Instead, Lorde transforms "rage at racism into triumphant self-assertion."[5] She specifically dedicates the book "To the People of Sun, That We May All Better Understand."[1] In addition, another significant part of the volume explores her existence as a lesbian, friend, and a former lover, specifically in the fourth section that consists of one long poem titled "Martha" that outlines the recovery of Lorde's former lover after a car accident.[1]:53
Origin of the title[edit]
The volume's namesake comes from a poem in the first section titled "Coal". It is written in free-verse and first-person. The idea of an identity consisting of several layers is exemplified in this poem. One's true identity is often hidden behind several muddled layers. Lorde alludes toward this concept by her recurrent use of the dual imagery of a piece of coal and a diamond. As the speaker of the poem, Lorde begins by equating herself with a piece of coal.[6]
Section I[edit]
The array of topics and nuances that are explored in Lorde's poems pertain to her own multifaceted-ness, signifying her status as "a self-styled "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet."[7] The poem "Rites of Passage" shows as having a preoccupation with the male principle and with power. In it, she laments "their fathers are dying / whose deaths will not free them."[1]:53 This poem, as well as "Father Son and Holy Ghost," "Rooming Houses Are Old Women," and "The Woman Thing" show "attempts to unify [women] in this patriarchal society."[8] Poems such as "Coal" and "Generation" showcase Lorde's position "as a visionary of a better world."[3] The poem "Coal" is both autobiographical and allegorical in effect, as "she not only wrote for herself, but for her children and women as well."[2] In the poem, Lorde's personal self-acceptance of her African American identity is meant to coalesce with the self-acceptance and the unification among all African American women, who Lorde hopes can find the "place of power within each of [themselves]" and "celebrate this womanly well of passion and creativity."[8] Coal is a metaphor for Lorde's African American heritage. However it is "also associated with Eros and with creativity; she celebrated this source as what she called 'woman's place of power within each of us.'"[9] The metamorphosis from coal into diamond represents Lorde's embracing of her identity, creativity and imagination, as "I am Black because I come from the earth's inside now take my word for jewel in the open light".[1]:6
Section II[edit]
The second part of the collection appears to deal primarily with the theme of childhood. In "Now That I Am Forever With Child" Lorde uses nature as a descriptive metaphor of her pregnancy, giving it a pure and ethereal effect, as she describes the child as "blooming within [her]."[1]:21 In the poem Lorde hopes for her daughter to be a free and independent spirit, harkening back to Lorde's characteristic "as a visionary of a better world."[3] In "What My Child Learns of the Sea" an association is further made between her child and the natural world. In "Story Books on a Kitchen Table," Lorde impressionistically recounts her own childhood and experiences with her negligent mother who "out of her womb of pain… spat me into her ill-fitting harness of despair."[1]:27 In "Poem for a Poet," the reader is given a glimpse of Lorde's own methods as a writer, and features a reference to poet Randall Jarrell.[10]
Section III[edit]
Part three of the anthology consists of eleven poems. The poems in this section predominantly discuss Lorde's experiences as both a wife and a mother. In the poem "A Child Shall Lead" Lorde uses sensory imagery to express her concerns about her son and what will become of him in the future. Another poem "Paperweight" describes her frustrations with her heterosexual marriage. Throughout the poem, Lorde likens paper to something that can console her, because she uses it to write her poetry. The poem takes a dramatic turn in tone in the last stanza stating "or fold them [paper] all into a paper fan / with which to cool my husband's dinner."[1]:48
Section IV[edit]
Part four contains a single poem in 5 sections entitled "Martha." The poem delves into the emotional torment Lorde experiences when her partner was in the hospital, after experiencing severe brain trauma in a car accident. Although the poem is written entirely in Lorde's own voice, she also inserts some dialogue, including statements that Martha may or may not have said. Throughout the poem, Lorde offers her own views on life and death as she sits by Martha's side for what appears to be more than a couple of months. When Martha's own family comes to see her, she orders them away, wanting nothing to do with them. Both women reject their typical family lives in order to have a relationship with each other. The last line of the poem reads "You cannot get closer to death than this Martha / the nearest you've come to living yourself,"[1]:62 leaving it unknown whether or not Martha actually dies.
Section V[edit]
The fifth and final section of Lorde's volume primarily revolves around loss, mourning and commemoration. Lorde's personal reaction to unrequited love is an overwhelming theme in this section. There is a tone of sadness in all the poems. In "The Songless Lark," one of Lorde's shortest poems in the volume, the speaker mourns the departure of a loved one, declaring, "Sun shines so brightly on the hill / before you went away."[1]:67 Lorde seems to end the volume in a bleak tone. The second to last poem of the book, "Second Spring" begins, "We have no passions left to love the spring / who have suffered autumn as we did, alone" and finishes the poem with "while we stood still / racked on the autumn's weeping / binding cold love to us."[1]:69 Lorde's use of seasonal imagery seems to insinuate the passing of time, but there is a lack of growth and development in the poem. The speaker begins declaring that they have no passions left and ends standing in the cold.
Critical responses[edit]
Coal received generally positive reviews from critics, especially among her peers and other female poets.
Black, lesbian, mother, urban woman: None of Lorde's selves has ever silenced the others; the counterpoint among them is often the material of her strongest poems.
In poetry that is as compelling for its ethical vision as for its language, Lorde dares to imagine a changed world.

I have shot a few squirrels with fmj 223, with an all weather m77 Ruger sported. It didn't do much damage, and was still edible, so you could make a 223 work for small game. But then, there's that loud report.
It all just really depends on what you want to do, enviroment, and situation.
For me, my SHTF rifles are the Colt AR-15 govt. carbine and for back-up, the venerable Ruger 10-22. I think the 10-22 is going to be a hard one to beat in an all around disaster SHTF scenario.
If I need heavy fire power, I have a FN FAL, but the rifle and ammo are a heavy load to carry around. But I would likely go with my FN Mauser 98 bolt action in .30-06 as it's lighter than the FAL and the .30-06 beats out the .308 by a small margin. I do however have much more .308 ammo on hand.
This is what my buddies and I came up with back in the 1980's, when we were in the Navy reading Jerry Ahern's "The Survivalist" novels (not much to do while cruising the North Arabian Sea keeping an eye on the Iranians). Not much has changed in 25 years!
As for the rifle, it'd be my SP6920...
"[I still don;t have the imagination needed to figure out why I am hiking to begin with]"
Yes, Unless nuked, I'm staying put with family & Freinds. Nice lakes plenty of small game & deer.
A plus on keeping looters off land with a few long guns set ups for 200 yards +, Plenty of water as the arteitian well does'nt need power.
Well I took this thread so far of track, sorry & lets hope it never happen ; )
Everybody has to "hike" at least a little bit during any SHTF scenario.
Hiking right down the middle of a once busy highway (abandoned vehicles strewn all over the place complete with half-rotted corpses still seated in drivers seats) & you must hike while wearing tattered clothing & sporting a zombie like "eyes glassed over" blank stare on your dirty radiation burned face.
Get with the program!
Depending on ones location, I think the " hiking " part is for the most common sense dependent upon scope and type of disaster.
A very realistic scenario would be a Pandemic outbreak in an urban area, or disaster such as earth quake which would render all roads useless or so clogged that vehicle travel is impossible.
This means getting you and your family to safety and that means walking out. And that means taking only what you need on your back.
Even if you own land, and are armed to the teeth with high caliber rifles, if enough hungry or desperate people want you out, you will either flee, or die trying to keep it.
Different scenarios all bring their own problems.
With the ammunition inventory and the spare parts on hand, I can keep an M1 going best so will choose that. While we're only suppose to have a single choice in this thread I buy into the .22 rifle concept so realistically would have one along as well. If holing up someplace is called for we have our own property for that with game including deer.
I suspect that armadillo would become a tedious staple as they may be caught easiest and would probably be available after the deer herd was decimated.
Another 10/22 here. Anyone surprised (given my tag)? I am liking CCI Velocitors but don't discriminate. I may get another VERY soon, on sale locally, including the threaded barrel model. I assume I am taking a sidearm as well. As someone else has pointed out and I repeat often to friends, I have yet to find anyone willing to be shot by a .22.
Here in Corpus when the wind blows more than 35mph, I grab the wife, kids and AR and we start a hikin'... In reality, the only reason we'd be making movement is to get to the ranch, which is about 50 miles away. SHTF for me is a hurricane. Anything apocalyptic, I only need one bullet.
Yup...with a wife and two small kids, I'd have an almost impossible task to try and hike anywhere. Unless absolutely forced to move, we're defending in place, hopefully with some help from the neighbors.
I chose AR, but once I finish suppressing my 10/22, I might choose that. Depends, am I hunting small game? Or trying to fight off villains? If I'm trying to quietly hunt and keep a low profile, I'd choose my 10/22 which is yet to be suppressed. For fighting, my AR. But seeing as though this is all about "hiking", I'd have a hard time not taking my AR because you never know what you'll be up against. You may only need to hunt, and with FMJ ammo, it will do very little damage to a squirrel. With OTM ammo, it will do serious damage to a humanoid target. So it can be used for both. So I'll stick with my AR if I leave. If I'm staying in, I'd keep the AR or AK strictly for defensive use or bigger game purposes. I'd hunt mainly with the 10/22 to keep a low profile and not attract possible thieves by the sound of gun shots. Some bad people may come with firepower to kill you and steal your firepower. It's all fun and games to think about it and plan! :smile: But once the infamous S really does HTF... the fun ends.
I don't have a lot of guns (depends on who you talk to), and I'm not an expert in any of them, but I feel I know enough and have a well rounded enough selection to get me through most realistic situations. I don't have any exotic calibers so finding ammo isn't too difficult.

Spectroscopy. If signs of life on another planet are ever discovered, they will be found with a spectrograph | ESO
Oce Eeco stashed this in Astro
<< Spectroscopy is one of an astronomer's favourite tools to help understand the Universe. Planets, stars and galaxies are just too far away to be analysed in a laboratory. Fortunately, very important information about these distant bodies is written in the light we detect with a telescope.
But the light is not an open book. To be read, light must be split into its different colours (or wavelengths), in the same way that rain droplets disperse the light to form a rainbow. Newton called this rainbow of colours a spectrum, the Latin word for "image".
The first astronomical application of spectroscopy was in the analysis of sunlight by Fraunhofer and Kirchhoff, in the early 19th century. It was expected that the white light emitted from the Sun would produce a clean rainbow when passing through a prism. But, for the very first time, a pattern of dark lines was also noticed. These unexpected lines were the "fingerprints" imprinted in the light by the different chemical elements interacting with it and are called absorption lines.
The beauty of this interaction is that each chemical element or molecule produces a unique signature in the spectrum, a sort of barcode that unequivocally identifies one element from another. By decoding these barcodes, spectroscopy can reveal important properties of any body which emits or absorbs light.
The spectrum of a star or any astronomical object not only reveals the presence of certain chemical elements, but also informs about the prevailing physical conditions, such as temperature and density. Spectra can also tell us about motion: by using the Doppler effect, the speed of a star or a galaxy with respect to the Earth can be measured. This effect is used to discover extrasolar planets, and a similar effect allows astronomers to measure the distances to galaxies. Spectra also contain information on the magnetic field present in the object, the composition of the matter and much more.
The next generation of spectrographs, like those planned for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), will go beyond anything we can currently achieve. Among the things we cannot do today, astronomers expect to be able to look for possible traces of life in the atmospheres of exoplanets similar to Earth. If signs of life are ever discovered on another planet, it's most likely that the instrument involved will be a spectrograph. >>

LIVERPOOL (AFP) – Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has cautioned about placing too much expectation on Daniel Sturridge following his goalscoring return to action in a 2-0 win at home to West Ham.
After Raheem Sterling put Liverpool ahead, second-half substitute Sturridge doubled the Merseysiders' lead after five months out with thigh and calf injuries.
Despite that absence, the England international showed no signs of rustiness as he produced a clinical finish to score just 13 minutes after coming on to the pitch at Anfield.
But Rodgers urged fans to be patient with the 25-year-old forward, even though Sturridge finished off the kind of chance Liverpool's goal-shy strikers have missed all season.
"It was nice for him and he's been out for a long time," Rodgers said.
"It's about managing his game time. When he's in that area he's shown for us over a couple of years here that he is lethal.
"Daniel is a top-class player, he has shown that in his career so far. He worked very hard and the first opportunity that came his way he took.
"It was a great first touch and a wonderful finish. I'm delighted for him. You can see it is now just about managing his game-time and introduction into the team."

Alright.. UGH! Status: Dropped -_- i'm really sorry. and i just don't wanna delete it just like that. ( ¬,¬) besides this doesn't involve any of the main characters anyway.
Well, because, i got stuck in the game. I can't find Ur and kept on dying. I feel annoyed now with all those 'game over' words. =_=
Hey there! This will be my first story here, so i hope you'll enjoy it!
(Bytheway,therearealittlepartsherethatisalittlehar dtounderstand,soifyou'repatienttowaituntiltheendof thestory,there'saspecialchaptercalled'Facts' 'sonlyashortstory,sodon'tworryaboutwaitingforsolon g,andi'mworkingonit...yeah.)
And one more thing, the characters here are not of any main characters, they're just normal villagers in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim.
So here it goes! ^^
Chapter 1: First Encounter
In Canaan Islands, there were two normal villagers which had strange relationship with each other. Cloa was new to town, he came with his sister, Rose, he was usually outside selling things, while Tise was a maid in Isaac's restaurant in Port Rimorge, she doesn't quite go outside, so both of them doesn't know each other. But one day, a friend of Cloa, Laru, went to visit him in Port Rimorge, he was from Quatera, he went straight to Isaac's restaurant and saw Tise. When Laru finally found Cloa he tells him about this maid he saw…
"Hey Cloa, have you seen the pretty maid in Isaac's resto?"
"What? I've never actually went there"
"My sister doesn't let me"
"Oh, come on! Are you a mama's boy? Or… sister's boy? You should go there you know, you'll miss a chance. There aren't many cute single ladies here eh?"
"Oh there is one"
"Maple. You know the maid who works for Baslam?"
"So, how is she?"
"We're good"
"You liar"
In Isaac's Restaurant, it was a little busy…
"Hey, Tise" Isaac called
Then Tise came up, "What?"
"I'm sorry to ask this to you, but can you please borrow a medicine from Sophia? Nali really needs one of those"
"Oh, sure, but…*sigh* alright, I can do it"
"Thank you very much, Tise. Please be careful"
"I will"
Then Tise walked passed Cloa who looks like having problem on his own, then finally at Sophia's house
"H-Hello, good evening…"
"*gasp* Hey mom! It's Tise! Tise what are you doing here? I've never seen you out of the restaurant!" Sia said
"Um, yeah, it was… an emergency"
"Emergency? For what?" Sophia asked
"Isaac's asking for a medicine for Nali, she doesn't feel well"
"Oh really? Well, please wait a moment; I'll get it right away"
After getting the medicine, Tise walked alone in the dark going to the restaurant. Then suddenly, she felt a little dizzy, almost falling…
"Whoa there!" A man said who caught Tise in his arms
"*moans* I-I'm sorry, I-I don't feel quite well…"
"It's alright. Want me to walk you home?"
"N-no! Please, I can walk alone"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, thanks"
That man…he just came in this town, right? It's the first time I saw him here…but, his hair… and his eyes, it's like I've seen him before…
Isaac's restaurant…
"Oh finally! Tise come in here! Hurry! Nali doesn't look well!"
In a room downstairs, Nali lies unconscious…
*dinks medicine*
"Oh, thank God, her fever went down" Isaac said, "Huh, Tise you don't look good"
"Your face was pale. Did you somehow… encounter someone outside?"
"Uh, n-no, not really" *looks out the window*

Jenny McCarthy Distances Herself from Anti-Vaccination Movement
Jenny McCarthy has been in the spotlight in the anti-vaccination movement for the past few years after coming out saying that vaccinations triggered autism in her child. In the above video, you can see an interview with McCarthy on CNN promoting her book Mother Warriors: A Nation of Parents Healing Autism Against All Odds - Whew! What a mouthful that title was - where she is explicitly arguing that vaccinations trigger autism in children.
Now, in a recent article published by the Huffington Post, The View co-host is distancing herself from the anti-vaccine crowd, stating that she was wrongly branded "anti-vaccine." She goes on to say in a Sun Times Op-Ed:
"This is not a change in my stance nor is it a new position that I have recently adopted."

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Grocery Showcase West held at the Vancouver Conversion Centre April 10 & 11.. With a huge range of new products as well as our favorite oldies, the Grocery Showcase West is Canada's insight into the grocery industry with over 400 exhibitors featuring the major national brands as well as the smaller manufactures.
It looks like these major brands, distributors and private processors are finally starting to listen to consumers giving us what we are asking for. Over the two day event new product developments and latest trends were featured. We discussed how marketing has entered the digital age through social media. It is becoming part of their everyday use in order to capture today's consumers. "Today's consumers are smart and well connected – looking for deals and promotions."
When Grocery Alerts was founded in 2008 we seen a demand for replacing clipping coupons to clicking coupons we are at the forefront and about to see a revolutionary change like never before. We are finally moving from print to online and our favorite national brands are responding like never before.
In the meantime – Grocery Alerts selected what was Lina's 10 ten products at the Grocery Showcase West. Let's hope we see some coupons for the top 10 favorite products in the up coming year. Check out the video for an up and coming new product that children will be screaming for!

A vigil to honour the victims of the Paris attacks took place on the steps of the Art Gallery Friday with a candlelight vigil.
Hundreds of spectators braved the cold and rain, protecting candles under umbrellas.
"I'm here because I want to be with all the people in Paris"
"I'm here because I come from France"
"It's tragic, shocking news and I thought it would be valuable if people came out and showed their support to the people of Paris."
A canopy of umbrellas protected the candles and the spectators from the cold and rain, as people slowly made their way up to the top of the steps to place candles and pay their respects.
Crystal was one of the people at the vigil.
Having lived in Paris for 6 years, she was very familiar with the sites of the tragedy.
"I know these places, especially the Bataclan, and I know the band that was playing there as well so I was very shocked, actually."
Coming to the vigil was a way of sending her support to those back in Paris.
"I'm here because I want to be with all the people in Paris and because we are very far from everyone but we don't want them to feel like we don't think about them."
The attacks in Paris were the deadliest in Europe since the 2004 Madrid bombings.
At one point, the crowd erupted into a spontaneous rendition of the national anthem of France.

Dear Friends,
I am flabbergasted at your offers. First, early this AM Mark Woodstock
in NY offered to send me an un-named green sport of Halcyon. Then John
Kee in Canada offered to provide Grundspect and Canadian Shield. Then
Ran Lydell offered Canadian Shield and Valery's Vanity, followed closely
by Robyn Duback who offered a couple but I can't keep track which ones
now, then Glen Pether in England offered to go to Belgium and get
Grunspect from Fransen's Nursery. I thank you all but suggest the first
three offers appear to be the simplest for me and for those who offered
to help.
I plan to travel to Canada the first week in August and will see Ran on
the way and expect to see John soon after. So thank you Robyn and Glen.
Your help is appreciated but now is not necessary. Also I would not want
to put you to any trouble. But I remain flabbergasted at your
willingness to be helpful. Thanks again.

From Our Editors
The Greek word iam means "to be present," and the instructors at Iam Yoga encourage this mental state. They draw from dozens of forms of ancient and modern exercise, including Yin meditation, Hatha yoga, and Pilates. The mélange of influences leads to a roster of class styles that, like a lazy ferris wheel, rotates daily, staving off the boredom of repetition and encouraging pupils to stay mentally present. Frosted glass windows filter blue-tinged sunlight across the studio's polished bamboo floors. In contrast to the cool colour scheme, heated rooms summon detoxifying sweat and loosen muscles for deeper stretches during more than 22 styles of yoga each week.

"Please don't be mad," Melina spoke keeping her eyes focus on our parents. Feeling worried I couldn't help but scratch my neck as I waited for Melina to elaborate.
"We were out shopping for our dresses I ended up in the fairy kingdom." I saw as mum grasped dad's hand. "I met with the fairy queen and she gave me a dress, but in exchange she wanted me to meet with her son. She also told me that…her son and I were betrothed." Melina told them in a steady tone of voice.
"And did he come forward and show himself?" Dad asked.
"Yes, although keeping it a mystery until the ball where he finally showed himself and raised a lot of money in order to win me." Melina smiled not doubt remembering the event and the events that followed after.
Mum closed her eyes briefly and sighed. "Are his feelings true for you?"
'Remember don't mention the potion,' I warn my sisters knowing that our parents would not like us dealing potions such as that.
"In the short time that we have each I know that he cares deeply for me and after what he told me of our shared past how I could not care for him in return." Ignetia appeared in Melina arms. Melina strokes her scales with her eyes glazed over.
"It's a start, every relationship grows with time" uncle Rex stretched out his legs out and covered up a yawn from his mouth.
"I didn't think it would be this soon," dad said quietly.
"Dad surely you knew that we would all find someone to love, it's tradition after all and yes it's soon for Melina but"-
"Marcella you needn't defend your sister," Mum cut me off my speech. She looked at dad as they nodded to each other. "You see we knew of the fairly queen plans to marry her son to Melina."
My hand freezes on my neck as her sentence sinks in. Madelyn eyes winded as she snaps her head to Melina who was currently counting to ten loudly in her thoughts. It was not a good sign. Nor were the thoughts that came forward like a herd of wildebeest.
Surprisingly it was uncle Rex who spoke who was clearly annoyed from his tone of voice, "for sixteen years you've know Melina fate to marry the queens son?" He looks at each of my parents poker faces. "There is more to this than meets the eyes. Your own daughter," Rex looks to my mother.
"Rex you are a guest in my house, I don't want to lose my friend over matters of my family," dad says sternly.
"Stop this," Melina snaps coming to her feet. "If anyone got any reason to feel betrayed it's me."
'Oh holy gems stones,' I think aloud as I see blue waves of anger in her eyes.
'Counting to ten won't work this time,' Madelyn thought back leaning back on her chair with her head looking up.
"Dam right it won't Madelyn," Melina snapped back again making our dad jump to his feet.
"I will not stand for it Melina!" He shouted making us jump, it was rare that he shouted and when he it always shocked us. "Do you think this has been easy on us?
"Do you think this is easy on me?!" Melina shouted her hands clenched by her sides and Ignetia perched on her shoulder.
I stand going over to Melina touching her hand, 'calm down everyone's emotions are running too highly.'
Melina snatches her hand away, "you don't know what it's like."
"We couldn't tell you Melina," mum spoke I could hear the regret in her voice. "She wouldn't allow it."
"I don't want to hear anymore," Melina put her arms in the air. "I need some air." Melina walked away from the quiet room.
"Is Madelyn to marry a doctor? Have you arranged those details out yet?" Uncle Rex said sarcastically as Melina feet echoed on the stairs.
"One more comment like that and you will me leaving my house," dad warned uncle Rex making his action very clear as he pointed towards the door.
"Girls why don't you go and unpack it's getting late," mum said calmly.
"I can't believe this," Madelyn mutters as she stands. I look at each of them knowing that a cloaking spell would be put up as we left the room.
"Melina needs to know what's being said," I say to them before leaving with Madelyn.
As much as I loved the guest bedroom there's nothing like coming home to your own room. I ran my fingers over my desk and sigh feeling a sense of peace as my room welcomed me back home. That peace however, soon disappeared as I heard the front doorbell chime. Who on earth could be knocking at this hour? I waited wondering if anyone else would answer. It soon became apparent by the third ring that nobody else could hear the doorbell.
I left the peace of my room, going past the firmly closed living room door and went downstairs to the main door. The doorbell rang once more, "no patients some people." I muttered feeling tired from the hectic day.
Finding the keys I opened the door expecting to see a person but saw no one. I looked around with my eyes wondering if it was some kind of joke when I notice a small bouquet of white flowers.
There was no note attached to the pale blue wrapping, just a silver ribbon bow. I bent to pick up the flowers inhaling their sweet scent and wondered what type of flowers these were… More importantly who were they from?

Dust monitoring
Research project profile
Left to accumulate on objects, dust becomes unsightly. But it can also chemically react with an object's surface causing damage. And even the most careful cleaning can cause very slight damage to objects. The best policy, therefore, is to minimise the amount of dust falling on the objects as much as possible.
To measure the amount of dust in our state apartments, we leave glass microscope slides out at various locations and at various heights. After two weeks lying undisturbed, we collect them and measure the amount of dust which has fallen on them. This is done using a microscope, and computer software which identifies and counts dust particles. We are repeating this monitoring process over a few months to build up a picture of where most dust collects and how this changes with the fitting of new carpets.
Our method for monitoring dust was developed at Historic Royal Palaces and won a conservation award in 2004.
Getting results
We will get the results of this particular study in October, but we carry out routine dust monitoring in other parts of the palace too. We use the monitoring results to tell us how well our protective measures (such as stanchions, mats, and barriers) are working to prevent dust falling on objects.
Further information
We have been working with colleagues at the National Trust, English Heritage and the University of East Anglia to discover the effect of dust on historic surfaces, and how we can reduce dust falling in our Palaces. We are grateful to the Leverhulme Trust for funding this research. (www.leverhulme.org.uk).

Pelosi Statement on Federal Court Ruling That Abortion Ban Is Unconstitutional
Washington, D.C.-House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement in response to today's ruling in New York by U.S. District Judge Richard Casey that declares the so-called "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban" unconstitutional:
"Today the District Court confirmed what we have known and have said time and again since this legislation was introduced. The federal ban on abortion procedures is extreme, it violates a woman's right to make private medical decisions, and it endangers women's health.
"When President Bush signed the so-called the ban into law, he became the first President in history to ban a safe and medically-accepted medical procedure. It was a deliberate attack on reproductive health care and a violation of women's privacy and their right to make their own decisions.
"This misguided law puts women's health in serious danger because it fails to contain an exception for what is best for the health of a woman, a principle that was established by the Supreme Court in Carhart v. Stenberg.
"Clearly, President Bush and politicians should not be making medical decisions. A woman, in consultation with her family, her physician, and her faith, is best qualified to make those decisions. Instead of banning medically-safe procedures, the President and Congress should focus on providing a broad range of reproductive options for women, including family planning, contraception, and healthy childbearing."

book is the hot zone
book is the hot zone
From the text:
"The connective tissue in his face is dissolving, and his face appears to hang from underlying bone, as if the face is detaching itself from the skull."
"The connective tissue under the skin had been destroyed by the virus, causing a subtle distortion of the face."
"Ebola attacks connective tissue with particular ferocity; it multiplies in collagen, the chief constituent protein of the tissue that holds the organs together. (The seven Ebola proteins somehow chew up the body's structural proteins.) In this way, collagen in the body turns to mush, and the underlayers of the skin die and liquefy. The skin bubbles up into a sea of tiny white blisters mixed with red spots known as a maculopapular rash. The rash has been likened to tapioca pudding. spontaneous rips appear in the skin, and hemorrhagic blood pours from the rips. The red spots on the skin grow and spread and merge to become huge, spontaneous bruises, and he skin goes soft and pulpy, and can tear off if it is touched with any kind of pressure. You mouth bleeds, and you bleed around your teeth, and you may have hemorrhages from the salivary glands-literally every opening in the body bleeds, no matter how small."

"I hate school" I groan.
"Me too" Rai mutters.
"Oh, will you to just fucking shut up" Ebony shouts. "You only don't like it cause the guys you like have gone on a buisness trip"
Me and Rai turn and glare at her. She shakes her head and we continue walking.
"I'm angry Ryan didn't give us a lift before he went" Ebony says angrily.
"And I can't teleport properly yet" I mutter. We all sigh only slightly out of sink.
Then a car pulls up.
"Get in" Falcon shouts and strangely he's in his angel form. We look at each other then get in quickly. Me and Ebony in the back and Rai in the front.
Falcon dives on to the road.
"Where we going?" I ask leaning forward.
"Out of here..... the group on the radar was more of a threat than we thought"
"Where's Ryan?" I ask starting to panic.
"He'll meet us at the cloaked hotel" Falcon says.
"What about your job?" Rai asks.
"They're sending another clocker down to take my place" he looks at Rai. "Everythings dealt with"
"So, we have to move yet again" Ebony asks. "What about are stuff?"
"Coucil has sent opporatives to transport the house to a new location"
"You have to be kiding me" Ebony says utterly shocked.
"You'll need to be quiet from....... now" Falcon shouts. Then I see it a thin skin in space. We transport straight through it to somewhere different the car skiding slightly.
"Welcome to Australia" Falcon says.
"You've got to be kidding me" Ebont mutters once again and I see the kangaroes outside.
"Wow" I whisper.

Hi All,
I'm signed up to do the Great North Run (half marathon) on 16th September. Due to tendonitis and laziness I haven't been training properly. I can comfortably run about 12K at the moment. My 10K race time is 58mins.
Any advice on how to prepare in such a short period of time for the 1/2 would be much appreciated. I'm intending on eating clean and running 3 times a week at at least 10K each night-is that a sensible approach?
Also, to throw another spanner in the works-I'm going to Vegas the week before the run :-/
Thanks a mil,

BeschreibungAs modern foreign policy and international relations encompass more and more scientific issues, we are moving towards a new type of diplomacy, known as "e;Science Diplomacy"e;. Will this new diplomacy of the 21st century prove to be more effective than past diplomacy for the big issues facing the world, such as climate change, food and water insecurity, diminishing biodiversity, pandemic disease, public health, genomics or environmental collapse, mineral exploitation, health and international scientific endeavours such as those in the space and the Antarctic?Providing a new area of academic focus that has only gathered momentum in the last few years, this book considers these questions by bringing together a distinguished team of international specialists to look at various facets of how diplomacy and science are influenced by each other.The book not only dissects the ways that politics, science and diplomacy have become intertwined, but also highlights how the world's seemingly most intractable problems can be tackled with international collaboration and diplomacy that is rooted in science, and driven by technology. It, therefore, challenges the conventional wisdom concerning the juxtaposition of science and the world of diplomacy.

VA-72 "Blue Hawks" find a ready deck on YORKTOWN!Waring Hills Apr 29, 2009
The VA-72 "Blue Hawks" entered the break today at 800 feet and 250 knots…all received an OK-3 as they arrived onboard YORKTOWN. I had the privilege and pleasure of leading their reunion around the ship, I listened more to their stories, but I did tell a few myself.
VA-72 was the first Skyhawk squadron in the Navy, accepting the first factory to fleet A-4 with the arrival of Bureau Number 139935 in October 1956. Click here for the squadron history and images on the Skyhawk Association pages.
In the above photo are VA-72 pilots (from right to left) Al Carpenter, Ed Moir, Lane Hubbard, John Stevens, Hal Brewer, Terry Thies, D. D. Smith, Ken Craig, Carl Moslener, Bob Hoch, John Bittick, Ron St. Martin and J. P. Lamers. If I mixed up any names and faces, I'm sure the Blue Hawks will email me with the correct pecking order. Click here to see some of these pilots onboard the USS Independence, CVA-62, in 1965.
The pilot on the far right below is Al Carpenter. He was a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam, shot down on 01 November 1966 in Haiphong Harbor. Click here for his story. Al now lives in Virginia and flies his own RV-6…I'd love to build and fly an RV-7 one day…dreams can come true. Thanks Blue Hawks for your service to the nation and to your wives for their sacrifices to the country as well…I salute you!

Just want to say Thank You to you all for your service. I am honored to know Terry Thies personally .He is one excellent man. I have the greatest respect for him
Awesome pictures of some great men from the Navy's best squadron. I was lucky enough to have been assigned to VA-72 from 1988 until we decommissioned in 1991. Did my first med-cruise aboard the IKE CVN-69 and then Desert Shield/Storm on the JFK CV-67.
I was in VA-72 from '61 to '64 3 Meds, Cuban Block, Det on Wasp. Looking for a picture of the Hawk with the Birds Head on the Side.
Was a ground maintenace officer in 72 from July 1990 until the decomissioning in 91, then transfered to VFA-136 where many of the 72 pilots followed.

"Reilly! Stop being a dick!" I scream, flipping the switch for the cleanroom intercom. Language he should understand, even now. Of course, as soon as my "best" operative is conscious he starts acting like an ass, obliterating any shred of emotion his near-death experience had dredged up.
He turns away from Tosh at the sound of my voice, dark eyes still shining with blind rage.
"You got shot and fell out of a building." I don't bother to switch the cleanroom audio on. I can already hear the tirade of expletives ringing in my ears. "Just calm down. We're trying to help. You're at the Sanctum."
I know that will shut him up.
The Sanctum. Bright's cleanroom.
It hits me, a dirty little spark of excitement. I've been saved from drowning by mouth-to-mouth and I'm ready to call it first base.
Hell, with Bright, this is practically going all the way. Just one more set of doors between us. I can see her on the other side of the glass, unnaturally pale, her shaved bald scalp glistening in the cool white light, every inch of her slight frame tensed with annoyance as she steps out from behind the console and walks towards me with slow, measured steps. The urgency of the moment is lost, a casualty of my stunted attention span. For a moment I forget all about the gash in my leg oozing blood and the man in the cleanroom with me. I know better than to drop my guard. That still doesn't stop it from happening.
The bastard seizes the advantage and grabs his knife back from me. Back in the moment, I'm about to whack him good when Bright snaps at me again, calling me off. I swear back, even though I'm sure she's not listening. Dropping the aggressive posture—which I'll admit I couldn't have kept up much longer anyway—I turn my attention back to knife-boy. I take my time sizing him up. His dark skin is coated with nervous sweat, and he's probably still hurting from that kick I gave him. He's shorter than me, and stockier. Good center of gravity; it would be hard to take him down, especially as lightheaded as I am. Best to go for an arm or the neck, let him succumb to pain or a choke-hold. "Who're you?"
I'm the one who's about to drop from blood-loss, and he's the one with the knife, but I swear he looks like he's about to piss himself. I realize a bit of a sadistic grin has come across my face while considering my options. I go with it, and stare at him longer, my amusement growing with his fear.
He has to clear his throat before he responds. "Name's Tosh. I'm—I'm a doctor."
"Bullshit." My leg starts to give out, so I reluctantly surrender the high ground and drop to a crouch. "First of all, doctors are obsolete. Second, you don't know what the hell you're doing."
He gives me a timid half-shrug, and stares plaintively at Bright, probably broadcasting something to her. The silence in my head tells me my 'machines must be down. A hazy recollection of the moments before I blacked out and ended up here starts to come back to me.
"He's a truck driver," she chimes in over the speakers, and I glare at her indignantly. She sighs. "You were dying, Reilly. Best I could do. You've still got a bullet lodged in your leg and it's screwing with your upgrades. That's why you're not healing. So be a good boy and sit your ass down so we can fix you."
I'll give her credit—she knows how to talk to me.

Long-Term Disability Lawyer A. Waxman and Associates Launches New Website
The Toronto-based lawyer firm is thrilled about their new, mobile ready website that provides more user-friendly navigation options and improved appearance.
There are an estimated 1,500 impairment-related crash deaths in Canada each year, and in order to better help these people, a new, more user friendly website was needed. The old website was outdated and needed a proper facelift and a design to match the times. The previous site was also not mobile ready, and this new site is fully mobile responsive for any visitor viewing the site on a smartphone or tablet.
Everyone at A. Waxman and Associates was involved, in some way, in putting together their brand new website, which features a more navigable home screen in order to better serve and assist their many clients. With an estimated 14.6% of the Canadian population suffering from an activity-limiting injury since 2009, they are a busy firm that realizes having a more functional website will benefit their clients.
When visitors first enter the site, they will now see a website that has a fresh, clean look. Visitors will also be able to properly view the site when visiting from a smartphone or tablet, since the new design is mobile responsive, making it more adaptable to a client's mobile screen.
Many law firm websites still have an old, stale look and are not ready for mobile devices. The new A. Waxman and Associates website has all the bells and whistles of a website designed for the technologies that are coming out, and the advancements of the Internet.
The firm has been receiving plenty of positive feedback from customers. The site's ease of use, especially for those visiting the site from mobile devices, is a common praise. With an estimated 299,838 motor vehicle crash related injuries in Canada in 2010, more clients are turning to their mobile devices for immediate help and guidance as soon as an accident occurs.
