The phone rang early. It was Opal. They just called from the clinic, she said. Your Dad doesn't need to come in for his radiation today. They want him to rest a day. But y'all can still come over and see us. We can go have lunch at Ryans.
So, that was the first switch of the day. Get up Matt, I said, we're leaving for Jasper at 11. Granddaddy doesn't need you to take him to the clinic, but they want us to go to lunch ...

My Mom will never brush my hair again, there's no more slipping in the kitchen door for Aunt Clara's chocolate cake.

Good 3.8 /5 from 83 reviews
Perfect in every way!
Room was clean and tidy, staff were helpful despite little English being spoken. The big drawback was the rooms are tiny. The bed takes up almost the whole room. The bathroom is tiny, you had to step around the toilet to get through the bathroom door. A very creative use of space.
Hotel staff were very helpful, the room were clean and comfortable but a little bit cramped. parking was adequate and secure, close to the autoroute but did not have the road noise
Lovely hotel friendly staff but a little out of town, Ok if you have a car. Nice French restaurant attached

The superb physique of 2004 USA overall champion Mark Dugdale will grace the stage at this year's Iron Man Pro show, an event where he predicts he will qualify for his first ever Olympia appearance.
Based on his 8th placing and the many commendations he received at his pro debut at this very show in 2005, and the 5th placing he received at last year's event, he has every chance of snaring a top five spot come February 17.
Although he will not be the most massive competitor onstage, Mark will certainly be one of the classiest with symmetry and proportions many competitors would give an arm and a leg for. As all top five athletes now automatically qualify for the Olympia, and given the improvements Mark has made over the past year, one could safely say that 2007 will be the year that Mark makes his Olympia debut, a goal he is extremely driven to achieve.
Check Out Mark's Amateur Of The Week Page Here!
[ Q ] How do you feel (physically and mentally) this far out from the Iron Man pro?
[ A ] I have not felt this good since I won the 2004 USA.

Mark At The 2004 Nationals.
View More Pics From The 2004 Nationals Here.
[ Q ] What are your goals for this show?
[ A ] To qualify for the Olympia - I'm sick of going every year and watching, I want to be onstage with the best.
[ Q ] Realistically, how do you feel you will stack up against the other competitors? What will be your main strengths?
[ A ] I don't know and honestly I don't care. I'm looking to continually improve my physique - which is all I can control, so that's where my focus stays.
[ Q ] What do you like about competing in the Iron Man Pro? As a pro bodybuilder, what is the significance of doing well in this show?
[ A ] It's in a fantastic venue and it's in California, what else do you need? Actually it rains every year, but being from Seattle - I'm right at home. John Balik puts on a first-class show and Lonnie Teper brings the personality, which makes for a great production. Technically, doing well could carry some momentum into the ASC, but I just take one contest at a time.
[ Q ] What have been your training and nutrition strategies this time around?
[ A ] I changed up quite a bit with my training, which is probably why I've enjoyed such a great off-season. You will have to wait to read about it in FLEX Magazine, though.
[ Q ] Did you do anything differently to prepare for this show?
[ A ] I ordered all my supplements from Bodybuilding.com - no joke, check my order history.
[ Q ] What improvements have you made since your last show?
[ A ] My approach has always been small, incremental changes, so I won't really even know until I see the pics after the show.

[ Q ] What can the fans expect to see from you?
[ A ] Hopefully the best physique onstage and certainly the best physique I'm capable of bringing.
[ Q ] Who do you see as being your biggest competition?
[ A ] As I said earlier, I don't worry about the competition. Even if Jay Cutler entered there is nothing I would do differently to prepare for the show.
[ Q ] What other pro shows do you plan to enter this year?
[ A ] The Arnold Classic and the Olympia.
[ Q ] Any final thoughts?
[ A ] Yes, a big thank you to my wife Christina for weathering the storm of contest prep and for all people who email me their support - I sincerely thank you all.
Mark's Wife, Christina.

At Monsanto, we're all about sustainable solutions. That's why we're committed to getting the public involved in a global conversation about the methods we're using in order to help grow enough food for a growing world. Ask your own questions regarding anything from honey bee health, GMOs, to sustainability in agriculture and more.
Whether it's in soybean or cotton, the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System will utilize herbicide-tolerant trait technologies to help maximize yield potential, weed control and quality.
In December 2015, Monsanto announced a first-of-its-kind program to introduce a model for carbon neutral crop production that will help reduce the carbon footprint of crop production.
Sustainability is a journey that presents a constant but welcome challenge: how can we push ourselves to achieve even more? How do we feed a growing planet in a changing climate?
We work to help farmers produce food in a sustainable way. We think holistically about how our food is grown so farmers have the tools they need to have better harvests - to make a plate of meats, grains, fruits and vegetables within reach for every family.
St. Louis, MO and Sao Paulo (May 16, 2013) -- Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) noted that the company will continue to pursue its appeal of today's ruling by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice. The company will seek a further appeal at the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice. Monsanto also noted that it has previously filed an appropriate appeal through which the patent term correction matter would ultimately be heard and decided by the Supreme Court of Brazil.
The company said that today's ruling does not change the current status of Roundup Ready soybeans in Brazil. Monsanto has previously noted that it will defer the collection of royalties for first-generation Roundup Ready soybeans in the country until a final decision has been reached by the courts. The company intends to continue documenting and maintaining the customary commercial information from those that use first-generation Roundup Ready soybeans during this deferral period.
Today's ruling relates to Monsanto's request for term correction of a patent covering its Roundup Ready® soybean product in Brazil. The ruling represents a further step in the ongoing legal process within the country. The company is expected to now move forward with the next phase of the appeals process within the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice in order to secure its intellectual property rights and ensure its business is not disrupted in the country. After the Superior Court of Justice issues a final ruling on this matter, the case will be definitively decided by the Supreme Court of Brazil.
In Brazil, first-generation Roundup Ready soybeans are protected by various proprietary rights, including patents. In accordance with Brazilian law, Monsanto has sought to correct the term of one of its Brazilian patents to 2014. That matter is still pending.
Farmers that would prefer to seek an immediate resolution continue to have the choice to enroll in a simplified form of the previously announced discharge agreement. This document is available online at: www.monsanto.com.br.
About Monsanto CompanyMonsanto Company is a leading global provider of technology-based solutions and agricultural products that improve farm productivity and food quality. Monsanto remains focused on enabling both small-holder and large-scale farmers to produce more from their land while conserving more of our world's natural resources such as water and energy.

One of the most impressive stands in British racing, the Queen's Stand is at the heart of the action.
The superb Grandstand, where the Duchess's Stand is located, provides an excellent relaxed atmosphere to view the racing.
One of iconic images of the Investec Derby Festival is the famous open top buses that line the closing yards of the track to the finish.
With a trackside view all the way down to the pivotal Tattenham Corner, betting facilities and the opportunity see the event unfolding in front of you, it represents excellent value.
The Hillside Enclosure is brand new for 2017, with entertainment for all members of the family. Step to the left for inflatables, pony rides and magicians in the Family Zone, or to the right for live music and giant garden games in the Garden Party
The Poundland Hill is the famous free area at the centre of the racecourse and is usually the heart of the party as people flock to its unique carnival atmosphere. No tickets are required to access the Poundland Hill on either day - just turn up and enjoy for free!
The vibrant atmosphere, roaring laughter and thundering hooves of top quality racing are what make the Investec Derby Festival an unmistakably British event and The Greatest Summer Celebration.
Rain or shine, every year on the first Friday of June, a multitude of ladies and gents head to Epsom Downs Racecourse to experience a day full of high octane racing, music, glamour and fashion. Across the Queen's Stand to The Hill there is an air of excitement all round.
Dressed to impress, Ladies in the Queen's Stand and Duchess's Stand are invited to enter the Style Awards with the promise of not only taking the title but going home with some superb prizes, including a luxury holiday to Mexico. With a series of seven races throughout the day and post racing DJ set from Mark Wright on the Hyperion Lawn it's a day to mark the start of your summer.
One of the greatest race days and social occasions of the British summer calendar, Saturday 3rd June is a day not to be missed.
From the carnival atmosphere and picnics on the Hill, to top hat and tails in the Queen's Stand and upbeat musical entertainment, topped off by a post DJ set from BBC Radio 2's Jo Whiley, on the Hyperion Lawn in the Duchess's Stand, it is a day that delivers a truly quintessentially British experience. It's a vibrant day full of fun, cheers and celebrations.
Amongst the seven races, features The Greatest Flat Race in the World. The race that only the best three year olds can compete in. The race they get just one shot at. The one all Jockey's want to win. The Investec Derby Stakes.


text: "Maradona?" you'll simper, highlights glinting under hot and beery bulbs. "The lethal dribbler? No, never heard of her." You'll sip a pint of jellied eels and rearrange your skirt around your aristocratic thighs in such a way that even the pub dog won't be able to see your thong. You have been waiting for this day, and now it has come - behind your too-blue eyes, the authentic London barman sees your GNVQ in High-Profile Relationships whirring into action. Since dancing briefly with him at your coming-out party in '99 and then sharing a dog at a shoot some years later, Ritchie has been your perfect man. Cockney without being common, obscenely wealthy without having to wear a suit, a man whose relationship with the paparazzi can seriously help your Celebrity Big Brother application, and a cousin twice removed, this is a guy worth dropping one's "h"s for. You'll trace a shamrock on his Guinness and recross your legs.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

Bad Faith Insurance | Lawsuits, Lawyers | Policy Holders: Denied Claims | Lender Violations, Denial Of Claim, Acting In Bad Faith
Bad faith insurance is any matter concerning an insurance claim by an insured individual that is wrongfully denied by the insurance company. An insurance policy is considered a contract between you and your insurance carrier. This contract requires that your insurance company acts in good faith toward you. When an insurance company unfairly denies the benefits of the policy from its insured policy holders, it is considered to be in bad faith.
There are numerous examples of how an insurance company can commit bad faith, they include: failing to promptly and methodically examine a claim; unjustly delaying payment; unreasonably refusing benefits to a claim; using unreasonable interpretations in translating policy language; and refusing to settle the case or refund you for the entirety of your loss. Insurance Bad faith constitutes not only breach of your insurance policy contract with your policy holder but also includes injuries personally sustained outside of the insurance contract.
If such a violation exceeds that of being unreasonable and is established to be false, misleading or fraudulent, a judgment can be attained and punitive damages honored exceeding damages for the loss under the policy as punishment for bad faith.
Bad faith insurance practices are also found in the HMOs & Managed Care Organizations; Homeowners Insurance and Disability Insurance arenas.

Both times that I've been pregnant, I had to deal with ignorant comments about my growing belly. During my first pregnancy, absolute strangers who wanted to know all the details about my blossoming baby bump fascinated me. At first, I welcomed the questions, until they started to become insults. I was so appalled by some of the comments that I decided to keep track of the worst insults that can be directed to a pregnant woman.

Figure it outMature
As the full moon grew closer, Lazarus and Melissa finally dragged themselves out of the apartment to go and see the alpha. Her stomach was already rounding with maternity, and in a state of slight concern, Lazarus had consulted Google about the pregnancy of a wolf. "Three months?" he had been slightly skeptical. He'd been expecting the human average of nine, but it seemed to make sense. Melissa seemed to be swelling almost visibly by the hour.
Kito seemed incredulous. "Didn't it ever occur to you to use a condom?" he asked, "or... was this planned?"
"It hadn't even occurred to me that Melissa's body would be completely functional after spending the last four hundred years as a vampire," Lazarus muttered, still in shock, even a week on from finding out. He'd always wanted to settle down with someone at last and just be happy. It had been enough that he'd got that wish, but after their previous talks of family and wishing after something that they had believed would never happen, it seemed like his dreams were almost coming true, "so no, it hadn't really crossed my mind to use a condom."
"Umm, I'm right here," Melissa reminded them and Kito nodded.
"Yeah. Well, are you both happy with this, then?" She nodded and smiled, turning to Lazarus, who grinned, kissing her firmly.
"Very happy," he murmured, squeezing her hand gently, "I just have one question... well, two; what happens at the full moon? I mean, while she's pregnant... and after, even. What happens to the kids?"
"You know you're lucky I've had experience of this... wolves generally pass on their genes by scratching another human, not by conceiving children," Kito half smiled, "anyway, Melissa won't transform while she is pregnant, which is roughly two or three cycles. Depends when you... yeah. As for the kids, they won't start to transform until they're about ten or so, but it's part of their DNA, they'll understand what's happening to their parents. Any other questions?"
"Yeah, um..." Melissa paused, slightly shy, "what do I do about a doctor's appointment, I mean... does the pack have their own doctor or something?"
"Doctors?" Kito held back a laugh, "you don't need one, that's what nature is there for."
"Of course," she mumbled in disbelief, "nature."
"Well what do you think a doctor would have to say to a three month pregnancy, hmm?"
"But, I just thought you might have your own, perhaps a werewolf that was a doctor... I mean, I'm not sure how far along I am already..."
"No, sorry. You'd be talking to the doc now if we had one," he shrugged, "but hey, nature seemed to serve us pretty well the last time this happened. I mean, it was only a litter of three, but what can you expect, eh?" he smiled widely, as if remembering something that he still felt was worth celebrating. Lazarus' eyes widened ever so slightly. Only three?
"Only a litter of three..." She paused, still maintaining her soft smile, "so, the whole pack won't be there, will they?"
"No, why would we all be in your apartment?" he laughed slightly, "you might be part of the pack, but you guys are still entitled to some privacy, y'know."
"The apartment... I'm guessing you'll be there though." Kito shrugged.
"Well it's up to you where you give birth, and who's there. I'll be there if you want, but I figured it'd be something between you and your mate."
"Crap. Wolf!" She exclaimed, causing both Kito and Lazarus to look at her in confusion. "Amber, she's not Bane's mate, plus... what she going to be like with pups? She's a pup herself!" she explained and the two men both murmured an 'oh' as they understood.
"That's nothing to do with me; it's entirely up to you two to work that out."
"Aiee..." she moaned, glancing at Lazarus, "plus you'll have your hands full being Beta...perhaps, it's not a good idea after all..."
"It's fine, we'll be fine," he promised her; he suddenly wanted to keep the baby - or babies - more than he realised. The desire to protect his unborn offspring was as strong as his desire to protect Melissa.
She sighed, "I'm gonna get fat."
"I doubt it," Kito smiled, "anyways, do you need me for anything else?" She nodded, hugging him for a moment, thanking him. He returned the hug briefly, "no problem. Let me know if you guys need anything, 'kay?" he retreated a few steps, lifted a hand waving them goodbye, before walking away.
"Okay," She nodded, turning back to Lazarus, "only a litter of three..."
"We'll work something out," he smiled, taking her hand again as they turned to walk back to the apartment. They would have to make creative use of the spare room. At the moment, it was filled with their unpacked boxes and gathering dust. They'd have to do something with that, and quickly, if they only had three months before she would give birth.
"What do you mean?"
"Three kids must be a handful..."
"No doubt... but, I'm really worried about Amber. I mean, you're my mate but, I don't want to push her into loving Bane." He sighed, nodding.
"I suppose all they have to do is get on. It'll be us raising the kids after all."
"And at full moon, when they need their mother and father more?"
"I dunno... like I said, we'll figure it out."
"Oh... but there's so much to figure out." He nodded again, more to himself this time. There was a lot to figure out, and he wasn't entirely sure how he was going to go about it, but he was sure that he would think of something. He smiled slightly, Bane, you're gonna have to stop being such a grumpy old bastard and help me make this work out.

Story Behind this Recipe
I often make adobo when we have guests. It's been 25 years since I started making it! I normally use chicken drumettes and pork shoulders, and season it with red wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and mirin. But, I made this one with the ingredients you use to make Pina Colada (a name of a cocktail, which also means pineapple juice).

She's a keeper lads..
"Here it is. It is uncut because I hate to edit things and I stink at it. I did two in a row. My time on the first was 4 min 58 sec. I will go back and have the steak non-butterflied – totally a disadvantage for me. I hope to do it well under 4 min next time – also I am going to try and do 3 whole meals under an hours. Enjoy the video. :)"

Chapter One
It was just another ordinary Tuesday for Anna Samson in the restaurant until she was introduced to the young, charming and mysterious French man, Marc Beal. Since that meeting, her life will soon change for the better. But at what cost?
Never in my life had I felt more lost than I did the summer I'd moved to London. I was twenty-two years old, straight out of University, and I knew no one. Mum and dad were living in the Midlands, most of my friends were living and working nearer to their hometowns and the rest had lost contact since graduating. I, on the other hand, had decided to move away from my family and friends and live the city life in one of the busiest and most expensive cities to live and work in.
Despite recently graduating with a 2:1 in Art History, I still had no idea where to take my career or if there was even a career out there waiting for me. The fact was, I'd taken a degree that I enjoyed, but I'd taken it for all the wrong reasons. I'd chosen it because I'd enjoyed it as a hobby, but that didn't mean that I necessarily wanted to pursue it as a career. I enjoyed visiting museums and landmarks, but I didn't want to be working at one of them for the rest of my life.
So, for now, I was paying far too much rent to live in a tiny studio flat in Islington, just bordering Camden, and was working as a waitress at 'Lucia's', a small restaurant run by a first generation Greek family which served both traditional Greek dishes and the more recognisable delicacies which most people might be more associated with, such as burgers and chips. Although my job wasn't the worst I had found, it wasn't what I was looking for, considering I had a degree under my belt. However, it was a stable job that would keep me going until I found what I was really looking for. Preferably, I was looking for something within the city centre, but even I knew that it was an unlikely scenario at that moment in time.
Also, working in the restaurant did give me the chance to meet people and to even make friends of some sort. Rena Kara was a year younger than me and was the daughter of Hector Kara, my employer and owner of Lucia's. There was also Darrien, Rena's older brother, who was twenty four and engaged to be married to Astrid Nikolas, the daughter of a family friend of more than twenty years. I worked alongside the Kara siblings and the four of us, including Astrid, would meet up outside of work occasionally. These three people were the closest people I had to friends here in London and they were my confidants in needs of crisis, not that there had been many times I'd felt in trouble or danger to that extent so far.
One Tuesday morning, in the middle of May, I'd found myself staring at a crack in one of the white tiles on the kitchen wall as I aimless wiped a dirty plate clean with an equally dirty dish cloth. I hadn't any idea how I'd come to staring at the crack, but I'd found myself staring at it all the same. The sounds of the busy kitchen was just background noise to me at that point and words went in one ear and out of the other. It wasn't until Rena shook my shoulder that I broke free of my blank out.
"Earth to Anna, did you hear a word I just said to you?" she asked, an anxious look spread across her olive skin. Rena was a beautiful girl and could be doing so much more with her life than working in her father's restaurant. It had often been mentioned that she could be a model, she was that beautiful. But she had shook the compliments to one side and said that her family came first and her father's business was the only 'career' she had in her mind at that time.
"Sorry, no I didn't, Rena. What was it you said?" I answered apologetically. I'd felt guilty for blanking her, as I'd considered her one of my closer friends here. She rolled her eyes and sighed at having to repeat herself, but she gave a reassuring smile to let me know that she wasn't angry with me.
"Papa wanted me to let you know that we're starting to get really busy now and that you're needed out front to wait tables. Also, that if you continue to clean that one plate it will soon break in two."
"Oh, okay. I'll be there in a minute." I answered placing the, now, clean plate and dish cloth to one side. Rena gave a small giggle and squeezed my arm encouragingly before returning through the doors to the restaurant floor. I took a deep breath, tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear and took my notepad and pencil from the pocket in my apron before following her to my designated area of the restaurant.
It was a little after one in the afternoon so it was fairly busy with people arriving for lunch breaks or meeting up with friends. The restaurant was in one of the busier areas for shopping and socialising in Islington so the variety of clientele was fairly mixed; there had only been a couple occasions where there had been incidents where Hector had been forced to remove people from the premise for disorderly or unacceptable behaviour during my time working there. Fortunately it had been no one in the area I had been working in that night.
I glanced over to Zone A, Rena's area, which was to the left side nearest to the kitchens. She was taking the order of a young couple, barely in their teens, who were dressed in what appeared to be a customised version of a school uniform. I overheard them order an extra double cheese burger with chips, a ham and cheese salad baguette and a strawberry milkshake to share. That seemed sweet, but that was young love I guessed.
As I approached Zone B, Darrien's area, I saw that he was clearing away the remnants of a table that had just had a mother and her five kids sat at. The table was covered in array pieces of chicken nuggets, chips and tomato ketchup and I could hear Darrien muttering under his breath at the mess. He wasn't a huge fan of some of the children that came through the restaurant doors.
My area, Zone C, was by the window and looked out onto the street outside and two of the shops across the road, a cheap jewellers and a discount goods store. Zone C was usually quite busy due to the fact that it was usually a preference for most people who came in. Today was no exception. My area was mostly filled with those who had come from work on a quick lunch break and mostly ordered baked potatoes and salads with either a soft drink or, most commonly, a coffee. The amount of times the same orders were scribbled onto my notepad from Zone C I could have recycled them and used them over and over again without wasting paper. Of course, each of the areas we worked at were rotated along with our shifts but, despite it being the busiest area, Zone C was my favourite to work in.
It began to quieten at around half three and the general buzz that had filled the restaurant a couple hours before had now turned down to more of a hum, which was nice before the rush again in the evening. There weren't many people left now, other than elderly couples, young mothers with toddlers, and the odd teenager bunking the afternoon off from school. I had just said goodbye to an elderly gentleman who had been sat at a table by the front door, and who had also left quite a nice tip for me, when someone else had come in at the same time the elderly man had been leaving. It was partially my own fault for being where I was at the time, but as they had come in they opened the door straight into my back which had cause me to jerk forward and be pushed into the table, knocking off a coffee cup and the cutlery the gentleman had been using to floor. I yelped slightly at the minor pain in my back and felt the rest of the restaurant staring at me awkwardly.
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" a male voice said behind me. His accent hinted that English wasn't necessarily his first language, but was clear enough that he had at least been speaking it for several years now.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered, gripping hold of the sides of the table and straightening my back gently, to assess the extent of any injuries that may have occurred. It was nothing serious in my opinion, though my knowledge of medical diagnosis was limited to zero. I sensed the man coming to my side so I looked over to reassure him I was fine.
Within that fraction of second I turned to face him, my mind was erased and my mouth became dry. I had no reasoning behind my initial reaction, other than the fact that his closeness was perhaps a little off putting. To be completely truthful, it may also have been the fact that this man was very beautiful to look at. He was a tall, slightly tanned man with a slim physique with short black hair and groomed stubble gracing a strong jaw line. His eyes were the lightest shade of brown I had ever seen, almost yellow, which completely contrasted mine which shared more of a resemblance to dirt. I noted the expression on his face as it went from being concerned or anxious to one which I imagined almost mirrored mine: stunned or confused. Our eyes were fixed onto each other's and an awkward silence rang between the two of us alone. I heard footsteps approaching a few steps away and Darrien's voice speaking as merely background noise. I shook myself out of my awkwardly frozen state and saw Darrien's face beside the stranger's.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" he asked, worried. I noticed him give a quick glance and look over at the man beside him, almost giving a disapproving look for the accident he'd caused. The stranger's eyes remained on me alone.
"No, no. I'm fine, Darrien. Honest. I'm okay." I answered, forcing a weak smile to try and reassure him. Darrien nodded and backed away cautiously from the two of us. I looked back to him awkwardly not knowing what to say before finally bending down to pick up the pieces of the broken coffee cup and cutlery from the floor.
"Here, let me help you." He said, bending down also.
"No, no. I'm fine. It's my job." I answered, not wanting to look him in the eye again. I'd somehow come across really nervous in front of this man and I couldn't understand it at all. He was just another customer, like every other customer I had ever seen walk through the restaurant doors before him.
"Yes, but it's my fault that you're now picking up broken coffee cups from the floor." His accent hinted towards that which I thought was possibly French; perhaps French Canadian, I couldn't be sure.
"Honestly, it's fine. I'm nearly done." I retaliated. I reached over to get one last piece from under the table and as I came back up, hit my forehead on the underside of the table. I groaned and closed my eyes through the minor pain now moved from back to my head.
"Now look, I've made you hit your head too." He responded worriedly. He took the remains of the coffee cup from my hands and placed them back onto the table, before taking my hands and lifting me to my feet. He then took hold of my face and turned it gently to face his as he examined my forehead. He looked closely and intensely before smiling weakly and gazing back towards me, "you'll be fine. You'll most likely get a small bump but no bruising, hopefully. Nothing too traumatic."
"Umm, thank you." I answered, feeling awkward and not wanting to fix my gaze with his. I'd only just met this man, yet he somehow made me feel like nothing I'd ever felt before, "Did you want anything? I mean, did you want to order anything to eat or drink?"
"That is usually what people come to restaurants to do." He answered smirking and snickering playing. He placed his hands in his pockets and tilted his head to the side slighting, gazing at me all the same. I felt like such an idiot at that moment, of course he'd come in to eat.
"Okay. I'll take you to a, err, clean table and one of us will be with you shortly." I answered, moving before he could say another word. I didn't know where to seat him. A lot of our smaller tables where in Zone C but part of me didn't want to serve him for unknown reasons. Instead I sat him just inside Zone B with Darrien. Maybe he would sit and enjoy his food, leave and forget about me if I left him to his business. I couldn't be sure, "Are you okay with a booth?"
"I'm fine wherever." He answered beside me. I moved across so he could slide into the booth. He sat himself on the side facing the kitchen door, opposite the window, and his gaze never left mine.
"Good. One of us will be with you shortly to take your order." Like before, I turned away from him before he could add anything else and headed towards the kitchen. I passed Darrien, who setting out fresh cutlery on a table he'd just wiped down but I didn't look at him. I burst straight through the kitchen doors and was met by the anxious expressions of Rena and her father.
"What happened, Anna?" Hector asked with his thick Greek accent, "Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm not. I keep telling you all, I'm fine." I snapped. My mind was all over the place, I couldn't think straight.
"What about that guy? What did he do?" Rena contributed, coming towards me and taking hold of both my hands. I saw her glance up to the bump that was forming in the top corner of my forehead and a sad look draw near in her eyes.
"He didn't do anything. It was an accident and he wanted to make sure I was okay. Nothing serious, honest." I answered.
"We just want to make sure you're okay. You looked a little uneasy before. What did he say to you?" she asked.
"He just said he was sorry and that he wanted to help."
"Well, where is he now?" Hector questioned.
"In a booth in Darrien's area." I murmured, wanting to be done with this conversation.
"He's still here?" Rena exclaimed.
"Well he did come to eat, why shouldn't he still be here." I answered, "Look, can we just drop it, please? There was a minor accident, it's all sorted now and we have another customer who Darrien will soon be taking an order from. Who can complain about that?" just then the kitchen door opened and Darrien entered looking uneasy.
"What's the matter?" Rena asked her brother, sensing something may be wrong.
"It's that guy." He answered, shuffling from one foot to the other. There was almost a sense of aggression or frustration in his voice as he spoke and it made me feel a little uneasy.
"What about him?" Hector asked, a little confused; he had been the only one out of the four of us who hadn't yet seen this man or witnessed the incident personally.
"He won't let me take his order." Darrien replied.
"What?" Hector exclaimed, "What does he think this place is? Does he think it's just a place to hang out? Does he think he can just sit there and not order anything? Well?"
"It's not that he won't order anything, papa. It's the fact he won't let me take his order." He confessed, looking over at me anxiously.
"Why not?" I asked. I could see where this was headed and I wasn't sure if I liked it.
"He said he'll only let you wait his table, Anna." He announced.

I edit the source links. Currently, most source links are identical to destination links, but that is what will change completely once we introduce schemes. There is no way you can pretend <link href="linkmap:/primer"> is a destination link, because browsers don't understand the 'linkmap' protocol. Only Cocoon can. Just as Cocoon translates source docs (XML) to destination docs (HTML), it translates source URIs (link:, java:, etc URIs) to destination URIs. > With this in mind, you can infer why I don't see the need for a file: > scheme. > > Thus I link to the resulting URI space, not the source one.

Your view is perfectly clear and simple: schemes are aliasing mechanisms to simplify linking to the destination URI space. My view only makes sense once you a) buy into the notion that the Source URI space exists and is distinct from the Destination URI space, b) understand that, given a), the implied *source* protocol for links is currently 'cocoon:'. Only then does the reason for file: become apparent: static links do _not_ have the implied 'cocoon:' scheme. We need a different scheme to disambiguate, say, a static index.pdf, and an index.pdf generated from index.xml. > >I described this notion of separating the Source and Destination URI > >space in a RT: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=103959284100002&r=1&w=2 > > I read it, and I basically agree with it, except the above distinction > which wasn't clear to me in the first place. > > >So that is the theory: it is better to have an explicit file: scheme, > >because it distinguishes those URIs from the implied 'cocoon:' scheme, > >and fits in better in a world where there are schemes everywhere. > > Please expand on this. Do you mean file scheme=sources and cocoon > scheme=resulting URI space? Yes. In a perfect world, the default scheme would be file:, not cocoon:. So we could have <link href="primer.xml">, or <link href="hello.pdf">. Then, a linkmap would genuinely be an aliasing mechanism, but aliasing in the _Source_ URI space. Eg, <link href="site:/primer"> would be exactly equivalent to <link href="primer.xml"> (or ../primer.xml or ../../primer.xml etc).

The implied URI scheme is 'cocoon:'. By adding a 'file:' prefix, the user is saying "no, this file is local". There is nothing wrong with this, and no other way to distinguish between, say, a static index.pdf and one generated from index.xml. The sitemap simply takes advantage of the lexical difference. > We decided to take away the extension to files, but this file: thing > does the same conceptual thing, it selects the sitemap to use inside the > link. The difference is, the file: scheme is not added to make the sitemap simpler.

I want that link to break! I don't want Cocoon to be clever, and create one from index.xml. Resource-exists is an utter hack that doesn't (cannot!) meet use-cases like this, because ultimately, only the user can know if they are referring to a local file, or one generated by Cocoon. > >Secondly, introducing a 'file:' prefix fixes the current name clash > >problem.

See above. There is _no way_ that a sitemap, with MIMETypeActions and resource-exists and any other crazy hacks you care to name, can 100% correctly choose between a static index.pdf and one generated from index.xml. Simply cannot, because there is missing info only the user knows. That is what the file: prefix adds. --Jeff
