Day TripperMature
Luke stayed awake all night, staring out the window, hearing noises from the street below. Andrea was fast asleep against him, her slow deep breaths calming his shattered nerves. The previous fortnight of being alone, barely getting any sleep, hearing the scuffles and other odd sounds kept him on edge. Even though he felt relatively safe in the suite, he still couldn't will himself to sleep.
As the sun began to rise over the grim landscape out the balcony doors, he thought about trying to stand up to stretch his legs. He groped around behind him for a cushion to put under Andrea's head and carefully slipped it between them. Then he carefully untangled her arms from around his shoulders and stood up, the blood rushing to his head, making him feel faint.
He flexed his toes in his boots and ran his fingers through his hair while he walked towards the kitchen, in order to assess the supply situation. He found Ian and Juan sitting at the large stainless steel island in the middle of the room, each with a cup of water, chatting quietly.
"You're up early socio," Juan said, taking a bottle of water a pouring Luke a cup.
"Thank you, what are you two talking about?" he asked, taking seat on a stool next to Juan.
"Well, we were just talking about what we should do today," Ian said slowly.
"Shouldn't we wait for Andrea to wake up before we talk about this?" Luke replied.
"Why?" Ian said defensively.
"We're just tormenta de ideas," Juan said quickly. Luke furnished him with a puzzled look, "Oh ... Brainstorming. Of course we were going to wait for you two."
Luke took a sip of his water and looked at Ian, who had become very interested in something under his finger nail. "So what have you two deci- come up with?"
"Well if we're going to make this ridiculous trek to Panacea," Ian began, "we're going to need to hoard for a couple of weeks to get enough stuff, right?"
"Yeah, lots of water and easy to carry food, bedding, cooking gear, decent shoes," Luke nodded.
"And guns. We got a few nice things yesterday, despite Juan's little breakdown,"
"We should go back there today and just ransack the place. Take everything, then bring it back here and then sort it out. We're safe here ... well, safer than being in an unlocked and huge mall."
"How are we going to get it all back here?" asked Luke.
"I was going to go around outside, try to find us some working coche's," Juan began but Luke was already shaking his head.
"The streets are completely backed up; you wouldn't be able to move."
"I know, hermanita," said Juan, annoyed. "That's when you joined us. I was thinking of shopping carts instead."
"Yeah that would work better."
There was a lull while the three men had a drink.
"Good morning boys," Andrea yawned at them as she walked in, a sheet wrapped around her even though she was clothed underneath, her naked feet slapping against the hardwood floor.
"Buenos dias novia," Juan said pleasantly, again pouring a cup of water.
"We have coffee you know." She said sitting next to Luke, "But thank you."
"What? Where?" Ian asked, "We couldn't find any!"
Andrea rolled her eyes and went to the cupboard under the island, right in front of Ian, pulled it open, "Hey careful!" and extracted a box of instant coffee sachets and a box of sugar packets, dumping them in front of him.
"Oh. Thanks."
"What were you three talking about anyway?" she asked, sitting back down.
"What we're gonna do today," Luke said to her.
"Oh. I thought we were going to go back to that mall today?"
"Sí, sí. We were waiting for you so we could decide when we should go," replied Juan.
"As soon as possible." Ian said tiredly.
"Yeah, that sounds good. What are we going to look for?"
They discussed what priority targets were and what peripheral items were. Andrea advocated strongly for any kind of sewing material and clothes, as they would be intensely useful for repairs on the go, which Juan and Luke agreed with but Ian was not very enthusiastic. Juan wanted to find medical supplies, Ian wanted camping gear and Luke just wanted anything useful. They agreed on everything everyone wanted to look for, including the guns, which were a given, and drew up a list. It was a big list, and would take a good couple of hours to scavenge all of it.
The only thing everyone opposed was cigarettes.
"Socios! Come on! I was saving that one yesterday for 2 weeks!"
"No Juan, they're bad for you!" Andrea said, completely shocked, "You're a nurse for crying out loud!"
"No time to look for them," Ian said flatly.
"No space to carry them. Plus they give you the shakes when you haven't had one in a while, we can't have that if you're going to get a gun, hommbry," Luke said, looking straight at him.
Juan stared at him venomously, "It's Hombre, puta. And if I find any I'm taking them."
They all pulled themselves up from the counter and got ready to head out. The sun was still low in the sky, the haze from continuing fires catching the light, turning the sky a sickly, pale yellow. They barricaded the balcony, closed all the curtains and shades, hid all their food, water and other gear in the back bedroom wardrobe, cleaned up any mess that would give any nosy people a clue that anyone had been there and locked the front door.
When they got to the bottom of the stairs, Juan wordlessly handed his empty backpack to Luke and went over to a vending machine. The other 2 stopped to watch what he was doing.
"Come on, we haven't got time for munchies," Ian said, re-adjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder.
Juan didn't reply and went to the side of it, resting his shoulder against the black metal siding and began heaving it.
"Juan you're just going to hurt your sho-," Luke began. The machine edged slowly at first, the heavy bottom making the whole thing tilt until Juan lowered himself and it crunched sideways. He got it moving and stopped where he though the stairs were. "Oh," Luke said simply.
"Ok, let's Vámonos!" Juan said, taking the bag back from Luke carefully. Luke turned around and wiggled his eyebrows at Andrea, who smiled back at him. Ian patted Juan on the back as he walked past him and held the front glass doors open as everyone traipsed out.
The trip to the mall went fairly uneventfully, if tensely. Luke took 'point', as he had the shotgun. They took a more rounded route, because Luke didn't want to come directly from A to B for some reason.
Ian followed behind them all, watching Luke suspiciously. The way he held the shotgun seemed trained. Mechanical. Where he would have been holding it against his shoulder, pointing it in front of him, Luke was holding it down and away from his chest. The butt only ever touching his shoulder when he held up his hand to get everyone to stop and he went off to check out a noise, or some movement from the corner of his eye. Several times he got them all off the street to hide behind a car or an alley way to check behind them. Always returning with a vexed and worried expression on his face.
"Socio, what's wrong?" asked Juan after the third time, annoyed at having to crouch so often.
"I don't know. I think I'm tweaking, could have sworn I heard something back there." He shook his head and motioned for them all to get moving again.
"Tweaking?" Juan said to himself as he trudged off again.
Luke had nothing to worry about though.
They didn't see any other survivors. They didn't see any looters. They didn't see any other sickos.
All they saw were silent vehicles and rotting bodies that littered the streets. The smell made Andrea and Ian gag, but Juan and Luke didn't seem to be bothered by it. The enormity was finally starting to dawn on everyone.
This was the end of the world.
The journey took them a little over an hour at their slow pace. When they finally found it again, it took them another 10 minutes to find the already broken door. Luke and Ian went in first to take a look around and make sure it was empty this time. Again nothing. Ian whipped a hand out the door and beckoned them in.
First on the list were dollies and carts, anything with wheels that could hold stuff. If they couldn't find anything suitable, the trip here would be all for nought.
Juan found a couple of deep, wide bins that looked like industrial laundry trolleys. He pulled them out and Andrea took one of them, following behind Luke and Ian. They found the hunting, camping and fishing store from the day before, and still looked as though it was just as impenetrable as last time. But they were relatively certain they were alone, and they had all day this time.
Ian went off to find a crowbar or something to lever the bars with, while Juan and the others stood in front of it, looking for any point of weakness.
"Hey you two!" Andrea said excitedly.
Juan and Luke both came over and looked at where Andrea was pointing. "What?" Luke asked.
"I think I can squeeze through those if we can move this cage a little bit. See the gap just behind it?"
There was enough space behind the cage for a very small person to get to the front door.
"It's no use, the front doors are padlocked. Even this," Luke lifted the shotgun a little bit, "won't punch through that."
"Not the front door, there!" she pointed again right in front of her.
Behind the cage and the heavy plate glass was what looked to be a 7 foot tall, stuffed grizzly. Its arms positioned un-naturally above its head, as though it was trying to fly. Between its legs was a tiny gap that Andrea was confident she could get through.
"How are we going to get through the glass?" Andrea said, more to herself than anyone.
"Well actually, the shotty would work here," Luke said.
"Save your rounds," Ian said coming up behind them with a very heavy looking, long, tyre iron. "Use this instead."
He stooped in front of the glass window behind the cage, closed his eyes and turned away, shielding his face. He back-handed the tyre iron into the plate glass again and again. At first it just bounced off, but he hit the sweet spot with the third strike, splintering the glass window. His continued beating made the shop window explode into huge, very dangerous, jigsaw pieces, crashing to the ground.
Luke kept a watchful eye out while Juan and Ian knocked out the rest of the glass, the loud sounds he was sure would draw some attention to them. A noise from behind made him whirl around to see Andrea giggling, holding the bar of metal, smashing glass away from the pane.
She looked up at Luke who smiled in mock exasperation. "What?" she asked, "it looked like fun! How often do you get to smash a window and not get sent to gaol?"
"Good thing I brought this," Juan said, joining Andrea with a weighty looking quilt. "Wrap this around you so you don't cut yourself."
"You sure you can fit?" Ian asked sceptically.
Andrea whipped around, the quilt billowing around her like heavy wings. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked darkly.
"Nothing, go for it!" Ian said quickly, bending to help Juan lift the cage to give her enough space to get behind it.
After much swearing and many small cuts, Andrea made it into the Sporting Goods store. It was dark, and they didn't have any flashlights. She was nervous and could only see her companion's silhouettes through the cage.
The first thing she went looking for were bolt cutters so that the others could get inside as well. Instead, she found the keys behind the counter, and the doors and lights switch. She flipped them hesitantly, scrunching her eyes up as the harsh fluorescent lights flickered on and cage began to creak and groan in its hinges.
She heard Ian yell in surprise outside. "Watch where you point that thing man! Jesus Herbert Walker Christ!"
"Could you let us know when you're going to do stuff like that please Andrea?" Luke asked in an irritated tone. "Stop whining Ian, I didn't shoot you, did I?"
"Sorry! Sorry!" Andrea called from behind the counter.
"Nice job novia!" Juan said happily as she unlocked the doors and they all stepped inside.
The shop owners had obviously rifled through the shelves in a hurry, leaving behind a gold-mine of equipment. Andrea happily sorted through hiking gear and emergency rations, Ian grabbed the few tents and sleeping-bags that were left, while Luke and Juan stood in front of a wall of glass, behind which sat some hunting knives and guns.
There weren't many, the proprietors had bagged most of the shotguns and rifles, but the weapons remaining made Luke feel infinitely more comfortable. Juan was making a giggling, deep breathing sound, disbelief coursing through him.
"Hermano ...," Juan said quietly.
"Jesus Christ," Luke breathed in agreement.
Upon the wall sat two Ruger 12 gauge sports pump-action shotguns, and a Browning AR Safari rifle. They broke open the glass and took them down, also grabbing a machete and a skinning knife from the case. Luke went to the stores room, searching for ammo and after rifling through a few crates he found some. Not much though, only 3 boxes of 12 gauge and 2 boxes for the BAR, about 130 rounds in all.
As he was heading back through the dusty shelves he thought he saw movement out of the side of his vision. He turned and saw the back of a man dressed in desert fatigues. Luke took a hesitant step forward and reached out for him, but the man moved just out of reach. Luke took another step, his boots scuffing gently in the dense air.
"John?" His voice was absorbed by the darkness, the man continued as if he hadn't been called.
"John." Luke said, this time with a tone of expectation, willing him to turn around.
The man took another step and fell to his knees, blood and bone spraying Luke's face. A split second later he heard a tremendous crack in the distance, echoing through the dark store-room.
Luke didn't flinch as he heard the bullet sing through the air. John's head was torn by the blast and strewn across the ceiling and the walls. He stood silently as blood trickled down his face, breathing hard.
"Luke?" came Andrea's voice from the door way, "Are you alright?"
Luke stared wildly towards where the voice had come from. When he looked back down, John's body had disappeared, the blood gone from the walls. Luke felt his face, damp with sweat. Water dripped onto his nose and he looked up; a leaking fire-sprinkler was directly above him. He wiped it away, staring at the nozzle.
"Luke?" Andrea said hesitantly, touching him on the shoulder. Luke flinched and shook his head.
"Yeah? Yeah," he said quickly, "Yeah I'm fine. Let's get this done and get back to the hotel." He smiled perfunctorily at Andrea, who was looking at him strangely. He didn't move, staring at the pool of water under the sprinkler.
"Luke? What's wrong?" Andrea asked quietly.
He continued to staring at the ground, "Yeah ... Let's go" he said distantly, walking past her.
Andrea watched him leave, not sure if he'd heard anything she'd said. She turned her gaze to the same puddle, watching the drips falling rhythmically into the growing pool for a few seconds, then followed him silently.

Rookie Loupe sets early pace at rain-hit Pebble
(Reuters) - PGA Tour rookie Andrew Loupe stole the limelight from some of golf's biggest names by charging into an early two-shot lead in the rain-delayed opening round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Thursday.
The 25-year-old American, who has missed the cut in all six of his previous starts on the U.S. circuit, fired an eight-under-par 63 at Monterey Peninsula Country Club, one of three venues being used for this week's event.
Loupe, who tied for sixth at the Web.com Tour's season-ending Tour Championship to earn his card for the 2013-14 PGA Tour, birdied five of his last nine holes on the easiest of three courses to soar to the top of the leaderboard.
"I just keep telling myself, you're supposed to be here, you're going to play good, just keep playing," Loupe told reporters after his flawless eight-birdie display.
"And this is just one round, guys, you know, but I feel good."
Australian Stuart Appleby, who carded a six-birdie 65 on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula, was one of five players knotted at six-under before play was suspended for the day in fading light.
Level with Appleby were compatriot Scott Gardiner, who also started out at Monterey Peninsula, and Americans Jimmy Walker, Jim Renner and Richard H. Lee.
FedExCup points leader Walker returned a 66 on the hosting Pebble Beach Golf Links while Renner and Lee both shot 65s on the Shore Course.

Verona secures funding commitments to help progress RPL554
20 June 2016 • Author: Victoria White, Digital Content Producer
Verona Pharma has successfully secured funding commitments to raise gross proceeds of c. £44.7 million through a conditional placing with new and existing investors.
The cornerstone investors in the placing are specialist healthcare focused funds Vivo Capital, OrbiMed and Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners. Other new investors include New Enterprise Associates, Novo A/S, Abingworth and Aisling Capital with participation of existing investors including Arix Bioscience, Hargreave Hale and Polar Capital.
The net proceeds of the placing are expected to fund RPL554 through a Phase IIb clinical trial in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and additional Phase II studies in both COPD and cystic fibrosis. It will also support further preclinical work.
RPL554 is a dual phosphodiesterase PDE3/PDE4 inhibitor with both bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties that has the potential to become a novel treatment for patients with obstructive lung diseases. Furthermore, based on data generated to date, Verona Pharma believes RPL554 can provide relevant clinical and health economic benefits in a commercial setting.
Retaining maximum value in the Company
Commenting on the news, Jan-Anders Karlsson, CEO of Verona Pharma, said: "The funds raised from the placing will allow the Company to focus on conducting a comprehensive Phase IIb clinical trial programme for nebulised RPL554 as a potential treatment for patients with COPD. We will also explore in the clinic for the first time the use of RPL554 as a novel treatment for cystic fibrosis expanding the potential of the drug into another respiratory disease where there remains a significant unmet need. This follows on from the compelling data we have generated in translational, preclinical models of this disease."
David Ebsworth, Non-Executive Chairman of Verona Pharma added: "This funding will enable us to progress RPL554 through significant value inflection points. The strength of the data package for the product generated to date gives us confidence that a substantial placing provides the optimal opportunity to retain maximum value in the Company without compromising our future strategic options."
MTS Securities, LLC is acting as the US placement agent and N+1 Singer is acting as the UK broker and nominated adviser in connection with the placing. The placing is not being underwritten.

Scott ups his bid for Player of the Year award
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
ATLANTA (Reuters) - A late birdie blitz by Adam Scott rocketed the Australian into contention for the elite Tour Championship on Thursday, and gave him timely momentum in his bid to earn the PGA Tour Player of the Year award.
Coming into this week's PGA Tour season finale at East Lake Golf Club, the Masters champion had stated his burning ambition to be considered for the accolade but conceded that only victory here would thrust him into the conversation.
Scott certainly made sure he was a talking point after the opening round as he reeled off six birdies in seven holes from the 10th on the way to a five-under-par 65 to finish a stroke behind pacesetting Swede Henrik Stenson.
"I feel like my game's in good shape, and it was nice to kind of open up a little bit on the back nine and take advantage of some good shots," Scott told reporters after coming home in six-under 29 after lying one over at the turn.
"It was a tale of two nines, there's no doubt. I didn't start the way I wanted ... I missed three greens with wedges on the front nine and wasted all my chances to score.
"Then I hit two good shots into 10 and rolled in a putt in which calmed me down, and then I just went and played, and played the way I felt I could."
Though three rounds remain to be played in the fourth and final FedExCup event of the year where a $10 million bonus goes to the overall winner, Scott is excited to have the chance to advance his claims for Player of the Year. Continued...

The City
Mississauga is an urban city. It's pretty safe once in a while. I can't say Mississauga is super safe, or super dangerous. I love Mississauga because that's where I grew up. A lot of people grew up in Mississauga, and other different parts in the country.
In 2006 Mississauga had over 670,550 people living in it. That's a lot of people for such a small city like Mississauga. Believe it or not Toronto has over 2 million people living in it.
Our goal in Mississauuga is to keep our city family freindly home. Also let's try to keep our home an environmental home.

Shot down in 1941 flying his Spitfire while on a photo reconnaissance mission, Sydney Dowse, after his capture, made a number of escapes and was then sent to Stalag Luft III. He was among the men who dug the tunnel from which the escape of 76 prisoners took place in 1944, the mass breakout which was immortalised in the film The Great Escape in 1963. After 14 days of freedom, Dowse was captured and sent to the "death camp" Sachsenhausen, from which he also escaped – albeit for a short while. Although he endured four years of captivity, his ebullient spirit was never diminished.
Sydney Dowse was born in Hammersmith, London in 1918 and educated at Hurstpierpont College in West Sussex. In 1937, looking for adventure, he joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve where he learnt to fly. In September 1939 he was called up and soon completed his flying training. Bored with flying Ansons on submarine patrols, Dowse wanted action and after converting to the Spitfire, joined the reconnaissance force which was observing the movement of German Capital Ships.
On 21 September 1941 he had been monitoring the progress of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau when he was shot down over Brest. He managed to bail out but hurt his leg on landing. After treatment he managed to escape from the hospital, only to be caught on the Dutch-German border. He was sent to Stalag IX C, but by shuffling along with a working party he managed to escape and travelled by train to near the Belgian border. Sensing that the train would be checked by guards, he decided to walk the rest. The conditions were appalling and he was overcome by exhaustion and eventually arrested.
He was then sent to Oflag VI B and soon became involved with tunnelling. Spotting his determination to escape, the Germans transferred him to Stalag Luft III at Sagan. There, an escape committee under the chairmanship of Sqn Ldr Roger Bushell decided on a clear strategy, the building of three tunnels named "Tom", "Dick" and "Harry". It was always sensed that Harry would be the most successful, as it was being dug to emerge into the forest on the north side of the camp. When not digging, Dowse charmed a gullible clerk in the census office into providing his chums with documents and clothes.
It was decided by Bushell that 24 March 1944, a moonless night, would be the date for the escape. Over 500 men, many of whom had worked on the tunnel, wanted to escape. But Bushell limited it to 200. Dowse joined the first 30, all of whom spoke German. Once they had crawled along the tunnel, which was a meagre 2ft by 2ft, and 336ft long, difficulty was found in breaking out because the trap-door was frozen.
When the escapers broke through, they found the exit was 25 yards short of the forest. This slowed everything as the watchtower was close by. But within four hours, 76 men had escaped. Dowse had teamed up with a Pole, Krol, and intended to head with him for Poland where, with the help of the resistance, he planned to make his way back to England.
After a tough 14 days, and with the Polish border in sight, they were discovered in a barn and recaptured. Dowse was interrogated in Berlin and sent to Sachsenhausen. His fellow escapee Krol was one of the 50 who were taken to a field and executed. This murder of fellow airmen outraged Dowse.
Using the only tools available, a spoon and kitchen knife, he was one of the five who broke out of the camp, having dug a 100ft tunnel. They were caught after a few days, interrogated and manacled to a concrete floor. They were released after five months of solitary confinement and, with the Allies pushing ever forward, they were moved to Dachau. Dowse was liberated by the Americans in May 1945. After recuperation he was released from the RAF having been awarded an MC for his courage and persistent determination to escape.
Interviewed many years later this lively and dapper man, who possessed an indomitable spirit, said of the Great Escape: "What drove us was freedom, just freedom. Even if we didn't get to England we could be free for a few days. Planning an escape was something to do. Plus the fact that we caused havoc for the Germans."
His passion for life stayed with him to the end. He had an interesting career in the Colonial Service, kept in touch with Great Escape survivors, had many adventures and retained a love for rugby and the Harlequins.

Website tells you best time to use bathroom during a movie
Don't you hate it when you're in the middle of a movie, but that 96-ounce soda you bought has you dying to go to the bathroom? RunPee.com is a movie review site, but unlike Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, it simply tells you the best spots in a film to make a bathroom dash. For example, the best times to go during How to Train Your Dragon 2 are 40 and 56 minutes into the film.

I've never been really comfortable with tipping for counter service, since there's really no service involved. In France, for example – where the service is included in the price – the price for a drink is cheaper at the counter/bar, as opposed to a table. It's understood that you pay more at the table because you're paying for the service. (And of course, no tip is anticipated.)massimo wrote:Guess it does make sense that a good tip up front would encourage good work. I suppose I already do this at coffee shops or anywhere else with counter service.
But, coming from a service background, I tend to accommodate the barista even if that means I'm really just subsidizing the employer. What I'd love to to see is a kind of matching grants setup where the employer is obligated to match any tips from customers. The logistics seem forbidding, but yo, I'd be far more generous if I knew such a system were in place.
(And for those complicated frou-frou coffee drinks that take much effort and time to make, I think the customer ought to tip those who are behind them in line.)

The World's Other sideMature
The World's Other Side is a 100, 000-word alternate history novel about minority rights, religious extremism, love, and flying robots. You can learn more about it at http://bensen-daniel.deviantart.com/gallery/27912685
Chapter 1
George delivered justice with a bottle of burning gasoline.
The home-made grenade traced an arc of fire through the air, as neat as a line drawn by a compass. George heard the bottle punch through the window and reached back for another.
"I still say we should kill him for what he did." Henry-Stephen slapped another sloshing bottle into George's hand. "I know Molly. Know her family."
"So do I, but it's too risky." George unfolded his plasma lighter, and applied its flaring tip to the to the oily rags spilling out of the neck of the bottle. "Besides, a man like this keeps his soul in his wallet." He selected one of the triangular skylights, high up on the curved roof of the pagan's townhouse. "This way, we hit him where it hurts." Another trail of fire, then the tinkle of glass.
The Ilinwa man who lived in this house was wealthy. Wealthy enough to afford such a large place in downtown Shikaakwa. Wealthy enough to employ a housekeeper, albeit a Christian one. Wealthy enough to buy off the police after he had raped her, and then beaten the hell out of her. Molly had been in sick-bed for a week, and looked to stay another.
Another bottle. Flames jetted up out of the little triangular windows around the pole of the house's domed roof.
"This doesn't seem like enough, somehow," said Henry-Stephen.
"I know." George took the bottle from his friend and lit it. This time he aimed for one of the larger window-clusters, a place where four of the triangles of the geodesic had been paned with glass.
This was only small restitution for the pagan man's crimes. Perhaps if George had caught this bastard with Molly, he could have offered more immediate and appropriate justice. With a mallet, perhaps. George clenched his teeth. He could almost feel the man's skull crack.
Sirens interrupted his imagination. George glanced back. Only three bottles remained in Henry-Stephen's sack, but the Ilinwa police approached in their cursed drones, those metal and plastic avatars that slid over the streets on their cushions of air and lightning. "Let's go." George snapped his plasma-lighter back together, and waved away the next bottle. "Pack it up. There mustn't be any evidence."
Packing was the work of seconds. Henry-Stephen hoisted his sack onto his shoulder, one hand still clutching a bottle-grenade.
"Throw that one if you want." George hopped onto his two-man air-bike, and yanked hard on the chord. The machine's little gas motor coughed, then roared, then settled into its normal purr. Flywheels spun. The air crackled as George lifted into the air.
The air-bike rocked under Henry-Stephen's weight. "All right! Let's go!"
George pushed the pedals. His bike rose and shot forward in a single smooth arc, like a thrown grenade.
They darted through backstreets, heading south and east. Henry-Stephen laughed. "Another perfect retribution! You're a God-damned genius, George."
"Am I?" George yelled over the howl of wind, "and don't swear."
"Oh I'm sorry, Father George!" his friend gave the honorific a sarcastic slant. "What would your teachers at the seminary say if they could see you now?"
George felt Henry-Stephen move behind him, swing his arm. Over the growl of his gas-powered air-bike and the rising wail of the sirens, he heard the last bottle smash against something.
"They would weep," he said. George twisted the handles, and he and Henry-Stephen shot away into the night, toward White-town.
The passenger projectile sank into the landing Grid of Shikaakwa International Airport with an electric hiss.
Bounce Nakmara Three-five-four leaned forward against the insistent deceleration and grinned.
Out the window, beyond the crackle and flare of the Grid, there was Shikaakwa. The Ilinwa Republic. The other side of the world. She had finally arrived.
"We have been safely caught by the landing Grid," said a voice in her ear-bud, "but please do not manually release your crash-netting." The projectile rocked a little, and Bounce heard clunks from below as the landing legs touched the tarmac. "You will be free to collect your luggage and move about the cabin once the projectile has been completely degaussed." A crackle and spark from the window. "The captain and crew wish to thank you for flying with North-West Rail-gun Airlines. Local time is six pm, and the date is 16 Zip 220.127.116.11.8. For our connecting passengers, good luck on your next launch, and if this is your final destination, welcome to Shikaakwa."
The crash-netting snapped away from Bounce's belly and shoulders. She rose, rubbing her squished breasts. Around her, other passengers were doing the same. Rising, that is. As far as Bounce could see, large breasts were her curse alone. Brown-skinned, blank-faced Americans stretched lanky limbs and rearranged elaborate skirts and hair-dressings, while Bounce's fellow Gondwanans, rubbed at their bare chests and bellies, facial blots writhing. A few were re-greasing themselves right there in their seats or the aisle, using the complementary bottles provided by the Rail-gun Airline. Not Bounce, though. Bounce wanted to get out of this freaking projectile.
The terminal was crowded and mundane. Fall where it was spring in Gondwana, decorated with North American motifs in black and red, but there were still customs inspectors, and a baggage claim, and a physical sign in three languages reminding patrons to reactivate their coms.
Bounce's hand went to the fat crescent of wood-colored plastic hanging at the base of her throat. She slid her fingers across the com's upper surface and held her hand in front of its camera eyes. She waited until it vibrated, then signed a series of commands into the cameras. The machine buzzed again, and her wireless ear-buds chimed. In her lower peripheral vision, her opticals flashed.
Bounce couldn't help but grin as her field of vision filled with messages and notifications, pings from her automated luggage, and augmented reality pop-ups. She was really here. Logging on in Ilinwa.
And there, prioritized over the well-wishing texts from her Gondwanan family and friends, were the messages from the university. <Welcome to the Teach Gondwanan Abroad Program!> <Teacher-in-training Orientation Schedule: Please Read!><Culture Shock Seminar: Dealing with Ilinwa. Attend? Yes/No><Standing call request: NEW ADVISEE, PLEASE CALL IMMED. Sig. Grandstand Japaljarri Outngelekenhe Akampele Rrakarrulerenye Five-eight-six-six.>
Bounce's grin widened. She had a personal message from her advisor, a schedule of study and work prepared for her, a new country and culture to explore, a new life and new opportunities just waiting for her to step up.
Her glee lasted right up until she actually called her advisor.
"A home-stay program? What home-stay program?"
A blot of dark skin rose over Grandstand Japaljarri Five-eight-six-six's right eye. "I thought you would be pleased, Bounce."
The professor floated in the chat window projected by Bounce's opticals, a mound of greased, pale flesh nestled in the cup of his tastefully wood-trimmed cradle in a university office.
"I…" Bounce tried to look away, but the chat window only followed her gaze across the curving transparent sleeve of the air-taxi. "I…" I'm not a college student any more, Professor Grandstand, she wanted to say. But what was this teach-abroad program, really? Another year of college. An antechamber between the pampered college hothouse and the freezing reality of the outside world. She had applied for this program precisely because she couldn't handle being a real adult yet, so why should she complain if her advisor wasn't treating her like one? "I suppose it'll be a good opportunity to improve my Ilinwa."
"Ilinwa?" Professor Grandstand blinked golden eyes at her through his window. He was Gondwanan, and his soft bulk combined with his symmetrical, chocolate-colored facial blotting to give the man the look of a confused pudding. "Oh I see." <No> He signed the negation in Gondwanan hand-talk.
"'No' what?" Bounce turned back to the taxi's optical pickups, looking her advisor in the eyes.
"You won't be with an Ilinwa family," he said. "You're staying with the…" <ahem> He closed his eyes, reared up from his cradle, and enunciated the foreign name with a philologist's relish. "…Miller family."
"Mee-what?" Bounce's elation was wearing off fast. The Shikaakwa streets rushing by under the automated taxi looked just like the streets of any Gondwanan city, only dirtier. "That doesn't sound…I mean, what kind of name is that?"
"An English one." In the chat window, Professor Grandstand settled his manifold bulk back onto his cradle's chest-plate. He glanced at her through the window. "English?" He repeated, then grunted. "You don't recognize the name?" His blotting stayed carefully neutral, but his hands twisted to sign, <Disappointing…>
"Is that another Algonquian ethnicity?" Bounce nervously adjusted her ochre hair ornaments and smoothed out of the quills of her skirt. Algonquian people of whatever nationality were notorious sticklers for appearances, and they traditionally wore way more clothes than was usual in Gondwana. Bounce fiddled with the com hanging over her greased-up breasts. She hoped she was dressed up enough to meet her host family.
"Bounce," came Professor Grandstand's voice, inescapable, in her ear-buds. "I am a professor emeritus of the Languages of the Germanic Diaspora."
Yes, and what on earth was a Germanic languages specialist doing in North America? Bounce had wondered before, but only now did she recognize the warning sign. Because Professor Grandstand couldn't hack it in competitive Gondwana, and the real Germanic people in their reserves in Western Eurasia would have eaten him for breakfast. Maybe literally.
"English," he repeated. "The indigenous people of the island of England, off the northwest coast of Eurasia. They are extinct over there, but a large group was relocated to North America back in the tenth Baktun to work in the colonial timber plantations in what is now East Algonquia."
"Oh, I see," Bounce closed her eyes. The twenty-hour projectile flight settled on her like warm plastic wrapping. "You mean," she said, "Aggilisk?"
"I used their endonym," <Of course.> Professor Grandstand signed, his fine blots spreading in a patronizing smile.
<But> Bounce's hands flailed weakly. "I don't speak Aggilisk!"
"English," he corrected, moving his hands into a <take note> sign. "And it shouldn't be difficult for you. You've studied the Germanic Languages."
"I've studied a Germanic language!" Bounce's hands twitched <for like a year> before she could stop them. <Crap> she signed.
Professor Grandstand frowned and wriggled against his cradle. <Harrumph!> Light gleamed on the grease over the blotted folds of his torso as he signed. "Your resume said specifically…" <command: display: Bounce Resume: Yes> Her advisor's eyes flickered behind the old-fashioned lenses of his LCD opticals as he scanned her documents. "…ah, I see. Germanic Studies Intro., 9 Oc 13 Kayab… fall semester? So you only have six months of study." <What was it,> his eyes focused on her chest. <A Goth boyfriend?>
Bounce fought the childish impulse to fold her arms over her breasts. Several uncomfortable seconds clomped by before Professor Grandstand sighed. "Well, you're still the best qualified post-grad for the position. Not that Gothic is particularly similar to English." <command: message: will you accept a download?>
Bounce signed that she would.
"Here are the documents about the program," said her advisor. "Your schedule is on top, then the contact information for the Millers. Actually," he coughed, causing the blots on his chest to jiggle, "just their address. The Millers aren't really on the Grid."
<WHAT> Bounce's hands spasmed. Not on the freaking Grid? Did these people live in a cave or something?
"Don't worry," said Grandstand. "I've even appended an English phrasebook."
A red light blinked in Bounce's lower peripheral vision. <Got it> her numb fingers formed the signs, <thank you.>
<You're welcome> "And I suppose I can arrange remedial English classes for you with one of my graduate students."
On top of the Gondwanan classes she was supposed to teach?
"You'll learn fast, I'm sure," said Professor Grandstand, completely misinterpreting her expression. "And I'm sure you'll find English to be a fascinating language. No grammatical gender, nearly extinct conjugation and declension. Its morphology is nominative, of course, but in many ways…"
Bounce's academic instinct finally came to her rescue. While her body nodded and smiled, and even command-signed notes to her com, her mind began the task of destroying and re-assembling her preconceptions.
So. No dorm. No room-mate. No networking for that job she might eventually want to get. A commute between campus and wherever-it-was this taxi was taking her.
But on the other hand, what was she here on the other side of the world for? And west-Eurasian culture was certainly fascinating. The Goth boy had been a pretty good lay, too. She wouldn't mind trying Germanic again. Bounce smiled in earnest.
<Excellent!> Professor Grandstand signed his approval. "You should be excited about this opportunity! Nobody else in the Gondwanan program will get their names in the journals, after all."
"Names…?" Bounce said blankly, before her eyes scanned back over the notes she had taken and she understood what her advisor had been talking about. "Oh! You're going to publish my…findings?"
"You can give me a double-sized report next week. I imagine you'll be too busy settling in to make one before the end of this week," said Professor Grandstand.
Reports?! Bounce did not say or sign. She wasn't this man's grad-student! She was supposed to be learning how to teach Gondwanan to Ilinwa students! But… "That would be generous," she said instead. Crap on a cracker, she needed this lazy idiot."Uh, if that's everything…"
<Yes, yes> he signed some commands to his com. Bounce's taxi's trip-information window flashed. "You're almost at the Miller family's residence."
Outside the taxi, the neighborhood had become distinctly seedier. The glass and cement cylinders and domes of downtown Shikaakwa had been replaced by squat wooden and brick structures, weirdly rectilinear. Trash swirled through the air, and thin, cloth-covered children turned blank, blotless faces up toward her taxi.
"…should probably change."
"What?" Bounce focused back on the chat window.
Her advisor's blots furrowed over his brows. "I said you should change, Bounce. The Millers, like most of their community, are superstitious. They belong to the cult of Iesous Khristos." His eyes went to her chest again. "You did bring a shirt, didn't you?"
"A what?"
"A shirt," Grandstand repeated. "It's the English word for the chemise. Do you have one?"
"No!" Said Bounce, horrified. "They force women to wear the chemise here? This is Shikaakwa, not…not Roma!"
A comma-shaped blot over Professor Grandstand's right eye twitched. "I expect my advisees to be more open-minded, Bounce. You will be living with these people."
And doing your freaking field-work for you, you lazy, washed-up hack! Bounce did not say it.
She looked out the window and tried to control her breathing. Eurasians? The Goth boy had been interestingly exotic, but he had been third generation Gondwanan. He spoke her language and had no problem at all with bare breasts.
But real Eurasians? Superstitious Eurasians? Yes, she could see one now on the street, its gender impossible to distinguish under folds of choking fabric. Shrouded like a corpse, it scuttled across the street, long hair the unnatural color of sand whipping behind it. The figure looked up at the passing taxi and Bounce caught a glimpse of a face as pale and blotless as the underside of a snail.
No, the thought was unworthy. Bounce wasn't a racist person. It was just that Bounce heard "Eurasian" and all she could think of now were the Eurasians she'd seen on the news. Women in the chemise. Men in the chapeau. Superstitions. Cults to this or that ancient charlatan. Exploding embassies in Turitg. Riots in Yanjing. And, more to the point, bare-chested female tourists beaten to death in Roma and Yerusalem by fanatical cultists.
"I'm sure I mentioned this in the documents I sent you," said Professor Grandstand, then his hands came up in a letting-go sign. <No matter> "You don't have time to stop to buy something now. You're already late to their evening meals, and they'll be upset if you make them wait further. Hospitality rituals you know."
"Oh," Bounce felt dizzy. "Hospitality rituals. You aren't going to introduce me, at least?"
Professor Grandstand signaled negation with a twitch of the hand. "I don't think personal introductions are necessary."
The taxi was slowing. Stray dogs scattered as she settled to the ground. Boxy wooden structures leaned drunkenly toward a single mid-sized energy pylon in a shabby central square.
"Have fun, Bounce," Professor Grandstand said "and…" Bounce focused on the chat window to see that he was signing at her. But it wasn't a sign she knew.
Her advisor's fist was clenched, stretched out at her as if to reach through the virtual window and punch her in the face. Professor Grandstand's thumb popped up out of the fist. He said two words in English. Then, "Good luck, Bounce."
The taxi beeped as it settled onto the filthy ground. <Thank you for riding Shikaakwa Speedy Motors> Its computer sent her. <Confirm payment? Yes/No.>
Bounce signed the confirmation with tingling fingers and stumbled out of the taxi, followed by her luggage. Dogs barked at her. The smell of burning garbage filled the air. People, wrapped head to toe in shabby cloth, scurried away as she walked across the square. Bounce swallowed, and tried not to imagine barbarian eyes glaring at her nipples. She had arrived.

Sisterhood of Travelers in the Dominican Republic
... history. The island is called the Dominican Republic. Many people travel there on honeymoons or to one of their many resorts for a week or two. Nikki, our friend Lexie and I decided to stay with one of friends for one month. Nikki and I actually traveled to the D.R 2 years prior and met Lexie and our friend Crystal there. Lexis is from PA and Crystal is from the island.
Nikki and I were nervous our first time travels to the D.R. We didn't not speak Spanish ...
Stuck in the mud
... We were happy on the air conditioned bus just waiting to see how they'd get us out!
On our last night we had a final dinner and then waited for the disco to open. Janine insisted I go with her. Most or all of the 20 somethings went to bed. I was up until 4. They prefer to play local music rather than our pop or dance songs so the dancing wasn't all that great.
Visit to Consuelo and area
... people who need care and who can't afford it...after we bought some cherries, we gave him a ride to the market, and he was most appreciative.
Later in the week, we were invited to join my friend Nicole and my friend Louise, along with their friends, in San Pedro for a night at the "malecon." This is pretty much a "main drag" strip, that is always along the water - many cities have a malecon, which is always along the coastline. In ...
Donations to schools...and Donna arrives!
... invited to stay for the end-of-day ceremony, where all of the students go outside and arrange themselves in lines in front of the Dominican flag, and then they sing the national anthem and say a prayer. This was really special to see, and it is a tradition that many of the smaller schools practice. We still have to go to the 3rd batey, but it is in completely different direction, so we will have to go another day! ...
Schools update
... maturity levels among this wide range of students. We have started weekly mentoring sessions, as she really has had no training in French before, and wants to be able to teach the students to speak properly after I leave. She is a wonderful person and teacher, and the students all love her...they love all of their teachers. Actually, I think that the best part of my day is when I arrive at the gate to the school yard, and one student notices me ...

Egypt's ruling military council has warned it will not allow civilians to encroach on the armed forces' extensive business enterprises, in rare comments about its secretive economic interests in the face of increasing demands for public scrutiny.
Reuters/Dylan Martinez
Court Frees Ousted President Hosni Mubarak
Violence has not abated in Egypt and a couple of new complications are in the works. Please consider Egypt Defense Chief Says Army Will Fight to Protect State.
A Cairo court ordered ousted President Hosni Mubarak freed from prison, a move that could complicate Egypt's increasingly violent political transition, while militants in Sinai killed 26 policemen.
Egyptian activists behind an uprising that toppled president Hosni Mubarak on Tuesday rejected talks with the ruling military junta, demanding an end to military trials of civilians prior to any dialogue.The ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took power when Mubarak was ousted in February, had invited 1,000 representatives of youth groups who took part in the January 25 revolt to attend a meeting on Wednesday.
Thomson Reuters
National Defence public affairs staff were dealing with the fallout Thursday from the racist comments about new Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan posted on the Canadian Forces Facebook page by a member of the military.
Sources say for the most part the posts on the English-language version of the Canadian Forces Facebook page were respectful and welcoming to Sajjan, a Sikh originally born in India. (He was also a Canadian Forces lieutenant colonel and combat veteran, with three tours in Afghanistan and one in Bosnia).
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's prime minister on Tuesday accused Israel of being behind the ouster of Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, offering as the only evidence for his claim a statement by a Jewish French intellectual during a meeting with an Israeli official.
The Egyptian Cabinet rejected Recep Tayyip Erdogan's statement as baseless and "bewildering," saying its patience was running low with Turkey, one of the biggest critics of the July 3 military coup.
Egypt's military said on Thursday that the country will hold its first parliamentary election since Hosni Mubarak's overthrow as scheduled in September and then prepare a constitution before a presidential poll.General Mahmduh Shahin, a member of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, said the parliamentary election will be held "no later than September 30," the official MENA news agency reported."After the parliamentary election, a new constitution will be drafted, and then presidential elections will be conducted," the agency quoted him as saying.
Egypt's ruling military council dismissed on Wednesday a report that it might pardon ousted leader Hosni Mubarak or his family, saying it does not intervene in judicial affairs."There is absolutely no truth to what has been reported by the media that the supreme council is moving towards a pardon for former president Mohammed Hosni Mubarak or his family," the council stated on its Facebook page."The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces does not interfere in one way or the other in legal procedures to hold the former regime symbols accountable," the statement read.
