The Cross
Lucian grabbed her arm and dragged her inside the mansion, the door automatically closing behind them. He threw her to the ground and snarled. "How dare you judge me?" She looked up at him, but not into his eyes for fear of what she might see there. The marble ground beneath her was lit by a few dim oil-lamps that hung from the walls and the golden candelabra that hung from the ceiling. The flames never went out and yet the place was still cold when entered. "You can't judge me." He growled, by now the whole coven had gathered in the main hall, their gathering was silent as they gazed on. She looked to them briefly; she saw faces of shock, sorrow, anger, justice. She looked back to Lucian just in time to see his hand come crashing down on her cheek, leaving her cheeks a blistering red. "Look at me when I speak!" She knew this was the least that she was going to get, first the talk, then action.
"I told you, he will remain the pianist. You will not fraternise with humans unless you wish to feed from them!" He circled her like a vulture, a vulture that had fallen upon easy prey. "Yet you directly disobeyed me right under my nose Roxanne! Now you are on first name basis with a human you haven't even drunk from." His voice became calmer, but she knew he was only thinking. "A human, a simple, pathetic human, you should know better! Why do you constantly go after him, when I am right here, ready to give you everything!" His voice rose and she knew that his question needed no answer. "Now, under the rules of the coven, for breaking rules of conduct around humans and obeying a superior you shall be punished."
"Talk over."
He grabbed her left arm, pulling her up into the air so she dangled from his grip like a ragdoll. He gently slipped off her shoes, flinging them to one side before tearing at her dress. She closed her eyes, fighting back reality. Her porcelain, slender body was almost perfect, apart from the slight imperfection on her back. Only Lucian had previously known about this, now as she was all too aware, he was going to make it public news. Upon her back, to which she had kept so subtly covered was a giant cross. It was not a tattoo, but more a scar, a burn mark. It spanned across both her shoulder blades and ran from the bottom of her neck to the very bottom of her back.
Lucian held her close, in one final embrace, whispering a soft "sorry" into her ear before he told two of his guards to hold her. They hoisted her up by her arms, forcing her body into the shape of the cross, like she had been so long ago. Although she forced back the re-surfacing memories she could not hold them long. Her eyes firmly shut Lucian re-told the tale of her mark. Although it meant nothing to the coven he knew it was her most feared punishment.
"The 1800's, Roxanne here had just been turned. The church had been searching for demonic presences in her town." He stopped the story to kiss her cheek softly, pushing her hair behind her ears. "In the midst of the chaos, the town burnt to the ground for the church to find the source of the scourge they found... Roxanne, their 'taint'. Roxanne was stripped and hoisted into the air for all to see, there they took a shining silver cross and imbedded her skin with their mark, so wherever she went she would carry a warning. A warning to all vampires that dare cross her path, then, before her eyes, her sire was burnt." He concluded the story and a simultaneous gasp came from the audience, more of sympathy than shock. Roxanne bit back the tears that flowed behind her eyes as Lucian pulled forth the memory, making it surface in her mind.
The guards lowered her into Lucian's arms and he smiled, "its okay." He smiled, running his hands through her hair. "Justice has been done. Come, I will find you some blood and some clean clothes and we'll talk this over." Roxanne kept her eyes screwed shut. "Great. We get to 'talk.'" She thought as soon as she knew he was out of her mind. He carried her up the stairs and in through the big oak doors that led to his room. The room was all velvet and mahogany finishes. Gold accented furniture and rich parquet floors. She had never seen his room before but she knew it looked like this, it was so... Lucian.
He laid her on his giant bed, placing a low-cut dress beside her. A back-less, low-cut dress, she narrowed her eyes. "I'm not wearing that!" She cried and Lucian shot her a deadly serious look. "Yes, you are. We all know now and you won't be going out for a while, so what does it matter?" He smiled, his voice changing from a heavy demand to a lighter, friendly tone; which Roxanne didn't buy for a minute. She slipped on the dress and bowed politely and thanked him, forcing a smile to her lips. She got up from the bed and Lucian appeared in front of her holding two glasses of dark red liquid.
"Lucian, let me go." She pleaded, longing to just leave to her room and see Apollo again. He shook his head. "Not until you drink that." He smiled, sitting down as if it were going to take her the rest of the night. Roxanne put it to her lips and drank it in one, savouring the sweet taste it held. She opened the doors and turned to Lucian. "I don't want to talk." She murmured. "Good evening." She bowed politely and walked from his room, ignoring the stares she got from the other vampires.
She forced her way through the door to her room and sighed, slamming the door shut behind her. She lit the two candles that sat at her bedside and picked a book from her small shelf above it before settling down on the bed. She let out a long sigh and patted the bed beside her. Apollo panted heavily and excitedly jumped up onto the bed. "One day Apollo. One day this place will be a distant memory." She stroked his fur as he laid his head on her lap, letting out a faint whine. She pushed the events that had just happened to the back of her mind, allowing it to become another one of Lucian's snaps. She shook her head and opened the dusty book, a first edition of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." She smiled, "what a nice woman she was." She mumbled absently to herself before diving into pages of the book, allowing the story to take over her mind alleviating everything that had just happened, but still she couldn't help but think of Alistair and the loud ramblings coming from down the hall.


text: Everyone except those of us in shock from the sudden uproar whom are unable to move, we get to be the lucky few, because those who are running into the hall first are instantly attacked by the monstrous things awaiting us outside. I jump out of my seat and slam the door shut then lock it, feeling sorry for those unfortunate souls I had trapped outside. Sitting down with my back to the door trying to block out the screams coming from outside I try to make sense of this. Someone said "Another BS high school day." I look up to see who it is and realize it's was one of the basketball players. Anthony, I think his name is. I glance around the room; there are five of us including myself. Three girls, and two guys. Two of the girls look nervous or maybe scared; one just looks bored like Anthony. Standing up, I ask "Does anyone know what's going on out there?" And gesture behind me towards the door, that's when I notice the screaming outside the door, has stopped. No one says anything; they either have no idea or are just too terrified to speak up. I hear a faint shuffling coming from the hall outside, as if someone is walking past but dragging their feet; I back away from the door with fear. "Maybe we should b- barricade the d- door?" One of the girls stammers. I move a chair over to the door and lean it back under the handle to jam it. Another of the girls gasps and points at the bottom of the door noticing the shadows moving around outside. I place a finger on my lips and motion for everyone to be quiet; hoping whatever it was won't hear us and will go away. The shuffling sound the thing makes outside slowly fades as it moves away. We all sigh in relief. Turning around I study the faces of the three girls, recognizing one of them as Leila Skye, and other than Anthony I don't recognize any of the other others faces. Suddenly there's a loud crash that sounds like doors breaking down somewhere far down the hall. Everyone gets wide-eyes and listens hard for sounds of the things nearing. There's a scream which gets abruptly cut off; I decide to speak up to everyone else seeing as we really need to leave before they get to us. "Guys, we really need to get out of here, those things sound like they're coming closer, and as far as we know they're powerful enough to get through doors; which means it won't be long before they're right on top of us." I say, which makes one of the girls look like she's about to faint. I continue, "So I'm leaving, if any of you four want to come with, then let's go; if not, stay here and pray they don't find you." Turning I walk toward the door as silently as possible.

Sweet Home
this wiki
Sweet Home (スウィートホーム Suito Hōmu) is an RPG horror game developed and produced by Capcom, released only in Japan for the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) in 1989. Famed director Juzo Itami served as producer. It was produced to coincide with the (now obscure) Japanese horror movie of the same name that it is based on, and the film's trailer also advertises the game. Sweet Home was also supervised by the film's director Kiyoshi Kurosawa and is a forerunner of Capcom's Resident Evil horror game series.
The game received a lot of praise from critics, and it is considered not only one of the best Japanese RPG games but also one of the best games released on the Famicom/NES.
Plot Edit
Thirty years prior to the story, famous artist Ichirō Mamiya hid several precious frescos in his huge mansion before he mysteriously disappeared. In the present day, a team of five documentary filmers seek to recover the paintings from the abandoned, dilapidated mansion. Upon entering, they are trapped inside by the ghost of an unknown woman, who threatens to kill all trespassers. The team decides to split up and find a way out, but the mansion is both in danger of collapsing and is occupied by countless monsters.
The team discovers that the ghost is that of Lady Mamiya, Ichirō's wife. It is revealed that thirty years previously, Mamiya's two-year-old son had fallen in the house's incinerator and was burnt alive, and Mamiya attempted to provide playmates for her son by killing several other children. She committed suicide shortly after and her ghost, unable to forgive herself, became trapped in the mansion. The team arrives in the main chamber and confronts Mamiya in a final battle.
Gameplay Edit
The game features randomly encountered battles which the controlled character or party of characters must fight or run away from. If a character dies in battle, he or she cannot be revived throughout the course of the game. The five characters have a specific skill that is necessary to complete the game, although items that serve the same purpose can be found if one of the characters dies. For example, should Akiko (the team's nurse) die, the team may find pill bottles which can be used to heal ailments. Depending on how many characters remain alive after the defeat of the final boss, there are a total of five different endings the player may receive.
Development Edit
The game is stated as being a major inspiration for the Resident Evil games, and is widely believed to be the prototypical survival horror game (although the term did not come into popular use until after the release of Resident Evil years later).
Legacy Edit
Though it is a role-playing video game, Sweet Home served as the main inspiration for the seminal survival horror game Resident Evil, which was originally intended to be a remake of Sweet Home.
The first Resident Evil borrowed many elements from Sweet Home: the mansion setting; the puzzles; the item inventory management and limited inventory; the emphasis on survival; the "door" loading screen; the use of scattered notes as storytelling mechanics; multiple endings depending on how many characters survive; backtracking to previous locations in order to solve puzzles later on; the use of save rooms to store items when the player's inventory is full; the use of death animations; dual character paths; individual character items such as a lockpick or lighter; story told through frescos; and brutally horrific imagery.

I use mostly Kiehl's products…creme de corps is the only body lotion I really use. The Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser is incredible…it is formulated with Amazonian White Clay that gently cleanses oils and toxins out of your pores….I follow it up after with the lotion!
I am also trying the Fresh Sugar Rose lip treatment and it has not turned me down. It has a subtle rose tint…so if your not much of a lipstick wearer, try it!
If you are ever in Solana Beach, San Diego…check out SOLO it is in the Cedros Design District. My mom gifted me this vintage jewelry box from there(she knew I had been eyeing it for a while)…I love the hand painted birds and cherry blossom trees. Going in there is like going on a treasure hunt…you can spend hours in there trying to find the perfect gem!

Sorry, there are no The Railbenders headlines.
Sorry, there are no The Railbenders dates.
They've been called "country," "alt-country," and "outlaw country," but the phrase that might best describe the Railbenders is "hard country." This Denver, Colorado band has been playing unabashed, straight-no-chaser music that pulls no punches since 2000. Their music and dynamic live shows have made them one of the top draws in Colorado, bringing in a diverse fan base of all ages.
Formed by Jim Dalton (vocals, guitar) and Tyson Murray (upright bass), the Railbenders took a mutual love of Johnny Cash, Waylon, Hank Williams, rock 'n' roll, punk, whiskey, and threw it all together to create their own sound. Powered by the steady rolling' drums of Graham Haworth and the blazing guitar picking of Tony Nascar ("The Fastest Guitar in the West"), the band has garnered local awards, including "Top Country Band" by the Rocky Mountain News (2004 & 2005), and "Best Country/Roots Band" five years in a row (2002 to 2006) in the annual Westword Music Showcase.
The Railbenders have opened for country greats Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, and David Allan Coe. As well, they've shared bills with rock legends like ZZ Top, John Fogerty, Peter Frampton, the Doobie Brothers and .38 Special. The Railbenders won a multi-year sponsorship from Coors Brewing Company in 2004, and in 2007, they had the honor of performing at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, CA, where they opened a stage that featured Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Junior Brown, John Doe, Drive-By Truckers, and Alejandro Escovedo. And in 2008, the band played in the inaugural year of the Mile High Music Festival in Denver, sharing the spotlight with national headliners like the Dave Matthews Band and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.

Yesterday the Elysian's tower reached the 18th floor, 72m above sea level and one of the tallest buildings in the country. Apparently St Finbarre's Cathedral is 75m to it's central spire but there won't be a 2400sq ft penthouse at the top of that!
While we Irish congratulate ourselves on building an 18 storey lift shaft, here's one I made earlier in San Francisco. I tried counting the floors but lost count around 14!
Post no bills on the wooden boards surrounding the building site on Cornmarket Street. The red brick wall is the front of the old Guy and Company building. It looks like the builders are going to incorporate that into their new building which is great – mixing old with new.
See map for location.
I followed Mike's advice in his comment and bought a Wacom Graphire4 off Pixmania. Mynn's post about his Volito2 Graphics Tablet sealed the deal, especially when he said that the "A6 working area is MORE THAN ENOUGH". Hopefully it'll be delivered early next week. I'll ask Jacinta to open the box and verify that it's in one piece but I'm not going to touch it before Christmas Day!
I live in a city where the tallest building is one that will be 17 floors high so when I travel to far off lands it's always great to see tall skyscrapers looming over the streets.
This might bear a striking resemblance to a previous image but it is a different one and was one of my entries in the Patterns Around Us competition at my local camera club.
I have another 3 or 4 similar images but I'm not going to bore you to death by posting all of them unless I can come up with a nice montage effect or something. I'll have to think about it.
John asked what did he original Ready to go! look like and I'll oblige now. Showing what the original photo looks like is akin to showing what the first draft of a written essay or post reads like. Sometimes the image comes out perfectly in the camera but that's rarely the case. At the very least light levels have to be balanced and if resizing for publication online then the resized image has to be sharpened.
Hover over the image below to see what the original shot looked like. Hopefully this will work for RSS readers but if it doesn't, visit the blog and leave your mark here!
Notice how I rotated the image? I had to reconstruct the bumper on the right of the picture, as well as filling in the gaps at the other corners of the photo. Tree branches and leaves are easy enough, as is the relatively solid black texture of the tar on the road, but the bumper was difficult, and the shaded area of the building on the left presented me with a few extra minutes of clicking to get right.
Want to see more "First Draft" posts? I can't promise to do many, but if you have a compelling reason why you'd like to see the original of a photo I'll do my best to help!
PS. Bryan – you might recognise the CSS. I took it from the button of doom you did! Hope you don't mind!
PPS. Treasa has posted a tutorial of how she worked on two photos with steps in Photoshop to get the desired effect. Nice!
Riding a bike anywhere on today's streets is almost a suicidal pursuit but bike lanes help. Here a bus drove past as I took this shot in an urban tunnel in downtown San Francisco.
You better be good at hill starts if you live in San Francisco! I presume it's slightly easier with an automatic transmission rather than manual?
Highly processed image via multiple tools in the GIMP until I came up with an effect I liked – multiple layers, b/w, gaussian blur, layer modes and more.
I had to rotate the image at first and reconstruct parts of the image, but I think it came out reasonably well!
Look up for unusual perspectives on ordinary scenes. I was quite happy with this image of a lamppost in Parnell Place, Cork when I took it. The signs are clearly visible and the upside-down Guinness logo catches the eye!
You have to wonder, what's more important, Guinness or parking?
The entrance to Alcatraz Prison is up a series of steps near these flowers. I love how they catch the light while the background is in the shade of the prison.
After yesterday's flood of posts it's nice to get back to the one-a-day habit although I wonder why Technorati hasn't picked up on my IT@Cork2006 tag yet. Grrr.
It seems that they haven't looked at my feed or updated their records of my posts yet because if you look under Canon 20d several of the posts I made yesterday show up. Not this one just yet. I guess there are lots of blogs out there!
Yellow boxes on the junction of Bridge Street and Patrick's Bridge in Cork. It's illegal to enter a yellow box if you can't exit as has happened with a few cars here.
This image was entered in the Patterns Around Us competition along with my Autumn Leaf but this was my favourite one because of the strong colours and unusual contrasting effect.
How I did this: take an ordinary photo and clean it up, fixing levels and all the usual things. Duplicate layer, then play around with the top layer and the curves tool, creating a curve with two waves. You'll see unusual rainbow hues and the colours will be distorted in other ways too. Now, change the mode of the layer. Each mode will make the image look different, but I settled on "Grain Merge" for the final effect here.
PS. the Blogger's Dinner last night was most excellent. Luigi's staff did an outstanding job at creating a tasty meal!

Editor's note: Didier Morais will review each position for the Red Sox for the 2013 season. It's no secret the Red Sox' struggles stem from the starting rotation. The starting staff -- a group composed of Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Felix Doubront, Aaron Cook, Daniel Bard, Franklin Morales and Daisuke Matsuzaka -- combined to tally a 5.19 ERA, which ranked 27th in the majors. In the middle of the season, the Red Sox inched toward a new direction, trading Beckett to the Dodgers. It's likely the team will also cut ties with Cook and Matsuzaka, who are entering free agency and weren't very productive in 2012. With Bard's status up in the air, it leaves the Red Sox with Lester, Buchholz, Doubront and John Lackey, who is returning to the mound after missing last season with Tommy John surgery. Although Morales only started nine games in 2012, the southpaw could be primed to compete for a starting job in spring training, considering he was the lone starter to finish with an ERA under 4.50. His shoulder issues, however, could be a concern. There's the possibility the Red Sox could give Alfredo Aceves a shot to start next season. Given his questionable behavior toward ex-manager Bobby Valentine toward the end of last season, however, the franchise may still contemplate letting him walk. That said, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington could fill the rotation vacancy in free agency. He'll have some options in Zack Greinke, Edwin Jackson, Anibal Sanchez, Hiroki Kuroda, Francisco Liriano, and Brandon McCarthy. Sanchez is a very intriguing option on the market, considering Cherington is familiar with him. Sanchez started his career in the Red Sox organization before he was traded for Josh Beckett in 2005. But the rotation's success will hinge on Lackey's pitching. With a healthy elbow -- one that plagued him in 2011 -- the 34-year-old could be poised to regain the form that made him a staple of the Angels' rotation. John Farrell's hiring should help Lester and Buchholz rebound. Under Farrell's tutelage from 2007 to 2010, the duo blossomed into All-Stars and the skipper has already some tweaks in mind. For Red Sox president Larry Lucchino, Farrell's familiarity with the pitching staff was a significant factor. "We wanted someone who could focus on the two major dilemmas of 2013," Lucchino said. "One was the instability and unreliability of the pitching staff, particularly the rotation. The second was the epidemic of injuries. The manager can't affect the second, but he and his coaching staff can have a profoundly beneficial effect on the first. We wanted that." And the Red Sox hope it'll jumpstart the rotation's turnaround. Have a question for Didier Morais? Send it to him via Twitter at @DidierMorais or send it here. He will pick a few questions to answer every week for his mailbag.

Jose Mourinho has ridiculed claims he 'sobbed loudly' when David Moyes was handed the Manchester United post, instead insisting he always had his heart set on a Chelsea return.
In his book Prepare to Lose: the Mourinho Era, respected El Pais journalist Diego Torres said Mourinho had felt betrayed when he was overlooked in the English champions' search for a new manager.
But ahead of Sunday's visit of Manchester United, the Portuguese manager has refuted the suggestions and insists he wanted the Blues' job from the outset.
"I think the person who wrote that book shouldn't write books. He should write books for kids using his imagination," Mourinho said.
"I am where I want to be. I want to go nowhere else. I have the job I want to have, I don't have another job.
"When I left Porto I wanted to come to England because at that time there was no Chelsea, I had no emotional connections with any club.
"When I left Chelsea I wanted only Italy or Spain, not another English club.
"After Real Madrid I wanted England and if possible, Chelsea. It's the only time I've said this country and this specific club.
"If not Chelsea then I'd have been in England at another club, but when the door at my club opened for me, I had the job I wanted to have."
Ferguson announced his retirement on May 8 last year with Moyes' appointment confirmed the following day, while Mourinho was named Chelsea manager for the second time on June 3.
"I knew a couple of weeks before the announcement because my friend (Ferguson) was very nice to me and trusted me completely," Mourinho said.
"He told me something really important before the press, he didn't want me to read it in the press. He told me you are one of my best players in football, I want you to know it from me.
"He was so nice to me, he gave me such a big reasonability to keep that.
"From me never, but I was afraid that somebody might leak it and the boss could think it came from me, so I was a little under pressure.
"In the same way he knew from me that I was coming back to Chelsea. It's just things between friends.
"I wasn't committed to Chelsea at the time, but I wanted to come and Chelsea had expressed the desire for me to come back."
Under Moyes, United have struggled to recapture their title-winning form from last term and sit 11 points behind league-leaders Arsenal.
Asked if United would be seventh if he was in charge, Mourinho replied: "This is impossible to analyse. I'm not and because I'm not there is no point doing that.
"David is the right guy for the job. With the stability they are going to give him for sure, he will get results as a consequence of his quality and the club's stability."Reuse content

Pushing the Constitutional envelope destroyed the Roman Republic.
Have no doubt that Obama is doing something that sets a dangerous precedent.
Democracy relies on two kinds of restraints on ambition. One restrain is the system of checks and balances.
The more important restraint is the the restraint of habitual disposition on the part of those who wield power.
What we see in Obama's immigration overreach is the culmination of a long developing sea-change on the part of the Left which defines democracy as getting the results that the Left wants rather than the following the process by which the will of the majority is determined.

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!
This is the first time I'm late in 7 years in that apartment. I was late by one week. How can I respond to his request to pay the fee?
Answer: Not enough facts to properly answer
Explanation: You lease will control on this issue. If your lease says that after one week of being late that he may charge you reasonable attorney fees, costs and a late fee then maybe. But more likely than not it was a form letter. Unfortunately, I cannot be more specific with my answer because I do not know if the attorney sent you any correspondence, if the attorney filed an eviction action or any facts other than what you have provided in your brief description. Again, you should read your lease to see what is permitted and what is not permitted. If you require additional information or have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Firm.

Thank you Mr. Jones.
Possibly. Did your landlord file to evict you for non-payment of rent? If so, then $317 may be a reasonable fee for same. If your landlord hasn't filed against you, then it's difficult to see what legal fees were incurred such that you should be paying for his attorney.
Without more information, it's difficult to say more.
The foregoing is not legal advice, and nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to create an attorney client relationship. If you feel you need to speak with an attorney regarding your issue, it is recommended that you contact an attorney with expertise in your area of inquiry.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

text: Not worth the weight By Caitlin Cook November 2, 2013 Story Share For the Gazette Illustration by Victoria Zigadlo CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As the number of people who get money through non-bank credit options, including "payday lenders," continues to rise, some advocates are reminding consumers that such deals usually aren't worth it."By all means, these types of loans should not be used as supplemental income," said Amanda Tietze, vice president of the Better Business Bureau in West Virginia. "They should be used for emergency purposes only."A recent Urban Institute study on non-traditional credit use looked at four kinds of non-bank credit lending methods: payday loans, pawnshop loans, rent-to-own deals and "refund anticipation" loans.From January 2009 to June 2011, the percentage of households where one person had ever used a non-bank credit product rose from 11.8 percent to 14.2 percent, according to the report.The country was in an economic recession for much of that time, and people who are "normally considered economically advantaged: older, non-minority, better educated, married and higher income" were disproportionately more likely to start using questionable credit, the Urban Institute report stated.Tietze said the Better Business Bureau recommends people shop around carefully and consider interest rates and other fees before taking out any loan. Tietze suggested checking with local credit unions, or seeking a small loan from a bank."If you don't have the funds available on your next paycheck, we are often finding consumers are getting caught in the payday loan trap or cycle," Tietze said. "The loans start stacking on top of each other and once you get into that cycle it is very, very difficult to get out of it and pay back all those loans."Former Attorney General Darrell McGraw's office sued dozens of payday lenders because their terms violated West Virginia law. But Tietze said some companies allow consumers in states where those types of payday loans are illegal to secure the loans online. "By the time it is all said and done you are paying 300 percent interest on the amount of money you were originally loaned," she said. "It's really not an economically sound way to fix the problem."The BBB also recommends people use their local nonprofit consumer credit council service. The group offers credit guidance and budgeting to consumers for little or no cost.The latest unemployment numbers for August from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed national unemployment at 7.3 percent, while WorkForce West Virginia's data showed the state's unemployment rate at 6.3 percent.Stephanie Klein, director of consumer lending for NetCredit, said there is a need for new products to fill the credit gap for those consumers "who have really been left behind by the banks." She said the company specializes in small-short-term-personalized loans. Last week Klein participated in a panel discussion with the Financial Services Innovation Coalition in Washington, D.C. on how companies could use technology and analytics to bring a better product to market to help consumers in need of credit but don't qualify for traditional bank-credit."We are serving a high-risk customer but are still able to offer products at a rate not too far from what you might find at a bank," Klein said.NetCredit uses in-house technology to assess each customer's ability to pay back loans instead of just looking at a credit score, Klein said. Not all customers receive the same interest rate on their loans. Klein said the most qualified customers receive a 35 percent rate."We're definitely seeing a lot of interest and discussion from a variety of regulatory groups, including consumer research groups that do understand the need for credit and are really interested in working on figuring out how to solve this problem," Klein said.The company has been in business for about a year and half serving 10 states. NetCredit does not do business in West Virginia. The state Senate enacted the Payday Lending Act in 2006 outlawing the practice. The bill noted that "payday lenders typically charge effective interest rates over [400] percent per annum."Customers chose their loan amount and time to pay back the loan between six and 36 months."This gives the customer the ability to better budget and afford to pay back the loan," Klein said.She added the company also reports when customers pay back loans so they can re-build their credit and return to traditional lending methods. "It satisfies the immediate credit need while also building credit for the future," Klein said. Klein is hoping for a federal charter to allow NetCredit and other alternatives to payday lending and short-term loans to operate in more states. "We are definitely seeing that there is a lot of need in the 10 states that we have customers in."As the Urban Institute's report states, "Attention should focus on ways to encourage product development in the mainstream financial services market, to better attract and serve the more credit-worthy non-bank clients and thus enable these households to access short-term credit more affordably."

Caterham administrators refuse to give up hope
By Alan Baldwin
LONDON (Reuters) - The failed Caterham Formula One team are running out of time to find a purchaser but administrators refused to count them out on Thursday.
"I am still hopeful," Finbarr O'Connell, who works for administrators Smith & Williamson, told Reuters on Thursday.
"As long as there are people (out) there who have got a real possibility of doing something, I'm not going to close it (the team) down.
"Because if I do, then I will just be organizing an auction as regards the assets -- which I can do at any stage anyway."
Caterham and rivals Marussia went into administration last October after mounting financial troubles.
While Marussia missed the last three races of 2014 and ceased trading, Caterham were absent from two grands prix but made it to the Abu Dhabi finale after raising the money through a crowd-funding initiative.
Ironically, Marussia now look more likely to be revived after a scheduled auction of their cars and race equipment was canceled this week due to the emergence of an interested party.
Formula One's commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone told Sky Sports television that he had met a possible purchaser for Marussia on Wednesday but he was less hopeful about Caterham's prospects. Continued...

No. 7 Gonzaga crushes LMU
Associated Press | Last updated February 01, 2013
Gary Bell Jr. scored 15 points, including five of Gonzaga's season-high 13 3-pointers, and the seventh-ranked Zags routed Loyola Marymount 88-43 on Thursday night for their sixth straight win over the Lions. Kelly Olynyk added 15 points, and Sam Dower and Drew Barham had 13 each for the Zags (20-2, 7-0 West Coast), ensuring coach Mark Few his 14th consecutive season with at least 20 victories. Anthony Ireland made five 3-pointers while scoring 19 points to lead the Lions (8-13, 1-7), who have lost five straight and seven of eight. It was the Zags' fourth consecutive blowout league victory, and they got the rout going early as the highest-ranked opponent to visit Gersten Pavilion since being here as the No. 5 team in February 2006. They led by 28 points at halftime and gradually expanded the margin even as Few substituted liberally.

Juvenile law applies to young children and teenagers—usually defined as less than eighteen years old, depending on the state. Minors accused of breaking the law are processed under a juvenile justice system. This system is completely separate from the one used for adults, and the penalties involved are usually far less severe than in the adult system. Juvenile law also carries certain protections that do not apply to adults; for example, names are kept confidential and parents can be present during police questioning. A lawyer who specializes in juvenile law will help minors understand the juvenile justice system and present their defense in juvenile court.

I masturbate often, usually just a quick release with a vibrator in the evening before bed. But when I want a long, intense experience, (sort of a date with myself) I start by reading erotic stories. Lesbian or bisexual stories really turn me on, although I have no desire to be with another woman. Usually they involve lots of oral sex, which I love. Mild bondage and anal sex stories get me really turned on, too. Sometimes I'll watch some porn-I really like listening to the sounds of sex. The moans and groans and heavy breathing and nasty talk get me wet even if I'm not watching. At this point, I get my supplies: my vibrator (the 'magic wand' muscle massager type-much more intense than the battery powered dildo style), my TENS unit (a medical device that delivers electrical stimulation for muscular problems), dildo, lube and my hairbrush with a large (2' diameter) handle. I place the electrodes from the TENS on my nipples and lay on my stomach with the vibrator pressed against my clit. I turn on both devices. I have to keep turning up the TENS unit so that I have the stimulation just at the point of pain, which gets me even wetter. After grinding my clit against the vibrator for a little while, I lube up the handle of the hairbrush and rub some lube onto my asshole. I slip a finger or two into my anus. I then insert the hairbrush. If necessary, I use the dildo in my vagina, but I like the clit stimulation better. I have the most intense orgasms imaginable. And right when I cum, I pull the hairbrush out of my ass and slip it back in. The throbbing contractions of my anus give me unbelievable pleasure. Thank you all for your stories, I enjoy fantasizing about them and hope someone might enjoy my story as well. I'm dripping wet now just thinking about turning you on as much as you turn me on. Happy masturbating!

U.S. federal prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a former UN General Assembly president for engaging in a broad bribery scheme.
The indictment of John Ashe and four others in a Manhattan federal court came two weeks after his arrest in New York.
In a complaint filed Oct. 6, Ashe is accused of taking more than $1.3 million in bribes from several Chinese businessmen, including Ng Lap Seng, a prominent real estate developer based in the Chinese territory of Macau.
Ashe, 61, who is from Antigua and Barbuda, performed official actions for the businessmen within the UN and his home country in exchange for bribes, according to the complaint.
In one instance, $500,000 was wired into Ashe's account by Ng, who was seeking to build a multibillion dollar, UN-sponsored conference center in Macau, the complaint alleged.

Delicious grapefruit beer, but it is under 3%. It is definitely not a getting drunk beer. It is a nice beer to sip on the porch on a hot summer day. Try it with champagne for a "beermosa"
Love this beer. It's refreshing and light with a hint of grapefruit flavour. I enjoy it on a hot day

Heading west to Bordeaux
... with plenty of people out enjoying the weather. The area where i am staying has a middle east culture, where there are a few bazaar's and markets. Makes for an interesting change.
No i did not go and visit some of the biggest wineries in Europe near Bordeaux, i dont have any interest in wine any more. Plus a lot of the Chateau's had retail outlets in the city.
What a great part of France, really nice polite people living in a great city.
An amazing day in Bordeaux
... anywhere but France. Plus we went into a Basque chocolate shop, a specialty food shop, the Maison du Vin which was a sort of formal wine bar where you could have a glass of a selection of fabulous wines. Also we found the Musée des Beaux Arts and spent some time there. And we walked half way across the bridge - Bordeaux is near the mouth of the Garonne. It is huge here, and will be joined by the Dordogne river, before they both combined flow into the ...
Paris without being in Paris
... without missing a beat. Didn't even flinch when I hit one of the outside mirrors down a narrow lane in Florence..... it just bounced back!
Ok there is more good news, we shouted ourselves to a Hotel, can't lie, a bit of luxury has been nice, although the space was very small. After settling into a room with real coffee and an actual coffee maker, we had a drink with a Canadian couple ...

... then its second class reservations only. We had a few minutes before the train was due to depart so I wanted to speak to someone regarding our train change over times. Our tickets said arrival for one train, and departure of the next to be the same time. The listing under the heading Train said Ubergang. I assumed this was a local train. Long story short, I'm an idiot. Ubergang apparently means "walk" in German (who knew) and what our itinerary was saying ...
France 4
... Dordogne or as Geoff tells me just out of Dordogne & then it's off to Provence for our last Gite stay. Today we decided to visit a winery as that is what you do when you stay in this area which is such a famous wine growing area. We decided after much research on Geoff's behalf to find one that, in the brochure, ticked all the boxes, to go to the chateau Esprit which was near St Emilion. When we finally found it after about 3 U turns it was a very small winery which was ...

I'm just gonna throw it out there….
I. Am. A. Bad. Mom…..
Just ask them.
My boys attend public schools (despite my protesting)
So that means, the nonsense begins at about 6:30am. The "plan" is to pull out of driveway between 7:30-7:35.
Things 1 through 3 get themselves up every morning….li
But Things 4 and 5…..A.N.O.T.H.E.R. story here.
It's as if I go back and forth from each Bedroom……
"Cole wake up" {insert shaking of body}
and back, and for, and back and forth…..
We have attempted water, setting off house alarms, ice, yanking blankets, lifting person from the bed….
We have tried bribing, and punishing, and yelling (only this is one of the times I'm not just yelling because it's already loud) and even occasionally I remember to try Grace.
So, truth is….
I'm so wrapped up in waking them, that I rarely have time to prepare a breakfast. Nor, do they really have time to eat it. Regardless of how simple, or elaborate it may be.
And now, Mom is stressing, Things 1 and 2 are yelling at Things 4 and 5 (because even though they get up on time, they too will now be late)
Even to late to catch breakfast AT school….
What kind of Mother allows her children to miss the most important meal of the day?
I literally grieve over this every. single. day as I drop them off.
Now, I know that it's likely that part of our morning issue starts the night before (that's a whole other post)
I have tried starting earlier, I have tried preparing breakfasts ahead of time, I have tried many, many things….
Weary Moms out there, do you struggle with this?
Do your boys really enjoy their morning sleep?
How do you help them achieve a balanced morning?
Linking up Weekend Whatever with Your Thriving Family!

Easiest mast to raise?
Anyone ever had a trailer sailor that impressed them with east of mast raising?
What about raising a mast on the water, as in launching on the Chicago river on a non-bridge lifting day, motoring up the river and raising the mast once I've made it past the LSD bridge?
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
I had a West Wight Potter 19. Raising the mast was pretty easy for one person.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
Looking more for a 22 or 23 footer, but I will make a note of that. I won't be doing too much solo sailing though, so a 2 person raising job is certainly within reason.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
Take a look at the Macgregors. They are very simple to raise the mast on, and the X and M series come with a mast raising system for single handed raising. A lot of the older models have been modified to accept this system also.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
Hi, I have a Macgregor 26S. She came with her own mastraising system (ginpole). It can easily be managed by a half portion like myself. Always cracks me up when I'm at the marina and have to winch the mast up or down. A mast hanging in the air at 45 degrees seems to have a frightful attraction to other sailors who quickly run to the rescue, just to notice that everything is perfectly ok :) .
Whatever boat you end up with, a forestay lever helps to get the last free centimeters close enough that you can pin the stay in place IMHO.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
I'll second that on the Johnson Lever. Its a must have for anyone who raises and lowers the mast often.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
I had both the Chrysler 22 and 26 and on both the mast was easy to step.
Captain Scott Sailing Puget and Possession Sound Seattle Everett You can see it being done here
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
GREETINGS EARTHLINGS:- Had a Trident 24' triple keel cruiser/racer 34' mast raised and lowered single handed . Look on the trident owners association there are several designs for the tabinackles that are fitted to mast houseings. The one on board my boat was designed by my Farther and was out of two inch angl iron quarter inch thick in a u shape that fits over the outside of the upper tabinackle bolt . connecting the backstay the two shrouds and using the main-sheet attached to the spinicker halyard (3/4 rig) could up or down the mast in under and hour Hope this helps AS ALWAYS GO SAFE.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
I would guess the Catalina 22 I had was about in the middle of the scale of easy to impossible to raise. It was a bit of work, but do-able with one person. It is always more difficult and dangerous to raise the mast on the water. The way I had the C22 set up it would have been a bad idea on the water.
Re: Easiest mast to raise?
Hunter 240 or 260, a husband and wife did the Great Loop on their 260 several years ago including dropping the mast on the water going through the locks.

SINGAPORE (Xinhua) – The consumer price index (CPI) inflation in Singapore in January fell 0.4 per cent year on year, following the 0.1 per cent contraction in the previous month, Singapore's Department of Statistics said on Monday.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) attributed the contraction mainly to account of sharper price declines in direct oil-related items as well as lower food and services inflation.
Prices of direct oil-related items decreased further by 13.6 per cent in January, after falling by 7.4 per cent in the preceding month. MAS attributed the decline to further drop of petrol pump prices and electricity tariffs following the correction in global oil prices.
Food inflation moderated to 2.2 per cent in January from 2.7 per cent in December last year, as a result of the high base in January 2014 when food prices rose significantly during the Chinese New Year festive period.
The cost of private road transport fell by 5.0 per cent, compared to the 5.3 per cent drop in the previous month, owing to a smaller correction in car prices.
Overall services inflation slowed to 1.2 per cent while the cost of accommodation dropped by 1.9 per cent in January.
The core inflation, which excludes changes in the price of private road transport and accommodation, came in at 1.0 per cent in January compared to 1.5 per cent in December, due to the cut in electricity tariffs as well as the fall in food and services inflation, MAS said.
According to MAS, external price developments are expected to be generally benign, given ample supply buffers in the major commodity markets. At the same time, while domestic cost pressures will remain, the extent to which businesses will pass on accumulated costs to consumer prices could be constrained in the near term by the moderate economic growth environment.
Therefore, MAS said the inflation is expected to come in at -0. 5 to 0.5 per cent this year, while core inflation is expected to stay elevated at 0.5 to 1.5 per cent.
