The sixth month of the Indian calendar doesn't only betoken the dying summer but dying hopes too. This time of the year, for some, opens the doorway to their dreams, while closes for many. The most-sought St.Stephen's College of Delhi like every year has once again set high cut-offs for the ardent students aspiring for it. Score of 99% would welcome one to English Honours, while 98% to Economics Honours. Such near-to-century cut-offs pierces the dreams-adorned hearts of countless. But is it the college whom we're supposed to finger on? Shall the eyes of admission-concerned parents envy these top-flight colleges? Nod your face sideways because it is not the college to be chid at.
Over-inflating grades
Ask the scores to any one random and most of the lips would utter 90% because affording 90% today is like affording a 'nano-car'. When average score ballparks at 90%, what else can any top college come up with? If Board of examinations do not devise stringent standards pertaining to answer-sheet-correction, such grade inflation would keep shooting whammy on students. The day not the seeds of money but discipline will be drilled into the heads of examining teachers; the day when carefree checking metamorphoses into meticulous examining; the day when essay checking counts in negative marking on grammatical errors and dull language; that day would perhaps be a milestone in Indian education system
Damn! Even my body temperature missed the St. Stephens admission cut off.
— Vir Das (@thevirdas) June 17, 2015
Irrational and irresponsible government
Unwise fear of after-result suicides, uproars and stone-bombardment on government offices restrains the government to impose strict laws regarding the fair examining of answer sheet. Not only this, Indian government had never mustered enough courage to uplift the Indian education system. What can happen to the country where an opinion of raising English standards in schools is discarded with an alibi of 'English is the language of elites'. If the country's Education minister fosters such mentality, how can our nation develop educational competence? To boot, scarcity of top institutes in India aggravates the woes of admission season more. How can one 'Stephen', one 'Hindu' and one 'Shriram' suffice in the country with such elephantine population? Food for thought it is. Government has to do something about it.

Gingerly I Go Into the First Row
I stepped out into the garden. I figure, it's my garden, even if it has been taken over by row upon row of carefully lined-up alien peas. I can go out into it if I like. Of course, if some human-faced dog waddles by, I'm all for getting the hell outta Dodge and headin' for the hills.
Or maybe this is a Jack-and-the-beanstalk kinda story, and one of them there pea-pods is gonna cannibalize all its neighbors and grow up big and strong and climb to the clouds where I'll find a honkin' huge bag o' gold and a gold-egg layin-chicken twice my size. Wasn't there some giant lady in there too?
So, I stepped outside, and I looked up the street. There was nobody out there. I looked down the street. There was nobody out there neither.
My Orange-Cat sat in the window with an intent look, watching me step gingerly into the nearest row. I waved, but the Orange-Cat didn't move, didn't change expression. It seemed terribly focused on the garden patch.
I cocked my head to one side, and noticed the White-Cat was sitting on the fence dividing my front yard from my back yard. And there was a Black Cat with it. And a tabby. And a tortoise-shell.
In fact, I noticed there were more cats. Some on my neighbors lawn. Others on their fence, in their windows. Long-haired, short-haired and hairless. One even looked kind of like Old Man Terwilliger from down the road. But he didn't own a cat, and besides, he never came outside anymore. Not since that foul temptress of his ex-wife divorced him.
They were all watching me step into the first row of pea-pods.
I bent down, and one of the cats chirruped.
I glanced around.
None of the cats had moved.
I thought it was odd--as odd as anything else that day, this audience of cats watching me silently. Watching me bend down to touch the first row of pea-pods that had appeared overnight in my sunflower garden.
But who was I to argue with a Higher Power?

The kids spoke on Saturday, and they weren't fooling. The 19th Annual Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards took place at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, and some of TV's biggest stars got honored and slimed in the annual event.
Jack Black hosted, opening with a musical number performed by him and five kids. Pink, Chris Brown, and Bow Wow also brought down the house with musical numbers during the show.
Justin Timerblake and Hugh Jackman, both former Burp Award winners, faced off in a Burping With the Stars contest hosted by Dancing With the Stars' Tom Bergeron. In a show of just how far-ranging his talent is, Timberlake won with a massive, chest-rattling belch. A beaten Jackman could only look stunned as his face was spattered with cream pies.
The night wouldn't have been complete without the obligatory celebrity "sliming," a Nickelodeon tradition wherein green slime falls from the ceiling onto a presenter or award-winner. This time, Adam Sandler got a green shower, and Robin Williams got the mother of all slimings, getting drenched with the green goo until his clothes were completely soaked. Williams then smeared slime all over Black in mock retaliation.
More than 25 million kids cast votes for their favorites. A complete list of winners is online at Nick's Web site. Here are the winners for TV:
FAVORITE TV SHOW: Drake & Josh
FAVORITE TV ACTRESS: Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101)
FAVORITE TV ACTOR: Drake Bell (Drake & Josh)
FAVORITE CARTOON: SpongeBob SquarePants
WANNABE AWARD: Chris Rock

"A note on mainstream media antipathy to Trump. I suspect at the moment it's starting to help him. More than half the country is willing to believe the media are essentially dishonest and mobby, that they function either consciously or not as Democratic operatives, that they don't have to like Mrs. Clinton (and they don't) to function in this way, and that they feel nothing but disrespect for Mr. Trump, his followers and everything they represent. But a lot of TV journalists are particularly upfront and out there now about their antipathy, in part because they're honestly alarmed—this guy could really become president—and in part because it is not respectable not to hate him. But they are starting to make him look sympathetic."
This shows why she got a whole chapter of her own in "Trump the Press."

Hello... Both are same , you have pcos, DHT level is not responsible for pcos , polycystic ovarian syndrome is the most common cause for irregular periods in these days. It's due to hormonal imbalance between LG and FSH. Common symptoms are irregular periods, hirsutism, weight gain.. It's long term problem.. Reduction in weight shows significant improvement in pcos... Difficulty in pregnancy is common problem with pcos. Oral contraceptive pills regularise periods with minimal bleeding

In his first NFL pass, the Vikings' first-round pick completed a 10-yard pass to fellow rookie Kyle Rudolph for a first down on his first play from scrimmage. But his opening drive stalled after misfiring on a second-down slant pass intended for Jaymar Johnson and being sacked on third down to force a punt.
He again picked up a first down on his first pass of the second drive he engineered, hitting Lorenzo Booker with a swing pass for 10 yards. He looked a little like Frank Tarkenton on a third-and-16 play, scrambling wildly behind the line and turning his back to play to escape pressure, eventually delivering a strike to Emmanuel Arceneaux that picked up 17 yards for a first down. However, the play was negated by an unrelated personal foul on center Brandon Fusco that would force another punt.
On his first drive of the fourth quarter, fans got their first look at the playmaking ability of Ponder, who moved the Vikings into scoring position by completing passes of 16 yards to tight end Allen Reisner and 26 yards to wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias. But, after struggling to get a play called in time, Ponder got called for delay of game and the drive stalled in the red zone.
His final drive wasn't anything to brag about. He completed a couple of short passes, including a 7-yard underhand flip-toss to fullback Matt Asiata to keep the drive moving forward, but threw an incompletion of fourth down with a defender draped all over him.
Ponder's debut was solid but unspectacular, but it could have been much worse. He showed flashes of what the Vikings saw in him when they drafted him with the 12th pick in April. He did it against the third-team defense of the Titans and will get his chance to show what he can do next week against Seattle, when he will be given a shot as the No. 2 quarterback.
As far as debuts go, it wasn't great and it wasn't terrible. It was somewhere in the middle, which the Vikings will likely accept for a first outing from their QB of the future.
John Holler has been writing about the Vikings for more than a decade for Viking Update. Follow Viking Update on Twitter and discuss this story on our subscriber message board.

Karl Rove offered some telling facts from exit polls about why Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney. Then he offered an even more telling interpretation, which gave us a glimpse at the parallel world that Mr. Rove occupies:
"53% in the exit polls said that Romney's policies would only help the rich and they voted for Obama by a 9 to 1 margin. For the 21% of the electorate who said that the most important characteristic for the president is that he cares about people like me, they voted for Obama by almost a 9 to 1 margin."
Rove correctly identifies two overlapping sentiments about Romney: that he does care about the rich, and he doesn't care about the middle class.
Reader, were you, as Rove is, a top Republican strategist, what conclusion would draw from these exit polls? Perhaps that the G.O.P. needs to become the party of the middle class. That they should nominate someone with a working class background and reputation. That they need to do a better job connecting to voters on an emotional level. That Mitt Romney should not have said things like, "I'm not concerned about the very poor," and "47% of the country are dependent," and "corporations are people, my friend."
Something like that, right? Sure, if you're the rational type. Rove increasingly is not. His explanation was that Obama "suppressed the vote," with character attacks on Romney. He didn't even consider the possibility that Obama had shown an actual connection to the voters. He assumed that most people don't like the president, even after quoting statistics that strongly suggest that many of them do.
Even when Rove can't have his own facts, he has no trouble clinging to his own reality.
Now the Republican governors of Ohio and Florida, THOSE guys are the ones suppressing the vote!

Age-related macula degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of partial blindness in the western world, and the risk of developing it normally rises after the age of 60. It is caused because of the degeneration and loss of photoreceptor cells in the retina at the back of the eye, particularly in the central, densely-packed, section used to pick out detail in a scene. The result of the disease is a blind spot in the centre of the field of view.
John Yates, a medical geneticist from Cambridge University, was studying the genetic factors behind AMD when his team found the link with smoking.
"As well as looking at the genetic factors, we wanted to quantify the effects of smoking as accurately as we could," said Prof Yates. "In collecting samples from patients we also asked about their smoking history and that's where this research has come from. Several studies in the past have just compared smokers with non-smokers to see if ever having smoked was a risk factor. What we've done is quantified the amount that people have smoked and it turns out that that is really what determines your risk."
Looking at a group of 435 people that had AMD and 280 people who lived with them, Prof Yates's team found that the more a person smoked, the greater their chances of developing the eye disease.
Smoking a packet of 20 cigarettes a day for more than 40 years tripled the risk of developing AMD compared with non-smokers. Passive smokers, defined as those who had lived with someone who smokes for five years or more, were found to double their risk. There was no difference between men and women.
The researchers said that the mechanisms at work behind the increase in risk are related to oxidation damage of the cells at the back of the eye. "Experimental evidence suggests that smoking impairs retinal pigment epithelium function (RPE), resulting in a build-up of waste products at the RPE/retinal interface," they say in a paper to be published in next month's issue of the British Journal of Ophthalmology. This build-up leads to damage to the membranes in the eyes, allowing the growth of new blood vessels. Additional damage may be also caused by the direct effect of nicotine in the tobacco.

As he walked into Jim Stalvey's on a Friday afternoon, you could see a look of ease on Kirk Hoffman's face. His team, Alcovy – still seeking its first win of the season – is on a bye week and Hoffman doesn't have to play a game that Friday night.
On a cold Wednesday evening Florida State commit Abby Evans, blanked the Lady Tigers twice lifting Hilgrove to 1-0 and 6-0 wins respectively, ending Alcovy's playoff run in the second round.
Tyra Holingsworth and Ciara Bryan (again) have been selected as the athletes of the week for their respective schools Alcovy and Newton. These two players stood out amongst their peers. Eastside played away on Friday and the Eagles' Athlete of the Week will be named at CovNews.com on Monday.
Wednesday, Alcovy will play its second round playoff game against Hillgrove. The Tigers have the perfect blend of experience and skill, highlighted by their strong senior class, juniors Kalia Johnson and Raven Smith, plus freshman catcher Emma Waddell.
Advancing to the second round was on the line and in two pitcher's duels it came down to the seventh inning each time, and each time Tyra Hollingsworth came up clutch.
On a chilly afternoon on Saturday – one that was perfect for football but just okay for softball – Alcovy showed its dominance and ran through Newton 16-1 in just three innings to capture the 2014 2-AAAAAA Region Championship.
Aubree Thacker has been selected as the Alcovy Athlete of the Week for the week of Sept. 22. Thacker's bat was on throughout the entire week. Thacker had five hits and scored two runs against Rockdale and Newton this past week.
In what was likely a preview of the region championship, Alcovy (15-3-1, 8-0 Region 2-AAAAAA) traveled to Newton (9-14, 5-2 Region 2-AAAAAA) in a battle for sole posession of first place in the region. For the second time this season, Alcovy capitalized off Newton's mistakes to take a big lead and never look back, defeating them 7-0.
Nobody wants to be 0-4, but Alcovy head coach Kirk Hoffman knows he has to be patient because this is a marathon not a sprint.
In softball and baseball in the box score 'K' stands for strikeout, in the Alcovy vs. Rockdale game it stood for Kalia Johnson. Standing strong at 13-2, and an undefeated 7-0 in region play, the Alcovy softball team showed no mercy against Rockdale (4-11, 1-5 Region 2-AAAAAA) run-ruling them 9-0 after five innings as Johnson threw seven K's.
Off to an 0-2 start, Alcovy (Region 2-AAAAAA) and its coaches are keeping it simple with the team, as they look to get better just two weeks before region play begins.
Alcovy pitcher Kalia Johnson is the Covington News' Alcovy athlete of the week for the week of Sept. 1. Johnson was a huge factor in the Tigers' 17-0 blowout win over Tucker. Johnson could've picked up another win last week if the Tigers had played just one more inning against Eastside. The game got cancelled due to bad weather with the Tigers leading by a few runs.
In high school softball when you're dealing with young players who are still learning, there will be some mistakes. Most games come down to the team that makes the fewest mistakes and on Tuesday that was Alcovy, as they eased to a 9-1 win over a young Newton team.
It was all déjà vu for the Alcovy Tigers (0-2) on Friday night as they took on the Baldwin Braves from Milledgeville, Georgia. In back-to-back weeks, they gave up 30 points on defense, but this time they weren't able to get on the scoreboard, as the Braves torched Alcovy 30-0.
For the second-straight week at home, Alcovy allowed 30 points, but this time the team wasn't able to find the endzone.

- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Do you know your rights when it comes to returning goods you bought online or by post? You should because half of the 20 major retailers we looked at don't seem to, potentially costing consumers millions of pounds each year.
Whether it's a new £4,000 ultra HD television, a washing machine or a swanky coffee machine, most of us are happy to buy products over the internet or the phone for convenience or to save money. But what if, when it's delivered, the item isn't quite what you expected or you've simply changed your mind and don't want it anymore?
For once, it's not a case of 'tough luck', as you have considerable cancellation rights if you order and pay for most types of goods and services away from the retailer's premises.
The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 is a bit of a mouthful. Yet it's worth chewing on. This piece of legislation replaces the Distance Selling Regulations and Doorstep Selling Regulations, and has increased the rights we all have when it comes to rejecting goods purchased online, at a distance, or away from a trader's premises.
Before these regulations came in last April, you only had seven working days after receiving most goods to tell the retailer you wanted to return an item you'd ordered. Now you have up to 14 days from the day after delivery to cancel an item, and a further 14 days to return it. You don't have to give a reason. The retailer has 14 days from receiving the returned item – or receiving proof that you sent it - to reimburse you.
We analysed the returns policies of 20 leading retailers, from All Saints to Zara, and found that, despite having almost a year to amend their websites, 10 were potentially in breach of the Consumer Contracts Regulations (CCRs), meaning they were misleading their customers and potentially costing them money.
Here's who failed the test.
When we checked in February 2015, All Saints was more of a sinner in our book. The clothes retailer states that you'll get a full refund if you send back your item within 14 days, while articles received after this period will entitle you to a gift card that is valid for six months. Items received after 28 days will 'be sent back to you'.
All Saints also refers to the Distance Selling Regulations as being in place, despite this legislation being replaced by the CCRs last April. The retailer's website states: "The Distance Selling Regulations are in place to protect the rights of our friends in the EU. You have seven working days from the moment you placed your order to cancel it."
Banana Republic is also potentially breaching the CCRs as it insists: "You can return unwashed and unworn products bought in the UK on this website by mail... within 30 days of your order date." This isn't right, as the retailer can't guarantee how many days it will take for an item to be delivered to customers – or returned. Under the law, the customer has up to 14 days after delivery to cancel, and a further 14 days to return the goods.
Reiss falls the test too, as it requires customers to return items sooner than CCRs require. Its terms and conditions state: "The parcel can take up to seven working days to reach us therefore we recommend that you send items back within seven days of receipt to ensure the goods arrive to us within 14 days of receipt, so we can process your refund."
Zara's returns policy includes the following information, which gives customers fewer rights than are permitted: "All returns must be made within one month of the e-mail confirming shipment."
Of course, the regulations allow you up to 14 days from the day after delivery to inform the provider you want a refund, for any reason. After this you have a further 14 days to return them, so both Reiss and Zara appear to be failing to conform to the requirements of these vital regulations.
Argos and Homebase failed to make the mark when it came to returning digital goods, claiming the CCRs didn't apply to "sealed audio or video recordings or computer software".
Wrong. The government has even published advice to retailers which covers this issue and states that refunds must be allowed, "in the case of a contract for the supply of sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, if the goods become unsealed after delivery".
Currys wins no favour with its policy wording as customers have up to 14 days from the day after the day of delivery, rather than the date of purchase, to cancel a transaction purchased via the site. This is followed by a further 14 days to return.
But its returns policy states: "An unwanted product can be returned within 21 days of delivery as long as it's still in original, unopened packaging." There is no requirement under the CCRs to return goods in their packaging.
Incidentally, the site's returns and cancellation policy includes the following valiant attempt at English: "We cannot return unwanted items after 21 days of purchase, nor can we return items that have been used."
Customers have up to 14 days from the day after delivery, rather than the date of purchase to cancel a transaction purchased via the site, followed by a further 14 days to return.
We don't believe Currys can legitimately keep hold of items that have been sent to it after 21 days. If a customer has used a purchase, Currys seems to imply it's the customer's property, so surely the retailer must return it? Otherwise, to keep the refund or the product might be considered theft.
Monsoon's returns policy doesn't hold water. It requires customers to return unwanted goods within 28 days of receipt. In fact, the CCRs give people 14 days from the day after receipt of the goods to cancel and a further 14 days to return them. So they are one day short
of the allowed number of days.
Also, Monsoon's policy states customers should allow up to 28 days from the day items are returned to get a refund. Government guidance on these regulations maintains: "Traders must refund within 14 days of cancellation of service contract or receipt of goods (or of evidence of the consumer returning them)."
We contacted all of the companies that were, in our view, potentially in breach of the CCRs. All Saints, Argos, Homebase, House of Fraser and Reiss all confirmed they comply with the new regulations, however they all also admitted their websites had not been updated to reflect the new legal requirements.
They have pledged to amend the sites to ensure no customer could be given the wrong information. Of the other retailers, only Currys responded, simply stating it complied with the Regulations (although we can find no requirement for goods to be returned in their original packaging).
While we believe 10 of the major retailers are potentially breaching the CCRs, the same number appeared to be playing by the rules, which – to recap – include the following:
The 10 who we felt were following the rules were: B&Q, BHS, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, IKEA, John Lewis, M&S, Next, Topshop and Wickes.
To take one example of good practice, Ikea offers a returns period of 365 days. This includes assembled items - if they are not damaged. Delivery costs will be covered by the retailer if the items are cancelled within 14 days. Given Ikea is thriving, its generous approach is clearly welcome.

Dominique Booth is just a few months away from announcing a spring commitment to the school of his choice. With that in mind, and with the class of 2013 nearly over with, Booth has a list of top schools to choose from.
"Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Mississippi State, Michigan State, Michigan, and Ohio State," Booth told GoBlueWolverine.
Of Booth's top seven all have offered except for Ohio State and Michigan. Wolverine assistant coach Curt Mallory recently made it out to Pike (Ind.) high school to check-in on the 2014 pass catcher, touching base on the phone later to have a conversation Booth has been waiting for since camping in Ann Arbor in June.
"He told me that he watched my film with the recruiting coordinator last week and he said that they feel like I should be a definite offer," said Booth. "When they get off the road they're going to watch the film as a staff, and he said on February 6th he wants to get me on the phone with coach Hoke and it sounds like he should be offering me that day."
Booth, who said he learned the most at Michigan's camp out of his three camp visits that also included Florida and Ohio State, was very impressed with coach Mallory's honest and real approach to their conversation.
"I just said thank you for being straight with me, 'cause some schools just say random stuff that doesn't make sense and pulls you along," said Booth. "But he was straight with me and told me what was going on. I told him I've been waiting for that because I went up to camp and did really well when I went to camp there."
Once Booth jumps on the phone with Michigan and—potentially—receives a scholarship, the chances of the Wolverines making the cut down to a top five in the near future would be very bright.
"To me it makes them a legitimate choice now, because if you don't have an offer it's not really a choice," said Booth. "But I already have a top seven, so I'll cut it down to a top five—and pretty much right now the only two schools in my top seven that didn't offer me is Michigan and Ohio State. Now that I feel like Michigan is about to offer me -- if they do offer me it would be a different team being cut off the list."
Booth will have a busy few months planned leading up to his commitment, checking out as many schools, if not all, that he can within his timeframe.
"I'm planning on going back to all seven of those schools and seeing what's going on," said Booth. "I'm looking to go back to those and then I'll take it down (his list). I will be taking visits up until the end of my spring break -- after my spring break I'm deciding."
At 6'1 and 190 pounds, Booth would have the ability to fit multiple roles at the receiver position at the next level. But the Indiana native admits he still has plenty to learn and is looking for a coaching staff that can expand his game.
"I'm going to look at the way the coach teaches—not really just yelling but teaching players," said Booth. "I want to learn different things and techniques that other people don't know. I want to be unique."
Booth plans to major in either Psychology or Athletic Training.

The Education Funding Agency – created to manage funding for academies and free schools – may struggle to spot future cases of school financial mismanagement because of an increasing workload and extra demands being placed upon it, according to the National Audit Office.
The investigation by the government auditors into the performance of the EFA warns that the agency faces a 50% increase in the number of institutions it has to oversee on behalf of the Department for Education over the next three years while having to cut nearly 15% from its administration costs.
It says the agency needs to improve its "horizon scanning" capabilities to spot financial problems at academies and free schools, which have to provide their own audits and manage their own budgets, rather than rely on local authorities.
"There is a risk that the agency fails to spot and respond to some strategic risks, which could damage its and the department's reputation or have financial impacts," the NAO concludes.
The EFA's role in policing academies and free schools has had a higher profile after recent scandals at two free schools, the Kings science academy in Bradford and the Al-Madinah free school in Derby, involving allegations of faulty accounting and mismanagement by staff and governors.
The NAO report is critical of the additional burdens the EFA is being asked to shoulder, saying that the DfE "did not sufficiently define what it expected the agency to achieve, nor has it fully considered the agency's capacity when increasing its responsibilities."
The DfE said the NAO report recognised the good work that the agency had done in its first year of operation and that it was meeting the challenges of the growth in the number of academies.
"The EFA has built new systems so it can operate more effectively and oversee a system of financial accountability for academies that is more rigorous than the system for maintained schools. The agency has also achieved significant savings for the public purse in school rebuilding programmes – some 35% cheaper than under the previous government," the DfE said.
According to the NAO's data, the agency distributed £51bn of funds in 2012-13, to 7,900 clients, to institutions teaching a total of 10 million pupils. But just 36% of the EFA's customers rated its services as good or excellent in a survey last year.
The report says: "The agency has fulfilled most of its day to‐day funding and assurance responsibilities, developed new approaches to capital programmes, and is on track to meet its required cost savings. However, it also faces an expanding remit, a rapidly growing customer base, and further required reductions in operating costs."
The NAO also highlighted the EFA's difficulty in finding staff for key posts: "The agency has had difficulties in filling vacancies, due to its changing demand for skills and the fact that the skills it now requires, such as in construction and IT, are in short supply."
It also found the EFA had been unable to meet its own timetable for surveying state school properties in England: "Due to inconsistent data received from local authorities, the agency did not meet its deadline and still needs to survey 8,000 schools at a cost of £6m. Not receiving the data on time has affected future capital funding decisions."

Outside a rundown castle
Oz could see that his companion, Nina, was nervous about going into this place. Oddly enough, he thought it had more to do with the fact she still was adjusting to becoming a werewolf than the general creepy factor of the place. She didn't want to be around people that much and he couldn't say he blamed her.
It was good timing that he passed through LA when he did or those monsters – Oz didn't think they deserved the label of 'humans' – would have eaten Nina while she was in her werewolf form. And they had the nerve to claim he and Nina were evil creatures.
After rescuing her, Oz gave her a story to tell her family, then promised he would help her learn to control the wolf like the monks had done for him. And hopefully they'd be able to do it even when they got emotional this time.
When the front door opened, Oz blinked in shock. Whoa, this guy looked like he could be Snyder's relative – except he had more hair. But they both had that shudder-worthy look in their eyes that made his skin crawl.
But then he and the maid broke out into a song; something about a time warp.
Poor Nina's nerves were fraying with every minute they stayed, so Oz politely asked for a phone when they finished their song and dance routine. Suddenly Nina cried out and fainted against the elevator behind them.
Now he couldn't be sure if it was the fact the guy looked some kind of Dracula wannabe in his cape and the sign that announced a Transylvanian convention or maybe that he was Giles' doppelganger which made Oz's senses sharpen. Uh-oh, he remembered that the vamp double thing could actually be a possibility. Oz took a sniff of the man as he passed them and relaxed; it didn't smell at all like Giles to him.
When the Giles-vamp-wannabe turned around in front of the throne and threw off his cape, something spectacular happened…Oz snorted in laughter. He quickly got control of himself before he switched over to guffaws, though. The first thought he had was, 'Thank goodness cell phones can still take pictures even when there isn't coverage to make a call.' The second was wishing he could be there to see Buffy's face when she saw the pictures he would email her of a man who looked like her Watcher in fishnet stockings and a leather corset.*
Reaching over to squeeze Nina's hand in reassurance, Oz raised an eyebrow when the 'Sweet Transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania' invited them up to his lab to show them something. Once the elevator had started moving again, he turned to the Snyder guy and maid who wanted to strip them out of their wet clothes. "Uhh, you guys do know that we can tell you aren't human, right?"
The shock on their faces was enough to bring a smile to Nina's face – even though she didn't know precisely what seemed off about them. She sniffed the air to get a better idea and turned to Oz in confusion; she hadn't smelled anything like them before and they had already fought some vampires and met at least one non-violent demon on their trip so far.
Oz just grinned with a bit of the wolf peeking out and said with a growl, "Try anything funny and I won't hesitate to tear any non-human to shreds." He held up one of his hands which partially shifted to show his claws, causing them to back away in fear. "Understand?"
A/N: No offense to Tim Curry – who makes a great Dr. Frank-N-Furter – but I had to use ASH as the actor for him since Head played him too. Here's a video of him singing 'Wise up, Janet Weiss' http:/ www. youtube. com /watch?v=Lilv4d9Z7o8&feature=related.

For years I searched for the perfect pale lip lipstick. I found it at no other than MAC. This lipstick is so highly pigmented, it blows me away! It is a full coverage lipstick. I absolutely love it when paired with MAc Lipglass in Florabundance! This lipstick is semi hard to wear alone, it tends to dry out the lip, so is best paired with a gloss! I will most deffinately repurchase!!

To Reclaim the Past
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear times' waste...
from Sonnet 30, by William ShakespearePrologue
City of the Parisii, June 410 C.E.:
It was finished.
Havron laid down his brush as he stared at the cavern walls. The grand design was complete. The various grouping of signs resolved to a fewer number that gradually rose up the walls of the cavern until arriving near the center of the cavern roof and arranging into a circle. He smiled.
"Do you really think they'll ever understand?"
Havron sighed, refusing to look at the naked being who lounged just out of sight. It had recently taken the form of his lost love Aja and seemed to know that doing so disturbed him. Only the glowing red eyes of the being altered the picture of perfection that was his memory of Aja lying beside him in their hovel thousands of years ago.
It moved, and in doing so broke the illusion that was Aja by crawling on hands and knees until it stopped before him. Rising, it licked its mouth and grimaced with a wicked chuckle.
Without concern, Havron gathered his brush and paint pots as he stood… still ignoring the being's attempts to garner his attention.
It laughed as if reading his mind. "You will not live to see it," it cooed. "Your death comes… sooner than you can imagine."
Again Havron bit his tongue to fight back the retort. To engage in conversation with the demon was to invite it into one's life and to give it power. He had learned this the hard way. Instead, he busied himself cleaning and stowing his supplies. He was done here. He doubted he'd return again. Crouching slightly, he headed for the hole in the cavern wall, wondering if he should at long last wall this place up. Behind him he left a single guttering torch that would soon go out, pitching the cavern into the blackness of time.
The being materialized in his path. Havron's eyes widened as he sucked in his breath. This time even the red in the eyes was under control. A non-existent breeze fluffed her long black hair and she looked at him pleadingly. Then he saw the blood streaked on her hands and body, and the sword in one hand while the child's head was in the other. The being had reproduced the exact moment that he'd closed his heart to Aja.
"Join me," the being said pleadingly in her voice. "You've fought against me for thousands of years. Yet you cannot destroy me unless you embrace me."
Havron stepped forward and through the illusion as if he didn't see it. He waved one hand dispassionately as if fending off the sword… but made no attempt to destroy the being.
It hissed in his ear as he passed. "I am a part of you. You may be the Champion of the People, but in the end… I will have your soul as well as all the others. I have prepared one for you. He comes… and with his coming you will be forced to finally take up a sword to protect the Others in this place as you have sworn to do… or you and they will die."
Havron stumbled slightly and paused as he considered the demon's words. He'd tried over and over throughout the centuries to find the path of peace and reclaim the world that once had been. He glanced back at the pattern still visible through the hole in the guttering torchlight. He'd found it… but it was a difficult path and not all the inheritors of the People would be able to follow it… nor should they. Too many had souls tainted by the "game" as they'd come to call it.
But the pattern would be here for those who did understand to find and decipher in time. His life was of no importance any longer. He could stand forward and die. It was time. He was weary. But if the challenger that the demon was bringing truly was in its thrall… then he'd have a harder time stopping him. Havron shuddered.
"You begin to understand then," laughed the being. The blood had vanished from its body and hands. It raised them to his neck as it leaned its head against him. "Love me and you will live forever. I will grant unto you not just immortality… but eternal life. Instead of a ragged champion, half-mad from your battles with me, you can be a god."
Havron closed his eyes. It even smelled like Aja.
"I can even bring her back to you," it laughed. "Kill the one I send… take up his sword and all the world is yours to rule for eternity. If he kills you… then I am free and you will have failed as Champion."
Havron pushed through the being and left it laughing behind him. He'd periodically fought and kept the demon from bothering the world over the millennia. It seemed to gain power whenever one of the old ones died… one of the survivors of the great slaughter. Its continual presence here to plague him was a clear sign that its power was growing once more. Havron and Aja were likely the last of the ancient ones… if either of them died in combat… the demon might be free at last. She'd wandered by here a few centuries ago and had stood on the edge of the city looking at him with plaintive eyes.
He'd gone out to meet her.
"Kritis is dead," she'd said simply.
Havron had nodded. "Yes… I felt his death." He'd been awakened from sleep not long ago by the feel of the earth itself shuddering at Kritis' passing. Kritis… the eldest of the firstborn of the People. "I sent that boy of yours to him. I gave him your ring… the one Kritis made for us, so that Kritis would know he came from me. The boy's anger and his long history of senseless slaughter were things that I could not deal with. He wanted peace… but his anger had to be expiated. I had no way to do that."
Aja had looked into the distance. "I agree… yet I don't think Methos killed him. I think it was another." She leaned on her staff and closed her eyes. "I will have to journey there. Perhaps I can retrieve the sword."
"Still lusting after that thing," Havron had replied bitterly.
She'd glared at him as if stung by his words. "No. But it cannot be left there unattended. It is the keystone of your patterns." She'd smiled knowingly at him.
Havron had turned away. He would not forgive her for destroying all that they'd had. He understood that the same madness that taken her and Kritis had also been in the other groups of the People. He understood well that the demon had introduced the swords into their societies to gain their power and thereby free himself so that he could directly affect the mortal world. But Havron still could not forgive her. He never would.
That was the last time he'd seen her… and he'd wondered about her travels since then.
He climbed up the rocky tunnel until he stood once more in the sylvan grove that he'd called home for so long. Water bubbled at the spring and he knelt by it to clean his brushes and to wash his face and hands. Nearby… the mortal followers of the old ways were festooning the boughs of the trees with garlands of flowers. They hung small, lit lanterns amongst the boughs so that the glade sparkled like some magical place as if the very stars of night's blanket had come to Earth.
Havron smiled at the sight, recalling only now that mid-summer was at hand. He'd have much to do on this the shortest night of the year. He'd recently added some of the tenets of the new faith, Christianity, to the celebrations of the older one. It was essentially the same message… differing only in some its creeds. The path to peace needed to embrace all the faiths that the Others developed. It was the only way that true peace would ever be restored. All must be one, he thought.
Rising he stepped into his nearby hovel, feeling at once the light presence of the boy… Methos. True he was a grown man, as well as thousands of years old… but to Havron he was still a boy. Methos was sitting cross-legged, lost in his meditative reverie. He slowly opened one eye as Havron stowed his items.
"When do you let me see this project of yours?"
Havron smiled. "In time." It was always his answer to the boy. "You are impatient still. You must learn patience. All things will happen in time."
The boy had returned to him a decade ago. The anger about him was gone and he was ready to listen. "I still seek enlightenment from the eldest of us all," he'd asked with all deference, falling to one knee. "The one you sent me to released me from his service. He died not long after I left him." On the little finger of his right hand he still wore Aja's ring. He removed it and offered it to Havron who indicated he should keep it.
Havron had smiled, and then nodded and taken him on this time. "The path to the future is fraught with temptation," he'd told Methos. "You must harness temptation and ignore the easy path that is subject to violence. You must become as still and small as a stone. You must simply be… and allow time to pass you by. Only then will you begin to understand the patterns of life."
"You speak in riddles Old One," the boy had replied.
Havron had grinned and nodded. It was true. He did speak in riddles. Well Methos was still here. He'd persisted despite much of what he was doing involved meditation. He was "becoming" one of the People… though Havron doubted it would be accomplished any time soon. With the demon's warning of his own impending death… Havron feared that Methos would once more lose his way. Perhaps that was the plan of the demon. If he could force Havron to take up a sword and kill… then Methos would return to his dark path. If Havron died… would the boy insist on killing his killer? Either way… Havron feared that unless the boy understood to do nothing… the future would be lost.
He sat opposite Methos and crossed his legs. "One comes that I must meet in ritual combat."
Methos stared. "Who? Why? I don't understand!"
Havron nodded. "Nor do I. But you must not seek to interfere… nor to strike back if I am lost."
"I would protect you with my life. Only you have the answers I seek. Only you know the origins of us all. Tell me who we are! Tell me why we exist?"
"We were the People of the Mist… the People of the Standing Stones… the People of an Ancient Past. You are one of the inheritors of the world that is."
"Again with the riddles!" Methos said sharply as he swiftly stood to begin pacing. "You waste my time!"
"And you waste mine if this is how you feel, Methos," the Ancient One replied soothingly. "You need only do nothing… and all will happen as it must."
Methos stopped pacing and stared down at him. "How can non-violence in the face of atrocity be the answer? I was the nightmare for a thousand years. I know how truly evil men can be."
"And that is why you will be tempted. But you must not interfere. He comes soon. Do nothing… promise me this."
Methos turned away. "You're a fool Old One. You talk as if we have no free will to make our own choices."
"Oh… you have free will," chuckled Havron hearing the trappings of Christianity in that phrase. "Choice is always important… remember?"
Methos glared at him.
Havron drew the sign for "choice" in the dust. He smiled, recalling that it was Methos' habit of drawing the patterns in the dust when he'd first come that had caused Havron to understand that Aja had implanted memories in the boy somehow… memories that were buried deeply in his psyche.
Methos knelt and smoothed the dust with a thin smile. "I wish I understood those things."
"One day you will. Now you must swear to me that you will not retaliate or interfere in what is to come. Otherwise… you must leave here… now."
"If you die… I will never have the answers."
Havron smiled as he touched the boy's chest with one long finger. "The answers lie within you."
Methos shook his head thoughtfully. "I've meditated long and hard as you've taught. I went to Kritis as you ordered and learned all I could from him. He offered me his head. He knelt before me at the end and offered me his sword and his head. I don't understand!" He rose sharply and began once more to pace. "Kritis was a master of the blade and I learned more forms of combat from him than I thought possible. I learned how even an empty hand can be as powerful as a blade if it moves fast enough and hits the proper target. But I also learned to wait until I had to strike… and then to do so swiftly and without mercy. I learned that sometimes in the waiting… the strike can be avoided. But I've never understood why he wanted me to kill him."
"Perhaps he was testing you to see if you'd finally gotten the point," Havron replied thoughtfully. "Perhaps if you'd grabbed at the sword… he'd have taken your head."
Methos froze and nodded. "Yes… perhaps that was it. But I left him. I didn't want to kill him. That much power could overwhelm an immortal. That much power… could level a mountain if not controlled. At Kritis' death… the mountain fell… and the inland sea boiled. That much power suddenly released onto one of us… could destroy an immortal or change him forever."
Havron nodded knowingly in agreement. "It could indeed."
Methos faced him, his mouth a small, "Oh" formed in understanding. "You think to change this immortal."
Havron shrugged. "I have no idea what you mean."
The singing amongst the trees had begun. Havron rose. "I must see to my children." He left the hovel to join the Others in celebrating the shortest night of the year… a time when true darkness existed for only a brief time… before light would return to the world. Havron's soul was at peace with his surroundings… and with the shadow of the future waiting to be born.

Laser facials reinvigorate skin that's been damaged by years of hanging out in the sun or being trapped inside a large, airtight plastic bag. Break out without breaking out with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $129 for two IPL photofacial treatments (up to a $300 value)
- $179 for three IPL photofacial treatments (up to a $450 value)
During the 35- to 40-minute non-ablative photofacial, a technician uses intense pulsed light to diminish sun damage, fine lines, acne scarring, and pigmentation issues. To minimize discomfort, laser technicians recommend applying a preparatory numbing cream, which is not included in this deal and can be purchased at the office.
Though Dermatology and Laser Medical Center sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
