Chapter 16
I applauded as Markus acknowledged the audience, bowing modestly, his face as expressionless as it had been when I'd first met him. Because everyone's focus was on the victor, no one noticed Lucian slipping away into the building that led to the stables. I knew he would be waiting for me there, but I had to bide my time and disappear when no one was watching me.
'Let's go congratulate your champion,' the King said, smiling falsely at me as he took my arm, leading me out onto the field forcefully. The crowd fell silent and Markus turned to face us as we approached. When we stopped walking the Prince dropped into a low bow.
'Congratulations your highness,' I said, making sure I chose my words carefully. 'You fought bravely and valiantly and are deserving of my favours.'
'That is all I hope for my lady,' Markus said, his head still bent in reverence.
'Then accept this token as a remembrance of your success and my favour.' I reached into my pocket and drew out the embroidered lace handkerchief I had been instructed to present to the winner. Markus took it in his large hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it.
'I have no words to thank you my lady. I shall treasure this.' He held it close to his chest, bowing his head again so his blonde hair flopped over his eyes.
'I am sure you will want to celebrate your victory,' I said clearly so the crowd could also hear me. 'But I hope to see you at the ball tonight and share the first dance of the evening with you.'
'Of course my lady.'
I turned away and walked elegantly out of the arena, linking arms with Helena, who was waiting for me.
'Where are you meeting him?' She whispered as we walked back towards the castle.
'The stables. He says he has things he needs to tell me. Is that good?'
'I don't know,' Helena said, unsure of herself. 'I've never been in this situation before. I wish Lucinda were here to help me advise you, I'm not being a very good older sister.'
'I couldn't ask for a better one,' I said, squeezing her hand. 'But I've got to hurry to the stables before someone decides they want to go for a ride.'
We picked up our pace; shutting the door behind us and walking briskly down the corridors, the heels of our shoes clicking on the stone floors. I could smell the horses as we got closer to the stables and by the time we had reached the stable door it was all I could smell.
'I'll keep watch out here for you,' Helena said, clasping my hands. 'Good luck.'
'Thank you,' I breathed back, kissing her violently on the cheek. My hands were shaking as I opened the door to the stables and stepped inside. There were stray bits of straw on the stone floor that stuck to my dress as I walked further in. 'Hello? Is there anyone here?'
'Lili?' I heard Lucian's voice reply.
'Yes it's me.' I turned the corner and saw Lucian, still dressed in his armour and carrying his sword hiding in the entrance to one of the stalls. 'Are you alright?' I saw his face for the first time and noticed the blood coming from a gash on his cheekbone and a split lip. 'You're bleeding.' I rushed over to him, concern overriding my nervousness.
'It's nothing,' he said casually. 'I've had a lot worse.'
'I'm sorry you lost the fight,' I said, not moving away from him even though I knew I was standing far too close. 'I wanted you to win.'
'There will be other fights. Right now all I want is to win you, nothing else.'
'Do you really mean that?'
'Of course I do. I promise you that I'm not like the other guys out there. I'm not going to lie to you. That's why I asked you to meet me here.'
'You wanted to say something?'
'Yes I did. Something very important. Now I think about it you're going to think I'm crazy, but I can't hold it inside. I'm not used to hiding my feelings Lili and I'm not going to make an exception for you. The truth is I think I'm falling in love with you.'
I took a sharp breath in, only half shocked by what he had said. I had felt something going on between us, some sort of spark; I just hadn't known what it was.
'I know I only met you last night and it's unfair of me to ask you to say you feel the same way when you hardly know me but sometimes you just know. And when I looked at you for the first time last night I knew I wanted you and I would do anything to get you.'
I wanted to say something, tell him I loved him too but my mouth wouldn't work. My throat was dry and my hands were shaking, partly with nerves and partly because of Lucian's presence. He was so close I could feel his breath on my face.
'Please say something. Even if it's just that you don't feel the same way now but I can hope-'
'I love you too Lucian,' I blurted out, surprising him and myself. 'I can't explain why I just do.'
'Thank God,' Lucian said, his arms wrapping themselves around my waist and pulling me against him. My heart pounded as the skin of my cheek touched his neck. Even in this small gesture I could feel the heat between us. 'I was so worried you wouldn't say that,' he breathed into my ear.
He pulled back, his hands travelling upwards from my waist until they were resting on either side of my face, turning it upwards to face his.
'I'm not sure how I would have coped if you'd rejected me,' he said.
'I could never do that,' I whispered. 'Never.'
I began to sink into his dark eyes not noticing as his face drew nearer until my head tilted to the side and our lips met. The kiss was tender and slightly hesitant, like he was unsure how I would react and when I didn't protest he kissed me again.
My arms immediately went around his neck, pulling him closer, hungry for more now I'd tasted his lips. His arms went around my waist pulling me closer to him. There was nothing else around us, it was just me and Lucian in our own world.

Tools and techniques for publishing your videos on the web
We'll show you how to convert your videos to FLV format and play them from your website with FlowPlayer.
Shooting a video is easy. Almost all modern mobile phones and digital cameras allow you to record video clips. Although websites like YouTube provide ready-made tools for sharing your creations with the world, you may want to publish your videos on your own website. In that case, you might want to consider converting your videos into the Flash-based FLV format. FLV is probably the most popular format for video streaming on the Web. The format is designed with streaming in mind, and FLV-encoded movies are extremely compact. It is no surprise that video sharing services like YouTube, MySpace, and Google Video use the FLV format for their video content. Although FLV is a proprietary format, several tools for creating, converting, and playing FLV files are available at no cost. To publish videos on your website in the FLV format, you need a tool to convert videos to FLV format and software on your site to embed and play FLV files. When converting videos, you can either use an online conversion service or install the necessary encoding software on your computer.

Voice Actor Appreciation Thread [Anime]
Welcome to the new Voice Actor appreciation thread. While a poll is the center of this thread, new discussion of recent or emerging characters is more than welcome. So, please comment on your favourite Naruto/Shippuden voice actor, their roll(s), and their best episode(s) (if you can remember ). Please do not unnecessarily bash voice actors (for example, my endless hatred for Nana Mizuki is not allowed (j/k)), but constructive criticism is always welcome.
Additionally, please try and describe why you like a certain actor.
edit1: The current list of actors in the poll is esoteric for a reason (and I just realized there are no actresses in the list...sorry). They represent some of the crème de la crème of the sheer variety of different rolls and approaches to acting. While, undoubtedly, most will vote for Other (and if it gets too overbalanced we will probably have to alter the poll some...), this list is not supposed to represent the Main Cast, but rather some of the more impressive actors "seen" so far...
edit2: Technically Konohamaru was played by 2 actors: Ikue Ohtani and Akiko Koike...and I am a little unsure who the main Shippuden actor is, so I just went with Akiko Koike . If I am wrong, please tell me, and I will see what I can do to fix the poll...
edit3: If you want to post (short) YouTube links, here are quick instructions for the uninformed: To post a YouTube link, just use (youtube) embedded video (/youtube) only replace the parentheses with brackets (The embedded video, if there is one, can be found on the Youtube page you are trying to link to on the right hand side of the screen underneath the posters name and info...

Kujira!! Orochimaru has the best voice in the series, hearing him say "Sarutobi-sensei" made his fight with the 3rd awesome. I would have liked to see Sasori's voice actor on the poll as well, but I guess thats what the 'other' option is there for.

Kujira! Easy choice. Nothing beats this distinctive timbre. Kujira makes Orochimaru into hissing coolness incarnated and is the reason why I'd never, ever, for no reason imaginable would consider watching Naruto in a language other than Japanese.
A lot of my favorite seiyuus are present in Naruto but my second choice for a stellar performance is Masaki Terasoma for the perfectly performed slightly and not so slightly mad undertones of Hidan that made me watch this part of the series for umpteenth times just to listen to his banter with Kakuzu.
lol can't resist, a serenade:

Romi Paku(Temari) is awesome, although I love her more as Ed and Toshiro. Here she is hanging out with the equally awesome Showtaro Morikubo(Shikamaru) in a subbed conversation. Showtaro has a great singing voice and is easily the best looking voice actor in Naruto in my opinion. He's really hot. If you close your eyes it sounds just like Temari and Shikamaru acting like a married couple.
Here is a duet they did together for a love song called Voice For You. Seiyu are very aware that their characters are sometimes paired by fans. Nothing wrong with cashing in on that.

Atsuko Tanaka(Konan) is a pretty good voice . I love her work in most anime's and although her role is rather minor so far her voice is very enchanting. She was the voice of Caster in Fate/Stay Night too.
Romi Paku (Temari) is one of my favourite in this series. She has a very dominating voice in this series.
Kujira (Orochimaru) also another favourite. Perfect evil voice.
And the last one that I like is Takako Honda(Anko) no particular reason. It just stands out to me and I seem to long strong domineering voices when watching anime.

Mine has to be Ohtsuka Kujira and Ikkuko . Though Ohtsuka is not for portrayal of Jiraiya, in terms of Naruto love Kujira . She made my most fave cross dressing transvestite sound even more devilish . That voice oozes with sexiness there is something Joygasmic about the way she makes Oro sound . The way she has combines playfulness along with pure evil is awesome for Orochimaru . her naturally coarse or whale like voice gave more depth and dimension to Oro's character . When I hear Naruto the first sound that comes to my mind is Oro appearing/talking in Forest of Death Loved her as Otose (Gintama) also and this is real Kujira & Ohtsuka .

Issues that influence Human Development
In Sum
Development is a question of the entanglement of three schools of thought, namely:
Nature vs. Nurture
Continuity vs. Discontinuity
Universal vs, Context Specific
How do we become who we are?
What determines our identity?
Do we fundamentally stay the same throughout our lifetime?
Psycho dynamic Theories
Development is largely influenced by how well people resolve conflict they face at different ages.
- Liev Erikson
Learning Theory
Emphasis is on the role of experience. Examines whether a person's behavior is rewarded or punished.
- B.F. Skinner
Cognitive Development Theory
The key is how people think and how thinking changes over time.
- Jean Piaget
Ecological and Systems Approach

If you are satisfied with the amount of money Microsoft is willing to pay you, go ahead and buy the Windows Phone or tablet, mail in your trade to Clover Wireless within 30 days with proof of purchase, and you will receive an appropriately valued Visa prepaid card in the mail.
Don't expect any miracles here. Microsoft is paying top dollar to the latest devices with the most native storage. A 64GB Apple iPhone 5 brings $265 while a 64GB Samsung Galaxy S4 fetches $275. An HTC Rhyme gets nothing in trade.
For those who really, really, really have their heart set on a new Windows Phone model and have an iPhone or more recent Android device that you don't mind trading in, why not get some money back for a handset that would otherwise just be collecting dust?

Is There a Palestinian Strategy?
A frequently asked question following the Arab Spring rebellions was why were the Palestinians left out? Why did they not join their Tunisian, Egyptian, Yemeni compatriots, and other Arab youth in seeking regime change? Why were there no reenactments of the actions of the first Intifada of 1987, or of the second Intifada of 2000? The short answer is that there was indeed a rebellion that went substantially unnoticed in the midst of neighboring Arab uprisings. Palestinian ...Keep Reading »

The head is classically shaped and the offset is not too overpowering, a feature that I find very inviting. Cleveland's patented new Gel Back technology gives the club a very solid feel at impact. Pair that with their new Micro Cavity Design and you have one of the most responsive and forgiving clubs on the market. For those who want the most out of their clubs but also want a great deal, definitely check out the new Cleveland CG Gold Black Irons, you will not be dissappointed!!!

Wondering if someone can help. 1st marathon is 3 weeks away next 1 7 weeks. Feel so drained and tired all the time, but I've got a 20 miler to do tomorrow. If I feel so tired shall I just stop if I need to and give body time to recuperatae. Furthest I've done is 18 so far. Last year I did the full 20 in training, getting worried.....
Toni x
Hi Toni
Clearly you have done something wrong if "shattered". If you are determined to do your 20 miler tomorrow I suggest a) Have a big pasta for dinner tonight. b) Go to bed as early as you can and get a good sleep. If you do need to stop during your run, do what you will need to do in your marathon i.e. Keep walking briskly until you feel ready to run again. Carry water/energy drink.
Remember your long run should be slow at the easiest pace you can manage. Marathon training is tiring you need to get to bed early every night for a good sleep. Food is energy so you need to eat complex carbo to keep your energy level on a high all the time.
Two other things 1) The traditional last long run at 3 weeks is ideal for well trained runners who need a good taper to perform well. If that does not sound like you then you could do your 20 miler next weekend. 2) If this will be your first marathon what do you mean that you did the full 20 in training last year?
All the best
Hi Toni,
Also doing Manchester
Those long runs sound quite fast. RW schedule for 4.30 are 11 minute miles!
Stupid q perhaps, but are you shattered from running? I spent most of today sleeping and think I'm just knackered from work!
Rest, you'll only make things worse.
I was "shattered" 3 1/2 weeks before my last marathon so took it real easy for 3 1/2 weeks. Longest run was 8 miles, the rest were mostly 4 miles and none ever faster than marathon pace. It was quite hard to stop myself working too hard as I started to feel better, but I knew it had to be done and by race day I felt good and ran a pb.
48 mile max is also a lot. Just want to echo what others have been saying about speed and burning out. You will do it, but the way to do it isn't quite like this.
I'll buy you a pint afterwards if you're up for it!

@TheCriticalFailYou earlier stated whirlwind/volley is a single attack. Lightning arrow activates on all targets for huge aoe dmg? help? Lightning arrow affects a piece of ammunition, so it wouldn't work against all the targets of Volley.

Whirlwind Attack
@PlaguescarredHowdy Jeremy! Question RE Whilwind Attack-Must targets be wt 5′ when taking action or attacking & can move between attacks? Whirlwind Attack is a single attack with multiple attack rolls. The intent is no movement between the rolls.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 16, 2014
@PlaguescarredOk thanks. Strange since the feature is called Multiattack and Volley even require an ammunition for each target Like Whirlwind Attack, Volley is a single attack with multiple attack rolls.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) September 17, 2014
@PlaguescarredOk thanks for clarifying. If Whirlwind/Volley are single attack, do they have a single damage roll then, or multiple one? To speed up play, I would have the ranger make one damage roll for all the targets.

Thunderbird Endures Shrinking Pains
By Francesca Di Meglio
Rumors can get started easily, especially on B-school campuses, where people tend to live and work in close quarters. Just ask those at Thunderbird, The Garvin School of International Management in Glendale, Ariz., which has been the center of attention for the last couple of weeks, since reports surfaced in the Arizona Republic that the historic global program was possibly for sale because of financial difficulties.
It's no secret that the nearly 60-year-old school, which has an international focus throughout its curriculum and requires students to be at least bilingual, is struggling. Upper management recently eliminated 17 administrative positions and has been downsizing the full-time MBA program -- going from a class size of 1,305 students five years ago to one of 606 today. Also, Thunderbird raised its tuition to $32,100, from $29,300 in 2004, which is unusual for a school that rarely raised fees on par with its competitors.
But the relatively new administration -- President Angel Cabrera only arrived in August, 2004 -- says the school isn't for sale, nor is it posting a "going out of business" sign. The data, Cabrera says, are simply indicative of growing pains, an inevitable part of a new strategy to diversify revenue streams to keep the school alive in a soft market. "We're trying to manage our business the way businesses should be managed," says Cabrera. "We must apply our knowledge to ourselves, too."
That doesn't mean it's business as usual at Thunderbird. The administration is planning to make sweeping, dramatic changes to stay competitive among top B-schools, many of which are now offering the kind of international programs that once were only available at Thunderbird.
What is true is that Thunderbird may move or restructure its campus. Cabrera says that some of the buildings are old, and parts of the property go unused. As the strategic vision for the school shifts, so must the structure of the campus, he adds. Cabrera and his colleagues have just begun to investigate their options.
A desire to find cozier quarters might have something to do with the full-time program's shrinking size. Applications have been down for most full-time MBA programs for some time. A private nonprofit school that offers only graduate business education, Thunderbird was particularly vulnerable when the dot-com bubble burst and fewer people were going to B-school.
"When the graduate business program is starting to have trouble, we can't rely on the medical or law school like traditional universities," says Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Tim Propp. Things only got worse when the 9/11 terrorist attacks further weakened the economy and ensuing changes in visa requirements made it more difficult to admit international students, who at one time made up about 50% of the Thunderbird population. (They now account for about 43%.)
Switching gears became a must for all B-schools, especially Thunderbird. Now, the plan is to rely less on the full-time MBA program and develop executive programs to leverage the market trend toward part-time educational opportunities. Recently, Thunderbird's open-enrollment and custom executive education programs placed among the Top 20 in the 2005 BusinessWeek rankings. Propp says revenues from non-full-time programs exceeded those of the full-time MBA for the first time in June, 2005.
Administrators are also hoping to develop partnerships with other B-schools around the world and offer distance-education programs to bring their services to those who can't get to Arizona. Already, the school announced a partnership with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business to offer a Master's of International Management/MBA dual degree in a program that blends online and campus-based learning.
The shift in priorities has many wondering what the future will hold. A new focus on executive and distance programs has some concerned that the full-time program, which has been the hallmark of Thunderbird, could become a thing of the past. The administration is assuring the community that the full-time MBA might be smaller than it was before, but that it will remain the cornerstone of Thunderbird's offerings.
Students brought their questions to Cabrera in a recent town-hall meeting. Matthew Harker, a second-year student set to graduate in May, 2006, and the Thunderbird Student Government president, says many of his classmates are worried. But, he adds, they also understand the changing marketplace and are pleased that the administration is communicating its strategy.
Despite the uncertainty that came with these major changes, most students remain pleased with their education, says Genevieve Gutierrez, a second-year student set to graduate in December, 2005, and editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper Das Tor. "Whenever there's change, there are growing pains," she adds.
Thunderbird staff say the community must be patient. Revenues are up from $48.8 million in 2001-02 to $55.4 million in 2004-05. However, the school continues to have costs that don't allow for an immediate return on investment, says school spokesperson Frank Neville. Administrators, including Cabrera, argue that you have to invest money to make money. Despite this, the school is set to balance its budget in 2006, says Propp.
Things aren't all bad. Amid the rumors and speculation, recruiters, for the most part, have remained loyal to the school. For the last two academic years, 40% of job-seeking graduates had at least one job offer by graduation. The school's international bent is a major selling point.
"At Citigroup, we're continually looking for bright, articulate leaders with a global perspective that makes them comfortable operating in a diverse, multigeographical organization such as ours," says Keith Waitt, managing director of Risk and Compliance Training & Development at Citigroup (C ). "There's a terrific match between Thunderbird's international orientation and Citigroup's global footprint, and this is what makes Citigroup one of Thunderbird's top hiring organizations." (See BW Online, 1/30/05, "Making the Connection at Citi.")
Cabrera is not at all surprised to hear that Thunderbird students are uniquely fit for today's global marketplace. "The world needs Thunderbird more than ever before," he adds. Time will tell if the world truly agrees.

Unite said it would securitise 47 properties in a bid to pay off debt and release up to £50m in new money to develop the business. That will cut interest on debt and increase the length of maturity of its borrowings. Interest payments more than doubled to £8.3m on debts of £188m in the year to last December, trimming pre-tax profits to £2.9m from £3m.
Chief executive Nick Porter said of the securitisation: 'The important things are that this is a repeatable model and that over 50% of the stock in the securitisation is AAA-rated with the credit agencies.'
Unite is also issuing 5.7m new shares at 286 1/2p to buy charitable trust Peabody out of its 50-50 joint venture providing accommodation for 1,500 students and NHS workers in London. Including debt, the deal values Peabody's 50% interest at £19.9m.
Unite lifted its total dividend by more than a fifth to 2.5p a share. The shares, down a third in the past eight months, rose 35p to 323 1/2p.Reuse content

Chinese artist and political activist, Ai Weiwei, who has been famous for his highly and openly critical of the Chinese Government's stance on democracy and human rights, signed-in to Google+ to interact with his supporters.
Ai Weiwei posted his first message on Google+ saying "Greetings, I'm here" and his second post reads "there are signs of life."
Ai Weiwei has more than 7,817 followers on Tuesday, Jul 26 and he added 101 users to his Circle. Moreover, he uploaded his picture, but his profile image is a photo of a small boy. In his Google+ about section, Ai Weiwei called himself a suspected tax evader, pornographer, and black market dealer.
Ai Weiwei, who is also active in architecture, curating, photography, film, and social and cultural criticism, was one of the active Twitter users in China with more than 92,455 followers in China, the United States and all over the world. But, since his arrest in Apr 2011, his Twitter account is silent.
In Apr, Chinese authorities him for allegedly evading huge amount of taxes and intentionally destroying accounting documents. The 54-year-old Ai Weiwei was bailed only after 81 days in detention.

AFAIK the FairScheduler uses 'time' rather than 'scheduling opportunities'. # I've also added 'pace' to the back-off by getting ensuring jobs do not back-off as aggressively as they make progress. At the end of a job, i.e. last 10 tasks of a job with 100k tasks, latency is more important than perfect data-locality. # The implementation also gets small jobs to 'delay' less vis-a-vis larger jobs by weighing the size of job. # The implementation also ensures jobs with no locality requirements, e.g. sleep-job/randomwriter, do not have any 'delay' since it doesn't make sense at all. Since we deployed the new CS (via 0.20.203) we've seen >100% improvement for locality of jobs in our production clusters. The NextGen MR CapacityScheduler has a very similar implementation to the one described above. hth, Arun

One of my favourite poems I've ever written.
Spine formed of golden coins and shining discs,
A soul that glitters, cold and
Unresponsive, in my bleeding hands.
Broken matchsticks, spent rounds,
Raw skin alight in
Dancing blue flames, weak and
Dizzy, cupped by flesh skinned of its warmth.
All wrapped around in gleaming metals,
The ice never set your heartstrings ablaze
In the pain that breathes life through my
Frozen, bloodless lips.
A cold grave awaits beneath
Stained ice.
Collapsing lungs bang brutal at my chest,
Tamed numb inside these waves of dope.
Glass hearts ooze within an Iron Maiden,
Impaled atop the shards they spun.
My waking nightmares spawn new pills to
Barricade me in this slaughter-house.
Electric stars implode the minds
Of filth-angels dying in the dirt.
A penumbra of good and bad,
Your filthy angel lies under the dirt...

Jackson - In ClassMature
Really, what was wrong with that woman? I was only trying to help! And she shooed me right off, as though I left my comfortable dorm to go out into the sticky humid air just to watch her put her clothes on! I liked to have my fun now and then, but I was not so low as to perv on an innocent girl. Wait, I take that back. Whatever that Riley girl was, she was definitely NOT innocent. I swear she is up to something…
But enough about her. I wasn't going to let her thoughts ruin my day. She can run around the forest at midnight and fall into a ditch for all I care. I had more important things to think about. It was only two weeks til the final examination for graduating spies. I had to do well. Because the top spy graduate will become one of the members of Mr Jones' private troop. And let me tell you, Mr Jones' private troop always gets all the fun. They get the dangerous missions, true, but weren't some danger now and then always fun?
I took extra care today to avoid the staircase that goes past the Jones' living quarters. I definitely didn't want to be late again. And I did not want to bump into that prickly Riley with her loud mouth. I jogged up the back staircase to get to Extracting Information, and got to class with plenty of time to spare. I dropped my books on the back desk and lounged back on my chair, waiting for the rest of the class to come.
"Jackson, why the hell are you here so early?" asked Ryan as he dumped his books on the desk next to mine.
"Felt like being on time for once, you know," I answered, "And plus, I get to get the best seat in the house!"
"Ah! The best seat in the house, eh?" teased Ryan, winking, "Right next to Becca Taylor!"
I swatted at him, and we both laughed. The class gradually filled up, and finally Ms Clarke started writing on the board. Five key steps to extracting information effectively out of the opponent.I scribbled down the heading. Damn it, Becca Taylor never turned up!
The classroom door slid open, and I could hear the scraping sound of the chair leg as the chair next to me was being pulled back. Looking up, I saw that it wasn't Becca. Riley Jones was sitting next to me, her face scrunched up in an annoyed frown. Is she even in this class?

1996 Edited by Matthew Engel
(John Wisden, hardback, pounds 24.50)
While Wisden's Almanack has never been the bible of cricket's establishment there have been times when it has been less likely to flay the Pharisees. The 133rd edition, however - the fourth under Matthew Engel's editorship - crackles.
Raymond Illingworth, MCC, the Test and County Cricket Board, two cricket writers, Andrew Symonds, the Australian Cricket Board and the Newlands ground in Cape Town, South Africa, all feel a touch of the lash.
Illingworth, now just England's chairman of selectors but also manager during the period under review, is censured: "It is hard to fathom what [he] thought he was achieving in his dealings with Mark Ramprakash and Devon Malcolm. Other teams are deeply into sports psychology; Illingworth expresses contempt for the very idea."
As it is 50 years since the end of the Second World War there are anniversaries to be celebrated and measurements made: Wisden names Middlesex the leading county team of the half-century with Surrey second and Yorkshire third. Tykes will be quick to argue that Yorkshire lost 36 fewer matches than Middlesex in that time but drew 56 more. The weather?
England are third in the 50-year Test match table, behind West Indies and Australia, but their place is under severe threat from South Africa and Pakistan.
The choice of Five Cricketers of the Year will be acclaimed: Aravinda de Silva (there had to be a Sri Lankan although the choice will have been made long before the World Cup), Angus Fraser, Anil Kumble, Dermot Reeve and Dominic Cork. No touring player was included for the first time since 1979.
Of equal interest is some research by Pat Murphy in which seven eminent savants - Norman Gifford, John Emburey, Eddie Hemmings, Chris Broad, John Childs, Geoff Cook, Bob Woolmer and Robin Marlar - are asked if the game has got worse. The general conclusion seems to be that while pay and fitness levels have risen, manners and attitude have declined.
David Frith. who has retired after 202 editions of Wisden Cricket Monthly, to be replaced by the Independent's Tim de Lisle, contributes an elegaic essay on the departures of R E S Wyatt and Harold Larwood, while Gideon Haigh salutes Queensland's first Sheffield Shield .
In a salute to the retiring TCCB chief executive Alan Smith, Engel refers to the Guardian's discovery that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle played goalkeeper for Portsmouth as AC Smith and makes a startling conclusion: if AC Doyle is AC Smith then could AC Smith be AC Doyle? Well, 221B Baker Street is not that far from the TCCB offices.

For the second time in as many nights, a person has been clipped by a train in Surrey.
This incident happened last night at Old Yale and Timberland just after 6:30 when a man was clipped and suffered head injuries.
Emergency Health Services says he's expected to recover after he was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital.
Early yesterday morning, a young woman had her arm amputated after she slipped and fell under a moving train.
The area is known to be a frequent crossing for pedestrians as it's in close proximity to a local beach.

We are looking for an iconic logo that can be used for marketing and merchandising opportunities. We like both the Major League Baseball logo (http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=1986) as well as most of the modern NBA logos (league and teams) (http://www.sportslogos.net/league.php?id=6)
We don't really care for any of the World Series of Poker logos (http://www.wsop.com/images/logos/guidelines/).

by Suzanne TitkemeyerLast week when Vyckie Garrison wrote a series of articles on Let Them Marry patriarch Vaughn Ohlman she suggested that we take a look at his book on young marriage. Until Vyckie started looking at and writing about his now cancelled 'Get Them Married' retreat no one here knew just how bizarre Von's ideas about young marriage were. The name of the book is 'What are you Doing? A Conversation about Dating and Courtship' and it was published back in 2011. … [Read more...]
What are you Doing? – Introduction
Revealed: Founder of 'Quiverfull' Cult Pushed His Son Into an Illegal Marriage With 16-Year-Old Girl
by Vyckie Garrison NLQ Founder from Raw StoryEditor's note: Since Vyckie Garrison wrote this piece yesterday afternoon and now Von Ohlman has scrubbed his site. So many of the links to the most awful assertions on his website will lead only to this statement:"The page you requested is not available. We are in the process of completely rewriting our site. As a result of being picked up by the national media, and being misquoted, a lot, (and lied about), we decided it was best for our tiny ministry to focus on saying exactly what we mean and to take down the hundreds of blog posts and articles which attempted to explain, discuss and explore. We hope to have more content up … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Why Hand Holding in Courtship is a Slippery Slope to Sin?
by Anonymous from their blog Necessarily Anonymous - How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Arranged Marriages Part 2Editor's note: This is a newer quiverfull marry 'em off while they are young once daddy picks the spouse blogger I found through our old pal Vaughn Ohlman. I'm always dismayed to see Christians so hung up on every single small thing that they have to stop, study scripture and then extrapolate what they've read into ever more strict rules and don'ts. That type of legalism is a killer. It doesn't 'save' people from sin, it only makes them sneak around in a guilty fashion. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Don't Trust Your Own Feelings?
by C. S. Lewis as quoted by Vaughn Ohlman at True Love Doesn't WaitEditor's note: Of course we know that Vaughn is sharing this paragraph for a two fold purpose. 1) To claim that feelings of love have no place in the decision of whom to marry and 2) to make that fundamentalist claim that feelings are not important at all, that you have to deny them. We all know what this type of emotional denial and thought crimes leads straight to. It's never mentally healthy to deny your own thoughts and emotions. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Early Marriage Best For Christians?
by Justin Deeter from Ladies Against Feminism and JustinDeeter.comInterestingly enough, while Mr. Deeter makes a few good points on why he believes Christians should marry young he does eventually move on to Von Ohlman's reason for marrying young: keeping you from falling in/on someone you're not married to's vagina/penis. It really does always boil down to sex with the patriarchy crowd. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Girls Should Marry at 15 Years Old?
by Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" at a Sportsmen Ministry event in 2009 But some Americans could also be shocked to find out that Robertson believes that the age of 15 is the perfect time for girls to get married — as long as they can cook and carry a Bible.At a Sportsmen's Ministry talk in 2009, Robertson had some advice for a young man. … [Read more...]
Quoting Quiverfull: Teen Pregnancy?
by Vaughn Ohlman from True Love Doesn't Wait - Teen Pregnancy We had great news from one of our friends the other day: one of their teenagers was pregnant!(Yeah, read that again. I actually said it. No, I wasn't kidding. Good news: teen… pregnant.)It used to be that a pregnant teen was a cause for congratulations. The whole church would gather around her and congratulate her. Oh, wait, I left something out. They would gather around her… and her husband. … [Read more...]

Why would £12 for 3 hours of great entertainment be poor value, we pay that for a blu ray all the time. I do worry our perception of value has been warped by steam sales and the like.

Spiked Your BloodMature
"So what the hell made you think it would be a good idea to reappear like that? Think she's happy now?"
"I didn't just appear, I didn't plan this!" He growled.
"But you knew we were moving here. You should have bloody hidden if you wanted to 'watch from afar!'"
"This is my pack, my home before it was yours. You expect me to leave my life!?"
"I said hide, not leave." Lazarus said coldly, the conversation only serving to make him angrier.
"So, she's sat at home, angry, upset, confused and you left. Why?"
"She kicked me out. I was hardly gonna stick around if she didn't want me there."
"You shouldn't have left."
Lazarus glared at the wolf. He was right, of course, but Lazarus had seen a different side to Melissa's temper and he didn't fancy getting on the wrong side of it again.
"So, what're you gonna do know, drink yourself into half a stupor?"
He smiled wryly. "No. As much as I'd like to, I would rather stay sober, and calm down without that."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Well, I had come out here to try and calm down, but it doesn't seem to be working." He gave Albert a pointed glance, his cold eyes meeting the guarded green ones that watched him.
"Why do you hate me so much, really?"
"I wouldn't hate you if you hadn't hurt Melissa so badly, and then have the nerve to point out my own faults."
"I do love her though, even after all these years but I couldn't tell her what I am!"
"Then you're as cowardly as I am, aren't you? Just in different ways." Lazarus told him simply.
"I am no coward." He growled. "I moved here to her favourite place in hopes she would find me again. Do you know how much it cost for transport to keep an eye on her?"
"You were so afraid of telling her what you are, but it wouldn't have mattered to her. I'm sure even you know that. So it really does make me wonder why you were hiding from her for so long. You wanted her happy. She would have dealt with it. It could have been you to put a ring on her finger, but it wasn't, so why, Albert?"
"We are too different, it would have torn her apart. Like your relationship now. Do you know what the vampires will do to her? The wolves were being kind letting you off so easily. She won't be so lucky."
"You're telling me that like I don't know."
"Then you know. I would do anything to have that bond with her, but it won't ever be. Just like yours Melissa is only so strong."
Lazarus sighed, pushing his hair back out of his face. He took a long look at Albert. "I'm going back to the apartment. She might have calmed down by now. She wants to talk to you alone, you should probably come." he said the last words through gritted teeth.
"You finally see sense." He sighed, tightening the tie around his hair that sat loosely down his back.
"Ever been attacked by an angry, thirsty vampire?" Lazarus asked, beginning to walk back to the apartment. "I wouldn't recommend it. Though if you have, you would understand why I did as she said and left."
"No, I haven't, but I've seen you being attacked."
"Ugh. Just how much did you see of us?" Lazarus asked, grimacing at the thought of Albert watching the whole time.
"Hmm, quite a bit, why? What're you afraid I'd see?"
"It's just really creepy." Lazarus managed to laugh. The idea of someone watching while they had made love didn't daunt him, but it would have made Melissa uncomfortable.
"Well, I never saw your more... intimate moments, I left before then." He nodded. "The last month I haven't been watching you at all. I figured you were both happy." Lazarus couldn't really be bothered to admit that it hadn't been all fun and games during the last month, and so he walked quietly, not really caring if his silence made Albert uneasy or not. "Umm although I should really tell you..." he began, but stopped abruptly.
"Tell me what?" Lazarus asked wearily.
"You know there is a blood link between vampires and those they have drank from?"
"And that it is stronger from every time they drink?"
"I knew the first bit." He shrugged, glancing at Albert.
"Well, you know those blood bags..."
"Yes..." a hint of impatience entering his voice as Albert skirted around his point for a moment.
"Well..." He muttered, "About three of those bags were my blood."
"You've been donating blood to the NHS?" Lazarus almost laughed at the ridiculous idea.
"No. I left them out in the open; I stole the bags and filled them myself. The smell, mixed with some human blood made the bags enticing to her."
"So how long has she had a link to you, then?" he asked after a while.
"Hmm, long enough." He nodded. "You're not angry?
Lazarus sighed. "There's no point being pissed off about it. You probably did it long before she met me anyways and I can't change anything."
"Yeah." He nodded, glancing around from left to right.
"What are you looking around for?"
"Oh, heh. Nothing."
Lazarus stopped and faced Albert. "What?"
"It was in her recent batch..." He mumbled. "But she'll want to see you, we should be going." Lazarus eyes narrowed at him, but he didn't really have the patience or energy to be beating the crap out of him just yet. Setting off again, Lazarus fought to keep his temper -and the wolf - under control. Melissa growled, a pain shooting through her head as Lazarus' anger rose. She let out a deep sigh, turning herself to the piano she played clumsily. Meanwhile Albert mumbled a sorry beneath his breath.
As they neared the apartments, they could make out the sound of a piano being played. Despite his anger, Lazarus felt his lips tug up a little. He pushed on through into the building and took the stairs two at a time. Melissa heard his footsteps but she still frowned as they were echoed by someone else's. Her fingers slipped on the keys and she cursed herself, before looking down at the keys focusing harder on the song at hand.
He unlocked the door and let himself in, not smiling now as Albert followed him into his home. He grimaced at the wall, not meeting her eyes. "You wanted to talk. Well here he is."
She nodded absently, keen to finish her song first. "Hello, Melissa." Albert smiled and Melissa frowned as she slipped on the keys again. She sighed, growling at the keys. Lazarus thunked to the floor, leaning back against the wall, staring at the two, saying nothing.
She rose from her seat, looking at him, "how much do you know?" She asked simply, tapping her head. She looked to Lazarus, then back at Albert. "I heard you talking. You took advantage of what I am." She whined, staring at him coldly. Lazarus said nothing, watching them.
Albert nodded. "Sorry." He muttered, but she growled.
"Not good enough! You made me hate, love, hate what I am now all I find is anger." Albert nodded again. "Sorry." She snarled, drawing back her hand she punched him, the silver from her ring burning her cheek slightly. "Stop it!" She cried. "You're not sorry! You're just saying that!" Lazarus couldn't disguise a faint smile as Melissa hit Albert, but still he stayed quiet.
Albert grimaced slightly, but returned his gaze to her. "I am sorry. I mean it." Melissa ignored it, staring at her hand.
"You see this?" She asked holding it up in front of him. "It's an engagement ring. For a while I thought I would marry you, I dreamt of it. Now, now I have a better dream." She sighed, looking down. Albert moved toward her.
"It still can be your dream." He smiled, seemingly ignoring Lazarus. He lifted her head with his finger, kissing her softly. Her eyes were wide open with shock, she froze to the spot.
"That might not be such a good idea, Albert," Lazarus' voice was low, and he was on his feet, though neither Melissa nor Albert had seen him move. "Step away. Right now."
Albert pressed his lips firmly onto hers and smiled. "It's your choice, Melissa." he said into her head. He pulled away, hunger lining his eyes. "I could give you so much more." He smirked.
"Okay. I think I've held my temper long enough." Lazarus snarled, collapsing to the floor with a loud snarl as the wolf tore its way to the fore without any encouragement.
Melissa stood there stunned; Albert had sent her all the images of them previously, all the way up to his death. She stood between Lazarus and Albert. "NO!" She shrieked.
Lazarus, however, was too far gone to notice as fur erupted over his body, his reshaped limbs clawing out of the material of his clothes. Scrambling up, the wolf hurled itself at Albert, jaws snapping.
She stood between them again, batting the wolf away. "Lazarus! Stop this. Now!" She growled. The wolf skidded slightly on the wooden floor, but he landed on all four feet. He looked between Albert and Melissa, growling.
She held her arms out in front of her in a cross shape. Albert snaked his arms round her waist, kissing her cheek from behind and she lowered her hands on top of his prying him off her. "Both of you. Stop it!" She took a deep breath, swallowing hard. "Don't any of you love me?" She whimpered. Lazarus fell silent at her words, though his eyes betrayed his murderous desire as he glared up at Albert.
She growled, clutching her head again as anger surged through both of them. She caught images of what Albert wanted to do to Lazarus and vice-versa. She clutched her head. "Stop it!" She whined. The blood link between them both was too strong and they were so close. Lazarus glanced at Melissa and did his best to quell his thoughts. "Sorry," he murmured.
She turned her hand, slapping Albert. "You too!" Albert nodded, calming down. "You claim to love me, but you broke your promise." She knelt down, wrapping her arms around Lazarus' neck. "I'm not yours anymore. If you love me you will leave us alone." She mumbled, tightening her grip as she fought back tears. "Go, now."
Albert nodded, "this isn't over, Melissa can get away with hitting me, I deserved it but Lazarus I'll be back one day." He promised. Melissa let out a low growl. "GO!" She screamed at the top of her voice, covering Lazarus' ears first. He winced as she screamed, despite her covering his ears. He whined and shifted slightly, barking at Albert. Albert covered his ears too, then growled, leaving the building. Melissa collapsed onto Lazarus, leaning on him steadily. She still fought back her tears as she gently clutched at his fur.
"I'm sorry. I knew it was a bad idea bringing him here." He said quietly, as his thoughts rumbled on irritably in the back of his mind as he remembered the look on Albert's face as he talked to Melissa and the way he had put his arms around her waist.
"Please come back." She muttered.
He inclined his head gently, looking at her sadly, before he got up and took a couple of steps away from her, towards his clothes on the floor. He tried to keep as much of the noise inside as possible - there had been enough screaming for one day - but he couldn't help the strained whimpers that got out. She winced at the noises he made but as soon as he turned back she flung herself at him, her arms open wide.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by Joe Rod, Apr 22, 2010.
Man, I really feel like posting that the Cavs just stink! Anyone else want to chime in on that???
This thread is gonna be full of Sla..... nevermind.
they stink. " Kobe rules over LeBron any day" -slate
Bulls got lucky. Cavs in 5
Kung ** Pandoval will be here any minute.
Did SLATE go through with the bet? I saw him posting in a couple of threads.
He started cursing people out and got banned.
I am a Witness that this thread is funny.
The combo of losing a bet and his NBA team losing was just to much for the little guido.
"It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear."
awwww mannnnn....
This thread makes SLATE sad:
BANNED????? What fun is this thread if Slate can't see it???? Can we just give him viewing rights?
Dont worry
He has another account.
I would imagine his banning had as much to do with the fact that it appeared he wasn't going to man up on his end of the bet that he lost, as he pointed out he was still posting, as it had to do with the fact that he then started cursing at people.
But if he wasn't going to stay away, as he'd bet, then it's not like the guy hasn't been back on here with another account. I'm sure he's already got multiple other accounts ready in the event that they start banning him off any of them.
And Joe you know you started this simply because he wasn't supposed to be able to say anything about it for at least a month but that just would have meant a month from now he'd have dug this thread up and ranted, raved, puffed out his chest, and did his thing then.
i dont think the Cavs are all that great...they are a very good team right now....but i wouldnt call them great.
that being said, they are far from stink.
The Nets stink. The Clippers stink. The TPups stink.
Lebron just beasted on the Bulls
Poor Lebron, if they get past the Celtics, my Magic will crush his hopes of getting to the finals once again.
Haha, not anymore. He's banned too.

Not Over Yet
I guess it wasn't my fault
That I thought it was the end.
The music stopped,
The curtains closed.
This show was over.
And yet minutes later
The clowns returned again.
And danced,
And sang.
We carried on.
But when the night was ended
They didn't fade away.
Instead, pulled me.
Took me.
I did not struggle.
I returned home months later
A different person inside.
Now older.
Now harder.
I had changed.
When I saw you again,
You mimed for me to 'shush'.
And spoke.
And told me.
"Not over yet."

"What I am is a realist. I always knew I'd like what I'm doing. Oh, perhaps it would have been nice to be a major-league baseball player, but that's where the realism comes in."
"If a graduating MBA were to ask me 'How do I get rich in a hurry?' I would not respond with quotations from Ben Franklin or Horatio Alger, but would instead hold my nose with one hand and point with the other toward Wall Street."
"Wall Street is the only place that people ride to work in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway."
Over the years, as Warren Buffett's influence and affluence have grown, one thing has remained the same - his unpretentious, honest, and optimistic approach toward business and life. Now you can discover life's little secrets of success as revealed by the world's greatest investor. In this wise and winning collection of quotes, writings, and favorite sayings, Warren Buffett speaks on diverse subjects such as investing, the Internet economy, family and friends, running a business, honesty, teaching, paying taxes, and much, much more. It also examines the thinking that prompted the second richest man in the world to give 85 percent of his wealth to the first richest couple (Bill and Melinda Gates) to distribute to charity.
Assembled by best-selling author Janet Lowe - and updated to reflect Buffett's life over the past decade - this audiobook includes a wealth of previously unpublished material. This unprecedented peak into the financial genius' wildly profitable philosophy is often surprising, always intriguing, and sparked throughout by Buffett's unique combination of savvy business smarts and wry wit.

"Great read about a fascinating man."
This is a great story about a fascinating man. It is more of a generalization of financial advice. He is a man with great quotes. Many times quite funny. Loved it.
""The Will Rogers of Investing""
Liked the book because I like Warren Buffet. Book itself is tedious in spots, and only positive aspects of Buffet are presented. More character sketch and entertainment than investment insight.
"Warren was/is fun"
I want to listen to more of Buffett
I learned that behind his success...he is fun!
Not sure. I really enjoyed the family history and exploration of the relationships. I also enjoyed hearing about Buffett's philosophies, however part of it read somewhat dry.
Already reading a few books.
Don't know enough narrators to recommend one.
Stick to a simple philosophy and trust your instincts. Research, research, research!
"Worth the price"
It would be hard to listen to this book and not gain enough wisdom pay many times over for this well packaged set of stories. Brilliant subject. Brilliantly written.
Sentient Being, Planet Earth
"Thumbs Up"
Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Although the earlier reviews are split 50/50 the book was great. You got a sense of Warren and his world through the often funny text and constant focus on what makes sense. Well worth the credit!
"Enjoyably informative and captivating!"
I really enjoyed this book and took about 10 pages of notes! There were many great quotes, principles and experiences to learn from. I was completely new to Warren Buffett and came away from this book as an admirer of his work. His honesty and diligent, goal-oriented work are characteristics worth emulating in business ideas as well as lifestyle. The author did a very thorough job of representing the concepts with actual stories from Buffett's life.
If you are new to investing and curious about it, I highly recommend this book!
