Faith-Close callMature
"That's better you should be ok now, Tabitha." Me, Amelia and Tabitha were in the shower blocks. I gave Tabitha some jeans and a t-shirt that Terry had given me for her to wear. Feeling grubby again I changed my clothes; I picked the black button up dress liking how I showed my long legs off.
"Th-thank you Faith and I'm sorry. Sorry to both of you." Tabitha said in a small voice. I looked at Amelia then back at Tabitha. Then I understood what she meant.
"Hey, its ok don't worry about that now. Your ok." I reassured her.
"Yer Terry was just messing with your head." Amelia added smiling at her.
"Come on lets get something to eat." I told them as we made our way outside. "You two go ahead, I just need a breather." They call back 'okay's' and 'we're save you something'.
Trying to remember things was still hard; my head was still hurting a little from before. What could be in that notebook? How do I get it back? Terry must have it locked away from where. But where?
Everyone was mostly asleep. Delia eyes were closed but I wasn't sure if she was asleep or not. Did she sleep now? I didn't want to disturber her anyway; she looked settled lying next to Darrius sleeping form. I couldn't sleep not matter how many times I closed my eyes, they refused to sleep.
"Right that's it." I whispered to myself as I got up feeling frustrated and annoyed. I stomped over to Terry door not bothering to knock it first before going in.
"Where is it Terry?" I nearly shouted as I closed the door, the others didn't need to hear this and I didn't want anyone jumping him before I got some answers.
"Haven't a clue what you're on about person number four." Terry sweetly told me still sitting behind his desk.
"The name is Faith!" Slamming my hands on his desk glaring at him. "Remember that." I said through gritted teeth.
He sighed running his hand through his hair. "Well well, another one who needs to be taught a lesson in obedient. You were told to forget that."
"I was taught not to tell lies and I don't believe a word that you say." I wasn't sure at the time how I could remember that, but that didn't matter right now.
"Where is it Terry, I know that you've got it so give it to me."
"What might that be Faith? Hum can you remember that?" He raised his eyebrows saying my name.
"My notebook Terry. The one that you took the day that you brought me here."
"Notebook?" He questioned but still wearing that knowing smile.
"Don't bullshite me Terry; I know that you've got it." He raised an eyebrow sighing.
"Interesting talent you have Faith."
"Comes in handy especially with you." Trying to put venom into my words to hind how terrified I really was.
I started walking backwards then stopping when I hit his desk. Terry smiles walking towards the desk, when he reaches it he lifts me up so I'm sitting on it and he moves my legs pushing my back on the desk.
"You're never getting that notebook Faith." He lent down and I could feel his breath against the hollow of my neck.
"I. will. Get. My. Notebook. Terry." I told him through gritted teeth. Terry hissed then his hand went up my bare leg stopping at my thigh. "We're see."
"Um. Terry?" A voice called in the distance stopping Terry for a moment.
"I won't be long person number three; I just want to make sure Faith stays in line and doesn't cross me again." Terry doesn't look at Ryan as he speaks. Instead he was kissing my neck, and then grazing my skin with his teeth, licking the blood. "Don't test me Faith." He whispers.

This is the best quality olive leaf product I have used, with the fastest and best results for killing colds, viruses, and candida. It is also wildcrafted, without toxic pesticides and chemicals. It has the highest standardized extract that I have seen- 18% Oleuropein- which is what gives olive leaf its powerful anti-fungal/bacterial/viral properties. Well worth its cost for me. I will always keep a bottle around for immune protection and disease prevention.

Tornado victim family reacts one week later
Injured mother, newborn baby doing fine
BELHAVEN - Ten minutes before the Van Essendelft's home was destroyed by an E-F 2 tornado, the family was home schooling in the living room. That's when the thunder and rain started. Five minutes after the tornado had passed, there wasn't a living room, or anything else, left.
The family of 9 is staying in a riverside home temporarily until they can clean up their old property that's littered with debris from the tornado. They welcomed baby Andrew into their family Saturday April 12.
All of them sat on a couch Thursday night and recounted what they remember about the brief moments before their house was uprooted, literally.
"The twins are having a little trouble sleeping," Mark Essendelft said. Mark is husband to Carla Van Essendelft and father to the six boys and one girl that make up his family. "But on the whole it's been really encouraging how they're handling it all."
Mark had just gotten off of the phone with his neighbor, Monday April 7, when he went outside to check on his barn. He heard the wind whipping up, went back outside, and saw the tornado minutes away from his home.
As fast as he could, Mark warned his neighbor of the danger and ran into his home, and told his family to make for the ditch.
His whole family was in the bathroom, trying to take cover in the tub.
All of them ran outside for the ditch. Hannah, ran deeper into the home. Her mother thinks Hannah wanted to get her shoes. Then nine-month-pregnant Carla grabbed Hannah, and ran for the ditch herself. She didn't make it.
"I was halfway and I started feeling the pressure and the air and the noise and everything," Carla said. "I was only about 20 feet from the house corner, and I was about 50 or 60 feet from the ditch. I knew I couldn't make it. I hunkered down on top of my daughter and I just started praying, 'lord save us, lord save us.'"
As Mark ran from the home holding one of their two two-year-old twin boys, he looked over his shoulder to see the tornado ripping his barn to pieces.
"When I got into the ditch, I was on top of Judah," Mark said. "When I looked up at the pecan tree, when I heard the tornado coming closer, when the wind hit the pecan tree, it just peeled the branches off."
Meanwhile, Carla and Hannah were both laying in the field.
"A tree fell next to me," Carla said. "Something smacked me in the back and the tree rolled over on me. I kind of tumbled with it. I was a little kid in the ocean waves... All of the sudden the tree was gone, I was laying pretty much where I started. My daughter was right beside me."
"I remember seeing our van tumbling," 9-year-old Josiah said. "I hunkered down because I didn't know what could happen if the van was flung through the air."
"I was hanging on to two little stubs of trees, and one of them got sucked up," said another young son, Daniel. "I thought I was going to be sucked up too because I felt the air pulling me."
Carla said the tree was then picked up and thrown through the air by the tornado. Mike didn't know Carla hadn't made it to the ditch.
"He didn't realize it and I'm glad he didn't because he would've potentially came back out after us and potentially gotten really hurt," Carla said.
Carla sustained minor injuries: bruises, cuts and muscle strains according to her doctors. She was taken to the doctor. At the time she was worried for her unborn baby's health.
"I felt the baby kick, and I was like 'Thank you lord,'" Carla said. "Then I knew the baby would be O.K., even if I went into labor, that it was fine."
The Van Essendelfts said the aftermath of the tornado was a bit surreal. The whole tornado seemed to last less than a minute. They're thankful for all of the help they received from firefighters, neighbors and doctors. The family is borrowing a car and home until they get permanent arrangements.

Another day, another Justin Bieber peeing video — but this is the peeing video that we've been waiting on. Watch it right here.
After his arrest on Jan. 23, Justin Bieber had to underwent a urinalysis test, and the Miami jailhouse cameras caught it all. On March 4, a video came out of Justin walking into the cell, peeing in a cup and a police officer walking out with the cup in hand. But on March 5, the video we've been waiting for came out — showing a box over Justin's private parts!
Justin, 20, still has a little bit of his privacy left. After being arrested for DUI, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest on Jan. 23, Justin spent ten hours in a Miami jail, and it was all caught on camera.
Click here to see Justin peeing!
In the newest video, posted by TMZ, Justin is seen walking into the jail cell, dropping his pants and peeing in a cup — well, we assume there's a cup there but can't see because of the huge black box covering his penis.
Police told TMZ that the video took extra time (apparently, a month and a half) because they were having a hard time insetting the black box because Justin's penis was moving around too much. We're a little confused by that because the box doesn't seem to move, at all, but regardless — the video is out!
This is one of many videos to surface of Justin in jail — in one he's walking the line to test his sobriety, one he's doing push ups in the cell, and one he's seen from behind peeing in the cup.
Of course, this is the one he's most exposed in. HollywoodLifers, do you think it's is inappropriate that the video was released by the court? Let us know!

Lindsay: What She Knows
Noise. So much noise. Thuds and screams and shouts and bangs and crashes tumbled through the air and invaded Lindsay's ears. The noises were fighting with each other, trying to prove that one was louder and better than the others. A low, recurring thud resounded through the house and a scream retaliated with a high pitch and long duration. The voices of many men shouting came from the other side of the door. Lindsay wished she could block the sounds but her hands over her ears did little to stop the noises from penetrating into her mind.
A hand comes from above and another voice. The hand is soft but urgent and the voice is trying hard to remain calm. The voice is telling Lindsay to get up, get up. Run, you must run quickly. Come now Lindsay, you have to get away.
But Lindsay can't (or doesn't want to) move. She was happy here. Mom and Dad were so nice and they made her feel safe. Why were there bad men pounding on their door? What had any one of them done to call down such a life-changing interruption?
Lindsay knew that if she ran she would be running from everything that was good and safe. She would be running into the unknown. All Lindsay wanted was to stay with what she knew...
Lindsay knew that she was eleven. Something bad was happening. Mom and Dad were scared. She knew...
Lindsay startled awake. Soft rustles alerted her to the fact that her jumpy awakening had woken the woodland creatures that slept nearby. Scowling, Lindsay brushed leaves and pine needles out of her short, dark hair. There was a soft frost that blanketed the forest floor and Lindsay was grateful for the heavy blanket she had nicked from the cabin. The cabin had been abandoned but after a long internal debate, Lindsay had decided it was safer not to camp inside it. You never knew who was going to turn up in the middle of the night...
Lindsay reached up to her eyes and wiped away the tears that had escaped while she was dreaming. It had been ten years since the men in uniform had attacked her home and turned her into a fugitive. They had killed her parents and forced Lindsay to run... constantly. Lindsay didn't know exactly why they came but she suspected it had something to do with her and her affinity for silver.
Lindsay reached under her blanket to find her bag. She stuck her hand deep into one of its pockets, fingers searching for any spare change. She smiled when her hand encountered a small handful of dimes and quarters. She scooped them up into her palm and sat quietly. Coins were never the best option, but they were easy to get and if you had enough, they provided Lindsay with enough energy to get her through a couple of days.
The coins lay still in her hand. Lindsay closed her eyes and began to concentrate. She could feel the trace amounts of silver in the change tingle in response. From where the coins touched her skin, bits and flecks of silver melted out of the coins and dissolved into her skin, right into her bloodstream. She smiled. There was always a sort of high Lindsay got whenever she extracted the silver. Silver always provided more nourishment than any super-food Lindsay had been able to find. Lindsay did not know why, she just knew it was so.
Lindsay tossed the coins back into her bag and glanced around the forest. She would travel back to the cabin and search for any silver there. She placed her head into her hands and thought back to her dream, which hadn't been a dream at all, but a memory of the worst night of her life.
She would find the men responsible for her situation and she would make them suffer. After all, there are higher prices to pay than gold or silver.

Part 2.Mature
John woke.The sheets around him were drenched in sweat, clinging to his skin, suffocating him.
He peeled them away, gasping for air. Hyperventilating from the previous night's dream.Stumbling into the bathroom he quickly tore open his bag and rummaged for his meds. After for what seemed an age, he had the familiar tube in his grasp. Twisting his way through the child lock resulted in a comforting pop. He downed the meds, and some painkillers for good measure. He finally managed to bring himself to open his eyes and look at himself in the mirror. As his headache subsided, the mirror image was slowly flickering as the pills took effect.
This had been the same ritual for the past 7 years. The same morning spent woken not knowing where he was, surrounded by darkness and guilt. And always, the bed sheets soaked in fear-inspired sweat. John knew that his illness was killing him. And it was only a matter of time too. He looked at himself again, closely examining his weathered face. He looked like a corpse walking.
'You look like shit.' He said quietly to himself.
Great, he thought. Now I'm talking to myself.
After a brief shower and other hygiene practices to make himself feel slightly more 'normal', John looked around the motel room for the first time really. Last night he was too stressed and tired and he had crashed out on the bed after throwing his bag in the bathroom, so he hadn't inspected the room much.
It was your typical motel room, like those that one would see in movies. It wasn't crap, which made John worry how much he'd spent on it. The wallpaper was a dull cream colour, peeling in places. And there was a singular framed picture on the wall.
It was a photo of Katie, Bobby, and Roseanne.
John let out a deep sigh, and put the picture on the ground, facing the wall.
It seemed his mind was always turning everything against him, even in his calmest moments. He was his own enemy, from which he could not escape. Forced to gobble down his banquet of pills every day just to keep mostly level-headed.
He gathered up his bags, looked once more around the room, then walked out, leaving his nightmares behind.
The road map stared blankly up at John, and he back at it. His destination was further than he had first anticipated. His eyes gazed down the desert road into the horizon. The sand about him was flowing with the wind, brushing up against his grubby jeans.
He leant against the red pick-up that had been his only companion for the trip so far. Apart from the disgruntled receptionist at the motel, he'd had no real human contact at all. It was times like these that he'd wished he had never cut himself off from society. Since the accident, he had alienated his friends, his family. All that he had left himself with was his sister Marie, who had been the only one he was willing to see.He could barely remember these early stages, and he guessed that he had been very difficult for all involved. He didn't care. These lapses of memory helped ease the pain. Why feel bad about an old friend when you can barely remember their name, let alone their face?
For the next few miles, John just had to go straight on this road (not that there were many turns) then he assumed that the day would be done.
He looked across the desert one more time, into the horizon. He felt a slight pain in his head as a singular white car puttered past, leaving behind a dark deathly smog.
John coughed as he opened the red door.
John had been stuck behind the white car for hours on end. Black clouds billowed out of the exhaust pipe, and wrapped around the truck. Frustration was beginning to boil up inside of him, a feeling that he rarely experienced. He'd tried countless times to overtake the car, but somehow he was still stuck behind it. He was beginning to wonder if the car was just another figment of his imagination, his mind tormenting him. It seemed real enough, with the choking smell coming out the car's back end.
His torture was soon to end though. At some time around midnight (John assumed so) There was a small
gas station and rest stop to the side of the road, into which the white car had also pulled into.
The road map indicated that this was as good a place as any for a long while, so John pulled the pickup into the corner of a well-sized parking area.
Inside the gas station, tiredness was just setting in while John picked out his dinner; two chocolate bars and 1 bag of corn chips. He was stumbling over to the counter to pay, when he sighted the man with the white car, standing out in the lot, by himself, puffing on a rolly cigarette.
Something came over him.
John charged through the gas station doors and began a brisk pace toward the man, who was blissfully ignorant of his approach.
It was only until the last moment.
The final thing that John remembered, was the horror in the stranger's eyes, and the blood that spurted from his smashed nose.

Yeah. What's so weird about that. Also the fields of cotton candy and chili dogs. I have that dream ALL the time.

The organizers of the 28th Izumo Ekiden have released the starting order for Monday's six stage, 45.1 km race. Below are the top runners on each stage from the field of twenty university teams and their best times for distances close to what they will be racing. Click here for JRN's detailed preview. Complete starting lists are available here in Japanese. Follow @JRNLive for live coverage throughout the race beginning at 1:00 p.m. Japan time.
Last year's course record-setting winner Aoyama Gakuin University is back as the favorite, but it's due for a serious challenge from last year's runner-up Yamanashi Gakuin University and the ascendant Tokai University. Going by PB YGU runners lead AGU's on all but the Fifth Stage. Both schools' anchors return, but last year YGU's Dominic Nyairo was a minute faster than AGU's Tadashi Isshiki over the 10.2 km Sixth Stage. YGU may build up a lead over the first four stages and lose some ground on the Fifth Stage, or it may just stay with AGU until the last leg. Either way, Nyairo, sub-28 for 10000 m on the track since last year, is bound to run away with it unless AGU can build a big lead over a strong competitor. Tokai is just as strong, leading AGU on its runners' PBs for the first five stages and YGU on four of the first five, meaning that the young team could bring a more complicated dynamic to the action if its three starting first-years can handle the pressure on the first three stages of the race. In any case, AGU and Tokai have to find a way to deal with Nyairo to have a chance of winning.
Last year's 3rd, 4th and 6th-placers Komazawa University, Toyo University and Waseda University, the last three Izumo winners before AGU, aren't far behind but lack the complete arsenal to last the whole way if the three favorites are fully functional. Waseda in particular should be near the front over the first two stages before dropping back, its leading runner Kazuma Taira the fastest on the stage by 5000 m best at 13:38.64 and second-fastest for 10000 m. Komazawa and Toyo are both missing one of their best men due to injuries, but while they may make up some ground on the Third Stage, where Toyo will run 2015 national university 5000 m champ Hazuma Hattori and Komazawa its fastest 10000 m runner Naoki Kudo, overall they aren't likely to stay in the front-end action.
The Ivy League Select Team's Will Geoghegan is the fastest man in the entire field over 5000 m with a 13:17.85 best, but rather than putting him on one of the first two stages where he could keep the team in the action during the early going, head coach Jack Fultz has opted to put him on the 6.4 km Fifth Stage. Typically the weakest stage in the race, Geoghegan's 5000 m best is over 35 seconds faster than the Fifth Stage's next-best man, Waseda's Makoto Mitsunobu. The Ivy League may just pull off the second individual stage win in its 19-year history at Izumo. Let's hope they're still far enough up in the field to make the TV broadcast if it happens.

O'Connor Retirement Sparks NOW March
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The president of the National Organization for Women declared a "state of emergency" for women's rights and planned a march on the state Capitol as news of Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement reverberated through the group's annual convention.
NOW president Kim Gandy told about 800 NOW members Friday that women need to send a message that they won't tolerate "extremist" judges who set back women's rights.
"This is our time. This is our challenge," Gandy said as the crowd replied by clapping and chanting, "Hell no, we won't go" and "We won't go back."
"We were effective in the 70s, and we're effective now," Dempsey said. "But there has been a backlash. Most young women don't know about NOW these days."
Oh, you're going to tolerate it. You're political clout ISN'T what it was in the 70's. The time of a Judicial Tyranny are coming to an end.

May 14, 2011 at 12:52 pm #1273809
This probably isn't anything new to most of you, but I guess it just dawned on me, that with my kit so small and light now, I could easily use just about any old day pack or rucksack, for a couple of night trip, if I didn't need to haul too much water.
I know the weight thing means it's an extra pound or pound and a half and I'm just sort of kicking it around, but there are a lot of really cool rucksacks and daypacks on the market still and I've always liked the looks and toughness of them. You can toss them on the ground and don't have to worry about the fabric or net mesh ripping. I remember back in the early eighties, when I bough a Jansport Super Sack, so I could haul my skies in a pinch (the original ones were pretty well made). I always liked that pack and wished back then, that I could fit all my camping gear in one. Well, today, I could, but they quit making them and mine are all long gone.
I stumbled upon some old school rucksacks last night, researching packs. http://www.nextag.com/rucksacks/shop-html. I can't seem to find it now, but there was even on with sheep skin shoulder straps :).
I even packed up my old Camelback Mule with all my stuff and still had a little room for food. It just blows my mind how small and light gear has become. Most people wouldn't even know you were backpacking, these days.May 14, 2011 at 1:48 pm #1736576

Yeah, Eric, it's hard to beat that deal. The only thing, is no side pockets. A guy could strap his skis/poles there though. I always liked the ski slot, behind the pocket, like on the original Jansport Super Sack. I think Kelty has something like that now, with detachable side pockets, but it looks a little fiddly.May 14, 2011 at 3:36 pm #1736608

I really like my Jandd Mountaineering Tozi Kletter it is 37 liters it weighs 27.2 oz and and made of 500d cordura and is bomb proof sells for $78.95.The pack most comfortable shoulder pads around that can be replaced by the user.
The Jandd packs are older designs made across the mexican border in Otay mesa by expert pack makers made to last. Jandd also makes side pockets, water bottle holders and other mid size pack designs that are panel loaders. My brother really likes his Mogen 35 liter panel loader. Jandd also has great sales twice a year for past customers

Thanks for all the tips everyone.
Terry, that's funny, I've seen Jandd stuff around, but never really checked them out. The Mogan Daypack looks like a copy of the original Jansport super sack, ski slots and all. The Tozi Kletter looks pretty cool too. Thanks for the heads up.

Eleanor and Park is my absolute favourite novel.It made me happy and sad and excited. I loved it so much. It was so different from a lot of the other YA novels out there. A must read. I demand a movie!!
I did enjoy this book, but I was a bit surprised by how young the characters were. I'd only every read one quote from it and I spoiled myself as little as possible before buying, but I think the risk paid off. One of the things that makes the book feel so real, other than the wonderful handling of Eleanor's awful situation, is the fact that the characters are fully realized, instead of feeling hollow. Their flaws make them believable. I also loved the surprise setting of the 90's, my favourite era.

Why Sexual Violence And Rape Culture Will Only End If We Get Boys On Board With Feminism
When photos of Jada, the 16-year-old American girl allegedly raped at a house party, went viral and sparked the hashtag #JadaPose, thousands of online supporters flocked to her aid in a bid to stop rape culture once and for all.
Their voices join thousands of others calling for the urgent need to address sexual violence against women and end victim blaming.
But while rallies and viral campaign can be effective, many believe that one of the only ways to stamp out such behaviour is to teach boys and young men feminist principles about consent and respect for women.
After all, equality can't be achieved with just 52% of the population.
A few weeks ago shadow home-secretary, Yvette Cooper, suggested that boys should be taught about feminism in schools.
"Our children and teenagers need sex and relationship education that recognises the realities and helps them build the resilience to cope in an internet age. That means teaching them to respect themselves and each other and the importance of equality in relationships," she wrote in the Independent.
"And yes, that means boys as well as girls. Men as well as women. No teenage boy should grow up persuaded that abuse is normal, or feeling forced to behave in particular ways to prove their masculinity."
Claire Smith*, the Head of English in a school in Hackney, echoes this sentiment.
"We need to teach boys about what it means to be a young man in modern society, which includes the concepts of consent, equality and feminism," she said. "And we need to teach girls too."
But it's going to be a tough battle.
Whether down the pub or in popular culture, sexual assault is often trivialised. If you need proof, just look at the success of Robin Thicke's "rapey" 2013 single Blurred Lines.
While many criticised the song's lyrics for normalising sexual violence – "you're a good girl, I know you want it" – that didn't stop it becoming the UK's most downloaded track of all time, selling more than 1.54 million copies.
This widespread lack of understanding about what constitutes appropriate sexual boundaries (especially with younger generations) is a big problem, says Laura Bates, feminist campaigner and founder of Everyday Sexism Project.
"There is a persistent idea that a rapist is a stranger in a dark alleyway, so if you force your girlfriend to have sex with you, it's 'not really rape', because you're her boyfriend – or if a girl is passed out drunk at a party, that's 'not really rape' because she shouldn't have drunk so much," she says.
And with a recent YouGov survey from End Violence Against Women Coalition revealing that nearly one in three of girls aged 16-18 reporting unwanted sexual touching at school, this lack of knowledge is clearly influencing male behaviour.
"I think very few sixth form boys would be aware that grabbing a girl's breasts, for example, is a form of sexual assault," adds Laura.
But lack of knowledge isn't the only issue here. As was witnessed with #JadaPose, using humour to trivialise sexual violence is common practice.
"When I do outwork reach work in schools, I hear phrases like 'rape is a compliment really' and 'it's not rape if she enjoys it' – rape is seen as something to joke about and that is unacceptable," says Laura.
Last week, this 'rape humour' became evident when sports website, not606.com, came under fire for hosting a 'rape gallery' in its chat forum. The gallery, in which people were asked to write about what they would do to the women featured, led to a complaint to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
The BBFC – which now plays a part in classifying content which can be accessed from mobile devices – said: "We took the view that, while the 'rape gallery' might have been intended to be funny, many would not find it so and, moreover, that it posed a non-trivial harm risk by presenting women as rape targets."
Of course, this behaviour isn't going to go away overnight, warns Claire.
She believes that everyone – including those at school, at home, and in the community – has a responsibility to teach young men about respect and appropriateness.
"Young men are exposed to all sorts of influences from an early age, just as young women are. They start to form notions of identity, appearance and power relations long before they reach my classroom," she says.
Chi Onwurah, Labour MP for Newcastle Central and shadow cabinet office minister believes that we should also address gender stereotypes and gulf between boys and girls.
"We should be teaching boys and girls that their gender should not define their identity, their occupation or their favourite colour. We need to challenge the stereotype that boys should not be nurturing or caring. And of course against violence against women."
For years there have been discussions about empowering women and young girls, by teaching them about their right to say no. But if we are to make any progress, the time has now come include boys in the fight for equality.
"For too long many men feel they have been left out of the conversation around feminism," says Stephen Hull, editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post UK, "and as a result the movement has often been unfairly seen as 'man-hating'. If we want to build better blokes it's time to include everyone in the discussion."

| Guest chapter 1 . 12/26/2014
Why don't you write the entire dialogue in Japanese -_- seriously, i think it's a cute story but the way the characters speak makes them sound like otakus... it's ok to insert some Japanese expression, i guess, like "oro" "koishii" "busu" but I thought replacing "but" with "demo" is going too far. IMHO

Here are the most interesting Miami Dolphins stories Wednesday from around the web:
Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel reports that the Dolphins are preparing to play without starting linebacker Dannell Ellerbe.
Morning take: Ellerbe thinks he can play, but he's missed two practices already with a shoulder injury. Backup Jason Trusnik is working with the first team in the event Ellerbe cannot play.
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports the Dolphins could be looking to add another offensive lineman.
Morning take: The Dolphins have an open roster spot after releasing defensive lineman Marvin Austin on Tuesday. Adding an offensive tackle or guard makes sense.
Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post writes that tight end Charles Clay's production does not surprise Dolphins coaches.
Morning take: Many expected a major drop-off after the season-ending injury to tight end Dustin Keller. But Clay has done a good job of getting open and finishing plays.
Via the team's website, Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace says he's ready for AFC East play.
Morning take: The Dolphins are the last AFC East team to play a division game. It is important for Miami to begin divisional play on the right foot.

Am highly disapointed with reply about billing.This is short version- Recently bundled wireless and internet. Been with them since 1996, never late on payment. Upgraded phone and got new contract because of this. They messed up my bill last month, ageeded I only owed 47.95 after overcharging prior. I paid, now they're saying that was incorrect, and now have a 441.00 bill to pay this month. If they would listen to recorded conversation, they would agree with me. Now am looking for a new provider.
I'm sorry that you've had billing issues. I'd like to help you get this straightened out so you don't have to worry about it anymore!

text: I have some more information. I tested ffado as before but with my MOTU Traveler. It worked fine, which suggests to me that whatever the problem it's triggered with the Fireface driver. I was able to run jackd/ffado with the FF800 and, by hitting Ctrl-C early, exit before the kernel crashed. After doing so memory usage did seem a little high: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 6227572 213764 6013808 0 1648 154780 -/+ buffers/cache: 57336 6170236 Swap: 12594924 0 12594924 Compared to the total of VSZ reported by "ps auxw" (less than 150000 kB) the value of 213000 kB is larger than I expected. But perhaps we're not comparing like with like. Nothing in /proc/slabinfo looked suspicious so it's hard to say that there's a clear memory leak at work. The resulting log was consistent with what I reported earlier. Audio streaming started up just fine, with the CTR discrepancies coming in some time afterwards. I have to leave it there for now (possibly until another day). I plan to do an audit on how much data the RME driver transfers into the packet buffer in the iso callback. If it overran the buffer passed to it perhaps that could cause troubles elsewhere (in libraw1394 or in other places). Such a bug may also explain the seemingly random nature of it. For reference, so far today (with the exception of the Ctrl-C run reported above) I've had the kernel freeze every time I've started the FF800. Two days ago it started fine every time. Regards jonathan

Wildcats 97
Breakers 72
A worrying trend continued last night for the Breakers as they were thumped by the table-topping Perth Wildcats.
The 25-point defeat left the defending champions teetering at 6-11 and left their task to make the playoffs growing more difficult by the game.
It was the Breakers' second-worst loss of the campaign and continued the troubling pattern of inconsistency that has plagued the Kiwi club in their quest for a fourth straight title.
Five of their six wins this season have been followed by setbacks, meaning any good work has been immediately undone and potential winning streaks have been cut short before they even began.
Incredibly, considering the way the season has gone, the champs' playoff hopes are still very much alive, but they will need to eradicate the inconsistency and string together a few victories to complete what would be a remarkable result.
The Breakers have at least finished a four-game road swing, which brought two wins and two losses, and will now enjoy a couple of games at home. But, with 11 games left, their prospects of prolonging their title defence appear slimmer by the day.
Tonight's thrashing made gave Perth a perfect record from four games against their rivals and advanced the Wildcats to 15-3 on the season. The Breakers were never in the game at Perth Arena, as the home side steadily built their lead from the opening tip.
Gary Wilkinson continued his recent glut of points by grabbing a team-high 21, while Kerron Johnson had 12 and Mika Vukona added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Perth were in front from the get go and jumped out to a nine-point lead midway through the first, shooting four of five from beyond the arc to seize the early initiative.
The Wildcats added to their fast start with a 12-3 run that dug a deeper hole for the Breakers and left them heading into the first break 13 points in arrears.
Hanging tough to begin the second, the defending champions were being hamstrung by a lopsided foul count, with the visitors hearing the whistles blow for fouls three times as often as the home side.
But the Breakers could hardly complain as they headed to halftime trailing by 20, with Perth earning their lead through impressive shooting numbers. Their 54 per cent from the floor included seven of 11 from deep - compared to the Breakers' three from 12 - and saw the game all but sown up.
The third quarter of what remained a blow-out was at least enlivened by a bit of push-and-shove between Mika Vukona and James Ennis, but the Breakers remained short of fight in other departments.
With the gap standing at 18 heading into the fourth, the Breakers never threatened to make their way back into the contest and the final result continued the clubs' contrasting fortunes.
Wildcats 97 (Redhage 24, Beal 19, Ennis 15)
Breakers 82 (Wilkinson 21, Johnson 12, Vukona 10)

Disclaimer: Ok, so unless Subway decides to dramatically up their wages, I so don't own CSI.
Summary: Grissom comes to a few realizations. G/S
A/N: Ummm… apologies for the way this kind of rambles incoherently… and for the weird corny bits… and the OOC-ness… and for anything else I've forgotten…
Contrary to popular belief, Gil Grissom did not fall in love with Sara Sidle the first time that they met. In fact, it wasn't until halfway through the second lecture he had given that he even took any real notice of her at all. And it wasn't until the two weeks of seminars he was teaching at Berkeley were almost over that he noticed that, somewhere in the middle of the countless coffees and dinners they had shared, she had stopped looking at him with innocent respect and was instead gazing at him with complete adoration.
All through her time working for him in Vegas, he was still not in love with her. He cared for her, certainly, in a way that he well knew he shouldn't, but he wasn't in love. And when she looked at him with those big brown eyes it really did hurt him to turn her down. But he was still able to do it, because he didn't love her.
When he finally agreed to go out with her, Nick's abduction, Heather's downfall, his mother's constant nagging, the seeming emptiness of his own life, (and always, those soft, dark eyes), finally wearing him down till he thought 'Ah, fuck it.' and turned up at her apartment at the end of shift, he still wasn't in love with her.
In fact, the realisation of love didn't hit him until several months into their relationship, when she had ended a phone call by saying "love you" and he had replied without thinking. He was so sure of himself around her, to the point of being arrogant; he was always the one holding all the cards, he who was the dominating force, the more detached, rational one. It was he who had agreed to let her into his life, he who was doing her the favour by being involved.
All of a sudden he realised it was not her who called ten times a day just to hear his voice, who knew his sandwich orders at the local deli off-by-heart, who always just assumed he would be there when she got home, and refused to spend the night without him beside her, even if they didn't have sex.
No, that was all on him.
For the first time in his life, Gil Grissom was completely and utterly terrified.
So when she had shown up half an hour later with take-away Chinese and a chaste kiss pressed to his lips, and begun to make herself at home on his couch, just like every other night, he informed her that he felt they should take some time apart and practically threw her out of his townhouse, tears streaking down her pale cheeks. He had reached his arm out to her shoulder in a gesture of comfort and she had hit him. She had actually hit him. He stood there in a state of utter shock as she flew down his front stairs, and the most horrible feeling settled in the pit of his stomach and the middle of his heart, that he couldn't figure out and couldn't begin to shake.
He couldn't shake it they next day either, or the day after that when she didn't show up to work. And it intensified a thousand times over when she had arrived at work the day after that, her eyes equal parts distraught and cold, and had brushed past him on her way out of the break room, and he thought he might pass out at how terrible he felt.
It was also in those few days that he came to the realisation that he couldn't comfortably survive longer than a few hours without touching her. Not in a sexual way either, although he was also desperately longing for the feel of her body under his, her breath warm on his skin. He simply couldn't go without touching her; laying his hand on her arm, resting his head in her lap, wrapping his arm around her waist when they were alone at the lab, laying his hands on her perfect shoulders when they were working a scene. It was like he was dying of some obscure disease and her soft, healing skin was the only remedy.
It got to the point that he reached out to her in the middle of processing a murder case in the desert, laying his hand on her hip for a few seconds before she whipped her head to face him, furious and confused and hating him but pleading with him at the same time. He stumbled through some sort of apology without any real explanation and for the first time since he was a child his eyes disobeyed him and stung with tears as she walked away.
It was in that state that Catherine found him hours later in his office, and it was the first time ever in their long friendship that she didn't have to press him for anything.
"How do you fix something when you've deliberately fucked it up so badly, Cath?"
She had knelt down beside him and, also for the first time in their friendship, had dropped all pretences of being the strong, know-it-all, independent one, resting her hand on his and saying "You go to her and beg like hell, Gil. "
So he turned up at her apartment and scared the shit out of the old lady next door by knocking for twenty minutes straight until Sara finally relented and opened the door a fraction, leaving the chain attached. "You planning on waking my entire building?" she rested her head against the doorway, arms crossed around her waist in a protective gesture that caused a lump to form in his throat.
True to character, he hadn't though of anything to say past getting her to open the door. "Sara…" his voice trailed of on a sigh, that same tone he had used to melt her knees for fifteen years, and she hated herself because deep down she already knew she was going to let him in. "What do you want, Grissom?"
He stretched his hand out to rest on her cheek, passing his thumb across her skin. "Sara, honey, please…I… I'm so sorry, baby, please…"
She sighed in defeat and hung her head and he swore to himself that he would never make her settle for anything again for the rest of her life.
She swung the door open and he wrapped his arms around her waist before she could move back inside, burying his face in the crook of her neck, body pressed tightly against hers.
"You are so not getting out of this easily, Grissom."
"I know, I know, god, I'll do anything, I know…"
She sighed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, fingers in his hair, rocking him slightly from side to side as he pressed kisses along her jaw and cheek.
Later that night he had a trashy-romance-novel-style epiphany as pushed slowly inside of her (despite her repeated threats that he'd be sleeping on the couch for weeks), and for the first time in his life actually understood what the word completion meant. He came thanking every deity he could think of for whatever he had done to be deserving of Sara.
"I love you." he whispered, lying sprawled on top of her, trying to get every inch of his skin touching hers. She could hardly breathe under the soft, warm weight of him, but she slid her arms around his shoulders and drew him closer anyway, making a sound that was half laugh and half sigh, the movement travelling through her body to his. "Babe," she whispered softly, "I've been waiting for you to realise that for years."

I may come from across the Atlantic, but I love reading UK magazines. No-one does magazines like the UK. There are lots that I read, but if I had to choose one I'd probably go for Heat. Some of the stuff in there is so funny, and it keeps me in touch with my UK fans. How much do I like it? Well, put it this way, I have copies in my home in Los Angeles, so that all my US friends can read it too!
I love Heat magazine. Listen, at the end of the day, we all know half of it is exaggerated, and other bits might be speculation and rumour, but we still love a bit of celebrity gossip. Is there really any magazine better than Heat when you need that fix? Well if there is, I haven't found it yet!
These days, I'd have to say my favourite magazine is Heat. I love reading about celebrities – it's a guilty pleasure of mine!
We read a lot of the weekly entertainment magazines for my Radio 2 afternoon show, and it's important to keep up with all the latest gossip. I'm not sure you can top Heat in that respect. Whether you believe everything that's written is up to you, but for a large slice of topical celebrity news, it's a fantastic and, you know, a lot of fun at the same time. I think it you start taking these magazines too seriously then the joke is probably on you, friends!

Based on this document: -XX Command-line Options , there is a parameter to tell jrockit jvm to shutdown when there is an OutOfMemory error ("-XXexitOnOutOfMemory"). This parameter would be perfect, as instead of leaving WebLogic in a hanging state, it would shutdown and node manager will just boot it back up.
However, when i add the parameter to my startup WebLogic parameters ("-XXexitOnOutOfMemory"), JRockit says this argument is an invalid argument.
How can i implement this?
Thank you,
I'm found this issue rather amusing because there's conflicting oracle documentation on this - however the correct documentation helped
JRockit R28 documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15289_01/doc.40/e15062/optionxx.htm#BABCDAIB
Per the documentation it says to put "-XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError". Implementing it into my scripts worked like a charm.
