The Perfect System
George Halvorson
Health care needs and deserves the perfect computer system. We should begin with that goal and build our national and collective system agenda and IT investment strategy with the creation of a perfect system as our clearly targeted end point.
What would a perfect system for health care look like? We need to be very clear from the beginning what our expectations for a perfect system are if we are going to invest billions of dollars in health care IT as part of the national economic recovery agenda. We should be very focused on building the essence of the right system. We don't want to lay that track twice.

Dollar gains ground ahead of FOMC
FXstreet.com (Buenos Aires) - In a light volume session as market waits for FED announcement, greenback turned slightly positive against most rivals in the day, supported by falling stocks in the U.S., and gold price that lost some ground and quotes around 1007/oz.
Except Pound, majors remain close to daily lows against greenback that however remains generally weak across the board, and not so far from the year highs. EUR/USD keeps hovering around the 1.4760 area with immediate support around 1.4730, while GBP/USD attempts to break the 1.6400 level, looking for 1.6350. Seems unlikely major crosses will break current ranges until the release of FOMC Minutes, as investors will be looking for clues there to decide dollar destiny.

Local Corporation launched its Spreebird daily deals service in 2011, at the height of the daily deals craze.

Well, Spam is a meat product distributed by Hormel. Spam also happens to the term used for any unsolicited email. A better description of spam is email that is unsolicited and does not have a legitimate return address label. There are email messages that you receive that are still unsolicited; however, they are coming from legitimate sources.
There are many ways your email address could have been submitted to a list. First, you may have subscribed to an email distribution list or filled out an online form for a company that does not have a privacy policy. The distribution list owner most likely sold the list to an email distributor.
Another method is by specialized software that hunts for email addresses. The software is set loose on web sites, bulletin boards, Usenet, and other documents published on the internet. These address hunters, create their lists, and use them for email distributors.
Finally, there's the sneaky way... The spammers send a message to some list that they have. However, that list may have lots of invalid addresses. So, they clean it up by putting a link on the bottom of a message telling you to "click here" to remove yourself from the list. Once you click here, the spammer now knows that this was a valid address, and moves your email address to a "good" list.
With true spam, the return address is usually invalid. Therefore, it is difficult to determine who really sent it. Many times you'll see spam from Hotmail.COM or AOL.COM. These are just about impossible to trace without a lot of technical research to trace the message. These messages probably traversed many networks or even countries before it ended up in your Inbox.
Pennsylvania Crimes Code, Title 18, Chapter 76, Section 7661, which was introduced in 2003, addresses some issues with the transmission of electronic mail.
Campus policy restricts the sending of unsolicited email except when approved by department directors, chairs, deans, VPs, and the president. This policy can be found in the current Rams Eye View.
Email addresses can be added to the blacklist and whitelist individually or in bulk:

text: Ideas 11/14/201601/24/2017 by Elisa Gabbert On Choice . . . and what we don't know By Elisa Gabbert My library has a display shelf, near the main circulation desk, of recently returned books. I love this shelf. They're just random books, new and old — novels, cookbooks, photography books, biographies, how-to manuals, self-help. I often find something I want to read amongst them. It's anti-curation — my options are reduced, but there's no discernible algorithm behind the selection. They are not even recommended. It reminds me of a game my brother and I used to play in the backseat of the family car. We'd flip through a catalog from a toy store or Sharper Image and choose the one thing we most wanted from each full-page spread. In airport bookstores, my husband and I like to go row by row and choose which bestseller we'd read if we had to read one. We don't buy the books, of course; we've brought our own. As kids, we didn't get the toys. But the act of choosing was a form of entertainment. Choice itself is pleasurable.

Genre: Drama, Thriller

Henry Joost
Ariel Schulman
Duration: 96 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Jul 27, 2016
IMDb: 7.2
'Nerve' is a thriller directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, one which focuses upon a fictional yet plausible social media 'game' that involves an audience providing people with escalating dares in exchange for cash prizes.
It is an interesting premise that feels suitably modern, as well as being incredibly timely as internet 'challenges' and games such as 'Pokémon GO' have increased in popularity - bringing many tales of injury, criminality and other misfortunes with them. The conceivable premise is easy to get invested in, as the film often evokes contemplation about ourselves and our society in general; it isn't all that deep though, with the greater ideas never fully explored. On top of that, the narrative itself is actually paper thin with a number of prevalent plot holes. The significance of some elements is never explained or fully examined, leading to a series of plot-points that actually seem rather inconsequential.
The movie starts off on a weak note, coming across as generic and generally false. The opening uses a number of gimmicks that feel invasive and unnecessary, which end up feeling stylised simply for the sake of creating the pretense of individuality. However, these aspects are reeled back to the point where they help tell the story and aren't obtrusive, and once it settles into the second act the flick really comes into its own. This act is the best one, featuring a sense of adventure as well as a few moments of genuine tension. These moments are when the film is at its best, examining the dangerous and ill- advised nature of the dares themselves, but unfortunately don't come often enough. For the most part, the 'Nerve' game is somewhat glamourised and a lot of the risk is glossed over. An extended sequence featuring a motorcycle isn't as tense as it should be, partly due to the lack of tangible danger or consequences and partly due to the sense of invigoration - rather than fear - felt by the main characters. There are a few moments towards the end of the picture that actually chastise the anonymous nature of the internet, particularly when it is used to bully or harm, which don't come across as too overbearing and by that point in the narrative feel earned. The final act is pretty fragile in comparison the the one before it, easily breaking under scrutiny and coming across as quite contrived. The movie as a whole was devoid of surprises, meandered a little in places and had several fundamental issues which damage its credibility. The central mystery is set up as if it is going to have a big pay-off, but it actually falls rather flat and doesn't warrant the suspense given to it. It could've been dropped entirely, along with some other side-plots that didn't add anything. The plot-holes and missteps, as well as the failures of the base premise itself, aren't all that noticeable in the moment though; it is only upon reflection that they become obvious. Despite all of the problems, I did enjoy watching the picture and found honest entertainment in some of the set-pieces.
The characters themselves are decently realised, coming across as somewhat rounded and given just the right amount of characterisation. There is little development but all of it enhances the connection between the audience and the on-screen actors. The two leads are given the most time and are therefore the most complex and relatable; Emma Roberts and Dave Franco do a great job leading the picture. They have a good chemistry, even though Franco is in his thirties and Roberts is supposedly in high-school. Their interactions feel genuine at times, and they don't simply slot into a preset archetype - at least not always. There is some artifice used to make the characters seem real though, as well as some revelations that don't come across as well as they should. The other roles are all fairly minor, though the protagonist's best friend is more complex than she is initially presented. The cast do a good job of making each on-screen presence feel relevant and honest, they easily demonstrate the qualities of an admittedly stereotyped demographic. The writing is good here, a screenplay - based on the novel by Jeanne Ryan - by Jessica Sharzer manages to capture the modern premise and plot elements whilst still retaining a focus on character. There are no overtly cheesy lines and no obvious oddities or clearly 'written' snippets of dialogue, though initially there is a lot of exposition and most of what's said isn't particularly new; nothing really stands out, for better or worse.
In terms of the technical stuff, the majority of it is to a high standard. The cinematography is clean, if a little bland, and the editing is satisfyingly unnoticeable - as it should be. The direction itself is evidently favourable, with little 'shaky-cam' and clean framing. Nothing is especially different or quirky, but the shots are easy-to-read and the flick as a whole does a good job of bringing you into the story. I found the set-pieces to be well filmed and tightly edited, making use of practical stunt-work and wide angles to make them believable. The film in general has a tight pace, meaning that there is no time for boredom and no fat that could be trimmed. It tells its story in as little time as it needs, but this does mean that the ending appears quite abrupt.
Overall, 'Nerve' is a tightly paced thriller that's competently made and well acted; it is enjoyable to watch and has a few moments of genuine tension, even if there are several plot-holes and nonsensical aspects. I had disposable fun with this despite its issues, though it is a little unmemorable and generic: 7/10

finnex mighty ray enough light?
would 3 of these be enough but not too much light for a 12g long aquarium with mosses and anubias in it?
if not does anyone have any ideas what i could use? i dont want to inject co2 just excell.
I don't think it is the right amount of light. Sounds like an algae factory. I do not have any experience with them though
Might want to try fugeray 36", even that is still too bright for 12 gallon long. You can try rising the light or frogbit floaters to reduce the intensity.
Thanks guys, I am running a 1 bulb t5ho over the tank at the moment. Added in Riccia and red root floaters.
Seems to be working good.
a 1 bulb t5ho? That should be more than enough, is it a 36" fixture?
Yeah its a 36" oddysea fixture that I just popped one bulb out of, and it works with 1 bulb.
A friend of mine has this Mighty light and its spread is very narrow...I think it is more for Nanos that are deep not wide...I understand doing three but I'm with sayurasem on this one if you insist on switching lights. My friend ended up going with a couple Ecoxotic Stunner strips for his 12 long.
imo i'd stick with that single t5ho...especially if it is working!

M5's Carbon High Racer fastest bike again at HPV World Championships in Leer, Germany
Image: Jens SeemannStijn got his M5 Carbon High Racer a little more than half a year ago (before that he raced a Cr-Mo M5 Low Racer), but is already overall world champion on his new recumbent. And the best part is that this same bike is used for commuting, doing groceries and going on vacation.
Let us mention his sprinting speed at the 200 metre flying start, a stunning 68,926 km/h!! (42,44 mph)
This is almost hitting the top speed of two former champions Sam Whittingham and Bram Moens which was set on the HPV World championships in Eureka, USA in 1992 at 1000 meters above sea level.
Stijn told us that despite intensive cooperation among non-streamlined and half streamlined German competitors he still ended up first given the fact that all disciplines were equally counted.

A handful of major entertainment industry players — including NBC Universal, Paramount Pictures, the RIAA, Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, Dolby and Lionsgate — teamed up to back an initiative to develop a "buy once, play anywhere" standard for music and video sales.
Conspicuously absent from the group is Disney and Apple — both of which are married to iTunes and the proprietary format used for music and video sales on iTunes.
The new consortium, called Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, is working toward a uniform standard that can be used across multiple platforms to buy videos and music that can be played on different devices.
"This is great news for consumers hungry for access to a wider array of digital content they can enjoy on any device they own. We formed this consortium to give consumers that kind of power and choice," said Mitch Singer, president of DECE, in a prepared statement.
The group was rumored to be in the works for awhile — a little over a year ago Sony was reportedly working on a "challenge" to Apple.

Rajon Rondo Sent To NBA D-League
There is good new is Boston. Rajon Rondo is one step away from returning to the team.
Celtics announced earlier today that Rondo has been sent to D-League, to continue rehabbing his knee, and to get in better game shape before his imminent return.
The team made the following press release about the move.
The Boston Celtics announced today that they have assigned guard Rajon Rondo to the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Development League."Rajon is progressing terrifically in his rehab and this is the next step," said Danny Ainge, Celtics President of Basketball Operations. "This is a brief assignment so that Rajon can participate in a workout this afternoon with the Red Claws and he will be called back up to the Celtics upon the conclusion of the workout."
Rondo, a 6'1" guard, has not played in a game for the Celtics this season and is currently recovering from a torn ACL in his right knee. He appeared in 38 games for the Celtics last season and averaged 13.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 11.1 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.4 minutes per game.
The Celtics point guard hinted early yesterday that he may be back on the court this Friday for the first time in almost a year.

Last month we had the privilege of being a vendor once again at the Etsy Vancouver Made In Canada Market at Robson Square in Vancouver, BC. It was such a whirlwind day full of excitement! We were lucky that it was nice and sunny on that day despite being famously known as 'Raincouver'. There were plenty of shoppers that came to check out and support the local Etsy shops. Etsy Vancouver just recently released some stats and this year there were 4x the number of attendees than last year! We didn't get a chance to walk around to see all the vendors and our friends but we did manage to quickly check out the following Etsy shops:
Our dear friends Eli and Rach of OnanaKnits with their oh so cute pineapple keychains and adorable snug cozies. They can customize a snug cozy to your own choosing. Check them out here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/OnanaKnits

More drama, more music promised as hip hop drama 'Empire' returns
By Katherine Davis-Young
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Family conflicts, tempestuous romances and power struggles made hip hop show "Empire" the highest-rated new hit for Fox this year, and viewers can expect a lot more salacious drama in season two.
"If season one was built on the premise of 'who will inherit the throne?', season two is 'warring kingdoms,'" executive producer and writer Ilene Chaiken teased for reporters on Friday.
"Empire" returns to Twenty-First Century Fox's broadcast network on Wednesday after drawing an average of 17.3 million viewers per episode in season one earlier this year. The debut season followed the Lyon family as they attempted to cement their power in the world of hip hop.
"Empire" centers on drug runner-turned music mogul Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), who pits his three sons against each other with the promise that one will inherit his record company, Empire Entertainment.
But it's the show's intensely ambitious, prison-hardened, aggressive matriarch Cookie Lyon who has stood out, with actress Taraji P. Henson earning one of the show's three Emmy nominations in the best drama actress category for this weekend.
"In a matter of moments, (Henson) can go from the most raucous and flamboyant to the most heartwarming and touching," Chaiken said. "This character hasn't been on television before."
The show failed to pick up a best drama series Emmys nod but was nominated twice in the costume category.
The second season of "Empire" picks up three months after season one left off. Lyon is in prison on a murder charge, while his son Jamal (Jussie Smollett) is running his company. Continued...

I'm going to blame the last smiley for how un-smiley I feel right now. I'm not feeling like Gabby is, though. Not sicky kind of un-smiley. Like too hot and claustrophobic kind of un-smiley. I take off my hoodie and slouch into the chair, whining at no one in particular about how annoying this is. First drug crash, I guess.
I don't like it.
It doesn't feel so good.
I'm still too hot. Everything is really, really bright and I close my eyes, but it feels like the light on the bus is trying to stab my eyes out. How can you go from loving everything and being amazingly happy to feeling like your head is going to implode within seconds? I feel like someone stole the oxygen.
Gabby isn't much better either, heaving up in the bathroom. Ugh. I'm going back to being straightedge after this! Really. I'm going to ignore the weird craving I'm getting. I don't even know what I'm craving!
Oh. Water. And the craving to be touched. Like hugging kinda touched. That's not much of a craving is it? But then again, my head is pounding. I pull myself up, tripping over my jumper and pretty much falling into the little bathroom thing. I don't care; I crawl over to the little sink and stick my mouth under the tap. The little trickle of water is infuriating, but it's something.
After a while, Gabby stops puking and I stop trying to drink the water from the tap. I sit against the wall, my face screwed up in a grimace as my head threatens to dissolve or something. When I hear Gabby stop hurling, I look up.
'I need a hug,' I groan, not even caring about just how pathetic I sound.
'Why d'you want to hug me? I probably stink of sick and general grossness.' She says and I shake my head, instantly regretting it.
'I don't really care.'
'Okay then...' she looks kinda weirded out. I close my eyes, too tired to keep them open and lift my arms. She sits across my lap clumsily, and I put my arms around her, leaning my head forward into her side, smelling a mix of both myself and her and blood. Even like this, the hug feel amazing. Like the best thing ever. Her arms slip around me, too, and I think I fall asleep, but I can't tell - everything looked like a dream regardless of whether I was awake or not.

The Bank of England's latest special auction of three-month funding received the biggest demand yet as banks lined up for a liquidity injection amid panicky financial markets.
Demand for the £10bn of funding was the highest of the three auctions that the Bank has held since central banks around the world first announced co-ordinated action in November to try to ease inter-bank lending rates. Yesterday's operation received bids worth £16.93bn, compared with £13.13bn in January and £10.85bn in December.
Central banks are trying to encourage institutions to lend to each other in order to unglue the money markets, which have been paralysed by fears about banks' liquidity. But the auction could not prevent sterling three-month Libor, the rate at which banks lend to each other, rising to 5.9725 per cent from 5.95875 per cent the previous day.
An industry source said the auction was helpful, but was "pretty modest" given the current conditions in credit markets. The money is not offered cheaply and requires high-quality collateral, the source pointed out.
Analysts said the demand for longer-dated money suggested the Bank of England should make more of the funds available at its April auction. The Bank has said it will review the amount of three-month funds it offers at its April auction in light of yesterday's operation.
The Bank of England's main aim is to keep the overnight inter-bank rate close to base rate. The central bank injected £5bn of liquidity on Monday in an exceptional "fine-tuning" operation to try to ease a spike in inter-bank overnight rates.
The sterling overnight Libor rate was at 5.58125 per cent yesterday, down from 5.5875 per cent on Monday but still significantly higher than desired compared with the Bank's base rate of 5.25 per cent.
The auction was part of a concerted effort by the Bank, the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to inject liquidity and confidence into financial markets that have been shocked by the near-collapse of Bear Stearns, the US investment bank.
In an unusual move, Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, postponed a trip to the west Midlands yesterday "because he needs to be in London to monitor events", the Bank said. Mr King had been due to meet business leaders and visit one or two companies in the region. Mr King makes about 12 of the trips each year to find out what is going on in different regions of the country.
Banking stocks staged a partial recovery yesterday after the battering they took on Monday in the wake of the fire sale of Bear Stearns to JPMorgan. The big-gest gainer was Alliance & Leicester, which rose 8.4 per cent, with Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Barclays all rising by more than 4 per cent.
The shares rose partly because of better-than-expected results by Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs in the US. Both investment banks reported sharp falls in first-quarter profits on writedowns of mortgage-backed securities and leveraged loans, but investors greeted the results with relief after the panic of recent days.
Lehman, which has been the focus of investor fears after the downfall of Bear Stearns, said it had "a robust liquidity pool" of $34bn at the end of the quarter.
Markets went into panic after Bear Stearns agreed to be sold to JPMorgan for $236m (£117m), a fraction of its book value. The bank insisted last week that it was in good health, but fears among counterparties became self-fulfilling when lines of credit were pulled, pushing the bank towards insolvency.
Expectations of a significant interest rate reduction from the US Federal Reserve also boosted banking shares. While the 0.75 percentage point cut delivered last night after the UK market had closed was lower than some economists had predicted, financial stocks in the US did not give up their earlier gains.

I knew I was interested in girls ever since eighth grade, when I couldn't get my best friend off my mind. It bothered me so much that I denied it, to myself and to everyone around me, for six months. But I digress. I was nineteen, and had the worst reputation for breaking hearts in my graduating class. Not only that, but being a lesbian afforded me more bitterness and hatred than I already attracted by never calling the girls I screwed. Because I was friendly and charismatic and caring, almost all of the girls that I hung out with as "friends" ended up having feelings for me; then I got emotionally involved with them, screwed them over, lost friends, and the cycle started over. I was a train-wreck, but I played it off well enough that Ilookedstable and well-adjusted. My feelings were not generally a topic of conversation, and that was exactly the way I liked it.
These were the thoughts that were running through my mind as I was lying out beside my parents' pool. Sweat was pouring off of my body and seeping into the bright blue towel below me on this particular afternoon, and I remember cursing at Virginia's climate once or twice that day. Other than that, however, I was close to graduating, it was slowly edging into summertime, and I had no complaints. Just as I could have drifted off to sleep for a lazy afternoon nap, my cell phone buzzed around angrily on the concrete. I had been trying to relax, trying to move on from an entirely different break-up that had happened a month ago…well, two months. Or three. I couldn't be entirely sure at that point. I took a deep breath, drawing myself from the sun and the breeze and back to reality; the probable reality that my ex-girlfriend, Kayla, had texted me to tell me that she thought of another of my flaws to add to her list. I picked up the phone, keyed in a password, and unlocked the screen to open my unread text message.
Instead of my ex, I was relieved to find that it was just a close friend of mine, Victoria. Victoria was a loud, boisterous girl I'd known since she was shy and quiet. The text message in question read, "do u remember the girl i told u wanted to hook up with u". I remembered being in our school's gym at one point with her and my ex-girlfriend, yelling to make the conversation audible over the pep rally. Victoria had grabbed the collar of my button-down shirt and hollered, as if trying to intimidate a gorilla, "SOMEONE WANTS TO SLEEP WITH YOU, BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHO IT IS." I had been irritated at the time, but, of course, the day after I had forgotten, she'd come to remind me. I replied, "Yeah, why?"
It only took a few more seconds to receive the next: "well its emily and we are actually hangin out right now".
I didn't know Emily at the time, save for the fact that one of my best friends, Christie, dated her for about a year. I knew they had crashed and burned, and I remembered well the nights she'd wasted away crying, pining for the affection of a girl who had none to give. The words most frequently used to describe Emily, at least when I was around, were "bitch" and "psycho"; even so, I knew that those same two words were used to describe half the students in my high school, including myself. I sat up and pulled my knees up to my chest and considered what she had told me for a few seconds. There were two options. I could simply tell Victoria that I didn't want anything to do with Emily, explaining that I had just gotten over a bad break-up and wasn't sure if I wanted anything else. Or I could do what I always did in those situations to cope, which was to have a four-hour fling with someone who would end up hating me later for never calling them afterwards. That was what I had done after every other relationship. Hindsight being 20/20, each girl was clearly a rebound from the last. To clarify, my idea of "coping" was like using cocaine to get off pot, and using heroin to get off the coke. Maybe Emily and I had been doomed from the very beginning.
I would like to say that the reason I did the things that follow entailed something more than pure loneliness, but I wouldn't be telling the truth. Christie still slept with a teddy bear that Emily got her, still checked her online activities, still wrote her e-mails saying she missed her, and still tried to create a friendship between the two of them that would never be, and even being Christie's friend and confidant didn't keep me from going after her ex-girlfriend.
You don't have a whole hell of a lot of moral fiber when you're eighteen years old. Nothing is off limits.
I texted Victoria back and told her that if she wanted, she could give Emily my number and maybe we could talk a little, see how things play out. The next time my phone vibrated, it wasn't Victoria, but an unknown number. It read less like a casual hello and more like a novel, with "Emily, by the way" tacked on at the very end of line upon line of text that, to be honest, I didn't even really read. I do remember her explaining that Victoria was being stupid, but that if I was going to answer her text, we may as well shoot the breeze a bit. This was the highlight of the past couple of months for me, just that one text. In truth, it'd been years since I had been in a situation where I was single for more than a few months; I just couldn't do it. Sessions of therapy haven't pushed me any closer to an answer. All I've come up with is that some people hate to be alone, and I suppose I'm one of them.
Somehow, the conversation picked up more quickly than I thought. For being such a hit with the ladies, I was incredibly socially awkward, and, judging by the pattern of the other lesbians I met in high school, I had thought she probably was too. Our conversation over the next couple hours revealed that, strangely enough, we had almost everything in common. She and I both liked horror movies (and even had a few of the same favorites), we had similar taste in music, we grew up under nearly the same circumstances, we both intended to work with animals upon graduation. Perhaps the most surprising of all was that we were both fascinated by serial killers. (I'm told that's supposed to be a hallmark of losing your mind, but even now, I read up on famous murders every now and again.) I'd grown up hearing about Jeffrey Dahmer and The Green River Killer; my mouther devoured books about them day in and day out as if they were the very air she breathed, and "Hey, did you know that Ed Gein used human skin to upholster his couch?" was just casual conversation between the two of us.
As the moonlight danced on the carpet at the foot of the leather couch in the upstairs nook that I confidently called my own personal living room and the clock inched upon midnight, she sent me a message stating, "Hey, I'm really enjoying this conversation, but I'm also really tired. That being the case, do you think that maybe you'd want to talk to me tomorrow?"
"Sure," I responded, "I'd like that a lot." I said goodnight, and so did she. I recall wondering how long it had been since I had last fallen asleep smiling; I realized it didn't matter. I was now, and that was enough.
Emily and I's friendship (or blossoming relationship, if you want to go there) was casual, at first; she would text me, usually around mid-day, to say hello, and ask how I was. I'd say I was fine, better now that she was talking to me (more girls than you'd think will fall for that line) and she'd say good, so was she. We'd discuss her family, and my family, and how her childhood went. It was cute, it was simple, it was easy. She admitted she thought I was interesting, and she enjoyed talking to me, but not much else. There was no love-at-first-sight or any of that other bullcrap, and I'm still not convinced that exists anywhere except in C-list chick flicks, where the smiles are as fake as the breasts on the actresses. It was a slow process, and one that took the form of a competition for who could act most nonchalant, as I'm sure most relationships do.
It wasn't until a few days later that I found out that not only was Christie not over Emily, Emily wasn't completely over Christie, either. It had started out as a normal conversation between the two of us; the same things we talked about every day. I was sprawled out on the leather couch upstairs watching the Cosby Show and wondering where the remote control was when she explained to me, in detail, that she was fragile; not only was she 'fragile', but she still had "residual feelings" that "weren't a big deal". I told her it was alright, that I could understand; their relationship had lasted around a year, and that's hard to get over for even the most well-adjusted person. There's a rule of thumb somewhere, I believe, that says that heartache should taper, but should at least last half the length of the relationship. Emily and Christie had gone their separate ways a little under a month ago, and I was expecting this.
At about the same time as she responded saying she was surprised that I understood, Christie called me. I cleared my throat and answered.
"Hey, Olivia was wondering if you wanted to come over and have some pizza, maybe smoke a few cigarettes and watch a movie, or something." Her voice was flat, unrevealing. Olivia was a mutual friend of ours, someone I shared a statistics class with in my senior year. Hanging out at Olivia's house in front of the TV was pretty much routine for the three of us, but ever since I had started talking to Emily, I had slowly faded from them; I stopped dropping by, I stopped asking to go to the beach or to go play pool. I had assumed they had noticed, but was unaware of any emotion they had in response.
"Sure, yeah, that's fine. I'll be over in about twenty minutes, alright?"
"Yup." Click, dial tone.
Well geez, I thought, grabbing my keys from the coffee table and slipping my feet into my sneakers.Missed you too.
I pulled up in front of Olivia's house and ran up on the curb trying to park next to it. I cursed, slammed the door, and made my way to Christie and Olivia, certain I was due for a talking-to. Instead, however, I said my hellos, got my hugs from Olivia and Faith (a close friend of Olivia's), and was immediately yanked aside by Christie, in front of both of them. The room went quiet; Olivia's eyes went wide, but Faith's expression stayed the same; she was the only one in the room who hadn't been acting noticeably strange since I'd arrived. I thought nothing of it. I turned my eyes back to Christie and met her cold gaze with my own, and she beckoned me out onto the front porch.
The door slammed behind me. "Who do you…why…what…how did this happen, how do you even know her?" Christie ran a hand back through thin brown hair and her eyes softened, watering a bit before she blinked back tears. Shoving nervous hands into her jean pocket to pull out a pack of menthol Camels, she added, stuttering, "You know what she was to me. Youknowhow we were. We were together a year, we only broke up a month ago." Her thumb shakily found the flint wheel on her Zippo, and she lit her cigarette, blowing smoke as directly into my eyes as was possible. I tried to find some common ground in lighting a cigarette and smoking with her. Christie shook like a Chihuahua when she got anxious; her foot tapped rapidly on the concrete, her eyes moving like a hummingbird back and forth between dozens of monsters only she could see.
"Victoria. She told me Emily wanted to—well, she told me Emily was interested in me, so I gave her permission to give her my number.Sheapproachedme. I didn't approach her. I'm sorry. We aren't even really anything yet besides friends, don't worry, Christie." It was a lie, a shiver of guilt dropped down into my stomach, and I breathed in the nicotine a little deeper.
Christie took a smokeless breath, and let it out slowly as she looked up at the clouds rolling in over the trees. "She'll break you," she muttered, her tone surprisingly even after the few moments of shaky silence.
"She will break you." She said this emphatically, as if speaking to a confused child or an elderly man with a hearing problem. "She'll destroy you. She will absolutely tear you apart, and you won't know it's happening until it's too late." I noticed something then, in Christie's eyes, that I had never noticed in the four years I'd been acquainted with her. There was something that wasn't there, there was something missing. I couldn't put my finger on it at the time, but now, I've figured it out; there was a shine of some sort missing, a sparkle present in someone's eyes that only disappears after a heavy loss or a great sadness. I didn't know what to say to her.
After a few more moments of awkward silence, I said, "I can take care of myself, Christie. I appreciate your concern" - I knew it wasn't concern for my own safety or wellbeing - "but I think I can handle a seventeen year old girl on my own." I tried to smile to break the tension, but it didn't work. Christie dropped her cigarette to the concrete walk in front of Olivia's house, stepped on it to put out the cinders, turned, and, without another word, opened the door and shut it in my face.

This is How Real Vampires fight.Mature
Excalibur clashed against Nosferatus Death scythe and blue flames burst from the contact. "HA you think you can defeat me with your current power?" Nosferatu yelled. "Ah but you can't win buddy. If you strike me down here I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Dracula smiled. "Bull crap! If I strike you down here you will be as dead As those soldiers you slaughtered on the way here." Nosferatu said lulling the scythe away and swinging another attack aimed at Draculas neck.
"Oh by the way I forgot to thank you for the snacks" Dracula said deflecting the blade with Excalibur and followed up with a repost to the leg which was blocked by the handle of the scythe. The two fought fiercely but soon Nosferatu had batted Excalibur out of Draculas hand with his scythe. "Give up Dracula. Without your REAL soul weapon you have no hope of defeating me." Nosferatu laughed. "And without the need to protect something you can't hope to defeat me." Dracula yelled as he jumped into the air and grabbed The scythe blade by the top. Nosferatu jumped back but was not able to rip the scythe free from draculas hands. "Ha now we are both unarmed." Dracula said falling down back to the ground. "I can still beat you without my soul weapon." Nosferatu said. "The try. I welcome your attempt."
