Chapter 4Mature
I stared at the ceiling, but what else could I do I guess?
I suppose I could have been doing homework, or sleeping seeing as it was about three o'clock in the morning. Neither of those was remotely possible for me at the moment.
This was the third night in a row that I just lied in bed, staring at the ceiling. I haven't slept. I closed my eyes and I saw my dad bleeding out on the ground, telling me everything will be just peachy. Well, guess what, Dad? Nothing is fine, or peachy, or okay.
I killed you.
I didn't understand how I could have been so stupid. How could I have made such a novice error in not looking left and right before driving across the damn intersection? I had a stop sign. Whomever was coming had the right of way.
But what bothered me was that I didn't see any lights. I didn't see anything. No vans, no trucks, no semis no anything. It was pitch dark. I should have seen the lights, but I never did. I saw nothing and thought it was safe to go.
My mother told me that the man driving the semi, Viktor Dwelling, only suffered minor bruises and cuts from the accident. How was it that he could be okay? I was not complaining, it was good that he was fine, but honestly, why him? Why couldn't my dad survive this?
Anyway, my mom seemed to think that this was a great time to become one with God. During the last three days, she said grace at every meal (I haven't, since I haven't eaten anything really except a spoonful of soup), prayed before going to bed (which I also haven't done, since I haven't slept) and went to a Sunday service at the local church (which I was forced to attend). She insisted that she had always been close to God, although I didn't remember her ever doing anything like this when she and Dad were together or since the divorce. She said that now we need God. I laughed at her and said, "No, I needed him on Friday. I needed him when I was driving with Dad. I needed him when I didn't see any lights. I needed him when we got in the accident. I needed him…" I stopped then because my voice cracked and I started to stutter.
"There was nothing you could have done," she said. "God made that choice."
To that, I put my middle finger in the air and told God to "fuck himself." That was perhaps why she forced me to go to church yesterday.
Someone had to have let the pastor know that I didn't believe or something, because he kept glancing at me after saying things like "acceptance is essential" and "one cannot question God's will." It probably didn't help that I shot him disbelieving looks through the whole service. But he sounded ridiculous.
I tried to close my eyes again. So tired. Please God, just let me sleep now. I know I'm bad, just let me sleep.
"Everything is going to be okay," I heard Dad say again as blood continued to pour from his chest. The EMTs were rushing again…
There was another prime example. Thanks a lot, Your Holiness.
I sat up in bed and decided it was time to have some tea. The stairs creaked as I made my way down. My mom was already in the kitchen, sipping her own tea like she'd been grieving all night.
"Eryn, you're up," she said with surprise. Her brown eyes were nearly closed, but I could still tell they were red and swollen. Her light brown hair stuck up on end. I didn't think she had brushed it in a while either.
"I haven't slept in three days, Mom," I said, my voice still weak. I wished that would go away. I wished the lump in my throat would go away.
"Me either really."
I chuckled. "Yeah, right." Even though her eyes said that she was telling the truth.
She looked at me, shocked again. "I haven't."
"Mom, I'm really tired of your bullshit. I really am."
She stood from the table, her eyes perked open in anger. "How dare you speak to me that way? I am your mother; you will treat me with respect."
"I would if you deserved some, Mom. But you lost my respect long ago."
She sighed. "It's been a year. Can you please stop holding the affair against me? I already told you that I made a mistake, but I was lonely and your father was never home to see that."
"That doesn't make it right for you to go looking for a new guy. A new guy who knocked you up and left you! While you were still with Dad!"
"Things were bad with him and I long before that—"
"Do you hear yourself making excuses? It's your fault. You can't remember me ever looking for a new father can you?"
"Now, Eryn, that's not fair." I was upsetting her. She looked like she was about to cry.
"It's the same thing!" I threw up my hands. "You can't pin this on Dad, Mom. You've been trying to do that for a year. You had an affair. You got knocked up. You had the abortion. You kept it from Dad. He caught you with him. It's your fault, so stop sitting her acting like you gave a shit about him, because we both know that you could have cared less about him." She opened her mouth but I didn't let her speak. "NO, Mom. If you really cared about him, you wouldn't have cheated on him. If you really cared, you wouldn't have kept it a secret. We've both done something wrong, Mom. At least I can fess up to it." I left the room and ran up the stairs, tears pouring down my face. I couldn't stop. My heart hurt.
I dropped onto my bed again, covering my face. I heard footsteps and my mother knocked on the door.
"Eryn, please. Open the door."
I didn't even think I could speak if I wanted to answer her. My throat felt like it was closing up.
"Eryn, please. The funeral is Saturday. We need to work this out. For your father."
Anger boiled in my empty stomach. I hopped up from the bed and whipped open the door, suddenly able to do more than just speak.
"For my father? FOR MY FATHER? You have got to be shitting me, Mom! Just…get the hell out of here! Leave!" I slammed the door.
"I'm going out," Mom said in a fashion that made it sound like she was choking..
I sighed as I heard the front door close. Now is probably a good time to raid the medicine cabinet for sleeping pills, I decided.
I didn't really take pills very often at all, so this was a rather new experience. But I really needed to sleep. Mom had to use them before.
My mom had an assortment of pills in the cabinet in her bathroom. I found the sleeping pills and put two in my mouth.
I struggled to swallow them. It took nearly three glasses of water and the most dramatic form of swallowing I had ever used. The lump in my throat still very much existed. I wondered if they made pills to get rid of them. Lump Removers. No, that just sounded weird. Like an STD treatment. Not exactly what I was looking for.
Back in my room, I lied down in bed and waited as patiently as possible for the pills to kick in.
After about twenty minutes, I closed my eyes to abrupt drowsiness and nothing else seemed to matter; not the lump in my throat, the throbbing of my head, or the pain pulsing through my body. For the first time in three days, I was asleep.
"Did you solve the case, Dad?"
I was driving with my dad along Rochester Ave. It was a warm night; cloudy and it rained on and off. I remembered he asked me to drive so I could have more practice since I got my license not too long ago.
He looked happy, not as stressed as he usually was. I cherished my weekends with him. I was so much happier with him than I was with my mom. He understood me. He knew me.
"Almost," he responded.
"We're getting much closer. We'll have them soon." He was working on a drug dealing case. Apparently this group called MAFFA was a huge drug dealing organization. There were members of the group throughout the United States and northern Mexico. My dad and Uncle Joe had been following one of them around, while another agent was posing as a dealer. The MAFFA was planning to sell large amounts of heroin and meth to numerous amounts of greedy junkies. Once they found more information on all of the dealers (like locations, ties to others, etc), they would move in during a major deal and arrest several of them at once.
"We have locations on 20 of them outside of state. We've already contacted the other field offices," my dad explained.
"Awesome." I was always fascinated by things like this. "You'll have 'em in no time then."
He smiled at me. "That's the plan." He put a hand on my shoulder. "One day, you can do it too. Catch people like this."
I smiled back. "Yeah, one day." He could tell something was wrong. He kept looking at me funny.
"Eryn? Your mom loves you. Don't forget that."
Dad had always been pretty good at figuring out what was wrong with me. I never understood because he was the only one who could do that; figure out that I was hiding something and know what it was.
It was hard to believe him. If she loved me, she should accept me, not try to change me.
Mom had been all "you should go out and make some friends," because Neil was clearly not enough for me and "maybe you should look into other things for the future" because being in the FBI was not a future she wanted for her daughter and "let's go shopping and have a girls night" because I was too busy shooting guns and focusing on schoolwork than doing other things. She never even tried to hide her disappointment in me, like I posted drunken pictures of myself on Facebook or got caught screwing in some college guy's car. No matter what I did, I couldn't please her while still being me. I couldn't make her happy. Sometimes I wished she would yell more. The dissatisfied silence hurt my ears.
Just then, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith came on the radio. It was Dad's favorite song. He cranked the volume.
"I could stay awake, just to hear you breathin'…" His voice wasn't all that bad. In fact, it comforted me. I loved it when he sang. It made me feel safe, gave me a sense of security. I always told him that if he ever stopped being excellent at his job he could make it in the singing business.
"The sweetest dream would never do, I'd still miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing…"
I smiled again and joined in with him. This happened a lot in my dad's car. Every time we heard a song on the radio that we liked, we turned up the volume and sang at the top of our lungs, not caring if people heard. It was our thing.
I thought about how safe I felt with Dad in the SUV, his singing in my ears. I forgot about my problems at school and with Mom. I forgot about everything except being content here, with my dad. It was so easy just to be happy with him.
There was a stop sign up ahead, so I slowed down. It was a two-way stop with the left and right sides with the right-of-way. I looked right, then left. I saw nothing. The music was still loud. I heard nothing. I pulled forward.
We were distracted by the music, and my dad laughed because I messed up the words.
Suddenly, there were lights coming at us from the right.
Everything I saw, I saw too late. Panic washed over my face.
"Dad!" I shouted.
And then there was a collision. Both our bodies flew as glass shattered. I felt us go upside down. I saw my dad's face, seemingly broken. I saw blood, too much blood…
The world was spinning. My body lodged into the seat, and I felt needles in my arm. I reached for my dad, but I couldn't see him. He was not there. Where was he?
Then, Viktor Dwelling's face appeared where my dad should have been. He was laughing. Laughing because he was driving that giant pickup truck without his lights on. Laughing because he wasn't not hurt. Laughing because my arm was gone. Laughing because he killed my father.
No, please. Make it stop. Make everything stop.
"Don't leave me."
"Just stay with me, Dad!"
"Eryn, wake up!"
Someone shook me awake. I blinked twice because I saw my dad, but Uncle Joe stood before me, concern on his face, pain still etched in the creases of his forehead.
I bolted up realizing I was sweating profusely. A dream. I had a dream. That meant I was asleep for once. Wow. Those pills really did work. And now, there was clarity.
"Eryn, I wanted to let you know that I had to pick up your mother. From a bar. I think she called you, numerous times. You seemed like you were having a nightmare though, so I thought I'd wake you."
I never even heard the phone ring and I was normally a light sleeper. "A bar?" I asked in utter confusion, the clarity disappearing.
"She's drunk. The bartender evidently had been talking to her a lot and wouldn't let her go home without a ride. He didn't want to call a taxi if she had family or friends around."
"She's in her room right now, passed out. She mumbled something about a fight you guys had and she was crying and…are you okay? You're awfully pale."
"Nothing. I'm fine. Just a nightmare." I smiled a little for some reassurance.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"No, um…you have work and I have school tomorrow. It's fine."
"Okay…" He got up, but looked like he had something else to say.
"What is it, Joe?"
"Your mom…she…" He ran a hand through his hair. "Somehow she got a hold of some cigarettes and…she smoked again. According to the bartender a whole pack in an hour."
I put my hand over my face. My mom had quit smoking a year ago and she swore she would never smoke again.
"She's just upset, I think. That was some fight," Joe said.
I looked up at him. "Yeah, I guess."
"I'm gonna go. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes. I am okay. Uh…Joe?"
"Yes?" He stopped at the door.
"Can I come by tomorrow after school to shoot?"
He looked at me with understanding in his eyes. "Yes. Yes you may. If you come by in the afternoon, I don't think anyone would use it and Wilson won't mind then."
"Okay. Thanks."
"Goodnight, Eryn." He nodded and left.
I looked at myself in the mirror across the room. The dark circles were still there, but my eyes weren't cloudy anymore. Everything was crystal clear.
It wasn't my fault. I didn't kill my dad.
Viktor Dwelling killed him. He had meant to hit us. He didn't turn on his lights until the last second and didn't stop at the stop sign. He was going about 90 miles an hour. It was his fault. That bastard killed my father.
It wasn't me.

Baramulla, Oct 11 (UNI) Seven soldiers and two civilians were killed and scores wounded in a blast inside an Army canteen at Pattan in north Kashmir district this afternoon.
Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), which has declared three-day unilateral ceasefire from tomorrow, has claimed responsibility for the blast.
Official sources said seven soldiers and two civilians had died and eight soldiers were wounded.
However, a defence spokesperson in Srinagar said the initial reports stated that the blast in the canteen was caused after a gas cylinder exploded in which two civilians were killed and four soldiers wounded.
The spokesperson said the exact number of dead and injured could be known only after the debris of the structure, damaged in the blast, are removed.
A Baramulla report said a gas cyclinder exploded inside the canteen at Hamraj Pattan this afternoon. The blast was followed by two more blasts.
An HM spokesman said they detonated the blast inside the canteen, in which more than a dozen soldiers were killed and scores wounded.

Tests on Steven Gerrard's troublesome groin established yesterday that he has sustained a small strain to his adductor muscle, though Liverpool may still gamble on playing him against Blackburn Rovers tomorrow and then rest him for the second leg of the Champions League tie with Chelsea on Tuesday.
If that is the course of action Gerrard and the club opt for – discussions will take place at the Melwood training centre today on the best way ahead – it would appear to be an implicit signal that the Champions League tie against Chelsea is all but lost to Liverpool's mind and that the club have made keeping the heat on Manchester United in domestic competition their priority. Though Gerrard has, as yet, not been ruled out of any matches, Benitez said that he was "clearly not as mobile as normal" during Liverpool's 3-1 first-leg defeat by Chelsea on Wednesday evening, when Michael Essien marked him out of the match and the tear apparently sustained during the game provides some explanation.
Liverpool will be anxious to resolve Gerrard's stubborn groin problem as they pursue what, by Wednesday, may well be the last winnable silverware of the season. Gerrard underwent groin surgery in August and it was a torn adductor muscle in November which prompted the row between the Football Association and Liverpool, after the England manager, Fabio Capello, doubted Liverpool's claim that he was injured and insisted he make a needless 400-mile round trip to the national squad's Hertfordshire base ahead of the friendly against Germany in Berlin.
The prospect of Gerrard being less than fit is a disturbing one for Liverpool, considering how instrumental to the Anfield side's resurgence he and Fernando Torres' partnership has been and Torres was also "less than 100 per cent" on Wednesday, according to Benitez, though that appears to be down to fatigue.
If Gerrard is rested for the Champions League second leg, there would be a 10-day window for recuperation, with no game for Liverpool on Cup semi-final weekend, until the crunch league tie with Arsenal at Anfield the following Tuesday.
Liverpool's Pepe Reina did not contribute much optimism when he put his side's chances of progressing in west London next Tuesday at a mere 15 per cent. "I would say it is more or less 85-15 against us qualifying now," said Reina, whose side now find themselves clinging to thoughts of that 4-1 win at Old Trafford for reasons other than a belief that they can beat Manchester United to the title. "We won 1-4 at Old Trafford three weeks ago and we have it within us to do that again," Reina said. "It can be done."
Chelsea have renewed belief, in the wake of Wednesday night, that they can win the title. "Everything is still up for grabs," Frank Lampard said yesterday. "Who knows what can happen in the League, FA Cup and the Champions League? It's important we keep to the standards we set at Liverpool. When we play to those standards, when we look at the strength we've got throughout the pitch, we are as good as anybody. We've just got to play to that high standard all the time."
That said, Chelsea – four points behind Manchester United in the League with one game less to play – have a tough run-in, with Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Fulham, all form sides, to overcome.
Petr Cech made no bones about his belief that Luiz Felipe Scolari's departure is restoring them to their natural game. "I think we've come back to our style of playing when Mr [Guus] Hiddink arrived. You can see this is the Chelsea we all knew before the start of this season."

This will be a dang good fight, could be fight of the night. Will be close but I'm going w/ Diaz, he's got some real nice submissions, and has looked crisp in his last few fights.
10k on nate... juss kiddin lol
Tough fight.
1 Attachment(s)
500 on Diaz, he'll sub Guida at some point.
Damnit I was hopin for 1 to 1 odds atleast... I throw some skrilla on my boy Diaz anyway tho.
Guida after his lost to Huerta has finally put it together. Clayton via UD.
This will be a tough one. Two very good fighters.
Tough fight... I almost didn't bet but after thinking about it at best Guida is a middle of the road guy so if Nick has any potential for the future he needs to beat these type of guys so layed 5 g'z on em
Nate seems to have trouble vs stronger fighters... and Guida is one of the strongest in the division!
I see this fight going a lot like the start of Nate's fight with Kurt Pellegrino.. Nate will be overwhelmed by Clay's strength and I think Guida can avoid the subs! Clay by TKO or possibly decision..

The Restaurant
Despite the oppressive heat, John was able to reach town within a few minutes. On the edge of town stood a rusting sign said that proclaimed the community's name. Even though the sign was weathered by years of exposure to the briny air, John was able to make out the name "Salton" on its surface.
Walking through town, he was able to see the reason for this name. Every building's exterior had been ravaged by the salty air. Holes in the paint of each structure left the metal exposed. Spots of rust were easily visible. John walked for some distance before seeing a curio shop that peaked his interest. From the sidewalk, he was able to make out various items in the store's window front. An old bottle, an anchor, and a porcelain ship all served to lure customers in. Once inside, John was greeted by an older man with salt-and-pepper stubble. John acknowledged the storekeeper and looked about. An acoustic guitar along the far wall caught his eye. The instrument looked as though it had been exposed to the salty air for far too long, but remained in John's mind long after he left the shop.
As the sun rose directly above the earth, Turner began to grow hungry. John realized that he had only eaten a few bites of the breakfast prepared for him by Martha. Looking around, he quickly spotted a restaurant with large windows that allowed him to see much of the dining room. Only one person sat in the diner. With his head stuck in a newspaper, the man looked oblivious to the girl collecting dirty dishes around him.
John was suddenly struck by the girl's appearance. Her flaxen hair, her clear blue eyes, and the spray of freckles on her face all seemed so out of place in a town such as this. The only residents he had seen thus far were much older and carried countenances weathered by time. In regards to age, she appeared only a few years younger than John.
Opening the front door, John could feel a rush of cool air hit his face. Along the far wall, he was able to see an elevated area of the floor that looked much like a stage. The jingle of the bell tied around the door handle startled the girl. She set the plates in her hand on a nearby table and walked to the front of the restaurant.
"Table or booth?"
John, still struck by the girl's sweet looks, failed to register her question. She repeated it and he replied "Table."
The girl led John to a table only a few feet away from the booth of the only other patron. The man looked up from his paper and spoke to John.
"You look new here."
"Yeah, I just got into town last night. I plan to leave as soon as I can get my truck fixed."
"It break down on you?"
"Yeah," replied John softly.
The girl walked over John's table and asked him, "Coffee or soda?"
"I'll just have water."
She left and quickly returned with a glass full of water. John looked closely at the glass and was able to see a layer of salt lying along its bottom.
"This is the only water we can pump here," she said. "Now if you want some coffee, it'll cost you a dollar."
John looked at the liquid placed before him with hyperbolic melancholy. The girl grinned, revealing two rows of pearly whites. He agreed to her proposal and was given a mug full of hot coffee just a few minutes later.
John sipped his coffee for some time. As the girl passed by him, he asked "Could I order some food?"
"Sure," the girl replied. "We serve burgers and fries. You can have both, either, or neither. I'm sure that you want either or both since you asked. Both would be a little heavy, especially in this heat and after your coffee. You wanted something filling and the fries wouldn't fulfill that desire very well. How would you like your burger done? We cook 'em medium-rare."
John smiled and said "Medium-rare is fine. I was planning on ordering it that way anyway, but you went ahead and read my mind."
The other patron, still sitting in his booth, interjected "She does that."
"I'll be back with your burger in a few minutes," said the girl.
As John waited for his burger, he heard the bell on the front door jingle. Looking up, he saw Bill Hodge walking in. The other patron finished reading the paper, walked out the door, and exchanged pleasantries with Bill. The girl noticed Bill's entrance and walked out of the kitchen to greet him. The plate she carried out of the kitchen held a large steaming burger. As the girl walked by John's table, she placed the plate in front of him.
"If it isn't Bill Hodge! How are you doing?"
"I'm doing just fine. Thanks for asking."
"And Mrs. Hodge?"
"She's good. She's good."
"Well, what can I do for you, Bill?"
"I just came in to see how John was doing."
"Well, from the look on his face right now, he's enjoying one of my burgers."
The girl smiled at John and walked back to the kitchen. Bill took the seat across from Turner and began to speak.
"I talked to Dave Bruner and, unfortunately, his truck's winch is broken. This might make your getting back on the road a bit more difficult. It would take a week or so to get the winch repaired. As for your truck, that could be anywhere from a week to a month. Salton isn't exactly a metropolitan center. Fortunately, this predicament gives you more time to stay in town."
"Well," John replied, thinking back to the girl in the kitchen, "It's a pretty nice town."
Bill nodded and glanced at the kitchen door. John followed suite and saw the girl walking out of the kitchen with a coffee pot. She walked to the two men's table and filled both their mugs with coffee. Once both their cups were full, she took a seat at the table.
"So you've met Lissie?" asked Bill.
Exchanging smiles with Lissie, John said "We've talked a little bit."
Lissie interrupted, "I read his mind."
"She read my mind," confirmed John.
"She does that," said Bill.
Lissie directed her conversation towards John.
"So what brings you to Salton?"
"Well, a few dozen miles out of town, my truck broke down. Bill, here, chanced upon me and saved me from the cold weather."
"Staying anywhere?"
"Bill's letting me stay in his home."
"That's nice. Especially with Bill. He's not like Mrs. Hodge. Doesn't care much for visitors."
"Well, John's different. I could tell he was a lot better than the people that usually come to my house."
"You mean Debora and Sarah?"
"Yeah. Anyway, John's going to be staying here a few days until we can get his truck fixed."
John nodded and Bill continued.
"Lucky for him, the chili festival is in a few days." Bill turned toward John. "You'll get to taste Lissie's chili. It really is some of the best in the region." He added quickly, "Still can't beat my Martha's."
Lissie jabbed Bill in the side with her elbow.
"Now, Bill, you know my chili has won the contest three years in a row."
"Maybe, but don't expect a fourth. Martha's been perfecting her recipe and I'm sure it has what it takes to win this year. I should know. She's been making me taste test it.
"We'll see when the contest comes."
After a few minutes, Bill and Lissie directed their attention towards John, who sat listening to their banter with an amused smirk on his face.
"So, John, you ought to attend the chili contest," Bill said, "Every entrant makes a mean pot of chili but the competition is always a toss-up between Mrs. Hodge and Lissie. It's just two days away."
John expressed his desire to attend and Bill cheered. At the man's exuberant exclamation, both Lissie and John laughed.
Bill glanced at his watch and spoke. "Well, I should probably get going. Martha wants me to test some more of her recipe. I swear to God, I'll be sick of chili by the time this contest is over."
Bill stood up from the table, and walked towards the front door. Lissie followed him and they exchanged a few words. John soon followed and asked the waitress about his tab.
Lissie responded "A couple bucks will do."
John handed her two bills and left the restaurant.

Deal or No Deal Online Game
If you've seen the game show Deal or No Deal hosted by Noel Edmonds you are bound to enjoy the online game from Ladbrokes Games.
It's very closely based on the TV show, where you make your own deal decisions in a battle of wits against the mysterious banker. You'll have the chance to win real cash or just play for fun.
For a more advanced version of the game, see Deal or No Deal Jackpot Game.
If you choose to play Deal or No Deal in demo mode you'll receive a virtual bank of £500. If playing for real, you'll see the balance of your betting account.
You can stake as little as 50p or as much as £1,000 per game. Enter the stake amount you feel happy to risk on the game. This will determine the amounts that appear within each of the 26 boxes. The higher your stake the more you can win.
The smallest amount you win will be 1/50th of the stake amount, while the top amount is 10 times your stake (e.g. £10 stakes gives a top amount of £100, £50 gives £500).
Once you've entered your stake amount and clicked play, you select the box to keep that you hope will contain the top money amount.
You select the remaining boxes to open and reveal their contents. As with the Deal or No Deal game show you want to uncover the lower (blue) amounts and avoid the larger (red) amounts.
After you've opened the first 6 of the remaining boxes, the banker will phone through with his offer.
The size of the offer will depend upon the values that you have uncovered up to that point. You'll see from our example we'd uncovered 5 of the blue boxes and just 1 of the red amounts. The bankers offer came in at £11.78, which would have been a profit of £1.78 on our stake.
At this point you need to chose whether to Deal or No Deal. You could take the profit (Deal) or continue (No Deal) in the hope of an increased amount later on.
In our example we decided to continue with the game and selected "No Deal".
After opening 5 more boxes the banker gave his next offer. Despite uncovering 3 red boxes and 2 blue's the banker increased his offer to £13.33 (£3.33 profit).
Another 5 boxes opened and the top amount has gone. At this point it looks like we should have dealt earlier and the banker's offer has now dropped to £7.54 (a loss of £2.46).
At this point we could have cut our losses or continued in the hope of still getting 1 of the higher amounts.
At this stage 4 more boxes are removed before the banker gives his next offer. We lost the top amount, but also a couple of blues and the lowest of the reds. The banker raised his offer slightly to £7.96 (loss of £2.04), but 4 of the 6 remaining boxes are higher than that amount, so we decided to continue.
4 more boxes revealed and it couldn't have gone any better, with the 4 lowest remaining amounts eliminated. The banker's final offer was £13.50 (profit of £3.50). We were guaranteed a nice profit whatever was in the box.
Our box was opened to reveal £14.00, which had we been playing for real would have produced a nice profit of £4.00.
The game is great fun. If you fancy having a go, see Deal Or No Deal at bet365 Games or Ladbrokes

About Mike & Taylor
29 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi! We're Mike and Taylor Fisher, and we absolutely love animals—especially dogs!
If there's one thing every dog owner has in common, it's the heartfelt desire to give our dogs the best life they can possibly have. When we saw our Golden Retriever (Copper) beginning to slow down and transition into his senior years, we were determined to make his golden years (shameless pun intended) the best
years of his life. His brother from another mother—an energetic German Shorthaired Pointer named Mason—was also eagerly on board with the ambitious (if not crazy) idea we had in mind. And so the adventure began, and in March of 2016, we sold our house in Conifer and made the move to our very own ranch here in Nathrop, Colorado. We haven't regretted our decision for one day since then, and Copper and Mason couldn't be more excited to show your four-legged friend all around their land.
Our ranch is made up of 43 acres, split equally between gently rolling pasture on the eastern half, and a dog's dream forest on the western half. We have two creeks that run through the property during the spring and summer months, perfect for a quick drink or cool-down, along with a seasonal pond to socialize with the local frogs. We've built a trail system on the ranch that dogs love to explore, making several loops that are long enough to tire even the most energetic pups. There are ravines to check out, squirrels to chase, bushes to sniff, chipmunks to be taunted by, and enough trees to keep even the most ambitious pooch busy marking for years. We have horses, goats, and chickens on the ranch as well, but they all have their own barns, coops, and fenced areas, so you don't have to worry about your pooch coming home with feathers in his mouth.
Our home is a cozy 1,200 square foot log cabin that was built in 1885. We renovated the cabin with dogs in mind, so they always have free-choice doggy door access to come inside if the weather turns bad and they need a couch to take a power nap on, or to simply go outside and play as they please. While our property is fenced, and our own two dogs are extremely friendly and social, we prefer the peace of mind of providing constant supervision. We both work from home so we're always here to watch your beloved family member.
So what does a typical day look like? We like to give our four-legged guests the full dude-ranch experience. After a hearty breakfast, they'll get to spend miles walking the property with us, stacking hay with us, mucking the horse stalls with us, mending fences with us, listening to country music with us, and if they end up falling in love with the captivating melodies from George Strait, there's always an extra cowboy hat laying around that they can throw on. When the sun goes down, there are 3 couches and 2 queen beds to call dibs on, or they can simply snuggle up in bed with us. If your pooch feels safer in his or her kennel, we welcome you to bring it, along with an old t-shirt that smells like you to help give them a restful night of sleep. We want your pup to feel relaxed, free, and having the time of his or her life. Our goal is for your pup to leave our ranch with memories he or she can dream of for months or years to come, and an eagerness to come back to the ranch the next time you find yourself in our neck of the woods. We'll also send photo updates to your phone so your pooch can show off all the fun they're having on their vacation.
Where We're At:
Our ranch is conveniently located halfway between the two quaint mountain towns of Buena Vista (12 miles north of us) and Salida (12 miles south of us). Our home is located right off of Highway 285, so drop-offs and pick-ups are simple. We're surrounded by the world-famous rafting and fly-fishing Arkansas River to the east (along with Browns Canyon National Monument), Monarch Mountain ski area a mere 25 minutes south, and endless hiking, 4x4, horseback riding, mountain biking, and plenty more adventures in all directions.
A few final words from us:
Taylor is 28 years old and Mike is 29 years old. We're happily married and excited to add to our (human) family in the next few years. We've each had dogs since the day we were born and have a deep love and passion for animals. We know how important your dog is to you, and we promise to treat your pup just like our own. There have been two occasions in our lives where we had no choice but to take our pups to so-called "dog camps", which were little more than a room full of small kennels, concrete yards, and an atmosphere filled with incessant barking, nervous anxiety, and overwhelming stress for both dog and owner. Each time we vowed to never put our dogs through that again, and we vowed to help other dog owners avoid those same kinds of stressful scenarios. We welcome you to come visit our ranch and see for yourself the fun that your dog will get to have. Who knows, you might even decide to skip your plans and spend the day here on the ranch as well!
We're open to caring for other animals as well, so just ask us. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us or message us. We can't wait to meet you and your pup(s)!

UPDATE 1-Gold miner Agnico-Eagle slashes dividend citing lower gold prices
Feb 13 (Reuters) - Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd slashed its quarterly dividend to 8 cents per share from 22 cents, saying the reduction reflects current market conditions as gold is trading about $100 per ounce lower than the company's realized price in 2013.
However, the miner reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results as its total gold production increased about 36 percent.
"Despite the strong operating results, and solid production growth ahead from our existing assets, we have decided to reduce our quarterly dividend to enhance our financial flexibility in the current lower gold price environment," Chief Executive Sean Boyd said in a statement.
Agnico-Eagle's gold per ounce realized prices for the full year fell to $1,366 per ounce from $1,667 a year earlier.
Gold prices fell 28 percent last year - the first decline in 13 years, hitting a low of $1,180 an ounce at one point. Spot Gold is currently trading at the $1,290 per ounce level.
Agnico-Eagle said total gold production in the fourth quarter rose 36 percent to 322,443 ounces pulling the full-year gold production up 4 percent to about 1,099,335 ounces.
It expects 2014 gold production in the range of 1,175,000 ounces to 1,205,000 ounces.
The company reported a net loss of $453.3 million, or 2.61 cents per share, in the three months ended December compared with a profit of $82.8 million, or 48 cents per share, a year earlier. Continued...

think-cell supports Microsoft Office 2016 as well as Microsoft Office 365 with the "fully installed Office applications". Note that Office 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Enterprise E1 do not include the "fully installed Office applications" and therefore cannot support Office COM Add-ins like think-cell.
Microsoft Office 2016 is on a technical level very similar to the Office 365 "fully installed Office applications". Everything below regarding Office 365 updates applies to Office 2016 installations if they receive feature updates.
To check if your Office installation receives feature updates, open any Office application and go to File → Account. If Update Options is available, you receive feature updates. Here you can also see the update channel through which you receive updates.
Office 365 requires the latest think-cell version, which is also compatible with older Microsoft Windows and Office versions, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions. It is therefore recommended to install the latest think-cell version regardless of which Windows or Office version you use. You can get the latest think-cell version from our download web page.
Office 365 ProPlus defaults to the Deferred Channel, where updates are released with some delay. This is the update channel recommended by Microsoft if you use Office add-ins. For details please consult Microsoft's documentation for IT administrators, Overview of update channels for Office 365 ProPlus.
Please consult with your Microsoft Office support contact if you are in doubt whether your Office 365 plan offers the Deferred Channel.
These plans default to Microsoft's updates from the Current Channel. For details please consult Microsoft's documentation for IT administrators, Overview of update channels for Office 365 ProPlus. The Current Channel is expected to get updates every month and receives the newest Office features right away.
Due to the sometimes considerable changes Microsoft makes in the Current Channel it is typically required that your think-cell installation is up to date. If you use the Current Channel with automatic updates we therefore strongly recommend that you also leave think-cell's automatic updates and online quality assurance enabled, to allow us to provide a compatible version to you.
By joining Microsoft's optional Office Insider or First Release programs, you will continuously receive Office updates in advance. A compatible think-cell version may not be immediately available. This channel should only be used for testing and if you do not require functional Office add-ins at all times. For productive work we recommend to stay in the regular Office update channels, as explained above.
If you have any further questions regarding the compatibility of think-cell with Office 365 and Office 2016 please contact our support team.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › how much weight can I expect seam-sealing adds to a shelter's weight?
Oct 1, 2012 at 5:12 am #1294599
Roughly but kinda realistically how much weight can I expect to be added by seam-sealing my TarpTent Rainbow? If no one has the answer for that particular shelter then a 1 person shelter (not a tarp).
Just playing with numbers……Oct 1, 2012 at 5:47 am #1917084
Charles GrierBPL Member
@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
Unless you really slop it on, it should add no more than an ounce to the weight. What does add weight is painting "non-skid" stripes on the silnylon floor. I added nearly 2 oz doing this to my SMD Luna Solo. I may have overdone the non-skid part though.Oct 1, 2012 at 1:21 pm #1917200
Mary DBPL Member
@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
My first silnylon tent was a Tarptent Squall II. I went a bit overboard and put 2 oz. of seam sealer on it.
Since then I've seam sealed a Tarptent Rainshadow II, a SMD Lunar Solo, a GG/Tarptent Squall Classic and a ZPacks Hexamid Twin. 1 oz. added for each, including floor spots (instead of stripes) on all but the last. Hint: on the floor stuff, to keep pad from sliding you don't need to paint the floor at the bottom end, the top end or right next to the sides. Only put the sealant where your pad will hit! Spots are easier to clean around than stripes. Especially don't paint too close to the door, because that's where the most dirt will stick to the sealant!Oct 1, 2012 at 1:42 pm #1917211
Seth BrewerBPL Member
@whistlerLocale: www.peaksandvalleys.weebly.com
When I sealed my TT Rainbow and added floor strips it added 1.2 oz. – but with floor dots that could be less (I also do all the seam lines 2 times)Oct 1, 2012 at 3:26 pm #1917259
Harrison CarpenterSpectator
@carpenhLocale: St. Vrain River Valley
Evidently, I slopped sealant onto my Tarptent Notch– between the seam sealing and anti-slippage stripes, I added 2.1 oz.Oct 1, 2012 at 3:37 pm #1917263
I do most TTs with under 1oz of silicone.
My preference is for a very diluted version so that it soaks into the stitches.
A bit of a fine line between thin and too thin but essentially you don't want blobs nor drips running off the stitch line..
I used to stripe/dot the floor with a fairly heavy mix now I dilute that well also because it appears that a thin layer does a good enough job.
BTW, when seam sealing make sure you do the base of these Velcro/ribbon/elastic bits that stick out from the fly :
I had an unfinished DR set up when it started to rain. The next morning the floor had several drops , at first they appeared random then realised they corresponded to those four not yet sealed loops on the canopy.
(the wind had spread the spray around…)Oct 1, 2012 at 4:52 pm #1917301
I think I went wrong with not diluting the scilicone sealant :(…now I have to look elsewhere to find a bit more weight savings.Oct 1, 2012 at 5:19 pm #1917315
This is a random section of a sealed seam of my Notch :
I know many don't dilute but this may give you an idea of why I do.Oct 1, 2012 at 7:26 pm #1917359
eric chanBPL Member
measure the weight of the tube of seam seal before and after … that will tell you
but the real answer … not enough for you to notice in any way, shape or form … except through a digital scale …. in other words it wont matter ;)Oct 1, 2012 at 7:38 pm #1917364
Jerry AdamsBPL Member
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
You have to weigh tent before and after because some of it evaporates
Except, you're right it won't really matterOct 2, 2012 at 12:39 am #1917433

@mike_hefetzLocale: Israel
@franco – that is some GOOD LOOKING seam seal – kudos!
btw – if i am using seam GRIP (eg on eVent, Pertex Sheild etc) what would you dilute it with?
MikeOct 2, 2012 at 2:19 am #1917438
When I was doing the BD and Bibler shelters I used the provided Seam Grip squirting it onto the seam with a syringe.
It is possible that I diluted some with Shellite (white spirit/Coleman fuel) but maybe that is what I was using then to dilute silicone, not sure.
The last time I used Seam Grip I think was about 7-8 years ago…Oct 2, 2012 at 3:01 am #1917443
Franco that is some sick seam sealing man….you've been practising haven't you? :)
…..mine doesn't look like that at all.
Anyway of removing seam sealing???…and starting again?Oct 2, 2012 at 2:31 pm #1917589
Not worth it in my oppinion.
I have seen comments about the sealing peeling off, I just think that the wrong sealant was used , if that happens you can try scraping it off but it is a messy job.
A mate of mine (sells tent in a local shop…) did a tarp with the wrong sealant and that started to peel not long after, I scraped some off with a toothbrush and a blade and then did the other side for him.Oct 2, 2012 at 2:38 pm #1917590
David UreMember
I use Henry's approach and use a small foam brush. 3 or 4:1 ratio of mixture. The only way I can tell I have any sealer on is by touch.
Added 1.2 oz to the Notch and that is with painting the floor with slip stripes as well.Oct 2, 2012 at 4:14 pm #1917617
Jerry AdamsBPL Member
@retiredjerryLocale: Oregon and Washington
I never seal the seams on my silnylon tents and never noticed any leakage
In Oregon I get a lot of testing
I have pyramid tent that has seams at steep angle so that helps
you might want to try your tent and not seal it until you notice it leaking
I sew on these velcro strips to keep door open, and I've noticed them to leak, so I seal them.Oct 4, 2012 at 2:36 am #1918053

Jill Scott Left Husband After He Wouldn't Eat Her Foo
There are lots of reasons why marriages fall apart, but for singer Jill Scott, it all came down to her cooking. Scott split from her husband of six years, Lyzel Williams, back in 2007, and explained in an interview that it was because he didn't eat her food.
"One of the reasons my ex-husband and I broke up is that he stopped eating my food," Scott told U.K. newspaper the Guardian. "He was pissed [off] for other reasons, but the best way to show me was by leaving what I'd made for him uneaten for days on the kitchen counter. It was a smack in the face."
Since taking time out of the musical spotlight, Scott has reemerged, releasing her fourth album 'The Light of the Sun,' which hits yesterday

Information on 2017 Macon Film Festival juror bios will be available soon!
For more info on 2016 festival jurors please see below.
Carrie Preston
With her bubbly persona and drive to perform, CARRIE PRESTON has landed roles in everything from stage to the big screen to a starring role as Arlene Fowler, the red-headed sassy waitress in the Golden Globe nominated HBO series TRUE BLOOD. Preston's breakout Outer Critics Award nominated turn as "Miranda" in George C. Woolf's Broadway production of Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST with Patrick Stewart, led to roles in major television series such as LOST and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES along with scene-stealing turns in DUPLICITY with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen; Woody Allen's VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA; the Oscar nominated TRANSAMERICA, playing Felicity Huffman's sister; Alan Ball's TOWELHEAD opposite Aaron Eckhart, the Daisy 3 Pictures' (her production company) film READY? OK!, and the critically acclaimed independent film, THAT EVENING SUN, with Hal Holbrook, which just completed its theatrical run.
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, where her mother was an artist and art therapist while her dad was a geo-technical engineer, a young Carrie Preston discovered her true calling in life lay in performing arts. At the age of 12, she became the impresario of her own front-yard theater company as producer, writer, casting director, costumer, director – and of course, actress. Preston later obtained a BFA from the University of Evansville followed with an acting diploma from the prestigious Juilliard School.
Carrie made an auspicious big screen debut as one of the two sexy, Southern bridesmaid sisters in the Julia Robert's blockbuster MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING. Some other film credits include playing the 50's housewife Sally, struggling with her Rock Hudson-esque husband in STRAIGHT-JACKET; playing the lead in the indie festival hit LOVELY BY SURPRISE; MERCURY RISING with Bruce Willis; FOR RICHER OR POORER with Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley; GUINEVERE with Stephen Rea and Sarah Polley; WOMAN WANTED with Holly Hunter and Keifer Sutherland; STEPFORD WIVES with Nicole Kidman; and Robert Redford's THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE.
On television, she was a series regular on the sitcom EMERIL, starring the chef Emeril Lagasse. Guest appearances include Felicity Huffman's sister (again) on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES; PRIVATE PRACTICE; LOST; NUMBERS; THE INSIDE; the series finale of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT; WONDER FALLS; playing two killers and one victim on LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT; SEX AND THE CITY with Sarah Jessica Parker; SPIN CITY, with Michael J. Fox; UNION SQUARE; SIGNIFICANT OTHERS; and TRINITY.
A crucial role playing "Ophelia" in HAMLET 15 years ago at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival is where Carrie met her husband, Emmy Award winning Michael Emerson, who was playing Guildenstern in the production. Since then, the two have both starred in the movies STRAIGHT JACKET, GRACE & GLORIE, and THE JOURNEY. Keeping it in the family, Carrie played Michael's mother in a flashback on his hit series LOST. Michael also had a role in the film 29TH AND GAY, which Preston produced and directed.
Always up for the next challenge, Preston is currently shooting the third season of the highly rated TRUE BLOOD, the HBO series from creator Alan Ball (mastermind of "Six Feet Under"), alongside an international muli/culti ensemble of actors, including Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin. She also just completed two episodes of THE GOOD WIFE, playing Chris Noth's new lawyer. Preston can be next seen on the big screen starring opposite Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris in Dustin Lance Black's WHAT'S WRONG WITH VIRGINIA? Also on the horizon is her harrowing turn as a struggling single Mom in A BAG OF HAMMERS, with Rebecca Hall and Jason Ritter. Carrie is also busy preparing to direct her next feature film, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID, written by Kellie Overbey. She will produce the film with Emmy and Golden Globe winning producer Lucy Barzun Donnelly (GREY GARDENS), and it is slated to start production in NYC in the fall.
Carrie and Michael travel back and forth between Los Angeles and New York with their dog, Chumley.

After an impressive showing in their season opener in Portland, the Philadelphia Union returned home to an PPL Park crowd eager to see their new-look team in action.
The Union didn't disappoint, controlling their match against the New England Revolution for much of the day on their way to a 1-0 victory against the Revs on Saturday.
Sebastien LeToux's game-winning finish off a Leonardo Fernandes pass in the 31st minute was all the Union defense needed as Zach MacMath made three saves to preserve the shutout.
The Revs dropped their second straight loss, and did so without reigning MLS Defender of the Year Jose Goncalves, who was left out of the squad. His absence wasn't quite the reason the Revs lost though, as the Union midfield dominated proceedings on a day where they held a 60-40 possession edge on the Revs.
Fernandes stepped in for Brian Carroll, who was sidelined due to illness, and he made the most of the opportunity, sending in a dangerous cross that LeToux bundled home in the 31st minute.
The victory improves the Union to 1-0-1 on the young season, with midfield newcomers Maurice Edu, Vincent Nogueira and Cristian Maidana impressing once again after their strong showing against Portland.
Carroll's work rate was missed in the middle, but Fernandes helped bring some energy as the Union outworked the Revs, winning all the major statistical categories on the day.
The Revs are now 0-2 and facing an uncertain future as Goncalves' absence raises serious questions about whether he will be with the club long. He voiced his displeasure with his contract situation during preseason, then opened 2014 with a poor showing in the team's 4-0 loss to Houston.
Here are the match highlights:
I've been a Union fan since 2010 and this might have been the best first half they have ever played.
How was, as you write, Carroll's work rate was missed in the middle"? We played better without him than with him. And explain to me where in this match was Carroll missed?
Esteban de la Sexface
Carroll was only missed in the final five minutes. Fernandes was tired and he isn't inclined to defend and hustle like Carroll is. As for the other 85 minutes, Carroll was not missed by any right-thinking Union fan.
Dont get too excited about this win. As a Revs fan, I can say we STINK. A 1-0 victory against a team that lost 4-0 a week ago is nothing to write home about
Had the Union finished better with their point blank chance it could have been 4-0. Look around the league. There are very few blowouts. Give your team and goal tender some credit. The Union will be fine and yes they can win 1-0 or have the potential to blow teams out. They have a midfield that is just learning to play together. When next the play NE and Casey is teamed with McInerney, Le Toux, Maidana, Nogueira, and Edu; you'll get the blow out you want against your team.
