Toolooganvale Farm is home to Champion racemare Miss Andretti and to Golden Slipper winner Calaway Gal. We have also consigned $500k plus yearlings and broodmares to Australia's major sales. But there is more to the thoroughbred breeding industry than 'names' and trophy cabinets. It's about professionalism and commitment to detail. It's about entrusting YOUR horse to a farm that will take every possible measure to maximise potential.
Toolooganvale boasts modern infrastructure with highly functional, meticulously planned barns, a six horse walking machine, veterinary facilities, spacious paddocks (encompassed by world class fencing), foal safe yards and year round irrigation from the abundant creek which runs right through the main farm. Importantly, our paddocks and yards are NEVER overstocked, allowing priority care in terms of movement and supervision.
Toolooganvale is proud to have been entrusted with the responsibility of caring for mares like 2002 Golden Slipper heroine Calaway Gal and the 6-time Group One winner Miss Andretti, whose Exceed And Excel colt will be sold under the Toolooganvale banner at the 2011 Gold Coast Magic Millions. However, it's of vital importance to note that ALL mares on Toolooganvale are treated equal ... we're family and we treat every horse that comes through our front gates as family!

Today's blog comes from Rachel Weiss, our development colleague, who is the Assistant Director of Development for Young Leadership & Donor Relations.
Wednesday night the Young Friends Division of the Museum held a networking event for public relations and marketing professionals with Howard J. Rubenstein, a true pioneer of the PR industry. The reception and remarks were held in Rubenstein's executive offices and the night started off with a scrumptious reception for attendees where they had the opportunity to mingle with each other and Mr. Rubenstein.
A leader in his own right, Mr. Rubenstein offered the Young Friends some pearls of wisdom about how to be successful in the industry (love what you do, stay positive, and listen to advice – even if you don't take it). He described several turning points in his career and his "inside baseball" experiences with NY Yankees Owner, George Steinbrenner, who has been a client of Mr. Rubenstein for an astonishing nearly 30 years. Quite remarkable when you think about Mr. Steinbrenner's history of hiring, firing (and sometimes re-hiring) his executives and staff. Mr. Rubenstein also mentioned that forming relationships with media mogul Rupert Murdoch and former NY Governor Mario Cuomo were life- changing events that opened many doors for him. He stressed that building and maintaining relationships throughout one's life is important in any business and you never know when a relationship can turn into a business opportunity.
Particularly interesting was Rubenstein's perspective on how crisis management is of the utmost importance, and how that age-old saying "honesty is the best policy" still holds true. Rubenstein pointed to the recent debacle that Tiger Woods got himself into with numerous allegations of philandering, and his seeming lack of response and inability to "come clean". Rubenstein told attendees that he always insists on his clients telling him the truth and that no amount of "spin factor" can wash away a tarnished reputation without a bit of fessing up to the deeds done.
Our recent networking event is just one type of program that the Young Friends offer throughout the year. Fun holiday parties, educational events about our latest ground-breaking special exhibits, and more, so check it out! Next up is our Annual Purim Party on February 24th at La Pomme (37 W. 26th Street) and it's sure to be a festive night, so save the date and come celebrate with us!

I wonder why the seller/builder didn't just install a longer gas tube?
I wonder why the seller/builder didn't just install a longer gas tube?
I almost ordered one today, but, since it doesnt have front or rear sites and I like the carry handle. I figured it would be cheaper for me to buy the dpms upper they sell for 445 bucks. Now I just have to convince myself to spend the money. jim
I just received it.
The gas tube fully engages the key. The only complaint I have (not really a complaint, more of an observation) is that it is very stiff. It seems to be mostly due to the fit of the charging handle. Nothing a little polishing wont take care of.
Gotta give them props on the shipping, ordered on Friday, received on Monday.
I just ordered mine Only one left. I just couldnt pass that up. Now Ill finally have an upper to go with my stainless lower.

Home › Forums › Commerce › Gear Swap › FS: Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3 | NeoAir Sm & Rg | MSR Titan Kettle | Cuben Packcovers
Nov 18, 2011 at 6:30 pm #1282142
I've got a few goodies up for sale. All prices include normal shipping to the USA and Canada. PM me for prices for other countries. Payment via Paypal preferred (you cover fees) but I'm open to other options.
All pictures follow at the end.
1) Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3 – SOLD
I used this tent a moderate amount this summer (ie. 30 nights) and it's in good shape, although there was one small hole in the floor which I patched. Retail price is $450. I'm selling this one for $250 shipped. See end of listing for photos.
2) NeoAir's – Smal – SOLD
I've got a NeoAir small for sale. It's been used a decent amount for two seasons now (ie. some signs of use, but nothing beyond cosmetic stuff). Never had a hole. Like any large volume inflatable pad, you'll want to add another breath or two to firm it up once the air from the initial inflation has cooled off (ie. 1 hr later) and thus contracted. $70 shipped.
3) MSR Titan Kettle with Ti Windscreen – SOLD
This Titan Kettle has only been used a couple times. It's in nice shape and it includes a titanium windscreen (19g) which will work with any stove as long as the stove is fairly short. I designed this windscreen for use with a Zelph Starlyte stove (great stove, go buy one) but any short stove will work. The windscreen packs inside the pot. SOLD
4) Cuben Packcovers
I've got two cuben packcovers for sale. Both have been carried on several trips over the past 1.5 years, but only used once or twice.
SOLD – The first cover is a Zpacks pack cover (size medium) that is made of white 0.51oz cuben. This pack cover weighs 1.0oz (27.5g) plus 0.05oz (1.7g) for the sack. This cover works well with most medium sized packs like a ULA Ohm/Catalyst. It's got an adjustable cinch-cord and a webbing clip to secure it to the top of your pack. For more pics see: http://zpacks.com/accessories/pack_cover.shtml
The second pack cover is basically a MYOG clone of the Zpacks cover. I used olive drab/breen 0.74oz cuben. It's a little smaller than the Zpacks cover so despite using a bit heavier cuben it weighs pretty much the same (28.8g). This cover just fits over a fully loaded Ohm, and it's more at home on a non-loaded Ohm (ie. no extension collar) or small-medium packs like a ULA CDT, MLD Burn etc. The only difference in design between this cover and the Zpacks one is that the perimeter cinch-cord is non-adjustable (ie. no cord lock) but the pre-set amount of shockcord is a good amount, and if you really wanted to use this with a tiny pack you could easily add a cord-lock as there is a hole for one in the hem. The stuff sack is 1.5g (0.05oz).
I'm looking for $30 shipped for the Zpacks one (Sold) and $25 shipped for the MYOG one.Nov 18, 2011 at 6:40 pm #1803254

Dani hopelessly tried to hide a yawn as she pushed aside the sheets and settled into the bed. Tom's little laugh caressed her ear. "Tired?"
"A little," she admitted, as he thoughtfully threw the covers over both of them and pulled her close then. Her sea blue eyes had only just shut, when a flash of light illuminated their bedroom, and not much later the sound of thunder was audible. Dani sighed. Tom lightly laughed. He tenderly kissed her shoulder and rolled over on his back again. Their bedroom was being illuminated a few more times, and the raging sound of a thunderstorm and pouring rain continued on as they waited. They didn't get disappointed.
The door softly creaked open. "Mommy? Daddy?" As if by magic their daughter began crying as well. "I'm scared."
"I'll go," said Tom, while already getting upright. "I swear, we have spoiled them way too much," he added, easing his feet into his slippers. Their little son of four was waiting by the door opening with his chenille bear in his one hand, the other in his mouth. Tom lovingly picked him up and sat him wordlessly on the bed. He watched how his wife automatically pushed aside the covers again for him and continued toward the room of their daughter, who had in the meantime woken up because of the thunderstorm as well.
"I'm scared of thunderstorms," sounded the voice of their son as he pulled himself close to his mommy.
"That's fine, baby," Dani soothed, as she tenderly ran her hand through his hair. In appearance he was just like Tom, even though he was only four. Their daughter, who would be celebrating her third birthday next month, showed all appearance of her. In characteristics, they both appeared the perfect mix of them both – sadly enough no identical one. It happened multiple times a week – sometimes even a day – that brother and sister were almost literally in each other's hair. They could be sweet to each other, but usually they were fighting for the most ridiculous reasons.
Dani heard how the crying of their daughter discontinued, and how Tom's footsteps neared again. They were really in need of a far larger bed than their current one, Dani thought, as Tom walked into the bedroom again with their sleepy daughter on his arm and shut the door behind him. Another flash of lightning illuminated the room once again, and a particularly loud thunderbolt was hearable. Their daughter hid in her daddy's shoulder. "That's nothing," he said, "Mommy and Daddy are here." From the moment she had seen her mommy and her brother, the little girl began squirming, possibly driven by jealousy. Tom put her down on the bed carefully and watched how she crawled over to her beloved mommy and at once began pushing and pulling to steal the place of her brother. "Easy!" said Tom, as he himself got into bed again as well.
"Be careful for mommy's big belly," Dani warned, as she slowly turned herself so that both of her children had enough room.
"I swear that our little ones like you better over me."
"And why would that be…" Dani teased.
"Mommy, is my little sister awake?"
Dani chuckled. "No, baby. Your brother or sister is not awake. The little one has already done quite enough of its acrobatics today." As if to make sure the little girl put her hand on her mommy's big belly. When she effectively didn't feel anything after a few minutes, she felt entirely reassured and laid herself down again.
"Mommy, I don't want a… brother," she said in between two yawns. "If it is another brother, I won't love him."
Tom chuckled. "Then don't you love your big brother either?"
"But… yes, but…" The rest of her sentence was interrupted by her own yawning. Wordlessly, she then laid her head down again against her mommy's breast, and fell asleep as well, even though the lightning and thunder had not entirely ceased yet.
"And where am I supposed to lie now?" Tom wondered aloud. "Am I supposed to lie here all alone on my side of the bed while you three are nicely cuddled up over there?"
"I'm afraid so," said Dani and giggled.
Tom softly kissed her lips, and pulled himself close to his family… as good as was possible at least. Dani's big belly made it even more difficult than otherwise. No one would describe him as the family guy, but he would never regret those two little devils between them, nor the little one that was about to be born any moment now. "I love you."
"And I, you," said Dani, and sighed.
"What are you thinking about now?"
"We have lost years," said Dani. "I'm already over forty… and I'm going to be a mom again. I…"
"We're together now, aren't we?"
"Yes," said Dani, "Eventually."
"I would dare to bet that you would never have gotten such beautiful children otherwise," Tom teased as he tenderly caressed her cheek. "It has cost me years to find my senses, and sometimes I regret that not having happened sooner, but maybe it is better this way. Maybe we never would have gotten this far had we gotten together any sooner," reasoned Tom.
"Maybe," said Dani, as she yawned once again and fell asleep as well.
Tom sighed. "Well, that's four of five then. Now only me left."

Chapter III (Part Four) : Daphne ☷
She didn't wait to get caught. Instead, Daphne started to run against the cool wind of the night, ignoring the overwhelming anxiety that took over her. Questions, and doubts of whether she'd get taken back sprung up in her mind.
Daphne had never been caught live on escape before, and this was big to her because even if she managed to run away, they'd always be able to trace her whereabouts.
Being confined within a prison with questions that go unanswered all the time, desires left unfulfilled and the world waiting for her to be explored drove her over the edge of madness.
She ran, the soles of her feet making hard contact against the grass beneath her, soon replaced by soil as she hauled herself over the edge of the iron gate that seperated the orphanage from the forest ahead of it. She heard the voices, now more than one shout at her to get back but she was heedless to the demands of those who didn't matter to her.
Never once had she known her parents, never once had she lived anywhere besides a plain white room, with other people who questioned the world outside as much as she did. But now she had the chance to run, and she wouldn't let it go.

Disclaimer: Don't own it.
Always You
It was eerily silent, almost deafening, on the clear and breezy night. Two figures stood unmoving in the waves of green, the long strands of grass billowing and bending in the light winds. Silver threads of hair blew across one of the figure's faces, obscuring the questioning look in his golden orbs. Unsure of the other's intent, he absentmindedly grasped the hilt of his sword tightly within his hand.
One stood confused and troubled and curious and puzzled and baffled and perplexed…
One stood lost and seeking and searching and unsure and insecure and contemplating and afraid…
The autumn evening was delicately illuminated by the waning moon. The fields of grass and leaves colored gold, auburn, ginger, and russet greeted their eyes as they fell from the surrounding trees, swirling and dancing to the beckoning earth.
They stood, passively, without a single word passing between them for what could have been hours or a few minutes. Time seemed to stop as the starry skies above looked down upon the unfolding scene. The other figure shifted his stance slightly; he was uncertain as to how he should approach this delicate matter. He felt the whipping of his midnight hair in its top knot upon his head, just as he felt the confusion in the other's gaze. With a sigh, he closed his icy blue eyes and set forth to make his truest, deepest intentions known.
Taking a step forward, Kouga began his slow approach to where Inuyasha stood in a defensive posture. He observed Inuyasha stiffen at his sudden movement, obviously wondering what the wolf youkai was up to. Puzzled by his somber advancement toward him, Inuyasha was not sure if he should fight him or flee. What was Kouga up to?
However, despite his inner debate of what to do, Inuyasha remained firmly planted to the spot he stood at. And before he knew it, his rival was before him; they were face to face, their noses nearly touching. Taking a step back, Inuyasha struggled to come up with something to say…a snide remark, a criticism, a sarcastic jibe, anything.
But nothing came. Nothing but a whispered, "Kouga?"
Hesitantly, the ookami prince reached forward with his clawed hand and ever so gently, began to stroke the hanyou's pale face as it shined beautifully in the moonlight. Kouga murmured in return, "Inuyasha."
Understandably stunned, Inuyasha once again found he was unable to do anything. He surprised himself further by leaning into the soft caress. Slowly, he became aware of his eyelids fluttering shut, a barely audible sigh escaping his petal soft lips.
How had he ended up in this position?
He felt spirited and lifted and comforted and safe and wanted and…and…
So there he stood, feeling the cool, soothing hand of his supposed rival upon his cheek. At this thought, Inuyasha came back to his senses and jerked back from the enticing touch.
His expression turned to one of bewildered irritation as Inuyasha yelled at the wolf youkai. "What the fuck are you doing, Kouga?"
Kouga seemed a bit stunned from the sudden outburst, but considered it expected as he had just acted incredibly out of character for him in the hanyou's eyes. The ookami stared at the ground, suddenly entranced by the dancing waves of grass surrounding them. Inuyasha waited impatiently for a plausible explanation.
While Kouga summoned up his courage and searched for the right words, Inuyasha turned his own thoughts inward reflecting on the moment that had just transpired.
Had he actually enjoyed the wolf's touch?
Had he actually relished the warmth in the kind gesture?
Had he actually taken pleasure in his scent?
Had he actually relaxed in his rival's presence?
Had he actually felt…cared for — even for a moment?
His thoughts were interrupted by Kouga clearing his throat. The normally charismatic wolf prince found this beautiful creature before him could easily bring him to his knees with just one passing glance.
Kouga began pouring his heart out. "Inuyasha…I don't know what to say…"
With a 'keh,' Inuyasha crossed his arms and said, "Well that's a first."
The ookami gave him a lopsided grin. "Yeah, I suppose it is. But I can't just silently continue to play out this charade of mine. Day in and day out, I think about you. I dream about you…Inuyasha…there is rarely a moment you're not on my mind."
At this point, Kouga's strong frame was quaking as he released the torrent of his buried emotions.
He felt distraught and fearful and hopeful and disheartened and lost and doubtful and anxious and shaky…
Inuyasha's ears were perked up, not quite believing what they had heard. "Kouga, what are you trying to say?"
A shakiness in his voice, Kouga whispered, "Isn't obvious, you dense mutt? I…I love you…"
The hanyou still couldn't fathom the ookami was in his right state of mind. "Do you realize what you're saying? What about Kagome?"
"It's never really been about Kagome. I couldn't believe you would have feelings for that human girl. So if I couldn't have you, I wanted to make you jealous and take her away from you. Maybe then I would have a shot…"
"Are you out of your mind? Kagome thinks you love her and want her to be your mate."
"And I keep telling you, it's never been about Kagome. Our fights, this rivalry we created, it enabled me to have excuses to be close to you, to touch you, and to see you…even if was only in the heat of a fight. And let me tell you, you never look more exquisite than you do when you're fighting and angry. The passion you exude…it leaves no doubt in my mind that I need to have you beside me. Forget Kagome, Inuyasha…the one I want to be with…it's always going to be you," finished Kouga in a raspy tone.
Inuyasha stood there completely shocked from this proclamation, but it didn't end there.
Kouga repeated firmly, "I love you, Inuyasha."
From the lack of response, Kouga's strength withered away from the implied rejection found in the silence of his beloved, and he crumpled to his knees on the ground. At least he finally told him…at least he knew.
He felt heartbroken and adrift and disoriented and wretched and sorrowful and…his dreams of a golden-eyed hanyou were slipping away…
The wolf youkai felt a soft hand under his chin, lifting his gaze upward to meet golden eyes that appeared liquefied in the moonlight. Inuyasha's orbs glistened with tears as he allowed them to slide shut and placed his lips against the trembling ones of the ookami prince.
The kiss was brief, but tender, sweet, and oh so right. They parted with the delicious taste of one another on their lips.
Inuyasha kneeled on the ground with Kouga and pushed his head beneath the wolf's chin. Somewhat surprised, the wolf relaxed and pulled the lovely inu hanyou closer to him. The half demon sighed in content, overjoyed to finally find his place with someone. He turned his head upward, and he said, "I love you, too."
Kouga stared down and smiled at the wonderful treasure in his arms. "What about Kagome? You always adamantly protected her and tried to keep her away from me."
"I was worried about her; how was I supposed to know if you would be able to make her happy? Think of my feelings for her as those of an overprotective brother."
"That makes me feel better," replied Kouga as he smirked down at the inu.
Inuyasha returned the look with a smirk of his own. "Yeah and why is that?"
"Because now I can claim you as my own without worrying that someone else will steal you away from me."
And without allowing Inuyasha to get another word in, Kouga lowered the stunned hanyou to the ground as he pressed his lips firmly against his luscious mouth. His tongue swept past his lover's velvety lips and savored the delectable tastes in his warm, beckoning cavern.
The inu hanyou moaned wantonly as he undid the top knot upon the wolf demon's head and threaded his hands through raven strands. Kouga responded with a possessive growl, and his hands traveled sensuously down his heavenly hanyou's sides. Feather-light touches further excited Inuyasha's quickly heating body. A fire began to burn deep within, and Kouga's touch set him ablaze.
The heat building was overwhelming and invigorating and suffocating and restricting and addictive and intoxicating…
Their emotions mounted into chaos and frenzied need and want and touch and craze and need and want and touch and oh so good…
The feel of skin upon skin was never-ending and burning and delicious and sizzling and irresistible and scorching and enticing…
Inuyasha felt so much want and need and his touches, oh his touches…wanting more, needing more, searching for completion…
Kouga sought and drove and pulled and pushed and wanted and needed and took and gave and was close, so very close…the need to claim mounting and growing and boiling…his…just his…
A snarl of desire and a plea of want…fangs poised and blood erupts…copper taste…so good, so sweet…hypnotizing pleasure mounts and peaks are reached…
Cries and howls and screams and yells and moans and keens and groans and grunts and whimpers and growls danced and sang into the crisp night air.
Heavy pants and shallow breathing and sleep began to set in…
Beneath the watchful stars and hidden among the swells of grass while nestled in the warmth of one another, Inuyasha lay securely beneath Kouga in his arms. The inu hanyou breathed in the wonderful, alluring scent of his new mate.
Quietly, Inuyasha asked, "What just happened? It all sort of seems like a blur…"
Smiling, feeling quite pleasant and fuzzy at the moment, Kouga nuzzled his precious mate and answered, "It was our instincts, our youki, our souls intertwining as one…as we became mates, ones with shared souls."
"Well, whatever it was…wow," breathed Inuyasha, his face becoming flushed just at the thought of their mating.
Kouga chuckled. "Yes, indeed…wow. What do you think your friends will say? What about Kagome?"
With a sigh, Inuyasha replied, "It doesn't matter…I don't have to choose at all between you or them…because in the end, it will always be you."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Yes, NorthernBlues Music is based in Toronto, but it's got a soft spot for Colorado blues talent. The imprint has put out a number of Otis Taylor's finest efforts, including White African and Respect the Dead, and recently reached out to two other area bluesman: Eddie Turner, who released Rise last year, and Dan Treanor, whose collaboration with vocalist Frankie Lee, African Wind, is extremely impressive as well. O, Canada!
The action can get pretty hot and heavy when LoDo's bars let out at 2 a.m. But from the cheap seats on the sidelines, watching the crowds pour out of the clubs and pour themselves into cars and cabs -- after some last-second attempts to hook up --can be mighty entertaining. And the vehicles parading slowly past offer a non-stop urban soundtrack.
Though Stevyn Prothero's tiny Iron Feather Book & Zine Shop is in danger of losing its space in north Denver, the place's do-it-yourself attitude lives on to the bitter end. Prothero welcomes any and all wannabe zinesters to use his stuff -- Xerox, keyboard, scissors and so on -- to create their own page for the community-based Open Zine Project. Prothero knows something about what it takes to create an indie publication: His own Iron Feather Journal has been coming out sporadically for years. Open your mind and take up your pen.
Capitol Hill encompasses a wide swath of central Denver, so it's no wonder that the Capitol Hill People's Fair is the city's best, and most diverse, festival. From its humble beginnings at Morey Junior High in 1971, when 2,000 people attended, the People's Fair has exploded into Colorado's premier arts-and-crafts happening; last year, some 275,000 people attended the three-day event at Civic Center Park, soaking up live entertainment, food by the barrelful, community and family-oriented activities and the best people-watching of the year. The fest is a huge fundraiser, as well: Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods raised $45,000 for area nonprofits in 2004. Kick back, kick off your shoes, and celebrate Denver's funkiest neighborhood.
Normally, when you come across a celebrity in Aspen -- say, Kevin Costner fashioning a kayak for an In Style magazine photo shoot -- it's funny, but not ha-ha funny. For nearly one week out of every year, though, Aspen is the ha-ha-funniest place in the world. The U.S. Comedy Arts Festival is a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet of humor, from standup to sketch comedy to readings; Cheech and Chong, Conan O' Brien, Jim Carrey and Dave Eggers were among those on hand this year. And how about all those hangers-on in fur coats with VIP passes around their necks, talking on headset cell phones? Now, that's funny.
The first of its kind in the United States, The Shoot Out Boulder celebrated the art of quick and cheap movie production. Filmmakers were given 24 hours to complete a seven-minute short. Only in-camera editing was allowed -- meaning everything had to be shot in sequence -- and the footage had to incorporate specific locations or props from within the Boulder area. Several dozen crews of both novice and seasoned filmmakers participated in the quick-paced contest, resulting in an amazing variety of subjects and styles that ranged from the hilarious to the reflective. Plans for another festival are under way, which is great news: The Shoot Out is a can't-miss opportunity for area filmheads.

Merlin didn't even glanced after Brochvaelin, but focused to steel himself to open the dungeon's door. Hand on the door handle he hesitated. He realized that he was trembling all over, and he had to restrain himself to burst into hysterical laughter. He would have to be agitated later. First he had to received Arthur from Brochvael's fortress. His mind was still burn the whole place to the ground, but his heart was not allowed to leave the innocent people under the open sky. Having amassed finally himself, he pushed the door open and stepped inside. He stretched out his hand in front of him in the darkness.
Small bluish ball of light illuminated miserable cell and Merlin found bundle lying on the corner of the cell.
He received no reply, and knelt with caution touching the dirty blanket. It was obvious that someone was lying wrapped up in it.
"Arthur, it's me, Merlin. It's time to leave. "
Bundle moved and Merlin helped him turn his back.
They stared at each other in a moment at the pale light.
"Merlin?" Arthur's voice was hoarse when he squinted his friend's worried face. Merlin grinned.
"Indeed. Really, I was two weeks away from Camelot, and when I got back, I hear that you left off on a hunting trip and were captured. Hunting trip! Nobody knew where you were and who was behind it all. I was afraid that Morgana had you at this time for good. Are you okay? Broken bones? Crushed pride? Hopefully you did not get too many hits on your head this time. "
"Merlin, shut up." Arthur snarled but smiled. "No, no, nothing serious. I'm just hungry. "
"In that case, come on. Aithusa is already waiting for us. "Merlin stretched his hand to help the king up. Arthur looked at him in disbelief.
"Aithusa? You brought the oversized lizard in here? "
Merlin crossed his hands with hurt. "You would get to learn how to speak with him respectfully. Aithusa has saved your life more than once. Besides, I wanted to come quickly, and it was the only option. Gwen would skinned me otherwise. "
Arthur trembled realizing his wife was waiting for him at home.
"I skin that damn stupid Brochvael." Arthur grumbled, limping out of the cell. Merlin shrugged his shoulders.
"If you catch him."
"What do you mean?"
"He hardly stops from running a couple of days." Merlin sounded too pleased with himself and Arthur narrowed his eyes holding his friend.
"I could ask Aithusa to help." Arthur thought.
"Do not imagine. You have to go back to Camelot to clear your mess." Merlin growled. Arthur sighed. They got out of the castle courtyard without bumping into anyone. Arthur didn't bother to ask for what the Merlin was made to scare so badly the entire crew of the fortress, but was just happy. He leaned heavily Merlin. Every muscle ached, and he really didn't waited for the journey back to the Camelot on the dragon's back. Looking Merlin, he suddenly realized how tired he seemed. His travel to the north hardly had a picnic, and now this. Arthur felt the guilt injection.
"Thank you Merlin."
Merlin glanced at him and eyebrow raised questioningly, then turned quickly away.
"You are welcome. But next time ... " Merlin sounded aggrieved and Arthur suddenly divined the cause.
"I know, I know. How much Gwaine win this time?"
"Too much." Merlin muttered, and they watched the sky where a white dragon fly slowly towards them.
"You should stop beating your bets with him." Complained Arthur. Merlin's lips went a quick grin.
"What fun this would be otherwise?
Arthur decided to not say anything anymore.

THERE has been a 10 per cent drop in arrests relating to drug trafficking and misuse of drugs last year compared to 2013, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said yesterday.
In 2014 the NCB arrested 610 people – 517 men and 93 women – for drug-related offences, while 679 people were arrested in 2013.
Of this figure, 88 per cent were locals and 12 per cent were foreigners. Some 57 per cent of those arrested were unemployed, 40 per cent had jobs and the remainder were students. With regard to age, 55 per cent of the arrested were individuals above the age of 31.
NCB shared that throughout 2014, they succeeded in confiscating nine kilogrammes of Marijuana and four kilogrammes of Methamphetamine, also known as Syabu. A small amount of synthetic drugs were also seized.
Despite this decline, anti-drug efforts continue to intensify to ensure that the problem is controlled. Integrated efforts against drugs have succeeded in maintaining the Sultanate's image as a nation that does not produces drugs. Statistics last year showed that 153 arrests were made for every 100,000 people.
One of the trends of trafficking of drugs at present is to make a third country as a gateway and many countries have experienced this including Brunei Darussalam. With such a worrying trend, the NCB continues to strengthen control at the country's entry points.
This initiative has managed to offset attempts to make the Sultanate a gateway for drug traffickers. Over the past two years, arrests at control posts including the Brunei International Airport and Serasa Ferry Terminal have shown an increase compared with previous years.
Actions taken by the NCB are in line with international convention guidelines and regional organisations covering various aspects of drug prevention, education, treatment and rehabilitation.
Towards making the country drug-free, NCB welcomed integrated cooperation from the public for providing information and expressed its appreciation to those who assisted the bureau.
The public can continue to contact 2448877 during office hours and the 8777444 hotline after working hours to report suspicious activities.

After a 35-year interlude, Kate Bush wows fans with comeback gig
By Paul Sandle
LONDON (Reuters) - Kate Bush mixed note-perfect renditions of her biggest hits with two visually stunning interpretations of her longer conceptual works on Tuesday to delight fans who had waited 35 years for the British singer and songwriter to return to the stage.
Receiving a standing ovation before she had sung a note, Bush opened with "Lily" from her 1993 release "The Red Shoes", followed by "Hounds of Love" from the double-platinum selling album of the same name.
She singled out her teenage son Bertie, who sang and acted in the show, for giving her the confidence to perform. "The adventure's only just begun," she told him onstage.
For the 22 shows dubbed "Before the Dawn," Bush has returned to London's Hammersmith Apollo, a venue in her only previous tour in 1979, a year after she went to No.1 with the self-penned "Wuthering Heights."
That song, based on the Emily Bronte novel, stood out in a pop scene filled with disco and punk, and the 19-year-old Bush's high-pitched voice and expressive dancing only added to her uniqueness.
Bush has released nine studio albums, two of which topped the charts. Her singles collection "The Whole Story" also went to No.1.
But she has largely stayed out of the public eye, giving few interviews and leaving long gaps between releases.
In the process she has become one of the most celebrated of Britain's anti-celebrities, generating a devoted following from fans who were ecstatic when she announced the shows in March. Continued...

Professor Mark Godsey Appointed to State-wide Task Force Examining Grand Jury System
Professor Mark Godsey, director of the Ohio Innocence Project at the College of Law, has been appointed to a state-wide task force charged with recommending way to improve how grand juries function.
Cincinnati, OH – Professor Mark Godsey, director of the Ohio Innocence Project at the College of Law, has been appointed to a state-wide task force charged with recommending ways to improve how grand juries function.
Supreme Court of Ohio Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor announced on January 28, 2016 the formation of the Task Force to Examine Improvements to the Ohio Grand Jury System.
The concept of a grand jury has been part of the federal system since 1791 and a constant in the Ohio Constitution's Bill of Rights as far back as 1802. Every state constitutional revision since has preserved the protection of the grand jury.
"To be clear, this task force is being asked to recommend ways to improve the functioning of grand juries and to see what additional steps can be taken to improve the public's confidence in our justice system," Chief Justice O'Connor said in a media release about the task force. "It is not being asked to determine whether the grand jury system should be eliminated."
The task force will be chaired by Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Stephen L. McIntosh. It includes a diverse group of 18 professionals who are judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law professors, legislators, members of law enforcement, and community leaders.
The task force will hold its first meeting on Feb. 17, 2016 from 6-8 p.m. at the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center, 65 S. Front St., Columbus. The meeting is open to the public, but seating is limited. The task force has been asked to submit its final report and recommendations by June 15, 2016.
Task force members include:
- Judge Stephen L. McIntosh – Franklin County Common Pleas Court (chair)
- Prosecutor Daniel R. Lutz – Wayne County (vice chair)
- Sen. Kevin Bacon – District 3 • Sen. Edna Brown – District 11
- Judge Joyce A. Campbell – Fairfield Municipal Court
- Rep. Robert R. Cupp – District 4
- Judge Michelle D. Earley – Cleveland Municipal Court
- Judge William R. Finnegan – Marion County Common Pleas Court

Looking at Health through the Human Rights Lens; Lecture Examines the Connection
Lecturer and Professor Alicia Ely Yamin, Harvard University, will discuss the power and potential of applying a human rights perspective to health and health-related issues at a lecture on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016 at the College of Law. The event begins at 5:00 p.m. in Room 204; it is free and open to the public.
See photos from the event: Yamin Book Launch
Cincinnati, OH—"Patterns of health and ill-health are not just a result of biological or behavioral-factors, but they are also the results of … injustices," said Professor Alicia Ely Yamin at a recent TEDxUConn talk describing the transformative power of applying human rights to health. Professor Yamin will share her thoughts on its potential for social transformation when she visits the College of Law on Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. She will discuss her recently published book "Power, Suffering, and the Struggle for Dignity: Human Rights Frameworks for Health and Why They Matter." Her book is part of Professor Bert Lockwood's Human Rights Series at the University of Pennsylvania Press. Professor Lockwood, Distinguished Service Professor of Law, is the Director of the Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights.
A Preview: Power, Suffering and the Struggle for Dignity
In Yamin's book she examines human rights-based approaches to health and why it matters. She suggests that applying a human rights framework to health forces us to think about our own suffering and that of others, as well as fundamental causes of that suffering. She combines theory with personal examples of human rights-based approaches and shows the impact they have had on people's lives and health outcomes.
About Professor Alicia Ely Yamin
Alicia Ely Yamin, JD, MPH is a Lecturer on Law and Global Health, Director of the JD/MPH program at the Harvard T.H.

Todd Wurzbacher Fulfills 25-Year Dream as First Year Law Student
For first-year law student Todd Wurzbacher, going to law school had been a dream of his for nearly 25 years.
Wurzbacher grew up in Cincinnati and attended Thomas More College before embarking on a career path that has ranged from work in the start-up world, to a four-year stint as a city councilman in Mason, Ohio, in the mid-2000s—a part of his life that he's quick to downplay, calling it all "political stuff." He says he's also spent a lot of time doing lobbying work, along with some venture capital work and running his own consulting agency.
Since last February, however, Wurzbacher—through a company called Elevation Industries—has been focusing on finding employment solutions for individuals with a criminal record, or, "hard-to-hire individuals," he explained. Wurzbacher said his work with Elevation has had an affect on his areas of interest in law school.
"Originally, for the last several years when I thought about law school, I really wanted to go do international type work. But, as I've gotten more involved in reentry work and prison work, it's kind of shifted my focus a little bit on criminal justice issues and things of that nature," said Wurzbacher. "Hopefully I'll take everything that I learn in law school and use it in Elevation. That's kind of the master plan."
Aside from balancing his course load at the law school and his work with Elevation, Wurzbacher is also busy parenting five children.
"It's tough trying to balance time with that kind of course load," he said. "But the staff has been fantastic, the administrative staff has been great, the teachers have been wonderful—they definitely worked really to hard to understand the stuff I have going on outside of work."
Even still, downtime seems like a foreign concept to Wurzbacher.
"Early in the semester, there were students coming into the lunchroom eating lunch. And I'm in the lunchroom running payroll, signing checks and doing all that kind of stuff," he explained. "And at one point, I had three guys who had an interview—we were trying to place them in a company, and they didn't have a way to get there. So, in between classes, I'm running these guys—two ex-convicts and a former pimp—down to the interview and I'm thinking, 'Man, I didn't think my life was going to look like this.'"
And, for Wurzbacher, it's all "incredibly rewarding."

College of Law Students Awarded Prestigious Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation Fellowships
Two Urban Morgan Institute Fellows have just been awarded fellowships with the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation. Suzy Firestone '14 and Patrick Higgins '16 will be working with the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation (OLAF) Fellowship program. The competitive fellowships bring to the legal aid community talented law school graduates, to focus on specific and urgent issues facing low-income individuals and families.
Suzy Firestone '14 Will Focus on Immigration and Education Issues
Suzy Firestone plans to use the fellowship to work with Legal Aid of Greater Cincinnati to provide advocacy about immigration and education issues that affect low-income immigrant children and families in southwest Ohio. She says her project was created in response to the flood of children and families from Central America, who fled violence and poverty to come to the United States.
While at UC Law, Firestone focused on public interest and immigration law. As an Urban Morgan Institute Fellow, she worked on the Human Rights Quarterly all three years she was in school, saying it was "a good opportunity to connect to like-minded people."
Firestone spent a semester with Su Casa, a Catholic charity in Cincinnati that serves Hispanic and Latino individuals by providing them with social, educational, language, employment and healthcare services. In addition to helping clients complete Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) forms, she also interned with Legal Aid.
Before coming to UC for law school, Firestone completed her undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Political Science while minoring in Social and Economic Justice.
After graduating, she worked with a branch of AmeriCorps in North Carolina at a crisis service center. Working with the Spanish language program there, Firestone said, helped her understand how immigration status was connected to and exacerbated problems faced by immigrants, such as poverty and the threat of domestic violence.
"It made me want to provide the type of relief that would impact and help provide people with greater stability," she said.
Through her project, Firestone hopes to ensure that her clients can stay in the US, keeping them from being forced to return to the dangerous conditions that prompted them to risk the journey here. She also wants to be sure that children can access their right to a public education and make progress in school.
The achievement of her goals will come from providing direct representation in immigration and education cases, as well as offering outreach in immigrant communities. She also hopes to increase the capacity of her project and enlarge its overall impact through the use of student externs and volunteers, as well as pro bono attorneys.
Since graduating from the College of law, Firestone has been working as a clerk for Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman, United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
Patrick Higgins '16 Will Focus on Reducing Barriers to Employment
Patrick Higgins, who will be graduating this spring, also has been awarded a two-year fellowship with the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation. He will be working at the Ohio Poverty Law Center in Columbus, Ohio. Specifically, he will be working with the Legal Aid Society of Columbus and Southeastern Ohio Legal Services to build coalitions aimed at reducing barriers to employment in central and southeast Ohio.
Before coming to UC for law school, Higgins studied at New York University, where he was part of the first graduating class of the university's Global Liberal Studies program. His concentration within the program was Politics, Rights and Development. He also minored in Spanish.
The primary reason he chose to come to UC for law school, said Higgins, was the Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights. He was awarded the Arthur Russell Morgan Fellowship, and works on the Human Rights Quarterly as the Senior Articles Editor with Portfolio.
"When I decided that law school was the best next step for my career, I knew that it had to retain a focus of bringing human rights home," he said. He added that the presence of centers such as the Center for Race, Gender and Social Justice, as well as the college's urban location made him feel comfortable knowing he would be studying in an environment "committed to using the law for good."
Higgins says his law school career has been full of notable experiences. As early as his first summer at the College of Law, he was working for a human rights think tank in Bogotá, Colombia, called Dejusticia, where he conducted research on policy affecting Colombia and the rest of the Global South.
During his second year, Higgins was an extern at the Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio, where he worked with the immigration practice group. That summer, he worked with Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE) in Toledo, Ohio as an associate in the Agricultural Worker and Immigrant Rights practice group—an opportunity, he says, that exposed him to a wide array of legal experiences, including a trial for a racial profiling lawsuit filed against the United States Border Patrol.
"My experiences working civil legal aid and education at the College of Law have taught me that legal advocacy alone cannot solve every issue," he says. With his fellowship—aside from the legal and policy work he'll be doing—he hopes to build a coalition of people and groups so that the project's impact is felt well beyond his two years there.
Currently, Higgins currently is interning with the Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio.

University of Cincinnati College of Law Named a Best School for Public Service Careers
Kate Cook '14 interned with the Indigent Defense Clinic, learning to represent clients.
The College of Law was recognized among the top 20 law schools in the country for law students interested in prosecutorial/public defender work.
Cincinnati, OH— The accolades continue into 2016 as the University of Cincinnati College of Law was just recognized as a "Best School for Public Service Careers" by National Jurist magazine. The college is among the top 20 law schools in the country in the prosecutors/public defenders category.
"I am very happy to hear we have been recognized for our success in preparing students for careers in public service. This is a reflection to the hard work and commitment of our faculty and staff," said Dean Jennifer S. Bard.
National Jurist magazine conducted a study, which will be published in the winter edition of preLaw magazine that looked at the top schools in three categories – public interest, government and prosecutors/public defenders. The study examined curricular offerings, employment placement, debt, starting salary and loan repayment assistance programs. Twenty schools were recognized in each category; some schools appeared in more than one.
Over the past few months the College of Law has received numerous acknowledgements, including being ranked an A- Best Value Law School by National Jurist and preLaw magazines; a top school for practical training by National Jurist; a top 50 law school for sending graduates to the top 250 law firms by the National Law Journal; and a top 30 National Jurist Super Lawyer School.

Getting Great References
It is inevitable that at some point in your job search you will be asked for references, and when you are, you want to be sure you have a great group of advocates who are prepared with answers that will help rather than hinder your chances at landing the position.
References are something you should think about at the beginning of your interview process and not just at the end when you are under immediate pressure to provide them.
Start by making a list of all the possible people you can use as a reference. Be sure to think about:
It is fine if a reference no longer works for the company where you were employed together or if they live in another city. It is more important that the individuals you choose know you well enough, have experience working with you, and are willing to vouch for you. In short, you are looking for anyone who can communicate your experience, skills, integrity, professionalism, and can-do attitude to any potential employer.
Once you have a list of approximately five potential references you need to:
1. Ask them for permission. Be sure to keep thorough notes of when you contacted them and what their response was.
2. Ask for their preferred means of contact whether it is by personal or office phone, or if they would rather be contacted via e-mail.
3. Discuss the following likely questions with your potential references, so that you know what they are going to say and there are no surprises. You can tell them what points you are aiming to reinforce with the employers who might contact them and more than likely they will happy for the input.
It is also a good practice to keep a folder of references and commendations for a job well done that you augment throughout your career. Get into the habit of asking for a letter of reference from someone who you have worked with who might be moving on and ask that person if they would be willing to serve as a verbal reference as well. This is certainly something to keep in mind if you are or have worked as an intern where the big payoff is more likely to be in experience gained and contacts made than in money earned.

Cubs stun Giants with late four-run rally to advance
(The Sports Xchange) - Javier Baez capped a four-run rally in the top of the ninth inning with a run-scoring single that lifted the Chicago Cubs to a 6-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday and a 3-1 National League Division Series win.
The Chicago uprising against five San Francisco relievers denied the Giants an 11th consecutive win in an elimination game, which would have extended their own record.
With Matt Moore limiting the Cubs to two hits over eight innings and Conor Gillaspie contributing four singles to an 11-hit attack, the Giants were three outs away from forcing a fifth and deciding game when they took a 5-2 lead into the ninth.
The Cubs had other ideas, however, and the uprising began when Kris Bryant grounded a leadoff single off right-hander Derek Law.
Lefty Javier Lopez came on for one batter and walked Anthony Rizzo, bringing the potential tying run to the plate and producing closer Sergio Romo from the bullpen.
Ben Zobrist greeted Romo with a double into the right field corner, scoring Bryant and putting the tying runs in scoring position with still no outs.
Lefty Will Smith was summoned to face pinch hitter Chris Coghlan, who was pulled in favor of a right-handed hitter, Willson Contreras. The catcher grounded a two-run, game-tying single up the middle.
Jason Heyward was then called upon to sacrifice, and he bunted back to the mound. Smith got the lead runner at second, but Brandon Crawford threw wildly to first base, allowing Heyward to reach second.
The error was Crawford's second of the game. Continued...

Sixteen commercial reference buildings were created in the multizone airflow and contaminant transport program CONTAM in order to support airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ) analyses, which are not possible using the existing EnergyPlus input files for these buildings. Annual airflow and contaminant simulations were performed in CONTAM for six of the buildings. Contaminant analyses were performed for occupant generated carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC) from indoor sources, outdoor particulate matter, and outdoor ozone. In all of the selected buildings and zones, the simulated indoor ozone and PM2.5 concentrations did not exceed indoor limits set by the World Health Organization. For CO2 and VOC, for which no similarly relevant indoor concentration standards or limits exist, the simulated concentrations were within expected ranges based on published field measurements in commercial buildings. The results of this study provide a baseline for subsequent use of these models to investigate approaches to building ventilation and other technologies that are intended to simultaneously reduce building energy consumption while maintaining or improving indoor air quality.

Wellmont speaks out about Unicoi hospital sale
Executives will not participate in Thursday meeting
UNICOI COUNTY, Tenn. - Wellmont Health System officials are speaking out about the proposed sale of Unicoi County Memorial Hospital to Mountain States Health Alliance.
Officials said in a statement Tuesday morning that Wellmont believes the process used by the hospital's board of control to select Mountain States over Wellmont did not meet legal requirements. They are now calling Wellmont's proposal and the proposal of Mountain States Health Alliance to be null and void.
Wellmont executives say they will not take part Unicoi County Memorial Hospital Board of Control meeting planned for Thursday. "According to our legal advice, the proper remedy for these violations is for the board to issue another request for proposals and follow a legal, broad and transparent process from this point forward," said Denny DeNarvaez, Wellmont's president and CEO in a statement released Tuesday. "Merely re-evaluating the two proposals in an open meeting such as the one scheduled later this week is not sufficient."
The Tennessee Attorney General's office expressed concerns it had with the process the board used
The sale was placed on hold until the conditions expressed by the attorney general's office are met including being approved by the Unicoi County Commission and the Erwin Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The ballad Of NoraMature
My breath came in harsh and ragged puffs. I cautiously peeked around the corner I hid behind and strained my eyes to see what was coming my way.
I jumped when the scream of crunching and twisting steel filled the ominous silence of the night.
I let out a low whimper of fear and slowly crept along the cold concrete wall. Sweat coated my brow and dripped from my chin and back. Gooseflesh covered my body. Tears of hopeless desperation strangled me, making my already wheezing lungs strain harder grasp gulps of air.
I straightened at the sound of footsteps creeping closer. A sob escaped, echoing down the dark alley. I quickly scrambled further down the alley-way and skidded to a sudden halt when I came to a crossroads.
My heart thundered inside my chest, and eyes darted around deciphering every shadow, narrowing in on every corner. I hesitated for a few precious seconds, trying to decide on which way lead me to freedom; but when the sound of scraping metal sounded from behind me. Without another moment of hesitation, I turned right and sprinted down the dark alley.
An abrupt thought of me dying almost made me freeze in place and scream in denial, but I pushed further on, barrelling down the alley-way without slowing down. But my determination was short lived when I saw the brick wall blocking my exit. I sagged in defeat and quickly scanned the area for a weapon to use.
My eyes fell on a sharp, rusted shard of metal. I swiped it up from the ground, gripped it tightly and put my back against the wall and waited for the footsteps to get closer.
My hands were slippery with sweat, making the shard difficult to hold on to.
I straightened my shoulders when I saw a shadow at the mouth of the alley-way.
There was a flash of silver then a muted pop. I instinctually ducked. But it was too late; darkness took me within its grasp. I tried to fight but it was moot.
I died with hatred singing inside my unmoving heart.
* *
I ducked under the crime scene tape and slowly made me way toward the victim and forensic investigator. I heaved a sigh of disgust and disappointment at the sight of the young female lying cold and lifeless on the alley-way pavement.
"What have you got Shawn?" I asked in an empty tone.
Shawn Harrison has been a forensic investigator longer than my whole career. He's in his mid to late forties, with a protruding beer belly, and a kind heart despite his lifeless job.
I stopped beside him as he crouched down beside the female with disgust etched into his features.
He sighed and raised his head to look up at me.
"Single shot to the forehead. Victims' name is Nora Webber, eighteen years old. But what the sickest thing about this crime is that the bastard wasn't finished with her when she died, in fact it looks as if he prefers them dead and unmoving so he doesn't have to worry about them struggling." Shawn spat out in disgust.
I ground my teeth together and fought the violent tide of anger beginning to form inside of me.
I knelt down and not able to stomach the sight of her lifeless gaze staring out into the night, I gently closed her eyes and sat back with a lump in my throat at the look of helplessness forever imprinted into her eyes, even in her violent death her eyes still held a faint hint of life.
I abruptly jumped when Shawn suddenly from beside me.
"Looks like she was getting prepared to fight back, she chose a reasonable weapon too." He bent over and carefully pried said weapon from her fist. He shone a flashlight on it and examined it intently.
"Looks to be a broken piece of rusted metal, maybe what used to be a pole of some sort." He put down the rusted shard and studied her hand. "It's cut into her hand pretty deeply. I'd say, if had survived this, she would have needed a tetanus shot. Poor thing didn't know what to expect." Shawn said gruffly.
I cleared my throat and got to my feet and walked back toward my car. I started the engine and drove away as fast as I could.
* *
I watched the girl sashay around, swinging her hips seductively and flirting with anyone that she stumbled upon.
She laughed at something her friend said and I felt my own laughter bubbling up in response.
But I didn't share her laughter, nor do I laugh out of attraction, no, my laughter is out of mockery.
Soon she will be mine to toy with, mine to do with as I please.
The last moments of her life will be mine.
I will bathe in her pain, and anguish, her fear and desperation.
And laugh at her attempts to fight.
And the final light that will soon shine bright in her eyes?
All mine.

Tobias Whale is a villain in DC Comics.
Publication history[edit]
Tobias Whale first appeared in Black Lightning #1 (April 1977). He was created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden.
Fictional character biography[edit]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (December 2009)
Tobias Whale is an African American albino, who worked his way up from the rackets to head the Metropolis branch of the 100. A school teacher named Jefferson Pierce spoke out against the 100's drug trafficking, and so they made an example of one of his students. Seeking to avenge the murdered student, Pierce becomes Black Lightning.[1]
Pierce is so successful that Tobias is sent to jail.[2] When he breaks out of prison some months later, he teams up with Syonide II in order to distribute a new highly addictive drug. The drug's formula was supposedly in the possession of a woman named Violet Harper. Tobias sends Syonide to retrieve the formula. Unable to gain any information or find any trace of the formula, Syonide kills Harper.
Violet Harper later comes back to life when an Aurakle possesses her lifeless body, this new being called herself Halo. Once he learned of Harper's resurrection, Tobias assumed that she must have memorized the formula. But since Harper has no memories from before her death, a frustrated Syonide killed her parents.
Often called "the Great White Whale" behind his back, Tobias Whale weighs close to 400 lbs. However, most of his considerable bulk is muscle.
It is unknown whether Tobias ever was associated with the 100's successor group, the 1000.
Whale returned in the limited series Gotham Underground[3] and has moved to Gotham City where he is attempting to become the Capo di tutti capi boss of bosses, following the death of the Black Mask. After taking over both the Galante and Odessa crime families, he ends up in a gang war with Intergang. They buy him out and make him the CEO of Kord Enterprises which has become a front for Intergang's criminal activities.
The New 52[edit]
In The New 52, the 2011 reboot of the DC Comics universe, Tobias Whale gets word that his drug deal done by his representatives was disrupted by both Black Lightning and Blue Devil. He decides to have them hunted down in order to get revenge on them.[4]
Other versions[edit]
During the 2015 "Convergence" storyline, the pre-Zero-Hour version of Tobias Whale has been trapped in his Metropolis for a full year. He has taken over the criminal underground. He struggles to gain influence over the mysterious food deliveries as this is something the city values. He is opposed by the vigilante Jean-Paul Valley and the stranded playboy Bruce Wayne. Whale is unaware that Wayne is secretly Batman.[5]
In other media[edit]
Tobias Whale appears in Beware the Batman, voiced by Michael-Leon Wooley.
