Rolando Acosta was an excellent choice, very happy with our decision to use him for our project. You can tell he has had a lot of experience as he was vert knowledgeable on the subject of Zoning and other things. He had great resources and provided us with multiple routes we could take. I would definitely recommend him and we will be using him again in the future.

JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Smithson Valley Middle School students spent most of Thursday afternoon in a nearby athletic field after a bomb threat was found in a school restroom.Eighth-grade student taken into custody By Erin MAGRUDER Staff Writer A written bomb threat found in a restroom at Smithson Valley Middle School led to the evacuation of the campus and arrest of an eighth-grade male student. The scare came just three days after a pipe bomb was found at COBB Blanco High School. Comal County Sheriff's deputies arrested the boy and charged him with making a false alarm or report. He was taken into cus tody by juvenile authorities, officials said. No explosive devices were found in the school on Farm-to-Market Road 311 and no one was injured, said Captain David Ott of the Comal County Sheriff's Office. The bomb threat was discovered by a student during the school's lunch period in a downstairs boy's restroom near the gym, said Nancy Cobb, assistant to the CISD superintendent. "The note said, 'There is a bomb in the school. It will go off at 3 p.m.'" Ott said. The student notified school administrators, who immediately called the police and evacuated more than 500 students and faculty from the building, Cobb said. Cobb said, "We encourage students not to do this as a hoax. The students are angry that someone would do this." See BOMB SCARE/3A Lockhart murder trial enters fifth day in Comal CANTU From Staff Reports Testimony continued Thursday at Comal County Courthouse in the murder trial of 21 -year old Lockhart resident Carlos Cantu. A six-man, six-woman jury heard testimony from state witnesses against Cantu, accused of aiding in the shooting death of 21 - year old Lockhart resident Henry P. Silva in February 1998. Cantu is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the shooting of Silva during a confrontation between two alleged gangs Feb. 20, 1998, in north Lockhart. If convicted of the murder charge, Cantu could face up to 99 years or life in prison. Aggravated assault is a second-degree felony. If convicted, Cantu could face two to 20 years in prison. The trial was moved to Comal County after State District Judge Charles Ramsay approved the defense's request for a change of venue in November 1998.

New Braunfels Police officer Fred Pfeil said a 36-year-old New Braunfels woman was turning left from Castell Avenue onto Business 35 when a Chevrolet Beretta struck her vehicle, a Pontiac Grand Am. "The light changed green and the (New Braunfels) woman pulled out," he said. "The other girl hit her car, causing it to spin around." Witnesses said the Beretta lifted the Grand Am into the air before turning it around. New Braunfels EMS personnel said the driver of the Beretta, a 17-year-old Seguin woman, received lacerations to her face and eyes after her face went through the windshield. Air life transported her to University Hospital in San Antonio. The New Braunfels woman was transported by Star Flight to Brackenridge Hospital in Austin with left hip pain. EMS personnel said she could have possible internal injuries and that she was confused. BERTELSEN CISD board accused of duping voters By Heather Todd Staff Writer BULVERDE — A large crowd of Comal Independent School District patrons outraged by a proposal to move a new elementary school to the east side of U.S. 281 accused trustees Thursday night of betraying voters and vowed they would not support any future bond proposals in the district. A motion by trustee Robert Loop to buy property on Borgfeld Road on the west side of 281 for a new elementary school failed Thursday night, just a half-hour after CISD patrons accused trustees of ethical misconduct for rejecting the same site in December. About 150 district patrons packed the cafeteria at Bill Brown Elementary School Thursday night to express outrage over a proposal to move the location of a new elementary school in the U.S. 281 and Cibolo Creek area to the east side of281. Michael Glen, a Timberwood Park resident, called board members "used car salesmen" for betraying the trust of CISD patrons who supported a $141 million bond in May 1999. "You have conned us," he said. "I guarantee you, if you try to pass another bond, it will not pass." At the heart of the controversy was a proposed alternative bond plan by John Bertelsen to move a new elementary school to the east side of U.S. 281, move a new high school to the west side of U.S. 281 and draw a boundary line down 281. Bertelsen said the plan would address some problems, including transportation and unbalanced enrollment, with the current bond plan. Voters passed a two-phase bond plan this past year that included building three new elementary schools and one new high school in the Canyon Lake area. During the bond campaign, the district outlined three general areas for the new elementary schools and designated the area north of Canyon Lake for the new high school. But, some residents said Thursday night voters approved the package with the expectation that the new U.S. 281/Cibolo Creek school would be built in Timberwood Park, a subdivision on the west side of 281 in Bexar County. The district is looking at school sites on the west and east side of 281 after rejecting the Borgfeld Road site in December. An attempt by Loop, Nick Nichols and John Clay to change the vote on the Borgfeld site Thursday night failed in a three-to-three vote. Bertelsen, Lester Jonas and Dora Gonzales voted against Loop's motion.

CL home destroyed in blaze By Erin Magruder Staff Writer CANYON LAKE — A Canyon Lake area family escaped injury but their entire home was destroyed Thursday afternoon in a fire that might have started in the attic. The blaze was reported about I p.m. by a neighbor who saw smoke coming from the residence at 5731 W. Texas 46, owner Susan Flei-drich said. "None of us were at home at the time," Hei-drich said. "They said maybe (the fire) started in the attic because they saw flames coming out of the roof, and it was solid black with smoke around the attic." Canyon Lake Volunteer Fire Department crews arrived about 1:12 p.m., and backup came shortly thereafter from New Braunfels Fire and Rescue, CLVFD Chief Douglas Rogers said. Bracken, Spring Branch and Bulverde volunteer fire departments also responded. Firefighters had the majority of the blaze extinguished within about 30 minutes, but the single-story, more than 2,000 square-foot residence was a total loss, he said. Heidrich said her home was insured, and Rogers estimated damages at more than $100,000. The fire probably started near the back corner of the home, and the cause of the blaze is still under investigation, Rogers said. Heidrich said one of her five dachshunds was missing after the fire, but she thought the dog probably was not hurt. "This is just one of those things you never think is going to happen," Heidrich said. "My daughter is getting married Feb. 12, and all of the wedding invitations were in the house. Luckily, her wedding dress was somewhere else." K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung A firefighter hoses down hot spots in a Canyon Lake area home that was destroyed by fire Thursday. The owners were not home, and no one was injured in the fire that caused more than $100,000 in damages. AUTO Re PMI &29-786B1 ;

Ritchie, 46, led Barnsley to promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship in May via the League One play-offs in his first full season in charge.
But the Oakwell board have terminated the former Manchester United and Leeds striker's contract following a row over team strengthening.
Ritchie, who has been unable to add to his squad in recent weeks, has come under pressure after a run of just two wins in their last nine league matches has left them second bottom in the table.
But only last month Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dave Allen confirmed Ritchie had been one of the managers he wanted to speak to about the vacancy at Hillsborough following Paul Sturrock's dismissal.

Spotlight Parent Review
This movie reminds us why serious, investigative and credible journalism needs to be supported by an interested public. Profanities account for R-rating.
Movie Review
In an era where many of us assume journalism is a free service obtainable with a click on the Internet, Spotlight is a stark reminder of what investigative journalism used to be and how this dying profession helped provide checks and balances within our society.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
The title of the movie refers to an elite team of reporters within the Boston Globe. Led by Walter Robinson (played by Michael Keaton), journalists Mike Rezendes, Sacha Pfeiffer and Matt Carroll (played by Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Brian d'Arcy James) had the luxury of taking the time required to dig deep into an issue. Unlike other reporters who had to meet daily deadlines, the Spotlight team could invest months into their efforts.
While this section of the Boston Globe continues to publish today, this specific movie reflects on a story published in 2002 that revealed a sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church.
In a city where Catholicism is the norm (according to the script, 53% of the Globe's subscriber base is of that affiliation), the press is careful to depict the church in a somewhat positive light. The members of the Spotlight team themselves are all Boston natives, born and raised within the shadow of the religious order. Consequently each carries overt or subconscious sympathies toward the institution. However, the arrival of a new editor at the Globe, brings a more scrutinizing eye. Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber), a man of Jewish descent who was parachuted in from a successful position in Florida, takes the helm at the paper. Not steeped in the same traditions as the others, Baron directs the Spotlight team to follow up on some story threads about a priest previously accused of child molestation. What begins as skeptical curiosity turns into an extensive investigation revealing not only sexual misconduct by clergymen, but efforts by church officials to cover up a growing problem.
Profanities account for the R-rating on this movie, with the sexual expletive used at least five times, along with frequent scatological and religious terms, moderate and mild profanity, and crude slang. Yet, thankfully, the script doesn't stoop to wallow in salacious details of the sexual abuse, although enough non-graphic information is shared to insure viewers understand the seriousness of the accusations. Instead the focus is placed on the affects this breach of trust and faith has had upon some of the victims. Our heroes, the reporters, create much of the plot's dramatic momentum as they come to recognize the enormity of the situation and endeavor to find and confirm every lead. Along the way they must face their own inherent biases.
A dialogue heavy film that presents scene after scene of confrontations and revelations taking place in offices and boardrooms, Spotlight's fine performances and careful editing work together to create an engaging experience. It's also commendable that the script includes depictions of how the newspaper itself neglected to look into the issue when it was first revealed to them years earlier. Still, we, the audience, should also remember this is a movie—a theatrical production—not a fact-based documentary. While the sexual molestation is verifiably true, the film industry's own prejudices toward religion and Catholicism should also be taken into account while watching this based-on-a-true-story screen adaptation.
In reality, the Spotlight journalists revealed an important story that brought awareness to a crucial issue and initiated change. Hopefully it also helped many people heal from past abuse and prevented many more from becoming victims of such devastating violations. Along with revisiting the scandal, the Spotlight movie helps to remind us why serious, investigative journalism needs to be supported by an interested public, and why we should be demanding the maintenance of credible news sources.Directed by Tom McCarthy. Starring Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton . Running time: 128 minutes. Theatrical release November 25, 2015. Updated May 12, 2016
Get details on profanity, sex and violence in Spotlight here.
Spotlight Parents Guide
How did worrying about the "greater good" (all the good things the Catholic Church provides) influence the decision to pay less attention to "the one" (the victims of the priests' abuse)? In the long run, how did ignoring the smaller problem lead to a greater problem? Is the same true for our individual concerns? How might neglecting the little things eventually affect our big goals?
Is any movie (or documentary for that matter) completely free of bias? Do viewers always get the complete truth? To answer that question, you may want to check these two online articles. One describes how the Marty Baron was involved in the making of this movie and how he views the finished product. The other, from the right-leaning Media Research Center, asserts there are other mitigating issues relating to the abuse that were not included in the script.
How has the popularity of the Internet changed the way news is delivered? Although there are many more sources than their used to be, are they all credible? How in-depth are the stories? How might personal biases affect what is written? How do your personal biases influence what you chose to read?
If the reporters had not investigated these allegations, would the victims' stories ever have been told? What did the press do that the legal system could not? How important is investigative journalism to you? Why is this industry dying?
Read the Boston Globe article the movie Spotlight is based on.
From the Studio: Starring Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber, Brian d'Arcy James and Stanley Tucci, SPOTLIGHT tells the riveting true story of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe investigation that would rock the city and cause a crisis in one of the world's oldest and most trusted institutions. When the newspaper's tenacious "Spotlight" team of reporters delves into allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church, their year-long investigation uncovers a decades-long cover-up at the highest levels of Boston's religious, legal, and government establishment, touching off a wave of revelations around the world. Directed by Academy Award-nominee Tom McCarthy, SPOTLIGHT is a tense investigative dramatic-thriller, tracing the steps to one of the biggest cover-ups in modern times. Written by Open Road

The Mach 460 amplifier was a factory option on the Ford Mustang from 1999 to 2004. Wiring the Mach 460 amplifiers to work properly with an aftermarket stereo system requires some very specific wiring procedures that are not part of a typical aftermarket stereo installation. Failing to properly wire the amplifier to the new stereo will result in the Mach 460 subwoofers being deactivated during playback.
Things You'll Need
- Electrical tape
- Adjustable wrench
- Soldering gun (optional)
- Wire strippers
- Wire harness
Remove 1/4 inch of the wire shielding from each wire on both the wire harness and the aftermarket stereo with a pair of wire strippers. Use the 18-gauge slot to avoid slicing through the wire itself.
Connect each speaker wire from the wire harness with each speaker wire from the aftermarket stereo. Typically these wires are the same color on both devices, but consult the wiring guide from both the stereo and the wiring harness to make sure.
Connect all of the ground wires together so that they form a single connection. There are typically five ground wires in total, three from the harness and two from the stereo. Some stereo systems might have additional ground wires if they have special features such as GPS or DVD. Again, consult the wiring guide to determine how many ground wires each device has.
Connect the two amplifier cables from the wiring harness with the remote control cable from the aftermarket stereo.
Wrap all exposed wiring connections with electrical tape.
Install the wiring harness and aftermarket stereo in your vehicle's dashboard as per the installation instructions for the stereo system.
Tips & Warnings
- To connect electrical wire together you can either crimp the wire by simply twisting it together or solder it with a soldering gun. Soldering creates a stronger connection but also takes longer. Either method will work fine for this installation.
- Never perform electrical work on a vehicle without first disconnecting the battery.

Easy to navigate website...lots of exciting articles and products to try. Love that you offer free samples with orders, adds a special touch. Only downside is the delivery. The company delivering put my package into a cupboard in the communal staircase and a neighbour took it for safe keeping. Said neighbour then went on holiday for a week and so took much longer to actually get my hands on my order.
Excellent range, but a few things I want are out of stock.
always a good service

Local fishermen keeping close eye on Arthur
by: Lorena Incl\u00E1n Updated:
MAYPORT, Fla. - The first named storm of the 2014 hurricane season could make a big impact on Northeast Florida's shores with larger-than-normal swells that are expected to start Wednesday.
Local fishermen are not taking it lightly. Safe Harbor Seafood dock supervisor PJ Punke said he's watching the storm very closely.
"These type of storms sometimes affect our snapper boats and shrimp boats so we kind of keep a watchful eye and a lot of the captains keep a watchful eye too," said Punke.
All shrimp boats are now tied up and the gear has been secured. According to Punke, the real concern is if the waves hit 10 feet or higher.
"Once it gets over that, it becomes definitely a safety issue," said Punke. Red flag warnings can be seen at the beach alerting beachgoers of strong rip currents.
According to Pfc. Lauren Jorgensen, the Coast Guard has already started alerting boaters who are off shore of the oncoming storm.
"When those conditions exceed our capabilities first responders might not be available. There might not be anyone who can go out and assist," said Jorgensen. "That's why it's so important for people to heed the warnings."
The Coast Guard is urging boaters to remember to secure their vessels and gear. Jorgensen said many times life jackets or other gear will drift to sea prompting searches by the Coast Guard.

Investors size up Australian copper mines amid weakness
By James Regan
SYDNEY Oct 2 (Reuters) - Australian copper miners sitting on undeveloped deposits are catching the eyes of investors looking beyond the downward trajectory in metals markets, with private investment giant KKR & Co LP the latest to take a position.
"Private investors are assessing the longer term value while the market sits at the bottom," said Fat Prophets mining analyst David Lennox
Copper prices have deteriorated in response to declining economic growth in China, the world's top consumer.
London Metal Exchange copper ended the third quarter down 10.5 percent, the weakest quarterly performance in more than two years.
Shares in Australian copper companies have declined in step, despite copper in Australian dollars remaining relatively flat at around A$3.30 a pound
"It's a bit skewed, suggesting the company's are being undervalued by the market," said Lennox.
Researchers at Capital Economics expect Australia to outperform other commodities-heavy countries such as Canada, Brazil and Norway.
"Australia's labour market will probably remain stronger than those elsewhere, its fiscal situation is not as bad and its services sector is well placed to take advantage of the weakening in the Australian dollar," it said. Continued...

After following couple of times with phone calls and emails . I got reply from WES stated that they will reiew my request and if it is approved, an administrative fee in the amount of $50.00 will apply, I saw there are 120 complainta aganist them so how many $50.00 they collected without doing any service to the public , I think World Education Services scaming people.

Many frequencies used today in our current UHF Wireless Systems were given for the use of mobile services (LTE). The operation of conventional UHF wireless systems in these frequency ranges is not, or only partly allowed. This change is referred to in the industry as digital dividend. In Germany for example the digital change-over will be on the 31.12.2015
Fortunately, most systems are currently available in the UHF frequency ranges and multiple systems with our Thomann frequency tool, so you can see in which frequencies the selected products are allowed and whether they may continue to be used freely without extra costs or registration.
Incidentally, modern wireless systems that transmit over the wireless frequencies of WIFI networks are not affected by the digital dividend. Please refer to the notes in our product descriptions.
Information on the supported frequency ranges
Here you can see which frequencies are supported by this wireless system and the countries in which these frequencies are allowed in the future for wireless applications.

India will be looking to defeat the Australians once again and win the series 2-0, when the two teams meet each other in the second and final Test match scheduled to be held in the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
Fresh after a thrilling 1-wicket win in the first Test match in Mohali, Mahender Singh Dhoni and his teammates will be up for the vital Test match which will decide the series.
The Australians have not been able to win a Test match on Indian soil for the past six years, however, they will be hoping to bounce back strongly and end the series on a winning note.
The Indians are facing few injury problems in their camp. V V S Laxman who played a delightful knock to guide India to victory in the first Test match is doubtful as he is still trying to recuperate after sustaining a back injury in the first Test.
"Laxman is much better now compared to what he was, though he did not practice today also. But we would love to have him in the playing XI. Of course, we need time to decide because it's a longer format," said Dhoni.
The Indians would be without key stars such as opener Gautam Gambhir and pacer Ishant Sharma, who had just about rediscovered some lost form when he was laid low by a knee injury in the opening Test.
With Gambhir out, Murali Vijay is likely to come in as a replacement in the starting XI and open with Virender Sehwag at the other end.
Tamil Nadu opener Abhinav Mukund, who performed well in the recently held Irani Trophy tournament, and Jaydev Unadkat have been included in the team in place of Gambhir and Ishant but it remains to be seen whether they would actually find a place in the playing XI.
Reports suggested that the Chinnaswamy track will be on the slower side.
Inspite of the loss in the first Test match, Dhoni expects Ponting and his men to come hard on them and said that the team is ready to face the challenge.
"They will come back strongly in the second Test. That is there culture and also they do not give up easily. We are prepared equally and ready to face the task," Dhoni said.
Meanwhile, the injury concerns have also engulfed the Australian team as their star pacer Bollinger will miss the upcoming test due to an abdomen injury and is being replaced by the South Australian Peter George.
Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus would look to continue the good work they did in the Mohali Test.
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, M.Vijay, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Suresh Raina, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, S Sreesanth, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Cheteshwar Pujara, Abhinav Mukund and Jaydev Unadkat.
Australia: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, Simon Katich, Philip Hughes, Mike Hussey, Marcus North, Doug Bollinger, Ben Hilfenhaus, Mitchell Johnson, Tim Paine (wk), James Pattinson, Peter George, Nathan Hauritz, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc.

So it seems that by the end of January 2010 my weekly Scrubs recaps will no longer be necessary and I am kind of wondering if I will be out of a job with Lost In Reviews, figuratively speaking of course, but still the news of ABC's decision to burn off the remaining episodes of this once so great show got me to wondering if I should even continue period. So after some deep soul searching, not all that deep to be honest, I have come to the conclusion that I am with this show until the bitter end. Because truthfully it does have some good points. No it does really. No I am not lying. Stop arguing with me. Oh sorry that second personality has a mind of it's own sometimes. In all seriousness if any casting person is reading this (and I know you are) (yeah wishful thinking on my part I know) as soon as Michael Mosley and Eliza Coupe are released from their contracts Snap Them Up. Because damn if they didn't steal this redux from everyone else. Oh hell I am in the giving mood this holiday season so go ahead and give Dave another role too he's earned it. Anyone who can read his lines while squinting that much has to be talented. And if you didn't at least chuckle when he said endearingly to Dr. Kelso, "Will you be my grandpa?" at the end of tonight's episode well my friend I just can't help you.
In "Our Mysteries" timid little Lucy had to learn how to stand on her own two feet and take blood from a living person. It amazes me that once upon a time when our young interns were Turk, JD, and Elliot their trials and tribulations were ones that we cheered them on for and now I see Lucy going through the same thing and I just don't care. I was even hoping that she would fail just so she could get kicked out of the program so I wouldn't have to spend the next couple of weeks looking at her earnest face. Can you believe that? I wanted her to fail and get removed from the show. I must be tripping. I mean I know she is going to be there until the end, but every Tuesday I turn it to channel 25 and wish upon a star that she is no longer there. Stupid Jiminy. That will teach me to ever believe a talking cricket.
On the other hand I did learn that by not stealing a guy's money it means I am in a relationship with him and it's always nice when a show ends that a lesson can be learned. I gotta ask, why does Perry care about Denise and Drew's relationship? Oh yeah that's right he's an ass. I forgot. It's not like they remind us oh every flipping episode. One other thing: Did Sunny's voice change? It sounded strangely normal and that isn't normal. I missed her chipmunk chatter. "Softies" should not now or ever be allowed to come from Dr. Kelso's mouth. Ever. I mean it writers just say no.
Unfortunately that is where my praise ends. Oh sure I didn't have any particular reason not to like tonight's episode. What with both JD and Perry being forced to reiterate once again how cartoonish their characters have come to be and Turk having to follow along with some half ass attempt to soothe JD's hurt feelings. I have to admit I agreed with Dr. Cox's evaluation. The sad truth is that JD has spent the last 5 episodes walking around that school caring more about how others saw him than he was in teaching. In fact did he actually teach those students anything? Now that I think about it I am pretty sure Turk hasn't taught anything either. But since it was the JD Show I can understand why he didn't have much to do. JD reminds me of this woman I work with. Everyday on break she practically forces her friendship down my throat, don't ask me her name because I don't know it, and everyday I force myself not to tell her to shut up and stop forcing it because if I wanted to be her friend I would. I know that sounds mean and you are probably right, but the truth is that the more she tries the more she irritates me. But I can't tell her that because then it would hurt her feelings and well I get into trouble enough for telling people what I actually think about them. So you can see my problem. JD reminds me of her because I just want to tell him to ease up and stop worrying about what other people think about him and eventually they will either like him or not. And can I just say that I really hope that tonight's episode was the last time I ever have to hear the word "Eeeagle" again. Hell I will pay them not to ever utter that ear piercing word.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — There's a new proposal in Rhode Island intended to help the state prepare for the effects of climate change.
Legislation announced last week by Democratic state Rep. Arthur Handy of Cranston would create a committee to study the effects of climate change and coordinate efforts to respond to it. It would also set out goals for reducing carbon emissions in the coming decades.
Handy says Rhode Island is particularly vulnerable to climate change and could be a national leader in preparing for it.
Climate change is expected to lead to more severe weather in Rhode Island, along with higher sea levels, rising ocean temperatures, coastal erosion and flooding.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee recently created a Climate Change Council to coordinate the state's efforts to prepare for climate change.

Edited. :o
I flopped down on my bed, muttering darkly words of incoherent abuse to both Tamer and my father who were, thankfully, fully out of earshot. I sighed, a long sigh, and stared into the shadows surrounding my room. You will room with each other for six months. I yanked a pillow from the mound gathered at the headboard of the king-sized bed and pressed it over my face before a vicious scream ripped itself from my throat, raw fury streaming through it. I screamed like that until I was physically drained, and the pillow slipped from my face, stained with mascara. My emotions were overwhelming me, taunting me.
''Suck it up, Tyme,'' I scolded myself, rubbing my eyes. ''It's only six months. Just 'cause you're sharing a room with him doesn't mean you have to be there all the time.''
Still, the dilemma seemed more problematic than ever.
I slid from the silken bed covers with a tremendous effort and weakly crossed the marred wooden floor, and proceeded to open the wardrobe doors. It was a huge walk-in one with clothes scattered everywhere; most of which I'd never even looked at. My body moved on its own, locating the huge suitcases buried beneath a mound of clothes. I dragged it out, back into my room and let it ball on its side in the centre of the Malaysian rug. I sunk to my knees next to it, staring at it. I knew I was meant to pack, and I knew I should be doing it... My mind was suddenly blank, darkness clouding it over. Then, suddenly, I realised what was happening. What am I doing?What was I doing? Why was I beginning to pack? I scrambled away from the suitcase, kicking it in the process and shot up to my feet sluggishly.
Ragged breaths came in short to my lungs, my heart racing. Compulsion! My father had tried to use compulsion on me! That rat! I snarled in defiance and kicked the suitcase once again, sending it skittering away until it came to a halt near the vanity dressing table. I stood a moment, unsure of myself. Surely he'd know if I'd snapped out of his spell, but what would he do? I breathed in, exhaled slowly, and whirled to the glass balcony doors, taking the golden handles in hand. A quick yank and suddenly; sweet release. I drifted onto the white stone balcony, adoration slipping through me in wondrous waves.
The moonlight shone in wavering shafts from the blue tinted sky, falling gracefully upon anything and everything beneath its celestial beauty. We had a coastal residence, and the sea brushed along the white stone of our home, a beach and forest stretching out for miles beneath us. I watched in awe as the moonlight glistened on the ripples of black water, curling silver through it.
''What are you doing out here?'' said a familiar from behind. I turned my head slowly, gazing upon Tamer's relaxed body leaning against the wall next to the glass doors. ''Shouldn't you be packing?'' he sneered, baring his fangs in a malicious smile.
''N-no. What... Hey, why are you in my room anyway?'' I demanded, feeling my body suddenly waver. A weakness fell upon me, my muscles suddenly taking on a horrid lethargy. The wind swept over me in an updraught and I was shocked at the coldness of it. I glanced up at Tamer and caught sight of his devilish grin.
''Feeling the cold, Tyme?''
His tone was bemused and awful, taunting. I shook my head and frowned, feeling belittled. Running a hand through my midnight hair, I made for my room once again. But as I was just about to step into inside's warmth, Tamer's hand closed around my wrist. I stumbled to a halt, turned, and looked at him. An uneasy silence prickled between us as his warm hand stayed clamped around my wrist in an uncomfortably firm grip. ''What?'' I snapped, irritated. He was such a plague sometimes.
''You're hungry, aren't you?''
His voice was low and husky, and it flowed through me like liquified music. Despite the cold, despite what context was contained in that lovely voice, I lapsed into a seconds warm peace at the sound. Then, what he had said processed in my mind and I blinked stupidly at him. ''I...well, yes. Why?''
''We're rooming now,'' he said, pulling me closer to him, ''so I'm not risking on you having a blood lust fest while I'm asleep; and I'll be your only bag of blood.''
I frowned at how he so harshly put it, but he was right. Wait, was he offering to be my donor? Surely he couldn't be; offering your blood to another vampire meant you were weaker, at their unfathomable mercy. And had I the chance, I'd seek to seriously harm Tamer - which he knew and was well awake of this fact. So, why was he doing it? I scowled at his generosity and attempted to shake his hand from mine but he clamped his hold firmly, and suddenly, my back was pressed against the white stone wall, my face pressed into the crook of Tamer's neck. His breathing was steady but his heart was thumping wildly; one didn't need to have hightened senses to know that.
I didn't hesitate.
I darted in as fast as a snake with a prey in sight, and clamped my fangs onto the pale flesh of his neck. His dark, sweet blood poured from the lacerations and alightened me with warmth and power.

Continuing Education for Trident Academy Teachers
The learning never stops for teachers in The School for Language-Based Learning Differences at Trident Academy. Six teachers recently returned from the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE) Conference, and four other teachers will attend week-long trainings at the Phillips Exeter Academy this summer.
Many sessions at the AOGPE Annual Conference focused on the Common Core State Standards. Barbara Wilson, AOGPE fellow, spoke about the positive integration of Orton-Gillingham and the Common Core.
The Common Core of Standards which focus on the foundational skills of reading also align with the Orton-Gillingham approach in reading. According to the Common Core, educators must teach the concepts of print, the alphabetic principle, and other basic conventions of the English writing system. These standards promote a phonetic approach to reading rather than a whole language approach.
"Common Core tells us what to teach, and Orton-Gillingham tells us how to teach," explains Corbin Bettencourt, Trident Academy teacher and associate level member of AOGPE. "The conference was an excellent opportunity to connect with other educators about how they're handling, not just the Common Core implementation, but also other classroom issues."
Trident Academy teachers Sheila Costello, Elizabeth Alexander, Kathleen Loveland, Laura Bryant, and Colby Doetzer joined Mrs. Bettencourt at the conference, which was held near Charlotte, N.C.
This summer, School of Language-Based Learning Differences teachers Julia Carter, Dana Brown, Rhonda McKenna, and Jenny Pringle will attend week-long trainings at Phillips Exeter Academy. Their trips are funded by grants from the Stranahan Foundation, whose mission is to assist individuals and groups in their efforts to become more self-sufficient and contribute to the improvement of society and the environment.
Ms. Carter will attend the Biology Institute at Exeter, a week immersion in biology and the latest biology teaching techniques in a state-of-the-art science education facility. Learn more.
The other teachers will attend the Writers' Workshop, which provides teachers from all academic disciplines the opportunity to spend a week as writers with other talented writers and teachers from around the country. Learn more.

Silver - Daily technial Forecast
Silver closed higher due to profit taking on Monday as it consolidated some of last week's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends last week's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target.

At Cloud Headquarters (Chapter 5)
King Kornelius had been travelling for a while. It was bitterly cold up in the heavens and his water wagon was slowly turning to crystallised ice as was expected. He would soon be reaching Cloud Headquarters. The clouds looked like they were busy at work. It was always a pleasant sight to see the millions of newly created water droplets being hurled from the sky. He would have to remember to stop by the Droplet Factory for a quick inspection. He loved to watch a droplet in the making and see it finally ready to start its journey through the land. They passed by the site of the Monitor and he turned to one of his companions.
"We will need to stop by this site on our way back after my meeting with Cloud Bearer," said the king solemnly.
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"Has there been any news?"
"We have been keeping a close eye and the latest report from the Monitor is that he is still on the loose," said the king's companion.
The King gave a nod with his head and returned to his thoughts. It had been five years since his wife had died. It had been agonising to watch Petuna grow without a mother. It was all coming back to him now. The uprising that had occurred, the escape of Glacier and the avalanche that resulted in the queen's death. He had vowed to find Glacier no matter how long it took him and to publicly banish him from the land. He was a traitor and a murderer in the king's eyes. There was no question about it.
Glacier had been a trusted ally to the king and his companions. But something must have happened to turn him against the king in such a way. Many doctors told the king that it was an illness that Glacier had contracted. They spoke of Storm Blazer's plot to feed Glacier samples of frenzied water droplets over a prolonged period of time. The frenzied droplets were then trapped in the ice crystals that made up Glacier and the result was a latent disease that could not be easily detected. Storm Blazer had the cure. The only way that Glacier could survive was to obey Storm Blazer. The king had heard this theory many times from his advisors as well but he was sceptical.
The king had his own theory. Glacier had become greedy. It was true that he was influenced by Storm Blazer. It was true that perhaps he had one too many a water droplet gone bad. But they could never explain the avalanche that occurred. Only the king knew the truth behind it. It was a phenomenon that only had one justification. Someone had attempted to steal the Amber Crystal from the Crystal Well which in turn triggered the avalanche.
The king had been holidaying nearby at the time and whereas he had managed to save Petuna, it had been too late for his queen. No amount of magic could have saved her from being eaten up by the vicious avalanche. Shortly after the incident, Glacier had disappeared and the king's army had searched the land for months to no avail. That was when a special unit was set up at the Monitor. Its job was to search and arrest Glacier.
"Your Majesty, we shall be arriving shortly. Shall I send a messenger ahead of us to announce your arrival?" said one of the king's companions, jerking him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, very well. Prepare to land and I must see Cloud Bearer as soon as we do," said the king.
Meanwhile at Cloud Headquarters
Cloud Bearer had been meeting with his advisors for hours. They were in deep discussion. One of them was explaining his theory of the invasion.
"There must have been a gap or a hole somewhere in the cloud network. That's the only plausible way for them to have come through."
"Don't be absurd, Cumulus, the network has been scanned several times now for security breaches. It's clean," said Cloud Security.
"You can say that a hundred times but I would say that you're biased. Let one of us check it. We're the ones who are down in the cloud field day in, day out. We know about the flaws that happen every so often!" replied Cumulus.
"Nonsense!" cried Cloud Security, "I personally guarantee that our security system is the best this land has ever had…"
"Yeah sure the best this land has ever had, you say, explain the intrusion then. Go on explain it."
The clouds grew silent as they fumbled to find an explanation. Cloud Bearer watched them closely.
"Arguing will get us nowhere my fellow clouds," said Cloud Bearer, "We do need to find out how this intrusion happened so that we can foresee anything like this happening again in the future. There is no need to cast accusations at this stage." Cloud Bearer flicked a look at Cumulus. "We do need to take responsibility for our actions," Cloud Bearer continued as he looked at Cloud Security, "now we need to focus. The time for theories has passed. I need answers. The king is expected any moment now and I will need to have concrete evidence to back up my claims."
"Here are the reports that show the damage that occurred within the river's internal harmony. We monitored the synchronisation of the water droplets in the river and detected an irregular pattern over the space of a week," said River Check.
River Check had been called upon out of the blue to provide a report on the Flowing River's patterns for the past week. No one had offered any reason until yesterday. He was then summoned without notice to the Cloud Headquarters. Although he felt totally out of the place, after all he was a different water form altogether, they had made him feel welcome and important. River Check had been worried that he would solidify and die having to be transported from the land below where temperatures are warm and comfortable. But he was assured that he would be safe. They had injected him with a special serum that would stop his water droplets from being exposed to the cold in the heavens. He found it amazing that he had maintained his water form at this altitude. As he sat in the committee listening to the theories that the clouds had thrown on the table, he slowly realised that this was a serious matter that was being displayed before him. He resolved to do everything in his power to help.
Cloud Bearer and the other clouds on the committee examined the reports closely. Silence filled the room for what seemed like the longest time for River Check.
Cloud Bearer looked up, "Has the data in these reports been verified?"
"Yes we make it a habit to make sure that important information such as this is not relied upon until at least three separate data readings are made." River Check continued to explain the process that they used at every segment of the river. He had diagrams and charts to show the changes in the flow of the river. He felt proud of his work and wanted to be up to the responsibility that was being placed on his shoulders. River Check walked about the room slowly so that he was in full view of the committee and continued to explain the normality of fluctuations in certain parts of the river which they had been monitoring. But the patterns had changed overnight a week ago. He explained how they had immediately started observing the changes and recording the way that the water droplets had acted irrationally.
"What do you mean by irrationally, River Check?" interrupted Cloud Bearer.
"We initially thought that it was a set of droplets that had gone bad, perhaps through disease. So we took samples and tested them but found that they did not respond to the usual treatment that we gave them."
"Do you mean perhaps," Cloud Bearer chose his words carefully, "that there was a water-wrestler disguised in the river?"
"Well, yes," River Check coughed nervously, "That was our initial thought. But we soon realised that the situation was much more complicated." River Check shuffled back to his seat and sat down. He took a deep breath and said, "The tests that the water droplets went through indicated that they were in shock."
Murmurs spread amongst the clouds in the room. Cloud Bearer raised his hand indicating silence and the clouds turned their attention once again to River Check. Cloud Bearer nodded in silence, "What is the situation at the moment?"
"The droplets are undergoing therapy and the doctors are working around the clock trying to understand this unprecedented phenomenon. It is still far too early but we are hoping that progress will be made soon."
The door to the room opened and a cloud sailed in. He leant over and whispered in Cloud Bearer's ear before sailing out of the room again.
"I'm afraid we're going to have to cut this meeting short. King Kornelius has just arrived. We will continue this at a later stage. Thank you for your input." Cloud Bearer turned towards River Check, "Stay close by and don't wander anywhere tonight. I might need you."
River Check nodded, "Of course, I'll help in any way I can."
"You already have," Cloud Bearer smiled at him and placed his hand on his shoulder.
Shortly Afterwards
Cloud Bearer stood at the platform watching the king's procession advance towards him. His mind raced as to how to break the news to the king who was still trying to recover from his wife's death. He knew that the king had not been the same since the incident and had set out on a personal vendetta to find Glacier and his associates. Nevertheless, the king needed to be brought up to speed on what was happening.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the heavens," Cloud Bearer bowed to the king as he stepped off his wagon and on to the platform.
"I say, let us get inside it's quite chilly out here," said the king, clearly not used to the icy conditions. "Come. We must speak at once."
Moments later the king was standing with Cloud Bearer in the royal quarters. The king stood in the enclosed veranda looking out over his land below. The view was breathtaking. He turned towards Cloud Bearer, "I heard about your extended meetings with the committee. Something must be wrong. What is it?"
"Your Majesty," Cloud Bearer started, "a grave matter has to be brought to your attention. None of us have rested since we discovered it. Our doctors and researchers have been busy at work for over a week now."
"Speak, cloud!"
"Your Majesty, there has been an intrusion."
The king flung himself around, his eyes wide with surprise. Cloud Bearer continued, "I have alerted Cloud Intelligence who has been feeding me with accurate reports."
"Where has it happened? And more importantly who is behind this?"
"We don't know who they are but they have created all sorts of chaos in the Flowing River. It seems that they came through the river and have now settled on land. It all happened a week ago," Cloud Bearer paused momentarily, fidgeting with his hands, "but there is an indication that this has happened before in the past. We didn't notice it before because the agitation in the river was mild. But this time, the disruption has altered the river's flowing pattern in a most noticeable manner."
Cloud Bearer paused for the king's reaction but the king motioned for him to continue.
"Cloud Intelligence has been monitoring these intruders and they seem to have taken refuge in the Dark Forest."
"We need to find out who these intruders are and which lands they have come from."
"Your Majesty," Cloud Bearer struggled to break the news, "it seems that the intrusion happened in such a way that it was not something from this land or any other land that is known to us."
The king brought his head up, his eyebrow raised in surprise, "Are you telling me that we have an alien invasion? That's absolutely absurd!"
"I have these reports," Cloud Bearer dug into the papers that River Check had given him. "They show that the water droplets in that section of the river have gone into shock. There's only one explanation for this – that they witnessed something that was too much to bear. They must have been exposed to something out of this world."
The king scanned over the reports, his eyebrows deeply furrowed and was about to question the validity of the information when the door to the quarters flung open. A tiny cloud burst into the room in a flurry. He quickly kneeled before the king and greeted Cloud Bearer.
"Your Majesty. Cloud Bearer. I'm awfully sorry but.. but.." the cloud stuttered nervously.
"What is it cloud!" roared the king.
"Your Majesty, Princess Petuna has been captured!" cried the cloud, tears running and freezing down his face.
Cloud Bearer ran towards the cloud grabbing him by the shoulder until he was as tall as him. "What?! Who has captured her?"
"Cl..cloud B..bearer, the intruders, the intruders did. I saw it with my own eyes and couldn't wait. I had to come and tell you myself," the cloud cried, his fluff shivering with grief and fear.
"Fetch me Cloud Intelligence! Immediately!" shouted the king, "and find those fairies."
