Chapter One-Black Eyes
"Certain darkness is needed to see the stars."- Unknown.
Thirteen years later.
Yekaterina woke with a start. She hadn't dreamed about that night in ten years, not since the night terrors had stopped. She shivered and looked over at the bed that Nadia occupied. Her twin was still sound asleep.
Sometimes she envied her sister. Nadia had forgotten. She had shut it out of her memory, but Kat had not forgotten. It was her job to remember. Their father had taught her that. His training was all she had left of him and of the rest of her family. Nadia had chosen bliss in forgetfulness. Sometimes Kat resented the way she had just forgotten. She shook her head. It was three in the morning and she knew she wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon.
She hopped into the shower to rinse off the dream. The hot water felt like ecstasy after the cold sweat of the night terror. But why had that dream; that memory come back? She was not a girl who believed in coincidence. Everything happened for a reason.
Yekatarina got out of the shower and threw on a pair of black jeans, a belt that concealed her daggers; and a form fitting black tank top. She pulled her hair up into a functional ponytail. Then, with one last glance over at Nadia to make sure she was sleeping soundly, she stepped out of the window and out onto the roof. Kat climbed down the orphanage trellis and landed silently on her feet. After a look around to be sure she hadn't been seen, she walked away from the orphanage that had been her home for the past thirteen years. It wouldn't be her home much longer.
Kat would soon be on her own. Nadia was leaving. She had a fiancé and was going to America to live with him. Yekaterina would miss her sister, but ultimately she supported anything that would make her twin happy and safe.
The orphanage would release them soon. She already had a small home she had bought with money inherited from her parent's estate. What she had spent had been a mere pittance. Kat's life was the hunt. She didn't need a fancy home, she needed a practical one.
Tonight, she had to observe. Kat did this often. She had developed a sort of fact gathering tradition where she would walk to the local bars and clubs, and watch the people. Some of her best leads had been garnered this way.
After her parents and sisters had been murdered the vampires had disappeared. Local legend stated that a vampire that was even more powerful wiped them all out. The superstitious villagers hadn't come out of hiding for weeks. The Carpathian Mountains were not a safe place to live, even without the threat of vampires. At any rate, the town buzz had not changed. There had been rumors that an incredibly powerful Vampire had taken up residence in the old abandoned castle a few miles from the town.
That was when everyone had started to panic. The rumor mill had started to turn. Reports of babies being drained of blood, young women disappearing, statues crying blood, began to abound. Most of these Kat found utterly ridiculous, but every once in a while, one with merit would find its way to her ears. She had killed many vampires in the past thirteen years. It was suicide now, for a vampire to take up residence in her town. They usually didn't last more than a week. But with this one, she had a feeling she would have to be extra cautious. He was powerful. In fact, his power emanated from the old castle. She could feel it from here and she had never faced such a powerful vampire before. Kat smirked. It would be quite a challenge.
Finally, a vampire that would be hard to eliminate. She walked into the small pub. The villagers mostly avoided her. They didn't want a vampire to see them around her, not to mention the fact that she wasn't exactly approachable. Due to the way she lived she had to maintain an unapproachable demeanor. Kat rarely smiled and never laughed. She knew he had to keep it 'strictly business'.
"Evening' miss" Kat nodded coolly. The bartender was pretty and blonde tonight. The usual barkeeper's daughter.
"I will have Absinthe." She nodded and went about preparing the drink. Kat studied her closely. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. She was wearing black, and her hair was slack and unkempt. The villagers in the pub were quiet and kept shooting meaningful glances in her direction. When she came back with her drink kat put her hand over the bartenders. "Anna, where is your father?" The bartender sniffled, suddenly tearing up.
"The vampire killed him miss. We found him this morning." Kat raised an eyebrow. Normally vampires didn't leave any trace of their victims. They disposed of their prey.
"You found him?"
She nodded. "He had no blood left." She sniffled.
"When did you find him?'
She sighed. "In the afternoon." That got her attention.
"Were there puncture marks?'
"Yes." It was horrible." She looked like she was going to faint. Kat nodded and let her go. She needed to think so she walked over to a dark, secluded corner and sat down. She downed her absinthe almost as an afterthought. A vampire powerful enough to come out in the noonday sun? She had never heard of that happening ever. Unless it hadn't been a Vampire. It was possible. Kat had disposed of some pretty sick humans as well as her usual racket of vampires. It was amazing what people were capable of. But, if it had been a human murderer and not a vampire, how had the person managed to exsanguinate the victim? It was complicated. None of the signs went along with a vampire's m.o, but nor did it seem to fit a serial killer's pattern. It was a singular thing. Perhaps it had been an animal looking for food.
Kat sighed and listened to the chatter. It was mostly the normal things. None of it really caught her attention. It was meaningless chatter, nothing but a buzz in her ears.
"They lead such small lives no?" She jumped slightly. No one had managed to sneak up on her, not ever. She looked around. The voice had been cultured and deep. It also carried a tone she recognized, like she'd heard it before. Kat didn't see anyone. It must be a vampire then, and judging by how cold it had become, it was the new one. She made her face a mask. She was not ready to face him. She didn't know enough about how powerful he was and she had vowed to kill any vampire she saw, with the exception of the one who had aided them when their family had been killed.
Kat felt his presence behind her and she whirled around, standing up in one fluid motion; and found herself looking into a pair of black eyes that she had committed to memory thirteen years ago. So it was him. The new vampire in town was one that she had vowed before God not to kill.
Kat took her hands away from her weapons.
"You." She said rather simply. He showed no expression, simply studying her for a moment.
"We have met?"
"Quite. You escorted my sister and I to an orphanage thirteen years ago."
"I remember you. You have grown."
"Leave. I cannot kill you." With that she walked away and out of the pub. Kat was not a fool by any stretch of the imagination. She knew he followed her, but she simply could not kill him. He had aided Nadia and Kat when there had been virtually no hope. Sighing, she turned to face him, looking once again into those jet black eyes. They were so ancient. It was something that she had failed to notice that terrible night. They were ancient, powerful and utterly alone.
Kat shook her head slightly. Rule number one of vampire hunting was never look into their eyes. They could hypnotize you.
"You would dare speak to me in such a fashion? Me?" He seemed to be musing over this possibility, and as she sensed that he wasn't going to try anything funny, she allowed her hands to drop from her daggers. He noticed. "It is you. You are the notorious slayer."
"Would you have expected anything else from me?"
"Truly? I expected you to forget. You were very young. But then, you were not a normal child. Your sister has forgotten I assume?"
"Perhaps." She answered quietly. This was highly unusual, and normally by now she would have run off and disappeared. But there was something about him. Perhaps it was because he seemed so utterly alone, maybe it was because she was so utterly alone, or maybe the Absinthe had impaired her judgment, but there she stood, talking more or less civilly to a Vampire. Talk about a small world.
"You have not attacked me mortal. Why?" She shrugged, deciding to be honest.
"I do not know. Why have you not attacked me?" He simply stared at her.
"What is it about you mortal? You are not normal. You show no fear of me. Humans instinctively fear my kind. Yet there you stand."
"Well, this isn't exactly normal for me either, considering that most vampires would be considering me as their lunch right now."
"Do you wish for me to attack you?"
"Not particularly. I do not know enough about you to defeat you yet. You are more powerful than the average blood sucker." He blinked and the corner of his mouth twitched up slightly.
"Quite. I am not a normal... Blood sucker, as you so eloquently put it."
"Mmm, I was aware. Why have you come here?"
"I have decided to stay here. It is time I took up a residence. Perhaps a bride." Kat smiled to herself. It was the Vampiric equivalent to settling down.
"I see. Stay away from my humans. I do not wish to kill you, but I will if you force my hand." He raised an eyebrow.
"Your humans? Don't you mean your fellow humans?" Kat shrugged.
"They want my protection, that makes them mine."
"Do you have any idea how like a vampire you yourself sound little mortal?"
"Very similar I would imagine." That was when she heard a growl. Kat had her daggers out, her senses flaring in a matter of a millisecond. It was a vampire. He was of medium power and at minimum strength. He had not yet fed. An easy kill.
Her conversation companion had disappeared on her. Kat rolled her eyes and made ready for battle. Wasn't that just like a man? A little simple and slightly infuriating conversation, and then they ran off just when you would miss them. Miss them? Kat shook her head. She was really losing it, thinking of a vampire as anything but prey. They were to be thought of as nothing but leeches to be killed and exterminated.
Her mind back in focus, she waited until it came into her line of vision, just barely having transformed into a shapely handsome man. You see, no vampire who had passed their two hundredth year was able to hold onto their human form anymore. What form they changed into depended upon how truly demented they were, how powerful they were, and sometimes it just matched their personality. This vampire had chosen to disguise himself as a tallish middle-aged man with a somewhat boyish face, and blonde, curly hair.
Kat hid her weapons just so and altered her body language to that of someone who was lost. She started in mock surprise and whirled around when she saw him, allowing him to think that she had not known that he was there. She allowed relief to flood her face and tried to look as innocent as she could; which was something that kat had somehow managed to perfect.
"Oh! Hello sir! You wouldn't happen to know the way to the pub would you?" He grinned, sure and smooth, injecting a fair bit of glamour into it. Inwardly she smiled, outwardly she was all the swooning young maiden in distress.
"But of course young lady. Come and I shall lead you there." He held out his arm and smiled gently, unable to hide the slight glint of fang as he did so. Kat smiled innocently.
"Oh thank you sir! I was so lost. I'm only visiting here and I'm not used to this place. I'm more used to the big cities." She injected a little breathlessness into her voice, making him think that she was attracted to him. He smelled of flowers. Kat smiled sweetly, knowing that it was nothing more than a clever illusion he put on. He was leading her down a street that was nowhere near the pub she had asked him about. Suddenly, she stopped walking and injected the slightest bit of fear and uncertainty into her face and voice.
"A-are you certain that this is the way?"
"Darling, in a few minutes it will not matter." His voice was silky and sweet but he did not manage to conceal the hunger in it. Playing the part of helpless victim to absolute perfection she put her hand to her throat defensively and took a few steps back. Just as Kat expected him to, he lunged, his true nature finally showing through. His form was slimy and completely bestial. The smell coming off of him was so foul she nearly gagged. She fought back her utter revulsion and twirled her daggers, slashing him deeply across the throat and plunging the other deep into his heart. He stopped in mid air, and his cat- like eyes widened. Then he howled.
"SLAYER!" And with that Kat twisted the dagger and wrenched it out. He was dust before he even hit the ground. Kat dusted herself off and stood up, cleaned her weapons of their gore on a spare piece of cloth and threw the soiled rag to the ground. "That was impressive little human."
"You said it yourself vampire, I am not a normal human."
"No, you are not. You seem to have a decent amount of renown. The town vampires have been complaining." Kat smirked.
"What, been hanging out at the vampire club?" She asked mockingly. He nodded. "You are the subject of heated discussion." Kat never laughed but this time she had to.
"A vampire club? Wait, there's actually a vampire club?" He seemed to be slightly stunned.
"Indeed. You find this amusing?'
"Well, yes, I was being ironic. I didn't actually know there was one. But thanks for the tip." Kat shot him a predatory grin. He growled at her.
"You will not attempt to destroy the club."
"And why not?"
"Because I told you not to human." Kat glared at him. Nobody told her what to do.
"Listen, whatever your name is. I have a job to do. Slaying is what I was trained to do. This is my town and I have been protecting it since I was ten, when I made my first kill. The only reason you are not dead right now is because of the fact that you aided my sister and I in our time of peril. I thank you for that, however if you ever attempt to get in my way, be warned that I will dispose of you without guilt or regret, no matter how powerful you may be." He wrapped his hand around her throat, lifting her up with minimal effort.
"Do not push me too far human, you live only by virtue of the fact that you intrigue me. I have killed more powerful than you for far less." Kat glared and kicked him as hard as she could in the stomach, which was no small amount of force, but he didn't even flinch. His eyes did darken however and she thought I could see the faint outline of dark wings behind him. It was then that she realized just how powerful he was. His true form had wings? That was extremely rare and only happened to the most powerful of the vampires. But Kat had caused him some pain, or else she would not have caught that glimpse. Kat kicked him again in between his legs this time. Now that one worked. He growled, his fangs lengthening to wicked points that glinted in the moonlight. His grip loosened enough that she wriggled out of it.
Kat was on her feet, daggers raised and in a fighter's crouch in a matter of seconds.
"Woman for that you will pay." His voice was a silky menace that sent shivers down her spine and made her want to run for the nearest sunlit meadow.
"Not without a fight vampire." He blinked and was suddenly gone. She felt him behind her and went down into a handstand kicking him in the face hard enough to break a human's jaw. It only sent him reeling back a half a foot. She landed on her feet and punched him in the nose then slashed him across the chest and simply kept on attacking him and attacking him until even her not inconsiderable endurance began to wear down. That fact was punctuated by the fact that he got in a punch that sent her flying. She slammed against a wall and managed to struggle to her feet just in time to see the myriad wounds that she had inflicted on him heal themselves and his broken nose straighten itself out. He was walking forward and Kat was having a lot of trouble breathing. That could only mean that he had managed to break one or more of her ribs. From the amount of pain she was feeling she was pretty sure that it was more like two or three. Her wrist was sprained as well. Damn. One good hit was all he needed to render her incapable of killing even a simple mortal? She was screwed, but she would not die like a coward. No, Kat would go down fighting as hard as she was able. Perhaps he saw that because he sighed and helped her stand upright. Kat grimaced but refused to make any sound. She would not show weakness to this vampire. He growled and sat her against the side of the building he had thrown her against.
"Forgive me mortal. But you seem to have the ability to drive me insane." She rolled her eyes.
"You are a vampire. It isn't as if you needed a whole lot of help." He growled.
"Do you wish for me to heal you or not?" Kat blinked. Heal her?
"I didn't realize that healing was among the vampire's repertoire of powers."
"I was a Necromancer before I was turned." Kat blinked. This was some information indeed. It was valuable beyond reason because it could very well be the key to destroying him, but then again, maybe not. Necromancers were really quite powerful. They had no weaknesses that she knew about. It looked as though she would have to do some research in case he ever decided to try to kill her. It was then that she realized that he was watching her intently.
"Why are you telling me this? I could find a way to kill you with that information." Why was she warning him? She truly must have been losing it. Kat shook her head slightly in an attempt to clear it.
"That is true, but it would take a fair amount more than just your strength to kill me, despite the fact that your strength is considerable for so young a mortal." She made a face at him and then winced again as sickening pain washed through her. "So, do you wish me to heal you so you may get back to the hunt?" He said in a slightly playful tone. She sighed.
"That would be nice, thanks, and if I may ask, shouldn't you be trying to keep me from the hunt?" He shrugged as a dark shadowy mist spread out from his hand to cover the areas where she was wounded. It was definitely a necromantic type of power. You see, Kat was no stranger to the whole witchcraft thing. In the village where her orphanage was, there was a small hut where an old witch resided. Others of like calling would often come to her for different herbs or advice, even healing. In the orphanage they were asked by the age of fifteen to go out and procure a job. I had gone there, to the tiny little hut and asked for work. The old woman had looked her over and said that she would allow kat to aid her with the gathering of the herbs she needed for she was old and her arthritic knees were becoming unsuitable to the chore. Kat had not minded and she worked there still, in fact. Once she had come to trust her and made herself certain that Kat was not a psycho, she taught her in the ways of healing with herbs and poultices. Though she had attempted to shield Kat from most of the magi and sorcerers that sometimes came through her shop, there was one day when the old witch had been indisposed with some fever or another. Kat was tending her and watching the shop for her, and a necromancer had come through looking for some magical instrument. He had talked to her, perhaps seeing the slayer that she hid beneath the surface. But he had demonstrated some of his power for her with a small dead bird. It had appeared similar to this. Kat snapped back to reality. He was answering her question.
"I care not what you do to the town vampires. They are as nothing to me."
"I thought vampires formed societies when there were enough in one place."
"They do. They have here, but I have no desire to be part of their club. They band together for support and protection. I need neither of those things." He helped her to stand. "Besides, you have quite the reputation."
"I do?"
"You are a terror to the vampire people and you know it."
"Well I'm glad they're afraid of something. I can't have them getting all cocky."
"Indeed." Kat looked him over again and almost shivered as she realized that he was doing the same to her.
"So, what's your deal huh? I don't get it. I piss you off and you heal me? Why am I not dinner right now?"
"Would you like to be?" His voice was again filled with silky menace.
"No, I think I'll pass if it's all the same to you. I was just curious."
"Ah. I am an old vampire, an ancient. You are intriguing. That is as nectar of the gods to someone who has not been surprised in over one hundred years." Kat blinked and shook her head. Amazing. She was Alive because she had surprised him. Well thank God for her acerbic sense of humor.
"Well, that's.. er.. interesting."
"Quite. However, I must hunt now. I have not fed in a month." A month? Most vampires had to feed once every three days. He wasn't even weak. She shook her head. She knew she wouldn't be able to stop him. After all, he had saved her life twice now.
"Happy hunting then."
"Perhaps I will not hunt. Perhaps I will take." Before Kat could even blink he had her by the neck and she felt his power surrounding her, rendering her helpless. Inwardly she laughed and chided herself at the same time. She chided herself for allowing her guard to drop enough that he had been able to do this. She laughed at herself because now that his power was holding her helpless she realized that she had only seen the teeniest fraction of what he was capable of. She laughed at herself because she had thought for even one second that she would be able to kill the vampire who was feeding from her right now. Before oblivion took hold of her mind she felt him withdraw his fangs and pick her up.

Though top IM leaders like Yasin Bhatkal have been arrested, IM still poses huge terror threat, informed the IB.
Intelligence Bureau chief Asif Ibrahim said that the evidence gathered from across the border showed that Pakistan continued to sponsor terror groups active in India.
Terror outfits, which operate from Pakistan, continue to push large number of terrorists into the state of Jammu & Kashmir to project the state as troubles zone, said Ibrahim. IM is also trying to connect with terror outfits from other parts of the world.
IB has also instructed sleuths from across India to focus on cases involving IM. As part of strengethening the police force in the country, a 3-day meet of police chiefs from across the country has been organised by the IB.
Border forces
IB expressed confidence in the border forces and said they are intact. However, the chief noted that the terror network along the western border is getting stronger.
He also said although left-wing extremism in Maharasthra, Orissa etc is on decline, CPI (Maoist)'s activities in North east is still strong.
Communal tensions
Circulation of provocative videos via social media made situations worse in Muzaffarnagar, Ibrahim said. It shows how social media is misused by parties with vested interests, he said.

Damian Lillard is cold-blooded.
The Portland Trail Blazers point guard buried a 30-foot, 3-point shot with 0.4 seconds left to shock the Cavaliers, 119-116, on Tuesday before 15,689 at Quicken Loans Arena.
ôThat was a big-time shot,ö Cavs guard Dion Waiters said.
Cavs swingman Alonzo Gee was defending the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Lillard, last yearĺs Rookie of the Year. But instead of getting up tight on him, his strategy was to sag off him.
ôWe have all the confidence in the world in ĺZo,ö Waiters said.
Lillard finished with a game-high 36 points, eight rebounds and a season-high 10 assists.
ôHeĺs cold-blooded,ö Waiters said.
Lillard outplayed the 2011 Rookie of the Year, Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving, who was no slouch. He ended with 25 points and 10 assists.
The Trail Blazers (22-4 overall, 12-2 on the road) came into the game with the best overall record in the NBA, as well as the leagueĺs top road mark.
They didnĺt disappoint.
They destroyed the Cavs (9-15) on the boards, 56-44, including an 18-13 edge on the offensive glass.
ôOne thing I thought we could always count on was our ability to rebound,ö Cavs coach Mike Brown said. ôWe got our behinds kicked on the glass.ö
Power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, an early candidate for Most Valuable Player, was a beast with 26 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.
His 18-foot jumper with 4:17 to play capped an 8-0 run for the Blazers. They led, 109-101, with 4:17 to play.
But the Cavs werenĺt done. Irvingĺs three-point play with 33.8 seconds remaining narrowed the Cavsĺ deficit to 116-114.
The 6-11 Aldridge missed a 6-foot shot in the lane with 17.9 seconds left.
Irving penetrated to the basket and fed center Anderson Varejao, who scored on a layup with 7.1 seconds remaining to knot the score at 116.
Lillard, though, ended the Cavsĺ upset bid with a 3-pointer from the top of the key for the game-winner.
ôHe was 5 feet behind the 3-point line,ö Brown said. ôHe hit some tough 3s. Heĺs a very good player. Heĺs very capable of dribbling by you. You pick your poison.ö
Irvingĺs 3-point attempt was off the mark at the buzzer.
Waiters, the subject of trade rumors before the game, had 25 points and five assists.
ôIĺm playing my game,ö Waiters said. ôI donĺt feed into it.ö
Power forward Tristan Thompson added 15 points and seven rebounds for the Cavs, who had a four-game winning streak snapped at The Q.
Center Andrew Bynum finished with 13 points and nine rebounds. He didnĺt attempt a shot in the second half, as the Blazers started fronting him.
Guard Jarrett Jack added 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals.
For the Blazers, shooting guard Wesley Matthews had 19 points, while forward Nicolas Batum had 14 points and nine rebounds.
Lillardĺs eight 3-point goals were a career high, while his eight rebounds tied his career high.
ôBig-time players take big-time shots,ö Irving said of Lillard. ôHe hit one in our home. You just have to move on to the next game.
ôWe fought to the end, had a consistent effort and thatĺs all you can ask for.ö
The Cavs scored nine unanswered points to start the fourth period and take a 97-92 lead with 9:33 to play. But it didnĺt hold up.
The Cavs committed a season-low six turnovers. Their 116 points were their most in a regulation game.

It all starts with preparation and this preparation starts with good material for CAT. Given the fact that there are so many option available to students these days, it is very easy for a student to end up being confused about which material to select and which one to discard. With this in mind, some students end up making a wrong choice and suffer the consequences.

They have an excellent SIS (Student Information System) and a very well designed website with an excellent interface. They run their online modules or online material for CAT which do not form part of their regular classroom coaching.
IMS, Resonance and others – These are some more popular choices that students have with IMS being the most popular ones. Good material and nice support, they have their own online test series too which makes these options a complete package for material of CAT.
Material for Cat is also available online for students especially for working professionals…here is a list of sources that are one of the best in the industry.
Test Funda – The best source for online preparation of CAT. Hands Down!! You can give free mock CAT here, sign up for their material etc and attractive packages and discounts.
Total Gadha – Total Gadha is a good source for material for CAT. The stuff is in online format and they even sell e-books. We haven't looked into the e-books but the CBT club is good to state the least.
MbaUniverse, OnestopMBA etc are also good sources of material for CAT.
If you wish to get queries answered you can sign up on Pagalguy.com to get help of fellow puys and the likes. A jolly good forum website !!
There are some other books of individual authors which you can supplement into your CAT preparation with the most popular one being by Arun Sharma, boy does this IIM-B alumni explain well !! Exceptional material for CAT and superb stuff – Highly recommended is the quant book (that is the only one we have tested) but we were mighty impressed by this stuff.
TIME has included a Quant book too in it's material for CAT and students can buy that. We don't know how good that book is but given the reputation of that book and its description page show that it is quite promising.
These are some of the best resources on Material for CAT out there and if you know of one, please tell us, we are listening !! 🙂

Meet Anne
Thank you so much for stopping by and getting to know a bit more about me! I have been many things in my (almost) 36 years on this planet. For the past fifteen years I have been crafting my photography journey, and have had the pleasure of documenting some ecstatic moments in peoples' lives. I began my education in photography in the dark room, shooting and developing my own film. Over the years I have had the priviledge of seeing my work in print in various industry magazines and news outlets. But what I enjoy seeing most in print now are the faces of the beautiful children hanging on the walls of my clients' homes.

The blood will be tested for high prolactin levels. If this is so, next the thyroid will be tested using MRI, magnetic resonance imaging. This detects pituitary tumors and their size.
Stress is the suspected factor, as medical technology cannot determine the cause yet.

Mason City Globe-Gazette (Newspaper) - July 11, 1939, Mason City, Iowa NORTH IOWAS DAILY PAPER EDITED FOR THE HOME M THE NEWSPAPER THAT MAKES ALL NORTH 10WANS NEIGHBORS VOL XLV ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS FULL LEASED WIRES FIVE CENTS A COPY MASON CITY THt BRIGHT JPOT MASON CITY IOWA TUESDAYJULY 111939 THIS PAPER CONSISTS OF TWO SECTIONS SECTION ONE NO 234 DELAY NEUTRALITY ACT CHANGE Labor Friends Gasp at NLKBs Antics WASHINGTON Good friends of labor here are gasping at Na tional Labor Relations board antics in the General Motors strike As they see it the board has fumbled an ex cellent oppor tunity to prove its good faith to all labor the public bus iness and con gress To NLRB critics it may confirm the worst fears of Paul Mallon cro collusion that have been charged against the board Heres the story Three weeks ago before the strike started NLRB Chairman Madden wrote Congresswoman Mary Norton announcing a cor rective amendment in its pro cedure The board was reforming itself Thereafter it would allow employers to ask the board to find out which union should be dealt with This would apply said Mr Madden in representation cases where two or more bona fide labor organizations are claiming a ma jority but neither petitions the board fov an election Business cheered So did congress Company Asks Election These very same circumstances then developed in the General Mo tors strike before the cheers had died away The employer faced two unions CIO claimed the orig inal 8000 tool and diestrikers were its men AFL claimed many of its members were also out work because of the strike Neith er petitioned for an election AFL probably refrained because it ap peared to be in a minority but why CIO refrained is not ap parent There is no doubt how ever that CIO was aware that if it did not claimqrepresent a majority officially it would fur nish an excuse for NLRB to escape an election So the company stepped in and asked ar election to determine which one it should deal with At first NLRB soid the petition had not reached Washington that it would be considered in the usual routine way when it did This did not sound very prom ising 35 the usual routine of NLRB sometimes takes a year Later on the board let the press know the petition would be given special consideration that its NLRB man in Detroit was inves tigating When his report comes in a hearing will be held to con sider an election Claim Same Name The company is in a spot The two unions are not only fighting each other but both even claim the same name the United Auto Workers of America A suit over the name the office furniture and is now pending in the records courts But the most peculiar circum stance of the case is the neglect of the CIO union to claim repre sentation for the whole striking plants Officially it claims to rep resent only its own members Usually this is the last thing a union will admit Normally CIO would claim everyone and get the bargaining rights to the whole plant There would seem to be only I two possible reasons why it does jj not Either it does not have a ma il jority which is unlikely or it is working to let the NLRB avoid an election which is less unlikely Few labor authorities here think there will he an election Unof ficially boardmen here seem to ihink the company should bargain withCIO without one they i have not yet suggested what the AFL wing will try to do to the company in that event At any rate NLRB is dangling in the noose of its own reforma tion and may very well strangle itseif in the process State department apparently is not expecting any outbreak on Danzig before July 24 Its leading advisers on European affairs are taking their vacations all at once f Assistant State Secretary Berle has gone to his Massachusetts farm to

Best Regards from Minnesota,
Hallelujah, if you get the criminals off the street you will reduce crime, what a revelation.

Pretty novel idea. Blame the criminal and not the gun? Better not let the Brady Bunch hear ya...

Here's part of the problem right here... "It's not going to be willy-nilly scooping up any youngster who's making a mistake," said U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones."
They are already saying that they want to be tough on illegal guns, except if you're an 14 or 15 year old with a gun...hog wash! If you're tough enough to carry that illegal gun, then you better be prepared to do the time.
These young kids, who are not afraid to shoot their victims, now know that they'll be treated differently.
A 14 year old robbing with a gun should spend the same 'decades' in jail as the big boys.

I didn't mind it. The whole idea was that if you caught the young felon with a firearm, you'd get the Feds involved to tack on some serious jail time. Shazam, who'd have thought that locking criminals up would result in lower crime rates? It certainly will do more good than those idiotic gun buybacks.

Yeah, a simple concept.
Richmond has been the laughing stock for some time when they finally decided to get serious about ILLEGAL weapons.
It's all fine and dandy to prosecute the felons to the fullest. But I highly doubt that they will serve their full sentences, even if their will be added extra prison time for their use/possession of guns. Half of them would get paroled or cop a plea to reduce their sentence. As a result, they would be back in the streets, either starting a legit, new life or doing the same criminal stuff over again. And those who have murdered need to be put to death and should never be back out in the streets. And, locking up murderers is another extra burden on the taxpayer, unless you want to make the prisons like Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio's "Tent City" (LOL).
IMO this is a big joke.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
Read between the lines. In the first place they don't even reveal how many of the "29 Homicides" may have been justifiable, nor how many of the "victims" were criminals. Remember, it's an old stunt of the Brady kooks to count criminals killed by police and citizens as "victims".

ISLAMABAD: Top Brazilian experts on Wednesday said that Pakistan and Brazil would develop a comprehensive framework to fight hunger, ensure food security and help alleviate poverty.
"We will develope a framework for future cooperation to fight hunger. The two countries will also ink a memorandum of understanding soon for future cooperation to alleviate poverty," they said while addressing a press conference here.
An official delegation of the Brazilian experts on food security and poverty alleviation has been visiting Pakistan since November 30.
They have interacted with the Pakistani scientists at conference and high-level meetings and shared theie experiences of fighting hunger and poverty.
The delegation members included Marina Lima, Vicente Puhl, Ms. Cassia Amaral, Edgard Aparecido de Moura, Marcos Lopes and Ms. Cynthia Jones.
The experts said that they had invited relevant experts from Pakistan to visit their country and study the Brazilian strategy for zero hunger and poverty alleviation so that applicable mechanism could be developed for Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Brazilian Ambassador to Pakistan Alfredo Leoni said that the Zero Hunger and Poverty Alleviation prograame had helped about 30 million Brazilians come out of extreme poverty during the last decade.
He said that the poverty ratio in his country had been reduced from 30 to just 7 per cent and efforts were continuing to fully eliminate the poverty.
Chairman of the Pakistan Agriculture Research Council Dr Iftikhar Ahmed, in his remarks, termed the visit of the Brazilian experts very successful. The Pak-Brazil seminar and technical exchanges were just the beginning of cooperation in the particular field.
He said that the food security issue was not only related to the availability of food but its accessibility to the people also.
He said that Pakistani food security experts wanted to learn from the successful poverty alleviation programme of Brazil to help mitigate the poverty in the country.
Pakistan has been giving top priority to fighting hunger in the country and wants to follow the Brazilian Bolsa Familia (Family Income Programme), which has received worldwide attention and is being replicated in many countries due to its success, he added.
`Bolsa Familia' is a social welfare programme of the Brazilian government, part of the `Fome Zero' network of federal assistance programmes, which provides financial aid to poor Brazilian families; if they have children, families must ensure that the infants attend school and are vaccinated.
The programme attempts to both reduce short term poverty by direct cash transfers and fight long term poverty by increasing human capital among the poor through conditional cash transfers.
It also works to give free education to children, who cannot afford to go to school to show the importance of education.

Alannah: Still No Where To Go
As if accidentally handcuffing myself to the seatbelt wasn't humiliating enough, when I finally got inside Mr Lawrence's house I tripped over the step, falling straight into Randall who was walking the other way.
'You need to stop being so clumsy,' he complained as he helped me steady myself. 'You're going to kill someone some day.'
'Sorry,' I mumbled, well and truly embarrassed now.
'This is going to be good Randall,' Charlie announced, storming into the room behind me with a face like a thundercloud, 'because if it isn't you are going to be staring down the barrel of my gun very soon. Now spill.'
'We got a call a few hours ago from an untraceable number asking for five million dollars to be wired to a remote account by the end of the week. We're working on a voice decryption but so far the techies have nothing.'
'Then why the hell have you called me in?' Charlie exploded. 'We still have no leads and nothing to even suggest who the kidnapper is, so what am I goddamn meant to be doing here?'
I could see even Randall was taken aback by Charlie's violent outburst, his eyes wide and he was standing completely still.
'I thought you might have some ideas,' he tried, unsure how Charlie was going to react. But I could see the anger inside her boiling up like lava in a volcano, about to erupt, taking down everything in its path.
Then to both Randall's relief and mine, Charlie's phone rang and she answered it, walking away from us. 'This isn't over,' she mouthed menacingly at Randall.
'What's up with her?' Randall asked me. He was turning back into his normal self, completely oblivious to other people's emotions. It was a shame, I was starting to like human Randall.
'I think she's worried about Mendrick, that's all. I mean he's nearly died twice in the last few weeks, that's not exactly normal.'
'Have you forgotten where we work?' Randall asked. 'Mendrick's seems to constantly be about to be killed, Charlie always has to save him and your long term boyfriend was a criminal who tried to blow up our unit. I think I'm the most normal person here.'
I turned away from him, pretending that his plain words about Alfie didn't hurt when really they were sticking into me like knives. I needn't have bothered hiding my hurt, Randall didn't even notice.
'Right then,' Charlie said, marching back towards us, her face still stern. 'I'm leaving you two girls to it. Alannah, I'm taking your car to get Mendrick from the hospital, and when I get back I want you to have some good news, even the tiniest of leads would be helpful.' Without another word she turned around and stalked out of the room.
'What can we do then?' Randall asked me. 'We don't have anywhere to go.'
'Maybe we could question Mr Lawrence again,' I suggested.
'I'm not sure what else he can tell us.'
'Look I need to be doing something,' I suddenly shouted, making Randall step backwards. 'I'm sick and tired of feeling this useless because everyone is treating me like some sort of child who doesn't understand, asking me if I'm alright and I'm sick and tired of it!' I had no idea where those words had come from, but I couldn't stop them. 'Please Randall,' I said, my voice quieter now, almost pathetic. 'Please give me something to do.'

With Interfaith Marriages, Conflict Over Role of Rabbis
Published: July 9, 1989
(Page 2 of 2)
Rabbi Jack Stern, of the Westchester Reform Temple in Scarsdale, also takes pains to soothe the feelings of congregants whose weddings he will not officiate. Rabbi Stern said he did not feel ''authentic'' as a rabbi pronouncing the words of a Jewish ceremony - a key phrase is ''with this ring you are consecrated to me according to the tradition of Moses and Israel'' - unless both partners are Jewish.
This does not mean, he emphasized, that ''my heart doesn't ache when it is someone I have known for the person's whole life and I can't share in that sacred moment.''
Because he is aware of ''the walls of silence, hostility and alienation when rabbis don't officiate,'' Rabbi Stern said he got in touch with families when he heard of a planned intermarriage so he could meet the couple and ''get to know them.'' This ''takes away the tension,'' he said.
Asked if he tried to persuade the couple not to marry, Rabbi Stern said, ''I ask them to take a second look at some of the decisions they will have to make.'' Congregations Are Divided
Individual feelings on the issue are diverse within congregations and may even differ among clergymen in the same synagogue. At the Jewish Community Center, where Rabbi Winer's ideas are supported by the congregation, Cantor Raymond Smolover takes a different stand. On his own time, and not as a representative of the temple, Mr. Smolover - who has been with the Jewish Community Center for 40 years - officiates at interfaith weddings outside the synagogue.
''Jewish survival is not endangered by intermarriage,'' the cantor said. ''It is endangered by being Jewish in a world that is intolerant to difference. Therefore, the obligation of the Jew is primarily to work toward the creation of a world that is tolerant to differences.''
''We are one humanity,'' the cantor added. ''There are no strangers over the hill any more.'' The Reconstructionist View
The Reconstructionist movement encourages its members to question, discuss religious issues communally and participate in all aspects of Judaism. According to Ann Schaffer, the former congregation president of Bet Am Shalom, a Reconstructionist synagogue in White Plains, the rabbi is seen as ''a resource person, a teacher, a highly educated and learned person and not necessarily as an authority.''
The Bet Am Shalom congregation put an end to unofficial practice last summer by voting not to allow interfaith wedding ceremonies in its sanctuary. The vote did not reflect an opposition to interfaith marriage, Ms. Schaffer explained, but rather an opposition to ''repeating the words that imply you have accepted Judaism in the sanctity of the synagogue.''
To show its concern for interfaith couples, particularly for ''the Jewish member of the couple who does want to have a Jewish identity,'' Bet Am Shalom is organizing an outreach program, said its current president, David Fleisher.
Nevertheless, some congregants who remain affiliated with Bet Am Shalom were upset by the vote. One was Rita Leffler of Hartsdale, a long-time member whose daughter's request to be married in the synagogue brought the issue into sharp focus. Leaving a Door Open
''I wanted a door left open to a lot of these young people,'' Mrs. Leffler said recently. ''It's too easy to exclude people and then they never come back. They're lost, their children are lost, and I think this is wrong.''
A new rabbi, Lester Bronstein, will join Bet Am Shalom this month. Mr. Fleisher said that the wedding topic was ''definitely discussed'' in the interview and that Rabbi Bronstein ''understood'' and was expected to comply with the congregation's desire in the matter.
Other county temples have made the issue pivotal in hiring new rabbis. Franklin Schall, president of Temple Emanu-el in Yonkers, said half the applicants were ''screened out'' recently when they said they would not perform interfaith weddings. Rabbi Klausner of that congregation, who was ordained in 1943 and is retiring, said the newer rabbis were ''much more conservative'' than those of his generation.
Members of Temple Israel in Croton looked for a rabbi who would officiate, but in the end hired one who would not. (Rabbi Michael Robinson, who is moving to California after 29 years at the temple, does officiate, because of his ''conviction that Judaism is at its best when it's open and welcoming in the synagogue.'') Bonnie Franks, a member of the Temple Israel search committee, doesn't regard the outcome as a failure but rather as a case of persuasion. ''When we began our interview process, we were very unimpressed with a number of the rabbis we interviewed,'' Ms. Franks said. ''We found that the one or two who said they would perform intermarriages were very flexible about a lot of other things. We didn't see a lot of integrity.'' 'A More Convincing Argument'
Ms. Franks said that the committee ''began to respect the rabbis who would not intermarry,'' because they had ''a more convincing argument.'' In selecting Rabbi Martin Levy, Ms. Franks said, the committee realized ''it was not a one-issue process.''
''You're getting a whole human being,'' she observed. ''There's a chemistry involved, like falling in love.''
Falling in love is perhaps at the heart of the matter. Rabbi Klausner, who has written a book on weddings, urged a ''practical'' approach to the ''forces'' that draw Jews and non-Jews together in increasing numbers.
Most couples ''don't listen to you'' when deciding to marry, he said. ''The young people have never heard of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.''
Rabbi Korzenik combines a practical point of view with a commitment to the perpetuation of Judaism. A congregant of Bet Am Shalom with her own congregation - the Fellowship for Jewish Learning - in Stamford, Rabbi Korzenik performs interfaith wedding ceremonies regularly. Often she travels far - for instance, to New Orleans - to accommodate the needs of a family. Rabbi Sets Conditions
Unlike some clergymen, however, Rabbi Korzenik sets conditions for the couples who come to her. They must agree to ''live Jewishly'' and to raise their children as Jews. The rabbi also asks couples to attend what she called her ''basic Judaism course'' of six sessions. Conversion of the non-Jewish partner was ''an ultimate hope and goal,'' she said, though not a commitment that could be expected ''on demand.''
While some rabbis modify the basic wedding liturgy at an interfaith ceremony - in order ''not to intrude on the sensibilities or sensitivities of the non-Jew,'' according to Rabbi Robert Rothman of Community Synagogue in Rye - Rabbi Korzenik follows the tradional service.
''There is one law for the 'home born' and the stranger,'' she said, citing the Bible.
Rabbi Korzenik has published a booklet and guide called, ''It's an Intermarriage: We Want to Have a Jewish Wedding but We Can't Find a Rabbi.'' The booklet includes the history of Jewish weddings and customs as well as a traditional ceremony with explanations so that couples can have ''official'' Jewish weddings without a rabbi.
''Intermarriage is here - let's not treat it as a catastrophe,'' Rabbi Korzenik said. ''Instead of being exclusive, let's be inclusive. ''If people are interested in swimming in our little pool,'' she added, ''we should encourage and welcome them.''

I was concerned when combo lock didn't open. A quick phone call to Lovise fixed that.
It is bigger inside than it looks. we spent only 2 weeks here and had to return home for a family emergency. thankfully Lovise understood our problem. We met the man across the street, he is a nice guy into old cars.
We found our way around, pretty easily, we even found shortcuts to shopping and sight seeing.
We will come again but this time stay much, much longer.
We left supplies galore because too much to pack. Loved the screen porch, ate meals out there almost everyday. Property is fun to listen to, birds, and cats, flowers appearing. It is a great spot.
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house overlooking Lake Gertrude just a short drive from downtown Mount Dora. Our lab/husky mix loved the big fenced in front yard. We enjoyed a couple of stunning sunsets over the lake from the enclosed front porch. House is well equipped- you just need some groceries. Would recommend.
We used it as a way to see and enjoy Mount Dora and also to make a lunch and day trip to Universal to meet visiting cousins. Very easy drive from there to Universal. Had not been to Mount Dora and loved the charm of the city with its many old live oaks and lakes and hills.
The home was as described by the Owner's who were very accomodating and informative! We found the home to be comfortable and nicely located for our weekend in Mt Dora with easy access to town and beautiful views of the lake across the road.
Upon our arrival, we found this cottage to be comfortable, clean, and relaxing. For two couples, it was more than adequate with plenty of room to spare. The kitchen, baths, and bedrooms were neat and perfectly appointed with all we needed. It's proximity to Mt. Dora made it an easy trip into town by bicycle. Lovise was helpful and fair throughout the rental process and prompt in responding to e-mails. I'd be happy to rent this property again on our next visit and also recommend it to others.
What a fantastic experience. We had such a great time staying at this home, that it was difficult to pack up and go home. We already felt like We were at home in this well equipped, well located and peaceful location. Just 1 1/2 miles from Mount Dora, we were close, but not too close. We actually preffered this location as opposed to being in town. Theaccomodation were 5 star. Beautifly decorated down to the last detail. The fenced in front yard was ideal for our Dog Bella, who also felt relaxed once she saw where we were staying. The doggie treats, toys and bowls made her feel very welcome too.
If you are looking to have a restful, relaxing, very clean house to stay in, We highly recommend that you try staying at Lovise and Justin home. They are a delightful couple that made us feel very welcome with their gift basket and for sharing there beautiful home. Thank you so much, we will be back soon to create some more fun memories.
This cottage was perfect for all of our needs! The owner was beyond accommodating, supplied coffee and even baked us a cake! Cottage was spacious, clean and very cozy. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

NZD/CHF: buy target - 0.7450
- NZD/CHF rises inside C-wave
- Next buy target - 0.7450
NZD/CHF continues to rise inside the C-wave of the intermediate ABC correction (2) – which started in the middle of January – when the previous sharp intermediate impulse (1) stopped at the major support level 0.6450 (as you can see from the daily NZD/CHF chart below). This C-wave earlier started, when the price reversed up from the support zone lying between the support level 0.7200 and the 38.2% Fibonacci Correction of the previous upward impulse from February.
NZD/CHF is likely to rise further inside the active minor impulse (iii) of the aforementioned C-wave – in the direction of the next buy target 0.7450 (which resistance level last month reversed the previous A-wave).
