Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I worked for company for 2.5 years. About 1.5 years ago I had to take a personal leave of absence. Just recently I had to take another leave of absence for a family emergency. I was told I could go & I have the email to prove so. I was to return on 5/10/2012. I couldn't board my flight home because I had to be taken to the airport for the second leg of my flight due to issues beyond my control. I was unable to pay the $505 the airline demanded for me to board the flight even though I called and made them aware of the situation. On 5/9 I informed my employer. I was told if I didn't show up 5/10 I was abandoning my position. I informed them there was no way for me to make it to work but I'd return as soon as I could purchase a flight. I got no response and was terminated. I have all emails.
You are being very opaque about the circumstances that underlie all of this. For some mysterious reason you could not meet the defined boundaries of your approved absence. You would like an opinion from an attorney here as to whether that fact will matter in a determination of your eligibility for unemployment benefits. But, of course, it is the "mysterious reason" for your AWOL that makes the difference in answering your question. You couldn't get back as agreed because you were on a hot streak at the gambling table? Or ??? It makes a difference as to "why."
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
My mysterious reason? It isn't really a mystery. I was unable to get on my flight when I missed the first leg of my flight. We had car issues on the way to the airport and drove to the airport where I had layover. I called to let the airlines know what happened but they wanted to charge me $505 dollars to board a flight I had already paid for. I didn't have it and neither did anyone I know. In order to fly out I had to magically come up with the money and now I have to magically come up with the money to purchase a new ticket. I informed my employer of the issue and let them know I wouldn't be there. How can this be considered abandonment if I let them know?
This will feel unfair to you, and it is, of course. But what your employer's position adds up to is the contention that it was your duty and responsibility to be back at the job by the time agreed. Your employer does not feel like the company should be the guarantor or the party with the burden of solving the problem -- requiring employer flexibility and accommodation -- if you are not back when you agreed to be. The issue is one of who bears the ultimate responsibility for making your return on time a certainty. You think it should be your employer's burden to accommodate the unexpected issues you were delayed by. Your employer does not. The employer thinks those unexpected problems are your problem and your responsibility. In the world of employment law, your employer wins this one.
I do understand their position. I'm not trying to say they should have held my job. I just want to know if this would be classified as no fault of my own. I honestly could not board that plane with 100 in my bank account and them asking for 505. I couldn't prevent the car issues either
There is no reason not to apply for unemployment. And even appeal if you are initially denied. But no one can predict that on these facts, you will be awarded the benefits.
Thank you for your time
In Oregon, generally you are eligible for unemployment so long as you did not voluntarily quit or were not terminated for misconduct. Whether you are eligible will depend upon whether the employment division finds that your failure to return to work on the date requested by the employer was misconduct. If you have a legitimate explanation for your inability to return to work, the employment division may find that although you were terminated, it was not for misconduct. The only way to know is to apply and if the employer disputes it, participate in a hearing.Ask a similar question
I echo the answer given by Shelley Russell, with the additional observation that the issue might be cast as whether you quit voluntarily without good cause because your former employer has stated that it would treat your failure to show up for work as abandonment of your position. If that is the basis for denial of benefits at the Administrative Decision stage, one critical consequence at the hearing stage will be that you will carry the burden of proof to show that your supposed "abandonment" was not voluntary. If you are denied benefits due to alleged misconduct connected with work, the employer will have the burden of proving that you violated the standards of behavior an employer has a right to expect and that you did so willfully or through gross negligence. In either event, I would not expect an adverse ruling if the circumstances were truly beyond your control.Ask a similar question
I do have proof from the airline showing I was required to pay 505 dollars to board the plane. I also have emails (most unanswered) between my manager and I. I made them fully aware of the situation and that I would work to return as soon as I was able. My leave was unexpected and I didn't have a large amount of money for the trip. I never said I quit or would be unable to ever return to work. I had worked there for 2.5 years, only had one counseling for absences (last quarter) because I missed 4 days of work due to a bad flu even though I had a doctor note. I had probation once which was stemmed by me reporting another employee and it got turned around on me saying I wasn't doing my job (which numbers, if they were looked at, would prove untrue) and a counseling for looking at something on the company intranet that was not password protected and should have been (like I hacked into it or something...). Anyways, I was a good employee who volunteered to work extra, showed up and did far more work and a better job than most.
Based on what you are saying, I do not see a very strong risk of your being denied unemployment benefits. You should contact a qualified employment lawyer if you get an adverse determination.

Although little formal education is needed to become a home health aide, state training and certificate programs are often necessary prior to practicing. Many home health aides work closely with a nurse and perform a number of duties, such as record keeping and administering a patient with proper doses of medication.
Essential Information
Home health aides are responsible for taking care of patients who are suffering from chronic illnesses or disabilities or are elderly and need continuous care while living at home. Many states have their own home health aide training programs. However, aspiring home health aides can choose instead to complete a certificate program in home health care, and some employers offer on-the-job training. Home health aides may need to earn certification, depending on their employer.
|Required Education
|State training program, on-the-job training or certificate program
|Required for aides at companies that receive Medicare or Medicaid
|Projected Job Growth (2014-2024)*
|Median Salary (2015)*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Job Duties of a Home Health Aide
Home health aides often work closely with a health care professional such as a nurse. Some common duties of a home health aide include keeping a record of a patient's progress in order to alert a physician or a nurse to any sudden changes.
A home health aide is also responsible for some basic health care tasks, such as giving medicine, changing dressing, checking a patient's temperature and pulse rate and helping with artificial limbs or walking aids. Some home health aides who have advanced training may be able to assist patients with ventilators and other medical devices.
Education and Certification Requirements
Certificate Program
A certificate program in home health care can be completed in one or one and a half semesters at a community college. Admission often requires a high school diploma and scores from an assessment examination.
A certificate in home health care qualifies graduates to work in entry-level positions as home health aides. Students should have strong communication skills because they will be interacting with patients many times during the day. Some of the courses cover topics such as medical terminology, life support systems and math used to determine medication amounts. Students also learn how to attend to patients who have special diets and certain nutritional needs. A component of the program may allow students to gain some health aide training while under the supervision of a health care professional.
Only those home health aides who work for agencies and companies that receive Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement are required to complete certification by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Before a graduate of a certificate program in home health care can apply for work, he or she must have at least 16 hours of supervised experience with a patient, according to the federal government.
Many certificate programs include a work experience component, but some do not. State training programs address this discrepancy, and agency-employed home health aides are required to complete at least 75 hours of supervised training, observation and documentation of skills. Additionally, a comprehensive examination is required. In some instances, the exam may be taken without the supervised training. Aspiring home health aides should contact their states for specific requirements.
Career Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov), home health aides are expected to see a 38% growth in job openings between 2014 and 2024, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. The primary reason for this excellent job growth is the rise in the number of elderly patients. Many elderly patients choose to live at home but need assistance with daily activities and household chores. The BLS reports that the annual median salary in 2015 for a home health aide was $21,920.
The projected growth of jobs for home health aides in the decade between 2014 to 2024 indicates that this may be a great time for individuals looking to enter this profession. Depending on they employer, certification might be required prior to practicing.

text: WASHINGTON, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy efficiency is a good business decision for businesses, homeowners and the government, said John Mandyck, chief sustainability officer, UTC Climate, Controls & Security at today's Energy Efficiency Global Forum 2013 in Washington, D.C. UTC Climate, Controls & Security is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). United Technologies Corporation, in collaboration with the Rhodium Group, analyzed the impact of a 30 percent improvement in U.S. building efficiency by 2030 in a new report, Unlocking American Efficiency: The Economic and Commercial Power of Investing in Energy Efficient Buildings. According to the findings, improving energy efficiency in buildings by 30 percent would create a $275 billion market for advanced technology, engineering and design services, and construction activity in the U.S. alone - that's larger than the total U.S. advertising market. The energy savings would generate $34 billion per year for American businesses, net of investment expenses, that could either be passed on to consumers or used to hire more employees or invest in R&D or expanded production. Households would save an additional $23 billion per year that they could use to save for the future, invest in education, or spend on consumer goods or personal services. And federal, state and local governments in budget-constrained times would save more than $8 billion annually, equivalent to funding the National Science Foundation or nearly all of the annual budget for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "Energy efficiency has played an important role in American productivity and environmental protection. Now building efficiency is a pivotal investment strategy to free an estimated $65 billion in annual cash flow for households, businesses and governments across the country," Mandyck said. "Improving the energy efficiency of buildings increases the productivity of existing assets, guards against future energy price hikes and offers some of the most attractive rates of return available today." In the residential sector, the report determined that achieving a 30 percent efficiency improvement in existing residential buildings would require investing $115 billion in energy efficient technology and design. This investment would more than pay for itself in energy cost savings, additionally generating an estimated improvement in average household cash flow of $163 a year, equal to the average annual household spend on fresh vegetables. The 32-page report, which addresses America's efficiency opportunity, raising household income, the global market opportunity and policy recommendations, was prepared by the Rhodium Group (RHG), which combines policy experience, quantitative economic tools and on-the-ground research to analyze global trends.

Cyborg Superman (LSHAU)
this wiki
Conjectural Title
In the continuity of the Legion of Super-Heroes animated series, the Cyborg-Superman is actually a robotic caretaker of the Future Fortress of Solitude and refers to Superman as its master. It is encountered when Imperiex invaded the fortress of Solitude, revealing itself to the rest of the Legion when Superman and Imperiex's forces were shrunk and teleported to a shrunk Kandor City. He explained to the Legion what happened, and that Superman forgot to wear his protective suit due to Kandor city's artificial red sun.
Powers and Abilities
- His appearance is based on the Cyborg Superman, but his functions and origins are more similar to either Kelex (New Earth) or the Eradicator.
- 1 Appearances of Cyborg Superman (LSHAU)

IU official heading to Ukraine as election monitor
An Indiana University administrator will be heading to Ukraine to serve as an election monitor for that country's upcoming presidential vote.
Kathy Parkison is the interim vice chancellor for academic affairs at Indiana University Kokomo. She is to travel with a U.S. Department of State group to document voting in the eastern European country that has faced violent unrest for months.
Parkison will be in Ukraine May 19-25. The Kokomo Tribune reports she and election observers from other countries will watch polling sites for signs of voter intimidation and fraud.
Parkison says the volunteer work helps her show a commitment to the democratic process. She has previously observed elections in Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Macedonia and Moldova.

Name: GoBig7
Website: www.gobig7.com
Price: $7
Rank: 20/100 – Scam.
What Is It?
GoBig7 is one of the latest online marketing products to hit the web claiming to help individuals make $19,659.60 by simply sponsoring just 2 people (who actually fill the matrix below them). They make it sound like filling this matrix isn't very hard and that they'll even go ahead and sponsor your first 2 people for you. I believe that is what's causing a lot of the potential positive reaction towards a product like GoBig7. But the reality is, sponsoring 2 people is just the very start of a long road ahead.
How Much Is It?
One of the benefits of GoBig7 is the fact they don't charge you a lot of money and there aren't any upsells. So this can be a nice way for someone new to this all getting started in learning how to recruit others. On the other hand, this is a "matrix" product so really the only thing you're trying to do here is recruiting others just to make a small commission. It's $7 per month to get started which only really gives you two things… A team page to promote and "rock bottom price" advertising. Really, what you're paying for is an opportunity to make money online.
How GoBig7 Works?
GoBig7 encourages as much possible team build effort by offering you a 100% matching bonus for each member you recruit into the program and pays the monthly fee. The money being made here is by recruiting people into the program itself so really it's like an MLM without much of a product.
What you'll begin to realize with GoBig7 is if you want to get "wealthy," you'll probably want to join something else! Most people in these types of programs don't end up making a lot of money at all, and for good reason.
#1 – Low pricing and commissions.
#2 – Need your team to recruit 1,000's of individuals to see much of anything.
In-fact, I've seen programs like GoBig7 in the past where people had recruited up to 10,000 or so members and making less than $1,000 per month. Imagine all that work and for so little. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise me one bit. If you take a look at GoBig7 they really don't offer much value or much of anything at all.
As a result the small $.30 cent commissions could take you a long time to build up. To make just $1,000 in commissions, you would need to recruit over 4,000 members.. That's a ton!
There have been many similar opportunities online such as Penny Matrix and Feeder Matrix, which really consist of the same thing and have been online for years now. In-fact Penny Matrix actually claims the same exact thing! Earning $19,659.60 by sponsoring just two people. What most people find with these are how difficult it can be to recruit others into an opportunity without a whole lot of direction and the fact you need a ton of people in order to make this work, especially given the low commissions made.
- Easy To Get Involved With.
- Low-Risk.
- Small Price To Pay.
- Lacks Training.
- Must Recruit 24/7.
- Must Have a Large & Solid Team.
Is GoBig7 a Scam?
It depends how you look at it.. But just the structure of the matrix system and false $20k per month advertising can be very misleading. They claim that the 2 referrals is all you need to get started and from there, it's just minimal work. But I must disagree. To make an opportunity like GoBig7 work, you're going to need to put in as much effort as you possibly could with a proper strategy in place. Most people will join opportunities like GoBig7 because of the chance their missing out, but you're not! Remember, you're making only .30 cents for each referral and need 1,000's before you can even make a $1,000 income. Even then it's important to note, I've seen products like this come and go in the dozens!
They Key To Online Success!
The key to making a solid income online is not by recruiting 1,000's of individuals just to make some 30 cent commissions. It doesn't add up or make any sense. If you look at the owners behind products like GoBig7, they are the ones making the other $6.70 while they leave you with just about nothing. And in my opinion, GoBig7 is nothing more than a big fat ponzi scheme that is as far from a legitimate opportunity as it can get.
Making an online income consists of steps and a proper plan in place. Once you execute these steps, you'll understand that any amount of money can be made. Just like GoBig7, your business is a numbers game. The more people who get exposed to your business, the more money you make. Whether you're promoting high ticket items off Amazon, or your own MLM/affiliate marketing opportunity, this is the one online marketing product I recommend above all!

We welcome members from the municipal sector, as well as IT & Communications organizations from across North America. We offer a variety of forums that encourage networking and business development, including large conferences, regional workshops, professional development training and social events.
MISA was founded on the concepts of sharing best practices, collaboration among peers and volunteerism. These attributes remain fundamental to who we are and how we operate. Our chapters across Canada work closely together and guide the evolution of our national body, MISA/ASIM Canada.
If you'd like to find out more about MISA/ASIM Canada, please refer to the "Contacts" tab above and reach out to your local chapter. Or, go to the "Membership" tab above and explore the drop down menu for additional information and how to get involved. Consider joining MISA - after all, we're in IT together
The five founding organizations of MISA/ASIM Canada are:
Municipal Information Systems Association, British Columbia (MISA BC)
The BC Chapter of the Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) was formed in April 1994, with initial membership of more than 20 municipalities in British Columbia.
Today the chapter has about 70 municipal members and 30 associate members, and is incorporated as a not-for-profit society. Among its members are the territories of Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon. Details of membership and activities can be found at http://www.misa.bc.ca/.
MISA BC provides a forum for municipal IT professionals to exchange information with their peers who are involved in the evaluation, design, creation or acquisition, installation, implementation, maintenance and operation of municipal information systems.
Throughout the year, MISA BC sponsors spring and fall conferences and specialized events designed for MISA members and their colleagues to come together and share knowledge and solutions for the IT industry.
Municipal Information Systems Association, Prairies (MISA Prairies)
MISA Prairies was originally conceived of in November 2002 as part of a larger initiative to create a national organization. MISA Prairies representatives subsequently met at MISA BC meetings and worked toward establishing a Prairies chapter. In September 2005 MISA Prairies had enough members to institute a more formal organization.
MISA Prairies represents municipalities in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Prairies Chapter has 55 member municipalities and 20 associate members and it continues to grow each year.
MISA Prairies holds an annual conference and AGM in the spring.
Municipal Information Systems Association, Ontario (MISA Ontario)
MISA Ontario was established in the mid-1970s to assist municipal government representatives and others interested in the effective use of information technology to provide better and more cost-effective services to municipal taxpayers and clients.
As a not-for-profit incorporation, its objectives are:
MISA Ontario has about 100 municipal members and 70 associate partners.
Réseau de l'Informatique Municipale du Québec (RIMQ)
RIMQ 's mission is to support the exchange and improvement of knowledge among information resource managers in Québec's municipalities in order to optimize the business processes of member municipalities seeking to better serve their citizens.
Formerly known as IMQ, RIMQ was founded in 1982. Its membership representatives are generally administrators involved in IT management.
RIMQ is composed of 47 member municipalities that represent nearly 70 per cent of Québec's population. The association also includes affiliated companies among major suppliers to the municipal sector.

Mr. Kerr: The Afterlife... Pt. 3Mature
After Aubrey had finished telling him, Mr. Kerr was shocked.
Grace did it. I always thought it was that slut, Stacey.
White Mr. Kerr was pondering this a train pulled into the station. Aubrey looked up at it then turned to Mr. Kerr.
"That's your train."
Mr. Kerr then looked at it and too his horror he saw thousands of spiders; small, large, black, red, and brown. His face turned white as the doors parted and the hoard of spiders cascaded onto the floor and swarmed Arnold. Arnold then began to scream, as spiders scared him, this only allowed the spiders to crawl down his throat however, lengthening his torture. Then, the spiders managed to pull and drage him across the floor and into the train. And the doors closed as the last spider went back into the train.
All the spiders began to bite at Arnold, trying to make him stop squirming. But, Arnold then realized something horrifying. No matter how much venom he was stuck with, he would not die. He would be forever conscious of every single bite, and then he began to notice his skin reforming. At this sudden realization he began to understand,
This is my punishment for eternity.
Then, as the train left the station, he cried in agony, like he will be doing forever.
Aubrey remained in the platform and was particularly excited when a train came in. The doors opened and she walked on, and sat on one of the cushioned seats. She noticed a man across from her reading the paper.
"Do you know why it took so long for the train to come?"
He nodded.
"There was no justice."
At saying which he went back to reading the news. Aubrey then thought about this answer and liked it. And she thought of how long it took.
Thank you, Mr. Super-awesome-crime-fighting-detective-guy.
And for a moment, as the train entered a bright, warm and blissful light, she felt like he had heard her. And he was welcome.
Mr. Whithers was sitting in a coffee shop reading the newspaper. He took a sip of his Mocha Locha Tocha Chapocha and wiped off his milk moustache. Then, from somewhere behind him he heard a whispering thank you waft by. And his heart became warm and he felt the urge to laugh. It was now, that he finally realized, that Aubrey was now at peace.

Pairings: ShikaNaru, KakaIru, LeeSaku, KibaShino, ChouHina, InoNejiTen (triangle). The main focus of this story is on ShikaNaru and the other pairings may be mentioned but not shown that much, I haven't decided yet.
Warnings: This is yaoi, so there will be homosexual pairings in this story. If this bothers you then please don't read this story. Mature content, crude language, cursing and sexual references are in this story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters. This story is a work of fiction based on the Naruto manga and anime series.
Ages: Naruto, along with the ones he graduated with at the academy, are all 16 years old. Neji, Lee and Tenten are 17. Kakashi is 30 and Iruka is 29.
Sasuke is still with Orochimaru, and this is AU because it differs from what the manga has happen after Naruto came back from his 2 and half years training with Jiraiya. When Naruto came back he took the Chuunin exam with Chouji and Hinata and all three passed it and became chuunins. Their other team mates and friends had already become chuunin while Naruto was gone. Neji is the only one that passed the Jounin exams and became a jounin.
Thoughts and dreams are represented by italics.
Chapter One – Blue skies and Blue eyes
He doesn't know when he first started noticing Naruto's blue eyes more than the loud orange of his clothes. It had started out gradually over the past few months and he just couldn't stop thinking about them. Maybe it was the fact that the color reminded him of the sky on a beautiful day that had lots of fluffy white clouds drifting along. And then there is the hair. Golden as the sun that shines on those beautiful, lazy days.
Shikamaru had been friends with Naruto for several years now. Despite the fact that the hyperactive teenager drove him so crazy sometimes, that he just wanted to smack him, there was just something special about his blue-eyed friend. He would always act like Naruto was too troublesome for him to deal with, but that was a lie. He actually admired the blond a lot. Even envied him. The admiration was because of the blond's willingness to fight to the bitter end to save those he cares about. The stubbornness to not back down from any fight, even if the odds were against him.
The envy he felt was because the blond had so much stamina and strength. He made Shikamaru feel guilty sometimes when he'd rather lay around and do nothing. But because of Naruto, Shikamaru has changed some. He is willing to do what it takes if it means the life and death of a friend, or even a fellow shinobi. He did that a few years ago for the traitor, Uchiha Sasuke. And he has done it a few times more since then.
Shikamaru was currently enjoying his favorite pastimes. Cloud-watching and thinking of his best friend. There was a time when Chouji was his best friend. But ever since Naruto had come back from his training with Jiraiya, that position had been taken over by Naruto.
Naruto is should to be back from his mission now. I wonder if I should head over to Ichiraku's to see if he's there. Even if he's not, it is about lunch time now.
Shikamaru worked at the Ninja Academy in the mornings. He would teach the students weapons training for a couple hours a day. Then he would have the rest of the day off until it was time for him to go to his other job, where he would work in the Mission's office and collect the mission reports brought back by the ninja, that came in to turn them in, and then they would collect their pay. He would work there for a few hours after lunch, then he would finally be finished for the day.
Despite the fact that he found both his jobs tedious, the jobs allowed for him to have plenty of free time everyday, so he could enjoy his cloud-watching. There was the occasional day or two a week that he would have to go on a mission himself, if there were more missions than normal.
Shikamaru got up off the ground where he had been laying. He put his hands in his pockets and casually strolled off in the direction of the ramen stand.
Naruto was sitting at the ramen stand, working on finishing up his third bowl of miso ramen. He was the only one seated at the counter, all the other customers were inside the restaurant seated at the booths and tables. Naruto always preferred eating at the counter. He hated eating inside because of all the hateful glares he would receive from some of the other customers.
Even after all the years of having to endure the glares and the hatred, Naruto still didn't have a tough enough skin to ignore it and pretend it didn't hurt. Yes, he had his mask of fake smiles he used, but inside it hurt him and he was so tired of it. If it weren't for his friends, he would have either moved away from the village to find peace somewhere else or maybe even withdrawn into himself and become depressed.
But his friends kept him going, gave him a reason to live and a reason to stay in the village. He also still wanted to be Hokage some day and make life in the village better for everyone.
Shikamaru walked up and saw Naruto seated at the counter, he sat down beside him and looked at him. "Hey Naruto."
Naruto looked up at Shikamaru and smiled at his friend. "Hey Shika!"
Shikamaru ordered a bowl of chicken ramen from the waitress, Ayame. Then turned back to Naruto. "How was the mission?"
Naruto finished the last bit of his ramen then turned back to his friend. "Boring! I'm so tired of the C and D rank missions I've been getting. Today was supposed to be a C one but it really should have been D."
"How so?" Shikamaru started eating. He had heard these complaints from Naruto before. Practically every time Naruto came back from a mission. But he didn't feel like angering Naruto by telling him that he kept repeating himself all the time.
Naruto got a disgusted look on his face. "It was an escort mission, but it was only to escort a spoiled rich kid from here to her village, two miles away. Sheesh! I had to listen to her brag about how much her father spoiled her and gave her everything she wanted. And about how important her father was in her own village. The kid never shut up the whole trip! Of course no one attacked us to make the trip more exciting, and to get the kid to shut up. Why do I always get the worst missions? Huh? Can you tell me that!" Naruto had started yelling by the end of his speech.
Shikamaru had started wincing from the pain caused by sitting too close to the loud ninja. Then he realized he was supposed to say something now. "Hmm...sounds like it was troublesome." His old standby answer for everything. It was expected after all.
"You have no idea, Shika!" Naruto yelled, but not as loud as before. Then he shook his head. "I wish Tsunade baa-chan would give me an A or B mission to make up for all these lousy ones I've been getting for the past month. But she keeps insisting that there aren't enough to go around, and that the more experienced ninjas get first priority on the available ones. I'm never going to be Hokage doing these crappy missions all the time! I need more experience and the only way to get it is to do A and B missions."
Shikamaru understood Naruto's frustrations and he wished there was a way he could cheer up his friend. "Hey Naruto."
"Yes, Shika?"
"Do you have another mission tomorrow?"
"No, that damn old hag claims there is a shortage in missions at the moment and told me to take the next two days off." Naruto was not happy about it and it showed on his face. Naruto always goes to the Hokage whenever he gets back from his missions in order to try and get her to give him better ones.
Maybe I can help get Naruto to feel better. I hate seeing him like this, I miss his cheerfulness and smile. "Well tomorrow I only have to work for a few hours at the Academy, I don't have a shift at the Mission's office tomorrow, so I have the rest of the day free. Would you like to spend the day with me tomorrow?"
Naruto looked with surprise at Shikamaru. He wants to spend his free time with me? "Um, yeah sure. I'd love to, Shika!" Naruto smiled with happiness at his friend.
Shikamaru smiled back at him. "Great. I get finished at the Academy at eleven so do you want to meet here after to eat first, then we can go cloud-watching and talk?" I love seeing that look of happiness on Naruto's face. He should always look this way. It makes him look beautiful. Why am I using the word beautiful to describe him? Hmm but the word does fit him.
"Sure, Shika that sounds like fun!" Naruto smiled again and gave Shika a real smile that was big and full of happiness. Shika is such a good friend to me. I'm so lucky to have him in my life.
There is that smile again, it touches something in my heart. It's rare to see him give a smile like that. Every time I see it, it makes me want to see it all the time. Naruto has had such a hard life. He doesn't deserve the treatment that he gets from the villagers. I don't understand how anyone could hate such a bright light in the world, as Naruto is. It makes no sense to me at all. One of these days I'll figure out why so many seem to hate him. I wonder if Naruto knows why. Would he tell me if he did?
Shikamaru pulled out his wallet and paid for his and Naruto's meals.
"Shikamaru, you don't have to do that!" Naruto had changed over the last few years. He no longer begged others to pay for his ramen. In the past he did it because he didn't receive a lot of money when he was younger, and had to pay for his own rent and other living expenses, and so he had to be careful about not having enough money for food. But now he made enough money on missions that he could afford to eat and he didn't want to scrounge off his friends anymore.
"It's okay, Naruto. I want to pay for it." Shikamaru smiled at him. "Well, I'll meet you here at a little past eleven tomorrow."
Naruto gave in to Shikamaru's insistence on paying for his ramen and smiled back. "You bet! I'll be here waiting!"
"Bye, Naruto." Shikamaru turned to leave.
"Bye Shika! And thanks!"
Shikamaru gave Naruto a wave as he left, then headed in the direction of the Hokage Tower where the Mission's office was located.
Naruto smiled and waved at Ayame. "See you later Ayame!" As Naruto walked home, he thought about how nice Shikamaru was being to him. He had noticed that Shikamaru had been coming to the ramen stand a lot during the past month and that it seemed to be whenever Naruto would be there.
Shika has become my best friend now. I used to think he was just a lazy ass when we were younger. But after our mission to try and save Sasuke, I realized how very smart he is and also how dedicated he can be as a shinobi. He risked his life for his team and the mission. Since then I've come to admire him a lot. I trust him with my life. I also enjoy all the times we spend together. I don't know why he's been so nice to me. But I'm glad for it all the same.
Naruto reached his apartment and unlocked his door. He went inside and took his sandals off at the door. Then he hung up his jacket on the coat rack that was nailed to the wall by the door. He headed to the kitchen and got a glass out, then filled it with water from the tap in the sink. He then headed for the living room and set the glass down on the coffee table in front of his couch. Then he sprawled himself out on the couch. He reached for the water and took a big gulp from the glass, then set the glass back down.
"Here I was in such a bad mood earlier after coming off the mission. Now I can't even remember why and it's all thanks to Shika. I need to remember to tell him how much I appreciate him, tomorrow. I don't want him to think I take his friendship for granted. It's too precious for me to lose." Naruto spoke aloud to himself in his lonely, empty apartment. But he didn't feel lonely at the moment. He felt very happy.
Shikamaru sat down at the long table, that was where the chuunin that worked in the office would sit and wait for teams, or those ninja that did solo missions, to come in and hand in their mission reports. It was also where Shikamaru and his co-workers would hand out any new missions, if any were available. His job also required him to hand out the paychecks.
It was a very boring job in Shikamaru's opinion. So he would spend the time just thinking, while waiting for ninja to arrive. At the moment, the only ones in the office were the workers, and Shikamaru's co-workers were busy signing off on the mission reports and then filing them in the file cabinets, that were lined up behind them.
I wish Naruto didn't care so much for Sakura. I hate seeing him pining away for her when she doesn't seem to have the same feelings towards him. Girls are so troublesome anyway. I've told him that many times but he just ignores it.
A few more minutes go by...He really does have the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. I'd rather look at them than any girl's eyes. I really can't stand looking at any part of a girl, let alone their eyes. And their voices just grate on my nerves. I used to think that one day I would settle down with some girl that was not pretty and yet not ugly and have two kids, a boy and a girl. How stupid I was then! There is no way that could make me happy. I don't want to become like my Dad and be a slave to some female. Mom can be so scary. Dad says it's worth it but I think he's full of shit. How could it be worth it? I'd rather marry Naruto!
Another minute goes by...Whoa did I just think that? What am I thinking!
Luckily for Shikamaru's peace of mind, a team arrived to hand in their mission report. It was Kiba and Shino. Hinata had stopped going on missions with them because she was training to become a medical nin.
"Yo, Shikamaru!" Kiba greeted his friend.
Shino just nodded at Shikamaru.
Kiba handed Shikamaru the mission report. Shikamaru opened the scroll and read it. Then handed both Kiba and Shino their paychecks. He signed off on the report and handed it to the chuunin beside him. "Looks like you guys had an easy mission."
"Too damn easy! I'm getting really pissed at getting missions that genin could handle with their eyes closed!" Kiba ranted.
Kiba sounds almost like Naruto. "Yes, some others have been complaining too. But you know how it can get sometimes. Sometimes having peace with your neighbors can be so boring."
"You said it! I'm beginning to feel like my skills are getting rusty, what I wouldn't give right now for a freaking A mission! Right Akamaru?" Kiba looked down at Akamaru who was lying down on the floor next to him and looking bored.
"See even Akamaru is getting bored with our missions!" Kiba grinned at Shikamaru.
I agree with Kiba about the lack of good missions, but he's really annoying the hell out of me. All he does is complain all the time and now he's got Akamaru doing it too. There would be a frown on Shino's face if he was someone else. Since he wasn't, his face remained impassive as he listened to his team mate's complaints.
No, even though Kiba shares some personality traits as Naruto, I'd rather listen to Naruto complain all day then to listen to Kiba do it for even a few minutes. Shikamaru was handed a scroll from the man sitting beside him and told it was to be given to Kiba and Shino. He handed it over to Kiba. "Here's your next mission, have a good evening." Shikamaru hoped Kiba would get the hint and leave.
Kiba was about to say something more to Shikamaru, but Shino turned away to leave the Mission's office and said as he was leaving, "Thank you and have a good evening too, Shikamaru."
"Um, yeah, thanks and see you later, Shika!" Kiba and Akamaru followed their team mate out of the office.
Thank God! Now I can get back to my thoughts again. Now what was I thinking about before being rudely interrupted. Hmmm...oh yes, Naruto. I can't wait till tomorrow. I actually feel excited. This is weird...but it's a nice kinda weird.
Shikamaru had a big smile on his face. His two chuunin co-workers looked at him with surprise, and then looked at each other with a questioning look on their faces. Then both just shrugged and went back to their work.

"A public policy center is the face of the university to the community," said Jim Granato, director of the University of Houston Center for Public Policy. The face of Houston shows the weathered challenges of a big city — crime, education, infrastructure — perfect fodder for research.
"The issues of the day, particularly energy, are centered here. What's happening in Houston and what we study in Houston are going to have implications nationally," he said.
The Center for Public Policy currently is compiling information for a Houston real estate database. Researchers also have examined the Houston economy, politics and elections, the efficiency of Conducted Energy Devices and, for the state, demographics of lottery players.
"The biggest selling point this center has is how we study something," Granato said. "We want to bring a combination of case study, statistical analysis, mathematical modeling and visualization."
In addition, through partnerships with state and federal elected officials, more than 225 students have interned in government offices through the successful Mickey Leland Congressional Internships — a program that has produced a new generation of public servants.
The Center for Public Policy is part of what's happening at the University of Houston. I'm Marisa Ramirez.

Brazil's wireless market is poised for consolidation say some analysts, though there's far from any consensus view.
U.S. shares of TIM Participacoes (TSU), the country's No. 2 wireless service provider and controlled by Telecom Italia (TIA), have risen in the past month or so, and 2% on Monday, on expectations it could be sold or divvied up. Speculation rose last week on word that Spain's Telefonica (TEF) is upping its investment in Telecom Italia.
A lot of companies have a play in Brazil's wireless market, a situation that gets even more complex as Telefonica hikes its stake in the holding company that is Telecom Italia's biggest shareholder, though its voting stake will remain the same.
Telefonica already owns Vivo, Brazil's No. 1 wireless firm. No. 2 TIM has been the market's fastest-growing company. Mexico's America Movil (AMX) owns No. 3 Claro. Oi, formed in the 2009 merger of Telemar Participacoes and Brazil Telecom, is No. 4. Portugal Telecom (PT) bought a 25% stake in Oi for $4.8 billion in 2010.
Telefonica is expected to tighten its grip on Telecom Italia in 2014. Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, may force Telecom Italia to sell TIM because of Telefonica's ownership of Vivo.
Macquarie Capital and Barclays are in the camp that says TIM could be broken up, with Vivo bidding on the lion's share of assets while Claro and homegrown Oi gobble up other government-required divestitures. Anatel is said to prefer an outright sale of TIM, but a foreign buyer might be hard to scratch up, some analysts say.
Reducing the number of large wireless services providers in Brazil from four to three would be viewed favorably by Wall Street analysts, because the four carriers' profit margins have been falling amid fierce competition. Brazil's once red-hot economy has slowed, forcing many consumers to cut back, and the battle for high-spending customers has heated up.
No Consensus Opinion
But despite hopes for consolidation, some analysts caution that regulators won't permit deals that reduce competition.
"I suspect people will wake up on New Year's Day in 2015 and there will still be four players and they'll have the same names. I don't see any major changes or consolidation for a while," Wally Swain, a Yankee Group analyst based in Colombia, told IBD.
Christopher King, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, agrees that regulators prefer a four-player market. King doubts a foreign company such as the U.K.'s Vodafone (VOD), China Mobile (CHL) or Russia's Vimpelcom (VIP) would bid for TIM.
"It is unlikely that any of the other three major current players in Brazil (Telefonica, America Movil or Oi) would be allowed to acquire the No. 2 wireless player in the country, and carriers that wish to enter Brazil are not likely to pay a significant premium ... given the fierce competition, slowing growth and high penetration levels," King said in a research report.
Other analysts argue that consolidation is possible. Brazil's government has cracked down on service quality as the nation prepares to host the 2014 soccer World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. It has pressured wireless firms to speed up their 4G build-outs.
Anatel might be open to M&As that result in raising the quality of the nation's wireless services, Morgan Stanley says in a research note.
Telefonica spun off its German wireless unit in 2012, but it's maintained its assets in Latin America. Besides Brazil, Telefonica operates in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia.
If Vivo were managed separately from Telefonica, Swain says Brazil's regulators would still frown upon an acquisition of TIM. "I don't believe the Brazilian government would allow a Vivo and TIM to combine under any circumstances," he said.
Both Telefonica and Telecom Italia have piled on debt. They're struggling to cope with weak economies in Spain and southern Europe.
Also, by drawing closer Telefonica and Telecom Italia could be preparing for U.S. carrier AT&T (T)'s expected entry into Europe, some analysts say.
AT&T is said to be eying Vodafone, which is selling its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless. AT&T has also reportedly been interested in Everything Everywhere, a U.K.-based wireless joint venture owned by France's Orange and Germany's Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY).

Ergon road crash heroes thanked by police

- Ergon road crash heroes thanked by police
Published: 18 Aug 2015 3:34pm
A Mareeba-based Ergon Energy work crew have been thanked by Queensland Police for their quick thinking and assistance at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Cape York earlier this month.
The Ergon crew were heading back to their depot when they encountered the aftermath of a serious traffic crash 85 kilometres south of Coen on August 8.
Ergon Technical Service Persons David Hine, Jason Shorey and Martin McDonald along with Distribution Powerline Apprentice Michael Martin were among the first on the scene and rendered basic first aid whilst also helping ensure safety at the crash site and communicating with emergency services.
Queensland Police have also recognised the efforts of the Ergon team in reassuring a nine year old boy who was trapped in a vehicle. They also assisted with extracting the boy from the vehicle.
Acting Senior Constable Derek Hicks from Coen Police Station described the Ergon team's assistance as "absolutely invaluable".
"It is without doubt, their professionalism, care and dedication resulted in a positive outcome in all involved surviving the crash and the boy being safely removed from the vehicle," Acting Senior Constable Hicks said in communicating his thanks recently.
"I know the family of those injured wanted us to pass on their heartfelt thanks to Ergon," Acting Senior Constable Hicks said.
Ergon Customer Delivery Manager Charlie Casa said that while delivering life-saving heroics wasn't necessarily part of a normal day's work for Ergon field crews, he was none-the-less proud of his team's efforts and professionalism in stepping up on the day.
"We live and work in regional Queensland and know the challenges this can present," Mr Casa said, "and this was one of those days when our crew's training, abilities and common sense saved lives."
"I'm incredibly proud of them as is everyone in Ergon," Mr Casa said.
The assistance at the scene of this accident was timely given a renewed commitment to road safety by Ergon this year.
Ergon recently announced that all staff (field and office-based) will be required to undergo a compulsory driving safety course.
Ergon is also supporting the Queensland Government's "Speak up for Road Safety" campaign under the "Join the Drive to Save Live's" driver and road safety campaign.

I think that there is no particular reason that a moon shouldn't have a moon, however it probably wouldn't be a very stable situation, as the tidal forces from the nearby planet would tend to destabilise the orbit of the moon's moon. Essentially becasue you have 3 bodies, energy can be transferred between the two moons so their orbits can change with time.Planets are essentially moons of the sun and they have moons, so it is possible but they are a long long way from the sun so their orbits are fairly stable.
Luna is, of course, unfeasibly large, relative to its planet.
I'm not sure that Luna stabilises the Earth in any particular way
Over the last 5 million years, the obliquity of the ecliptic (or more accurately, the obliquity of the Equator on the moving ecliptic of date) has varied from 22.0425° to 24.5044°, but for the next one million years, the range will be only from 22.2289° to 24.3472°.Other planets may have a variable obliquity, too; for example, on Mars, the range is believed to be between 11° and 49° as a result of gravitational perturbations from other planets. The relatively small range for the Earth is due to the stabilizing influence of the Moon
...for example, on Mars, the range is believed to be between 11° and 49° as a result of gravitational perturbations from other planets.

Nokomis plays in the Class B Girls game at 7:00 and Camden Hills plays in the Class B Boys final at 8:45. Prescott Rossi caught up with both teams as they get ready to play for a gold ball.Each team in the state championship is allowed one practice on the floor they will play on. Even for three time defending regional champions Camden Hills, the floor at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland takes some getting used to.Jeff Hart – Camden Hills Head Coach"Well, it's different, it's different but these guys have played so much in different places."Keegan Pieri – Camden Hills Senior"I really like this atmosphere, it's a little tough to get used to with the background, but once you do, I like it down here."Last year, Camden Hills lost in overtime to Falmouth in the state final. The memories of that loss have been a continuing source of motivation to the Windjammers.Tyler McFarland – Camden Hills Senior"It's what motivated us in the offseason, in the preseason, and now in the season and postseason to get better and to get to the point where we don't have to have that same feeling again."On the girls side, Nokomis is in the state final for the second year in a row. They say they have unfinished business after losing last years state final to York.Kori Dionne – Nokomis Head Coach"Last year was just an accomplishment to get here this year we feel like we have something to proove and it's really not good enough for us to just be here."Nokomis will face Leavitt in this years state championship. The Warriors lost to the Hornets once in the regular season and they will try to get some payback as well as bring back a gold ball to Newport.Julie Smith – Nokomis Senior"Kristen Anderson can shoot from NBA range. They're just a hard working team but it's going to be a battle I'm glad we're playing them."

Kyle: War inside.
I felt my body hit the ground, the lack of energy started a war inside me , The agents of death , attacking the side of life. Imbetween my mind was getting beaten and crushed.
" No god dammit I control this body!" I try to convince myself. , as two crushing relentless pressures , push up against me. I had to think quickly or else I will die, and something new will be emmerge from me. There was only on solution, absorb. I stop fighting the two pressures , and grab them which in turn absorbs into me. Reality returns I can see a darkeness taking over my eyes, but through the darkness I see Dracula standing over me smiling. I can also see an unstable aura on around him. Wait thats my Aura. He begins to lean down , to touch me.
" I wouldn't do that." My voice sounds different it doesn't sound like Kyle, or the evil demonic Kyle.
Dracula steps back.
" What to you call yourself?"
What kinda question was that?
" Kyle you deranged idiot."
" You can't be you Aura , and whole entire being just changed Kyles mind should have been crushed in the process."
" It doesn't matter we haven't finished our fight." My eyes become much darker, and so doese my voice. Everything about me was fluctuating trying to balance itself off. I move my right arm whic scars the ground from the movement. I no longer needed a weapon, I'am the weapon.
Dracula blasts me with a large fireball which only hits me , and has no effect.
I swing my left arm , and he flys backwards.
" This is being a god must feel like." My voice covers the field, around me flames , and windcombine and compress into a pillar directed at Dracula. When it hits him the explosion of flames engulfs everyone. I luagh maniacally. My mind going between sanity and complete insanity.

32. Apples & Trees
Snakes in the etching ground,
We float around, itching for the action,
Kissing stars and aching windows crush,
I take down the apple,
Cut the tree in half.
Velvet press of morning,
A silken flag of forever settling
Over my skies of Eden.
Temptation rots in my heart gloom,
A crushed seed of promises
Licking wounds and settling in the earth,
To grow a slow and strangled death.
What if I had choked the snake,
And cut down the tree…?
What punishment then, would have been given to me?

Dark Intruder
Lovecraft eZine posted this today: a video link to Dark Intruder, an unsold TV pilot from 1966 with Lovecraftian overtones. It stars Leslie Nielsen as a rather suave 19th-century Carl Kolchak. You'll also see lots of familiar names from the era — it's produced by Jack Laird (Night Gallery), written by Barre Lyndon, with music by Lalo Schifin (Mission Impossible) — and also stars Mark Richman, Werner Klemperer, Judi Meredith, and Bill Quinn. I gave it a look tonight and found it quite entertaining; the Lovecraft influence is definitely there, and not done badly. Rick Lai gives a decent overview, as well as a link to the video itself here. Check it out if you've got an hour.

nNo, it's just the format of the show is something of a precursor to the Night Stalker.

Willunga 100 McLaren Vale Tempranillo 750ml 6 or 12 bottles
Tempranillo is a variety that originates from the Rioja region of Spain, a region dominated by a Mediterranean climate and sandy based soils with a significant concentration of limestone.
Tasting Note - Aromatics of black cherry, sweet plum and hints of all spice are evident, whilst the palate is a little more serious with blackberries, spice and an earthiness that gives the wine a savoury note. The tannins are fine yet promote great length in the wine, backed up by a balanced acid structure.
