Last Week On EarthMature
Jordan Dikes is hit by a car one day and dies. However, he is moved into the afterlife in which he recieves a mission from its leader... but the only thing that is on Jordan's mind is love, friendship... and revenge.
I found
myself unable to focus once again as science class began. My mind continued to
drift to what I was going to be doing later that night; my friends and I were
going down to a bowling alley just to chill out for the first time this year.
It had been forever since I had seen them, and all I could think about was
having a good time.
I found
myself completely focused when my teacher, Ms. Tierna, slammed a book on my
desk with such force that the desk vibrated and bumped my head. My hand rubbed
the back of my head where I had been hit, and I looked up at the teacher with
an obvious look of annoyance.
stop daydreaming. That's all you ever do in this class" Ms. Tierna said
strictly. "I don't want to have to write you up for this".
I sighed.
"Yes Ms. T" I responded dully. Throughout the lesson, whatever it was, I still
paid little to no attention.
Up to this
point right now, my life in a few words is living, breathing hell. From birth
to the day I turned sixteen, my life had given me no breaks whatsoever. First
off, I had been teased and beat up plenty of times in my elementary school
years. And here is the best part about it; none of the teachers ever noticed or
seemed to care! This continued on until I reached middle school, where the
teasing turned into fighting and the beating up into knives. Once I got to high
school, the fighting turned to knives, and the knives turned to guns.
My friends?
I have little. We had always stuck together, that is, until high school, when
we were all split up. As my cruel fate would have it, I was on a team that
shared nothing with the ones my friends were on. Figures. Just friggin'
Every day
the only thing my mind seems to drift to is how awful my life is. It is awful.
I had stood on a windowsill once and held a blade in my hands before
contemplating my reason of existing. So far, the only motivation I have to not
go ahead and kill myself is that I don't want to have the feeling of a knife
going into my chest. I also seemed to have some twisted thought that eventually
everything will get better and I'll rebound from this hole I had been buried
Not many
things kept me going other than that. I'd like to stay with my friends to the
end, but recently I have been rethinking that. I'd like to have my girlfriend
by my side whenever I need someone smart and nice, but recently I have been
rethinking that.
all of these thoughts will be cleared out when I head out for tonight. I looked
up at the clock as though it was nearly time to go, but I knew that it was only
second quarter. I guess I was just praying that the clock would jump forward
another six hours. Then I would be driving in my car down to the bowling alley
with not a worry in my head.
Ms. Tierna
walked beside me again, giving me an evil stare. I matched it, silently saying
"Don't bug me today". She walked back to the front of the room after believing
I was finally focused.
I never was.
My attention
soon fell on the kid laughing in the back row. At first glance, judging a book
by its mangled cover, you would think Hunter Feworth was an unpopular,
bad-looking boy with no sense for hygiene. Oddly enough, he was completely
popular and girls flocked to him for seemingly no reason at all. Honestly, I'm
not sure what they see in him.
Most of the
time he just sits in the back of the classroom (even if his assigned seat isn't
back there) and just BS's with his cronies that look just like him and act just
like him. I never got to know their names, and I don't want to. I'm comfortable
calling them Mini Me 1 and Mini Me 2.
Ms. Tierna
did nothing about Hunter or his idiotic cohorts. All he did was kiss up to the
teachers so that he would look like a perfect model student. Behind the scenes,
all he did was beat up those who he believed were on a lesser level then him.
To Hunter, there was his level, and then everyone else. To me, there was the
dumbass level and everyone else. Guess which one Hunter falls in?
Sitting in
front of the… things… was the one person in the world I probably couldn't live
without. My girlfriend, Amanda Hundson. She was incredibly intelligent, much
like I am. She's also incredibly beautiful. While she may not be so
good-looking in the eyes of everyone else, she is to me. Are there girls that
look better than her? Possibly. Are they as nice and smart as her? No friggin'
way. Amanda is the most compassionate and kind person I have ever met, and that
will never change.
She looked
over at me, smiled, then went back to being annoyed by Hunter's disruptive
behavior. If I ever got the chance to shoot somebody, there's no doubt it would
be Hunter.
After an
eternity; I seriously think it was that long; the bell sounded over the
intercom that the class had ended. I picked up my belongings and trudged out
the door. Before I could make it, Hunter intercepted my path and slapped my
stuff hard enough to cause me to drop them on the floor. Afterwards he began
kicking my supplies all over the place.
He bent down
and punched me on the shoulder. "Go fetch, dog" he snarled. His minions laughed
at his attempt at being funny as they strolled away. I took a few deep breaths
to try and calm myself down. Seeing that I couldn't, I just began picking up my
possessions. It would have taken forever if Amanda hadn't come over and handed
me two of my binders that had been scattered around the place.
I nodded.
"Thanks" I said, continuing to relocate my things.
"No problem"
she replied.
Ms. Tierna
sighed. "Get moving or you'll be late!" she said harshly.
I looked at
her incredulously. "Your 'perfect model student' Hunter knocked my stuff out of
my hands!" I exclaimed. She shook her head.
would never do such a thing". She pointed down the hall. "Now get moving!"
Amanda had
finished gathering my stuff and handed them over to me. I muttered thanks
again, then I walked off towards my next class. Oh, what a shock; I was just
about to be later again. Thankfully, the teacher, Mr. Northcutt, kept the door
open for me. He was the only teacher that seemed to have any sympathy for me.
"Your day
been OK?" he asked me.
I decided to
just pretend everything was fine. I probably should have told him everything,
but something held me back.
"Yeah, I'm
fine" I responded. I walked in and took my seat. Just before I sat down, Hunter
pulled my chair away and caused me to fall back on the floor. As usual, no
teacher noticed; Mr. Northcutt was talking to someone outside.
I cursed,
then shouted at Hunter. I had had enough for today.
"Back off,
ok?" I shouted. Hunter shook his head.
"No fun in
that" he laughed.
"You're just
nothing but a low-life bastard" I retorted. "When I get into the real world,
I'll be sure to drop a penny your way for your box house fund".
A witty
response such as mine (which wasn't even that witty) seemed to be too complex
for the idiotic boy to handle.
"What, you
think you're better than me?" he asked, though it didn't sound much like a
question. "You ain't".
"You can
think what you want to then" I said. "Reality will slap you in the face once
you get out of your fantasy world".
"Let me just
say eighty percent of the people in this room hate this kid" one of Hunter's
friends said while he pointed at me.
"You're not
better than me" Hunter said with finality. "You're not better than anyone.
You're the worst of the worst".
"Bitch" he
spat. He turned back to his friends and went back to being himself. I felt
myself wanting to kill him right then and now. Acting on my thoughts, I took my
scissors out of my pencil bag and clutched them tightly. Was I really going to
do this? I was able to control my devious motives.
Northcutt entered the room and started teaching his history lesson for the day.
I couldn't pay attention in this class either; all I could think about was the
back-and-forth insults that had been shared just a minute ago. I hated Hunter.
I absolutely despised him. If he ever died, I'd be the person crying at his
funeral out of joy. Especially if it was I who killed him.
through this particular class was just as difficult as science before it. My
thoughts were flying around and ramming into each other and causing me to get a
slight headache.
Eventually I
heard the bell go off, a heavenly sound in my ears. I grabbed my lunch bag and
walked down to lunch, the only time I can see my friends. I sat over at our
usual table; the third one down from the lunch line. Jack and Brant were
already there.
"Rotten day,
as usual" I lamented.
"You too? I
got buried with homework, and I still have two classes left" Jack replied.
nodded. "Likewise" he said.
I shrugged.
"You don't have airheads surrounding you twenty-four seven. I've had enough of
them for a lifetime".
"Just ignore
them" Brant advised me. "They won't do anything unless you respond".
I shook my
head. "They'll do it whether I respond or not. They're persistent bitches".
"If the
teachers actually did something for once instead of using their empty 'no
bullying' words, maybe things would be a little different" Jack said.
"They don't
care" I responded angrily. "They think that everything's fine".
Sam sat down
at our table, another one of my friends.
everyone?" he asked. We all shrugged.
"Just a
normal day" I said. "Homework, annoying idiots, etcetera".
He sighed.
"School's full of 'em".
"Let's quit
talking about depressing stuff" Jack suggested.
"Like where
we're going tonight!" Brant said happily.
I smiled. "Yeah!
It'll be the first time we've gone out this year. Getting away from this damned
"It'll be
great. Harrison and Zach will be coming too, and we never see them" Sam chipped
"We can all
go get high on caffeine and just relax" I said, leaning back in my chair as I
thought of this. I love soda, and a night out with plenty of soda available is
just what I desire.
"You guys
won't have too much fun, come to think of it" Sam said, grinning. "I'm the
master at bowling".
"Pfft! Yeah
right!" Jack responded, challenging him.
"None of you
have a chance against me" I said, chipping in my own comment.
shrugged. "I extremely suck at bowling, so I have no room to talk". We all
laughed at his comment.
The other
friend that hangs out with my group, Quintin, joined us at our table.
Quintin" I said, waving. He nodded, a grim expression on his face.
wrong?" Sam asked him.
"I can't go
tonight" he said, bowing his head. "My folks don't want me out at such a late
"We're there
at six, you could at least stick around for a few hours!" I said.
"Well, you
guys know my parents have always been too overprotective of me, and I don't
think they'll ever stop" Quintin said. He sighed. "Sorry, but I'm not going".
"That just
plain sucks" Sam said, a hint of anger in his voice.
We were
silent for a bit, a rarity at my table. We were usually pretty loud and having
a lot of fun. Come to think of it, today had been going really unusual so far,
and I began preferring the usual.
How ironic
it was when lunch seemed to pass by so quickly. If only my classes would be the
same! Two more classes were still left in the day, and I did not want to sit
through any minute of them.
They all
went on the same as usual; Hunter being himself, his miniature actors mimicking
him, my teacher being boring, and me getting extremely annoyed by the before
mentioned dumbass' antics.
seemed to be really out to get on my nerves. I guess it was all due to the weed
he smokes outside during the lunch period. His cohorts, no doubt, had some of
the stuff too. They claimed a rainbow shot into the room and turned somebody
purple. All of his other friends prefer cocaine. They make me sick; just
reckless individuals slowly wasting away.
As I began
working on my math homework during some downtime in my current class, someone
smacked me hard on the back of my head. I didn't even have to guess who it was.
"Your big
head's like an egg; I just want to crack it" Hunter joked. His high-in-the-sky
friends laughed like they were coughing from smoke.
I continued
to do what I was doing, ignoring Hunter and his Lucy's in the Sky. Of course,
he decided to smack me again, with much more force.
"Damn thing
won't break" Hunter laughed, hitting me once more. Why is it that the teacher
couldn't see any of this happening?
I stood up
and stared him down. "Get you bitching attitude out of my face" I said, pushing
him away from me. Hunter smiled.
"Oh-ho! So
you wanna fight" he said, coming towards me at a fast pace. I ducked under his
punch with ease-as I said, he was probably too wasted to hit a grizzly bear.
Weed, various other drugs, and alcohol made one, extremely smart kid. And I say
that sarcastically.
The teacher,
Mrs. Frellich, finally noticed what was going on and decided to intervene.
"What are
you both doing!" she shouted, more of a demand that a question. Hunter just
pointed at me.
"This kid
started hitting me, and I didn't know why. I just tried hitting him in self-
defense" he replied.
I shook my
head. "Yeah right! You kept smacking me on the head, then I pushed you back in
self-defense. You decided to turn it into a fight!"
Frellich took a deep breath. "If you two can't behave properly in school, you
can do it after school. Consider this your warning gentlemen". She walked back
to the front door of the room and started talking to another teacher there.
Hunter huffed and went back to his seat, not before threatening me.
"I'll get
you" he whispered to me. "I'll fucking kill you".
I said
nothing to his response and went on with my work. Hunter still tried to make
his threats make me flinch, but I dismissed his comments. A normal person would
notice that I wanted nothing to do with him, but Hunter isn't close to normal.
I could still feel his putrid breath on my shoulder.
I finally
decided to say something. "Could you move, please?" I asked, being as nice as I
possibly could to that creature. He walked away, still looking at me. Rolling
my eyes, I turned back towards the homework.
started talking to his friends and texting on his phone. While he did all this,
he periodically glanced at me, putting me at a feeling of unease. He was
planning something obviously. No doubt a
night at a bar getting super drunk and then go ahead driving around the town.
A crackling
sound came over the intercom, indicating that the assistant principle was
beginning to talk.
afternoon, everybody. Here are the afternoon announcements".
I decided to
zone out and just wait for the bell that was about to give me the best news of
the day. The announcements didn't concern me anyway; it was telling jocks that
their football practice was cancelled, track was still on, and some other stuff
I neglected to listen to.
I started
packing the school supplies I required for the weekend as the clock slowly
began to count down to my freedom. For clarification, I asked someone next to
me if I had everything. Satisfied, I slung my backpack over my shoulder and
stood up as everyone else did; they were just as ready to go as I was. The
weekend was heaven to anyone in work or school.
Frellich complained and commanded us to sit down, but the bell sounded just as
she started to say so. I seemed to leap to the door, the exit of school and the
entrance to a good time. I wasted no time running down the steps and walking as
fast as I could to my car which was just across the bus parking lot.
I allowed my
mind to drift freely without intervention; a good time was coming. It wouldn't
have mattered if I was jumping off of Mount Everest. I was going to be with my
friends that I haven't seen for so long. I smiled, a good mood coming on. I was
about to turn on my iPod and listen to some Beatles music, but I noticed Amanda
was waiting for me at the other side of the street I crossed.
"Hey" I
said, greeting her. She smiled and said hey in reply.
"Gonna have
some fun tonight" I said. "My friends are heading down to the bowling alley
down on Huffrey".
nice" she responded.
A thought
popped in my head. "You should come with!" I suggested. "We'll have a lot of
fun. Hannah and Anna will be there too".
shrugged. "Sure, why not? I'd like some time off".
"Great!" I
said, grinning. Tonight just got better.
An audible
shouting noised caused me to turn my head to see the source. It was none other
than Hunter, talking as loud as he could with his friends. The beer cans they
held in their hands were clearly visible from this distance. They all packed
into Hunter's car and got ready to head off.
"Airheads" I
said in disgust.
"No, they're
perfect model students, remember?" Amanda said sarcastically.
Seeing that
the walking sign on the crosswalk was 'walk', Amanda and I started crossing
over, still talking about our lives and what happened today. The load roar of
an engine disrupted our conversation. Hunter's car was barreling down right
after us!
Acting on
instinct I pushed Amanda out of harm's way as the car neared us. I tried to
dodge the oncoming vehicle, but I was unable to; everything was happening so
quickly. My body was sent flying in the air by the force of the speeding car,
the feeling in my legs already gone.
I landed
with a loud 'crack'-ing sound on the road. All of the feeling in my body was
entirely gone. My head had been busted open, and I could feel my blood
trickling out. My vision started to become blurred.
Hunter's car
swerved around until it spun out of control and flipped over. Their drunken
stupidity caused them to probably kill themselves as well. Even though I felt
wrong about it, I hoped they actually had perished.
It was the
least that could happen for me at this point. I heard the screams of students
who had witnessed the crash. Teachers were running around, panicked, and each
one was dialing 9-1-1 on their cellphones. Some kids were doing so as well.
I grunted as
I tried to get up, but I gave up quickly. My pain was too great for me to move
a finger. It was too much for me to bear.
rushed over to my side. Her tears fell on my face, but I couldn't even feel
them. I couldn't feel anything. Was this what it was like to die? Was this how
my story ends?
"Please, no!
Jordan, don't-"Amanda said between her sobs. "This can't be… no!"
teachers at this point had rushed to my side. They tried to pull Amanda away
from me, but she refused to move. They tried taking my pulse, checking my
injuries, but I knew it was too late.
I decided to
accept the fate that had been thrown at me like a curveball. I had become completely
numb to all feelings, including my internal ones. I could no longer think; my
brain had given up as well and shut down.
The blare of
sirens sounded in the background, but they had no chance of making it. I had
been murdered by Hunter. Hunter had killed me.
I was slowly
slipping from life, a leaf ready to drop. Amanda was still leaned over me.
Using all the strength I could, I lifted up my arm and brought her closer to me
even though the pain punished me greatly for this movement. Giving off one last
smile, I closed my eyes…

Whether it's a fringe player looking to cement a spot on the final 23-man roster, or a starter looking to silence his critics, the U.S. men's national team's friendly against the Czech Republic (8pm, ESPN) should provide answers for head coach Bob Bradley.
With Bradley selecting his World Cup team on Wednesday, the match at Rentschler Field will prove pivotal for bubble players such a Alejandro Bedoya, Edson Buddle and Herculez Gomez. A solid performance against the Czechs could go a long way in helping a player book his ticket to South Africa.
"This past week we've had training to see how we were on our running," said Jose Francisco Torres. "Everybody has enjoyed seeing each other again, but now we have an important game. Everyone is focused on that."
While everyone is in World Cup mode, it is likely that some regulars will be rested in order to make room for the numerous players fighting for the final six or seven spots up for grabs.
One regular who won't be rested is Oguchi Onyewu, who has not played in a match since injuring his patellar tendon on Oct. 14. Onyewu stated during the pre-World Cup camp in Princeton, NJ that he's fully fit and healthy, but questions remain about how his form is after the lengthy layoff.
"I'm up to par and up to game fitness right now," said Onyewu. "All that's left to see is game situations and hopefully within the next couple of friendlies I'll be able to get the cobwebs off and put to rest all uneasiness that everybody might have."
Centerbacks Carlos Bocanegra and Jay DeMerit are also coming off recent injuries, but both might be given the night off due to their status with the team. Tim Howard might also be rested as he was healing a thigh strain during training camp.
If Howard does not dress, Brad Guzan and Marcus Hahnemann will likely split time against Czech Republic. Just exactly who is Howard's backup is uncertain, but the answer could come with a strong showing.
Of all the positions, forward is the one with the most question marks. Jozy Altidore and Brian Ching, if healthy, are locks to travel to South Africa, leaving Gomez, Buddle, Robbie Findley and Eddie Johnson to battle it out for the final one to two spots.
Gomez and Buddle are the more in form strikers out of that group, with both enjoying stellar seasons before joining the national team. Word around the team is that Gomez has enjoyed a solid camp, while Buddle has struggled a bit, especially with fitness. Buddle, however, feels up to the challenge if his number is called.
"If I get my chance, I'm just going to run with it and play hard and walk off the field knowing I gave it my all," said Buddle.
For Buddle and other hopefuls, the Czech Republic match is likely to make or break their World Cup spots. That pressure might not come close to what they will feel in South Africa if they make it, but it might be as close as one could get in a friendly.
What do you think of tonight's game? What are you keeping an eye on? Do you see Onyewu performing well? How will Buddle and Gomez do?
Share your thoughts below.
You must be a newbie to our national team. Like him or not, Ching has the most experience of any of our strikers. He HAS scored goals for the USMNT, IS quite effective in the air, and makes the players around him better. No, he's not going to blow past defenders or dazzle with 1v1 moves, but what striker for us is? The situation is this: Our only legitimate dangerous striker is a 20 yr old who scored only a single goal in his first EPL season. I love Jozy's potential and am praying for him to break out this summer, but so far he has been inconsistant.
From the amount of Beasley is brilliant stories floating about, Bedoya is already toast.
The best non-news from camp is that Ching is great, and Kljestan is god stories have not been circulated.
Brian did make some nice passes tonight, but if it comes down to Gomez or Ching, it's got to be Gomez.
Between buddle, ching and johnson it's closer, for myself I'd lean to buddle, though on clicking with teammates Ching had slight edge tonight.
you were close, 4-2
wrong. as Gomez showed with his spin move and shot – saved by cech – or his headed goal.
If it's down to gomez or ching getting on the plane, the other guy punched his ticket tonight
you mean years of being played out of position on mediocre teams by clearly mediocre coaches.
after winning mls cup as a striker – just brilliant to move the guy to the wing.
When playing back in his spot for a top mexican side, well the result is 1st ever U citizen topping a foreign league in scoring. and you think he should stay home?
Still in the game tonight Bornie was embarrassing himself and whil Kljestan made a few nice passes. he was also late coming back to help on the 2nd, 3rd and probably 4th goal too.
They may be looking for answers but they created more questions. Where are some good FBs? Gooch is a long way off.

One day all we could think of was dots!
Dots on the belt of a wedding dress, the bridegroom's bow tie, on the headpiece and the wedding cake, everywhere in the decoration… and because we knew that our favorite wedding planner Katrin Glaser from "Sagt Ja!" is as dot-crazy as we are, we told her about it. Katrin was hooked instantly and independently came up with exactly the same ideas we already had, that made it a done deal!
Hello dear Corinna :) !!
Thank you again for my dream dress! I received so many compliments and I will never forget how I, newlywed and hand in hand with my husband, walked down the beach on Borkum barefoot with my beautiful Shelly! A dream come true!!
Dear nonis - you're simple the best!
Lots of love and thanks,
Dear noni team,
I wanted to again thank you for your extraordinary, charming and stunning work. The way you welcome and care for a customer make the "purchase" of a wedding dress quite an event of its own! I will always fondly remember the weekend in Cologne. Being a bride that is not a model size I am used to taking whatever stuff there is available. But you could make my every wishes possible and I am still excited about my dress! I felt so completely comfortable!

Olumide Edwards Adegbolu popularly known as Olu Maintain, has waded into the current economic instability in the country - as well as why couples in our generation are tying the knot for frivolous reasons.
In a chat with HipTv, the Lagos-born singer spoke on Nigeria's current economic crisis, saying:
"Nigeria politics is a very complex equation to solve. There is so much ethnicity. It's very challenging. You can tell that they are well-intentioned; from the very aggressive crusade against corruption trying to indict people but you know at the same time, it's a question of the right government at the wrong time.
"Look at what is happening with the Naira against the dollar for example, a lot of what is responsible for that has nothing to do with the government but I mean when you are selling oil at a 100 USD per barrel and it increases to about three hundred and something USD, and oil constitute like 68 – 70% of what we bank on as our export in this country, I mean the Naira is going to take a hit.
"There is so much uncertainty, there is unrest with the militants that control the oil area and so on, so it's just a situation that was already bad and it has to get a little bit worse before it can get better unfortunately.
"It's not like this government is just sitting down and enjoying the direction this country is going. But I'm still very optimistic that there will be light at the end of the dark tunnel."
On marriage
"A lot of people that get married these days get married for the wrong reasons. Everybody looks forward to the wedding but nobody is ready for the commitment of the marriage and marriage is a life time commitment.
"Marriage is a decision that you have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life, so 9 times out of 10, people get married for the glamour, the wedding ceremony, the grams, the likes, the harsh-tags but marriage entails a lot more than that.
"I'm not saying that's my excuse for not wanting to get married but I know enough to know that to balance your marriage and a successful music career is like balancing the economy of Nigeria and we all know how it is going with this present dispensation now.
"It's very challenging, so I would rather not fail at both and focus on one," he added.

Wauwatosa West boys track and field coach Scott Jordan has a realistic outlook for the upcoming spring season.
'This looks to be a rebuilding year for the Tosa West boys,' Jordan said. 'We have a few pieces back from last season.'
Here are some of Jordan's thoughts on those pieces.
The fourth place 4x100 relay but will be looking to the underclassmen to fill some holes.
Reggie Cole is back and Jordan expects some good things from him.
Kenny Spence returns and has his sights on a couple school records.
Collin Joseph, an alternate on the 4x100 last year, has been looking strong so far.
Patrick Campbell and Taylor Floyd-Mews will be leading a stronger distance crew.
The Trojans finished 20th (eight points) out of 22 teams at the Nelson/Daniel Classic held at UW-Whitewater on Saturday, as Arrowhead ran away with the title with 85.5 points, well ahead of second place Niles West (48) of Illinois.
Campbell finished fifth in the 1,600-meters with a personal-best time of 4 minutes, 31.55 seconds.
'He ran a good race,' Jordan said. 'It was the start of what could be an exciting season for him.'
Jimmy Reynolds took fifth in the long jump with a leap of 20-feet, 4½ inches, also pleasing Jordan.
'This was a nice surprise,' he said. 'Jimmy went over 20 feet at the first meet of the season.'
Floyd-Mews finished 11th in the 3,200 (10:20.32) while Brion Felix in the shot put (44-9) and Paul Tucker in the pole vault (20-4½) each finished 12th.
Kevin Dettlaff was 17th in the 800 (2:12.60), Ronald Brown 24th in the shot put (41-11 ½) and Walker Hannstad was 26th in the 400 (1:01.57).
The Trojans will now take part in the Chris Wilson Invitational at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Milwaukee Lutheran.

Chapter 16: The Lizard
With bare feet, she scaled the trees in a hurry. The trees - the forest was her home now. She no longer slept in the comfort of the cabin near the river to the west, she no longer played with the old man's grandchildren, she no longer ate their strange food and hid her distaste for their sweet meals, and she was no longer welcome among them. Ever since that old man passed away ten years ago and the children grew into adults, and her appearance became more and more of a problem to bear with.
With scales covering a good percentage of her body, she did her best to hide it - even when the old man was still alive. The old man had soft and comforting eyes and a wrinkled face too...and he welcomed the girl, but when he was no longer there, his children and grandchildren's attitude towards her changed to something that she expected, but was still surprised by. Hate and abhorrence.
It was after that when they finally made their move. In their hands were stones and sticks, but she ran before they saw her. And the girl kept running until her feet and legs finally gave in and the adrenaline rushes that burned through her body furiously came to stop. She was in the forest after that. The same strange, thick, and standoffish forest, filled with things that frightened her in the dead of night. On those nights, she cradled into her makeshift bed of leaves and twigs and turned her back to the world to hide. At night, she was afraid of humans, monsters, and even others like herself. Maybe they wouldn't hurt you, but maybe they would. Her mind had taunted her with those words so many times too...
But on one strange day, when her mouth craved the taste of smoked pork and fresh fruit, she unknowingly carried her feet and body to a town nearby. When the smell of something very much edible and likely tasty too drifted in the air for her nose to inhale, her hunger took over.
Without an eye witness to stress that they had seen a lizard walk on two legs, she stole a grey cloak from some house and wore it for the warmth and the protection of prying eyes. She drifted into the market with her new cloak and hid in the shadows as best she could.
Her starving stomach and silver eyes took in the almost mouthwatering sight of meat. Oh glorious meat, she inwardly screamed in delight, how I've missed you! Without thinking anything through, she stole some scarps of beef (or what she could guess was beef) and just before she could run away, she heard a conversation about a haven.
"For girls of different races too," the butcher she had stolen from laughed along with the chubby woman he was talking to. Of course they believed it was hogwash. So did she...well, some part of her did. The other part of her was more than convinced of existence of this "haven".
The thing was is that she listened to the part of her that continuously told her that ghosts weren't real. And, not very surprisingly, that was the part of her that was convinced. And that's why she was there, sitting on a branch of a tree she only seconds ago climbed, staring with disbelief at that...that house!
I'm dreaming aren't I? She pinched her fleshly legs one too many times until she realized she was in fact not dreaming. The girl almost fell of the branch too, when coming upon that fact. Fortunately, she leaped from the branch and to the ground before actually falling.
The girl cautiously took her steps to the door. When she was in front of her opening to doom, disappointment, or happily ever after, she pressed her cloak against her and groomed her bush of red hair. If there was someone to accept her, she might as well look presentable in some way. Now her hand stretched out, slowly, and spoke to herself before doing the intended action, "Come on, Alkyra. Be brave..."
Alkyra knocked and instead of making contact with wood, a face was there instead.
Oh, cow poop...

Two people who were arrested after a man and a woman died of gunshot wounds have been released on police bail.
A 23-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman are being questioned by West Midlands Police after the pair were found at a house in Laneside Gardens in the Birchalls area of Walsall in the early hours with serious gunshot injuries.
Ambulance crews attended but the victims died at the scene.
West Midlands Police are treating the deaths as suspicious.
The house and cul-de-sac have been cordoned off and an investigation launched into the circumstances surrounding the deaths, a force spokesman said.
Two people arrested nearby have been taken to a police station for questioning, he added.
Detective Inspector Michaela Kerr, from the Criminal Investigation Department, said: "Both the man and woman sustained gunshot injuries and they received emergency treatment at the scene. However they could not be saved and died a short time later.
"We are treating their deaths as suspicious and two people were arrested nearby in connection with the incident."
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Midlands Police or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
Police were at two properties on opposite terraces in Laneside Gardens this morning.
A forensic tent was erected in the front garden of one of the houses and officers could be seen inside the address and in the back garden.
Neighbours said a 38-year-old woman and her two young sons had been living at the rented end-terrace house for three years.
Local resident Carol Robinson said the woman's 69-year-old mother lived in the other property.
Mrs Robinson said the 38-year-old woman, a teaching assistant, had two young sons who attended primary school and an older son, thought to be around 24-years-old.
Neighbours named the 38-year-old woman who lived at the property as Clare Sly.
Mrs Robinson, 67, said: "She is gorgeous and a lovely mum. The two young boys are so well-behaved and polite. They are a lovely little family and quite quiet, they have never caused any trouble or anything.
"It was such a shock to us when we woke up this morning.
"I'm a light sleeper but I didn't hear a thing during the night. We found out when we saw the police and then we heard there were guns involved on the radio."
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Superintentent Keith Fraser said the two people arrested were related to the victims.
He would not go into detail about the precise nature of the relationship but said detectives were treating the shooting as an isolated incident.
He said: "I can confirm that the people arrested are connected to the victims, I can confirm that they are related."
Mr Fraser said the arrests were made "in the locality" and within an hour of emergency services arriving at the scene.
He added: "I don't underestimate the impact that this could have, and will have, on the local community."

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Bernard Hill, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Miranda Otto, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler
Directed by Peter Jackson
PG-13 179 minutes
We pick up from the first film in Mr. Jackson's three-part adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic. Frodo (Mr. Wood), the little hobbit entrusted with the corruptive ring, and his friend Sam (Mr. Astin) are traversing wild country on their way to Mordor, where Frodo is to dispose of the ring in the fires of Mount Doom. But can they get there from here? For all their trekking, Mordor remains a volcanic glow on an unreachable horizon.
On the trail they are attacked by a withered digital creature named Gollum (the voice of Mr. Serkis), a fellow hobbit left deformed and depraved by his desire for the ring. Gollum says he knows the way to Mordor, and Frodo warily accepts him as a guide.
While they sort out their own problems (a diet of dried biscuit isn't helping), their friends and allies Aragorn (Mr. Mortensen), the archer Legolas (Mr. Bloom) and the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) are also abroad on the treacherous plains. Like Frodo, they dodge the murderous legions of the magician Saruman (Mr. Lee), agent of the dark lord Sauron.Continue reading the main story
In addition to capturing the ring, Saruman would destroy the Rohan, a race of humans ruled by a morose king (Mr. Hill) who doesn't put much stock in his people's chances to survive the onslaught. Saruman seems to have recruited every festering-faced Uruk-hai in Middle Earth. Aragorn advocates making a stand, but the king favors retreat and evacuates women and children to a great mountain redoubt.
There men and boys brace for one last stand as armored hordes numbering in the tens of thousands storm the fortress. Archers on the ramparts aim for the neck, but nothing repels the Uruk-hai, who blow a great hole in the wall and pour through the breach. Looks bad, but luckily the defenders have a horde of their own in reserve. A third movie is to come, remember.
VIOLENCE -- Humans anguish over trust and resolve, but with genocide the aim and survival the game, the film is basically a great brawl from start to finish. Carnage is the norm, with body parts flying. While it doesn't seem entirely real, the Uruk-hai are a brutal bunch, and the fighting is extremely violent.
SEX -- None.
PROFANITY -- None.
For Which Children?
UNDER AGE 10 -- A hugely scary, overwheming film for the very young. For most parents the violence level rules it out.
AGES 10 AND UP -- The violence may still be a problem, but this is a seductive entertainment of its kind.
Star Trek: Nemesis
Patrick Stewart, Tom Hardy, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Ron Perlman
Directed by Stuart Baird
PG-13 116 minutes
Hot rodding around the planet Kolarus III in a dune buggy, Jean-Luc Picard (Mr. Stewart), captain of the Federation starship Enterprise, comes across a disembodied head buried in the sand. To his amazement the noggin looks exactly like Commander Data (Mr. Spiner), the Enterprise's android and walking operator's manual.
Picard and his crew were already uneasy in these parts. Electromagnetic emanations warrant investigation. Then word comes from headquarters to hop over to the planet Romulus, whose warlike inhabitants, no great chums of the Federation, suddenly want to negotiate a peace treaty. What's that about? Suspicions grow when the new Romulan leader, Shinzon (Mr. Hardy), turns out not to be Romulan at all, but from the neighboring planet of Remus.
Remus is as belligerent as Romulus. And there's something else. At their first meeting Shinzon hints at similarities between him and Picard. As it happens, he is a genetic replica, although younger and with some crucial character differences.
Tough breaks in childhood have left Shinzon bitter, while Picard experienced nothing to interfere with his idealism and general satisfaction with himself. So we have a nobility gap. In fact, Shinzon would destroy Earth with a blast of radiation. Ever the 60's liberal altruist, Picard encourages him to grow and straighten out his thinking. Shinzon would prefer a blood transfusion from Picard, which he needs to survive.
Gradually Picard's efforts to reform Shinzon degenerate into space battling, which is too bad but all right in a way because we get to watch a nifty head-on collision between two gigantic spacecraft.
VIOLENCE -- As huge as the cosmos and about as real. Nevertheless the film has a substantial body count, explosive destruction and some horror effects (faces melting, for example) that could be upsetting.
SEX -- A pair of married (to each other) Enterprise officers are making love when that body-transferring, mind-bending character Shinzon and associates join in the proceedings.
PROFANITY -- Mild rough talk.
For Which Children
UNDER AGE 8 -- Big, loud and intense for the little ones.
AGES 8-10 -- Many will fly on through unscathed. Parents' decision.
AGES 10 AND UP -- Fine for most viewers.
Maid in Manhattan
Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Stanley Tucci, Tyler Garcia, Bob Hoskins
Directed by Wayne Wang
PG-13 110 minutes
The last time a very big pop movie did this was 12 years ago in ''Pretty Woman.'' Here the Cinderella plucked from the lower reaches by a rich guy isn't a hooker, but a housekeeper in a Manhattan luxury hotel. The plucky, resilient Marisa Ventura (Ms. Lopez) has a little boy (Tyler Garcia). At work she stands up for herself and others of her station, and she knows enough about rich people's ways to put herself in line for a management position.
She also looks great in a guest's $5,000 outfit, which she tries on at the urging of a supportive fellow worker. Who should pop into the suite she is supposed to be cleaning at that very instant but Christopher Marshall (Mr. Fiennes), a wealthy potential United States Senate candidate, dubbed the ''playboy politico'' by a rabid press.
Marshall expounds on the environment and minority rights, but he seems most interested in his dog. (Every lovable guy has to have one.) But now there is Marisa, who he assumes is the suite's real occupant, a snobbish Sotheby's executive named Caroline (Ms. Richardson). You can imagine the misunderstandings, but Marisa stays true to her roots and values, and complications are resolved without too much complication.
VIOLENCE -- None.
SEX -- Marisa and Christopher sink from view, to be replaced by the rosy dawn. Elsewhere there are references.
PROFANITY -- Mild and infrequent.
For Which Children?
UNDER AGE 10 -- They'll like Christopher's dog, but there's no real reason to take them to this movie.
AGES 10 AND UP -- Ms. Lopez kicks in at this point. Kids will have fun.Continue reading the main story

|Last updated on 19 May 2009
Ormonde (1883-1904) was an English Thoroughbred racehorse, an unbeaten Triple Crown winner, generally considered to be one of the greatest racehorses ever.
He was a bay colt, born in 1883 at Eaton Stud in Cheshire. Ormonde's sire was the Epsom Derby winner Bend Or, while his dam, Lily Agnes, was sired by another Derby winner, Macaroni. Ormonde was a brother to Ornament who produced the outstanding Sceptre, the only racehorse to win four British Classic Races outright.[2]
Racing record
Ormonde was trained at Kingsclere by John Porter for the 1st Duke of Westminster. As a two-year-old, Ormonde did not race until the end of the season when he won the Post Stakes, the Criterion Stakes and the Dewhurst Stakes in quick succession.
At three he won firstly the 2,000 Guineas, defeating the strongly fancied and previously unbeaten Minting. He went on to beat The Bard (also previously undefeated) in the Epsom Derby and followed up by winning the St. James's Palace Stakes and the Hardwicke Stakes, both at Ascot Racecourse, and then completed the Triple Crown by winning the Doncaster St. Leger Stakes in a canter. He ended a triumphant season with wins in the Great Foal Stakes, the Champion Stakes, the Free Handicap and a walkover in a Private Sweepstakes. Throughout the season his breathing had become progressively louder until he was labelled a roarer.[1]
Despite fears that his career might be over he came out at four with an easy win in the Rous Memorial Stakes at Ascot. The very next day in the Hardwicke Stakes he was made to struggle for the first time and only beat Minting by a neck - his breathing now so loud that it was heard all over the racecourse. His final race was the Imperial Gold Cup at Newmarket.
Stud record
Ormonde went to the Duke of Westminter's stud in 1888. He was then moved to Newmarket, became sick and had reduced fertility, but he produced Orme, sire of another Triple Crown winner, Flying Fox. When he was six Ormonde was sold for ₤12,000 and exported to Argentina.[3] Sold again in 1893, by his Argentinian owner, for ₤31,250 he was sent to California where he sired 16 offspring[1] including Ormondale who sired Purchase. He died in 1904 at age 21 at Rancho Wikiup in Santa Rosa, California. His disarticulated skeleton/skull were later returned to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London. [1]
His male line survives through Ajax, Flying Fox, Orby, Orme and Teddy.[4]
Ormonde may have been the model for the fictional horse Silver Blaze in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story of the same name.

Quality growth stocks can be bought for price earnings multiples under 11, and often for 4-5 times, compared to an average 13 multiple for the S&P 500. You are already investing indirectly in the Middle Kingdom whether you realize it or not. Just take a stroll through Wal-Mart (WMT).
Jim has been publishing his widely followed China Stock Digest for six years, running a full time group of analysts out of offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Houston. Financial markets in China are still primitive, with no options or futures, short selling, international accounts, arbitrage, spotty disclosure, and tough currency restrictions. Individuals account for up to 70% of turnover, compared to only 10%-20% in the US, which can lead to higher highs and lower lows in share prices.
Jim overcomes many of these obstacles through buying US GAAP audited, Sarbanes-Oxley compliant, American listed ADR's, or Hong Kong listed 'H' shares. Although these shares correlate highly with the US equity markets, a stock picking strategy focused on undervalued names will outperform over time with reduced volatility. This eliminates the need to reach for returns by taking on inordinate risk. Jim won't touch a company unless he sees a '3-5 bagger' in it.
Recent moves by Chinese authorities to remove restraints from the renminbi, or Yuan (CYB), give investors a potential double play. Rising share prices fueled by the steroids of an appreciating currency can create a 'J' curve effect for profits, much like I saw in Japan during the eighties.
Trippon blithely dismisses claims by naysayers, like Jim Chanos of Kynikos Associates, that a real estate induced crash in China is imminent (click here for my piece). Buyers in the mainland cities are required to put down deposits of 30-40% which they are unlikely to walk away from. This enabled the Mandarins in Beijing to spend their $500 billion reflationary budget last year on infrastructure instead of bank bailouts. If only they'd thought of that in the US! A GDP growth rate of 9% last year compared to an American economy that shrank, also tends to bail out a multitude of sins. If you need more reasons to invest in the Middle Kingdom, please read 'How China's Economy is Already Bigger than the US by clicking here.
Jim posts a model Chinese portfolio on his website for subscribers, and revealed a few of his favorite names. China Mobile (CHL) has a domestic monopoly, with more cell phone customers than the entire US population, and is still clocking impressive growth. Huge swaths of the country are leapfrogging land lines and going straight to mobile. PetroChina (PTR) will make a killing from the upwardly mobile, exponentially growing car market. China Medical Technologies (CMED) and Mindray Medical International (MR) will benefit from the extension of health services into the country's rural hinterlands.
Trippon admits to being an out of the closet scripophilist, and includes in his collection share certificates for the Titanic and the original Standard Oil Trust and bonds from the Revolutionary War. I confessed my own orientation in this direction, and admitted my holdings of shares in the Trans Siberian Railway, bonds for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, and a collection of Japanese wartime occupation currency from throughout Asia.
Jim started out his career as a CPA with Price Waterhouse, advising the pension programs of companies like Exxon and Shell Oil. He then struck out on his own to found one of the most widely read investment newsletter families in the US. They include the ETF Profit Report, the Dividend Genius, and the top rated China Stock Digest. Jim has published two books, Stay Rich Forever: Retirement Planning Secrets of Millionaires and How They Can Work for You, and Becoming Your Own China Stock Guru: The Ultimate Investor's Guide to Profiting From China's Economic Boom.

Demand to grow 5.5% per annum through 2016
Demand for motorcycles in China is projected to increase 5.5 percent per annum through 2016 to 57.7 million units. Gas motorcycles and electric motorcycles, while collectively referred to as "motorcycles," tend to appeal to different types of consumers and different factors affect growth. Sales of electric motorcycles will be fueled by an expanding urban population, combined with rising income levels, and will account for 60 percent of total motorcycle demand by 2016. Gasoline motorcycles are also projected to exhibit healthy advances, particularly in rural areas, as demand is driven by their relatively low cost compared to alternative forms of transportation. Automobiles will pose the greatest competition to the motorcycle market in China as growing income levels have increased the number of consumers able to afford them.
Electric motorcycles to rise faster than gasoline types
Sales of electric motorcycles are forecast to grow 6.4 percent per annum through 2016 to 35.3 million units. Demand will slow from the torrid growth rate recorded over the 2001-2011 period as the stock of electric motorcycles increases, but sales will still be strong, boosted by ongoing urbanization and rising income levels. Sprawling urban development across China and insufficient public transportation networks continue to create the need for low-cost personal transportation, and electric motorcycles serve that market. The typically higher cost of gas motorcycles and the restrictions on their use in cities make electric motorcycles a more practical and popular choice among the urban populace. http://www.bharatbook.com/automobiles-market-research-reports/motorcycles-in-china-to-2016.html
However, higher demand for light motor vehicles will continue to impact electric motorcycle sales, as higher income levels have made acquiring a private vehicle a reality for many in China. Electric mopeds will be the most popular model because of their blend of attributes -- e.g., they are faster than electric bicycles but less expensive than scooters. There is little regulation over the use of electric motorcycles. If government efforts to regulate ownership are successful, it could have an adverse impact on electric motorcycle sales. In fact, drivers are not even required to be licensed.
Foamed plastics to remain leading material by value
The gas motorcycle segment is projected to grow 4.2 percent per year, reaching 22.4 million units in 2016. The majority of demand will come from the rural and semi-rural market. Their sturdy design and ability to travel greater distances -- often over poor quality roads -- make gas motorcycles more practical than electric motorcycles in these areas. In addition, the low levels of public transportation available outside of urban areas make motorcycles an essential form of transportation for people unable to afford automobiles. Increasing income levels among rural residents will continue to drive sales. However, the numerous restrictions and bans on gas motorcycles in cities will prevent faster gains in urban areas, while gas motorcycles face competition from low-speed vehicles in rural areas, which are equally rugged but have a greater carrying capacity.
Medium displacement motorcycles will continue to be the largest gas motorcycle type and post the fastest growth through 2016. Medium motorcycles serve the greatest number of consumers due to their balance of power and cost. Demand for heavy motorcycles is projected to increase as income levels rise and the recreational market continues to develop. However, restrictions on large displacement motorcycles and city bans will prevent heavy motorcycle sales from expanding at a faster rate.
Study coverage
Details on these and other findings are contained in Motorcycles in China, a 245-page industry study from Freedonia's Beijing office that is priced at $5400. It offers historical demand data (2001, 2006 and 2011) plus forecasts (2016 and 2021) for demand by product, market and region in China. The study also assesses market environment factors, evaluates company market share, and profiles 40 competitors in the Chinese motorcycle

But DetachManager still flush dirty object and assume detached objects are in clean state. When the "new" object is merged back and transaction commit, because the object state lost its original state PNEW, it will not be added to insert list and not flushed to DB. According to the EntityManager.clear() API, changes made to entities that have not been flushed to the database will not be persisted. When they merges back to persistent context, they all should kept there original state. I added the following test to org.apache.openjpa.persistence.simple.TestEntityManagerClear. public void testClearMerge() { // Create EntityManager and Start a transaction (1) begin(); // Insert a new object then clear persistent context AllFieldTypes testObject1 = new AllFieldTypes(); testObject1.setStringField("my test object1"); persist(testObject1); //Object1 is not flushed to DB but only detached by clear(). em.clear(); em.merge(testObject1); //expect the PCState is same as before detached, //so it is PNew instead of PCLEAN and is add to insert list. commit(); //Start a new transaction begin(); // Attempt retrieve of Object1 from previous PC (should exist) assertEquals(1, query("select x from AllFieldTypes x " + "where x.stringField = 'my test object1'"). getResultList().size()); // Rollback the transaction and close everything rollback(); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

|[PATCH] add support to <junit> for popping up the JUnit GUI
|Sat, 14 Jun 2003 11:29:34 GMT
Hi, This is a patch for the <junit> task, that adds an option to use the traditional JUnit GUI instead of Ant's built-in text/xml/html/etc. formatters. You know, this kind of thing: http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/IMG00001.GIF This is a scratch I've always wanted to itch. The text/html/etc. <junit> output formats are great in continuous-integration situations, but when doing a code/compile/test cycle, I think the "immediate" feedback of the GUI is preferable. You have to love the green-bar :D This patch adds a uimode="true" attribute to <junit> (see the preliminary doco below). I have tested this patch with JDK1.2.2 on Win2k, with JUnit 3.8.1 and 3.0 Patch Contents ============== (see attached patch.txt and patch.tar.gz, created using patch.xml) NOTES: - I've used "@since Ant 1.6FIXME", not sure what the correct value should be Modified files: o JUnitTask.java - added UI mode functionality - "extract method" refactor in executeAsForked() creating executeAsForkedCommon(), so that the setup performed on "cmd" could be reused - Removed some deprecated warnings by using appropriate JDK1.2 methods (this is okay now, right?) - misc whitespace cleaning o JUnitTestRunner.java - an "extract method" refactor so that logic can be re-used - fix illegal javadoc o BaseTest.java o JUnitTest.java o BatchTest.java - move shouldRun() from JUnitTest to superclass BaseTest - added abstract method getTestNames() to BaseTest and implemented in subclasses Added File: o BatchSuite.java - A JUnit test that initializes its suite from a file Preliminary Doco ================ (if the patch is accepted I'll submit a follow-up patch to junit.html) --START DOCS-- Note: UI Mode ------------- When UI mode is activated (using the "uimode" attribute), any associated <formatter> tags are ignored, and one of JUnit's own GUI viewers is used instead. When in UI mode, the following options are ignored: printsummary, fork, halton*, errorproperty, failureproperty, filtertrace, timeout, showoutput, todir, and outfile. All tests will be run in forked mode, irrespective of the value of "fork". If more than one test is run at once (eg, as in a <batchtest> or multiple <test>s) then "includeAntRuntime" will be force to be "true". The <uiarg> nested element can be used when UI mode is active (otherwise it is ignored by <junit>). uimode When set, UI mode is activated as described above. Valid values include "swing", "awt" or the fully-qualified classname of a JUnit "runner". When "true", "yes" or "on", then "swing" is used. (In versions of JUnit that don't have the "swing" viewer, then "swing" and "awt" mean the same thing) If "false" or not set (the default), then UI mode is not active. <uiarg> Adds arguments to the of the JUnit's commandline. <uiarg> allows all attributes described in Command-line Arguments. This is useful, for example, to pass "-noloading" to JUnit: <junit uimode="yes"> <uiarg value="-noloading"/> ... </junit> --END DOCS-- Thanks, =Matt

its soo sad though.i dont know whther its a system glitch or its deliberate.i never stayed there but he accepted my booking around 12.00am the next day after i went there and he personally told me that there was no room available.i had to go find somewhere else. such a pity though.still waiting for my money back and the cancellation
It was really nice! The room was completely clean and all the things were better than my expectation! A little problem was that it was hard to find the location as a foreigner. If there is a more specific map or clear explanation, it would be perfect place in Istanbul! :)
Je hebt helemaal je eigen plek in deze studio. Eigen douche en toilet. Bed is vrij hard.

Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
Nice room, comfortable and clean enough, close to the centre of Beyoglu life. Kivanc is a very good owner, gentle, willing and helpful. The apartment is exactly as you can see in profile pictures. the room is hot, except bathroom that is a bit cold because of it has no heater inside.
I had a great time in this clean, and very nice studio! I can only recommend it!!!
Quiet and pleasant place closer center.
Kivanc was friendly and helped us by receiving late in the night.
Well we found Kivancs appartment house almost in the last minute but it has been a great choice. We have been very satisfied with the extraordinary warm welcoming of his genitor, Mirac Bayrektar who even showed us around in Beyoglu and directed us to the best pubs & locations there. It was all in all the very best part for me and my best friend during our roadtrip. We would totally recommend Kivanc and his facility - it was a pleasure to stay with you. The appartment was extremely clean and nicely decorated. Thank you and Mirac!
Nettes kleines Appartement mit zentraler und dennoch recht ruhiger Lage. Die Ansprechpartner waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Würden wir wieder machen!
Studio très joli qui comporte tout ce dont nous avons besoin ! Situé tout proche de rues animées (bars, restaurants,..) et de station de metro. Kivanc nous a très bien accueilli, je conseille très fortement !
Seul bémol : parfois, une odeur désagréable dans la salle de bain.
- Qualità degli alloggi garantita

history 8 of History's Greatest Gluttons f p @
As suggested by being one of the seven deadly sins, gluttony has led to the death of more than a few of history's greatest gluttons, many of whom have reached in excess of 1,000 pounds at one time in their lives. Sadly, despite obesity being a leading cause of preventable death in the world, many still strive to become the ultimate glutton with competitive eating contests growing in popularity and people making nearly six figures annually by allowing fans to watch them eat.
Who are the most famous fat people in history? Many have been named the heaviest person in the world at one time or another, including one woman who reached a whopping 1,600 pounds. Even celebrities made it on to this list, such as Elvis Presley who was rumored to consume 65,000 calories per day. Gluttony, it's what's for dinner.
Elvis Presley
According to authors Matthew and Mark Jacob in their book What the Great Ate, the greatest glutton of all time is none other than legendary singer Elvis Presley. Though the book also debunked some myths about The King, such as he ate nearly 65,000 calories per day, it concluded that Presley did consume around 10,000 calories per day, including from his notable peanut butter, jelly, and bacon sandwiches.

Jon Brower Minnoch
Needing a total of 13 people to help him roll over, Jon Brower Minnoch, of Washington state, weighed an estimated 1,400 pounds at his peak. Minnoch attempted to lose weight several times, even reaching 476 pounds in 1981, but he was also able to gain it all right back, including gaining 200 pounds in seven days at one time. Like other great gluttons, his weight led to his death in 1983, at the age of 41.

Peaking at 1,199 pounds, Rosalie Bradford is not only one of the greatest gluttons, but also a world record holder for the most weight lost by a woman during her lifetime.
