This is a fill for a prompt that I will submit to Dragonkink on Livejournal. I hope you enjoy it!
(Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z)
Goku promises Old Kai pictures of naked Chi-Chi, and ends up really getting into it.
"Arch your back a little more. Wait. Let me fix the lighting in here."
"Uhg! I can't believe you talked me into this!" With one free hand, Chi Chi pulls on the pins holding her bun in place. Her long swarthy hair falls down and brushes past her shoulders. She tries as much as possible to cover her bare chest with her other arm. Her face burns from a combination of anger and utter embarrassment.
Goku fumbles with the settings on the tiny digital Capsule Corporation camera.
"But, I promised Old Kai that I'd take these. He helped save the world, too, you know!" he tries to reason.
"I know, Goku, but this is completely humiliating." She huffs as she plops herself on the bed.
"I tried to get Bulma to do it, but her and Vegeta kicked me off of the property before I could even talk her into it. Just relax, Chi Chi, it's just a few pictures."
"Hmph. Fine. But, YOU owe me big time for this." She lays herself unceremoniously flat on the soft linens. Her brows clench towards her nose bridge as she keeps her eyes closed shut. She's fuming. Goku somehow figures out the settings on the camera and breaks his focus on the contraption to look over to Chi Chi. It had only been a few days since he settled in again. He was still getting used to the sight of his undressed wife after being away for seven years. After all this time, she still caught him off guard with her silky skin that he had felt so many times before. Maybe not as much as he wished, thinking back on it now. He sure didn't feel this way about a naked woman before Chi Chi taught him the ropes. His eyes stroll down every twist and turn of her curving figure. He starts to feel a little sweaty under his loose clothes.
"Well? What are you doing just standing there? Let's get this over with!" She snaps.
He comes to after Chi Chi's sharp command.
"Sorry!" he laughs, scratching the back of his scalp. He clears his throat into his fist. "Right. Let's get started. Chi Chi, could you lay on your side?" She shifts her weight to her right. "Arch your back a little more. Wait. Let me fix the lighting in here...Aw, Chi Chi, try not to look too angry"
"Then, how am I supposed to look, Goku!" She asks, annoyed.
"I-uh..." He thinks for a second and tries to think of Chi Chi in more compromising situations. Goku kneels down onto the cushy sheets. He eases her chin down with the tips of his fingers and parts her lips. "There. Just keep it open a little bit. Make that face you do when I do that thing to your-"
"OK, I GET IT," she screams. She takes two deep breaths and calms herself down. She looks straight into Goku's eyes, heavy lidded. Her full lips come apart. "How's this?" she asks, letting the vowels linger through her voice. A bout of silence fills the room as he looks at her, motionless. Chi Chi can sense the tension. She smirks mischievously as soon as she catches wind of the situation before her. "Oh, I get it," she thinks to herself. "What about this?" she asks in an airy voice. She pops her chest towards him and guides her fingers up her side, showcasing her assets.
Goku audibly gulps down a ball of spit that was pooling in his mouth.
He doesn't even notice his hand wandering towards the side of Chi Chi's waist. His hand lingers at the dip of her midriff, slowly kneading her tender skin. He makes circles with his palm, as if tending to a bruise. She picks up his other hand, sliding it across her clavicles and making him clutch her bust. She sighs into his touch. He wanders to the sides of her ribs, molding his thumbs through each ripple, tingling her senses.
A name bleeds like thick molasses through her parted lips. "Goku..."
In an instant, he drops the camera, and plunges to the bottom of her neck with his mouth, grabbing hold of the space that met her shoulder. Griping her hip, he starts to draw his hand down her thigh, lifting it at the bend of her knee. The twirls on her skin flutters through her nerves. She grabs hold of his shoulders. "I don't believe you," she tries to comment with a bit of malice. But, she's enjoying this too much to even be mad. Chi Chi drops her back onto the bed. He drags his teeth down to her neck, indulging in her creamy chest. Goku brings her legs apart, and runs his hand between her thighs. Her voice escapes through her throat. Now, she's peeved.
"Just take your damn clothes off"
Goku barely hesitates to pull his shirt over his head. And, off goes his pants right after. He pounces back on top of her holding on to the underside of her thigh. With one long lick up her sternum, he buries himself languidly into her, smirking into her aggressive expression. He knows that face. He'd seen it a hundred times before. With one hard push, she feels her hair tug as the back of her head digs into the bed. They capture each others' lips in messy kisses. Goku hides his face into the side of her throat, his strokes hastening in fluid rolls. She squeezes her legs around him, huffing into the air. A gush of warmth gathers between them, smoldering beneath their skin.
"Ha-higher. Reach higher."
He somehow translates her dazed babble. Goku gets up on his knees pulling her thighs with him. Her long hair tangles under, crackling in her ears, as she's hauled towards him in a quick jerk. Spurring quicker, her hoisted bottom falters between his hands. She mewls and melts, and digs her nails into the wrinkled sheets. Through gritting teeth she braces herself through her own pounding frenzy. Chi Chi spills into a blissful verve. Goku wavers over her, breaking his limit. He squeezes his hands into her curves as he stops breathing for that clattering moment. A tizzy of chills run rampant down their frames.
He finally lets go and plops himself over her, groaning into her shoulder. Chi Chi puffs away on her own breath, their hearts racing against each other.
"What...are we...going to do about those pictures now?" she questions him, barely able to complete the whole sentence.
He raises his head to peer over at the camera near the edge of the bed. He snatches the little machine and chucks it violently at the wall, splinting it into dozens of pieces. Chi Chi yelps at his surprisingly explosive behavior.
"What the hell did you do that for? You broke a perfectly good camera!"
He smiles and simply laughs. Goku gently wipes away the hair stuck to her face.
"Chi Chi, forget I even mentioned it"

Polish-born fund manager Katarzyna Woja, 32, who for the past five years worked at Invesco investment bank in Finsbury Square, died on Wednesday after becoming trapped as she tried to get out of the lift at the Broadgate Club.
Today as neighbours paid tribute to the "beautiful, funny woman", her distraught husband Nebojsa Dorontic was struggling to come to terms with the loss of his wife of nearly five years, friends said.
Serbian-born Mr Dorontic, a 32-year-old recruitment consultant, is said to be "drained and absolutely distraught" at what had happened to his wife. She is believed to have been trapped by closing lift doors and then crushed as the elevator dropped half a floor, wedging her between it and the shaft.
A friend of the couple, who spoke to Mr Dorontic last night, said: "Nebojsa is absolutely distraught and has not yet come to terms with it. He has got his family with him comforting him, but I don't think it has hit him yet. It will probably sink in later, but for now he is as well as can be expected."
He is understood to be consulting lawyers about possible legal action over the death of his wife, who was believed to earn at least £500,000 a year.
The couple, who met through work in the City and married in London, have no children and have lived in a two-bedroom flat in a block on Hornsey Lane, Highgate, for nearly six years.
Today neighbours there spoke of the woman they knew as "Kasha".
David Batchelor, 42, said: "I am devastated. Kasha was a stunning, lovely girl with a warm heart and kind spirit. She would often have barbecues on the lawn at the back of our block, and invite us round to sample her Polish cooking.
"She had many friends, some of them from work, and was always organising social events. I last saw her last week when she stopped and asked me how I was.
"She always seemed so happy, and she and Nebojsa were such a close, loving couple.
"Their flat is beautiful, with stunning wooden floors, and I would look after it whenever they went back to Eastern Europe for a holiday. Although she is from Poland and he is originally from Serbia, they seemed happy to be in London. You couldn't ask for better neighbours." Another neighbour said: "Kasha had a wicked sense of humour, really dry and funny, but she was also very warm-hearted. I believe she came from Warsaw but they both seemed very happy here and I think they wanted to stay in London.
"She had a great fondness for chocolate, and was often talking about a new chocolate shop she had found which made specially good chocolate. But she was also quite into fitness, and had a smashing figure."
Ms Woja had been a high-flying stock market analyst with Invesco, the global fund management group specialising in pensions and ISAs. Her first job in London had been with Austrian-based giant RZB Bank. A colleague who worked there with her for six years said today: "She was bubbly and bright. She started as a pharmaceutical analyst and she had a real grasp of her subject. News of her death is horrendous."
She moved to Invesco five years ago where she worked as an analyst and portfolio manager, selecting the companies and funds where she would place the money entrusted to Invesco by pension funds.
Colleagues at the investment bank said she was a popular and successful-businesswoman who was well known to all who worked there.
An email was circulated to staff yesterday morning telling them of Ms Woja's death, leaving many staff in tears.
One said: "There has been a very sombre atmosphere in the office - she was very successful in the company and everyone who knew her liked her. That was the kind of person she was."
Secretary Maria Nicolaidou, 52, said: "She was a really lovely girl, I am still in shock. No one can believe what has happened."
An inquest into Ms Woja's death will be opened today.

*** Due to a little mix-up with the scoring, Jose originally didn't have his Game Changer Multiplier taken into account. That has been rectified!***
Jesus Christ that's a whole lot of numbers, and a pain in the ass to type out. I shall definitely look into rejigging that format for next week lol. So ok then, there's the standing for the first week! I'm delighted with how I've done so far, which is far better than I thought. Although I may well have fallen behind already in the time it's taken to sort this out haha. There are plenty of people over 10,000 already which is awesome, and for those still on zero: GET IN THE GAME GUYS!
Now it's very important to take note that these scores were counted up by a few different people at different times over the last 24/48 hours so your score may not be quite fully up to date any more. If you still think your score is incredibly wrong, don't hesitate to ask and I can check it out for you! Mistakes can happen, especially when it comes to this amount of numbers so keep calm, if there's a mistake it will be fixed Don't worry about the final standings being up to date at the end of the Tournament as we'll be waiting until Saturday to start counting to ensure everyone is finished and synced!
Now I am completely worn out after this so I'll end there. Onwards to week 2!
Stay tuned for a Platinum update during the week

Obviously, you didn't buy your 3.0CS unless you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one vehicle. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. Anyone who drives a BMW knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. You purchased your 3.0CS because its sporty handling and German engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
What were once luxury items on select cars have now become standard equipment for every car sold in the US. One of these items is the BMW 3.0CS tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). If you have ever seen a light on your instrument panel that looks like an exclamation mark inside of a flat tire, it is one of your tire pressure monitoring sensors letting you know that pressure in one or more tires is low. After filling up the tire the light should shut off; if not, then you will have to replace your BMW 3.0CS TPMS sensors.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate BMW 3.0CS part for your needs. Buying new BMW parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 3.0CS parts on the internet.

text: Residents of Millers Point, Sydney, speak out about plans to evict almost 400 public housing residents from valuable properties in the harbourside suburb. The New South Wales government plans to sell the homes, citing maintenance costs. But residents of the famously feisty suburb say they will fight tooth and nail to preserve their tight-knit community – lest other inner-city public housing residents be next in the government's sights

Well...I can guaranteed I won't spend a dime at the LA Clipper's home stadium cause I'm on the East Coast. lol
He is a nobody. Why is everyone stressing over it? Do you know how many racist people of all skin colors exist? He is another one that should not be paid any mind.
On one hand, I don't think his team should be taken from him. I think in a capitalist society, the consumer has the option to punish him or give him some kind of reprieve if they're truly disgusted.
But on the other hand, sport franchises are a different animal. If a hardware store owner was caught saying something like this, he'd likely feel the wrath in the way of loss of profit. However, Sports franchises have a hold on people's hearts rather than their logic. People are still going to pour money into this man's franchise.
I saw an ironic fan sign from a clippers fan at one of the games that said "I brought a black person to the game" (and his friend had a sign that said "Black Guy"). While that may bother Sterling, he's still getting that person's money.
So I wouldn't mind if the NBA took the necessary measures to remove him from his position, since ultimately they have to deal with the PR perspective of it all.
I just listened to the audio of this, and I am somewhat confused. He says over and over that he has no negative feelings towards minorities, but doesn't want his wife/GF to have pictures with black people so he doesnt have to deal with his friends annoying him about it (I guess they are racists?)? Is that what the story is here? Obviously some of what he said about his GF not being able to take pictures with black people is racist and wrong and just straight out stupid, but is that all that this whole story is about? Or is there more? I mean, he is with a black / latina girl. I feel like it was bad what he said, but NOTHING compared to what Riley Cooper has said. I didnt hear any N bombs or extremely rasict talk. He said he didnt want Magic Johnson to go to Clippers games? Every time the GF brought up skin color he argues with her about its not about that. He said it several times.
Eh, whatever. I think it is slightly overblown compared to other stuff that has gone on. I understand people being very upset with it though. And since he is an owner of a sports franchise, everything is magnified. It would be kind of hard for "his" players to play for him now right?
Spin that Webb young Davis
I think Sharick is really trying to avoid the issue of actually talking about the comments because that can easily devolve and turn into a debate of what is racist and what is not, and then further devolve into a racist witch-hunt, etc.
So I'll leave it at this. This is not the first documented evidence of Sterling's feelings toward minorities. And I think that's why this is gaining even more traction.
One of these teams is not like the others

Please wait for 3 seconds, we are loading Star Trek Beyond stream.

Genre: Adventure, Action, Science Fiction
Chris Pine
Zachary Quinto
Karl Urban
Justin Lin
Duration: 120 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Jul 07, 2016
IMDb: 5.2
"Fast and Furious" director Justin Lin never lets the momentum slacken in "Star Trek Beyond" despite the formulaic Simon Pegg & Doug Jung screenplay that delivers a lot of the right stuff during its warp-drive running time of two hours and two minutes.
A multitude of melodramatic moments with surprises and suspense galore ensue as Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise triumph over tragedy. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, and the late Anton Yelchin must have had fun making the 13th "Star Trek" saga because they work so well together that it doesn't matter what they're doing. Basically, the "Beyond" in the title refers to the uncharted territory that our indestructible heroes and heroine must negotiate before they can vanquish a megalomaniacal villain and preserve the status quo. Mind you, I didn't fear that Kirk, Spock, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Scotty, and Chekov would die and that their wicked adversaries would perish. What I liked about "Star Trek Beyond" was the way everybody in the crew contributed to the ultimate success of their mission. None of the main cast were neglected or given the short shrift. One character has been altered. Aside from generating controversy on the Internet about Mr. Sulu's sexual proclivities, the rest of the Enterprise crew remains essentially the same, and you care as much about them as what occurs around them. Similarly, the giddy action unfolding in "Star Trek Beyond" was sufficient to race your pulse, whiten your knuckles, and get caught up in this spectacular epic. Cinematographer Stephen F. Windon, production designer Tom Sanders and make-up designer Joel Harlow all deserve kudos for their outstanding work. Two settings?the Nebula and the Yorktown space colony?looked sensational by any science fiction movie's standards. As villains rate, the reptile-faced Krall provides more than enough obstacles with which Kirk and his crew must contend, and Krall's unhinged plan to wreak havoc is sufficiently audacious. Nevertheless, Krall isn't half as memorable as Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan in director J.J. Abrams' superior sequel "Star Trek Into Darkness."
Three years into the Enterprise's five year mission, Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine of "Unstoppable") complains that "things have started to feel a little episodic." When an action-oriented character utters these words, they should cross themselves immediately and hold their tongues. No sooner has the Enterprise docked at the remarkable new star base christened Yorktown to gather provisions than Kirk winds up eating those fateful words. Three important events occur before chaos assails the Enterprise. First, Spock and Uhura break up. Second, Mr. Sulu comes out as gay. Third, Kirk submits an application for promotion to Vice Admiral, and he recommends Mr. Spock replace him as the Enterprise's captain. Complications take place when an escape pod lands at Yorktown. Its alien passenger, Kalara (Lydia Wilson of "About Time"), reports that her ship has crashed on the distant planet Altamid in the Nebula. The Nebula resembles a vast, impenetrable field of asteroids that constitutes a titanic barrier between Yorktown and Altamid. Commodore Paris (Oscar-nominated actress Shohreh Aghdashloo of "House of Sand and Fog") accommodates Kalara and mounts a distress mission to rescue Kalara's stranded crew. Kirk takes the helm and the Enterprise plunges into the Nebula, with Kalara--looking like she has a starfish wrapped around her head for a wig--aboard to show them the way. Predictably, Kalara turns into one treacherous dame as our heroes discover soon after a massive swarm of alien spacecraft reminiscent of those Earth faced in "Independence Day: Resurgence" attack them with deadly repercussions. Surprisingly enough, Krall and his legions cripple the Enterprise in record time. The doomed starship topples from space, and the crew find themselves separated after the crash. Scotty encounters a resourceful Amazon named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella of "Kingsman: The Secret Service") who knows a thing or two about survival. Boutella's face is made up to resemble a Kabuki mask and her appearance evoked memories of Darth Maul in the "Star Wars" prequels. Jaylah has been hiding out on Altamid, and her chief adversary is Krall. She teams up with Scotty, Kirk, and Bones, while the rest of the crew wind up in Krall's hands. Krall wants an artifact stashed aboard the Enterprise so he can perpetuate an apocalypse. He has no qualms about who he has to liquidate if he isn't given that artifact. Uhura watches in horror as Krall murders a helpless Enterprise crew member who poses no threat to him.
Once Krall has thrown down the gauntlet, Kirk and company must pull off the impossible to thwart their fanatic adversary. In many ways, "Star Trek Beyond" reminded me of a traditional Cavalry versus Indians western. Our heroes arrive at a frontier fort, embark on a rescue mission, find themselves isolated during a journey of hardship, and encounter a do-or-die opponent whose primary goal is to destroy the fort with everybody inside it. "Star Trek Beyond" boots Kirk and company out of their comfort zone, forcing them to abandon ship, and then compels them to overhaul an older starship considerably inferior to the Enterprise, when they aren't raiding Krall's camp to liberate their fellow crew members. Naturally, Kirk must confront Krall in a death-defying face-off while the welfare of civilization teeters on the brink. Happily, director Justin Lin and his scenarists provide enough humor to sweeten all this mayhem and the eccentricities of the characters allow audiences a chance to chuckle at their foibles. Of course, Spock and Bones grate on each other's nerves. This installment of the venerable Paramount Pictures franchise marks the 50th anniversary of all things "Star Trek." Visionary producer Gene Roddenberry launched the "Star Trek" television series 50 years ago, and this captivating franchise has generated 13 films and six TV series, sold over 100 million books, comics, and magazines. If you're a hardcore "Star Trek" fan, you'll probably relish this roller-coaster of a ride.

Chapter ElevenMature
Gwen Churchmen
There I was, sitting by some cargo that came in a few hours ago, reading a letter I received from my brother and enjoying my moment of peace before afternoon patrol duty. A week – or maybe more. Time was beginning to meld into one large blur – had passed since our assault on the two Korean bases close to the river. I remember counting the dead, collecting dog tags and not sleeping the night that followed. I also remembered the way Nick looked. I've always noticed how grave the captain became after each death the squad was afflicted with, his change of behavior was not surprising. Confusing for Judd and I, yes, but not surprising.
I've lost people before the war. Uncles, aunts, a cousin, and grandparents on both sides, and the difference was that I lost them to sickness and old age, never to a bullet. When I think about how each of them passed away, I never felt the way I did when I actually stared down at the dead soldiers. Eyes hollow, mouth agape, and the sick smell of death – that's how it was. Nick got the full impact of it I suppose, being our leader. And when the captain began to be less like the way he was, it was though a whirlwind had swept through the squad, leaving everyone confused and disoriented. But I realized it was something that came out of war. It changed people in ways I couldn't even comprehend.
Judd was affected by it; Nick was affected by it. Even I was affected by it. War was a terrible, cruel thing.
When I finished reading the letter, I folded it neatly and tucked the paper into my front pocket. That's when I noticed the troops running past me, to Sully's tent. They were all crowded around the opening, talking loudly amongst themselves and watching whatever was happening. When Adams, a private with blonde hair and a round face, passed me, I grabbed her. "What's going on?" I said.
"Jeez, Gwen, can't you hear it? Judd's going berserk on the captain!" Adams yelled, her volume unneeded and snooty as always.
"What? You're kidding, right?"
"No, Gwen. I mean, come on, we're all going crazy if you haven't noticed. I mean, expect you. You're just...uh, you." she said. Adams shrugged my hand off and trotted to the little crowd, me following her quickly.
During enlistment and training, I remembered the drill sergeant reminding the recruits over and over again to watch our teammates' backs. That, when in a squad, we need to keep our eyes open for hostiles going for friendlies and comrades alike. But what he failed to mention was what to do when we started fighting amongst ourselves. I mean, seriously, what the hell?
Pushing through the crowd, with Abrams shouting in the background to move so she could watch, I finally came face to face with the situation. Yes, I decided to dub it as such. The situation.
Judd was standing before Sully, looking nothing like the guard dog I often saw. Instead I saw a bull. Overpowering in his demanding stature, and ready to charge the man holding the red flag, even if he should have been waving a white one.
There was one rule I learned about being apart of Nick's squad soon after joining (aside from the one about not getting shot): Stay out of Judd's way. And, honestly, that went out without saying.
"A leader is supposed to lead, not let his soldiers do whatever the hell they want!" The lieutenant had yelled a second after I stepped forward. Judd's anger boiled under the tension in the tent; it was so visible and vibrant that I felt like a little girl in the presence of her father again. Bloody hell, Judd was usually so damned reserved.
Whether Captain Sullivan was going to actually try and fight Judd was beyond me. "You don't understand." was all he said. What was there to understand? That the lieutenant was crazy? It was
Judd took a step forward. He was ready to charge and I began to panic. He wasn't going to hurt the captain, was he? Crap.
God, I was actually frightened of the man.
He took another step. "Oh, yes I do. I understand just fine! You're a spineless coward who can't even –" I did the first thing that came to mind. Stop Judd before he managed to harm the captain, I stood before him, my hands on both heavy, muscular shoulders, and my knee rose sharply.
I had terrible aim. Or maybe wonderful aim. Not sure.
My, partly unintentional, crotch-shot at Judd left him stumbling backwards and falling to the ground. He got up just as fast though. Good, it meant I didn't kick him hard enough. That would've been...bad.
He looked at me, a little more pissed than he was seconds ago. I thought he was going to tackle me, scream, punch or anything that bordered on full-out violence. I was the first to react. "Leave him alone!" I screeched, loud enough to surprise even myself. "Get out of here!"
A few swear words were practically ready to spill out of my mouth right then and there. I clenched my fists, ready for whatever he was about to do. I wasn't even able to process what exactly I had just done, though, not until Judd scowled and looked back at Nick. "Now that's how a leader should behave." He said, "If you want to continue being a little girl, I suggest you hand over your leadership to someone else." Judd marched out of the tent, nearly limping and in pain. The soldiers watching paved a silent pass for him, but he didn't acknowledge them. Jesus, did I hit him that hard?
The sickening shame sunk in then; the repercussions of my actions dawning on me as Judd walked away. The other men stood surprised and speechless, but I wouldn't hold it to them for very long. A few snickers would follow later, I imagined, and there would be a few directed at me. I had just kneed the lieutenant in the groin, so why wouldn't there be? Causing physical harm to someone who out ranked me was a little – how to put this lightly – oh yes, "unusual" for me.
Physical harm, Gwendolyn. Please. Kneeing a man in the crotch wasn't physical harm. It was bloody ridiculous, that's what it was.
"Damn, Churchmen. Just...wow." Adams had said. Better late than never. She, and the others, were staring at me. I stared back, unimpressed and flustered. My face felt hot. "Aren't you supposed to be on patrol duty in an hour, Jennifer?" I spat at the blonde woman. "Now that I think of it, aren't you all supposed to be doing something other than standing around?"
They looked amongst each other as though the captain was speaking to them. "Bugger off!" I barked and they scattered.
I shook my head as each and every soldier disappeared. I felt light-heated and impatient, as though I wanted to punch something. Preferably Judd. Or myself for what I had just done.
"You're snarky when you're angry."
I turned around and glanced down at Sully. He was still on the ground and made no effort to move. He looked relaxed too, or just a little more calm since Judd walked away. Still....
I shrugged once I realized he had said something. "Here," I muttered, reaching out to offer him a hand. He gripped my forearm and pulled himself up. Letting go of my arm, he ran his hands down the front of his pants, patting away the dirt of his fall.
"You didn't need to intervene, Gwen, but thank nonetheless." He said, sounding annoyingly content with what just occurred.
I only half-believed him. "Right."
He frowned, his captain persona slowly coming into place, if only briefly. "Like I said: snarky."
I became frigid at his words. It was one thing to hurt a man who out ranked me, but another thing to start getting lippy with my superior. "Sorry, sir," I muttered sheepishly, "Get it from my father."
"Then you don't get angry very often."
"I've always been, uh, tempered, sir." And compared to Judd, I might've been a mouse. "What was that about, Captain?"
He sent a look my way, as though I had asked the most obvious thing he had ever heard. "I think you know," he said, "Weren't you apart of the audience?"
"I was reading a letter when the whole thing started, so no sir." Although, I had a guess. Nick's change of behavior was new and unfamiliar for the squad, but Judd's reaction was a shocker nonetheless. I expected him to stay at bay when it came to his anger, and never to actually go after someone who's on his side. Especially the captain.
"It's obvious, Gwen. He thinks there should be someone else in charge and I can't blame him.
"But this is Judd we're talking about, he's always been –" Sully holds up a hand to stop me. My mouth clamped shut.
"Doesn't matter. We've already lost McGuire and Ramirez and so many others. Another soldier questioning my leadership would lead to more deaths, maybe his own." He pauses. "Perhaps..."
"Perhaps you shouldn't be the captain?" I crossed my arms, and looked start at Sully and he stared back at me. I had no doubt that I looked like my father right then and there; I certainly sounded like him. "Is that what you meant, sir? That you shouldn't be captain?"
Whether he was actually going to say such a thing or not was unimportant. It was clear that the captain was questioning himself. Men and women die because of war, I knew that and expected it, but with our numbers dropping over the past few days, everything seemed unsure and bleak. Our future – whatever it may be – was not bright on our side. And yet, I did not expect Nick Sullivan of all people to begin asking himself whether he was capable of leading his men. Since enlistment, I knew that I was marching into a fog of death with no direction of my own expect the orders handed to me. I wondered if all the rest realized that death was almost certain now. Perhaps Sully realized this and felt...unfit to be the one leading us into the fighting, and straight into the embrace of the Grim Reaper.
"Gwen, I didn't say that. I didn't say anything at all."
"Then what is it, sir?" I said, pressing on despite my doubting thoughts. "I may never lead my own squad, but I understand that the position you're in is...difficult. But frankly, sir, I think you're more than capable of being a leader – A captain."
He smiled, small and bittersweet but it was better than seeing him slumped on the ground, about to be attack by a subordinate. Not that Judd would agree, I'm sure.
"You're pep-talk really isn't mandatory, but thank you, Churchmen."
I saluted, out of habit and rank. "Glad to be of service, Captain," I said, dropping my hand to my sides again, "I'll be going then. My therapist-skills have been used to their fullest and I have patrol duty with Adams in an hour." He almost laughed at that.
Turning away to leave, I had one last thing to say. "And, Captain, all I said was completely off the record, right?"
He nodded, grinning. "Yes, yes, completely off the record. And also off the record, Gwen, don't knee your lieutenant in the groin. It's a very bad idea, even if it's Judd."
I rolled my eyes, but only before exiting the tent. I took his advice to heart.

The museum itself is a wonderful experience but the staff need a major seminar in polite manners! Photos are not allowed when worldwide most museums allow it and entrance is charged when again most national museums worldwide are free! Backminded decision makers here!
It was a nice change from all the archeological sites. The city model with videos about the important buldings is really interesting for a first time visitor. The furniture donations give it the feel of a small, modest palace. It is a really nice museum to visit on a vold, It windy day.
I heard many of my friends talk about the museum I never expected it to be like this
What a beautiful and well designed piece of heritage

This Museum presents the modern history of Athens. Your tour will also include many other facets of Athenian history, culture and life. Several collections reflect the different aspects of the city offered by the Museum.
URGENT: the museum is nowhere near where it shown to be on TripAdvisor's Google map. The problem is with very similar street names. The museum is at 7 Ioannou Paparrigopoulou, between the Plateia Klathmonos (square) and that National History Museum. Closest metro stop is Panepistimio.

This museum is probably the only museum in Greece where you can still see the insides of a palace! It contains several objects relating to the everyday life of the King and the Queen. The famous huge painting is somehow unreal!
The museum is small and limited but is definitely worth an hours visit.
The huge painting by Jaques Carrey was made 13 years (1674) before the huge explosion in 1674 which did terrible damage on the top of the Acropolis. This painting over 5 m long is probably the closest one will get to visualizing the original area. Strongly suggested...
a small very psecialized "museum".just a collection in a city that has vry many realunique museums. Interesting building.
The Museum was good, but unfortunately the day that we went it was very busy with school children so we were not able to really enjoy it as much as we would have liked to. I would definitely like to visit this museum again so that I can get to explore it more and appreciate it better with much less...
The name of this small and a bit grubby museum is entirely misleading: it gives nothing away of what is here. It's certainly not a museum of the city's history.
So what is it? I'm still mystified and I'm quite a history buff. It's a pair of town houses, one filled (vaguely) with items related to King Otto of Greece....

Why is the Coalition expected to borrow more than the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast in June 2010? Labour would argue it is because George Osborne's austerity drive knocked the stuffing out of the economy. All that talk of deep cuts prompted fearful households and businesses to stop spending and has undermined tax revenues. George Osborne would, however, pin the blame on the confidence-draining eurozone crisis. He would also argue that Labour's less ambitious deficit reduction plan would have resulted in a run on British government debt, putting us in the same boat as Greece and Italy.
So who is right? Many will find Labour's argument more compelling given that the British economy was showing alarming signs of weakness long before the eurozone crisis reached boiling point this year. But the only way to prove this beyond doubt would be to go back in time, implement Labour's March budget and watch what happens to borrowing levels. Without that, Mr Osborne will be able to argue that it would have been still worse under Labour.Reuse content

Understanding Different Types of Lung Cancer
posted on
Lung cancer can be classified into two types and is diagnosed based on your symptoms and a comprehensive lung cancer screening. Understanding what type of lung cancer you have can make it easier to manage your symptoms and get the right type of treatment. Both types of lung cancer grow and spread very rapidly and in different ways, and each one has its own set of unique characteristics.
If you are experiencing the symptoms of lung cancer or there is a history of lung cancer in the family, set up a screening with your family physician as soon as possible. Your physician can determine what type of lung cancer you have and recommend a treatment to manage its effects.
Small Cell Lung Cancers (SCLC)
Approximately 20 percent of lung cancers are small cell lung cancers. SCLC are linked to cigarette smoking and can spread very quickly to several different sites within the body. Some doctors refer to SCLC as oat cell carcinomas because of the size of the cell type. The three different types of small cell lung cancer include:
- Small cell carcinoma (also called oat cell cancer)
- Mixed small cell/large cell carcinoma
- Combined small cell carcinoma
This type of lung cancer is very rare in people who have never smoked and is considered to be the most aggressive type of lung cancer. People with SCLC typically experience breathing problems in the center of their chest, weight loss, shortness of breath and a loss of appetite. Over time, they may also experience hoarseness, have difficulty swallowing, facial swelling and frequent fevers.
Small cell lung cancers can be detected by several tests including chest x-rays, liver function tests, MRIs, bone scans and PET scans.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers (NSCLC)
Non-small cell lung cancers spread much more slowly than small cell lung cancers and are the most common type of lung cancer. The three different forms of NSCLC are:
- Adenocarcionmas
- Squamos cell carcinomas
- Large cell carcinomas
Non-small cell lung cancers can also be caused by smoking but many people develop this type of lung cancer when they have been exposed to asbestos, certain types of paints, and products that contain chloride and formaldehyde. Some of the common symptoms of non-small cell lung cancers are a cough that doesn't go away, wheezing, loss of appetite, fatigue and weight loss. Many people with NSCLC also experience joint pain, weakness, bone pain, hoarseness and severe should pain.
This type of cancer can be detected with chest x-rays, a CT scan, bone scnas, MRIs and PET scans. Some physicians prefer to do a biopsy to examine some lung tissue under a microscope. The physician can then determine how big the tumor is and which of the five stages the cancer is in.
If you think you may have SCLC or NSCLC, schedule a lung cancer screening with your physician as soon as possible. Your doctor will be able to complete a thorough exam and ensure determine how far the cancer has spread within the body.

|Re: [Result] [Vote] Java 5 as minimum JDK requirement
|Tue, 15 Aug 2006 20:18:35 GMT
Jorg Heymans skrev: ... > I'ld say we stop argueing about this and use our time more > constructively to experiment with the retroweaver. I hear it has an ant > task, integrating it into our build process should be a breeze then. This seem like a reasonable proposal to me. ============ To summarize how I understand the situation: Joerg's main reason for the veto against using Java 5 in Cocoon 2.2 is that we would risk "losing some of our user base". Now if experiments with retroweaver/retrotranslator show that we can use Java 1.5 _and_ produce libraries that work in a Java 1.4 environment, the above problem should be resolved and Joerg should be able to retract his veto. Right Joerg? In such a case (i.e. if Joerg retract his veto) we would not need a new vote for starting to use Java 5. Now, AFAIU retroweaver/retrotranslator have some (small) limitations, so we probably would need a new proposal that says that we use the subset of Java 5 supported by retroweaver/retrotranslator. (Here is a link about how retrotranslator is used in Stripes http://stripes.mc4j.org/confluence/display/stripes/Java+1.4+and+Stripes.) ============ Now something about vetoing: According to http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#management "The rules require that a negative vote includes an alternative proposal or a detailed explanation of the reasons for the negative vote. The community then tries to gather consensus on an alternative proposal that resolves the issue. In the great majority of cases, the concerns leading to the negative vote can be addressed. This process is called "consensus gathering" and we consider it a very important indication of a healthy community." To me it seem to put a lot of emphasis on reaching a consensus. Right now we have a veto that most of the community don't agree with. That is far away from consensus and is IMO _not_ an acceptable situation from a community health POV. This means that we have to continue to work until we find a solution that we can get a consensus around. /Daniel

Smart ForTwo Cabriolet Unveiled Through Photos
The Smart ForTwo may not be within the level of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or other models of the brand for that matter, but it seems to be joining the cabrio craze this month. This September, the compact car division of Daimler will be unveiling its Smart ForTwo Cabriolet. The top-down smart car will make its debut alongside the more grand, heavily-hyped Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet. Then its sale will commence in February next year. According to the press release of the company, the upcoming Smart ForTwo Cabriolet measures 2.69 meters long, 1.66 meters wide, and 1.55 meters high. The figures truly make the car an ideal ride when it comes to big cities plagued… Continue Reading »

Structural aspects of chemisorption at Cu(110) revealed at the atomic level
- Cite this article as:
- Carley, A., Davies, P., Jones, R. et al. Topics in Catalysis (2000) 11: 229. doi:10.1023/A:1027210806104
We illustrate the impact that scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has made on our understanding of chemisorption and catalysis at metal surfaces at the atomic level by considering four examples where information from surface sensitive techniques was also available. The advantages of STM and the limitations of some of the other experimental methods are discussed. (1) Through a combination of STM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) we have established that a number of distinct oxygen chemisorbed states can exist at a Cu(110) surface. These are metastable and temperature dependent. Furthermore, the presence of chemisorbed sulphur is shown to promote a specific oxygen state – isolated oxygen strings – which are likely to be more chemically reactive than the oxygen overlayer present at Cu(110). In this sense the sulphur is a structural promoter. (2) The oxidation of ammonia under ammonia-rich conditions results in the growth of imide (NH) strings at a Cu(110) surface and this has been followed quantitatively by STM. The reactive surface oxygen state participates in an oxydehydrogenation reaction generating NH-radical species which undergo surface diffusion and result in string growth. (3) Nitric oxide dissociates at Cu(110) to generate a two-phase system of chemisorbed nitrogen and oxygen adatoms. The oxygen is present in a well ordered (2 × 1) structure and the nitrogen in a (3 × 2) structure. The limitations of an earlier LEED study are discussed. (4) Structural aspects of chemisorbed sulphur generated by the dissociative chemisorption of hydrogen sulphide and methyl mercaptan are discussed. In the latter case carbon–sulphur bond cleavage results in the formation of a sulphide overlayer at 450 K with complete removal of carbon as desorbed hydrocarbons. Various sulphur structures have been delineated over a wide temperature range.

Gold: How Einhorn, Paulson and Other 'Smart Money' Play it
They're gold diggers of the new millennium, sifting for fortune amid soaring prices for the yellow metal.
But today's gutsy investors are panning for gold in very different ways.
Just as California's Gold Rush in the 19th century drew miners to the West with different strategies on how to profit, some of today's most notable investors are pursuing distinct tactics to wager on a rise in gold. Some are scooping up exchange-traded funds and mining companies. Others are betting on futures and derivatives markets. Still others are storing vast amounts of gold in secret warehouses in the U.S. or in foreign countries.
Some of the investors making the biggest bets on bullion are well worth watching. John Paulson and David Einhorn were early predictors of the subprime-mortgage and financial meltdown of 2007 and 2008. Thomas Kaplan and John Burbank were wagering on mining shares several years ago, when their rivals snickered.
Gold prices have been climbing amid worries about leading currencies and future inflation. Other factors include a growing number of ETFs and other investment vehicles that offer plays on the commodity. It's also getting harder to tap new ore veins, limiting supply.
The four investors featured here don't always agree, nor do they always get it right. But here are some of the strategies they're pursuing…

Oscars 2010: Will the Academy follow the money?
Those who are betting real cash on the Oscars have determined that Crazy Heart's Jeff Bridges is a lock for best actor, so much so that most online bookies will require you to risk $US6 to win just $US1.
But if there is an upset in that category, it will come from George Clooney for his portrayal of a frequent flyer in Up In The Air. Gamblers can get much better odds on him - as much as 13-1.
Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker is the long shot at about 28-1.
Gambling on the Oscars has become a tradition for some.
While checking in with folks who are putting up real money is a sound strategy for those seeking help with their office Oscar pools, it is not foolproof.
After all, five years ago The Aviator was odds-on favourite for 2004's best picture among Oscar gamblers, but Million Dollar Baby took the statuette on the night.
This year's best picture pick among gamblers is The Hurt Locker, but Avatar is so close among the odds-makers that it is probably more accurate to call it a tie.
The same cannot be said for best director, where The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow is favoured over Avatar's James Cameron by a bigger margin - comparatively speaking.
One site has Cameron at 3-1, while you would have to wager $US5 to win $US1 on Bigelow.
Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side is favoured over Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia, though it is almost as close as the race for best picture.
Judging from where the money is flowing, the biggest surprises Monday AEDT would be if Avatar did not win for best visual effects or if Christoph Waltz did not win a best supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of a twisted Nazi in Inglourious Basterds. One online site requires a $US40 bet on Waltz to win $US1.
Both writing categories are also tight.
In adapted screenplay Up In The Air is favoured over Precious, while in best original screenplay it is Basterds over Hurt Locker.
A couple of websites will also let you bet on which movie will earn the most Oscars.
Avatar edges out Hurt Locker, and you can get 4-1 odds if it is a tie.

Research-Based Publications That Foster Educator Expertise
Kelly Harmon
More than 20 years ago, Kelly Harmon, MAEd, began teaching. Her first class was composed of at-risk learners. That began a lifelong passion for increasing all student achievement with a very special focus on those students most at risk. Her two decades of experience and passion have led her from teaching to leadership roles to her position at Learning Sciences, where she makes a difference in students' lives every day by supporting teacher effectiveness. She earned her master's degree at University of Texas, San Antonio.
Interviews by Kelly Harmon
Q&A with Kelly Harmon on
Practicing Skills, Strategies & Processes
Kelly Harmon has a passion for coaching teachers, especially those who work with at-risk students. With more than 20 years of experience in education, Harmon develops classroom-tested tools and strategies that help teachers evaluate where each student is in the learning process and how best to address their needs. Practicing Skills, Strategies & Processes, her latest book, gives educators an invaluable close-at-hand teaching guide. In this interview, Harmon discusses tips to boost procedural and declarative knowledge, why modeling is so crucial, and what constitutes "perfect practice."
Your book deals mainly with procedural knowledge, but you write that teachers must keep in mind the relationship between procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge. Why is the relationship important?
You write that practice must follow a certain set of steps in order to be effective. Why?
It's important to follow steps because there is a progression of learning. We can't expect students to simply pick up what we're trying to teach. We have to provide guided practice at first. And we have to do that because we don't want the students to practice incorrectly because it can become permanent. It's difficult to undo that.
What is modeling, and why is it important for effective practice?
There are two types of modeling. There's modeling by the teacher, which is simply demonstration of the steps in a lesson. It's "Let me show how this works." This is important because kids can't read minds. Then there are models that the students create. They create a model of what it is they are doing. The idea is that you have procedural fluency but you have procedural flexibility, as well. There's more than one way to solve a problem. It's vital that the students learn to think in a variety of ways.
You wrote that the phrase "practice makes perfect" is incorrect; only "perfect practice makes perfect." Would you expound on that?
As teachers, we have to set up situations where students can have perfect practice, which includes practicing in a way that will be successful. The teachers are choosing the right material and the right problem to practice the mental procedure. And it can't be too complex for where the student is. You have to know the student well and start where they can understand.
What is the biggest mistake teachers make when providing opportunities for students to practice learned material?
Giving practice that is too difficult and sending it as homework. Then the parents try to teach them in a way that the parents learned, which may not be correct. If the student doesn't have the declarative steps―the how-to―and you ask them to practice without coaching, the child can easily become frustrated and quit. It takes a lot of practice to become proficient at something. It's important that we give kids ample time to really get it. Often, we get them to 50% and then we move on to something else. That's not really learning.
What is the most efficient practice technique to help students acquire new procedural knowledge?
Guided practice and close monitoring and coaching. Coaching is stepping in when needed. It's prompting without doing the thinking for them. You have to be there at first to make sure they're on the right track. If that part is missing, everything else will fall apart.
